Thesis:

The infl uence of an in-service training programme on Libyan biology teachers’

pedagogical content knowledge (PCK)

Description:

The study, underpinned by the Shulman’s (1987) theory of Pedagogical Content Knowledge

(PCK), used a mixed-methods design to determine the infl uence of an in-service programme

on the instructional practices of a cohort of Libyan Biology teachers. The fi ndings showed that

the programme was eff ective for enhancing the teachers’ cognitive and instructional skills to:

implement the new Biology curriculum; organize hands-on activities in Libyan multicultural

classrooms. The fi ndings also exemplify Bybee’s (1997) 5Es namely, engaging learners,

exploring and explaining phenomena; elaborating scientifi c concepts and evaluating learners.

The fi ndings further showed that the teachers increased their understanding of learners’

needs, sociocultural backgrounds and consequently their interest to study biology.

Thesis:

Trauma, injustice and identity: Investigating an egalitarian and auto-ethnographic

approach to analyzing students language narratives

Description:

The thesis blends the key aspects of life history approach with an autoethnographic epistemic

stance to analyze the discourses of aff ective trauma, injustice and identity in the personal

language narratives of the Academic Literacy students enrolled in University of the Western

Cape’s Bachelor of Education Degree. The egalitarian lens used in the investigation assumes

particular prominence in that it helps examine the students’ real-life worlds via their respective

narratives, classroom observations, interviews and survey to come to terms with the relationship

between what is expected of them academically and the life-worlds that preceded their entry

to the university. In light of this, Mervyn’s personal experience with aff ective trauma conveyed

via his autoethnography lays the groundwork for addressing the issues of aff ective trauma,

injustice and its subsequent impact on students’ identities and self-perception.

Supervisor: PROF C JULIE

Thesis:

Pre-service mathematics teachers’ engagement with the evaluation and construction of

alternative mathematical models for the same phenomena

Description:

The competence of prospective mathematics teachers to evaluate and construct alternative

mathematical models should be developed due to mathematical modelling being valued in

all school mathematics curricula. Cornelissen investigated issues pertaining to preservice

teachers’ evaluation and construction of models dealing with social phenomena. Real-time

data were collected. Thematic analysis rendered that fairness was the main concern

students had with existing models. Their reconstructed models addressed this issue. For the

two diff erent models related to BEE and shareholding by Blacks, the authority of research

drove deliberations. The thesis contributes towards the recognition that lived realities

structure the evaluation and construction of mathematical models of social issues.

Public Funding and student accessibility: A Comparative study of two Public Universities

in Africa

Description:

This study examines the relationship between public funding and student access at the

University of the Western Cape and the University of Ghana. Underpinned by resource

dependence theory, the study adopts a qualitative methodology via in-depth interview and

documentary analysis to gather data to explore the study’s objective. The fi ndings indicate

that, the levels of change in public funding have a signifi cant eff ect on students’ access at

the University of the Western Cape. However, the study fi nds an insignifi cant relationship

between public funding and student access at the University of Ghana.

Thesis:

Experiences of visually impaired mainstreamed learners and their teachers in an inclusive

school in Lesotho

Description:

Nthama Germina Matsie’s thesis explored the experiences of mainstreamed visually

impaired learners in an inclusive school in Lesotho. Matsie’s thesis addresses an area in

which there is a great need for high quality data in the Southern African context and provides

experiential material which is powerful and instructive. From the perspectives of the

participants, practices of their inclusive school system gave them rewarding and detrimental

experiences. The symbolic violence of constant exclusion, of denigration of one’s identity,

and of relentless exposure to anxiety-provoking situations of being denied access to the

curriculum, is an important and central fi nding in Matsie’s thesis.

