Reasonableness Review — The Quest for Consistency
Authors: Myburgh Anton
Published: October 2024

Reasonableness reviews in the Labour Court are something of a lottery because different judges have different thresholds for unreasonableness. This article discusses three things that the labour courts can do with a view to achieving a measure of consistency in decision-making: firstly, by determining the intensity with which reasonableness reviews should be undertaken, particularly in relation to dismissal for misconduct awards; secondly, by setting uniform standards for the threshold for unreasonableness; and, thirdly, by adopting a uniform approach to the methodology involved in testing for reasonableness on review.
Barriers to the Making or Breaking of Severance Pay
Authors: le Roux Rochelle , Oppon Euraeffie
Published: October 2024

The retrenchment and severance pay provisions in the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 (LRA) cannot be reviewed without analysing the supporting provisions of s 41 of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997 (BCEA), specifically the relationship between s 41(4) and s 84(2) of the BCEA and the jurisprudence on these provisions to date. Ultimately, the courts’ reasoning is that s 41(4) of the BCEA ensures employment security by deterring employers from retrenching employees by paying severance pay, and conversely by ensuring that employees do not unreasonably refuse alternative employment in an effort to frustrate the retrenchment process or to secure a severance payment instead. Further focal discussion points in this article are the determination of the reasonableness of rejecting alternative employment, the length of the interruption(s) in the employment period, and the calculation of severance pay that is due to affected employees (taking into account any prior payments already made to the employees). Additionally, the impact of contractually agreed severance pay on the BCEA statutory provisions is considered and recent jurisprudence in this regard is critiqued.
Discourse on Menstrual Leave in a South African Context
Authors: Thulapersad Annalise , Hicks Janine
Published: October 2024

The notion of menstrual leave as a workplace leave entitlement has begun gaining global traction, with Spain recently becoming the first European country to implement a specific menstrual leave policy. South Africa’s labour law does not include a provision entitling female employees to menstrual leave. Consequently, women are forced to utilise their sick leave if they are unable to attend work due to menstrual pain and discomfort. Should the South African government respond to calls for the inclusion of menstrual leave in labour law, there are several factors which lawmakers and employers in South Africa would need to consider. This article examines relevant South African labour legislation and state obligations in terms of international, regional and constitutional law with a view to the introduction of menstrual leave in South Africa. It further assesses global best practice and provides an analysis of possible policy measures, practical implementation considerations and legislative amendments to the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997, while also examining the application of existing provisions within the Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998 in order to contribute to this discourse.
The application of the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act on impairment caused by sexual harassment
Authors: Newaj Kamalesh
Published: October 2024

This article addresses the question of whether a sexually harassed employee has recourse to the Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act 130 of 1993. This is dependent on whether injuries or diseases sustained as a result of sexual harassment can be regarded as injuries or diseases that arise out of and in the course of employment. A very restrictive test has been developed to answer this question, which is whether the act giving rise to the injury or disease, in this context sexual harassment, can be regarded as a risk inherent to the work performed by the employee. The test focuses on the duties performed by the employee and the risks that are ordinarily inherent in the performance of those duties. Sexual harassment will generally not be regarded as a risk inherent to the performance of a job and is therefore discounted as an occupational injury or occupational disease. However, the courts’ approach is criticised for failing to interpret important social security legislation in line with international standards and in a purposive manner that gives effect to the constitutional right afforded to everyone to access social security.
Evaluating South Africa’s maternity protection legal regime applicable to non-standard female workers’ compliance with the Maternity Protection Convention 183 of 2000
Authors: Mhlongo Mpho , Tshoose Clarence Itumeleng
Published: October 2024

This article scrutinises maternity protection for women engaged in non-standard employment relationships in South Africa. It examines the current employment laws that provide maternity protection to females engaged in non-standard work. It is submitted that the insufficient protection afforded to these employees means that they do not enjoy the four-month maternity leave afforded to female employees in terms of section 25(1) of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997. To alleviate this challenge facing female non-standard workers, the International Labour Organization introduced the Maternity Convention 183 of 2000 (‘the Convention’). This Convention accommodates and protects females engaged in non-standard work. However, the challenge lies in the failure to ratify the Convention, which has resulted in the provisions of the Convention not being operationalised in South Africa. It is submitted that its ratification could enhance the maternity protection of workers engaged non-standard work. For example, Article 4 of the Convention provides for inclusive access to maternity leave for all women, regardless of their employment contract. This provision calls for access to maternity leave of at least 14 weeks, and a compulsory leave period of six weeks after childbirth should be made accessible to the mother, in order to give her sufficient time to rest and recover before going back to work.

