South Africa’s Bantustans and the dynamics of “decolonisation”: Reflections on writing histories of the homelands
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2012)
From the late 1950s, as independent African polities replaced formal colonialrule in Africa, South Africa’s white minority regime set about its own policy ofmimicry in the promotion of self-governing homelands, which ...
Modeling the dynamics of an epidemic under vaccination in two interacting populations
(Hindawi, 2012)
Mathematical modeling of the numerical evolution of infectious diseases has become an
important tool for disease control and eradication when possible. Much work has been done
on the problem of how a given population is ...
Training community care workers to provide comprehensive TB⁄HIV⁄PMTCT integrated care in KwaZulu-Natal: Lessons learnt
(Wiley, 2012)
To describe a participatory approach to implement and evaluate ways to integrate and traincommunity care workers (CCWs) to enhance collaborative TB⁄HIV⁄PMTCT activities, and home-basedHIV counseling and testing (HCT) at ...
On multiple classes of gamma-ray bursts, as deduced from autocorrelation functions or bivariate duration/hardness ratio distributions
(Oxford University Press, 2012)
Autocorrelation functions (ACFs) of 119 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) monitored by the Burst
Alert Telescope (BAT) on Swift are calculated. Contrasting with previous results for smaller
numbers of bursts from other missions, ...
Engagement of non-government organisations and community care workers in collaborative TB/HIV activities including prevention of mother to child transmission in South Africa: Opportunities and challenges
(BMC, 2012)
The implementation of collaborative TB/HIV activities may help to mitigate the impact of the dual epidemic on patients and communities. Such implementation requires integrated interventions across facilities and levels of ...
Disentangling non-gaussianity, bias, and general relativistic effects in the galaxy distribution
(American Physical Society, 2012)
Local non-Gaussianity, parametrized by
f
NL
, introduces a scale-dependent bias that is strongest at large scales, precisely where general relativistic (GR) effects also become significant. With future data, it should ...
Development of a compendium of local, wild-harvested species used in the informal economy trade, Cape Town, South Africa
(Resilience Alliance, 2012)
Wild harvesting has taken place over millennia in Africa. However urbanization and cash economies have
effectively altered harvesting from being cultural, traditional, and subsistence activities that are part of a rural ...
Reconstruction of dark energy and expansion dynamics using Gaussian processes
(IOP Publishing, 2012)
An important issue in cosmology is reconstructing the effective dark energy equation
of state directly from observations. With few physically motivated models, future dark
energy studies cannot only be based on constraining ...
Narratives of HIV disclosure and masculinity in a South African village
(Routledge, 2012)
This paper describes men’s experiences of disclosing their HIV status, arguing thatdisclosure restored their social respect, which was previously undermined by an illnessfrom AIDS. Results are from a 14-month ...
