Identidad a través de la mirada: diálogo visual con las alturas en el contexto universitario de Diseño y Artes
Authors: Yáñez Martínez Begoña
Published: September 2021

La experiencia de investigaciones anteriores nos demuestra que mirar hacia arriba es una acción importante para devolver la atención a las manifestaciones visuales olvidadas. Pero en nuestra sociedad acelerada cada vez se mira más hacia abajo y se hace menos activa la observación del entorno. El presente artículo recoge una investigación artística que se apoya en la dimensión visual del conocimiento y la importancia de la observación activa. El objetivo principal es diseñar una experiencia educativa que nos ayude a despertar el interés por mirar hacia arriba, mediante la observación activa hacia los olvidados en las alturas y retratar la comunicación con lo observado. En este estudio trabajamos con estudiantes de Diseño y Artes Plásticas y Visuales. Mediante la implicación del docente en la construcción de una narrativa visual, se muestra un recorrido de diálogo entre la mirada, la gárgola y la identidad. Esta construcción se presenta como encuesta visual a nuestros participantes, que reflexionan y hacen suya la experiencia, produciendo sus propias narrativas. Su implicación y los resultados visuales que se muestran en este artículo nos ayudan a concluir que es posible incentivar ese interés por mirar hacia arriba y manifestarlo mediante la creación de productos visuales significativos.
Oral health knowledge, attitudes, and practices of undergraduate students at a South African University of Technology
Authors: Mbele-Kokela Feziwe Flora , Moodley Rajeshree
Published: September 2021

Awareness of oral health is essential for developing healthy habits, and a correlation between improved knowledge and better oral health has been shown to exist. Health-related behaviours are more likely to be followed if a person has greater control over their health with a better understanding of diseases and their aetiology. To determine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding oral health care among undergraduate students in the Life Sciences Department at a University of Technology, Free State. This descriptive study gives insights into the oral hygiene knowledge, attitudes, and practices of undergraduate students in the Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences, Department of Life Sciences at a University of Technology. Data were collected using an online questionnaire eliciting quantitative and qualitative data. The results revealed that most of the participants, 80% (n=178) understood that oral health is essential to their overall wellbeing. Overall, in this research, the findings of oral health education were found not to be covered. However, we found that variations in the source of dental information were correlated with university students’ oral health behaviour. The study, therefore, concludes that oral health care knowledge, attitudes and practices are affected by education and show that advocacy for the promotion of oral health is significant for the students.
IMPACT OF FAILURE OF A CENTRAL SECURITIES DEPOSITORY PARTICIPANT ON FINALITY AND IRREVOCABILITY OF SETTLEMENT OF SECURITIES
Authors: Vivienne A Lawack-Davids  , Lindi Coetzee
Published: September 2021

In view of the current global meltdown and the recession in South Africa, the question arises whether the legal framework pertaining to finality of settlement of securities is sufficiently robust to cope with failure of a central securities participant. This article examines this question and highlights some of the problems that exist with regard to uncompleted contracts in the Strate (Share Transactions Totally Electronic) environment. The authors conclude with certain recommendations to overcome the identified problems.
THE QUESTION OF INTERPRETATION IN THE NICHOLSON JUDGMENT Jacob Zuma v The National Director of Public Prosecutions [2009] I AII SA 54 N
Authors: Annette Singh
Published: September 2021

It is interesting that prior to Nicholson J’s judgment in the matter of Jacob Zuma v The National Director of Public Prosecutions, that Judge President Tshabalala stated quite categorically that he did not want the judge who was to preside over the corruption trial of Jacob Zuma to be placed under scrutiny (see “Zuma Judge Gets Legal Professional’s Approval” 31 July 2008 Business Day 3). However, since Nicholson J’s decision of the Jacob Zuma trial, both the judge and his judgment have invariably become the subject of intense scrutiny. Nicholson J’s judgment is fraught with inconsistencies, incongruities and controversy. Nevertheless, no matter what the views are regarding the findings of Nicholson J, it has to be conceded that it resulted in one of the most far reaching political decisions in South African legal history, which resulted in the ousting of the country’s president (Thabo Mbeki). While the judgment raises a plethora of both political and legal issues, it is not the intention of the author to venture into the political arena; rather an analysis ofthe approach adopted to statutory interpretation which influenced the court’s decision, is considered.
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE AND CASES OF SERIOUS OFFENDING: A SOUTH AFRICAN AND CANADIAN PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Emma Charlene Lubaale
Published: September 2021

