The historical figures that led the struggle for the liberations of their countries were heavily influenced by modernist European theories, as well as many ancient traditions kept alive by the African people. For almost thirty years, Angola faced a bloody civil war between its many different nationalist movements and their political and national agendas. This thesis analyses both the manifestation and constant reshuffle of Jonas Malheiro Savimbi?s nationalist speeches between his early political years (late 1950?s) and the end of the Cold War (late 1980?s). Founder and leader of the Uni?o Nacional para a Independ?ncia Total de Angola (UNITA), Savimbi?s political and nationalist stances are analyzed not only by their historical contexts, but also by their correlation with theories that seek to examine the many forms and social manifestations taken by the notion of nationalism and national identity. Considering this twofold analytic perspective, this thesis intends to underline the importance of Jonas Savimbi?s legacy to the process of nation building in Angola. / O processo de forma??o nacional dos estados africanos foi, durante a metade final do s?culo XX, profundamente influenciado pela rela??o entre ideologias provenientes de dois mundos completamente diferentes. Os atores hist?ricos que conduziram as lutas e os esfor?os de liberta??o de seus pa?ses foram, por um lado, fortemente influenciados pelas teorias de cunho modernista oriundas do continente europeu, e por outro, pelas ancestrais tradi??es mantidas pelos povos de seu continente. No caso angolano, o pa?s presenciou um sangrento clash ideol?gico proveniente desta dualidade conceitual. Os diferentes projetos nacionais mantidos pelos seus movimentos de liberta??o desencadearam, por quase trinta anos, um sangrento conflito civil. Esta disserta??o pretende, portanto, analisar a manifesta??o e remodela??o dos discursos nacionalistas produzidos por Jonas Malheiro Savimbi ? fundador e antigo l?der da Uni?o Nacional para a Independ?ncia Total de Angola (UNITA) ? entre os primeiros anos de sua carreira pol?tica (final da d?cada de 1950) e o fim do per?odo da Guerra Fria (finais de 1980). Os posicionamentos pol?ticos e ideol?gicos manifestados por Savimbi s?o analisados a partir de seu contexto hist?rico e de sua rela??o com estudos te?ricos que exploram as diversas facetas do nacionalismo e da identidade nacional. Com base nessa jun??o de perspectivas de an?lise, pretende-se explorar a import?ncia do legado da figura pol?tica de Jonas Savimbi para a forma??o nacional de Angola.

Department of Geography amd Geo-Information Sciences / PhDGEO / This study set out to evaluate the extent of land use change, competition and conflict in Polokwane city and in selected land restitution areas of Limpopo province. The methods of data collection and analysis included document analysis, triangulation of quantitative and qualitative survey methods, use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) techniques and field observations. The restitution studies relied on information from the regional land claims commission regarding land dispossessions, land claims and post settlement activities which were analysed using content analysis. Land use maps and data from department of land affairs were obtained covering different time periods from 1994 to 2002 and GIS analysis was used to document land use change, competition and conflicts. A questionnaire survey involving a sample of 240 residents, 164 business people and 16 government officials was conducted and analysed quantitatively to establish perceptions and experiences with land use changes. In-depth interviews with key informants were also conducted and information analysed qualitatively. The researcher also engaged in extensive field observations in the city and surrounding land restitution areas. The study found that both Polokwane city and the surrounding land reform areas were characterised by rapid land use change, competing interests, conflict, disputes and tensions related to access, control and use of land resources historically and currently. Other key findings include the fact that the structure of Polokwane area is a result of apartheid planning. It has a distorted spatial pattern, the result of political factors that can be identified as: a legacy of apartheid; land use policy; competition among potential users; inadequate legislation and planning; low provisions for land use control and rezoning; land use speculation and lack of adequate public participation in the planning processes. Polokwane interaction with the rural areas is inadequate and does not support development of these areas leading to persistent service delivery issues. A management strategy is recommended with the following features: Capacity building, Conflict resolution, Stakeholders participation and Governance. Adequate land use control mechanism need to be put in place; public policies should minimise conflicts between alternative land development strategies; existing policies and procedures applicable to land management should be reviewed. An effective national land reform programme is required to drive development; public participation is key in all planning activities. Mediation is essential because it is a more efficient and less costly means of concluding land use conflicts. Polokwane needs to play a greater role in managing land use, changes, competition and conflicts both in the capital city and in the surrounding rural areas.

