South-South collaboration has grown significantly over the past decade and can be an important tool to boost development and scientific capacity in Southern countries. This research aims to understand the role of China and India’s collaboration with sub-Saharan African countries’ in health biotechnology development on the African continent. I conducted a scientometric analysis, surveyed biotechnology firms, and interviewed researchers, entrepreneurs, and policy makers to identify the drivers, challenges, and impacts of South-South collaboration in health biotechnology and understand the factors that shape it. The main messages resulting from this study indicate that: China and India are active collaborators of sub-Saharan Africa in technology intensive fields, collaboration in traditional medicine is of high priority, drivers for collaboration with China and India are not uniform, and that shared health concerns are motivate and foster South-South collaboration between sub-Saharan Africa, China and India. This research study illustrates that sub-Saharan Africa can harness South-South collaboration to improve capacity, innovation potentials, and promote the development of health biotechnology solutions appropriate for the African context.

M. Tech. Architectural Technology / South Africans are faced with the challenge of becoming less dependent on fossil-based electricity (which is very commonly used in the heating of homes), because it is not only becoming less affordable, but also less sustainable. Wood-burning fireplaces have developed over thousands of years, and an analysis thereof reveals that a correctly designed and constructed wood-burning masonry fireplace is a valid alternative to electrical heaters. The research design consists of a survey of existing wood-burning masonry fireplaces and chimneys in South Africa. This study investigates a number of design elements, including the size of the room, fireplace, and chimney, as well as the height of the chimney. The traffic patterns that cause draughts, including furniture arrangements, and safety regulations, are also included.

Thesis (MTech. degree in Adventure Tourism) -- Tshwane University of Technology, 2010. / Different adventure activities and experiences constantly evolve because individuals, motives, behaviours, and experiences differ and change over time. The prosperity of an adventure tourism company is based on promoting and selling specific activities and experiences that will meet the specific needs and wants of their identified target markets. The objective was to develop a profile of adventure tourists in Pretoria. In today’s highly competitive environment, it is important for adventure tourism companies to develop profiles based demographic, psychographic and behavioural descriptors in order to attain their objectives. Two hundred and fifty adventure tourists who used the products/services of adventure tourism companies within Pretoria participated in this paper. However, because of incomplete self-completing uestionnaires that could affect the outcome of this paper, the sample that actually realised was 234, providing a 93.6% response rate.

Thesis (MTech. degree in Nursing) / There is growing concern about lack of caring behaviour in midwifery clinical practice from all sectors of health. Internationally and locally, there is increased outcry about lack of care by midwives for childbearing women. The context of the study was midwifery settings where learners of the Adelaide Tambo School of Nursing Science were placed for work-integrated learning at state and private hospitals in Tshwane. The purpose was to explore caring in the clinical practice of midwifery from the perspective of learner midwives, midwifery educators and midwives.

M.Tech. Business Administration. Business School / The Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) is established in terms of the Higher Education Act, 1997 (Act No. 101 of 1997). The institution offers higher education learning and makes use of study material and other sources that are in most instances copyrighted, for example text books, journals etc. Questions that are often asked by lecturing staff are: Who is the copyright owner of the study material? How much of a textbook may be duplicated? How many copies of the works may be made? May I duplicate study material for students etc.? These questions are often difficult to answer because of the complexity of the Copyright Act, the fact that the Act was promulgated in 1978 and the limited availability of case law which interprets the provisions of the Copyright Act.
