Randfigure as middels vir sosiale kommentaar in enkele werke van Pieter-Dirk Uys en Nataniel
No full textThesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2022.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigates Pieter-Dirk Uys and Nataniël as two theatre practitioners that used
characteristics of satire, cabaret, and the creation of marginalised characters to deliver social
and political commentary on apartheid. Satire, comedy, and certain characteristics of cabaret
are used as a point of departure for the theoretical framework of this study to further analyse
four specific plays created by Pieter-Dirk Uys and Nataniël. Farce About Uys and Adapt or
Dye are discussed with regards to Pieter-Dirk Uys’s use of satire, cabaret, and the creation of
marginalised characters to protest apartheid. A discussion of Nataniëls plays, Dancing with
John and White Soul, are discussed with reference to Nataniël’s use of satire, cabaret, and the
creation of marginalised characters to protest apartheid. The thesis concludes that both PieterDirk Uys and Nataniël used satire and cabaret to protest apartheid and further that in each of
the four aforementioned plays both Pieter-Dirk Uys and Nataniël created marginalised
characters to protest social and political issues during apartheid.AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die studie ondersoek Pieter-Dirk Uys en Nataniël se gebruik van satire, kabaret en die skepping
van gemarginaliseerde karakters om sosiale en politieke kommentaar op apartheid te lewer.
Satire, komedie en die eienskappe van kabaret word as ‘n teoretiese raamwerk gebruik om die
gekose werke van Pieter-Dirk Uys en Nataniël in daaropvolgende afdelings te bespreek.
Vervolgens word Pieter-Dirk Uys se gebruik van satire, kabaret en sy gebruik van
gemarginaliseerde karakters in twee onderskeidelike toneelstukke, Farce About Uys en Adapt
or Dye bespreek. Nataniël se gebruik van satire en kabaret, asook sy skepping van
gemarginaliseerde karakters in twee van sy toneelstukke, Dancing with John en White Soul
volg die bespreking van Uys se werk op. Ten slotte bevind die tesis dat Pieter-Dirk Uys en
Nataniël satire en kabaret gebruik het om apartheid te protesteer, In elk van die vier
toneelstukke wat bespreek is, is gemarginaliseerde karakters gebruik om verdere sosiale en
politieke kwessies van apartheid te protesteer.Master
Letter from A. C. Van Raalte to Dirk Van Raalte
No full textRev. Albertus C. Van Raalte wrote this letter to his son, Dirk, who is serving in the Civil War and working in a hospital. The letter does not indicate where Dirk is stationed. Van Raalte advises his son to observe the patients carefully and to learn as much as he can about illnesses and medicine as Van Raalte himself has done. Van Raalte says, You know that I am sort of a half-doctor and therefore can give you good counsel.https://digitalcommons.hope.edu/vrp_1860s/1128/thumbnail.jp
Die lewe en werk van Dirk Meerkotter
No full textDissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 1987.Daar is met die samestelling en skryf van hierdie hoofstuk gepoog om ‘n oorsigtelike beeld daar te stel van Dirk Meerkotter. Eerstens word daar samevattende gegewens verskaf i.v.m. sy huislike milieu, veral gemik op sy ouers en ouerhuis. Die Meerkotterstamboom wat daarna volg, gee ‘n interessante gesinsbeeld.
Tweedens volg ‘n kort, noodsaaklike paragraaf oor die geografiese milieu van Dirk Meerkotter. Vir die sensitiewe gees van veral die kunstenaar, sal die gegewens later in die bespreking uitkristalliseer as van besonder vormende waarde. Laasgenoemde het sy oorsprong gehad in jeugindrukke tydens die verblyf op verskillende plekke, maar veral Johannesburg en omgewing.
Laastens volg ‘n skematiese voorstelling in die vorm van n tydlyn. Hier kan dan met die ontvouing daarvan gesien word datums, Meerkotter se ouderdom op verskillende stadiums van sy ontwikkeling, woonplekke, skoolopleiding, studentejare, uitstallings, reise oorsee en ander belangrike gebeurtenisse in sy lewe. Daar word ook n aanduiding gegee van 'n periode-indeling van sy stylontwikkeling.Visual ArtsMAUnrestricte
Letter from Dirk J. Van Bommel to Laurence L. Doggett (March 10, 1916)
No full textA letter from Dirk J. Van Bommel to Laurence L. Doggett, dated March 10, 1916. In a very straight forward letter, Van Bommel Tells of all the difficulties that he is having getting anything done as the Turkish Government did not allow him to do anything of importance. He also talks about the Armenian Genocide.Dirk J. Van Bommel graduated from Springfield College in 1911. After graduation, he worked as a secretary for the International Committee in Constantinople. In 1920, Springfield College awarded him an honorary Master of Humanics. Two years later, Van Bommel was hired as secretary to the National Council in Turkey. He died on November 9, 1953

