A systemic functional analysis of two Truth and Reconciliation Commission testimonies: transitivity and genreHattingh, Nathalie January 2011 (has links)
<p>This thesis examines how two narrators construe their experiences of the same events differently through the linguistic choices that they make, through a systemic functional analysis, as well as a genre analysis of two testimonies. The Human Rights Violations (HRV) hearings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) allowed testifiers to tell stories of their experiences during apartheid. The selected testimonies refer to the events that led up to the arrest and eventual torture of Faried Muhammad Ferhelst, as told by himself and his mother, Minnie Louisa Ferhelst. Theframeworks used to analyse the testimonies are drawn from the transitivity and genre theories of Systemic Functional Linguistics. A clausal analysis of the transitivity patterns is used to compare the ways in which the testifiers construct their identities and roles when recounting their stories. The transitivity analysis of both testimonies shows that both Mrs Ferhelst and Faried Ferhelst construe themselves as the Affected participant through Material, Mental and Verbal clauses, and construe the police as the Causers, mostly through Material clauses. A genre analysis revealed that both testimonies took the form of narratives, in particular the Recount, a typical genre for relating narratives of personal experience. This research project also explores how the original Afrikaans versions of the testimonies differ from the translated English versions, available online on the TRC website. The Afrikaans versions were transcribed by the researcher from  / audio-visual records. A transitivity analysis reveals that the interpretation of the Afrikaans testimonies is fairly accurate, with a minimum loss of meaning. Thus in the case of these testimonies, the  / actual online record in English is an accurate reflection of their stories.</p>

Mechanical Behaviour under Tensile Loading of Textile Reinforced Concrete with Short FibresBarhum, Rabea, Mechtcherine, Viktor January 2011 (has links)
This treatise addresses the influence of the addition of short dispersed and integral fibres made of alkali-resistant glass on the fracture behaviour of textile-reinforced concrete (TRC). A series of uniaxial, deformation-controlled tension tests was performed to study the strength-, deformation-, and fracturebehaviour of thin, narrow plates made of TRC both with and without the addition of short fibres. Furthermore, uniaxial tension tests on specimens reinforced with only short fibres and single-fibre pullout tests were carried out to gain a better understanding of crack-bridging behaviour, which suppresses crack growth and widening. Various effects of the addition of short fibre on the stress-strain relationship and cracking behaviour of TRC were observed and discussed with reference to microscopic investigation of fractured surfaces.

Optimum design of one way concrete slabs cast against Textile Reinforced Concrete Stay-in-Place Formwork ElementsPapantoniou, Ioannis, Papanicolaou, Catherine, Triantafillou, Thanasis 03 June 2009 (has links)
This study presents a conceptual design process for one-way reinforced concrete slabs cast over Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) Stay-in-Place (SiP) formwork elements, aiming at the minimization of the composite slab cost satisfying Ultimate Limit State (ULS) and Serviceability Limit State (SLS) design criteria. The thin-walled TRC element is considered to participate in the structural behaviour of the composite slab. This distinct function of the TRC element (as formwork and as a part of a composite element) distinguishes the design procedure into two States: a Temporary and a Permanent one. Design parameters such as the type of the textile reinforcement (material), the geometry of the TRC cross-section, the flexural strength of the fine-grained concrete in the TRC element and the compressive strength of the cast in-situ concrete are considered as the main optimization variables.

Kleben textilbewehrter BetonbauteilePiegeler, Dirk, Pak, Daniel, Geßler, Achim, Feldmann, Markus, Schoene, Jens, Reisgen, Uwe 03 June 2009 (has links)
Ziel der Arbeiten ist die Entwicklung von Verbindungsgeometrien für ebene, textilbewehrte Betonbauteile auf Basis der Klebtechnik. Zur Charakterisierung des Tragverhaltens geeigneter Verbindungen werden umfangreiche experimentelle Verbunduntersuchungen auf Garn- und Bauteilebene durchgeführt. Mit den so gestalteten Verbindungen mit nachträglichem Verguss lassen sich die Referenzlasten des ungestörten Bauteils erreichen, wobei eine weitere Optimierung der Klebung zur Gewährleistung einer vereinfachten Herstellbarkeit und eines reproduzierbaren Versagensverhaltens anzustreben ist.

