An investigation into the problems experienced by parents in democratising school governing bodies in the Trenance Park Region of the Verulam area
Authors:   , Maharaj Purnachandra
Published: September 2021

This study focussed on the problems experienced by parents in the democratisation process of school governing bodies in the Trenance Park area. The desegregation of public schools has led to increased enrolment of African learners at the three schools in the Trenance Park area. School governing bodies, consisting of only Indian parent governors at these schools, have continued to function as they did in the past. Parent governors are incapable of handling culturally diverse issues and they also lack the expertise to manage school finances to accommodate the needs of all learners. The researcher explored possible reasons for the lack of African parental involvement. The absence of African parents on school governing bodies adversely affects schools when resolving issues of a cultural or racial nature. In fact the increase of racial incidents at schools has created a tense situation for both learners and educators. A literature survey of governance structures exposed the need for a training programme for governors. Previous governance structures had advisory powers but the Department of Education was responsible for a large majority of their functions. The South African Schools Act of 1996 accorded school governing bodies duties and functions for which they were not trained. Moreover the lack of a training programme created confusion amongst governors and the principal relating to their respective role functions. III Research for this dissertation was conducted by means of structured interviews directed at the chairperson of governing bodies and school principals in the Trenance Park area.

Authors:   , Simjee Fausia Banu
Published: September 2021

This study explores the role of senior management in improving educators' morale in public, secondary schools in the Durban Central Area. The reasons for a decline in educators' morale and effectiveness are senior management's lack of incentives and rewards, violence in schools, poorly disciplined learners, conflict, nepotism and public condemnation of educators. Other factors include: 'right-sizing', rationalisation and redeployment, lack of transparency during the promotion process and the negative attitude to the appraisal policy. Motivating educators will lead to improved school performance and promote enthusiasm and confidence amongst educators. The researcher will provide support on the topic from observations and a study ofliterature. The qualitative method of research was undertaken. The representative sample included principals, deputy principals, heads of department and educators from public secondary schools in the Durban Central Area. Evidence from questionnaires suggested that educators in the Durban Central Area are demoralised and therefore there is an urgent need to address their morale. The researcher examined the causes and symptoms of educators' demoralisation and senior management's role in improving their morale. This investigation focuses on problems which lead to the demoralisation of educators; the causes and symptoms of demoralisation and how educators can contribute to a healthy and professional culture in schools.

Examination of the impacts of e-cigarettes smoking on the tobacco non-smokers
Authors: Kanaan Tha’er , Alkhrasha Nayef , Al-Masaeed Mahmoud
Published: September 2021

Significance and Aim: The effects of cigarettes smoking on both smokers and non-smoker have been an issue of global public health concern. This led to the emergence of e-cigarettes as an alternative to help smokers in their smoking quitting journey. However, it has remained unclear on the public health costs this has on the non-smokers. The ILR Review is developed to examine the public health the use of e-cigarettes have on non-smokers.

Methods: The ILR sourced data from four databases Scopus, Medline, CINAHL, and Google Scholar. This was through a keyword search process using the ‘e-cigarettes’ or ‘vaping’ AND ‘addiction’ AND ‘non-smokers’ AND ‘effects OR ‘consequences, search phrases. The search protocol was replicated for all the databases. The findings from the search process were Scopus (419), Medline (283), CINAHL (311), and Google Scholar (321). The ILR applied inclusion and exclusion criteria and the GRADE model to assess the quality of the articles. Consequently, only 23 articles remained for analysis and inclusion in the ILR findings. Finally, the articles were screed through the EQUATOR PRISMA tool and extracted in readiness for analysis.

Findings and Analysis: The results demonstrate that the use of e-cigarettes has two leading public health implications on non-smokers, namely (i) the risk of new addictions and (ii) the risk of health-related illnesses. The findings affirm that the ease of accessing the e-cigarettes, the marketing craze, and the low cost of acquiring them has exposed a rising number of young people to its new addiction. The addiction could at times progress into tobacco smoking addiction. Secondly, the findings indicate that second hand smoke exposure, also known as passive smoking exposes the public to increased lung cancer, lung diseases and COPD illnesses.

