Criminal and civil aspects of bribery

- Leslie, Andrew Brian

  • Authors: Leslie, Andrew Brian
  • Date: 1988
  • Subjects: Bribery
  • Language: English
  • Type: Thesis , Masters , LLM
  • Identifier: vital:3701 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1004607
  • Description: The purpose of this work is to identify legal action which may be taken against parties to bribery in the fields of criminal and civil law. In particular, the element of mens rea is investigated with regard to criminal corruption. On the civil side, the principal, who has been the victim of bribery, has various remedies against the parties to the bribe. These remedies are analysed with special reference to the influence of English law on the South African law in this field. The options open to the principal, where his agent has made a secret profit which does not amount to bribery, are also considered.

Defined by wine : a study of sacramentalism in George Herbertʾs poetry

- Goddard, Kevin Graham

  • Authors: Goddard, Kevin Graham
  • Date: 1988
  • Subjects: Herbert, George, 1593-1633 -- Criticism and interpretation , Christian poetry, English -- History and criticism
  • Language: English
  • Type: text , Thesis , Masters , MA

  • Description: This dissertation proposes that George Herbertʾs poetry may profitably be understood as a sacramental means by which the divine is made present in temporal existence. In order to support this claim, the relation between sacramental symbolism and literary symbolism, particularly Herbertʾs, is examined from a number of perspectives. The symbolic meanings suggested by Herbertʾs title (The Temple), and their relation to sacramentalism are considered in the opening chapter. This includes a consideration of some of the background to the analogical thinking prevalent in both the seventeenth-century and Herbert. It is followed in the second chapter by an examination of some of the modern theories about how literary symbolism may relate to sacramental symbolism, a discussion which is followed by a consideration of this dissertation's argument in relation to modern scholarship. The chapter ends with a reading of ʺThe Flowerʺ. The third chapter discusses the poet's attempt to imitate the divine by ʺcopyingʺ both Scripture and Nature, and this includes a consideration of the allegorical and hieroglyphic modes of thought prevalent in the poems. The concern with imitation encourages an examination of the poet's frequent invitation for God actually to assume the poet's role, and this is the subject of the fourth chapter. The argument suggests that the poet's attempt to ʺsacrificeʺ his own writing may be seen in his concern with corporate imagery and corporate (impersonal) structures. The five ʺAfflictionʺ poems are examined as examples of the first, while structures such as synecdoche and metonymy are examined as examples of the second. The final chapter considers aspects of narrative time in the poems, particularly the sense often evoked of the eternal being imminent in the present. This involves a consideration of both liturgical imagery, and what may be called liturgical structures as they can be seen to operate in the poems. Particular examples of the latter are the relation between the liturgical anamnesis and the poems, as well as certain narrative structures that may be called ʺachronisticʺ.

Dilution of topical corticosteroid formulations

- Haigh, John M

  • Authors: Haigh, John M
  • Date: 1988

  • Identifier: vital:6377 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1006295
  • Description: It has been a long-held concern of a number of people working in this field that some dermatologists prescribing a 1:10 dilution of a corticosteroid preparation such as Dermovate cream believe that the final product will be one tenth as efficacious and also produce one tenth of the side effects as the undiluted formulation. This is certainly not the case. Dermovate falls into the very potent category of topical corticosteroid preparations (as defined in the United Kingdom Monthly Index of Medical Specialities) and a 1:10 dilution falls into the potent category.

