Published: December 2024

The article presents generalized data on the endemicity and epizootology of animal brucellosis. The work was carried out to analyze and summarize the information from the Centralized Research Institute of Veterinary Medicine and Epidemiology of Kharkiv region on research on brucellosis of farm animals. Material samples were examined at the Laboratory of Brucellosis of the National Scientific Center «Institute of Experimental and Clinical Veterinary Medicine» to clarify the diagnosis. The study revealed that brucellosis continues circulating among wildlife populations, especially pigs, despite control efforts. It has been shown that the enzooticity of detecting false-positive reactions in traditional serological tests, namely the dipstick test (DST), agglutination reaction (RA), complement binding reaction (CBR), long-term complement binding reaction (LTCR), and milk ring reaction (MR). The presence of antigenic affinity of the lipopolysaccharide antigen of pathogenic Brucella and other gram-negative bacteria, in particular, Enterobacteriacea, has been confirmed, which causes false positive results that lead to diagnostic errors and unjustified culling of animals. To increase the specificity and reduce the likelihood of false positive results, it is proposed to conduct additional studies of sera at a reduced dose of antigen, which can significantly increase the specificity of RBP as a screening method while maintaining sensitivity. The main risks of occurrence and the presence of pathogen sources, pathways, and mechanisms of transmission of pathogenic Brucella sp. (B. abortus, B. suis, B. melitensis) are identified. Special attention is paid to the aspects of effective diagnostics, which are currently crucial for controlling the spread of this infection. It is shown that the endemic threshold for brucellosis in some regions is a problem related to the complication of serological tests, particularly the risk of false-positive reactions, which are significant obstacles to the diagnosis and prevention of the disease. The authors argue that the results highlight the need to continue research to develop more specific methods and diagnostic tools to control this zoonotic disease effectively

The Utilisation of Solar-Powered Boreholes for Groundwater Supply: Addressing Water Scarcity in the Polokwane Municipality, Mankweng Cluster
Authors:   University of Pretoria, Rasakanya Meisie
Published: December 2024

In many African countries, including South Africa, groundwater remains vital for rural communities, yet sustainable methods of its supply still require improvement. The purpose of this study is to enhance groundwater supply through an innovative and sustainable borehole system that improves reliability and ensures a consistent water supply. This study was motivated by the need to provide sustainable water access in rural communities by addressing critical gaps in existing groundwater supply systems, thereby enhancing community resilience. This study identified a problem of water scarcity in the Polokwane Municipality, Mankweng Cluster, where the existing borehole systems are inadequate to supply groundwater. Handpumps demand significant physical effort, grid-powered boreholes cease to operate during frequent power cuts, and the inconsistent diesel supply further limits borehole operation. The study was conducted using a qualitative approach, involving data collection through interviews that were analysed using content analysis. Findings indicate several challenges, including power cuts, diesel supply shortages, poor infrastructure maintenance, vandalism, and theft of equipment, which affect the proper operation of boreholes. The study concludes that water scarcity in the Mankweng Cluster stems from inadequate water infrastructure. The study recommends implementing a solar-powered borehole system that uses photovoltaic energy to pump water from underground aquifers.
Evolution of Local Governance in Uganda and its Implications for Policy and Practice
Authors:   Uganda Management Institute, Kyohairwe Stella , Karyeija Gerald ,   Uganda Management Institute, Nduhura Alex ,   Uganda Management Institute
Published: December 2024

Uganda’s local governance has evolved significantly since colonial times, gaining prominence in the 1990s through a decentralisation policy encompassing political, administrative, and fiscal devolution. While the policy initially brought numerous benefits, it has also faced challenges, leading to the retraction of some devolved administrative and fiscal functions. A review of narrative and systematic literature on Uganda’s local government system reveals that effective devolution requires fiscal empowerment of local governments to enable meaningful planning and budgeting alongside clear frameworks delineating the roles of central and local governments. It also emphasises the importance of intensified community engagement over the continuous creation of new structures, fostering public confidence in governance systems and actors, and leveraging partnerships, stakeholder involvement, and innovative approaches to address complex societal challenges. The study recommends a paradigm shift from focusing on the numerical proliferation of local governments to empowering communities, confronting grassroots challenges, digitising local governance systems, and regenerating and rebranding local government institutions to enhance their relevance and effectiveness in policy and practice.
Exploring Municipal Personnel Perspectives on the Viability of Shared Service Centres in South Africa’s Underperforming Municipalities
Authors:   University of KwaZulu-Natal, Muringa Tigere , Mutereko Sybert ,   Rhodes University
Published: December 2024