Conclusion: The ILR concludes that e-cigarettes have far-reaching public health concerns on non-smokers. This necessitates the need for increased restrictions and control on the e-cigarettes access and availability. This is in addition to enacting strict regulations on smoking areas and freedom.
Managerial Economics – Family Medicine Care

Published: September 2021

Supply and demand are amongst the essential requirements before starting up a business. Understanding the quantity of a commodity wished to be sold by producers based on different prices and the item needed by consumers wish purchasing is essential in coming up with ideas. Based on the understanding of this and background research on costs in healthcare, specifically family medicine, it is found that healthcare is amongst the essential requirements, and thus the critical focus of the business idea in a physician’s practice focusing on family medicine care in the US. Starting up the business is based on healthcare demands in the market and further the pricing strategy utilized by most family medicine clinics.

Through a connection to the business based on visits in hospitals and the quality offered by these service providers, it is noted that the demand is high and is the most expensive sector in the world, but care is ineffective (The Peterson Center on Healthcare, n.d.) thus leading to searching for effective alternatives by consumers. This creates a potential for offering the most effective services to cater to the demands, and as noted by the Peterson Center on Healthcare (n.d.), the US healthcare system is the most expensive, and costs are projected to grow dramatically in the coming years thus creating the most significant business opportunity to entrepreneurs. By adjusting the resources and trying to cater to the demand in various locations, the key idea is to cater to the need and profit from the sector. The concern of gaining information in the market is research on different healthcare websites and the prices offered and the quality of their services. This will aid in adjusting the prices effectively and thus retaining the demand and supply chain.

Published: September 2021

Abstract. The paper presents information about the seismic
experiment “AniMaLS” which aims to provide a new insight into the crust and
upper mantle structure beneath the Polish Sudetes (NE margin of the Variscan
orogen). The seismic network composed of 23 temporary broadband stations was
operated continuously for about 2 years (October 2017 to October 2019).
The dataset was complemented by records from eight permanent stations located in
the study area and in the vicinity. The stations were deployed with an
inter-station spacing of approximately 25–30 km. As a result, recordings of
local, regional and teleseismic events were obtained. We describe the aims
and motivation of the project, the station deployment procedure, as well as
the characteristics of the temporary seismic network and of the permanent
stations. Furthermore, this paper includes a description of important issues
like data transmission setup, status monitoring systems, data quality
control, near-surface geological structure beneath stations and related site
effects, etc. Special attention was paid to verification of correct
orientation of the sensors. The obtained dataset will be analysed using
several seismic interpretation methods, including analysis of seismic
anisotropy parameters, with the objective of extending knowledge about the
lithospheric and sublithospheric structure and the tectonic evolution of
the study area.

An Analytical view of the Extent to which the Tax Accounting Process Conforms to the Transfer of Property Ownership in Accordance with Resolution 120 of 2002 with the Tax Rules
Authors: Alwan Alaa Hussein , Abbood Mohammed Salman
Published: September 2021

The tax on the transfer of real estate ownership is one of the taxes that were applied in Iraq after the year 2002 according to Resolution No. 120 of 2002. This was due to the problems that faced the work of the General Tax Authority in the process of accounting for transactions of transferring ownership of the property according to the previous mechanism of this decision. The tax accounting, according to this decision, is with the well-known tax rules because the compatibility between the tax accounting process on transferring the ownership of the property and the tax rules will lead to implant confidence between the taxpayer and the tax administration. The taxpayer's would not feel complacency and lack of unfairness when there is tax justice and clarity in the tax accounting process. Thus, this leads to avoid the problems that may occur Between the two parties to the tax accounting process. A number of applied cases are studied in Al-Mahmoudiya branch, one of the branches of the General Tax Authority. These studies are to demonstrate the extent of compatibility between the tax accounting for transferring ownership of the property with the tax rules. The research has come out with a set of conclusions, including that this type of tax does not comply with some tax rules. It is not consistent with the principle of justice, since the taxpayer who sells a share of his property bears more tax than it is. Also, it does not comply with the rule of certainty because the taxpayer does not have sufficient information about his complex tax accounting mechanism, since most of the taxpayers do not have tax awareness and are ignorant of the tax laws. It is consistent with the rule of convenience because the taxpayer will pay its amount after receiving the amount of the property that he sold or disposed of, and it corresponds to the rule of economy as it does not cost the tax administration high costs when collected. The taxpayer is the one who is forced to pay it when completing his transaction to sell his property. The research has reached a set of recommendations that could enhance the effectiveness of the tax calculation process on property transfer transactions and its compatibility with tax rules.