Thesis:

An investigation of language learning agency in English for Academic Purposes:

The Case of the Malawi University of Science and Technology

Description:

The study while acknowledging the serviceability of English for Academic Purposes,

investigates how its one-size fi ts all teaching and assessment practices ignore the learners’

language learning history and experiences much to the denigration of their agency and

voice in the EAP classroom underlying their learning success. Utilizing the strengths of

theoretical positions couched in critical pedagogy, ecological aff ordances and sociocultural

positioning, the study argues for an EAP pedagogy that empowers and positions transitioning

students for critical learning via their multiple meaning making, agency and voice. The study

generates an array of insights for an advancement of critical EAP learning that can engender

students’ voice and agency for reading the word and reading the world. It then urges EAP

course lecturers to move away from closure-focused EAP practices with a view to augmenting

their critical awareness of their world views.

The academic profession in the rising knowledge societies in Africa: A comparative

analysis of Makerere University and the University of the Western Cape

Description:

This thesis explores the fate of the academic profession in Makerere University in Uganda

and the University of the Western Cape in South Africa. Drawing on the neo-institutional

theory, a cross-national mixed methods design via survey, semi-structured interviews and

document analysis were used to examine the trends in academic research, teaching and

community outreach. The results show that institutional reality specifi c to limited interest and

capacity to innovate, enrolment patterns and donor interests unique to each university

sometimes overrule state infl uence in shaping academics priorities.

Thesis:

Discovery of antibacterial lead compounds from marine organisms

Description:

The rapid emergence of new and antibiotic resistant pathogens together with the slow

development of new antibiotics is creating a global health crisis. Ms Afolayan investigated

natural compounds produced by marine algae and microorganisms as a potential source of

new antibiotics against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Mycobacterium

tuberculosis and Mycobacterium aurum. Using a classical bioassay-guided approach she

isolated, elucidated the structures and evaluated the biological activity of the main

antimicrobial natural products from the marine algae. In addition, she identifi ed the “hidden”

antibiotic potential of the marine bacteria by directly exploring their sequenced genomes

and annotating their biosynthetic gene clusters.

Thesis:

Development of rifampicin loaded in surface-modifi ed 4.0 G PAMAM dendrimer as a

novel anti-tuberculosis pulmonary drug delivery system

Description:

Nanoparticles, such as polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers, are synthetic polymeric

nanoparticles that have unique features that aff ord a dendrimer-conjugate complex the

possibility to overcome the most common hurdles associated with drug delivery. This study

developed a novel pulmonary delivery system for the anti-TB drug rifampicin using surface-

modifi ed G4 PAMAM dendrimer nanoparticles, to improve drug solubility, prolong its release,

enhance permeability into the macrophages, and decrease the toxicity of the drug-dendrimer

conjugates. The in-vitro and ex-vivo data suggests that the developed novel dendrimers are

suitable drug carriers in terms of biocompatibility, release behaviour and site-specifi c delivery.

Thesis:

Marine invertebrate sperm: Assessment of sperm quality using computer aided sperm analysis

Description:

Five species of marine invertebrates or broadcast spawners, were studied. Computer-

aided-sperm analysis was used to analyse sperm morphology and sperm motility that play

an important role in determining sperm quality that relate to fertilization success. The

candidate demonstrated that sperm form played a signifi cant role in sperm hydrodynamics.

For example, the faster a sperm of these broadcast spawners swim, the longer is the head

length, the thinner is the head width and the shorter the tail length. A helical swimming

pattern was a distinctive feature found in all species. However, species-specifi city in the

diameters and helical pattern was seen. The thesis produces quantitative data that will be of

great value in aquaculture and management of the commercial species in the future.

Thesis:

Variability and interannual trends in the climatology of radon-222 at two Southern

Hemisphere coastal baseline sites

Description:

This work studied the measurements of the radioactive gas, radon, that were collected at two

Southern Hemisphere sites. Radon data can help to understand the large-scale atmospheric

circulation patterns that drive events such as extreme droughts and mega-wildfi res.