Shared Service Centres (SSCs) are considered efficient for tackling local government issues. Frequently, they are acknowledged for improving the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of services due to the advantages of cost savings, risk management, cooperation, information sharing, reduction in duplication, enhanced productivity, and greater customer satisfaction. Although South Africa has had a legislative and policy framework (The Municipal Structures Act 117 of 1998) to establish SSCs in local government for over two decades, it has not been fully implemented to create viable and well-functioning SSCs nationally (Republic of South Africa, 1998). This paper examines the perceptions of municipal employees on the feasibility, possible benefits, and difficulties of implementing shared service centres in underperforming municipalities in South Africa. The study seeks to ascertain the employees’ perception of the potential impact of shared service centres on their municipality’s financial viability and service delivery. The data for this study were gathered using online surveys and focus groups, including 132 local government employees selected from 10 local municipalities across South Africa. The findings suggest that most municipal personnel view shared service centres as feasible to attain cost-effectiveness and enhance service provision. However, concerns regarding job losses, power shifts, and local government autonomy arose during implementation. This article argues that effective shared service centres can improve operational efficiency, service delivery, and financial sustainability by leveraging economies of scale. This reduces costs, improves procedures, optimises resource use, shares expertise, and unites efforts to address various municipality challenges. The research recommends robust governance frameworks to manage SSCs efficiently, ensuring accountability, transparency, and fair service delivery.

This study delves into the dynamic interplay between traditional African leadership paradigms and imposed democratic systems, with a focus on the extended tenures of Robert Mugabe, Yoweri Museveni and Paul Kagame. Anchored in post-colonial theory, political culture theory and leadership theory, it elucidates the cultural underpinnings that contribute to leaders’ reluctance to cede power and their subsequent impact on democratic governance. Employing a qualitative methodology with in-depth case studies, the study reveals a profound conflict between entrenched traditional norms and modern democratic ideals. The findings underscore the persistent influence of traditional leadership practices characterised by authoritarianism and electoral manipulation. This study situates these findings within the broader legacy of colonialism and the ongoing struggle for democratic consolidation, offering a nuanced understanding of the cultural dimensions of political leadership in Africa. The study proposes directions for future research and policy interventions aimed at enhancing political stability and democratic governance across the continent.

South Africa’s rural communities face significant disparities, marked by high poverty and unemployment, which threaten social cohesion and inclusion. Residents often lack access to essential services and economic opportunities, while social issues like crime, unemployment, and substance abuse further strain these low-resource communities. While extensive research exists on social cohesion in urban settings, there is a notable gap in understanding how social issues such as unemployment, limited access to basic services, and housing insecurity uniquely impact social cohesion in low-resource communities. Therefore, this study seeks to explore the perceptions and experiences of social issues affecting social cohesion in low-resource communities in South Africa, and how one could facilitate the promotion of cohesive communities. This study adopts a qualitative methodological approach to gain a deep understanding of the participants and their lived experiences in low-resource communities. The current study was conducted in four communities within South Africa including Philippolis, Lamberts Bay, Caledon, and Grabouw. The study utilised a qualitative approach, with a phenomenological design, to interview 25 participants which included family members and community stakeholders. In-depth interviews were used for data collection and thematic data analysis. The findings highlight the disruption of societal unity in low-resource communities due to complex family dynamics, pervasive violence, substance abuse, and significant barriers to education. Dysfunctional family structures, historical factors like apartheid, and modern challenges such as urban migration and high unemployment contribute to social disintegration. Also, crime and violence, deeply intertwined with the lack of social cohesion, are exacerbated by historical and socio-economic factors. This highlights the need for comprehensive interventions which requires a multifaceted approach to tackle the underlying drivers of violence and inequality (SDG10) to achieve social cohesion in the face of entrenched inequalities is a formidable challenge, necessitating concerted efforts from both the government and civil society to bridge divides and foster a more inclusive and equitable society. This research emphasises the importance of addressing these complex social issues to build cohesive communities in South Africa’s rural areas.

