Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. / Biology, having outgrown its purely descriptive phase, has, for nearly a century, been in an era of causal analysis. It has been a period of extreme compartmentalisation of the general field into many disciplines, each endowed with a defined range of problems, with peculiar materials of study and with special approaches and techniques.From the nature of things, it is inevitable that each biologist should have been a specialist. The field of living things ramified so vastly that the species of scientist known as the biologist or naturalist became largely extinct: instead, there were geneticists, systematists, physiologists, embryologists, biochemists, cytologlsts and others. Specialisation did not stop even at that point for the systematists split into mammalogists, ornithologists, helminthologists, etc.; the geneticists into experimental geneticists, cytogeneticists, phenogenetlclsts, and so on. Good and bad consequences flowed from this tendency. The advantage of specialisation was a great increase in the store of factual information; the disadvantage lay in the isolation between representatives of the various disciplines and in the absence of cross-pollination in the development and evaluation of concepts. / WHSLYP2017

Certain investigations were undertaken on the kidneys of various birds using that of the domestic fowl, as a type; and, where possible, comparing the results with those reported for other classes of animals. The vascular system was considered, to establish the statement of Spanner (1924), that the bird kidney possesses a renal portal system. Embryological, histological, and anatomical evidence, were brought forward in favour of this venous arrangement. The histology was examined with different techniques. In this connection, a comparative examination of fixation fluids was undertaken, as difficulty was experienced in the histological examination of bird kidney tissue. The histological results indicated some degree of glomerular degeneration and an Increase in proximal tubule development as compared to that of the mammal. Cytological studies were carried out on mitochondria and the Golgi apparatus. The mitochondria of the domestic fowl, and the pigeon, showed great concentration in the cells of the proximal tubule. The Golgi apparatus was investigated in the fowl; and showed a development in the cells of the proximal segment of the nephron, in excess of that in the mammal. The conclusion deduced from both these cytological studies, indicated an increase in activity of the proximal segment in the bird, over that of the mammal. A histochemical test using alkaline phosphatase, was performed, to decide whether the reported glomerular degeneration in the bird is such that glucose elimination is reduced or absent. Alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme stated to assist in the reabsorption of glucose eliminated by glomerular filtration. The results were compared with those of the classes possessing good glomerular development. It was noted that the avian kidney shows considerable evidence of alkaline phosphatase activity. Two conclusions are reached: (1) That the bird kidney shows definite evidence of tubular activity. (2) That in spite of apparent signs of degeneration, the glomerulus in the avian kidney functions comparably to that of the mammal. / Science, Faculty of / Zoology, Department of / Graduate

In economic development there are many theories and practices that aim to best improve the vitality of cities, regions, and areas. Among such theories, few have been as widely celebrated and, at the same time, heavily scrutinized as Richard Florida’s Creative Class hypothesis (Florida, 2004). The Creative Class hypothesis associates the preferences of creative class workers (ie: highly skilled workers) closely with concentrations lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people, which is used to represent open and tolerance social climates. The Creative Class was measured by Florida as a collection of occupations derived from Census data that he defined as occupations that involve a high amount of problem solving capability by the worker (Florida, 2004). Mainly this occupation classification excludes low-skill labor, but includes occupations such as Artists, Writers, Actors as well as Researchers (both hard and soft science), Professors, Architects and Lawyers just to name a few (Florida, 2004). This research aims to evaluate the relationship between concentrations of LGBT people and any economic benefits a region might experience as a result of being home to an open and tolerant social climate. In general, I find that there is little correlation between high concentrations of same sex unmarried partners and regional differences in per capita income and unemployment. For instance, when holding constant outliers with high concentrations of same sex couples, the data measuring economic benefit is not greatly affected, but when variables showing educational and occupational effects are introduced, the difference is more dramatic. There is, however, a strong correlation between the concentration same sex households with both educational attainment and Creative Class occupations. Thus, although the relationship between same sex unmarried partners and short-run economic performance is weak, it is still important that there is some kind of relationship that is present and that this is just one of many moving parts that can be helpful to developing economic development policy. This statement does not seek to replace certain occupational diversity and educational attainment as major economic development core long-term strategies, but offers a different perspective on what to consider when discussing such policy.