Discussing the evidence : small group work in the history class

- Robinson, Andrew Meredith Lewin

  • Authors: Robinson, Andrew Meredith Lewin
  • Date: 1988
  • Subjects: History -- Study and teaching (Secondary) Group work in education
  • Language: English
  • Type: Thesis , Masters , MEd
  • Identifier: vital:1863 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1004588
  • Description: This is a small-scale research study on the discovery method of teaching history through the medium of small-group discussion. The study begins with a brief outline of the theoretical background to these topics, as well as of some of the extant research in the field. The class selected for the study is the standard seven class of a boys' high school. After the researcher has instructed the whole standard in an historical area which is unfamiliar to the pupils, twelve groups of three each are selected and withdrawn from the rest of the class, one group at a time. These thirty-six pupils become the "experimental" group; the rest of the pupils become the "control" group . The groups are selected according to different intellectual criteria and presented with stimulus material of one of three kinds, which is intended to aid them in their discourse. Each group is given the same set of three questions to discuss and, without further assistance by the researcher, the discussion takes place. This is recorded on audio-tape. After all the group discussions have been recorded, an assessment test is given to the whole standard, both experimental and control pupils. At the end of the school term a compulsory examination question is inserted in the history examination. The statistical data forthcoming from these assessments are correlated and the results analysed. Meanwhile, transcripts of all the group discussions have been made and these are analysed on a qualitative basis in terms of the groups' intellectual composition and according to the type of stimulus material used, and the results are recorded. The concept of "leaderless" groups is briefly discussed in the light of the dealings of the various groups in the study. The researcher finally feels justified in concluding that small groups are an ideal medium for the handling of evidence- based learning in history. He also has certain observations to make on the performance of groups of mixed (as opposed to homogeneous) ability as well as on the success of certain types of stimulus material towards initiating profitable discussion.

  • Description: The igneous rocks which comprise the Etendeka Formation in northwestern Namibia cover an area of 78 000 km² and consist dominantly of interbedded basalts and quartz latites, with minor latites. They are spatially associated with, and intruded by, two suites of dolerites. The rocks of the Etendeka Formation are included in the Karoo Igneous Province but differ from most other Karoo volcanics with respect to their younger age (Cretaceous) and aspects of their mineralogy and geochemistry.

Effects of vitamin A on tumour and untransformed cells

  • Description: Vitamin A and its chemical analogues (retinoids) are known to play a role in the maintenance and differentiation of epithelial tissue. Retinoids have been shown to inhibit carcinogenesis in a number of tissues in experimental animals and to inhibit the growth of various untransformed and cancer cell lines in vitro. This study investigated the effect of retinyl acetate supplemented at concentrations of 1 μM, 5 μM, 10 μM and 100 μM to in vitro cultured untransformed LLCMK cells, and transformed BL-6 melanoma and human hepatoma cell lines. A small but non-significant effect of vitamin A addition on the growth of the untransformed cells was observed, while substantial inhibition of proliferation of the two tumour cell lines was found. At the cytotoxic level of 100 μM supplemented vitamin A, all three cell lines showed marked inhibition of growth. This led to an electron microscopy study to examine the ultrastructural effect of the vitamin A addition. At the low non-toxic levels of vitamin A addition (1 - 10 μM), no ultrastructural changes were observed in the untransformed cells. However, at a level of 5 μM and 10 μM vitamin A addition in the tumour cells, an increase in the size of suspected lipid droplets was observed. At the cytotoxic level of 100 μM supplemented vitamin A, large lipid droplets were very apparent, as was much cellular degeneration. This effect was more marked in the tumour cells than in the untransformed cells. The lipid nature of the droplets was confirmed by using the lipid stain, Sudan IV. In order to investigate the effect of added vitamin A at the cell surface level, an ELISA system was used to quantify the level of the cell surface glycoprotein, fibronectin, in the culture media. Vitamin A plays an important role in the production of mature fibronectin by participating in the glycosylation of the molecule. This study showed no major effect of added vitamin A on the release of fibronectin into the culture media. This did not, however, exclude the possibility that the vitamin A was involved in the production and enhanced binding of fibronectin to the cell surface, and was possibly also exerting an effect on the availability of fibronectin receptors. Further studies would, however, be required to substantiate such effects of vitamin A supplementation. No single mechanism of action of vitamin A on tumour cell growth inhibition was identified, but the possibility that at least two mechanisms exist, was suggested
