Selenium levels and recurrent pregnancy loss : is there an association?
… to conceive will have recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Several causes for RPL have been documented and these include chromosomal abnormalities, peas, thrombophilias and anatomical anomalies such as cervical incompetence. In many couples the aetiology of the pregnancy loss is often not defined but …

To what extent does the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) in a University of Technology's Engineering Faculty recognise and accredit knowledge acquired through work experience?
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) has become a key component in the South African educational environment because of the need to address past discriminatory practices in education due to the apartheid regime. This study poses the question: To what extent does the Recognition of Prior Learning …

Capturing the complexity of workplace knowledge – a case study of recognition of prior learning in an automated production environment
… for occupations. Recognition of prior learning (RPL) aims to recognise candidates' prior knowledge and skills learned in non-formal and informal contexts, including the workplace. The concern is that if Braverman's thesis is correct, the RPL process might be certifying ‘push-button operators' who …
