Ongoing climate change is leading to significant range shifts in many taxa. Although climate-induced spatiotemporal dynamics have subtle implications for prioritization of translocation release areas, the terminology underlying current guidelines for conservation translocation remains focused on a dichotomy between ‘reintroductions’ within the indigenous range and ‘assisted colonisations’ anywhere else. We here propose a dispersal barrier-based framework for categorizing release areas...

This article focuses on intercultural actor training at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in 2005/2006; it argues for a studio curriculum theory and praxis as one of ‘Borrowing on our own terms’. To achieve this, the following areas are explored: (a) the context of the city (noting the apartheid and colonial past); (b) South African Township political theatre as informing a core approach to acting pedagogy; (c) the focus on a concept-driven curriculum which aims to interact...

Although an Anglo-Saxon university, the University of Buea is set apart by the practice and teaching of French in order to match with the individual and official bilingualism promoted by Cameroon.However, the French which is provided to non-native French speaking students in particular does not reflect endogenous standards.Fact that often confuses and discourages learners in the learning process.In other words, this study seeks to show that the extremely standardize variety prescribed for...

Web design was introduced into the Computer Applications Technology (CAT) curriculum in South Africa at Grade 11 level in 2013, and Grade 12 in 2014. This paper reports on a study determining what value learners and educators saw in using web design and Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML). The paper comprises studies undertaken by 17 honours students in 2013 and 2014 as part of a research report module, and followed a survey research design in which 18 educators were interviewed and 319...

Introduction Two year Medical Physics (MP) Internships (practical clinical training) are established in South Africa (SA), and are a requirement prior to registration, as a MP, with the Health Professions Council of SA (HPCSA). Over the past decade there has been an increasing demand for registered MPs in SA, thus the number of people in available academic programs has increased. Filling of state funded internship posts has declined and some posts have been scrapped. Recently there is...

In resource-rich settings, bedside ultrasound has rapidly evolved to be a crucial part of emergency centre practice and a growing part of critical care practice. This portable and affordable technology may be even more valuable in resource-limited environments where other imaging modalities are inaccessible, but the optimal amount of training required to achieve competency in bedside ultrasound is largely unknown. We sought to evaluate the feasibility of implementation of a mixed-modality...

Introduction Ionising radiation is an unseen, yet potentially harmful, modality widely used in diagnostic and therapeutic medical procedures. There have been ongoing improvements in imaging technology with an associated reduction in radiation exposures required for imaging. There has however also been an increase in patient load and procedures have become more complex and of longer duration. This consequently increases radiation exposure to operators. It is thus imperative to improve...

Aim: To determine whether the type of material used to seal the cochlea after round window cochlear implantation influences delayed hearing loss. Background: Cochlear implants are now prescribed to patients with residual, low-frequency hearing. This hearing—which provides perceptual benefits for the implanted ear—is frequently lost for unknown reasons weeks to months after surgery in a proportion of patients. A post-surgical change in cochlear mechanics, related to the material used to seal...

Language learning strategies (LLSs) have been the focus of an enormous number of foreign language studies. However, many researches in this field have not been thoroughly examined especially in relation to the writing skill. For this reason, the current study investigates Strategy Based Instruction (SBI) implementation in the writing skill, particularly for students of English at the Intensive Language Teaching Center of Mostaganem University, Algeria, to enable them find out which...

Food education is a component of health education which plays an important role in the development of citizenship and human resources of a country (Jourdan, 2010). School is a vital element in implementing some positive behavior and making students drop out other dangerous behaviors. Today educating students to healthy nutrition allows them to develop the abilities to act, choose, decide on an autonomous and responsible manner and capacity face reality and deal with conflict (Jourdan, 2010)....

Female university students are at risk for weight gain and use of inappropriate weight-loss strategies. By gaining a greater understanding of the weight-loss strategies used by and weight management related characteristics of these students, effective weight management interventions for this vulnerable group can be developed.Two hundred and fifty female students from South Africa universities, aged 18-25 years, participated in this cross-sectional study; 162 attempted weight loss during the...
