The role of the church in the struggle against poverty: A Hervormde Kerk in Suidelike Afrika perspective
Authors: Mpanza S. P. 
Published: January 2013

The essence of being a church is love. The church as an organization based on love has the responsibility of loving God, his people and the world which God himself loved first. This paper is about the responsibility of a 'poor church', the Hervormde Kerk in Suidelike Afrika, which despite its poverty still has the vocation of becoming meaningful to its members. Two appeals are made here: firstly, that both the rich and the poor churches should, despite their circumstances, play their roles in combating poverty among their members. Secondly, churches should shift from charity work to development.

Some aspects of Theodore Beza's political theory in his 'Deiure magistratuum' Beza's 'De iure magistratuum' had, directly or indirectly, a great influence on the development of political theory in Western Europe. In this paper the historical background of the 'De magistratuum' is discussed, as well as basic political concepts which form the basis of Beza's political theory, such as the origin of government and law, political contract and covenant, political pluralism, the right to resist government, justice, democracy, the priority of the people over government and rule of law.
Liefde in die familie van God 'n Beskrywende uiteensetting van familiale liefdesverhoudinge in die Johannesevangelie
Authors: Van der Watt J. G. 
Published: January 2013

Love in the family of God. A descriptive expositin of familial love in the Gospel of John. Love is the central ethical term in John's Gospel. The meaning of the term is often misunderstood. This article investigates the use of the term in John's Gospel, especially within its familial context. It is established that, reverentially, love includes loyalty towards members of the community and the acceptance of responsibility. This implies that love is expressed in actions. It works reciprocally. The Father sets the example which should be followed in obedience by the children. The nature of love depends on the situation. In the case of the Father love is expressed by giving his Son to die on the cross. In the case of the disciples, love is expressed by them obediently following the commands of the Father and the Son. In both cases it involves giving something, whether it is your Son or life, or in the case of the disciples, themselves.
Sondaars' in die tyd van Jesus
Authors: Pienaar Henk 
Published: January 2013

'Sinners' in the time of Jesus The hypothesis which is investigated in this article is that the expression 'sinners' is to be seen as a label for those people who were not socially accommodated within Israelite society in the time of Jesus. His ostracism was religiously legitimated by means of purity regulations with regard to people, places and calendar. The confirmation of the hypothesis provides the historical context of the inscription in Louw & Nida's semantic dictionary of New Testament Greek with regard to one of the meanings of the word 'sinner' (ἁμαρτωλόϛ) as 'social outcast'.
Jesus and cultural values: Family life as an example
Authors: Osiek Carolyn 
Published: January 2013

'Family values' is a set of traditional images that most cultures collect, images drawn mostly from an idealized picture of family life in the recent past. For Christians, the popular image of Jesus gets included: the Holy Family as a nuclear family unit, Jesus blessing children, Jesus as advocate of traditional family life. A closer reading of both contemporary family life and the Gospels reveals that things are not what they seem. Contemporary family life in Western societies is structured quite differently than the ideal. Jesus' family life was spent in a peasant village surrounded by relatives and neighbors, with little privacy and strong social pressure towards conformity. The gospel records indicate that he did not conform, and paid the price: rejection and misunderstanding by his extended family. The Synoptic Gospels consistently ponray not only an estrangement between Jesus and his family, but Jesus' encouragement of his disciples to break family ties in favor of the surrogate family of the circle of disciples. In a culture in which kinship loyalty was essential, this message caused deep problems for early Christians which the authors of the household codes of Ephesians, Colossians, the Pastoral Epistles, and 1 Peter tried to alleviate.
Belief in God among South African youth

Published: January 2013

This article investigates belief in God among 538 students from standard 9 who attend Anglican and Catholic schools in the Johannesburg/Pretoria region. Within their belief in God they make use of different interpretations, namely anthropomorph theism and panentheism, non-anthropomorph theism and panentheism, as well as what is called aniconic transcendent pantheism. These interpretations do not appear to exclude one another, but co-exist in the students' minds.
Meesternarratiewe, kontranarratiewe en kanonisering - In Perspektief op sommige profetiese geskrifte
Authors: Breytenbach A. P.B. 
Published: January 2013

Grand narratives, little narratives and canonisation - a perspective on some of the books of the Prophets. The raison d'etre of this study is the problem of normative theological dicta in parts of the Old Testament, which are contradicted in another or even the same book of the Old Testament. In this article canonisation as an ongoing process is investigated from a postmodem perspective which takes contextuality, intertextuality and grand and little narratives into account. The so-called Zion Theology is identified as a grand narrative during the time before and after the Babylonian exile. Books like Jeremiah, Micha, Samuel and Kings, as well as Jonah and Chronicles are referred to in this regard. The research, inter alia, leads to the following result: the normative material of a religious society is interpreted in the light of the prevailing grand narrative. These interpretations are usually added to the normative material. Little narratives, being contradictory to and resisting incorporation into grand narratives, are usually added to the normative material after the grand narrative has been stripped of its hegemony by historic events. This accounts for contradictory theological dicta in the Old Testament. From this follows that the very nature of the canonised material brought together in the Old Testament opposes a Jundamentalistic or orthodox theological approach.
Die ontstaan van belydenisskrifte gedurende die sestiende en sewentiende eeu
Authors: Dreyer Wim 
Published: January 2013

The origin of Reformed confessions during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This article examins the background, history and development of Reformed confessions in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, but especially the Swiss and French confessions which influenced the Belgic Confession of Faith, the Heidelberg Catechism and the Articles of Dordt. The premise is that if we really want to understand and interpret confessions, they must be read against their historical, theological and political background. At the same time confessions cannot be properly understood in isolation from their present context, that is, being confessions of the church. Confessions are not only historical documents, but of immense importance to the church which must confess its faith in the present.

