Juridisch Kennismanagement in het IT-tijdperk

Gegevens, informatie en kennis worden voor organisaties van steeds groter belang. Zij worden steeds meer beschouwd als producten waarvan de waarde wordt bepaald door vraag en aanbod. Dit wordt mede veroorzaakt door de steeds verdergaande invloed van informatietechnologie (IT). Voor sommige organisaties zijn informatie en kennis inmiddels de belangrijkste productiefactoren geworden. Dit geldt ook, en zelfs in sterke mate, voor juridische organisaties. Deze dienen te beschikken over steeds meer juridische kennis en informatie om hun taak naar behoren te kunnen uitvoeren. Juridische informatie en kennis zijn vastgelegd in een breed scala van documenten en worden steeds vaker aangeboden via elektronische media. De vorm van de oorspronkelijke documenten, en daarmee ook de inhoud, ondergaat daarbij deels veranderingen, evenals de wijze waarop zij kunnen worden geraadpleegd. Dit onderzoek voorziet in een eerste inventarisatie en analyse van de wijze waarop juristen met informatiestromen omgaan, alsmede van de rol die IT hierbij speelt. Daartoe werd onderzoek gedaan bij organisaties die een juridische taak vervullen: gemeenten met wel/geen vergaande automatisering. Voorts wordt nagegaan in hoeverre IT een geschikt hulpmiddel is voor het kanaliseren van de steeds toenemende stroom gegevens, informatie en kennis en in welke omgeving dit het best tot zijn recht komt

Accumulation of organochlorine pesticides in fat tissue of wild Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus) from iSimangaliso Wetland Park, South Africa

Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus) are important apex predators in many tropical and subtropical aquatic habitats throughout much of sub-Saharan Africa. In South Africa, large crocodile populations inhabit lakes and wetlands that are impacted by organochlorine pesticides (OCPs). Despite the continued use of these compounds and their potential adverse effects on key wildlife populations in southern Africa, limited ecotoxicoloigcal data exist. In this study, we examined the accumulation of OCPs in fat tissues of live, wild Nile crocodiles from iSimangaliso Wetland Park, a region of significant biological importance. All samples (n = 15) contained multiple contaminants in highly elevated concentrations, with total residue burdens varying between 3600 and 8000 ng g−1 ww. DDT and its metabolites were the dominant compounds detected in most samples, with ∑DDT concentrations ranging between 520 and 3100 ng g−1 ww. Elevated levels of other OCPs were also detected, including lindane (67–410 ng g−1 ww), aldrin (150–620 ng g−1 ww) and heptachlor (170–860 ng g−1 ww). Our findings show that crocodiles are exposed to OCPs throughout their range within iSimangaliso Wetland Park and contain some of the highest concentrations ever recorded in crocodilian tissue. Results indicate the need for a greater understanding of the impacts of OCP exposure and toxicological responses in crocodiles from iSimangaliso, and in Nile crocodile populations in general. The novel surgical technique described in this study provides an effective method for assessing relationships between contaminant body burdens and their potential reproductive and developmental consequences in crocodilians.http://www.elsevier.com/locate/chemospherehj2019Paraclinical Science

High prevalence of hookah smoking among secondary school students in a disadvantaged community in Johannesburg

Smoking of hookahs (also known as water-pipes) represents an emerging trend in tobacco use. Hookah smokers are at risk for the same diseases caused by cigarette smoking – cancer, respiratory and heart diseases, and pregnancy-related complications. Globally, the highest rates occur in the North African and East Mediterranean regions and among young people in the USA and European countries. There has been little research on hookah smoking in southern Africa

e.e. cummings as an Expressionist poet

This study investigates the poetry of e.e. cummings from what is considered a novel hut productive point of view: it holds that in order to categorize cummings as an Expressionist poet (an enterprise which, it is maintained, will provide the reader with a useful frame for grappling with certain troubling aspects of cummings poetry) it is necessary to develop a reading strategy based on a method derived from the social sciences and the study of linguistics to make the categorization both feasible and responsible. Using techniques of choice suggested by critics, and developing further techniques of randomizing developed in accordance with the social sciences and linguistics, it was possible to arrive at a representative corpus of poetry, which could then be tested against criteria of Expressionism developed from a comprehensive literature study involving both poetry and the fine arts. This modus operandi has enabled the authors to assert that cummings could most fruitfully be read as an Expressionist poet. It is also suggested that this method could be most fruitfully extrapolated to similar studies involving other 'schools' and styles and other poets