We studied the works of Andr? Alvares de Almada, the "Tratado Breve dos Rios da Guin? do Cabe Verde, d?s do Rio de Sanag? at? os baixos de Santa Ana de todas as na??es de negros que h? na dita costa e de seus costumes, armas, trajos, juramentos, guerras? of 1594, as the principal historiographical source, and also the works of Andr? Donelha, " Descri??o da Serra Leoa e dos Rios de guin? do cabo verde?, 1625 and Francisco Lemos Coelho, ?Descri??o da costa da Guine desde o Cabo Verde athe Serra Lioa com todas as ilhas e rios que os brancos navegam?, of 1669; e ?Discrip??o da Costa de Guin?, e situa??o de todos os portos e rios della, e roteyro para se poderem navegar todos seus rios?, of 1684. The concept "Guinea of Cape Verde" acquired official character for the Portuguese Kingdom and defined the region of the Atlantic African coast between the Senegal river and the south of present-day Sierra Leone on the border of Guine Conakry. The work presents the historical context of the sources, participant in the specific Guinea of Cape Verde?s commercial and cultural relations. As the human being is considered an active agent and a subject of the nature, we argued that the exchanges, appropriations and circulation of knowledge related to the flora are multilateral. It was analyzed how the plants take part in the commercial, productive and environmental relations of the region and the way in which the authors present their uses and specificities, using examples such as rice, kola nut and cotton. Lastly, we seek to understand how the flora partakes of social, political and religious relations in the region, and how this knowledge circulates among African, Portuguese-African and Portuguese diverse populations, generating new ways of interpreting the natural world. / O presente trabalho busca compreender os diversos usos de plantas entre as popula??es africanas, luso-africanas e portuguesas na regi?o denominada ?Guin? do Cabo Verde?, no per?odo do s?culo XV ao XVII. Para a pesquisa analisou-se a obras de Andr? Alvares de Almada, o ?Tratado Breve dos Rios da Guin? do Cabe Verde, d?s do Rio de Sanag? at? os baixos de Santa Ana de todas as na??es de negros que h? na dita costa e de seus costumes, armas, trajos, juramentos, guerras? de 1594, como fonte historiogr?fica principal e tamb?m as obras de Andr? Donelha, ?Descri??o da Serra Leoa e dos Rios de guin? do cabo verde?, de 1625 e de Francisco Lemos Coelho, ?Descri??o da costa da Guine desde o Cabo Verde athe Serra Lioa com todas as ilhas e rios que os brancos navegam?, de 1669; e ?Discrip??o da Costa de Guin?, e situa??o de todos os portos e rios della, e roteyro para se poderem navegar todos seus rios?, de 1684. O conceito ?Guin? do Cabo Verde? assumiu car?ter oficial para a Coroa portuguesa e definia a regi?o da costa atl?ntica africana que fica entre o rio Senegal e o sul da atual Serra Leoa em fronteira com a Guin? Conacri. Apresenta-se o contexto hist?rico das fontes utilizadas, participante das rela??es comerciais e culturais espec?ficas de ?Guin? do Cabo Verde?. Percebe-se o ser humano como agente ativo e sujeito da natureza e defende-se que as trocas, apropria??es e circula??o dos conhecimentos relacionado a flora tem fluidez multilateral. Analisou-se como as plantas participam das rela??es comercias, produtivas e ambientais da regi?o e a forma com que os autores apresentam seus usos e especificidades, utilizando exemplos como o arroz, a noz de cola e o algod?o. E por fim busca-se compreender o quando a flora participa das rela??es sociais, pol?ticas e religiosas na regi?o e como estes conhecimentos circulam entre as diversas popula??es africanas, luso-africanas e portuguesas, gerando novas formas de interpretar o mundo natural.

Thus, we attempt to determine the correlation between the Brazilian geopolitical thinking inherited from the military period and the volume / nature of the economic flows between Brazil and Africa, especially regarding the behavior of Brazilian foreign trade with African countries. In practice, there is the emergence of trade relations with countries located in an arc outside the more traditional Atlantic, although it still appears in broad focus. This new regionalization of trade Brazil ? Africa, especially for goods of higher technological content, you still need to show some survival guide for new long-term diplomatic actions. / A formula??o e aperfei?oamento da pol?tica externa brasileira exige a elabora??o de uma regionaliza??o mundial a partir de uma perspectiva dos interesses nacionais brasileiros.

O primeiro discute os pressupostos considerados orientadores no desenvolvimento deste trabalho, como os sentidos do termo teologia, seu objeto, suas fontes tradicionais e a teologia em contexto. Este cap?tulo aborda, ainda, os conceitos de Teologia Africana e de Teologia Afro-americana, onde se destaca o valor da religi?o tradicional africana como fonte principal do estudo da experi?ncia africana de Deus, para a Teologia Africana e das religi?es afro-americanas para a Teologia Afro-americana, porque se acredita haver, nelas, Sementes do Verbo e consideradas fundo cultural das popula??es negras. A B?blia, a Tradi??o, o Magist?rio da Igreja, a escravid?o negra, a antropologia africana e as religi?es africanas, a mulher, o ax? e as experi?ncias de formas culturais de vida, arte, fam?lia, hospitalidade, vida comunit?ria enquanto express?o de sentimentos profundos de amor e de carinho, s?o fontes destas teologias. O segundo cap?tulo discute as carater?sticas cultural, hist?rica e eclesial de cada teologia envolvida neste estudo, onde se demonstra que ambas teologias se caraterizam tamb?m pelas tarefas e desafios que cada uma delas executa e enfrenta em seu contexto. Finalmente, se explica suas semelhan?as e diferen?as, estas resultantes de contextos diferentes, donde emergem tarefas e desafios diversos. Pode-se concluir que este estudo comparativo se deparou com problemas de origem cultural e hist?rica, como, por exemplo, os antepassados, a poligamia e o sincretismo religioso afro-americano, que desafiam ? miss?o evangelizadora da Igreja, particularmente, a incultura??o do Evangelho.

