(AOSIS, 2016)Background: Job satisfaction and burnout have been recurring problems amongst nurses in the Republic of South Africa (RSA). As a result, nurses are still leaving the rural public sector in search of lucrative work at the ... -
Levelling the playing fields in PAR: the intricacies of power, privilege, and participation in a University-Community-School Partnership
(Sage, 2017)When academics, who occupy a traditional position of power and privilege, engage with community members whose thinking, attitudes, and responses have been shaped by ongoing sociohistorical oppression and disadvantage, ... -
Levelling-out and register variation in the translations of experienced and inexperienced translators: a corpus-based study¹
(University of Stellenbosch, 2016)Explicitation, simplification, normalisation and levelling-out, the four features of translation proposed by Baker (1996), have attracted considerable attention in translation studies. Although the first three have been ... -
Levels of DNA methylation and transcript accumulation in leaves of transgenic maize varieties
(Springer, 2016)Background: Prior to their release in the environment, transgenic crops are examined for their health and environ‑ mental safety. In addition, transgene expression needs to be consistent in order to express the introduced ... -
Levels of PCBs in wild bird eggs: considering toxicity through enzyme induction potential and molecular structure
(ELSEVIER, 2013)Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were analysed in wild bird eggs from industrialised areas in South Africa. The concentration, congener profile, feeding guild, potential associated risk and biology were investigated. PCBs ... -
Leveraging ongoing research to evaluate the health impacts of South Africa s salt reduction strategy: a prospective nested cohort within the WHO-SAGE multicountry, longitudinal study
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2016)Introduction. Attempting to curb the rising epidemic of hypertension, South Africa implemented legislation in June 2016 mandating maximum sodium levels in a range of manufactured foods that contribute significantly to ... -
Leveraging the urban-rural divide for epigenetic research
(Future Medicine, 2020)Urbanization coincides with a complex change in environmental exposure and a rapid increase in noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). Epigenetics, including DNA methylation (DNAm), is thought to mediate part of the association ... -
Lewende Godsprake vir ons: Die implikasie van λόγια ζῶντα in Handelinge 7:38
(AOSIS OpenJournals, 2010)In what turned out to be his final sermon on earth, Stephen the Deacon used the expression λόγια ζῶντα to describe the authoritative oracles from God as the people of Israel received them from God and his angels through ... -
The liability of historical mine authorisation holders for rehabilitation of old order mine dumps
(VerLoren Van Themaat Centre / UNISA Press, 2014)Mine dumps or tailings (i.e. 'mine waste') created by mining activities are some of the main environmental impacts of mining. Historically little or no regard was given to the environment while planning mine dumps, since ... -
Liberalizing Bangladesh’s services trade: is joining trade in services agreement the way to go?
(Sage, 2020)Although currently limited, services trade holds great potential for Bangladesh, as services already make a major contribution to GDP and employment. Services represent an important alternative (in the longer term) or ... -
Liberating language and concepts of the divine in contemporary hymnody
(AOSIS, 2017)This article will examine from an auto-ethnographic perspective the language of hymnody and how it has developed over the last 25 years through the period of secularisation and postsecularisation. It will interrogate and ... -

Librarian-academic collaboration: the role of strategic communication and relationship management
(University of Johannesburg, 2011)Information literacy and critical thinking skills are essential in the information age towards achieving academic success and being adequately skilled for lifelong learning. Academic libraries have an indispensable role ... -
Lie group classification for a generalised coupld lane–emden system in dimension one
(2014)n this article, we discuss the generalised coupled Lane-Emden system u''+H(v)=0, v''+G(u)=0 that applies to several physical phenomena. The Lie group classification of the underlying system shows that it admits a ten-dimensional ... -
Lie symmetry analysis, conservation laws and exact solutions of the seventh-order time fractional Sawada-Kotera-Ito equation
(Elsevier, 2016)In this paper Lie symmetry analysis of the seventh-order time fractional Sawada-Kotera-Ito (FSKI) equation with Riemann-Liouville derivative is performed. Using the Lie point symmetries of FSKI equation, it is shown that ... -
Lie symmetry reductions and exact solutions of an option-pricing equation for large agents
(Springer, 2016)In this paper, we study a nonlinear partial differential equation that models the one-factor term structure option-pricing for large agents from the Lie symmetry stand point. This equation was modelled by Jonsson and Keppo ...
