Curriculum-making in South Africa: promoting gender equality and empowering women (?)
No full textAuthor cannot archive publisher's version/PDF.The United Nations Millennium Development Goals (2000−2015) are clearly
embedded in South Africa’s education policy documents. However, they are not
adequately infused into the curriculum. This article focuses specifically on the
third Millennium Development Goal (MDG) − promoting gender equality and
empowering women − and the need to place this curriculum content at the
centre and not on the periphery, to achieve its goal. Qualitative document
research was used to explore the extent to which South Africa’s curriculummaking
has promoted gender equality and the empowerment of women during
the promotion of the 2000–2015 MDGs. The findings of this research show
potential intersections of poverty, age and worldviews with gender; a stronger
focus on human rights values; and concrete strategies to combat unhealthy
sexual behaviour. However, the curriculum continues to be saturated with
negative perspectives and binary perceptions of gender. There is also a lack of
attention to the world of work. The assumption underlying this seems to be that
gender equality and the empowerment of women are unattainable or that they are
unimportant. This article concludes by underlining the need for the curriculum to
be a genuine agent of change, which necessitates a new gender discourse in
curriculum-making.http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09540253.2014.946474http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/cgee20/curren

No full textEficácia do Ecotensor SYS orgânico adjuvante, no controle da Sigatoka negra (Mycosphaerella fijiensis) no cultivo de banana (Musa AAB simmonds)
No full textA study was carried out whose purpose was to determine the efficacy of the organic adjuvant (Ecotensor SYS) in mixture with a fungicide for agricultural use, establishing doses for recommendation and evaluating possible effects of phytotoxicity of Ecotensor in banana plants (Musa AAB Simmonds); test carried out for the control of Mycosphaerella fijiensis in plantain cultivation (Musa AAB Simmonds). The tests were carried out in open field in experimental plots of the crop, in the department of Meta, in the municipalities of Granada and Fuente de Oro, each plot had an area of 250 m2 with an average of 10 meters wide by 25 meters long, the total area was 1000 m2, for each trial. A completely randomized experimental design was carried out. The results show that the fungicide applications with Ecotensor provide a better level of disease control compared to the fungicide treatments with hypotensor and fungicide without adjuvant. The application of SYS Ecotensor did not generate damage or symptoms of phytotoxicity on the foliage of banana plants (Musa AAB Simmonds). Therefore, it is concluded that favorable advantages are obtained when using fungicide accompanied by the evaluated organic adjuvant Ecotensor, and that the dose for application recommendation is 1,0 ml/l of wáter.Se realizó un estudio cuyo propósito fue determinar la eficacia del coadyuvante orgánico (Ecotensor SYS) en mezcla con un fungicida de uso agrícola, estableciendo dosis para recomendación y evaluando posibles efectos de fitotoxicidad de Ecotensor en plantas de plátano (Musa AAB Simmonds); ensayo que se realiza para el control de Mycosphaerella fijiensis en el cultivo de plátano (Musa AAB Simmonds). Las pruebas se efectuaron en campo abierto en parcelas experimentales del cultivo, en el departamento de Meta, en los municipios de Granada y Fuente de Oro, cada parcela tuvo un área de 250 m2 con un promedio de 10 metros de ancho por 25 metros de largo, el área total fue 1000 m2, para cada ensayo. Se realizó un diseño experimental completamente al azar. Los resultados evidencian que las aplicaciones de fungicida con Ecotensor, proporcionan un mejor nivel de control de la enfermedad en comparación con los tratamientos de fungicida con Hipotensor y fungicida sin coadyuvante. La aplicación de Ecotensor SYS no generó daños ni síntomas de fitotoxicidad sobre el follaje de las plantas de plátano (Musa AAB Simmonds). Por lo tanto, se concluye que se obtienen ventajas favorables al utilizar fungicida acompañado del coadyuvante orgánico Ecotensor evaluado, y que la dosis para recomendación de aplicación es de 1.0 ml/l de agua.Foi realizado um estudo cujo objetivo foi determinar a eficácia do adjuvante orgânico (Ecotensor SYS) em mistura com um fungicida para uso agrícola, estabelecendo doses para recomendação e avaliando possíveis efeitos de fitotoxicidade do Ecotensor em bananeira (Musa AAB Simmonds); teste realizado para o controle de Mycosphaerella fijiensis no