Making and sharing the space among women and men : Some challenges for the South African church environment

The aim of this book is to explore how contemporary notions of reconciliation as a process of building, rebuilding and transforming relationships may be applied not only to “race” but also to gender relations in post-apartheid and post-TRC South Africa. After highlighting links between the past, the present and the future with regard to such relations in wider South African society, critical quest

From gesture in conversation to visible action as utterance

Language use is fundamentally multimodal. Speakers use their hands to point to locations, to represent content and to comment on ongoing talk; they position their bodies to show their orientation and stance in interaction; they use facial displays to comment on what is being said; and they engage in mutual gaze to establish intersubjectivity. This volume brings together studies by leading scholars

Quasi-Lie Algebras and Quasi-Deformations. Algebraic Structures Associated with Twisted Derivations

This thesis introduces a new deformation scheme for Lie algebras, which we refer to as ?quasi-deformations? to clearly distinguish it from the classical Grothendieck-Schlessinger and Gers-tenhaber deformation schemes. The main difference is that quasi-deformations are not in gene-ral category-preserving, i.e., quasi-deforming a Lie algebra gives an object in the larger catego-ry of ?quasi-Lie alge

Synthesis of Optically Active Bicyclo[2.2.2]octane Derivatives - A Study Towards Novel Taxol Mimics and Development of New Chiral Ligands for Asymmetric Catalysis

This thesis is a summary of six papers which concern synthesis of optically active bicyclo[2.2.2]octane derivatives. The derivatives prepared are important building blocks in a study towards a possible replacement of the diterpenoidic part of taxol, (baccatin III), so as to construct a taxol mimic. Some of the derivatives have also been developed into new bidentate ligands. TitaniumIV complexes of

Spinal Cord Injuries

Spinal cord injury can be classified as traumatic and non-traumatic. The traumatic spinal cord injuries (SCI) are caused by motor vehicle accidents (56 %), falls (14 %), firearm and violence-related (16.6 %) and sports injuries (7 %) [1]. Injuries after falls and minor trauma are more commonly seen in elderly patients as they more often have spondylosis and osteoporosis. Violence is more common in