The exact meaning, place and role of “restorative justice” (hereinafter “RJ”) in criminal matters remain largely unclear. Often, RJ is reduced to a sentencing option, an alternative to retributive justice and an approach, which cannot co-exist alongside custodial sentences. This oversimplification of the concept of RJ seems to have trickled down to the decisions of courts. Notably, although over the years the use of RJ in criminal matters has grown in its stature and impact, with countries like Canada and South Africa constituting prime examples of the few embracing this system in criminal matters, a critical analysis of the jurisprudence of both countries reveals that its application to criminal matters is shrouded with ambiguity. Most of these courts have reduced RJ to a mere sentencing option, an option that cannot rest comfortably alongside custodial sentences and an alternative to retributive justice. Nowhere is this ambiguity more eminent than in cases of serious offending. Given that custodial sentences are often deemed relevant in cases of serious offending, when RJ is oversimplified, it is often excluded from the overall criminal justice framework, making it impossible for it to co-exist alongside a retributive system of justice. Put differently, the manner in which RJ is being conceptualised is having major implication for its role in the prosecution of cases of serious offending. This article analyses case law that grapples with these issues in Canada and South Africa and on the basis of this analysis, it is argued that for RJ to have a meaningful role, especially in cases of serious offending, it should be perceived as a guiding principle that provides a foundation in the overall criminal justice process rather than a mere sentencing option, an alternative and an approach totally against custodial sentences.
FOREIGN INVESTMENT REGULATION IN THE SERVICES SECTOR IN AFRICA: SADC EXPERIENCE
Authors: Amos Saurombe
Published: September 2021

The growth of the service sector foreign direct investment (FDI) globally reflects an underlying need for appropriate regulation. As investors look into the African continent for investment opportunities, they need to find a regulated environment that can support their investments and related rights. This includes both intra-Africa FDI flows and investments that emanate out of the continent. The focus of this paper is on the Southern African Development Community (SADC). This paper will show that FDI will be critical for trade liberalization to be realised in the region. The findings of the paper point to the need for an institutional and regulatory framework in order to understand the consequences for investment flows. Where gaps are, appropriate cover needs to be found.
THE LACK OF AN APPROPRIATE CAUSATION FRAMEWORK IN COMPETITION LAW PROCEEDINGS UNDER THE COMPETITION ACT, 1998
Authors: Phumudzo S Munyai
Published: September 2021

Causation is one of the most under-utilised principles in public competition law. This increases the risk that defendants in competition proceedings, in particular, dominant firms in exclusionary abuse of dominance cases, may be found liable for market distortions that cannot satisfactorily be linked to their conduct. Having regard to the substantial financial penalties often levied against dominant firms found to have abused their dominant position, the central argument of this paper is that causation must be recognised and dealt with in competition proceedings as a fundamental legal principle that is central to competition liability. To this end, the paper proposes that the common-law principle of causation developed in tort law or delict can be utilised in developing an appropriate causation framework for public competition law.
DISCIPLINARY PROCESSES FOR SOUTH AFRICAN MAGISTRATES: REFLECTIONS ON THE MAGISTRATES ACT 90 OF 1993 AND THE LABOUR RELATIONS ACT 66 OF 1995
Authors: Leana Diedericks
Published: September 2021