Thesis (M.Sc. (Agric.)) --University of Limpopo, 2010 / The objectives of the study were to estimate genetic parameters for tick resistance and to evaluate the effect of the level of tick infestation on the estimates of genetic parameters in South African Bonsmara cattle. Field data of repeated tick count records (n = 11 280) on 1 176 animals were collected between 1993 and 2005 by ten breeders participating in the National Beef Recording and Improvement Scheme. The distribution of tick count records were normalized using a Box-Cox transformation. Data were divided into 7 sub-data sets based on the mean tick count per contemporary group, to facilitate the investigation of the effect of level of tick infestation on the derived genetic parameters. A repeatability animal model including the fixed effects of contemporary group and age of animal at tick counting and random effects of the direct additive genetic, permanent environmental and residual effects was used to estimate genetic parameters using REML procedures. The additive genetic variances for tick count ranged from 0.01 to 0.08. Variances for the permanent environment ranged from 0.00 to 0.03. Phenotypic variance decreased with increasing mean tick count level while additive genetic variance increased with increasing mean tick count level. The heritability also increased with mean tick count level until a mean tick count level of ≥30. The highest heritability estimate obtained in the current study was 0.17 for data with mean tick count level ≥25. These results suggest that sufficient genetic variation for tick count exists in the Bonsmara cattle. Therefore genetic selection for tick resistance is feasible even though genetic progress may be slow. / the Limpopo Department of Agriculture (LDA) and the Department of Science and Technology (DST)

Thus, we assay Cadornega?s work between text and context, exploring his many and ambiguous ?Angolas?, that are at the same time Portuguese, Bragantine, Flemish, exiled, enslaved and sobas. In the first part of the thesis we highlight the author?s experience as a writer since his departure from Lisbon until his arrival in Angola, his participation in the slave markets and the building of his networks with the local elites. The second part assesses the many different manuscripts of the HGGA in which the authorship was attributed to Cadornega and that form the current collection of some Institutions such as the National Library of France, the British Library, the Lisbon Science Academy, National Library of Portugal and the Public Library of ?vora. In the last part we analyse the writing itself of Cadornega?s work: its ambiguities, keywords, concepts, repetitions, and style. The three parts of the thesis are composed by seventeen chapters and as a general perception considers that the Cadornega?s work was dedicated to the king Pedro II of Portugal given the author?s links with the dynastic house of Braganza, but mainly given the fact the Cadornega, being a new-Christian, was constantly in need to keep himself away from the Portuguese Inquisition in a time of political and administrative changes in the Portuguese African colonies. For him, staying in ?Angola? was a matter of survival. / O presente trabalho de pesquisa analisa o sentido da escrita dos manuscritos da obra Hist?ria Geral das Guerras Angolanas cuja autoria ? do portugu?s, crist?o-novo e degredado Ant?nio de Oliveira de Cadornega. Para tanto, consideramos a obra de Oliveira de Cadornega entre texto e contexto, e problematizamos ?Angola? enquanto um conceito, com todas as pluralidades e ambiguidades que isso acarreta. Na primeira parte desse trabalho priorizamos as experi?ncias de escrita do autor, ou os contextos desde o embarque de Cadornega em Lisboa, at? sua chegada em Angola, bem como seu estabelecimento e inser??o no mercadejo de escravaria e elite local. A segunda parte desse trabalho observa as diversas vers?es dos manuscritos da HGGA que se tem not?cia e cuja autoria ? ou foi atrelada a Cadornega, e comp?em atualmente o acervo de institui??es como a Biblioth?que Nationale de France, a British Library, a Academia das Ci?ncias de Lisboa, a Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal e a Biblioteca P?blica de ?vora. Na terceira e ?ltima parte desse trabalho debru?amo-nos em analisar o texto de Oliveira de Cadornega e o visibilizamos como um historiador, compreendendo as suas ambiguidades, palavras-chave, repeti??es, tons e estilos. As tr?s partes desse trabalho est?o divididas em dezessete cap?tulos, e consideram que a obra de Oliveira de Cadornega foi escrita e dedicada a D. Pedro II em fun??o das rela??es que o autor possu?a com a Casa din?stica dos Bragan?as, mas principalmente por Cadornega ser um crist?o-novo que necessitava manter-se apartado da inquisi??o em um momento de substitui??o do oficialato nas col?nias. Para Cadornega permanecer em ?Angola? era uma quest?o de sobreviv?ncia.
