Published: August 2019

AbstrakPenelitian kualitatif ‘Grounded Theory’ cukup banyak diminati akhir-akhir ini, sebagai suatu upaya untuk memahami fenomena yang belum dapat dijelaskan berdasarkan teori-teori yang ada.  Namun demikian, literatur yang menjelaskan aplikasi penggunaan metodologi ini masih jarang ditemukan, terutama yang diterapkan terhadap suatu kasus tunggal. Makalah ini merupakan pembelajaran yang didapatkan dari suatu riset grounded theory yang meneliti fenomena resistensi komunitas terhadap kegiatan pembangunan di sebuah lokasi di Jawa Barat, dengan fokus pada dinamika pembentukannya sejak awal sampai akibat yang ditimbulkan dalam jangka waktu tertentu. Studi kasus yang dipilih ini bersifat ekstrim, karena adanya ketertutupan dari para informan kunci sehingga dibutuhkan teknik wawancara tertentu. Proses pengumpulan data, analisis, kodifikasi, dan pembangunan konstruksi teoritik yang dilakukan dalam riset ini bersifat iteratif, sebagian saling tumpang tindih, dan beberapa teknik validasi digunakan untuk meningkatkan kepercayaan.

O avanço do agronegócio na Amazônia significou a reprodução ampliada do capital, configurando-se como uma cadeia produtiva de grãos, cujo objetivo é a maximização dos lucros em suas múltiplas escalas espaciais. Este estudo visa analisar o avanço do agronegócio no município de Santarém e Belterra, no oeste do Pará, a partir dos processos da territorialização do capital e da monopolização do território, na medida em que a espacialização de commodities representa um mecanismo de enfrentamento ao campesinato, causadores de conflituosidades e tensionamentos no ambiente camponês. O trabalho está estruturado em três dimensões analíticas: 1) Faz uma abordagem do conceito de territorialização do capital e da monopolização do território, a fim de compreender as novas dinâmicas territoriais implementadas no espaço agrário amazônico a partir da globalização da economia; 2) Apresenta um debate acerca de como o desenvolvimento do capitalismo no campo promoveu a modernização do território na Amazônia e resultou em um sistema mecanizado da terra, estabelecendo uma nova dinâmica em que é Bsistematicamente empiricizadas nas relações entre capital e trabalho; 3) Traça uma discussão sobre como o avanço da soja nos municípios de Santarém e Belterra suscitou na pressionamento/expropriação do campesinato, na mercantilização da terra e da natureza, no aumento dos preços das terras e na modernização da agricultura, no qual a dinâmica territorial local foi incorporada à economia global. Assim, a interação entre campesinato e agronegócio é compreendida por meio de dois territórios distintos que os dinamiza e resultam em disputas territoriais.   Palavras-chave: Território. Campesinato. Agronegócio.

Este artigo tem como objetivo, mediante proposta que incorpora o escopo teórico de Milton Santos sobre os circuitos da economia urbana, compreender e analisar a distribuição espacial e a correlação de forças no plano técnico e político dos agentes do transporte rodoviário de carga que, sob o nosso ponto de vista, se enquadram no circuito inferior. O autor explicita o fato de que a diferença fundamental entre as atividades de ambos os circuitos está ancorada nas diferenças de tecnologia e organização, e destaca que “não são sistemas isolados e impermeáveis entre si, mas, ao contrário, estão em interação permanente” (SANTOS, 2008, p.261).O circuito inferior compõe-se de uma multiplicidade de atividades pouco capitalizadas que imprescindem do uso de técnicas contemporâneas – embora novos objetos sejam utilizados em menor grau e frequentemente a partir de outras combinações – e aumenta pela produção de pobreza e dívidas sociais, resultado direto das modernizações tecnológicas e organizacionais contemporâneas que têm fortalecido o circuito superior das economias urbanas. Ao relacionar as características estruturais dos circuitos com a rede urbana e o processo de industrialização, Santos afirma que há também superposição das atividades dos dois circuitos: “Como o circuito inferior está presente em todas as cidades, as atividades dos dois circuitos confundem-se em toda parte no sistema urbano, tanto nas metrópoles como nas cidades” (SANTOS, 2008, p.331).No transporte rodoviário de carga essa questão se expressa nas relações de subordinação e complementaridade que ocorrem no que estamos chamando de “cadeia de subcontratações”, gerando tensões e distensões entre os agentes que extrapolam o âmbito meramente intraurbano e compõem a dialética espacial entre os dois circuitos. A consciência de como funciona a engrenagem dessa dinâmica pode potencializar uma maior representatividade dos autônomos no plano sindical, fortalecendo a ação política e a luta por condições de trabalho mais dignas.

