Eli nqaku ligxile ekugrombonceni, ngeembono zelingwistiki, malunga nezizathu ezikhokelela ekutshabalaleni kolwimi ekungaba sisiXhosa, isiZulu, Xitsonga njalo – oko kukuthi, iilwimi zomthonyama. IsiThako Sokufa Kolwimi sisetyenziswa njengesithako esigqwesayo ukubonisa ukuba iingxaki zokufa kudala zikho. Nakubeni kunjalo, inqaku eli limi kwimbono ethi ufundonzulu ngokutshaba ngumba omtsha nakuben...

Tibetans in Lhasa negotiate development, as a hegemonic project, through idioms animated by situated practices and historically sedimented memories. Two related idioms through which development is experienced are a pervasive trope of Tibetan indolence and one that describes Tibetans as being spoiled. A Gramscian analysis of contradictory consciousness is critical to understanding the trope of i...

Dependently typed λ-calculi such as the Edinburgh Logical Framework (LF) can encode relationships between terms in types and can naturally capture correspondences between formulas and their proofs. Such calculi can also be given a logic programming interpretation: the system is based on such an interpretation of LF. We have considered whether a conventional logic programming language can also p...

Within the literature on the evaluation of health (policy) interventions, complexity is a much-debated issue. In particular, many claim that so-called 'complex interventions' pose different challenges to evaluation studies than apparently 'simple interventions' do. Distinct ways of doing evaluation entail particular ontologies and epistemologies of complexity. They differ in terms of whether th...

Despite more than 25 documented outbreaks of Ebola since 1976, our understanding of the disease is limited, in particular the social, political, ecological, and economic forces that promote (or limit) its spread. In the following study, we seek to provide new ways of understanding the 2013-2016 Ebola pandemic. We use the term, 'pandemic,' instead of 'epidemic,' so as not to elide the global for...

the present study was an attempt to investigate varieties of cloze test and c-test as measures of reading comprehension ability. it aimed at comparing the performances of subjects on different cloze and c-test forms constructed from the same passage. to this end, five versions of cloze test and two versions of c-test were developed by applying different deletion techniques and deletion rates, a...

Transactional Memory (TM) is a synchronization model for parallel programming which provides optimistic concurrency control. Transactions can run in and are only serialized case of conflict. In this article we use hardware TM (HTM) to implement an speculative barrier (SB) replace the lock-based...