Authors: Botha S. J. 
Published: January 2013

Confession in the context of ecclesiastical polity with special reference to the concept Church Ordinance 1997, Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika. In essence the question under discussion is about the functioning of the confession in church polity and how it is phrased in the concept Church Ordinance (1997) of the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika. This logically brings the very difficult question of doctrinal discipline up for discussion. The paper starts with a few remarks on the relation between scripture, confession and church polity. The tradition, forming the background of the concept, is traced from the time of the Reformation. After a short discussion on how doctrinal discipline was seen and put into practice in the Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika, final remarks are made on how this matter is handled in the concept.
Enkele motiewe vir 'n eietydse verstaan van die belydenisskrifte
Authors: Koekemoer J. H. 
Published: January 2013

Reasons for a comtemporary re-interpretation of creeds. The present century has seen an increasing opposition to creeds and doctrinal statements of faith. The question for the church and theology is how to read the creeds in such a way that it will not deprive us from our own responsibility to Scripture. In order to do just that a reinterpretation of the creeds is necessary. In this reinterpretation there should be a recognition of historical and cultural relativity. We do not experience our world in the same way as premodern people did. Any attempt to leave ecclesiastical doctrines in an unchangeable form would result in the increasing loss of the meanings of those doctrines.
Die personaliteit van vrou-wees binne die Mediterreense kultuur
Authors: Dreyer Yolanda 
Published: January 2013

Being a woman in Mediterranean culture. This article is written from the perspective of pastoral care and counseling with women. On account of their training in Biblical studies, pastors are aware of the gap between modem Westem culture and Mediterranean culture in the first century. The question is whether the meaning of this knowledge for the life and faith of women is adequately taken into consideration in pastoral work. In this article an explanation of what is meant by the concept 'culture' is given. The meaning of social identity within Mediterranean culture, being a woman within first-century patriarchy and the different 'categories' of women in this culture are discussed. These aspects are contextualised within the purity system of that culture.
Experience with free fibula transfer with screw fixation as a primary modality of treatment for congenital pseudarthosis of tibia in children - Series of 26 cases
Authors: Kalra Guru Dayal Singh , Agarwal Amit 
Published: January 2013

ABSTRACTBackground: Congenital pseudarthrosis is one of the greatest challenges of paediatric orthopaedic practice. Treatment options and literature addressing this condition are numerous, reflecting the difficulty in management. We aimed to study the effectiveness of free fibula transfer as a primary modality of treatment in children with this condition in terms of achieving length, union, and normal axis of the involved leg. Materials and Methods: During the period of 2001 to 2010, 26 children with congenital pseudarthrosis of tibia between age group of 2-8 years were evaluated and were reconstructed using contra-lateral free fibula graft, and then patients were followed up for 5 years subsequently. Patients were examined and time of bony union, weight bearing ability and walking without support were noted. Any complication directly or indirectly related to surgery with any complication seen in the due course of follow up of 5 years was also taken care of. Results: In our experience with treatment of congenital pseudarthrosis over a span of 10 years with free fibula transfer, the results have been gratifying with no flap loss. All our patients had UNEVENTFUL post-op recovery. Only 2 patients out of 26 had non-union, for which cancellous bone grafting was done (7.6%). Most of the patients were ambulatory with support by 3-6 months and continued to walk without support after a span of 18-24 months. The incidence of stress fracture in our study over the follow-up period was 4 out of 26 pts (15.3%). None of them had any deformity in the donor leg. Conclusion: When compared to other surgical modalities of treatment of the problem in question, vascularised free fibula transfer has emerged as a real saviour with good patient compliance and less complication rate in our study. It achieves the desired target with no residual deformities and near normal to normal gait with no stigma of bone removal from other leg.
Thoracodorsal artery perforator fasciocutaneous flap: A versatile alternative for coverage of various soft tissue defects
Authors: Sever Celalettin , Uygur Fatih , Kulahci Yalcin , Karagoz Huseyin , Sahin Cihan 
Published: January 2013