Published: August 2019

There is always discrimination against women in any field, as experienced by the main character Elizabeth Bennet in the novel Pride and Prejudice. Because women can not accept the inheritance from their fathers, therefore women are required to marry rich men to improve social class and economic life. Discrimination of women in the inheritance of wealth makes women have to struggle in finding rich men to marry. In the data analysis method the author performs a systematic procedure with a novel understanding, the main character of Elizabeth Bennet and also feminist theory, the technique used in this research is a structural technique by analyzing novels based on the elements that make up.
The results of this study found that: 1) the discrimination of women in the inheritance of his father's estate, 2) the main character of Elizabeth Bennett describes the strength of women, because of his firm and wise in facing all problems in his life, 3) the women's struggle was carried out by Elizabeth Bennet in Find his true love and marry on the basis of love until it ends happily, but so many obstacles he faces both from the outside and from himself.

Compound Preposition of Minangkabau Language
Authors: Aditiawarman Mac
Published: August 2019

Some Minangkabau prepositions have high ability of combining with each other, they are: (a) bak ‘like’, (b) cando ‘like’,  (c) dari ‘from’, (d) daripado ‘than’,  (e) dek ‘ because, at, by, (f) di ‘at’ (g) jo‘with’, (h) kacuali ‘except’, and (i) kapado ‘to’ (j)  sampai ‘until’.
There are 2 categories of compound prepositions. Fisrt, some of the compound prepositions are the combination of two prepositions that have same meaning (synonym). One of the compound synonym prepositions can be deleted in their structure environment by using ellipsis technique and the deletion does not disturb the compound meaning. Second, the combination of two or more than two prepositions that have different meaning. Ellipsis cannot be applied to these compound prepositions.
Analysis of The English Gerund as Subject, Direct Object, Subject Complemet, and Object of Preposition
Authors: Raflis Raflis , Lase Arozato
Published: August 2019

The problem in this journal is gerund, verbal ending -ing and serves as a noun. Gerund differs from grammar construction in English because it is able to convert a verb into a noun by adding -ing at the end of the verb. At the same time, there is also a continuous tense form that adds -ing at the end of the verb. For students who start learning English will be confused with the form -ing that can be a noun and also a verb in the same sentence.
The method used is the method of distribution, the method of data analysis into object analysis is part of the language itself. Objects in the distribution method are always part or element of the language being observed. In analyzing the data, the authors use qualitative methods. Qualitative research is a type of social science research that collects and works with non-numerical data and which seeks to interpret the meaning of the data being analyzed. In this study, researchers used descriptive design with the aim to analyze gerund as subject, direct object, complement of subject, and object of preposition at Tempo magazine in 2015.
The author finds gerund formulation as follows: Gerund as Subject (Main + Main Verb + Complement), gerund as Direct Object (Subject + Main Verb + Gerund), gerund as Subject Complement (Subject + to be + Gerund), and gerund as Object of Preposition (Subject + Primary Keyword + Preposition + Gerund). The study found that Tempo magazine used gerund in magazines with higher gerund percentages as the preposition object. There are 8 gerunds as the subject, 5 gerund as a direct object, 6 gerund as complementary subject, and 23 gerund as the preposition object.
Failure of Ambition To Be a Queen as Seen in Phillipa Gregory’s The Other Boleyn Girl
Authors: Helmita Helmita , Putri Ayunanda
Published: August 2019

