In this paper we map new ways of supporting and capacitating novice supervisors. During the COVID 19 pandemic, hosted weekly online collaborative workshops designed to reflect on a process common learning, in which established supervisors engaged with discussed their individual supervisory needs. This revealed, particular clarity, complexities mentoring at University Technology (UoT) enabled development Sisonke Supervision Mentoring Programme (SSMP). identification key aspects offers insight...
The food and nutrition challenges in Cape Town are complex reflect historical legacies of colonialism apartheid as well the impact contemporary neoliberal policy leading to extremes socio-economic status. right is enshrined South African constitution, yet there an intersection between food, gender injustice that prevails marginalised communities Town, which regarded be one most unequal cities world facing great social vulnerability. Rapid urbanisation, climate change, intensity droughts...
In this paper we study epistemological transitions across an intended engineering curriculum and recommend strategies to assist students in attaining the increasingly complex concepts insights that are necessary for transition advanced levels of study. We draw on Legitimation Code Theory [Maton, Karl. 2014, Knowledge Knowers: Towards a Realist Sociology Education. Abingdon: Routledge], particular dimensions sematic gravity semantic density, explain these transitions. Data was obtained from...

Abstract Background Cerebral white matter lesions (WMLs) in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) are associated the death of myelin-producing oligodendrocytes. MS treatment strategies aim to limit WML accumulation and disability progression. It is commonly accepted that nutrition one possible environmental factors involved pathogenesis MS, but its role as a complementary unclear and, large extent, ignored. Objective A pilot case control study over 10 year period ascertain whether dietary-...
The prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has increased in South Africa, emphasizing the importance prevention strategies. This study used echocardiography to investigate impact Rooibos on function those at risk CVD. research aims contribute understanding its effects reducing factors. design involved a 12-week randomized, parallel, double-blinded, placebo-controlled dietary intervention trial using capsules containing standardized water-soluble extracts green and traditional fermented...
Background: Lipid metabolism may impact disability in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). Methods: Fifty-one pwMS entered an ultrasound and MRI study, of whom 19 had followed a pathology-supported genetic testing program for more than 10 years (pwMS-ON). Genetic variation, blood biochemistry, vascular flow velocities, diet exercise were investigated. Results: PwMS-ON significantly lower (p < 0.01) (Expanded Disability Status Scale) not on the (1.91 ± 0.75 vs 3.87 2.32). A variant lipid...

The findings support prior research on shows that students accumulate knowledge behaviors their sending institution enable progress the receiving institution. Background: Institutional arrangements processes, inclusive cultures practices, social integration, clear requirements of who go from two-year colleges similar follow programs at...
South African higher education has, for the last twenty years, attempted to confront legacy its past, particularly lack of access science, technology, engineering and mathematics-based (STEM) by vast majority potential students. The current policy environment is dominated a drive towards high skills jobs innovation that links research new forms production services. With promulgation `Higher Education Qualifications Sub-framework' (HEQSF, 2013) in Africa there has been considerable curriculum...
Abstract: Chronic exposure to stress throughout the lifespan has been focus of many studies on Alzheimer's disease (AD) because similarities between biological mechanisms involved in chronic and pathophysiology AD. In fact, earliest abnormality associated with is presence phosphorylated tau protein locus coeruleus neurons, a brain structure highly responsive perceived threat. Here, we introduce allostatic load as useful concept for understanding complex, interacting neuropathological changes...