ABSTRACT
Objective: The thoracodorsal artery perforator (TDAP) flap has contributed to the efficient reconstruction of tissue defects that require a large amount of cutaneous tissue. The optimal reconstruction method should provide thin, and well-vascularized tissue with minimal donor-site morbidity. The indications for the use of this particular flap with other flaps are discussed in this article. Materials and Methods: Thirteen patients underwent soft tissue reconstruction using TDAP flaps between 2009 and 2011. Of those, there were four cases of antecubital burn contracture, three cases of axillary burn contracture, two cases of giant hair cell nevus of upper extremity, two cases of axillary reconstruction following severe recurrent hidradenitis, and two cases of crush injury. All patients were male and their ages ranged from 20 to 23 (average, 21 years). The mean follow-up period was 8 months (range, 4-22 months). Results: All reconstructive procedures were completed without any major complications. Minor complications related to transfered flaps were wound dehiscence in one case, transient venous congestion in two cases. Minor complication related to the donor site was seroma in one case. The success rate was 100%, with satisfactory cosmetic results. Conclusions: The TDAP flap is a safe and extremely versatile flap that offers significant advantages in acute and delayed reconstruction. Although the vascular anatomy may be variable, free and pedicled TDAP flap is a versatile alternative for soft tissue defects. It adapts very well to the soft tissue defects with acceptable donor site scar.

Human Resource Dvelopment and Poverty Reduction in Nigeria: A Symbiotic Relationship
Authors: Asaju Kayode 
Published: January 2013

ABSRACTHuman Capital development through education is a long time investment made by the state to enhance the well being of her citizenry. By investing in education, well educated individuals bring to bear their talents, knowledge, skills and experiences as they function in the various sectors of the economy. Human Capital development is therefore a prerequisite for economic growth and development, as well as a necessary and sufficient condition for poverty reduction in Nigeria. Unfortunately, successive governments in Nigeria have continued to pay lip services to the issue of investment in education. The author is of the view that poverty is synonymous with underdevelopment. Therefore, investing in human capital through education is the best strategy for overcoming the developmental challenges in the country, especially poverty reduction. This will be achieve by ensuring an effective educational system that is well funded, equipped, science and technology focus, dynamic, and innovative.

Quality Management System for Contemporary Public Administration: A case study of e-Governance
Authors: Vasista T. G. K. 
Published: January 2013

The quality movement in Public Administration is a part of reform and modernisation efforts aimed at replacing the bureaucratic model by a more citizen-oriented paradigm. Governments are considered organisations that are capable enough to quickly adopt new technologies to engage and serve constituents. While eGovernment embraces the use of information and communication technologies in public administration (combined with organisational change) to improve public services, e-governance on the other hand focuses on the idea of creating a government that is closer to the citizens it serves and more open to their participation at several levels. Research is needed on how the dynamic, competitive web culture affects citizen (and other user) demands for electronic service quality in the process of achieving customer satisfaction. The main theoretical argument behind this paper is that governments in the process of establishing quality management system in public administration should focus on working towards e-governance, which is citizen centric so as to create right organisational environment to achieve the effectiveness, efficiency and equity.

<b>Práticas de leitura e compreensão para o desempenho do aluno surdo no ensino regular<b/>
Authors: Pinheiro Lucineide Machado 
Published: January 2013

http://dx.doi.org/10.5902/1984686X6469 A leitura é fundamental para a formação dos alunos, é por meio dela que se dá a abordagem dos conteúdos escolares. Por isso, é preciso ensinar os alunos a lerem com competência, para que tenham um desempenho escolar satisfatório. Constata-se que as escolas não têm oferecido aos alunos, e entre eles, os surdos oralizados, práticas de leitura significativas, provocando assim, um baixo desempenho e um quadro de fracasso escolar. De forma contrária, práticas de leitura e compreensão desenvolvidas por profissionais da saúde em núcleos ou clínicas fonoaudiológicas, relatadas por vários autores, tem contribuído para minimizar a problemática que o ensino de leitura incipiente provoca na vida escolar desses alunos. Diante desse contexto, este estudo teve como objetivo, investigar a contribuição das práticas de leitura e compreensão de texto desenvolvidas por profissionais da saúde, para o desempenho do aluno surdo oralizado inserido no ensino regular. Trata-se de um estudo de caso, em que se utilizou como procedimento para coleta de dados, a observação na escola, na qual o aluno surdo encontra-se matriculado, e no Núcleo de Atuação Interdisciplinar de Audição, Linguagem e Educação (NAIALE), onde ele participa do atendimento voltado às dificuldades de leitura e compreensão. Os resultados demonstraram que as práticas de leitura e compreensão desenvolvidas no NAIALE, contribuem para um desempenho escolar satisfatório, pois atendem as especificidades de aprendizagem dos alunos surdos oralizados.Palavras-chave: Desempenho escolar; Leitura; Língua portuguesa; Surdos.
Xenakis et le sérialisme : l’apport d’une analyse génétique de Metastasis
Authors: Barthel-Calvet Anne-Sylvie 
Published: January 2013

Par rapport à l’article de Xenakis « Métastassis-Analyse » (2003), le matériau particulièrement abondant d’esquisses de Metastasis conservé au Département de la Musique de la Bibliothèque Nationale de France permet d’affiner la compréhension de l’écriture sérielle qui y est développée. À travers les multiples aspects que le compositeur y met en jeu, celle-ci apparaît comme une véritable maïeutique au cours de laquelle il va prendre conscience qu’il lui faut se tourner vers un autre mode d’organisation musicale, plus adapté à son projet esthétique.