Fuentes de recursos líticos y estrategias de aprovisionamiento en la cuenca alta y media del Río Quinto (San Luis, Argentina)
Authors: Mariángeles Borgo
Published: September 2021

El presente trabajo de tesis doctoral constituye el primer estudio acerca de la gestión tecnológica de los grupos humanos que habitaron la cuenca del río Quinto (San Luis) durante el Holoceno. Los objetivos que guían esta investigación se enfocan en dos aspectos centrales. En primera instancia se focalizó en reconocer la oferta de recursos líticos en el área. Luego se analizaron las estrategias tecnológicas utilizadas por los grupos locales en relación a las materias primas líticas identificadas en el registro arqueológico. La investigación se enmarcó, de modo general, en los conceptos teóricos de la Organización Tecnológica. Adicionalmente, y debido a la ausencia de estudios previos en el área, fue necesario integrarla con otras herramientas teóricas y metodológicas derivadas de la Arqueología Distribucional y la Arqueología del Paisaje. Las vías de análisis utilizadas permitieron elaborar una Estructura Regional de Recursos Líticos, en la que predomina el cuarzo y las rocas silíceas, disponibles en fuentes primarias y secundarias. Para su caracterización se combinaron análisis geológicos de campo y laboratorio. Estos, junto con los estudios arqueológicos en canteras taller y sitios residenciales relevados en diferentes sectores en la cuenca, permitieron configurar las trayectorias de producción de cada materia prima. De este modo, se obtuvo un panorama inicial sobre las formas de aprovisionamiento y la gestión de la tecnología en diferentes escalas dentro del área (sitio, sector y área). En definitiva, se concluye que en la cuenca alta y media del río Quinto la oferta de recursos líticos es amplia y variada. En este contexto espacial, la gestión tecnológica observada muestra una notoria diversidad relacionada en los recursos líticos utilizados y el espacio donde la producción lítica tuvo lugar. La circulación de materias primas y los comportamientos tecnológicos de quienes la portaron posibilitaban la conexión de diferentes lugares del río Quinto, conformando así un paisaje socialmente construido.

Published: September 2021

Развитию архипелага Императрицы Евгении, входящего в состав Владивостокского городского округа, уделяется особое внимание как на региональном, так и на федеральном уровнях, что подтверждается развертыванием крупных строительных работ и наличием планов развития. В целях устойчивого развития территории островов реализация программ природопользования должна осуществляться с учетом анализа сложности ландшафтной организации и функционирования геосистем. Особое внимание необходимо уделять выделяемым в соответствии с нормативно-правовыми документами охранным зонам островов, для которых существуют законодательные ограничения хозяйственного использования. В работе были исследованы особенности ландшафтной организации островов, обработаны данные дистанционного зондирования, осуществлен анализ территориальной структуры охранных зон, проанализирована ландшафтная структура, произведен расчет показателей сложности ландшафтной структуры и ландшафтного разнообразия, а также проанализированы геоинформационные базы данных по устойчивости ландшафтов, созданные в Информационно-картографическом центре ТИГ ДВО РАН. В результате было установлено, что охранные зоны островов по степени устойчивости ландшафтов имеют небольшие различия с неохраняемой территорией. При этом анализ ландшафтной сложности и показателей ландшафтного разнообразия определяет территорию охранных зон островов как наиболее сложную и неоднородную по ландшафтной организации в сравнении с неохраняемой территорией архипелага.

Среди современных проблем гидроэкологии центральное место занимает проблема эвтрофирования. В условиях антропогенного воздействия степень эвтрофирования водоема определяется в основном поступлением в водоем биогенных веществ, в первую очередь соединений фосфора. Для водоемов умеренной зоны решающая роль фосфора, определяющего скорость развития планктонных водорослей, может считаться доказанной. До настоящего времени отсутствуют исследования, посвященные сравнительной оценке различных методов расчета допустимых фосфорных нагрузок на пресноводные водоемы. В связи с этим авторы провели исследование на основе математических моделей, связывающих допустимые фосфорные нагрузки на озера Карелии с их морфометрическими, гидрологическими и ассимиляционными характеристиками. В результате исследования было установлено статистически значимое соотношение между допустимыми фосфорными нагрузками на озера Карелии и площадями их водосборов. Полученные результаты позволяют природоохранным организациям принимать обоснованные решения о необходимом снижении антропогенной нагрузки на озера Карелии.