cultivo de banana (Musa AAB Simmonds). Os testes foram realizados em campo aberto em parcelas experimentais da cultura, no departamento de Meta, nos concelhos de Granada e Fuente de Oro, cada parcela tinha uma área de 250 m2 com uma média de 10 metros de largura por 25 metros de comprimento., a área total era de 1000 m2, para cada ensaio. Foi realizado um delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado. Os resultados mostram que as aplicações de fungicida com Ecotensor proporcionam um melhor nível de controle da doença em comparação aos tratamentos com fungicida com hipotensor e fungicida sem adjuvante. A aplicação do Ecotensor SYS não gerou danos ou sintomas de fitotoxicidade na folhagem da bananeira (Musa AAB Simmonds). Portanto, conclui-se que vantagens favoráveis são obtidas ao se utilizar fungicida acompanhado do adjuvante orgânico Ecotensor avaliado, e que a dose para recomendação de aplicação é de 1.0 ml/l de água
Measuring young women’s self-efficacy for healthy eating: initial development and validation of a new questionnaire
No full textHealthy eating in women of childbearing age is critical to the health of future generations. Interventions that increase women’s dietary self-efficacy may be particularly effective at improving healthy eating. However, no validated tool exists to measure self-efficacy for healthy eating in this specific population. We therefore designed a new questionnaire (the 8-Item Self-Efficacy for Healthy Diet Scale) using a think-aloud study and expert panel consultation. We then pilot-tested the 8-Item Self-Efficacy for Healthy Diet Scale in an interviewer-administered survey of 94 women recruited primarily from community settings. The 8-Item Self-Efficacy for Healthy Diet Scale is an 8-item measure of self-efficacy for healthy eating with promising psychometric properties including internal consistency, convergent, criterion and divergent validity
Evaluación del efecto de diferentes concentraciones de fitohormonas en la micropropagación del plátano dominico hartón (Musa AAB Simmonds)
No full textThe effect of the hormonal concentration in the generation of bud in micropropagation of dominico-harton plantain (Musa AAB Simmonds) was evaluated with 10 treatments in a Complete Randomized Design (CRD). Three concentrations of BAP and IAA in a 3x3 factorial arrangement: 0,01; 0,5 and 5 mg/L were tested. The treatments presented significant differences (p< 0.01%) in vitro multiplication phase. The MSDt test showed
that the major number of bud were found with 5mg/L of BAP / 0.5mg/L of AIA and 5mg/L of BAP / 0.01mg/L of AIA combinations. To determine the optimum concentration of AIA from the resultant rank (0,01-0,5 mg/L), an aditional experiment with 6 treatments in a Complete Randomized Design (CRD), varying only AIA concentration was conducted. The concentrations 0.2 and 0,3 mg/L of AIA (p< 0.01%) generated the biggest number of sprouts in the stage of multiplication.Se evaluó el efecto de la concentración hormonal en la generación de brotes al micropropagar plátano dominico hartón (Musa AAB Simmonds) con10 tratamientos en un diseño completamente al azar (DCA). Se probaron tres concentraciones de BAP y AIA en arreglo factorial 3x3: 0.01; 0.5 y 5mg/L. Los tratamientos presentaron diferencias significativas (p< 0.01%)en la etapa de multiplicación in vitro. Los resultados de la prueba de DMSt mostraron que el mayor número de brotes se produjo con las combinaciones 5mg/L de BAP / 0.5mg/L de AIA y 5mg/L de BAP / 0.01mg/L de AIA. Para determinar la óptima concentración de AIA a partir del rango resultante (0.01-0.5mg/L), se realizó un experimento adicional con 6 tratamientos en DCA, variando solamente la concentración de AIA. Las concentraciones 0.2 y 0.3 mg/L de AIA (p< 0.01%) generaron el mayor número de brotes en la etapa de multiplicación
The synthesis of monodisperse alkanes with long chains
No full textThis thesis discusses reasons for the interest in monodisperse long chain alkanes and describes attempts, past and present, to synthesise such molecules. Chapter 1 discusses why the synthesis of such molecules are important and the objectives of this project. Chapter 2 reviews the methods previous groups have devised to prepare pure samples of long chain alkanes. In particular, work carried out by Whiting et al. at Bristol, whose scheme formed the basis of the early work in Durham. Chapter 3 describes the work in Durham and improvements which were made to Whiting's method, allowing the synthesis of longer chain lengths and greater quantities of materials to be achieved. Chapter 4 provides a summary of the practical work carried out by the author. Chapter 5 gives experimental details of the work described in Chapter 4