Authors: Rodriguez Moscoso Jimena Zoila , Miauri Aza Dery Saida , Yanez-Fernandez Teresa , Calla Rodriguez Luis Enrique , Carita-Choquecahua Ariosto
Published: October 2024

In Peru, the political participation of university students is low, influenced by legal, cultural, and personal factors that limit them to voting only out of obligation. This work analyzed the factors associated with political participation in university students, considering their socio-academic variables. A sample of 310 students was used, where low levels of political participation were found, with significant associations to factors such as apoliticism, mobilization, and activism, but without relation to sociodemographic variables such as sex, occupation, or economic dependence. The lack of participation is attributed to distrust in political actors due to corruption and personal disinterest, with a greater focus on one's academic activities.

Published: October 2024

AbstractThis qualitative case study explored the psychological impact of a flu-like outbreak on a community in Magwegwe Suburbs, Bulawayo Province, Zimbabwe that had previously experienced the COVID-19 pandemic. The study aimed to: 1) examine the community's levels of trauma, resilience and mental health outcomes; 2) investigate the psychosocial effects of health-related anxiety and stigma; and 3) evaluate the utilization of mental health services before, during and after the outbreak. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, focus groups, open-ended Questionnaire and analysis of medical records. The findings indicated that the community exhibited elevated rates of PTSD, depression and health-related anxiety, alongside both community cohesion and interpersonal conflicts. Significant barriers to accessing mental healthcare were also identified. The study provided crucial insights into the long-term psychological toll of compounding public health crises in a low-resource setting. The results informed recommendations for comprehensive, community-based mental health programmes, integrated primary care-based services and continued research engagement with affected populations. Overall, the findings highlight the need for tailored interventions to support community resilience in the face of successive public health emergencies.
Interrogating the Community Participation Paradigm: A theoretical Perspective
Authors: Mapuva Jephias
Published: October 2024

Community participation in governance processes has been viewed as enhancing a democratic culture within concerned communities by making participants part of the problem-solving mechanism. Proponents of community participation espouse divergent views but concur that positive attributes are realised. In South Africa the post-1994 democratic dispensation has created an enabling environment for community participation at different levels of government. This has been necessitated in part to the participatory approach the communities undertook to dislodge the apartheid regime. In South Africa, through appropriate constitutional provisions, communities have been empowered to have a stake in the running of their own affairs through elected councillors and municipal officials. With community participation, people have felt to be part of a solution to problems in their communities and this has helped to eliminate poverty through the engagement of private sector to provide services which cannot be efficiently delivered by government. Lack of interest in municipal affairs has also resulted in non-participation by some communities.
An analysis of Thought Presentation in Hemingway’s A Farwell to Arms
Authors: Miri Batool Abdulmohsin
Published: October 2024

A crucial component of literary works is the depiction of dialogue, written communication, and the introspective thoughts of characters or individuals. This research aims to investigate the portrayal of thoughts in Hemingway's novel, A Farewell to Arms. To this end, a comprehensive examination of various methods of presenting thoughts is conducted in relation to Short Leech's (2007) framework. Four separate examples have been purposefully picked with the objective of studying the stylistic depiction of thoughts in Hemingway's novel, A Farewell to Arms. The excerpts are chosen based on the probable stylistic characteristics of the discourse categories. Two passages are selected from Book I, and two excerpts are chosen from Book II of the novel. The inquiry determined that A Farewell to Arms is told only from the perspective of the protagonist, Henry Fredric, via his consciousness. The study has prioritized the classification of thought presentation rather than speech presentation. Furthermore, the narrative is mostly conveyed via the use of three distinct categories: free indirect thought, direct thought, and free direct thought. During discussions, the dominant modes of communication are direct thought and free direct thought.

Published: October 2024

Beberapa parameter yang mempengaruhi pertumbuhan ayam broiler, yaitu suhu, kelembaban, ketersediaan air, dan kadar gas amonia di dalam kandang ayam. Agar dapat tumbuh secara optimal, suhu kendang di antara 24oC – 32oC (sesuai usia ayam), kelembaban udara sekitar 60% - 70% dan ketersediaan air yang terjaga. Kadar gas amonia harus di bawah 20 ppm. Petani budidaya ayam broiler harus senantiasa memantau nilai setiap parameter tersebut, sehingga dapat melakukan tindakan yang tepat dan cepat untuk mengurangi tingkat kematian ayam. Namun, mayoritas petani kecil budidaya ayam masih menggunakan metode konvensional untuk memantau parameter-parameter tersebut. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, diperlukan sebuah alat yang mampu mengukur level air dan kualitas udara di kendang ayam broiler. Alat tersebut harus berbasis internet of things (IoT) sehingga petani dapat memonitor parameter-parameter tersebut secara real time dan juga dapat mengirimkan pemberitahuan otomatis kepada petani jika parameter tidak optimal. Sebuah prototipe telah dihasilkan yang tersusun dari beberapa komponen utama yaitu, prosesor Wemos D1R2, sensor gas amonia MQ-137, sensor ultrasonik HC-SR04, sensor suhu DS18B20, LCD1602, dan modul relai empat kanal. Wemos D1R2 memproses luaran setiap sensor dan mengontrol empat kipas melalui relai. Wemos D1R2 juga menampilkan hasil setiap sensor pada LCD1602 dan dashboard pada platform Blynk IoT. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian telah diketahui bahwa prototipe yang dihasilkan memiliki kinerja yang baik. Hal tersebut dibuktikan dengan parameter suhu, level air, dan kadar gas amonia kendang ayam dapat diketahui secara real-time menggunakan smartphone. Prototipe juga dapat mengontrol empat kipas angina dan mengirimkan notifikasi ke pengguna secara otomatis.