Техногенное загрязнение атмосферы – приоритетный фактор риска для здоровья населения промышленных городов. В то же время недостаточно научных данных, характеризующих опасность загрязнения воздушного бассейна химическими веществами с канцерогенным эффектом воздействия на человека. В связи с этим авторами проведена оценка канцерогенных рисков для здоровья населения города Липецка. В качестве исходных данных использованы сведения о результатах мониторинговых лабораторных исследований, выполненных ФБУЗ «Центр гигиены и эпидемиологии в Липецкой области» в 2017–2021 гг. Канцерогенный риск оценивался в соответствии с положениями Руководства Р. 2.1.10.1920-04 «Руководство по оценке риска для здоровья населения при воздействии химических веществ, загрязняющих окружающую среду». Установлено, что из 6 лабораторно контролируемых канцерогенов в атмосферном воздухе (формальдегид, соединения свинца, сажа, соединения Сr6+, бензол, бенз[а]пирен) имелись факты превышения предельно допустимого риска (1×10-4) по концентрациям формальдегида (для детей 6 лет до 2,24 × 10-4, для взрослых до 2,40 × 10-4), бензола (для детей в возрасте 6 лет – до 3,31 × 10-4, для взрослых – до 3,54 × 10-4), сажи (до 1,15 × 10-4 и 1,23 × 10-4 соответственно), бенз[а]пирена (до 4,22 × 10-4 и 4,52 × 10-4 соответственно). В этой связи для территории города Липецка необходим систематический контроль концентраций этих канцерогенов, расширение сети маршрутных постов наблюдения, а также реализация мероприятий по охране атмосферного воздуха от загрязнения.

Published: September 2021

Amaç: Bu araştırmada, yoğun ve stresli çalışma ortamında çalışan hemşirelerin işyerlerinde karşılaştıkları nezaketsiz durumların, birçok örgütsel pozitif davranışlar ile ilişkili olan psikolojik sermaye düzeylerine nasıl etki ettiğinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı.
Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı nitelikteki bu araştırmanın örneklemini bir eğitim araştırma hastanesinde çalışan 267 hemşire oluşturdu. Araştırmada örneklem seçimine gidilmemiş olup, araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden tüm hemşireler araştırmaya dâhil edildi. Veriler, Şubat-Nisan 2021 tarihleri arasında geçerlik ve güvenirliği Kutlu ve Bilgin tarafından yapılan, Cronbach Alpha katsayısı .90 olan “İşyeri Nezaketsizlik Ölçeği” (12 ifade) ile geçerlik ve güvenirliği Oruç tarafından yapılan, Cronbach Alpha katsayısı .93 olan “Psikolojik Sermaye Ölçeği” (12 ifade) ve hemşirelerin sosyodemografik (9 ifade) özelliklerini içeren toplam 33 maddelik anket formu ile toplandı. Araştırma öncesi gerekli tüm izinler alındı. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatiksel yöntemlerin yanı sıra ANOVA, t testi ve regresyon analizi kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan hemşirelerin %72.4’ü kadın, yaş ortalamaları 33.77±5.33, %67.7’si evli ve %70.8’i lisans mezunu olduğu belirlendi. Her iki ölçekte erkeklerin puan ortalamalarının daha yüksek olduğu saptandı. Yaşları ve nezaket düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir fark olduğu belirlendi (p<0.05). Eğitim durumları ile psikolojik sermaye düzeyleri arasında da anlamlı bir fark saptandı (p<0.05). Ayrıca işyeri nezaketsizliğinin, psikolojik sermaye düzeyini negatif yönde etkilediği belirlendi (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Bu araştırmada, işyeri nezaketsizliğinin artmasının, hemşirelerin psikolojik sermaye düzeylerini düşürdüğü sonucuna varıldı. Ayrıca hemşirelerin eğitim düzeyleri düştükçe karşılaştıkları iş yeri nezaketsizliğinin arttığı, eğitim seviyelerinin yükseldikçe psikolojik sermaye düzeylerinin arttığı sonucuna ulaşıldı. Bu doğrultuda, hemşirelerin işyerinde nezaketsizliği arttıran nedenlerin belirlenmesi, özellikle yönetici hemşirelere ve diğer çalışanlara bu konuda eğitimler verilmesi, kurum sosyalliğinin arttırılması ile psikolojik sermaye düzeylerinin artabileceği sonucuna varıldı.