Observations were made at Cape Grim in Tasmania and at Cape Point in South Africa. Strongly

skewed radon distributions occur, with most events falling into a compact range of low values

(from marine air-masses) and a smaller number of events spread over a wide range of high-

radon values (continental air-masses). Variations in seasonal radon are evident especially

during the period from 2012 to 2017, perhaps associated with the strong El-Niño southern

oscillation centred on 2015. The trends seen indicate changes in circulation patterns over time,

perhaps associated with climate change.

Thesis:

Coding of tsetse repellents by olfactory sensory neurons: towards the improvement and

development of new novel tsetse repellents

Description:

Mr Diallo’s thesis investigated olfaction in Glossina fuscipes fuscipes (Tsetse), vector of

trypanosomiasis. The study showed that Tsetse is equipped with diverse olfactory sensilla;

basiconic, trichoid and coeloconic, and exhibit sexual dimorphism in types and number.

Putative receptors for tsetse repellent components and 1-octen-3-ol (attractant odour) were

identifi ed using a multidisciplinary approach; behaviour, molecular biology, electrophysiology

and bioinformatics. Additionally, using dsRNAi silencing method proved the direct role of

Tsetse odorant binding proteins in the detection and perception of 1-octen-3-ol. The study

signifi cantly contributes to the understanding of tsetse olfaction and to the development of

olfactory based tools for controlling the spread of trypanosomiasis.

Thesis:

Radiation-induced leukaemia in South Africa: response of lymphocytes and CD34+ cells

to diff erent radiation qualities

Description:

Several epidemiological studies have highlighted that the lifetime risk to develop radiation-

induced leukaemia is 3-5 times higher for children compared to adults. The high risk is linked to

the high radiosensitivity of the red bone marrow at young age, which harbours the haematopoietic

stem and progenitor cells (CD34+ cells). In this thesis, CD34+ cells were isolated from umbilical

cord blood and irradiated with photons and fast neutrons. An increased number of initial DNA

DSBs was observed after neutron irradiation, as well as higher levels of cytogenetic damage,

highlighting the leukemogenic potential of neutrons. A second part of the thesis focussed on the

impact of age on radiosensitivity by comparing the DNA damage response of newborn and adult

T-lymphocytes. Signifi cant diff erences were observed between the two types of T-lymphocytes,

which can be linked to the immunophenotypic change of T-lymphocytes with age.

Chemical investigation of some species of Amaryllidaceae from the Greater Cape Region

of South Africa as a source of bioactive compounds

Description:

Amaryllidaceae are known for their content of pharmacologically active alkaloids. The

neuroprotective properties of Boophone haemanthoides (BHE), Crossyne fl ava (CRO), Clivia

miniata (CME) and Nerine humilis (NHE) were investigated for their effi cacy in the treatment of

the neurodegenerative disease Parkinson’s. The chemical investigation of nonpolar constituents

of bulbs of BHE yielded thirteen known compounds. The compounds isolated from BHE and

CRO showed improved cell viability, increased ATP generation in cells and inhibition of MPP+-

induced apoptosis by MPP+. Members of Amaryllidaceae investigated yielded compounds with

high neuroprotection potential, and some showed potent cytotoxicity. More studies are required

to isolate compounds with a special focus on neuroprotective activity.

Thesis:

Optimizing embryo culture conditions and spent culture media analysis as predictors of

embryo quality and pregnancy

Description:

Assisted reproduction is a standard medical treatment of infertility. However, the success rate is still

relatively low. Khalied Kaskar compared single-step and sequential culture media in diff erent

incubators. Single-step media resulted in better blastocyst development. The EmbryoScope

showed slight improvements in embryo development. The single step medium in the EmbryoScop

is the preferred choice for embryo culture. Insulin or IGF-1 media supplementation or 2%O2 culture

did not provide any benefi t to embryo development. The C57 mouse strain is more sensitive and

may be a better model for quality control assays. ORP in spent media indicates that embryos that

developed did not contribute to ROS, but maintained ORP balance. Khalied presented his work at

5 international conferences and a webinar, indicating the high quality of his work.