The Other Boleyn Girl is a historical novel written by British author Philippa Gregory loosely based on the life of 16th century aristocrat Mary Boleyn (the sister of Anne Boleyn) of whom little is known. Inspired by Mary’s life story, Gregory depicts the annulment of one of the most significant royal marriages in English history and conveys the urgency of the need for a male heir to the throne.
The writer took Anne Boleyn’s ambition to become a queen as a center of the thesis. Technique of collecting data of this analysis is by library research. It means that the writer applies the data which the writer takes from library and other written material from book store, internet or even motion picture.
In analyzing this data, the writer uses psychological theories by Sigmund Freud. Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality argues that human behavior is the result of the interactions among three component parts of the mind: the id, ego, and superego. This theory, known as Freud’s structural theory of personality, places great emphasis on the role of unconscious psychological conflicts in shaping behavior and personality.
The result show that although it’s good to have ambition to drive someone to reach their goal to succeed but ambition without limit could destroy everything and everyone around you. And it even could destroy yourself too.

Published: August 2019

This research entitled “The Dynamic Character as seen in J.R.R Tolkien’s The Hobbit Novel”. about Thorin Oakenshield’s dynamic character, the king who wants to take back his kingdom. This research is limited on basic ideas that relate to the observation into three questions as follow: (1) Why does Thorin also has an important role (2) Why is Thorin not the true leader (3) Why does Thorin change his role from hero to villain. The purposes of the thesis are, (1) To analyze Thorin’s role  in the Hobbit novel, (2) To analyze Thorin’s role as a leader who considered not the true leader, (3) To analyze Thorin Oakenshield’s dynamic character as the story progress. This theory using Teeuw and Pradopo about structural analysis and Griffith about dynamic character.As for data analysis method, the writer uses systematic procedures by understanding the novels, the characters, as well as the structural theory. Data collection technique uses documentation technique in finding relevant data to the subject of analysis. The results are: (1) Thorin who has important role in the Hobbit novel, (2) Thorin as the leader of the company but his quality as the leader is so bad, (3) The dynamic character of Thorin when he get back his kingdom.As conclusion, Tolkien shows that the crownless king has desire to get back his kingdom and becomes blind to the presence of the people around him. However, before his death he admits his wrongs to Bilbo. The moral value from this story is the world would be a better place if people cherished friendship and joy over wealth and success.

We present accretion disk structure measurements from continuum lags in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping (SDSS-RM) project. Lags are measured using the JAVELIN software from the first-year SDSS-RM g and i photometry, resulting in well-defined lags for 95 quasars, 33 of which have lag S/N > 2σ. We also estimate lags using the ICCF software and find consistent results, though with larger uncertainties. Accretion disk structure is fit using a Markov chain Monte Carlo approach, parameterizing the measured continuum lags as a function of disk size normalization, wavelength, black hole mass, and luminosity. In contrast with previous observations, our best-fit disk sizes and color profiles are consistent (within 1.5σ) with the Shakura & Sunyaev analytic solution. We also find that more massive quasars have larger accretion disks, similarly consistent with the analytic accretion disk model. The data are inconclusive on a correlation between disk size and continuum luminosity, with results that are consistent with both no correlation and the Shakura & Sunyaev expectation. The continuum lag fits have a large excess dispersion, indicating that our measured lag errors are underestimated and/or our best-fit model may be missing the effects of orientation, spin, and/or radiative efficiency. We demonstrate that fitting disk parameters using only the highest-S/N lag measurements biases best-fit disk sizes to be larger than the disk sizes recovered using a Bayesian approach on the full sample of well-defined lags.

Theoretical models of stellar evolution predict that most of the lithium inside a star is destroyed as the star becomes a red giant. However, observations reveal that about 1% of red giants are peculiarly rich in lithium, often exceeding the amount in the interstellar medium or predicted from the big bang. With only about 150 lithium-rich giants discovered in the past four decades, and no distinguishing properties other than lithium enhancement, the origin of lithium-rich giant stars is one of the oldest problems in stellar astrophysics. Here we report the discovery of 2330 low-mass (1–3 M
⊙) lithium-rich giant stars, which we argue are consistent with internal lithium production that is driven by tidal spin-up by a binary companion. Our sample reveals that most lithium-rich giants have helium-burning cores (

