Bivariate noncentral distributions: An approach via the compounding method
Authors: Ferreira Johan , Bekker Andriette , Arashi Mohammad
Published: October 2022

This paper enriches the existing literature of bivariate noncentral distributions by proposing bivariate noncentral generalised chi-square and F distributions via the employment of the compounding method with Poisson probabilities. This method has been used to a limited extent to obtain univariate noncentral distributions; this study extends some results in literature to the corresponding bivariate setting. The process which is followed to obtain such bivariate noncentral distributions is systematically described and motivated. Some distributions of composites (univariate functions of the dependent components of the bivariate distributions) are derived, in particular the product, ratio, and proportion. Furthermore, an example of possible application is given and discussed to illustrate the versatility of the proposed models.
Estimation under the matrix variate elliptical model
Authors: van Niekerk Janet , Bekker Andriette , Arashi Mohammad , de Waal Daan J.
Published: October 2022

The problem of estimation within the matrix variate elliptical model is addressed. In this paper a subjective Bayesian approach is followed to derive new estimators for the parameters of the matrix variate elliptical model by assuming the previously intractable normal-Wishart prior. These new estimators are compared to the estimators derived under a normal-inverse Wishart prior as well as the objective Jeffreys’ prior which results in the maximum likelihood estimators, using different measures. A valuable contribution is the development of algorithms for the simulation of the posterior distributions of the matrix variate parameters with emphasis on the new proposed estimators. A simulation study as well as Fisher’s Iris data set are used to illustrate the novelty of these new estimators and to investigate the accuracy gained by assuming the normal-Wishart prior.
Simulation of Internal Undular Bores in Rapidly Varying Topography
Authors: Mun Hoe Hooi  , Wei King Tiong  , Kim Gaik Tay
Published: October 2022

This paper intends to look at the influence of rapidly varying regions on the propagation of internal undular bores in a two-layer fluid flow. Internal undular bores have been observed in the ocean around the world. The appropriate mathematical model to describe the evolution of internal undular bores in a stratified fluid is the variable-coefficient extended Korteweg-de Vries equation. The governing equation is solved numerically using the method of lines to simulate the propagation of internal undular bores. Our numerical results show that the effects of rapidly varying topography lead to adiabatic and non-adiabatic deformation of the internal undular bores, including the generation of solitary wavetrain, generation of nonlinear wavetrain and generation of rarefaction wave. Besides, multi-phase behaviour is also observed during the evolution.

Published: October 2022

In the current context of global warming linked to a significant consumption of energy and the emission of considerable amounts of greenhouse gases, it is imperative to optimize the thermal operation of industrial furnaces to reduce consumption and protect our environment. The article focuses on the heat treatment of pottery-ceramic products in a prototype furnace to improve energy efficiency. And thus, the fuel consumption and the corresponding carbon dioxide emissions. In order to make a judicious choice of the best indicator that characterizes the energy efficiency (efficiency and power) and after simplifying the firing process we precede to a parametric identification; this was being done from the measurements made on the process. We propose a prototype gas furnace and we are doing a comparative study of randomly charging and with supports for the firing of ceramic products whose objective is the determination of the optimal operating conditions with respect to an energy criterion taking into account the quality of the product. In this work an experimental analysis with a specific energy consumption (SEC) of 1.15-1.38 kJ/kg prototype furnace is presented and compared to the experimental tests carried out at the traditional furnace of 6.75 kJ/kg used in the pottery-ceramic industry in Morocco. The results of this study show that for firing using supports canals leads to a product of good quality and with reduced consumption between four to six times less of that used by the traditional furnace. On the other hand, the finding of the study show that the prototype furnace emits 402.48 kgCO2eq less compared to traditional furnace (5875kgCO2eq) which allow us to reduce the harmful emissions.

