Book explores the role of music in emotions

Ronel Emms: “Daar kan boeke oor haar geskryf word.”
Mar 13, 2023 - Sy is die onbetwiste moederfiguur van die Noordwes-Universiteit (NWU) se Rugbyinstituut. Sy is een van die helde agter die skerms. Sy is die vriendelike gesig wat jou eerste groet.

Lae stempersentasie: Opvoeding is die antwoord – Noordwes-Universiteit
Mar 16, 2023 - Die straf en die oortreding pas nie by mekaar nie. Suid-Afrika het ’n endemiese, groeiende en unieke siekte wat nie net die gesondheid van ons land se demokratiese strukture raak nie, maar dit is ook ’n baie swak vorm van straf vir die gebrek aan dienslewering. Die stempersentasie raak al hoe laer, maar om weg te bly, is nie ’n oplossing vir…http://news.nwu.ac.za/low-voter-turnout-education-how-we-fix-it-north-west-university
Low voter turnout: Education is how we fix it – North-West University
Mar 16, 2023 - The punishment does not fit the crime. South Africa has an endemic, growing and unique disease that is not only affecting the health of our country’s democratic structures, but is also an ill-conceived form of retribution for the lack of service delivery. Voter turnout continues to decline, but abstention is not the cure for consternation. It is a…http://news.nwu.ac.za/nwu-and-sahrc-sign-memorandum-understanding

James Small se groot impak
Feb 24, 2023 - Hy het sy hart op sy mou gedra. Vreesloos. ’n Kort humeur. Emosioneel. Stoute derduiwel. Pierewaaier. Kapokhaan van formaat. Hy was berug. Joernaliste het sy manewales soos soetkoek opgeëet en dié begaafde vleuel het dit met oorgawe opgedis. James Terence Small – 47 toetse, 20 drieë.

Feb 24, 2023 - It was as unexpected as a lightning bolt on a sunny day. The North-West University (NWU) Eagles were playing against Wits in a warm-up game a few months ago.

Plasing op die gryslys skaad Suid-Afrika se beleggingsprofiel
Feb 27, 2023 - Suid-Afrika se verhoogde internasionale risikostatus as gevolg van plasing op die gryslys skaad ’n beleggingsprofiel wat reeds met faktore soos die negatiewe impak van aggressiewe beurtkrag, gebrek aan energiesekerheid, voortgaande rommelstatus en ander onsekerhede moet worstel.

Feb 27, 2023 - Indien die verhoogde fiskale risiko’s sou materialiseer wat in die Begrotingstoespraak op 22 Februarie 2023 uiteengesit is, kan die Suid-Afrikaanse ekonomie later hierdie jaar goedskiks in ’n resessie verval, sê ’n paneel kundiges wat vandag tydens ’n Pitso van die NWU Besigheidskool die Begroting bespreek het.
