Description: Several countries on the African continent recognize that a transition to a knowledge-based economic model would stimulate growth and enable scientific independence. Investing in new knowledge would drive the formation of highly qualified professionals and the use of advanced technologies, triggering in return positive economic trends. Importantly, a knowledge-based economy that values the impact of science on society would help reversing the migration of skilled workers and lead to brain gain.

The weak to strong state involvement and political accountability levels schema

Description: The propositionis that socio-economic development from local to national levels often straddles at least four pathways that are driven by two main variables:the relative strength or weakness of (1) state (and government) involvementin the management of public affairs and resources and (2) the mechanisms for ensuring political accountability. The four pathways, with associated attributes, have presented opportunities or challenges that have promoted or collapsed the sustainable economic development of many post-colonial countries. Using the two main variables we can locate different countries in distinct categories (quadrants) across a two-dimensional Cartesianplane, with state involvement on the Y-axis and state and government accountability to citizens on the X-axis.

Allosteric site modulators: a case study for falcipains as malarial drug targets

Description: Fighting against malaria is a never-ending battle. Plasmodium parasites continuously develop resistance to the drugs used against them including the artemisinin-based combination therapies as observed recently in Southeast Asia. The main concern now is whether the resistant parasite strains spread to Africa, where most malaria cases are located. To prevent this, we need to think outside the box. To date, there is no allosteric drug for malaria. Hence, allosteric drug targeting sites and modulators might be a new hope for malarial treatment. In Plasmodium falciparum two cysteine proteases, falcipain-2 (FP-2) and falcipain-3 (FP-3), have been identified as the main hemoglobinases, and are considered as attractive drug targets.

The "old-new" challenges of water, sanitation and bioremediation in developing countries

- Tandlich, Roman

Authors: Tandlich, Roman

Language: English

Description: Developing countries face challenges in the development of infrastructure and population growth. These lead to “side-effects" such as uncontrolled urbanization and the fact that basic services such as water and sanitation are lagging behind the actual needs on the ground. Historical challenges, lack of skilled staff and often lack of sustained funding are some of the reasons for the status quo. Extent of water and sanitation coverage often forces national and local governments to install the minimum-standard solutions, e.g. the ventilated improved pit latrines. This improves the public health status in the short-term, but causes problem in the long run due to the lack of regular maintenance such as through lack emptying of pits. Sometimes, construction of these facilities is of inferior standard. Pits are often built without lining or zero consideration is given to the local conditions in terms of soil properties, water table and the number of toilet users.

Obituary: John Mayne English 1922-2013

- Lewis, Colin A

Description: In 1962 John moved south to Johannesburg, but that bustling city held few attractions for him and he moved further south, to the cathedral city of Grahamstown. Grahamstown, with its nineteenth century Gothic cathedral, elegant Georgian buildings, and distinctive grandeur of Rhodes University, St Andrew's College and other buildings designed by Herbert Baker and his colleagues, suited John. He particularly enjoyed the academic, social, artistic and dramatic life of the community, where many older members of society were distinguished old-Africa hands. John thoroughly enjoyed Grahamstown where, in the partnership of Hoskins and English, he made his mark in the restoration and extension of many significant buildings. His addition to the Anglican chapel at Hog's Back is a masterpiece, as is his incorporation of the old fayade into the rebuilding and extension of the Magistrates' Court.

Description: Convicts, Coon Songs, Fairy bells, coach and four grey horses, bubonic plague, ' dirty' Boers, Sarie Marais, Ballarat, Melbourne, Colombo, harem skirt, and handbells. All feature in this wonderful, fascinating, and meticulously researched book by Anne Doggett and Gwyn Gillard.The book starts with a chapter entitled Handbells in History. We learn a little of ancient handbells before the authors discuss nineteenth century English handbell founders, such as those based at Whitechapel; Warners; Taylors; Gillett and Johnston; Shaw of Bradford; and the Rudhalls of Gloucester. Rapid industrialisation, the authors argue, led to immense social changes in Europe and increased demand for entertainment, some of which was provided by touring companies and family groups who played handbells.
