Pastorale begeleiding aan die persoon met dissosiatiewe identiteitsversteuring
No full textA person with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is someone who was exposed to intense trauma impacting that person’s life negatively at various levels. Although dissociative identity disorder is described as a mental disorder in the DSM-IV, there are still unresolved issues regarding the phenomenon. Assistance should take place with care and sensitivity in order to guide the person with dissociative identity disorder taking into consideration integral dimensions of personal humanity. It is submitted that guidance in this respect can therefore not be unilaterally psychological or pastoral by nature. Effective assistance to the person implies an approach where different disciplines are part of a multidisciplinary support team. The question this article explores is how pastoral counselling may contribute to this approach in guidance of the person with dissociative identity disorder. A case study is discussed in which the conclusion is made that pastoral care has an effective role in the healing process of the person with dissociative identity disorder

Meditasie: Bybelgefundeerd of ’n vermenging van gelowe? ’n Pastorale ondersoek
No full textMeditation: Bible based or a mix of religion? A Pastoral investigation. The influence of other religions on the Christian community was a perceptible trend that cannot be ignored in the realm of spirituality. Meditation was one such example and consequently requires thoughtful investigation. Some Christians found meditation a valuable spiritual discipline that aids their spiritual growth but, in my opinion, also opened up the door for them to become victims of a subtle spiritual deception. The question posed was: how can Christians distinguish between the many and often-conflicting views on meditation found in easily accessible literature? A need therefore exists to define meditation as a possible Christian spiritual expression by distinguishing its uniqueness from the influences of other non-Christian religions and popular opinion
Blue collar apprentices and bullying: experiences of bullying and its relation to resilience, satisfaction and self-rated health
No full textWorkplace bullying has been acknowledged as an occupational health and safety issue in Australia and internationally. However, the phenomenon of bullying among construction industry apprentices, particularly in relation to work satisfaction, life satisfaction and self-rated health, is an under-examined area. Using a mixed-methods approach, two preliminary studies were therefore conducted to examine bullying among apprentices. Study one highlights the incidence of bullying and notes that approximately a third of apprentices had personal experiences of bullying. Study two extends this research by examining the relationship between bullying, life satisfaction, work satisfaction, study satisfaction and self-rated health. An [analysis of variance] ANOVA indicated that for those apprentices who had experienced bullying there was a significant relationship with decreased life satisfaction, decreased work satisfaction and poorer self-rated health. In addition, qualitative data in study two were explored using the Ungar et al (2008) model of resilience. This illustrated the potentially negative impact on young workers' resilience by highlighting the importance of contextual factors that amplify the experience of isolation, negative emotional consequences, and apprentices' decreased likelihood of reporting bullying for fear that bullying will continu

An assessment of selected non-water benefits of the Working for Water Programme in the Eastern and Southern Cape
No full text1.1 Background to, and motivation for, the study: The Working for Water programme (WfW) is a public works programme designed to clear South Africa of water-consuming invasive alien tree and plants, and to replace them with low water consuming indigenous species. This would prevent a loss of more than 4000 million cubic metres water per annum from the hydrological cycle (DWAF, 1998). The economic viability of the programme has been established in the Western Cape and Kwazulu-Natal (van Wilgen, Little, Chapman, Görgens, Willems and Marais, 1997; Gilham and Haynes, 2001), but questioned in the Eastern and Southern Cape (Hosking, du Preez, Campbell, Wooldridge and du Plessis, 2002). Hosking et al. (2002) investigated the economic case for the programme by performing a Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA), based on increased water yield and livestock potential, on six selected sites in the Eastern and Southern Cape, viz. Albany, Kat River, Pot River, Tsitsikamma, Kouga and Port Elizabeth Driftsands
Towards linking user interface translation needs to lexicographic theory
No full textCITATION: Du Plessis, A. & Swart, M. 2015. Towards linking user interface translation needs to lexicographic theory. Lexikos, 25:136-150, doi:10.5788/25-1-1292.The original publication is available at http://lexikos.journals.ac.zaIn a time of proliferating electronic devices such as smartphones, translators of user interfaces are faced with new challenges, such as the use of existing words in new contexts or in their obtaining new meanings. In this article, three lexicographic reference works available to translators in this field are compared: the Kuberwoordeboek/Cyber Dictionary (Viljoen 2006), the Pharos Afrikaans–Engels/English–Afrikaans Dictionary (Du Plessis et al. 2010) and the Microsoft Language Portal (www.microsoft.com/Language 2015). A list of selected examples (in English) is used to determine the extent to which each of these three works fulfils the needs of the user in terms of meaning discrimination for translating into Afrikaans. After determining this, an attempt is made to indicate whether the use of meaning discriminators such as part-of-speech markers, punctuation, paraphrases of meaning, and contextual and co-textual guidance (as indicated by Beyer 2009: 11) may have contributed to the success or failure of the given reference work, in order to arrive at a conclusion about the link between lexicographic theory and usability.http://lexikos.journals.ac.za/pub/article/view/1292Publisher's versio

Evaluation of the Susceptibility Status of Spiny Bollworm<i>Earias biplaga</i>(Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) to Bt Cotton in South Africa
No full textThe bollworm complex of cotton in South Africa consists of the African bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), red bollworm, Diparopsis castanea (Hamps.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), and the spiny bollworms, Earias biplaga (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and Earias insulana (Boisduval) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) (Green et al. 2003). Larvae of these species are regarded as major pests of cotton since they tunnel into the growing tips, flowering buds and cotton bolls, resulting in damage and subsequent yield losses (Bennett 2015). Genetically modified (GM) transgenic Bt cotton plants that express Cry proteins have been cultivated in SouthAfrica since 1998 to control these lepidopteran pests (Thirtleet al. 2003). Bollgard®, expressing the Cry1Ac protein, was first commercially produced in South Africa in 1998 and discontinued after the 2010 growing season (ICAC 2007). Bollgard ll®, also registered for control of lepidopteran pests on cotton, is a stacked transgenic cotton which expresses two Bt proteins, namely Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab2 (Taverniers et al. 2008; Showalter et al. 2009
Suitability indicators to assess specific site, risk-based irrigation water quality
No full textIn the first of this two-paper series, we introduced
readers to a newly developed electronic Decision
Support System (DSS) that helps the user to assess
the fitness for use of irrigation water (du Plessis et.
al., 2019). In this paper, we provide an overview of the
suitability indicators used by the DSS to assess the fitness
for use of water for irrigation.http://www.sabi.co.za/magazine.htmlam2019Town and Regional Plannin
