But is it publishable? Mastering the MMed message

Description: The research requirement for South African specialist registration offers opportunities and challenges. For some clinicians it may spark a lifelong interest in clinical investigation, while for many others it may provide a potential publication opportunity. Integrating the specific requirements of an MMed mini-dissertation with those of standard medical publications can be difficult for first-time authors and their supervisors; published guidance caters to full-length laboratory Master’s or doctoral research. We suggest that research is more likely to be publishable if it is locally relevant, has a clear clinical message and is coherently presented.

Essential medicine selection during the COVID-19 pandemic: Enabling access in uncharted territory

Authors: A G Parrish
Date: 2020
Language: English
Type: text , article
Identifier: http://hdl.handle.net/11260/3364 , vital:43319 , http://www.samj.org.za/index.php/samj/article/view/13086
Description: The COVID-19 pandemic requires urgent decisions regarding treatment policy in the face of rapidly evolving evidence. In response, the South African Essential Medicines List Committee established a subcommittee to systematically review and appraise emerging evidence, within very short timelines, in order to inform the National Department of Health COVID-19 treatment guidelines. To date, the subcommittee has reviewed 14 potential treatments, and made recommendations based on local context, feasibility, resource requirements and equity. Here we describe the rapid review and evidence-to-decision process, using remdesivir and dexamethasone as examples. Our experience is that conducting rapid reviews is a practical and efficient way to address medicine policy questions under pandemic conditions.

Apartheid debt - The pension component

Authors: AIDC
Date: 1996
Subjects: Alternative Information & Development Centre (AIDC)
Language: English
Type: text
Identifier: http://hdl.handle.net/10962/114703 , vital:34015
Description: The Alternative Information and Development Centre (AIDC) and the NGO Coalition have called upon the new democratic government of South Africa not to pay the apartheid debt, incurred by the previous regime. The Reconstruction and Development Programme is suffering under the weight of interest payments on the debts made by the apartheid regime. Our organisations have argued that this debt is an odious debt incurred in the process of maintaining the system of apartheid. While major organisations of civil society have shown great interest in this issue, business and government circles . have been sceptical. A consistent concern has been raised in relation to the impact of debt cancellation for state pension holders.

Indigenous African language media: practices and processes: Phillip Mpofu, Israel Ayinla Fadipe and Thulani Tshabangu (eds). 2023: Book review

Authors: Aiseng, Kealeboga
Date: 2024
Subjects: To be catalogued
Language: English
Type: text , article
Identifier: http://hdl.handle.net/10962/455257 , vital:75416 , https://doi.org/10.1080/02572117.2024.2324032
Description: Research on indigenous African language media is ongoing (see Chibuwe and Salawu, 2020; Chikaipa and Gunde, 2020; Aiseng, 2022). Scholars constantly embark on this fascinating journey encompassing various topics, including lan-guage preservation, cultural representation, media policy and audience reception. Research has proven that media products in indigenous African languages are growing exponentially, with media creatives continuing to see the need to produce content in these languages. Films, songs, soap operas and digital media tools increasingly endorse African indigenous languages as their primary mode of de-livery, challenging and unsettling the monopoly that Indo-european languages have enjoyed in these spaces.

The commercial agricultural economy of the East Cape: Die kommersiële landbou-ekonomie van die Oos-Kaap

Authors: Antrobus, Geoffrey G
Date: 2010
Language: English
Type: text , article
Identifier: http://hdl.handle.net/10962/143079 , vital:38199 , DOI: 10.1080/03031853.1991.9524228
Description: The East Cape, and in particular the Smaldeel area, is used to exemplify some of the characteristics and problems of commercial farming over a period of about three decades to serve as a backdrop for the broader theme of normalising South African agriculture. The regional economy is dominated by Port Elizabeth-Uitenhage and East London which account for most of the population and three-fourths of the Gross Geographic Product (GGP). Agriculture accounts for only 10% of GGP, but is one of the most labour intensive sectors in a region with 24% of its population unemployed. The agricultural economy of the region is very diversified, but livestock farming plays the most important part in all areas contributing 72% of gross income. The chief changes which have occured in East Cape farming, as elsewhere, have been the decline in the number of farms and increase in farm size, greater capital investment, increased specialisation and declining employment.

Inauguration of Steve Bantu Biko Building

Authors: Badat, Saleem
Date: 2008
Language: English

Description: From introduction: Institutional loyalty, especially in the case of a university, does not mean being uncritical and denying historical truths. The inauguration of the Stephen Bantu Biko Building is, therefore, a good occasion for “a critical appreciation of where we” as Rhodes University “come from”. Credit is due to the pioneers who 104 years ago created Rhodes; to those who, under difficult and financially trying conditions, steered its subsequent development; to those who oversaw its maturation from a University College under the auspices of the University of South Africa to a fully-fledged University in 1951, and to the subsequent generations that energetically toiled to produce the Rhodes University of today’s enviable reputation.