Greenland ice sheet meltwater runoff from the Kangerlussuaq and Isunnguata Sermia catchments using observation-based surface energy balance modeling (2009-2019)
No full textBackground:
This readme provides limited metadata for the Greenland ice sheet meltwater runoff from the Kangerlussuaq / Watson River and Isunnguata Sermia catchments in southwest Greenland. A more complete description of this product can be found in: Van As D, Bech Mikkelsen A, Holtegaard Nielsen M, Box JE, Claesson Liljedahl L, Lindbäck K, Pitcher L and Hasholt B (2017) Hypsometric amplification and routing moderation of Greenland ice sheet meltwater release. The Cryosphere, 11, 1371-1386 (doi:10.5194/tc-11-1371-2017).
Data format:
Data are provided in ASCII format.
File naming:
The file names indicate the calculated variable "GIS (Greenland ice sheet) surface runoff", the catchment ("WR" for Kangerlussuaq / Watson River and "IS" for Isunnguata Sermia), the time period in years, and the temporal resolution of the data ("hourly" and "daily").
Column information of data files at "hourly" temporal resolution:
Column 1 - Year
Column 2 - Day of year
Column 3 - Hour of day (UTC)
Column 4 - Total of meltwater generated at the ice sheet surface within the catchment per reported time unit (units: cubic meters)
Column 5 - Total of meltwater exiting the glacier front per reported time unit, i.e. column 4 including routing delay (units: cubic meters)
Column information of data files at "daily" temporal resolution:
Identical to the file structure detailed above, but without column 3.
Meltwater calculation:
Measurements by the on-ice KAN_L, KAN_M and KAN_U weather stations interpolated into 100-m elevation bins along with calibrated MOD10A1 surface albedo data, feeding into a surface energy balance model calculating meltwater runoff. Surface albedo per elevation bin in the Isunnguata Sermia catchment is set equal to the values of the Kangerlussuaq / Watson River ice sheet catchment.

The Cryosphere, 11, 1371-1386 (doi:10.5194/tc-11-1371-2017).
Catchment delineation:
Based on surface and bedrock digital elevation models. Lindbäck K, Pettersson R, Hubbard AL, Doyle SH, Van As D, Mikkelsen AB and Fitzpatrick AA (2015) Subglacial water drainage, storage, and piracy beneath the Greenland Ice Sheet. Geophysical Research Letters, 42 (18), 7606-7614 (doi:10.1002/2015GL065393).
Elevation bins:
Determined using the Greenland Mapping Project (GIMP) digital elevation model vertically transformed to the EGM96 geoid.
Routing delays:
Determined as a function of ice sheet surface elevation by tuning a delay-per-elevation-bin function for optimal agreement with Watson River discharge measurements. The same delay function is applied to - but not validated for - the Isunnguata Sermia catchment for which few discharge measurements exist.

Funding information:
The runoff data were produced for the Greenland Analogue Project (GAP) funded by SKB (2008-2020), Posiva Oy (2008-2013) and NWMO (2008-2013). The weather stations central to this calculation feed data into the Programme for Monitoring of the Greenland Ice Sheet (PROMICE).
Terms of use:
If the data are presented or used to support results of any kind, please inform us, and include the acknowledgement "Greenland ice sheet runoff was calculated for the Greenland Analogue Project (GAP) in collaboration with the Programme for Monitoring of the Greenland Ice Sheet (PROMICE)".