), and that the frequency of lithium-rich giants rises with increasing stellar metallicity. We find that while planet accretion may explain some lithium-rich giants, it cannot account for the majority that have helium-burning cores. We rule out most other proposed explanations for the origin of lithium-rich giants. Our analysis shows that giants remain lithium-rich for only about two million years. A prediction from this lithium depletion timescale is that most lithium-rich giants with a helium-burning core have a binary companion.
The Effective Magnetic Field Decay of Radio Pulsars: Insights from the Statistical Properties of Their Spin Frequency's Second Derivatives
Authors: Xie Yi , Zhang Shuang-Nan
Published: August 2019

We present a new method to investigate the effective magnetic field decay of isolated neutron stars, from the analysis of the long-term timing data of a large sample of radio pulsars. There are some differences between the distributions of frequency’s second derivatives of the pulsar spins with different effective field decay timescales. Kolmogorov–Smirnov tests are performed to reexamine the consistency of distributions of the simulated and reported data for a series of values of decay timescales. We show that the timescale of the effective field decay exceeds ∼5 Myr for pulsars with spindown age τ
C < 107 yr or ∼100 Myr for pulsars with 107 < τ
C < 109 yr in the sample. The result does not depend on any specific theories of the field evolution, the inclination decay, or the variation in the moment of inertia. It is also found that the extent of the closed-line region of the magnetic field is close to the light cylinder r
lc, i.e., the corotating radius r
c ≈ r
lc is a good approximation for the observed pulsar population.

We present the discovery of PS18kh, a tidal disruption event discovered at the center of SDSS J075654.53+341543.6 (d ≃ 322 Mpc) by the Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients. Our data set includes pre-discovery survey data from Pan-STARRS, the All-sky Automated Survey for Supernovae, and the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System as well as high-cadence, multiwavelength follow-up data from ground-based telescopes and Swift, spanning from 56 days before peak light until 75 days after. The optical/UV emission from PS18kh is well-fit as a blackbody with temperatures ranging from T ≃ 12,000 K to T ≃ 25,000 K and it peaked at a luminosity of L ≃ 8.8 × 1043 erg s−1. PS18kh radiated E = (3.45 ± 0.22) × 1050 erg over the period of observation, with (1.42 ± 0.20) × 1050 erg being released during the rise to peak. Spectra of PS18kh show a changing, boxy/double-peaked Hα emission feature, which becomes more prominent over time. We use models of non-axisymmetric accretion disks to describe the profile of the Hα line and its evolution. We find that at early times the high accretion rate leads the disk to emit a wind which modifies the shape of the line profile and makes it bell-shaped. At late times, the wind becomes optically thin, allowing the non-axisymmetric perturbations to show up in the line profile. The line-emitting portion of the disk extends from r
in ∼ 60r
g to an outer radius of r
out ∼ 1400r
g and the perturbations can be represented either as an eccentricity in the outer rings of the disk or as a spiral arm in the inner disk.

Published: August 2019

Objective.

To investigate expression of terminal complement components C3a and C5a on circulating myeloperoxidase (MPO)-positive microparticles (MPO+MP) in relation to disease activity and renal involvement in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV).

Methods.

Forty-six clinically well-characterized patients with AAV and 23 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were included. The concentration of MPO+MP expressing C3a and C5a was analyzed from citrate plasma by flow cytometry. Serum levels of C3a and C5a were determined using commercial ELISA. The assessment of vasculitis disease activity was performed using the Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS). Among patients, 23 had active disease with BVAS ≥ 2 and 14 patients had active renal flares.

Results.

AAV patients had significantly increased expression of C3a and C5a on MPO+MP compared to controls (both p < 0.0001). When the group of patients with active AAV was divided according to the presence of renal activity, the concentration of MPO+MP expressing C3a and C5a was significantly higher in patients with renal involvement compared to patients with nonrenal disease and controls (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively). The serum levels of C3a were significantly decreased (p < 0.01) in the renal subgroup, while there were no changes in serum levels of C5a comparing the renal and nonrenal groups. There was significant correlation between the disease activity measured by BVAS and the levels of C3a and C5a expressed on MPO+MP.

Conclusion.

