Measures included the ImPACT Verbal and Visual Memory, Visuomotor Speed and Reaction Time Composites, Digit Symbol Substitution and Digit Symbol Incidental Recall (immediate and delayed), the ImPACT Symptom Scale and a Post-concussion Symptom (PCS) questionnaire. Independent t-tests on cognitive measures at pre-and post-season revealed a predominant trend of Contact and 2+ Concussion groups performing worse, although only ImPACT Reaction Time at pre-season reached significance (p = 0.014). PCS comparisons revealed an overwhelming tendency of enhanced symptoms for Contact and 2+ Concussion groups with total scores being significantly different in most instances at pre-and post-season. Fatigue and aggression were the symptoms most pervasively high for the Contact and 2+ Concussion groups. Dependent t-test analyses at pre- versus post-season, revealed significant practice effects for the Contact group, not in evidence for controls on ImPACT Visual Motor Speed and Digit Symbol Incidental Recall-Delayed. Overall the results imply the possible presence of lingering neurocognitive and symptomatic concussion sequelae amongst South African final year high school participants of a contact sport. The indications gain potency when understood against the background of (i) Brain Reserve Capacity threshold theory, and (ii) the known risk of Type II error in group MTBI research, that might result in under-emphasis of subtle effects and miscalculation of cost-benefit risks. Clinical implications, and the need for prospective case-based research to ratify the results of this predominantly cross-sectional study, are discussed.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 18:30:18 SAST ]]> "The role of the school and University in SA - future of education" https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:7525 Wed 12 May 2021 18:28:36 SAST ]]> 'Committed, motivated and joyful?'Job satisfaction and organisational commitment of managers at a South African public utility: https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:29667 Wed 12 May 2021 18:19:42 SAST ]]> 'Fetal "rights"?

Treating the interviews as jointly produced narratives, I analysed them by means of a performativity/performance lens. This dual analytic lens focuses on how particular narrative performances are simultaneously shaped by the interview setting and the broader discursive context. The lens was fashioned by synthesising Butler’s theory of performativity with Taylor’s narrative-discursive method. This synthesis (1) allows for Butler’s notion of “performativity” to be supplemented with that of “performance”; (2) provides a concrete analytical strategy in the form of positioning analysis; and (3) draws attention to both the micro politics of the interview conversation and the operation of power on the macro level, including the possibility of making “gender trouble”. The findings of the study suggest that the participants experienced difficulty narrating about male involvement in parenthood decision-making, owing to the taken for granted nature of parenthood for heterosexual adults. This was evident in participants’ sidelining of issues of “deciding” and “planning” and their alternate construal of childbearing as a non-choice, which, significantly served to bolster hetero-patriarchal norms. A central rhetorical tool for accomplishing these purposes was found in the construction of the “sacralised” child. In discursively manoeuvring around the central problematic, the participants ultimately produced a “silence” in the data that repeats the one in the research literature.]]> Tue 15 Aug 2023 16:06:17 SAST ]]> & salt the earth behind you https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42921 Thu 20 May 2021 16:09:53 SAST ]]> "Why Persephone?" investigating the unique position of Persephone as a dying god(dess) offering hope for the afterlife https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3655 Thu 13 May 2021 14:02:25 SAST ]]> "Effulgent in the firmament" the politics of representation and the politics of reception in South Africa's 'poetry of commitment', 1968-1983 https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10987 Thu 13 May 2021 13:05:57 SAST ]]> "Abject dictatorship of the flesh" : corporeality in the fiction of Patrick White https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2166 Thu 13 May 2021 10:12:11 SAST ]]> "The isolation and estimation of low molecular weight N-nitrosamines in biological materials" https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:21176 Thu 13 May 2021 07:32:59 SAST ]]> "I don't think it's the whole story!": a case study of the linguistic face management strategies of dyslexic adults https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2347 Thu 13 May 2021 07:24:59 SAST ]]> "Changing ourselves, changing others" : an analysis of the life stories of participants in a training course for volunteers within a non-governmental organisation in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2985 Thu 13 May 2021 07:22:13 SAST ]]> 'Come back when you are 65, Sir': discrimination in respect of access to social assistance for the elderly https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:29786 Thu 13 May 2021 06:55:36 SAST ]]> "Totally unacceptable" : representations of homosexuality in South African public discourse https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2882 Thu 13 May 2021 06:40:28 SAST ]]> 'Becoming citizens': young people making sense of citizenship on a South African community radio station youth show https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3444 Thu 13 May 2021 06:33:09 SAST ]]> "I felt that I deserved it" : an Investigation into HIV-related PTSD, traumatic life events, and the personal experiences of living with HIV : a mixed-method study https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3211 Thu 13 May 2021 06:11:58 SAST ]]> "Feeling foggy?": an investigation into the self-reported post-concussive symptoms in rugby union players at university level https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2938 Thu 13 May 2021 06:07:27 SAST ]]> "Re-thinking" the Great Trek: a study of the nature and development of the Boer community in the Ohrigstad/Lydenburg area, 1845-1877 https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2541 Thu 13 May 2021 05:57:41 SAST ]]> "Pension funds should be into commodities" https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:7416 Thu 13 May 2021 05:36:24 SAST ]]> 'God is my forest': Xhosa cultural values provide untapped opportunities for conservation https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:37952 Thu 13 May 2021 05:27:33 SAST ]]> 'A search for educational relevance' : an investigation into the teaching of the rural settlement component of the secondary school syllabus with special reference to Venda https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1760 Thu 13 May 2021 05:19:14 SAST ]]> "How did I get this lucky?" : issues of power, intimacy and sexuality in the construction of young women's identities within their heterosexual relationships https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2861 Thu 13 May 2021 05:02:54 SAST ]]> "All vistas close in the unseen" : a study of the transcendent in the fiction of E.
