Ingrid Ylva och tornet i Bjälbo
No full textThe article discusses the background to the erection of the huge church tower in Bjälbo, Östergötland, Sweden. It also focuses on medieval women as founders of churches. The author maintains that new dendrochronological dating of the tower could mean that founder of this building piece was not one of the male members of the important Bjälbo dynasty, but Ingrid Ylva the mother of Birger Jarl
Ingrid Winterbach: Novelist (Interview)
No full textWinner of the prestigious Hertzog Prize for Literature for Niggie (2002)Ingrid Winterbach is the author of eight novels, three of which have been translated into English and two into Dutch. The translation of her fourth novel, Karolina Ferreira (1993) as The Elusive Moth (2005), and subsequently, Niggie as To Hell with Cronjé (2007) and Die boek van toeval en toeverlaat (2006) as The Book of Happenstance (2008), have brought this author to the attention of a wider South African readership

No full textGlobal climate change is causing more extreme droughts, as well as subtler chronic changes in precipitation patterns. Both chronic and extreme precipitation change can alter ecosystem structure and function, and these alterations may affect how systems respond to future extreme climatic events. Understanding how legacies of various past precipitation changes may alter the effects of future extreme droughts will be important for predicting ecosystem responses to climate change. We investigated how ecological legacies of experimentally-imposed chronic and extreme precipitation changes altered the impact of an extreme drought on an economically-important grassland ecosystem.Top Scholars for University-Wide Graduate Programs
Does convective dialysis therapy applied daily approach renal blood purification?
No full textDoes convective dialysis therapy applied daily approach renal blood purification? Outcome studies in dialysis have generally failed to show an impact of changes in membrane flux or bio-compatibility, and only dose increases up to a certain level have been shown to improve survival significantly. However, to see an effect of a potentially improved dialysis treatment, all available factors that make dialysis more physiological may need to be combined. A membrane that mimics the glomerular basement membrane in being hemocompatible, having a high hydraulic permeability and a generous sieving, yet not leading to albumin loss could be used. The dialysis fluid composition could be individualized, and the quality and volume appropriate for the selected application. The new system of online-prepared ultrapure dialysis fluid and sterile infusion solutions, as integral parts of the treatment, are cost effective and labor saving as well as biocompatible. Ideally, we should select a blood purification method that covers the same range of solutes as the kidney. Convection is equally effective for all solutes that can pass through the membrane, and the corresponding renal therapy is hemofiltration. For enhanced small solute removal, convection can be combined with diffusion as in hemodiafiltration, which has the potential to achieve the largest solute removal over a wide molecular weight spectrum among all forms of dialysis. Finally, the dialysis treatment should be applied as often as is practically possible–preferably daily–in order to reduce the peaks caused by uremic toxins, the exposure to acidosis and alkalosis, and the burden on the cardiovascular system by overhydration. While the designed therapy is already technically feasible today, a positive result from outcome studies will be needed to bring about the political and economic decisions required to change conventional dialysis into a treatment approaching true renal blood purification