Potential Oncogenic and Immunosuppressive Roles of Multiple EGF-Like Domains 6 (MEGF6) in Colon Cancer: Insights from Bioinformatic Analysis
Authors: Wanta Arunothai , Somsuan Keerakarn , Dongkaew Chatubonwan , Morchang Atthapan , Aluksanasuwan Siripat
Published: October 2024

Multiple epidermal growth factor-like domains protein 6 (MEGF6) is a high molecular weight protein with several EGF-like domains. Although it has been demonstrated to promote metastasis and chemoresistance in colon cancer cells, its specific oncogenic and immunologic functions remain largely unexplored. This study aims to comprehensively analyze publicly available datasets to define the role of MEGF6 in colon cancer development and immune response modulation. The expression of MEGF6 in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) and normal tissues at both mRNA and protein levels was assessed using the GEPIA2 and HPA databases, respectively. The UALCAN database was employed to examine the association between MEGF6 expression and clinicopathological outcomes in COAD patients, and survival analysis was conducted using the KM plotter database. Functional enrichment analysis of MEGF6-correlated genes was performed using the ShinyGO online tool. Additionally, the correlation of MEGF6 with immune cell infiltration and immunosuppressive molecules was explored through the TIMER and TISIDB databases. Our analysis revealed significantly higher mRNA and protein expressions of MEGF6 in COAD tissues compared to normal tissues, with associations to cancer stage, nodal metastasis status, and histological subtype. High MEGF6 expression was correlated with poorer survival outcomes, and genes correlated with MEGF6 were enriched in biological processes related to cellular component organization, cell adhesion, and extracellular matrix interaction. Furthermore, MEGF6 expression demonstrated a significant correlation with immune cell infiltration and the expression of immunosuppressive molecules, particularly CTLA-4, PD-1, PD-L1, TGF-β, and IL-10. In conclusion, our findings suggest that MEGF6 may play an oncogenic role by influencing cell and extracellular matrix interactions. Its overexpression may indicate immunosuppressive properties within the cancer microenvironment. Therefore, MEGF6 holds promise as a potential biomarker for predicting both prognosis and therapeutic responses in colon cancer.
HIGHLIGHTS

MEGF6 has been shown to involve colon cancer growth and chemotherapeutic resistance.
Bioinformatics confirmed a prognostic significance of MEGF6 in colon cancer.
MEGF6 may exert its oncogenic effects by influencing cell-matrix interactions.
MEGF6 expression is correlated with immunosuppressive properties of cancers.

Published: October 2024

Surface wettability and morphology are important aspects of developing QCM sensors for chemical sensors and biosensors. The functionality and morphology of the sensitive coating on the sensor surface affect the sensor sensitivity and selectivity. Various materials and methods to improve the functionality and morphology of the sensor surface have been developed, one of which is plasma. Species and parameters of the generated plasma play an important role in the treatment. One parameter is the DC-bias voltage of RF plasma, which plays an important role in plasma generation and bombardment on the surface being modified. This work shows the effect of the DC bias of the 2 MHz RF plasma with oxygen species. Surface functionality and morphology modification of the polystyrene film on the QCM sensor was done by surface modification using oxygen plasma. Partial etching of the polystyrene film occurred when treated with oxygen plasma generated using 2 MHz with negative DC-bias. CII, CO+, and CO were detected during the exposure of oxygen plasma on polystyrene film, indicating a chemical reaction between the plasma species, oxygen plasma, and the polystyrene. Observation by optical microscope and SEM showed the occurrence of partial etching on the polystyrene film. As there is no masking, the partial etching occurred randomly. The average size of the etched film increased with the DC bias voltage, but the percentage of the etched area was not. The oxygen plasma converts the polystyrene film from hydrophobic to hydrophilic, but hydrophobicity increases with the DC bias voltage.
HIGHLIGHTS
Polystyrene surface treatment using oxygen plasma can be used to alter the surface hydrophobicity. The DC bias plays important role in the surface modification. High DCV bias gives stronger plasma energy which may etched the polystyrene film. Observation using SEM shows part of the polystyrene film was etched as the DC bias voltage increase. The amount of the etched surface can be measured using optical microscope and processed using ImageJ. Increasing the DC bias result in a wider etched film.