Determination of C3a and C5a on MPO+MP might be considered as a novel biomarker of renal involvement in patients with AAV and may be of importance in the pathogenetic process.
Smart Technology Integration in the System of Bachelors’ Language Training
Authors: Elsakova Renata , Kuzmina Nadezhda , Kochkina Daria
Published: August 2019

This paper considers the problem of smart technology integration into the system of bachelors’ language training at higher school environment. The use of smart technology in education helps to enrich traditional teaching methods and bring positive learning outcome. However, the application of smart technologies is connected with challenges both educators and students can face. The aim of the article is to consider and assess the use of smart technologies implemented into a foreign language teaching process. For that purpose, we applied such methods as a needs analysis (among lecturers of English from South Ural State University), a questionnaire and an interview (among three groups of students from similar bachelor’s program). The findings show that the majority of those surveyed do understand the importance of smart technology for professional education, but they are not familiar with the types of smart technologies and how to use them. Based on the results of this analysis, the authors applied smart technologies in the process of English teaching, such as different language learning platforms (Ed-modo, TEDed), social networks (VKontakte, Facebook), and a new online language development course, “English for General Purposes” which was implemented through the Moodle (the university corporate learning management system). The analyzed results and the drawn conclusions indicate that the integration of smart technologies allows to boost foreign language skills and encourage motivation.

Published: August 2019

No Brasil as propostas do lazer e do ócio apresentam perspectivas distintas. Assim sendo, o objetivo deste trabalho é analisar qual o entendimento dos atores sociais de um programa governamental de atividade física sobre o lazer e ócio. Trata de uma pesquisa qualitativa, do tipo estudo de caso. A escolha do programa e dos participantes ocorreu de forma intencional. Adotamos a entrevista em profundidade para a coleta das informações e, usamos a técnica de saturação para determinar o número de participantes. Para a interpretação dos dados nos apropriamos da técnica da análise crítica do discurso, por meio da abordagem sociocognitiva. Como principais resultados, encontramos a predominância do discurso hegemônico referente ao lazer no Brasil, notadamente, descanso, diversão e consumo; um desconhecimento a respeito do ócio. Enquanto prática social as vivências realizadas pelos alunos do programa, em sua maioria, não condizem com os pressupostos teóricos referentes ao lazer, mas se caracterizam enquanto experiências de ócio. Concluímos pelos discursos analisados que as pessoas ressignificam suas práticas de lazer, estabelecendo um paradoxo entre o que é proposto teoricamente com o que é vivenciado cotidianamente, assim como compreendem a atividade física de forma funcionalista.

Published: August 2019

A literatura aponta que os policiais estão entre os profissionais vulneráveis à síndrome de Burnout, porem há poucos estudos que investigam esta síndrome e a associam a uma estratégia de enfrentamento. A hipótese deste artigo é de que o exercício físico pode ter associação significativa em relação ao Burnout funcionando como elemento de proteção. Partindo deste ponto, o presente estudo avaliou os níveis de atividade física e a percepção das dimensões da síndrome de Burnout em uma amostra de policiais militares na cidade de Belo Horizonte. Foram utilizados três instrumentos para coleta de dados, cada qual com um objetivo específico: o Inventário de Burnout de Maslach (MBI-HSS), o Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física (IPAQ) e um questionário sociodemográfico. Os resultados mostraram uma prevalência da síndrome de Burnout de 64%, principalmente entre os classificados com baixo nível de atividade física e que executam a atividade de trabalho operacional. Conclui-se que variáveis que se referem a aspectos sócio-afetivos influenciam a percepção desta síndrome assim como o sedentarismo, tendo sido, através das variáveis que apresentaram significância estatística, traçado um perfil do policial sedentário e vulneral ao Burnout e constatado que os níveis de atividade física apresentam associação com os indicadores de Burnout.

