- Description: Molecular chaperones regulate cellular proteostasis. They control protein conformation and prevent misfolding and aggregation under both normal and stressful environments, ultimately resulting in cell survival. The project aimed to understand the role of the HSP70 – HSP90 Organizing Protein (Hop/STIP1) in the survival of stressed cells and the function of the stress-responsive transcription factor, Heat Shock Factor 1 (HSF1). HSF1 protein levels were significantly reduced in Hop-depleted HEK293T cells compared to controls by ELISA, western blot, and mass spectrometry. HSF1 transcriptional activity at the HSP70 promoter, and binding of a biotinylated HSE oligonucleotide under basal conditions were significantly reduced, consistent with the reduced levels of HSF1. In response to heat shock, HSF1 levels in Hop-depleted cells increased to that of controls, but there was still significantly lowerHSF1 transcriptional activity and HSE binding. Hop-depleted HEK293T cells were more sensitive than controls to the HSF1 inhibitor KRIBB11 and showed reduced short-term and long-term proliferation. Unlike the HSP90 inhibitor 17-DMAG, which had no effect, the HSP70 inhibitor JG98, further decreased the levels of HSF1 in Hop-depleted cells, suggesting a role for HSP70 in the Hop-mediated effects. There was punctate nuclear staining for HSF1 in Hop-depleted cells under both basal and heat shock conditions, as well as reduced nuclear localization and increased cytoplasmic accumulation of HSF1 in response to heat shock. Hop and HSF1 colocalized in cells, and HSF1 could be isolated in complex with Hop and HSP70. Loss of Hop reduced HSF1 in HSP70complexes but did not affect HSF1 abundance in HSP90 complexes. Hop-depleted cells showed reduced short-term and long-term survival compared to controls, an effect that was potentiated by the JG98 HSP70 inhibitor. Taken together, these data suggest that Hop regulation of HSF1activity is via a mechanism involving reductions in HSP70 interaction, as well as reduced nuclear localization, and DNA binding, and is consistent with reduced cellular fitness under basal and stress conditions. , Thesis (PhD) -- Faculty of Science, Biochemistry and Microbiology, 2020

- Description: Because work is such a tremendous potential source of meaning in an individual’s life, techniques which turn career choice into technical talent matching are inadequate. The individual’s search for authentic meaning needs to be the focus of career counselling, but few approaches have been able to addressed this relationship between working and living. Major developments in career theory are reviewed to highlight the distinction between the more technical logical positivist and the phenomenological approaches. Super’s Career- Development Assessment and Counselling (C-DAC) model is described in detail as it is the first significant attempt to move beyond the technical approaches by incorporating developmental theory into career counselling and by stressing the role of counsellee readiness to use the information provided. However, especially in South Africa, any test-based approach to career counselling runs the risk of shifting the locus of control from the counsellee to the counsellor, so an autobiographical non-test approach, the life-line, is introduced to assist counsellees in their search for personal meaning without running the risks associated with test-based assessments. The life-line helps to contextualise the choice of work within the counsellee’s subjective life experience and turns career counselling into a shared search for a range of personal meanings rather than the provision, by the counsellor, of a limiting interpretation. Three case studies are presented to demonstrate the use of the life-line, and the conclusions arrived at are shown to be essentially1 similar to conclusions obtained from using the C-DAC battery. The advantages and limitations of the life-line are discussed and its ability to combat problems associated with school based career counselling is outlined as well as its usefulness with mid-life career changers, in cross-cultural contexts, and in group counselling. , Thesis (MA) -- Faculty of Humanities, Psychology, 1990

Larval assemblages in intertidal habitats: the use of artificial and natural microhabitats

- Description: Coastal habitats, and more specifically, intertidal habitats, host a unique range of biodiversity and are key areas for many fish and invertebrate species across one or more of their life stages. This is due to the provision of microhabitats which offer an escape from harsh environmental stressors and predation as well as increased food supply, hence increasing chances of survival. Due to the growing human population however, coastal habitats are being replaced by artificial structures (jetties, seawalls, piers, breakwaters) which partially or heavily fragment the natural environment through urbanisation-related expansion processes. These coastal infrastructures also have different physical properties from the natural environment and therefore tend to support different biological assemblages and can potentially alter the existing biodiversity and its functionality. The overall aim of this project was therefore to evaluate the use of artificial and natural intertidal microhabitats by fish and invertebrate larvae along the South African, Eastern Cape coastline. As independent case studies, fieldwork was conducted at an urban (Port Alfred Marina) and rocky shore (Kenton-on-Sea) site. Within each of these study sites, two replicated sheltered subsites were selected, which represented microhabitats. Samples were collected from these replicated microhabitats from September 2019 to February 2020 using light traps which targeted phototactic larval species, as well as a portable pump, for photo-neutral/negative taxa. All samples were preserved onsite in 99% ethanol and specimens were later counted and identified in the laboratory to the lowest possible taxonomic level using a stereomicroscope. Additionally, DNA barcoding was conducted on selected larval taxa for verification of morphological identification as well as contributing to the field of larval taxonomy through development of public database records. The barcoding technique was effective in positively identifying 96% and 58% of fish and invertebrate larvae sampled, respectively (overall identification success of 86%), to either family, genus or species level. Results of microhabitat use indicate higher larval abundances associated with artificial structures as compared to natural structures, with significant differences between the selected microhabitats within the rocky shores and the marina respectively, across months. High numbers of several early stage taxa were observed within the selected microhabitats in the marina, with Pinnotheres sp. (zoea) (Family: Pinnotheridae) being the most abundant invertebrate larval taxon collected at the artificial microhabitats of jetties and vertical walls. Fish larvae of Omobranchus woodi (preflexion) and Etrumeus whiteheadi (postflexion) were the most dominant at the selected artificial microhabitats within the marina. The DNA barcoding tool used in the current study to verify morphological identification proved to be instrumental in the accuracy of the reliable data collection of the early life stages present in these habitats. These results suggest that artificial structures may provide refugia for the vulnerable very early life stages of species and, in turn, play a potential facilitative role in reproductive and population connectivity which could result in replenishment of natural populations. It is therefore possible that these urban habitats could be considered as hubs for maintenance of coastal biodiversity. , Thesis (MSc) -- Faculty of Science, Zoology and Entomology, 2022

- Description: This introduction and ensuing essay are something in the nature of a personal confession. Deemed as such what I have written concerning Samuel Palmer has not, in any way, been written as an exercise, but rather for the purpose of self-edification. This I will elaborate upon while disclosing my motive for writing on Palmer. Palmer's works - when I first saw them - were something of a revelation. They seemed the alpha and omega of my own artistic endeavour. Perhaps the term which best describes the euphoria I felt is 1deja vu1, because although it describes a connectedness of sorts, the words have in their sound an exotic ring. There is in it an implied equivocation - and equivocality best describes my understanding of Samuel Palmer at that juncture. This euphoria I felt dimmed with the realisation that by purportedly claiming, as I was, Samuel Palmer's visionary landscapes as my goal I was treading on sacred ground; I'd arrived, as it were, in another's Paradise. The effects of this upon my own creativity were completely negative. Worse still, I lacked the necessary means to extricate myself from Palmer's paradisiacal visions. His influence was incapacitating and convoluting my own growth. It was obvious then that I had to be rid of Samuel Palmer. , Thesis (MA) -- Faculty of Humanities, Fine Art, 1985

His influence was incapacitating and convoluting my own growth. It was obvious then that I had to be rid of Samuel Palmer. , Thesis (MA) -- Faculty of Humanities, Fine Art, 1985