An employment relationship creates certain rights and protection for the respective parties concerned. For example, an employee has the right not to be unfairly dismissed or subjected to unfair labour practices in the execution of his or her duties. On the other hand, an employer has the right to lay down rules in order to regulate the conduct required from its employees. The Code of Good Practice recognises this right of the employer: Dismissal , which requires all employers to adopt disciplinary rules that establish the standard of conduct required from employees. If an employee fails to adhere to the required rules or standards, the employer has recourse in the form of discipline. Disciplinary action is usually initiated in response to poor work performance or unwarranted behaviour by workers and is aimed at restraining employees from behaving in a manner that could hamper production and the functioning of the organisation. When an employer exercises the right to discipline, regard must be had to the employee’s right to be treated fairly. It is therefore important that disciplinary procedures should maintain a proper balance between the rights of the respective parties in the disciplining process.The aim of this note is to compare the procedures for disciplining conventional employees in terms of the LRA with the procedures to discipline magistrates in terms of the Magistrates Act. The purpose of the comparison is to evaluate whether the disciplinary regime applicable to magistrates effectively ensures that they are appropriately and timeously disciplined when necessary in order to ensure a well-functioning judiciary. The note will commence with an outline of the legislative and regulatory framework of the respective disciplinary processes. This will be followed by an evaluation of whether the disciplinary regime governing magistrates contributes to a well-functioning judicial system. The note will conclude with recommendations regarding streamlined processes that would provide role players in the judiciary with certainty about the applicable remedies and the appropriate dispute resolution institutions where their disputes may be resolved.

Published: September 2021

This is part 3.5 of the "Study of MAIT Cell Activation in Viral Infections In Vivo" collection of protocols. Collection Abstract: MAIT cells are abundant, highly evolutionarily conserved innate-like lymphocytes expressing a semi-invariant T cell receptor (TCR), which recognizes microbially derived small intermediate molecules from the riboflavin biosynthetic pathway. However, in addition to their TCR-mediated functions they can also be activated in a TCR-independent manner via cytokines including IL-12, -15, -18, and type I interferon. Emerging data suggest that they are expanded and activated by a range of viral infections, and significantly that they can contribute to a protective anti-viral response. Here we describe methods used to investigate these anti-viral functions in vivo in murine models. To overcome the technical challenge that MAIT cells are rare in specific pathogen-free laboratory mice, we describe how pulmonary MAIT cells can be expanded using intranasal bacterial infection or a combination of synthetic MAIT cell antigen and TLR agonists. We also describe protocols for adoptive transfer of MAIT cells, methods for lung homogenization for plaque assays, and surface and intracellular cytokine staining to determine MAIT cell activation.

outlineR: Artefact Processing and Extraction Protocol v1
Authors: Nicolas Matzig David
Published: September 2021

Geometric morphometric methods (GMM) in archaeology are experiencing a sharp increase in application and popularity since the last decade or so and seem to be more popular now than ever. In general, they constitute a major advance vis-à-vis earlier qualitative descriptions, typological assessment, or linear measurements of artefacts. GMM approaches can be divided into methods that use landmarks, and those that use trigonometric descriptions of whole outlines. The bulk of archaeological applications of GMM have so far relied on landmark-based approaches, although a surge of recent studies is demonstrating the utility of whole-outline approaches using so-called elliptical Fourier analysis and cognate approaches. There currently exist various standalone software applications as well as some R-packages for the extraction and analysis of landmarks and whole-outlines. However, the extraction step always involves a considerable amount of manual processing and manual tracking of either the landmarks or whole-outlines, which proves to be the definite bottleneck of many studies. In this protocoll I introduce the R-package outlineR (Matzig 2021) that allows a fast and efficient extraction of whole-outlines from multiple artefacts on images, as well as all necessary preparatory steps that lead up to it.

Moving Beyond Interpretive Monism: A Disciplinary Heuristic to Bridge Literary Theory and Literacy Theory
Authors: REYNOLDS TODD , RUSH LESLIE S. , LAMPI JODI P. , HOLSCHUH JODI PATRICK
Published: September 2021

In this essay, authors Todd Reynolds, Leslie S. Rush, Jodi P. Lampi, and Jodi Patrick Holschuh provide a disciplinary heuristic that bridges literary and literacy theories. The secondary English language arts (ELA) classroom is situated at the intersection between literary theory and literacy theory, where too often literary theory does not include pedagogical practices and literacy theory does not take disciplinary differences into account. Reynolds and coauthors propose an English Language Arts heuristic for disciplinary literacy to guide teachers toward embracing student-led interpretations. They explore the connections among the Common Core State Standards, New Criticism, and the ELA classroom and focus on the prevalence of interpretive monism, which is the belief that only one interpretation is appropriate for students when reading a literary text. The essay explicates a heuristic for ELA literacy that centers on students actively creating interpretations of and transforming literary texts. By embracing this heuristic, the authors assert, teachers can focus on student-led interpretations of literary texts and thus empower their students.