Published: October 2022

Rice fields are areas that have irrigation and rarely have lighting; this is dangerous at night because wild animals such as snakes are difficult to see. Irrigation has low-scale water energy with low-head conditions; hence the Darrieus and Savonius type water turbines are considered suitable for this condition. However, until now, there has been no comprehensive study of the feasibility of the two turbines for irrigation flow. Hence this study presents the experimental work to explore the performances of the Darrieus turbines Two Blade Different Configuration and hybrid Darrieus-Savonius turbine for irrigation flow. Accordingly, four configurations of the water turbines used in these investigations, i.e., Darrieus turbine with two different blades shape the aerofoil of NACA 0016 and NACA 0020, single Darrieus turbine with the aerofoil NACA 0016, single Savonius turbine, and hybrid Darrieus-Savonius turbine with the aerofoil NACA 0016. The mechanical power of the water turbines was measured using a rope brake dynamometer. The results show that the single Darrieus turbine with the aerofoil NACA 0016 has higher tip speed ratios but a lower torque coefficient than the single Savonius turbine. Then, hybrid Darrieus-Savonius turbine with the aerofoil NACA 0016, the maximum power coefficient lower than other. Furthermore, the single Savonius turbine has the highest power coefficient than the other. And the single Darrieus turbine with the aerofoil NACA 0016 shows that the turbine has higher torque than others. Thus, based on the results, a single Darrieus turbine with the aerofoil NACA 0016 is recommended for application.
Experimental Study on Heat Transfer Improvement in a Circular Passage Using Metal Oxide and Ethylene Glycol Based Well Stable Nanofluids
Authors: Waqar Ahmed  , Nor Azwadi Che Sidik  , Yutaka Asako
Published: October 2022

Zinc Oxide @ Glycol based nanofluids was prepared using the ultra-sonochemical technique and 2 step methods. The heat convection characteristics of as prepared nanofluids were observed for a closed single conduit in turbulent flow regimes. The prepared nanofluids were characterized for UV-vis, FTIR, XRD, FESEM, and TEM analysis to confirm the accurate synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles. Analytical data related to heat transfer properties of the synthesized nanofluids for the heat exchanger, incorporated with the conduit test section were collected. The addition of ZnO solid nanoparticles in the Ethylene Glycol enhanced the value of thermal conductivity and other thermo physical characteristics of the nanofluids. Supreme thermal conductivity was recorded at 45°C for using 0.1 wt.% of Zinc Oxide @ Glycol based nanofluids. Adding more wt.% of the ZnO solid nanoparticles in the Ethylene Glycol increased the thermal conductivity subsequently with variations in temperature from 20 to 45ºC. Furthermore, Nusselt numbers of Zinc Oxide @ Glycol based nanofluids were calculated at different wt.% of ZnO present in Ethylene Glycol base fluid. The occurrence of ZnO nanoparticles into the Ethylene Glycol base fluid intensify the Nusselt (Nu) number by 51.5%, 43.79%, 38%and 24.06% for 0.1 wt.%, 0.075 wt.%, 0.05 wt.% and 0.025wt.% concentrations, respectively. Varying wt.% of ZnO (0.1 wt.%, 0.075 wt.%, 0.05 wt.%). The absolute average heat transfer of Zinc Oxide @ Glycol based nanofluids using at the highest concentration of 0.1 wt.% was enhanced compared to the Ethylene Glycol base fluid. The magnitude of absolute average heat transfer was increased from 600 W/m2k for the EG@DW mixture to 1292 W/m2k for Zinc Oxide @ Glycol based nanofluids. Correspondingly, the heat transfer development at the other three (0.075 wt.%, 0.05 wt.%, and 0.025 wt.%) was observed as 600–1167, 600–1010 and 600–970 W/m2k, respectively, which is superior to pure Ethylene Glycol base fluid.
celmech: A Python Package for Celestial Mechanics
Authors: Hadden Sam , Tamayo Daniel
Published: October 2022