Die bydrae van die gereformeerde kerklied tot versoening en eenheid in 'n multikulturele Suid-Afrika / Erasmus Johannes SmitSmit, Erasmus Johannes January 2007 (has links)
The two most prominent cultures that continue to have a defining influence on the
socio-political developments in a multi-cutural South African society, are the Western
and African cultures. Because of the differences between these two cultures and the
respective roles members of each culture have played in the socio-political history of
South Africa (especially with regard to the rise and fall of apartheid), conflict and
alienation in most cases define the relationship between members of these cultures.
Not only does it negatively impact on the multi-cultural society of South Africa as
such, it also has far-reaching Implications for the continent as a whole, seeing that
South Africa Is regarded as the economical and political powerhouse of Africa upon
which are pinned the hopes of millions for a better life. As a result, the importance of
reconciliation and unity in the multi-cultural South African society cannot be overemphasized.
It is a Biblical imperative that all members of society should live together in peace
and harmony. To this end, the church is commanded to serve the reconciliation of
Christ to the world (2 Corinthians 5:11-21). One of the instruments to the dlsposal of
the reformed churches in South Africa for the completion of this mission, is the
liturgical song. The reformed liturgical song consists of poetry (text) and music
(melody) which are woven together in such a way that the text of the song is carried
directly into the heart of the singer or listener. The combined power of poetry and
music provides the church with a powerful therapeutic and communicative instrument
by which the truth of the gospel of Christ can effectively be proclaimed to the world.
A closer look at the current situation in the multi-cultural South African society reveals
that the reformed churches in South Africa (of both Western and African
backgrounds) haven't as yet properly played their part in the attaining of
reconciliation and unity in society. The central question for research in this study,
therefore, is the following:
In what way can the reformed liturgical song contribute to the attainment of
the ideal of reconciliation and unity in the multi-cultural South African society?
The research in this study is structured according to the model for Practical Theology
that was developed by Zerfass (1974:164-177). This model entails that specific base theoretical
principles are compared with meta-theoretical perspectives to eventually
arrive at a theory of practice from which is derived a new set of practical guidelines.
In Part 1 of this study, research centres around the base-theoretical principles with regard to culture, multi-culturality, reconciliation, unity, reformed worship and liturgical
song, In Part 2 meta-theoretical perspectives are given with regard to culture and
multi-culturality in South Africa, reconciliation and unity in the South African context,
as well as reformed worship and the use of liturgical song in the multi-cultural South
African society. In Part 3 a theory of practice is articulated in which a new set of
practical guidelines for the use of the reformed liturgical song towards the attaining of
reconciliation and unity in the multi-cultural South African society is given.
Finally it is concluded that, with certain adjustments, the reformed liturgical song can
effectively be used as an instrument for attaining reconciliation and unity in the multicultural
South African society. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Liturgics))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2007

Truth Commissions and Public Inquiries: Addressing Historical Injustices in Established DemocraciesStanton, Kim Pamela 01 September 2010 (has links)
In recent decades, the truth commission has become a mechanism used by states to address historical injustices. However, truth commissions are rarely used in established democracies, where the commission of inquiry model is favoured. I argue that established democracies may be more amenable to addressing historical injustices that continue to divide their populations if they see the truth commission mechanism not as a unique mechanism particular to the transitional justice setting, but as a specialized form of a familiar mechanism, the commission of inquiry. In this framework, truth commissions are distinguished from other commissions of inquiry by their symbolic acknowledgement of historical injustices, and their explicit “social function” to educate the public about those injustices in order to prevent their recurrence. Given that Canada has established a Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) on the Indian Residential Schools legacy, I consider the TRC’s mandate, structure and ability to fulfill its social function, particularly the daunting challenge of engaging the non-indigenous public in its work. I also provide a legal history of a landmark Canadian public inquiry, the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry, run by Tom Berger. As his Inquiry demonstrated, with visionary leadership and an effective process, a public inquiry can be a pedagogical tool that promotes social accountability for historical injustices. Conceiving of the truth commission as a form of public inquiry provides a way to consider the transitional justice literature on truth commissions internationally along with the experiences of domestic commissions of inquiry to assemble strategies that may assist the current TRC in its journey.