The last years of the last century and the first years of the current one were the heyday of Kazan University in general and its medical faculty in particular. As the easternmost of the European universities, with comparatively poor laboratories and clinics, it is on par with its much richer Western European counterparts in its scientific achievements. This is explained by the fact that most of its departments were then occupied by persons who held the banner of science high and, despite the unfavorable situation, managed to create entire schools that became breeding grounds for scientists for all of Russia at that time.

None of the types of ovarian tumors at one time caused as much controversy and disagreement about histogenesis and their clinical significance as struma ovarii did. This tumor was first described by Bland-Sutton in 1883; further we find descriptions of this tumor in foreign literature in Gottschalck'a, Kretschmar'a, Glokner'a, R. Meuer'a and others; in Russian literature, Ulezko-Stroganova first described it in 1904, in recent years Kushnir, Tavildarov, Chtetsova and Ginodman. In total, in the literature available to us, we could find a description of 62 cases of it.

Among the various inflammatory diseases of the spine, acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in quantitative terms occupies a more than modest place, but in terms of the severity of its course, in the number of complications, sometimes more severe than the underlying disease, and in terms of high mortality, it should be ranked along with the most serious diseases.
To the question of the primary suture after antrotomy
Authors: Lebedevsky B. N.
Published: September 2021

The meaning of surgical interventions on the mastoid process is to remove pathological changes in the tissue. As a result, a large bony cavity is formed, communicating, on the one hand, with the outside world through the operating opening, and on the other hand, having a close connection with the infected middle ear cavity. As a favorable result of the operation, we strive to obtain a cure for the main suffering cessation of suppuration and good, possibly quick, wound healing; in addition, the patient is interested in the possibility of regaining the lost hearing or preserving the remaining hearing. To achieve the best effect, both the operating technique and the consistent treatment of the trephine wound are important. Experience shows that this last point is not indifferent to the outcome of the operation.

Julius Hass (Zeitschrift fr orthopdiche Chirurgie, Febr. 1928 considers a plaster corset to be the only rational device for treating scoliosis, subject to gradual, prolonged and gentle pressure on the bulge of the ribs; he recommends the following method: a plaster corset is applied to the patient in the Glisson loop, and from the side A flattened rubber balloon, previously wrapped in suede or some other material, with a rubber tube extended outward is placed on the bulge on the torso. Wide windows are made from the concave side. Air is slightly pumped into the balloon once a week. The child does gymnastics daily. This treatment is used in children and adolescents in the period of growth and should last at least 2 years, and a plaster corset is worn only in autumn and winter, in summer it is replaced by a removable leather apparatus.
Human body asymmetry and its significance in orthopedics
Authors: Alekseeva-Kozmina A.
Published: September 2021

Siegfried Bornich (Zeitschrift fr orthopdiche Chirurgie, 23 Dec. 1927). The human body is rarely completely symmetrical. Asymmetry occurs in all parts of our skeleton, but is especially reflected in the spine. Due to the unequal length of the legs, the pelvis takes an oblique position, which in turn causes scoliosis. In a child, the left leg is usually shorter than the right, the lumbar part of the spine is bent to the left; in the thoracic part of the spine, a compensatory curvature to the right occurs. In young men, the right leg becomes shorter, the pelvis, depending on this, changes the slope, but scoliosis is already static in nature. Asymmetry has become permanent. In adults, finally, there is a cross type of asymmetry, when, for example, the left shin is shorter than the right, the thigh, on the contrary, etc. The author concludes that asymmetry is of great importance from the point of view of physical education: gymnastics should be different according to the type asymmetry and age of the child.
Method for correcting ptosis using a loops from the fascia lata of the thigh
Authors: Adamyuk V.
Published: September 2021

Derby (Americ. Journ. Of. Ophth. 1928) proposes an original method for correcting ptosis with a ligamentous fascia loop. Above the ciliary edge, the top, the eyelid is incised immediately to the cartilage. The upper edge of the incision is somewhat separated. Then, with a double-sided knife, on both sides of the midline, 2 channels are made subcutaneously, ending above the eyebrow. A strip cut from the wide fascia of the thigh (7-8 cm long and 1 cm wide) is passed in the form of a loop through these channels. The ends of the loop are brought out into the holes above the eyebrow, where they are sewn to the frontal muscle and skin. One eye patch for a week.
Female urethral strictures