We present celmech, an open-source Python package designed to facilitate a wide variety of celestial mechanics calculations. The package allows users to formulate and integrate equations of motion incorporating user-specified terms from the classical disturbing function expansion of the interaction potential between pairs of planets. The code can be applied, for example, to isolate the contribution of particular resonances to a system’s dynamical evolution and develop simple analytical models with the minimum number of terms required to capture a particular dynamical phenomenon. Equations and expressions can be easily manipulated by leveraging the extensive symbolic mathematics capabilities of the sympy Python package. The celmech package is designed to interface seamlessly with the popular N-body code REBOUND to facilitate comparisons between calculation results and direct N-body integrations. The code is extensively documented, and numerous example Jupyter notebooks illustrating its use are available online.
Improved AI-generated Solar Farside Magnetograms by STEREO and SDO Data Sets and Their Release
Authors: Jeong Hyun-Jin , Moon Yong-Jae , Park Eunsu , Lee Harim , Baek Ji-Hye
Published: October 2022

Here we greatly improve artificial intelligence (AI)–generated solar farside magnetograms using data sets from the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) and Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). We modify our previous deep-learning model and configuration of input data sets to generate more realistic magnetograms than before. First, our model, which is called Pix2PixCC, uses updated objective functions, which include correlation coefficients (CCs) between the real and generated data. Second, we construct input data sets of our model: solar farside STEREO extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) observations together with nearest frontside SDO data pairs of EUV observations and magnetograms. We expect that the frontside data pairs provide historic information on magnetic field polarity distributions. We demonstrate that magnetic field distributions generated by our model are more consistent with the real ones than previously, in consideration of several metrics. The averaged pixel-to-pixel CC for full disk, active regions, and quiet regions between real and AI-generated magnetograms with 8 × 8 binning are 0.88, 0.91, and 0.70, respectively. Total unsigned magnetic flux and net magnetic flux of the AI-generated magnetograms are consistent with those of real ones for the test data sets. It is interesting to note that our farside magnetograms produce polar field strengths and magnetic field polarities consistent with those of nearby frontside magnetograms for solar cycles 24 and 25. Now we can monitor the temporal evolution of active regions using solar farside magnetograms by the model together with the frontside ones. Our AI-generated solar farside magnetograms are now publicly available at the Korean Data Center for SDO (http://sdo.kasi.re.kr).
National eDNA-based monitoring of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and amphibian species in Norway
Authors: Osman Omneya Ahmed , Andersson Johan , Martin-Sanchez Pedro M. , Eiler Alexander
Published: October 2022

Freshwaters represent the most threatened environments with regard to biodiversity loss and, therefore, there is a need for national monitoring programs to effectively document species distribution and evaluate potential risks for vulnerable species. The monitoring of species for effective management practices is, however, challenged by insufficient data acquisition when using traditional methods. Here we present the application of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding of amphibians in combination with quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays for an invasive pathogenic chytrid species (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis -Bd), a potential threat to endemic and endangered amphibian species. Statistical comparison of amphibian species detection using either traditional or eDNA-based approaches showed weak correspondence. By tracking the distribution of Bd over three years, we concluded that the risk for amphibian extinction is low since Bd was only detected at five sites where multiple amphibians were present over the sampled years. Our results show that eDNA-based detection can be used for simultaneous monitoring of amphibian diversity and the presence of amphibian pathogens at the national level in order to assess potential species extinction risks and establish effective management practices. As such our study represents suggestions for a national monitoring program based on eDNA.
Au tribunal des risques. Contrôle, autocontrôle et tensions juridiques à la Commission d’examen des troubles mentaux (Québec, Canada)
Authors: Sallée Nicolas , Bernheim Emmanuelle , Ouellet Guillaume , Pariseau-Legault Pierre
Published: October 2022

Cet article porte sur le suivi de personnes préalablement déclarées inaptes à subir leur procès ou criminellement non responsables en raison de troubles mentaux. Au Québec, depuis 1992, ce suivi revient à une instance du tribunal administratif dont les décisions, centrées sur une évaluation des risques pour la sécurité publique, peuvent aboutir à une libération des personnes ou à leur détention à l’hôpital. En nous appuyant sur une enquête ethnographique, nous décrivons la Commission comme un dispositif de contrôle (et d’autocontrôle) au sein duquel la voie médiane de la libération sous conditions joue un rôle pivot. Les pratiques des avocats de la défense, marquées par la prégnance d'une posture paternaliste, témoignent alors de la force d’un dispositif susceptible d’imposer sa logique jusqu’à ses acteurs a priori les plus adverses.
Aide active à mourir : le pluralisme comme facteur déterminant d’une évolution différenciée du droit en Belgique, en France et en Italie
Authors: Tamburini Chiara
Published: October 2022

