The gaze in reflection : a pilgrimage towards biography
Thesis (MA (General Theory of Language and Literature))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.The writing of a biography on the life of the cabaret artiste,
who was also the wife of a celebrated caricaturist and artist,
a socialite, devoted daughter and eventually a mother
herself: Hilde Czapski, Hilde Gert, Hilde Simmel and Hilde
Mecl, is the subject of this dissertation. A woman born in a
country whose androcentric, racist and genocidal tendencies
denied her not only a voice as a woman, dignity as a human
being, but her very existence.
Chapter 1 deals with aspects of truth and fiction and the
position of the narrator within the genre of biography.
Chapter 2 illustrates the reflective path followed by the
writer to conceive a biography on her mother.
Chapter 3 looks at the female gaze - upon herself, her world
and those closest to her.
Chapter 4 examines humour and its use as a defence
mechanism.
Chapter 5 describes the subject's life in her adoptive
country, her untimely death, and the emergence of her
vindication and immortalisation through biography that will
celebrate her life.Master
The Result of High Dose Therapy with Peripheral Blood Stemm Cells (PBCs) Support at Patients with Multiple Myeloma
The submitted thesis is based on comparison of therapeutical effectivity of two different methods using in multiple myeloma patients for therapy. The best therapy seems to be single or tandem autologous stem cell transplantation ASCT with stimulation and separation of periferal blood stem cells (PBSCs). The stimulation could be done by CFA (cyclofosfamid) or cytostatik combinaňtion, e.g. IVE (ifosfamide, vepeside, epirubicine) in combination with G - CSF (granulocyte - colony - stimulating factor). The question which is not answered is which one of those methods is more effective. And which one of single or tandem ASCT is more profitable if any. The goal of the study is to compare two different methods of stimulation and separation of PBSCs (CFA and IVE). I compare the effectivity from a viewpoint of breeding PBSCs and also time consuming of the separation meňthods. Nobody has done this comparison before us. To separate PBSCs was used COBE Spectra apheresis systém. Spectra is efficient to separate the whole blood into its components. The group for my study were 167 patients with Multiple Myeloma. Part was stimulated with CFA the other part with IVE. In every one of those groups we compare the number of PBSCs represent by CD34+ cells, type and period of several separation methods and also differences between..

INTEGRATING PLANNING INTO PRODUCTION SCHEDULING: VISOPT SHOPFLOOR SYSTEM
Abstract: Traditional planning deals with the problem of finding activities to satisfy a given goal while traditional scheduling solves the problem of allocation known activities to limited resources and to limited time. In many real-life problems both tasks should be accomplished together. In the paper we describe a scheduling engine of the Visopt ShopFloor system that integrates planning and scheduling component in a unified framework. Key words: planning, scheduling, constraint reasoning, applications 1
Implementing Propagators for Tabular Constraints
Abstract. Many real-life constraints describing relations between the problem variables have complex semantics and the constraint domain is defined using a table of compatible tuples rather than using a formula. In the paper we study the implementation of filtering algorithms (propagators) for such tabular constraints. We concentrate on implementation aspects of these algorithms so the proposed propagators can be naturally integrated into existing constraint satisfaction packages like SICStus Prolog