Cell culture biomarkers for monitoring of wastewater pollutants

Description:

Vedastus did his PhD in an area that is very relevant and important for sustainable livelihoods

namely monitoring of pollutants in water. Water pollution has become a major problem and

this can have adverse eff ects on human, animal and environmental health. Vedastus

developed a cell culture system to evaluate raw and treated effl uents for toxicity and

infl ammatory activity. He published four articles in peer reviewed, international journals on

the data generated from his research and his one examiner commented that his PhD is one

of the top 5 % of theses that she has seen. Adding his newly developed methodologies for

water monitoring to currently used systems will ensure a more holistic view of the water

quality and whether the water can be used for domestic and agricultural use without posing

health risks to consumers.

The infl uence of canopy cover and cultivar on rates of water use in apple orchards in the

Western Cape Province, South Africa

Description:

This thesis investigated water requirements of selected apple cultivars diff er from planting

until the trees reach full-bearing age to improve irrigation management. The results from the

study showed that canopy size rather than cultivar type was the main driver of water use

rates in apple orchards from planting to full-bearing age. Tree transpiration rates were

highest in the high canopy cover orchards, followed by the medium canopy orchards, and

lastly the low canopy cover orchards. This study has provided an improved understanding

of how water use rates of apple cultivars vary with canopy cover. This information assists in

developing guidelines on the water requirements for apple orchards.

Geochemical Evaluation of Source Rock Potentials and Characterization of Hydrocarbon

Occurrences in the Eastern Dahomey Basin, Nigeria

Description:

Mr. Mohammed’s doctoral studies focused on the petroleum source rocks and oil sand/heavy

oil from the Eastern Dahomey Basin, Nigeria. He assessed the organic-rich rocks underlying

the oil sand with a multi-parameter method and evaluated the hydrocarbons using diff erent

techniques. The source rock assessment revealed the dominance of Type II to Type III

kerogen, and the various complementary maturation analysis all showed the source rocks to

be thermally immature. The study of oil sand and heavy oil indicated severe widespread

biodegradation. His fi ndings advanced our understanding of the petroliferous Afowo Formation

and may have applications in exploiting and exploring petroleum in the frontier basin.

Thesis:

Biological approach to improving the evaporation rates of mine wastewater desalination

brine treated in evaporation ponds

Description:

The disposal of brine, a by-product of mining operations, is a global problem with adverse

economic and environmental implications. In South Africa brines are disposed of through

evaporation ponds. In this study Anesu investigated the application of pigmented halophilic

bacteria as a more environmentally friendly method for increasing the evaporation rates of

industrial wastewater brines. A novel pigment-producing Planococcus sp. was isolated from

a salt crystallizer pond which improved evaporation rates of mine wastewater by almost

20%. Using genome analyses and chemical mutagenesis, mutants of the strain confi rmed

that the evaporation rate increase was highest when a C30 carotenoid, which was chemically

characterised in this study, was produced by the bacterium. Such a biological approach

represents a sustainable option for the mining industry.

Thesis:

Application of vertically aligned arrays of metal-oxide nanowires in hetero-junction

photovoltaics

Description:

This study was motivated by the global need for clean, renewable energy conversion using

simple technologies. Of particular interest is nanotechnology-based photovoltaic (or solar)

cells which are cheaper and have remote, off -grid potential compared to common silicon

panels. During his research Bello proved that irradiating metal-oxide nanowires with nitrogen

plasma eff ectively improves the ability of the wires to conduct electrons and scatter light-

waves. To demonstrate the practical and commercial potential of these fi ndings, the

irradiated nanowires were subsequently used to fabricate organic polymer solar cells which

exhibited up to 200% improvement in sunlight-to-electricity conversion effi ciency compared

to devices designed with conventional nanomaterials.

