Women, gender and South Africa’s foreign policy: the need for an inclusive approach to foreign policy decision-making
No full textThe EU–South Africa Strategic Partnership: From bilateral to multilateral forums and the strategic value for South Africa
No full textStrategic partnerships are seen as a means of elevating bilateral relations between two countries, or in the case of the European Union (EU), relations between an intergovernmental organisation and its 10 identified strategic partners. There is a growing body of analysis on the value of these strategic partnerships for the two partner states, yet just what role this partnership has within wider multilateral forums is an area for further discussion. This article explores the role that the EU–South Africa Strategic Partnership plays in shaping engagement between the bilateral partners in multilateral contexts. In reviewing the partnership over the course of its first decade, the article argues that South Africa has increasingly acknowledged its potential value. However, further interrogation on how to manage the complex intersection between bilateral and multilateral relations is called for if the strategic partnership is to be used to optimal effect as a tool of foreign policy. © 2017 The South African Institute of International Affairs

Watching the watchers: oversight and the democratization of South Africa’s foreign policy
No full textWriting masters and accountants in England – a study of occupation, status and ambition in the early modern period
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to address the lack of knowledge of the accounting occupational group in England prior to the formation of professional accounting bodies. It does so by focusing on attempts made by the occupational group of writing masters and accountants to establish a recognisable persona in the public domain, in England, during the seventeenth and eighteenth century, and to enhance that identity by behaving in a manner designed to convince the public of the professionalism associated with themselves and their work. The study is based principally on early accounting treatises and secondary sources drawn from beyond the accounting literature. Notions of identity, credentialism and jurisdiction are employed to help understand and evaluate the occupational history of writing masters and accountants. It is shown that writing masters and accountants emerged as specialist pedagogues providing expert business knowledge required in the counting houses of entities which flourished during a period of rapid commercial expansion in mercantilist Britain. Their demise as an occupational group may be attributed to a range of factors amongst which an emphasis on personal identity, the neglect of group identity and derogation of the writing craft were most important.history ; accountants ; bookkeepers

Alzheimer’s Disease: A Quantitative Approach to Describing Its Natural History
No full textCOLIN L. MASTERS – zu Gast am NAR: Prof. Colin L. Masters, Leiter der Abteilung für Neurodegeneration an dem The Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health (Melbourne, Australien) und einer der weltweit führenden Experten für neurodegenerative Erkrankungen, ist am 20. März 2017 um 13 Uhr zu Gast am Netzwerk Alternsforschung.
Seit über 30 Jahren widmet sich der Neurowissenschaftler der Erforschung von Alzheimer, Creutzfeldt-Jakob-, Kuru- und anderen Erkrankungen. In Zusammenarbeit mit Prof. Konrad Beyreuther war es ihm gelungen, den Metabolismus und die Rolle der Beta-Amyloid-Plaques in der Entstehung der Alzheimer Krankheit aufzudecken
The evolution of the Cercopithecini: a (post)modern synthesis
No full textThe Cercopithecini, or African guenon monkeys, are one of the most diverse clades of living primates, and comprise the most species-rich clade of Catarrhini. Species identity is announced by flamboyant coloration of the facial and genital regions and, more cryptically, by vigorous chromosomal rearrangements among taxa. Beneath the skin, however, these animals are skeletally conservative between congeneric species. The guenons clearly demonstrate that morphological, cytogenetic, and reproductive differentiation proceed at different rates during speciation. We review diverse kinds of data in the effort to understand this conundru
An exploration of the construct of Masters level clinical practice
No full textThis study aimed to explore the construct of Masters level clinical practice. A mixed methods approach converging quantitative and qualitative data was undertaken.
Consensus of behaviours indicative of the construct was explored through a quantitative Delphi study. Participants represented a total population sample of Masters course tutors in healthcare (n = 48). Round 1 requested behaviours indicative of the construct. Quantitative content analysis informed the behaviours explored in round 2, where participants rated their relative importance. Round 3 asked participants to rank the behaviours in order of importance. Descriptive and inferential analysis enabled interpretation of consensus.
The construct was also explored through an in-depth qualitative case study, using semi-structured interviews and participant observation. Purposive sampling selected the `case' of a manipulative physiotherapy course and the participants for the study. Analytic categories were derived from the data using a constant comparative process until saturation of the data were achieved. Theoretical propositions to identify the components of the construct were developed.
The response rate for the Delphi study was very good (79.1%, 77.1% and 70.8% for rounds 1-3 respectively). Rounds 1 and 2 achieved good consensus enabling 21 agreed 'important' behaviours to be taken into round 3. The ranking process in round 3 afforded consensus overall, but also highlighted some differences between professions regarding the prioritisation of components of the construct. There was good convergence of the data with the case study, with clinical reasoning and knowledge identified as the most important components of the construct.
The study has identified generic components of the construct of Masters level clinical practice. In addition specific components and their prioritisation for the speciality of manipulative physiotherapy are identified. Development of this work by exploring several case studies to enable further consideration of professions and specialities through analytic generalisation would be beneficial
