- Description: Interactivity is a distinguishing feature of the online environment but online newspapers have been slow in recognising interactivity as an essential condition of effective Web communication. Existing research show online newspapers generally offer few and token interactive options. This research explored interactivity in online journalism using Nigeria's online Guardian as a case study exploring the nature, levels and utilisation of interactivity and interactive features on the site. This study found that few interactive options are offered in Nigeria's online Guardian and those interactive options on offer just produced an illusion of interactivity; it was apparent that little effort was made to give interactive options on the site the significant attention they deserve. The study highlighted the difference between the availability and use of interactive features on an online newspaper site: the mere presence of such features does not necessarily speak to the levels or nature of interactivity on the site. The difficulty in obtaining findings for the qualitative aspect of this study spoke significantly to the findings in light of the fact that these were attempts using interactive options provided by the newspaper site. They stress what relevant literature highlights: the mere presence of interactive features is not in itself interactivity . Factors contributing to the low levels of interactivity in Nigeria's online Guardian include lack of technical expertise plus human and financial resources and the persistence of a mindset that hinders the development and integration of new information communication technologies and interactivity in online journalism. Theoretically, the possibilities are vast but the likelihood of translating theory into reality appears slim. For Nigeria's online Guardian to become interactive in a participatory way, it must undergo changes and choices about values, goals and standards. There must be a shift in attitudes and approaches towards news-content production and delivery as well as the problematic commercial aspects of electronic publishing routines and the effect of such choices on management and newsroom organisation.

- Description: For a fuzzy uniform space, the notion of a Cauchy prefilter, a precompact fuzzy set, a complete fuzzy set and a bounded fuzzy set are defined in such a way that these notions are good extensions of the corresponding notions for a uniform space. A theory of fuzzy uniform spaces is developed which generalises the theory of uniform spaces.

While the majority of UNINET-ZA sites are now TCP/IP connected, elements of the original gatewaying techniques are still fulfilling useful functions - for example a TCP/IP <=> FidoNet gateway, and links into non-Unix, non-TCP/IP based systems.

- Description: Various notions of compactness in a fuzzy topological space have been introduced by different authors. The aim of this thesis is to compare them. We find that in a T₂ space (in the sense that no fuzzy net converges to two fuzzy points with different supports) all these notions are equivalent for the whole space. Furthermore, for N-compactness and f-compactness (being the only notions that are defined for an arbitrary fuzzy subset) we have equivalence under a stronger condition, namely, a T₂ space in the sense that every prime prefilter has an adherence that is non-zero in at most one point

A uniformity is a filter with some other conditions and the notion of a uniformity D ∈ 2²xxx has been extended to that of a : fuzzy uniformity d ∈ 1²xxx , generalised uniformity ∈ 1²xxx and super uniformity b ∈ 1¹x. We establish categorical embeddings from the category of uniform spaces into the categories of fuzzy uniform spaces, generalised uniform spaces and super uniform spaces and also categorical embeddings into the category of super uniform spaces from the categories of fuzzy uniform spaces and generalised uniform spaces.

- Description: In this thesis we first extend the notion of fuzzy normality to the notion of normality of a fuzzy subgroup in another fuzzy group. This leads to the study of normal series of fuzzy subgroups, and this study includes solvable and nilpotent fuzzy groups, and the fuzzy version of the Jordan-Hõlder Theorem. Furthermore we use the notion of normality to study products and direct products of fuzzy subgroups. We present a notion of fuzzy isomorphism which enables us to state and prove the three well-known isomorphism theorems and the fact that the internal direct product of two normal fuzzy subgroups is isomorphic to the external direct product of the same fuzzy subgroups. A brief discussion on fuzzy subgroups generated by fuzzy subsets is also presented, and this leads to the fuzzy version of the Basis Theorem. Finally, the notion of direct product enables us to study decomposable and indecomposable fuzzy subgroups, and this study includes the fuzzy version of the Remak-Krull-Schmidt Theorem.

The missionary work of the first Anglican Bishop of Natal, the Rt. Reverend John William Colenso, between the years 1852-1873

- Description: At the outset it had been my intention to make only the slightest of references to the Church Controversy in which Bishop Colenso was involved and to have touched only lightly on his theological position. Apart from anything else I hesitated to enter the arena in which so many had already collided violently and where my own prejudices might be enlisted on one side or the other. It became evident however that Colenso the Controversialist, the Theologian could not be dissociated from Colenso the missionary, without giving an inadequate, and even misleading history of his missionary activities. The Controversy had a serious and deleterious effect on his missionary work, and no estimate of the value of a missionary's labours would be valid without some consideration of his teaching, more especially when his orthodoxy is suspect. I have therefore dealt as briefly as I could with these questions in Chapter V because of their relevance, and because to produce a work on an ecclesiastic without some reference to his tenets would be like writing a biography of Louis Botha without any allusion to his political 'faith', or of Wellington, without any mention of Waterloo. it would represent a distortion of history to write about a Missionary Bishop as though he were an amateur politician, or of a missionary as though he were interested only in finance and administration.

- Description: Aspects of fuzzy vector spaces and fuzzy groups are investigated, including linear independence, basis, dimension, group order, finitely generated groups and cyclic groups. It was necessary to consider cardinality of fuzzy sets and related issues, which included a question of ways in which to define functions between fuzzy sets. Among the results proved, are the additivity property of dimension for fuzzy vector spaces, Lagrange's Theorem for fuzzy groups ( the existing version of this theorem does not take fuzziness into account at all), a compactness property of finitely generated fuzzy groups and an extension of an earlier result on the order-homomorphisms. An open question is posed with regard to the existence of a basis for an arbitrary fuzzy vector space.

- Description: In this thesis the effects of precipitated electrons on electron densities in the upper atmosphere are investigated. A method for solving the continuity equation has been developed , and this has been used to calculate electron density profiles under various conditions: daytime equilibrium conditions, with and without additional ionization by precipitated electrons; and nighttime conditions, with and without precinitation . This preliminary study seems to show that certain effects may be attributable to precipitation, and that these effects may be significant at night.