Meta Oelze-Rheinboldt (Arch. F. Derm. U. Syph. Bd. 155, 1928) regrets that new textbooks have given little attention to female urethral strictures, while she observes that they are relatively common. In cases with frequent urge to urinate, it is necessary to think about strictures. Along with the study with bougie, capitate probes, urethrocystoscopy is necessary. In girls and girls who did not have a history of gonorrhea, strictures can occur due to nervous irritations. The author recommends treatment with an endoscope, careful and prolonged dilatation, and better in combination with diathermy.
Syphilis and Pyatigorsk
Authors: Weinstein A.
Published: September 2021

Chlenov (Clinical Medicine, 1928, vol. VI, No. 3) in a rather large, interesting article in detail, having analyzed all the indications and contraindications for the use of sulfur baths for syphilis, indicates that the use of such in syphilis is often problematic, not based on any what scientific findings. With extremely rare exceptions (malignant syphilis), there are no direct indications for the use of sulfur baths for syphilitics. Increased release of mercury when using sulfur baths is observed when using conventional baths. To reinforce the specific course and the general condition of the body, a syphilitic can be sent with equal success to other resorts in addition to Pyatigorsk. The problematic nature of sulfur baths in syphilis, meanwhile, has led to the fact that Pyatigorsk enjoys an undeserved syphilidological reputation among the public and doctors; they are afraid to go there, so as not to get the stigma of a syphilitic. This extremely sad fact leads to the fall of Pyatigorsk as a resort, to a decrease in its attendance, while its natural resources (sulfuric, salt, bitter waters, Tambukan mud) can serve a colossal number of a wide variety of patients.

Diagnostic value of the Bordet-Gendou reaction in the clinic of female gonorrhea
Authors: Weinstein A.
Published: September 2021

Lvov (West. Sovr. Med., 1928, No. 21), examined 494 gonorrheal patients for the above reaction, in whom gonococcus was found only, in 38.9%; in other cases, the diagnosis was made by history, clinical presentation and serology. Open gonorrhea (acute and chronic) generally gives 26% of positive Bordet-Gengou reactions, closed - 84%. The most important conclusion: the presence of a gonococcus with open and closed gonorrhea increases the% of positive reactions, and thus the presence of a gonococcus gives the body a known immunity, which is found in the blood by the above reaction.

The tremendous importance of physiatric methods of treatment, correctly assessed by the leaders of Soviet medicine, has led to the fact that these methods are spreading more and more widely in our Union, and an increasing circle of doctors is being drawn into the number of active workers in physics. Balneotherapy, as one of the types of physiatrics, is increasingly being used in gynecology and, with the modern organization of the spa business, attracts new cadres of workers. With the lack of familiarity of the general public with mud therapy of gynecological diseases, the emergence of a practical systematic guide in this area is imperative, and from this point of view, the publication of Dr. Mazhbits's book is quite timely, and the book itself, despite some shortcomings, significantly fills the gap in the literature of this area, The book is conceived and compiled according to an extensive program, contains a historical essay on mud therapy, a description of the properties of mud, a detailed presentation of theories about the essence of the action of mud. A detailed description of the mud therapy technique concerns only the technique of the Crimean mud baths. Outlining the technique of mud therapy, the author describes in some detail intravaginal, intrarectal and combined abdomino-vaginal treatment and reveals himself to be a supporter of the method of "sparing". The author's striving for scientific processing of the material in the sense of studying the functional changes of various organs under the influence of mud therapy, especially changes in the menstrual curve, can be fully welcomed. It is also quite correct to recognize such a setting of the case when the treatment is carried out under the strict control of scientifically established indicators (reaction to baths, t , SR, leukocyte, formula, etc.). Special chapters are devoted to the indications and contraindications for mud therapy, the regimen of patients during and after mud therapy, as well as the accounting of the immediate and long-term results of mud therapy in gynecological patients.

Authors: G. V.