Duckweed is an aquatic floating plant with the potential to be used as animal feed due to its richness in protein, amino acids, starch, vitamin and minerals. Furthermore, duckweed has a high growth rate and reproducibility. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the chemical composition and in vitro protein digestibility of duckweed (Lemna, Wolffia and Spirodela) in comparison to other feed ingredients. The chemical composition was determined through proximate analysis including dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), crude fiber (CF), ash and nitrogen free extract. The in vitro protein digestibility procedure simulates conditions similar to those in the swine digestive tract using synthetic enzymes to control pH, temperature and digestion time. In the results of chemical composition, Lemna and Wolffia were classified as protein sources, with high CP content (221.87 and 442.65 g/kg DM, respectively) and low CF content (63.30 and 109.11 g/kg DM), whereas Spirodela had low CP content (179.64 g/kg DM) and CF content (170.57 g/kg DM). The EE content in duckweed amounted to 16.74, 46.23 and 52.47 g/kg DM for Wolffia, Spirodela and Lemna, respectively. Additionally, high ash content was observed in Spirodela (212.40 g/kg DM), Wolffia (149.34 g/kg DM) and Lemna (142.06). For standardized ileal digestibility (SIDCP), the SIDCP of all feed ingredients were within the range of 32 to 96 %. With regard to duckweed, Lemna (72 %) showed significantly higher (p < 0.05) SIDCP compared to Wolffia (69 %) and Spirodela (39 %) due to the low contents of CF and ash. Based on nutritional values, Lemna and Wolffia were grouped with corn DDGS and brewer’s grain, indicating their potential as animal feed for sustainable livestock production.
HIGHLIGHTS

Duckweed exhibited high protein content, ranging from 179.64 to 65 g/kg dry matter.
For in vitro protein digestibility, Lemna and Wolffia had high true digestibility, amounting to 79 and 75 %, respectively.
Based on nutritional values, Lemna and Wolffia were grouped with corn DDGS and brewer’s grain, indicating their potential as animal feed for sustainable livestock production.

Society must face the challenge of creating high-value products from recycled waste polymers. This research focuses on the synthesis of nanofiber membranes from waste-expanded polystyrene (EPS) using electrospinning. Zinc oxide nanoparticles  (ZnO NPs) enhance the photocatalytic activity of the fiber membrane. ZnO is a more useful alternative to TiO2 as a form of photocatalyst for degrading contaminants in water. This study systematically investigated the effects of varying amounts of ZnO NPs on fiber membrane nanostructure and photocatalytic activity. Methylene blue was used to measure the photocatalytic efficiency of fiber membranes, as they are commonly used in textile wastewater and exposed to ultraviolet light for 20 h. The results showed that the fiber membrane containing ZnO NPs with a concentration of 1 % effectively degraded methylene blue.
HIGHLIGHTS

The EPS/ZnO nanofiber produced using electrospinning was characterized using SEM-EDX, FTIR, and Raman spectroscopy
UV-Vis spectrophotometer testing proves that the EPS/ZnO nanofiber has photocatalytic activity capabilities that can remove organic contaminants
The EPS/ZnO 1 % shows the highest efficiency; 45 % of methylene blue was degraded within 20 h of irradiation

Estetika Lagu Banjar Populer: Suatu Representasi Kultural, Pengalaman Eksistensial, dan Nilai Sosial Masyarakat Banjar
Authors: Hadi Sumasno
Published: October 2024

The philosophical aspects of art (aesthetics) explored in this study refer to the popular Banjar songs (with a sample of 14 song titles). Therefore, the vision of discussing the aesthetics of the popular Banjar song is appropriate to expose, extract, and uplift its ontological, epistemological, and axiological values. This study is a qualitative-descriptive type of research with aesthetic study approach (wetland environmental aesthetics), with the object of popular Banjar songs. From this design, the data analysis method uses two approaches, namely: music analysis and art philosophy analysis (philosophical aesthetics). The results of this study found that the aesthetic concept of the popular Banjar song refers to the following three philosophical aspects. First, the metaphysical value or substance of the popular Banjar song which lies in its two ontological realities, namely musical expressions and song lyrics in the Banjar language as a representation of Banjar culture. Second, the value of knowledge and art truth (aesthetic epistemology) of the popular Banjar song tends to be in the framework of the philosophy of empiricism, namely the knowledge and truth of art that prioritizes the existential experience of the subject. Third, the social value of the popular Banjar song that stands out is the discourse on work ethic, which is based on the value of religiosity, while the prominent political value (social institution) is family education.