As aderências abdominais são complicações frequentes após cirurgias de hérnia encarcerada, resultando de um processo inflamatório exacerbado e cicatrização peritoneal inadequada, levando à formação de tecido fibroso. Este estudo tem como objetivo revisar as causas, diagnóstico e manejo dessas aderências, destacando estratégias preventivas e terapêuticas. A revisão foi realizada em bases de dados como PubMed, SciELO e Lilacs, com artigos entre 1993 a 2021 que abordassem fisiopatologia, métodos diagnósticos e condutas terapêuticas. Os resultados mostram que fatores como trauma peritoneal, isquemia, comorbidades e predisposição genética contribuem para a formação das aderências. A tomografia computadorizada destaca-se como o exame mais eficaz no diagnóstico, enquanto o manejo conservador é indicado em obstruções parciais, e a laparoscopia se mostra preferencial nos casos cirúrgicos por ser menos invasiva e proporcionar recuperação mais rápida. Estratégias preventivas, como técnicas cirúrgicas cuidadosas, barreiras físicas absorvíveis e agentes antiaderenciais, têm demonstrado resultados promissores, mas com limitações. Conclui-se que o avanço nas abordagens diagnósticas e preventivas é essencial para reduzir as complicações, melhorar os desfechos clínicos e promover uma recuperação mais eficiente dos pacientes..

FAMILY CAPITALISM AND THE EXPLOITATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES: A CATALYST TO CLIMATE CHANGE
Authors: Devseshan R B
Published: December 2024

Capitalism is one of the significant reasons behind the exploitation of the natural resources. Family is the primary unit of Social Structure. The evolution of family structure undergoes various cultural challenges throughout history, from Gynocracy to Patriarchy. Accordingly, the family structure is now divided into the Bourgeoisie and Proletariat families. The bourgeoisie family satisfies the demands of the proletariat family. However, both Family divisions exploit natural resources not for need but for greed. It is explicit that every family is modified into a capitalist family mindset. Most of the time, capitalism exploits natural resources, and that exploitation is the cause of the depletion of natural resources and environmental degradation, thus resulting in climate change. Resource exploitation, particularly natural resource exploitation, significantly contributes to climate change. The development of infrastructure for human needs, technological advancement, and others has never satisfied human expectations, which are unnecessary but an unwanted exploitation of natural resources. Thus, this research paper discusses how the materialistic and capitalist mindset of the family exploits nature and acts as a catalyst for climate change.

Authors: Ekawati Mahlina , Fitrah Muhammad Aqdar
Published: December 2024

Penelitian ini menyelidiki pengaruh variasi arus las terhadap karakteristik makrostruktur dari nugget yang terbentuk dalam proses resistance spot welding, dengan fokus khusus pada stainless steel 304. Studi ini mengevaluasi efek dari berbagai tingkat arus—3, 5, dan 7 Ampere—terhadap diameter, area, dan kedalaman penetrasi nugget. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya korelasi yang jelas antara peningkatan arus las dengan pertumbuhan ukuran nugget. Pada arus 3 Ampere, nugget memiliki diameter 127,95 µm, area 12.858,20 µm, dan kedalaman penetrasi 1,2 µm. Ketika arus dinaikkan menjadi 5 Ampere, diameter nugget meningkat menjadi 542,2 µm, dengan area 230.909,67 µm dan kedalaman penetrasi 1,14 µm. Pada arus 7 Ampere, nugget mencapai diameter maksimal sebesar 648,09 µm, area 329.883,41 µm, dan kedalaman penetrasi 2,1 µm. Meskipun arus yang lebih tinggi menghasilkan nugget yang lebih besar dan penetrasi yang lebih dalam, arus ini juga meningkatkan risiko cacat las, termasuk deformasi dan ketidakberaturan mikrostruktur. Temuan ini menekankan pentingnya mengoptimalkan parameter pengelasan, terutama tingkat arus, untuk mencapai spot weld berkualitas tinggi yang menyeimbangkan ukuran nugget, bentuk simetris, dan penetrasi tanpa mengorbankan integritas sambungan las. Studi ini menegaskan perlunya kontrol yang tepat atas parameter pengelasan guna memastikan produksi sambungan las yang kuat dan bebas cacat dalam aplikasi industri.

Heat exchanger adalah mesin penukar panas yang berfungsi untuk mengubah suhu dan fasa suatu fluida, baik dari panas ke dingin maupun sebaliknya. Mesin ini banyak digunakan di industri pengolahan minyak dan gas, pembangkit listrik, serta industri kimia. Untuk meningkatkan kinerja dan efisiensi, dilakukan penelitian dengan mendesain sudut baffle sebesar 180°, 200°, dan 220°. Penelitian ini menggunakan simulasi perangkat lunak Ansys Workbench R2 dan perhitungan matematis. Luas permukaan heat exchanger terbesar ditemukan pada variasi sudut 220° dengan luas 8,17 m². Nilai LMTD tertinggi dicapai pada sudut 180° dengan suhu 74,4?C, yang juga menghasilkan distribusi perpindahan panas dan efisiensi optimal sebesar 83,845%, berkat tingkat turbulen 6026,6 yang menjaga aliran fluida tetap stabil. Penurunan tekanan tertinggi terjadi pada sudut 180°, dengan nilai tekanan masuk minyak 120 Pa dan air 0,915 Pa. Besar perpindahan panas tercatat sebesar 7615,840 W/m²°C. Dengan demikian, semakin kecil sudut baffle, semakin besar perpindahan kalor yang terjadi.

