A critical review of integrated assessment at Cape Peninsula University of Technology: A newsletter assignment

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the success of an integrated newsletter assignment by analysing the narratives of the key role-players. The research included a critical review of teaching and assessment practices in order to bring about a change to the assessment. The results of this research indicate that certain improvements to the newsletter assignment are necessary in order for it to add value as a learning and assessment tool. This paper further emphasises the importance of changing assessment in a creative and dynamic way so as to adapt to the changing environmentoutside of the academic institution. The paper examines the principles of a typically good assessment in order to make informed adjustments to the newsletter assignment. Of particular importance are the reflections of the relevant stakeholders and how students learn through their interaction with others

The combinatorics of open covers (II)

We continue to investigate various diagonalization properties for sequences of open covers of separable metrizable spaces introduced in Part I. These properties generalize classical ones of Rothberger, Menger, Hurewicz, and Gerlits-Nagy. In particular, we show that most of the properties introduced in Part I are indeed distinct. We characterize two of the new properties by showing that they are equivalent to saying all finite powers have one of the classical properties above (Hurewicz property in one case and in the Menger property in other). We consider for each property the smallest cardinality of metric space which fails to have that property. In each case this cardinal turns out to equal another well-known cardinal less than the continuum. We also disprove (in ZFC) a conjecture of Hurewicz which is analogous to the Borel conjecture. Finally, we answer several questions from Part I concerning partition properties of covers

The effect of chiropractic manipulation on the sacroiliac joints compared to mobilisation, on the weight distribution through the lower limbs

Sacro-iliac joint (S.I joint) dysfunction can result in leg length discrepancies (LLD). LLD has been associated with many musculoskeletal problems such as osteoarthritis of the hips, knee pain and lower back pain. It has been theorised that LLD alters a persons body posture, which in turn changes the forces acting on the joints in the lower extremity and spine. These unnatural forces then create the excessive forces seen as the causative factors in the previously mentioned musculoskeletal conditions. (Murrel, Cornwall, Doucet 1991) The purpose of this pilot study was to was to compare the effect of chiropractic manipulative therapy on the S.I joints with chiropractic mobilisations of the S.I joints on the weight transfer from the spine into the lower limbs. This randomised study consisted of two groups of fifteen patients between the ages of eighteen and fifty years. All potential candidates were examined and admitted once all the inclusion and exclusion criteria had been met. Once S.I joint restrictions were detected the patient received either chiropractic manipulation or mobilisation to the restricted joint. Group A received chiropractic manipulation while group B were treated with mobilisations of the S.I joints. Patients were treated over a two week treatment period. Objective measurements were taken before the 1st treatment and after the 1st ,3rd ,5th and final consultations one month later. The measurements were taken with the Spinal Analyses Machine (S.A.M). This instrument has got two scales on a platform that determines the patients weight distribution from the spine through the left and right lower limbs. The data collected was then statistically analysed using the One Way ANOVA Test (analyses of variance) as well as the Student-Newman-Keuls Method to compare the inter-group and intra-group data. Statistically significant changes in the weight distribution between the lower limbs were seen in group A. Based on the results from the study chiropractic manipulation to the S.I joint proved to be more effective than mobilisation in the treatment of S.I joint dysfunction. This does however require further research, and a larger sample size.Dr. M. Moodley Dr. J. Kotz

Alkenes - ester polymeric solvents thermodynamic interactions - Part 1

This work focused on the interactions between ester solvents and volatile organic compounds of alkene in nature. Infinite dilution activity coefficients of alkenes in various fatty acid ester solvents were predicted in order to study and thermodynamically understand the nature and effect of the bond interactions involved. Activity coefficients were computed using Microsoft Excel model specifically designed for this purpose. The ester solvent chain length and saturation influenced the solubility of alkene organics. Saturated and longer ester chains gave better absorption performance. Alkenes were found to be more soluble than their alkane counterparts of similar carbon count
