These brief notes are written in the form of an addendum to Elda Storck's contribution on the recent establishment of a confederation of South African psychoanalytic organisations with agreed minimal standards of training and a code of ethical conduct. The establishment of this confederation is a historic event which is to be greatly welcomed as it signals the gradual normalisation of our psychoanalytic organisations in line with international standards, following the end of Apartheid and our general return to the international fold.

The variety most cultivated and consumed is D. rotundata and it also has the highest market value owing...

The rationale for this article is that the actors in the South African higher education system, and particularly those with the responsibility for leading it, need to be clear about the arguments in the transformation debate and in particular about how these get at what is actually happening within it, and to be-consciously and self-critically aware of their own positions within it and in relation to these developments. Drawing on the work of the Ministerial Committee into Transformation in...

Surprisingly, aside from a contribution made by Jansen (1999a) at the turn of the twentieth century, there has virtually been no debate on the historiography of the curriculum in South Africa.

We have not yet seen an accounting, much less a...

Variations in ozone transmittance with height in the atmosphere for radiation in the 9.6μm absorption band was studied using Goody’s model atmosphere with cubic spline interpolation technique to improve the quality of the curve. The data comprised pressure and temperature at different altitudes (0-22 km) for the months of April and May 2005 at Sagamu, in Ogun State, Nigeria and were obtained from Nigerian Meteorological Agency. Computed results showed that ozone transmittance increased with...

Africa’s agriculture faces varying climate change impacts which mainly worsen production conditions and adversely affect its economies. Adaptations thus need to build the resilience of farming systems. Using “resilient adaptation” as a concept, this study analyses how adaptations at farm and policy/institutional-levels contribute to the resilience of Sub-Saharan African agriculture. The developed tool, “the Resilience Check”, provides socio-economic data which complements existing adaptation...