Uma amostra de 210 treinadores e professores esportivos de 20 a 75 anos, de ambos os sexos, respondeu às escalas referentes ao desenvolvimento de habilidades motoras e estratégico-tático, as quais apresentaram estruturas compostas por três fatores, com saturações significativas (Satf > 0,40) e explicando respectivamente 70,19% e 74,29% da variância total dos construtos. Os resultados relativos ao ajuste do modelo foram, de forma geral, satisfatórios (X2/gl < 1,567; AGFI = 1,000; RMSEA < 0,052; CFI > 0,995). Os resultados do estudo de consistência interna (0,736 < α < 0,908 para os fatores; αHM = 0,869; αET = 0,921) asseguram a precisão das medidas e a confiabilidade de sua utilização aos objetivos a que se propõe. Os resultados respondem aos objetivos central e específicos da pesquisa e indicam a possibilidade da segura utilização das duas escalas.

Cervical cancer remains an important health issue especially in the developing countries that account for about 85% of the world burden of cervical cancer. Finding a role for Doppler ultrasound in the evaluation of these patients, may reduce the cost and improve access to management. This study was aimed at evaluating the Doppler flow parameters in patients with cervical cancer when compared to normal subjects. This was a prospective case control, descriptive and observational study conducted in radiology department, ABU Teaching Hospital, Zaria, Nigeria. Eighty-one patients with cervical cancer and 81 age-matched controls had transabdominal Doppler ultrasound examination of the main uterine arteries. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 20.0 Chicago Illinois USA. Difference between two groups was tested using student ttest and P<0.05 considered as statistically significant. The mean Resistivity Index (RI) and Pulsatility Index (PI) were significantly lower in patients with cervical cancer than the control (P<0.0001). The mean end diastolic velocity was significantly higher in patients than the control (P<0.0001). There was however no significant difference in the mean peak systolic velocity in patients and control (P=0.97). The findings have demonstrated that significant differences exist in the uterine artery Doppler flow parameters in patients with cervical cancer compared to the healthy controls. This emphasizes the role of Doppler scan in the evaluation and management of patients with cervical cancer.

Impact of the Telephone Assistive Device (TAD) on stuttering severity while speaking on the telephone
Authors: Chambers Nola
Published: August 2019

There is extensive experimental evidence that altered auditory feedback (AAF) can have a clinically significant effect on the severity of speech symptoms in people who stutter. However, there is less evidence regarding whether these experimental effects can be observed in naturalistic everyday settings particularly when using the telephone. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Telephone Assistive Device® (TAD), which is designed to provide AAF on the telephone to people who stutter, on reducing stuttering severity. Nine adults participated in a quasi-experimental study. Stuttering severity was measured first without and then with the device in participants’ naturalistic settings while making and receiving telephone calls (immediate benefit). Participants were then allowed a week of repeated use of the device following which all measurements were repeated (delayed benefit). Overall, results revealed significant immediate benefits from the TAD in all call conditions. Delayed benefits in received and total calls were also significant. There was sub­stantial individual variability in response to the TAD but none of the demographic or speech-related factors measured in the study were found to significantly impact the benefit (immediate or delayed) derived from the TAD. Results have implications for clinical decision making for adults who stutter.
Small, Medium and Micro-Sized Enterprises (SMMEs) and the housing construction industry: A possible solution to South Africa's socio-economic problems
Authors: Joubert C. S. , Schoeman N. J. , Blignaut J. N.
Published: August 2019

South Africa as a developing country faces many socio-economic problems like high unemployment, low levels of working skills, poverty and rampant crime. In this paper it is argued that by targeting SMMEs both in general and specifically in the housing construction industry, there is meaningful scope for the creation of jobs in the South African economy. This is mainly because SMMEs are labour intensive. Using Endogenous Growth theory as a basis, it is argued that by employing greater numbers of workers the level of skills in the economy can be raised too.
Petroleum and its consequences for prices, employment and wages in Nigeria
Authors: Llorah Richard
Published: August 2019

The availability of oil resources in Nigeria has had a profound impact on the economy, particularly the economy's sectoral structure. Although the oil sector itself never did put pressure on the other sectors directly, since its labour requirements were negligible, the policy response by the authorities towards the oil revenue inflicted adverse effects on the agricultural sector. Exchange rates appreciated both in nominal and real terms, the latter considered to be a spending effect of the oil boom. Consequently, labour costs increased in terms of the exogenously determined agricultural product prices. The oil resource, undoubtedly, contributed to Nigerian agricultural deterioration.
A note on the effects of public finance on the economy
Authors: Hwang Eui-Gak
Published: August 2019