Perlakuan pre-heat yang kurang optimal dapat mempengaruhi sifat mekanik sambungan las pada material stainless steel AISI 304 yang dilas menggunakan pengelasan resistance spot welding. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pengaruh suhu pre-heat yang berbeda (130°C, 160°C, dan 190°C) terhadap kekuatan tarik, kapasitas beban maksimum, dan kekerasan pada sambungan las stainless steel AISI 304. Metode yang digunakan adalah pengelasan resistance spot welding pada material stainless steel AISI 304 dengan perlakuan pre-heat pada suhu yang ditentukan, diikuti dengan pengujian kekuatan tarik, kapasitas beban maksimum, dan kekerasan di daerah las, HAZ (Heat-Affected Zone), dan base metal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa suhu pre-heat 160°C memberikan peningkatan sifat mekanik yang optimal, dengan kekuatan tarik meningkat 66% (78,98 Pa) dan kapasitas beban maksimum mencapai 1,974 kN. Suhu pre-heat 190°C justru menurunkan performa mekanis akibat overheating yang menyebabkan pembentukan butiran kasar. Hasil ini merekomendasikan rentang suhu pre-heat antara 130°C hingga 160°C untuk mencapai performa pengelasan yang optimal.
Representaciones Mediáticas de la Naturaleza Colombiana en National Geographic Magazine 1903-1952
Authors: Pérez-Marín Mónica
Published: December 2024

El propósito del paper consiste en analizar las representaciones mediáticas, el contexto de producción y las prácticas sociales que legitimaron los discursos que circularon sobre la naturaleza colombiana entre 1903 y 1952 en National Geographic Magazine. Las teorías que guiaron nuestra investigación se inscriben en la Teoría de la Representaciones de Stuart Hall, las Teorías Críticas y el giro decolonial. El diseño metodológico trabajó el Modelo tridimensional de Fairclough teniendo como unidad de análisis 9 reportajes sobre Colombia. La investigación encontró las siguientes representaciones mediáticas: espectáculo sublime, tierra de oportunidades económicas, lugar deseable para la recolección de “datos” científicos, tierra de aventura y consumo, tierra de futuro, un laboratorio, aventura. Las prácticas sociales que crearon e institucionalizaron este discurso particular sobre la naturaleza fueron el positivismo, el panamericanismo y el destino manifiesto en el contexto de la aparición del periodismo de masas, el desarrollo de la tecnología de fotograbado, el surgimiento e institucionalización de nuevas disciplinas académicas orientadas por el positivismo.
¿(Des)centralización de los sistemas de conocimiento indígena?
Authors: López-Maldonado Yolanda , Jarlik Lilith
Published: December 2024

Los Pueblos Indígenas poseen importantes conocimientos que nos ayudan al mantenimiento de la diversidad del paisaje cultural y biológico del mundo, y con ello contribuyen a lograr una verdadera transformación hacia la sustentabilidad. Sin embargo, sus conocimientos, ideas, prácticas, necesidades y valores continúan siendo descontextualizados e instrumentalizados en las agendas globales de la conservación. Aunque existen avances en la política internacional relativa a la promoción de los derechos Indígenas, lo que repercute positivamente en el acceso y la difusión de sus voces en los discursos medioambientales locales y globales, los retos siguen caracterizándose por continuidades coloniales. Este artículo explora el dilema de que los sistemas de conocimiento Indígena deberían formar parte central de los discursos medioambientales, pero siguen siendo descentralizados por factores históricos, sociopolíticos y económicos resultando en un Epistemicidio, o marginación sistemática. Identificamos la necesidad de deconstruir las Colonialidades del Saber y de la Naturaleza en las esferas científicas y políticas de la conservación, y concluimos con la imperativa necesidad de preservar íntegramente los sistemas de conocimiento Indígena. Proponemos pilares de acción para integrar ética y adecuadamente el papel de los Pueblos Indígenas en estos debates, posibilitar el aprendizaje mutuo y evitar mayor erosión de estos conocimientos.
