The present study examined the relationship between family-work conflict, job performance and selected work and family characteristics in a sample of working mothers employed at a large retail organization. The hypothesis of a negative relationship between family-work conflict and job performance was rejected. Married women reported significantly higher family-work conflict than unmarried women, while women in the highest work category gained the highest job performance rating. More than half the sample indicated that paid work was more important than their housework and reported that their working had a positive impact on their families. The findings are discussed in relation to the changing work and family identities of non-career women.

The oxidative action of hypochlorite on indigocarmine is investigated. Hypochlorite dissociates indigocarmine to produce isatin-5-monosulphonic acid, with a stoichiometry of 2:1. The probable mechanism is proposed. The suitability of reaction between hypochlorite and indigocarmine as an indicator reaction for the determination of high levels of hypochlorite in synthetic and commercial samples is investigated. A simple and reliable kinetic-analytical method is developed for the determination of hypochlorite ion at alkaline pH, based on its oxidizing activity.

Early-onset fetal growth restriction (FGR) and pre-eclampsia is a major cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. The 2014-2016 South African triennial perinatal mortality audit showed that in the category of neonates above 500 g that died, 14.9% were due to hypertensive disease in pregnancy and 2.3% were due to FGR. 1 Incorrect management of hypertensive disease attributed to 4% of all-cause perinatal mortality. 1 Earlier data (20131 Earlier data ( -2015 showed the leading cause of stillbirths between 28 and 32 weeks of pregnancy was hypertensive disorders and antepartum hemorrhage, with FGR accounting for 7%.