This note attempts to measure the effects of aggregate government expenditure on GNP growth and monetary policy in a growing economy. A version of the standard St Louis model is used for empirical estimation. Related effects were also estimated by means of South Korean data for the period 1970-1988. The findings, inter alia, support the position that government bondholding is regarded as an asset, not a future tax burden.
Factors that determine the corporate image of South African fast food restaurants
Authors: Van Heerden C. N. , Schreuder A. N. , Gouverneur M.
Published: August 2019

Current operating practices of small businesses indicate that more time is devoted to the cosmetic side of corporate identity than managing service delivery. The main argument pursued in this paper is based on the view that both visual and behavioural corporate identity cues create impressions in the minds of corporate publics to form an overall corporate image. A set of bipolar adjectives was therefore used to test various visual, behavioural and core product elements of restaurant corporate image. A key finding was made that the joint customer service and employee dimension, was rated as the most important factor in the choice of fast food restaurants, which confirms that corporate image is created by visual and behavioural identity.
The casualization of black female labour in South Africa
Authors: Fényes T. I. , Lalthapersad P.
Published: August 2019

Black women workers in South Africa are highly marginalized in that their work has been undervalued and underpaid due to disadvantage and discrimination. They were severely curtailed by legislation that aimed to keep them away from urban areas and the formal job market. This paper reports the results of an empirical study of the work done by black women in the manufacturing and retail industries. The purpose of the study was to determine the kind of work black women do and the nature of the job processes. The article examines the main findings of the study.
The labour supply conditions for the transformation of peasant agriculture in Africa: Lessons from a Malawian experience
Authors: Simukonda Pacharo H.
Published: August 2019

In implementing rural development projects, African states expect that the otherwise poor peasantry would respond positively by maximising use of the productivity-enhancing technologies available to them, in order to improve their income status. The basic requirement is that the producer must supply significantly higher levels of productive labour-time, mainly from subsistence production and other traditional activities. The Malawi experience suggests that this process revolves around the critical role of both the physical and psychological dimensions of labour-time application. Therefore, the transformation of peasant commodity-surplus producers is unlikely to be effectively achieved, unless attainable commodity income is sufficient to at least support both customary production and subjectively defined socio-economic goals.
The organisational culture types of South African firms
Authors: Struwig F. W. , Smith E. E.
Published: August 2019

This article sets out to examine the organisational culture types of South African firms. A literature study revealed four common organisational culture types, namely a power, role, task and person culture. An empirical study of 3000 South African firms by means of a self-administered questionnaire, investigated which of the four organisational culture types the firms exhibit. It appears that most of the respondent firms have a task culture. This culture is one that can adapt quickly, and where influence is based on expertise rather than personal authority. This in turn indicates that most South African firms do have an organisational culture that is compatible with a changing and competitive environment.
The relationships of type A behaviour, organisational and personality variables among pharmacists and accountants: A further analysis
Authors: Wyk R. Van , Boshoff A. B.
Published: August 2019

This paper is a follow-up of a previous study on the correlates of Type A Behaviour among professional workers in South Africa. In the previous study, data were analysed for a joint group of 375 pharmacists and accountants. In the present study, the two professions are analysed separately. Product-Moment Correlation and Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis are used to determine the relationships between Job Satisfaction, Job Involvement, a number of personality variables and Type A Behaviour in samples of accountants (N = 175) and pharmacists (N = 200). Differences between the results for the two occupations were found to exist and are discussed in this paper.
External shocks, financial markets and the real economy: Policy options in South Africa
Authors: Stuart R. A. , Black P. A.
Published: August 2019

The paper considers the transmission of an external shock through the bond, equity, money and foreign exchange markets and, depending on the nature and duration of the shock, the attendant effects on various sectors of the South African economy. While it is acknowledged that the ability of the Reserve Bank to intervene in the foreign exchange markets is limited, it is argued that the current policy may not be appropriate in the face of a sustained speculative attack. Instead, a policy of selective intervention aimed at the relative degrees of change in foreign exchange and interest rates may be used to affect the distribution of costs between various sectors of the economy.