Native legume species from the Northern Cape Province of South Africa and their

potential as forage crops

Description:

Using a combination of ecological niche modeling techniques, plant functional traits and

indigenous knowledge, this study identifi ed 18 perennial legume species for further

evaluation as alternative drought tolerant forages for improved livestock production in

water-limited agro-ecological areas. One species, C. sericea, was further screened using

GIS techniques and plant eco-physiological measurements for drought tolerance. Results

from this study verify the potential of C. sericea as a species with a wide range of adaptive

responses to drought allowing it to cope well under drought stress and rapidly recover once

the drought is relieved. This makes C. sericea a good candidate for inclusion into forage

breeding programs for the development of a fodder crop for water-limited areas.

Assessment of the potential of hospital birth records to estimate the number of births:

a case study of Germiston and Nkomazi local municipalities in South-Africa

Description:

Mosidi Nhalpo embarked three years ago on a very ambitious research topic looking at the

quality of births data in South-Africa and at the way to estimate the correct number of births

using hospital birth records. Such a research, never attempted before, is of paramount

importance for the correct estimates of births, in particular, and for the whole population’s

distribution, in general. Mosidi has completed an incredible fi eld work by collecting

thousands of births records from numerous hospitals. By doing so, Mosidi has managed to

fi nd ways to palliate the problem of incorrect birth registration by showing the importance of

hospital records. However, for hospital records to be the source of improvements for birth

register, quality of recording must improve in these health facilities.

Thesis:

The role of p-coumaric acid on the physiological and biochemical response of chia

seedlings under salt stress

Description:

The role of phenolic compounds in regulating plant responses under environmental constraints

have received considerable attention, albeit not in pseudocereal crops. In this thesis, Mr

Mbukeni Nkomo demonstrated the effi cacy of p-coumaric acid to enhance chia seedling

growth under salt stress by evaluating various physiological and molecular responses. He

showed that the p-coumaric acid mediated increase in chia seedling growth under salt stress

was via the activation of a ROS-signalling pathway that involves superoxide under the control

of proline accumulation. In addition, Mr Nkomo identifi ed key proteins biomarkers that

emphasized the role of p-coumaric acid in enhancing plant growth under salt stress conditions.

Some of the research data generate in this study was published in a reputable plant science

journal with signifi cant impact.

Thesis:

Voice and rural wireless mesh community networks: a framework to quantify scalability

and manage end-user smartphone battery consumption

Description:

Mr Shree Om produced a scalability framework to deploy wireless mesh community networks in

rural low-income regions. The fi rst component of the framework is a scalability quantifi cation

model for network engineers to design, deploy, and even re-design any type of wireless mesh

community network while off ering recommended quality of service to end-users. Since rural

users need aff ordable devices to access such services, the second component of the framework

shows how to best confi gure and use low-cost low-end smartphones. Mr Om compared battery

consumption amongst diff erent low-end smartphones in combinations of voice and instant

messaging over WiFi, 2G and 3G networks. The battery management model can be applied to

any type of smartphone and communication application. Together, the two components provide

useful tools to researchers, practitioners and end-users of wireless mesh community networks.

Thesis:

Optimisation of proteomics techniques using archival tumour blocks of a South African

cohort of colorectal cancer

Description:

Sophia’s thesis used formalin-fi xed (FFPE) human colorectal cancer samples to evaluate

protein extraction parameters required for accurate LC-MS/MS analysis. The DRP, SP3/HILIC

protein purifi cation methods performed the best across 1, 5 and 10-year-old tumor-containing

tissue block ages. Older blocks yielded signifi cantly less protein, and protein extraction with

PEG resulted in lower peptide/protein identifi cations. The results indicate that long-term

storage of FFPE tissues does not signifi cantly interfere with retrospective proteomic analysis,

and variations in pre-analytical factors spanning a decade, does not aff ect proteomic

signatures to a signifi cant extent. This work adds signifi cantly to decision-making for

pathologists who want to use archived tumor samples stored in hospitals.