L’examen approfondi de la législation récente et des débats parlementaires concernant la fin de vie en Belgique, France et Italie, permet d’identifier les raisons politiques et sociales qui ont conduit à une reconnaissance inégale du droit à bénéficier d’une aide active à mourir, que ce soit l’euthanasie ou le suicide assisté. Au-delà des changements dans les rapports de force électoraux et des stratégies politiques des partis, la recherche met en évidence l’incidence de certains éléments sociétaux relativement ignorés dans ce débat jusqu’à présent, tel le niveau de cohésion sociale, de pluralisme et de reconnaissance des libertés individuelles dans chacune des sociétés étudiées. L’article remet aussi en cause certains lieux communs habituellement invoqués pour expliquer ces dynamiques, comme le caractère plus ou moins laïque de l’État.
Les élus locaux au défi de la protection des droits de l’homme : entre « vœux pieux » et « lignes d’horizon »
Authors: Le Bris Catherine , Weill Pierre-Edouard
Published: October 2022

Dans un contexte de mondialisation et de décentralisation, les pouvoirs des collectivités territoriales ont été renforcés. Ceci conduit à nous questionner sur la prise en compte, par les élus locaux français, des droits de l’homme protégés au niveau international : quelles sont leurs représentations et usages dans ce domaine ? Après avoir précisé notre méthodologie, nous présentons ici les résultats de notre enquête. Différents profils d’élus locaux sont distingués. Leurs représentations des droits de l’homme varient selon leur trajectoire sociale, notamment leurs engagements militants. Néanmoins, les usages de ces droits dans l’élaboration et la mise en œuvre des politiques locales dépendent surtout de la taille – plutôt que de la couleur politique – des collectivités territoriales, et donc de leurs ressources économiques et institutionnelles.
La rhétorique du droit : les arts de la vie culturelle en commun
Authors: Boyd White James , Fournier Mireille
Published: October 2022

Dans cet article, l’auteur décrit le phénomène juridique qu’il définit comme une « rhétorique constitutive ». Plutôt que de voir le droit comme un système de règles et de processus bureaucratiques, il suggère que celui-ci est plus utilement vu comme une branche de la rhétorique, l’art qui crée et gère toutes nos sociétés. Une telle conception du droit permet aux juristes et non-juristes d’en faire une critique selon des normes éthiques et esthétiques, en posant des questions telles que : cela reflète-t-il vraiment qui nous sommes et la manière dont nous voulons vivre les uns avec les autres ? S’inspirant de la philosophie grecque, de la poésie classique et de l’œuvre de Ludwig Wittgenstein, l’auteur invite le lecteur à un voyage pour découvrir un nouveau rapport au droit ancré dans la créativité et la persuasion plutôt que dans la seule autorité.

Dans « Pourquoi le travail social ? » (1972), la revue Esprit dénonçait un contrôle des classes populaires. Mais selon « À quoi sert le travail social ? » (1998), les travailleurs sociaux sont devenus des réparateurs, souvent inefficaces, du lien social. Peut-on désormais envisager le soin comme une alternative à la production ?

Sous la plume de Joyce, Dublin devient une ville-monde utopique. Se jouant de la langue anglaise, Ulysse (1922) œuvre à la vie juste après la guerre, tandis que la polyphonie de Finnegans Wake (1939), dont les interprétations sont infinies, ouvre à un présent vivant.
The gender-job satisfaction debate in the light of the “gendered organizations”
Authors: Coron Clotilde
Published: October 2022

La littérature académique est particulièrement féconde sur les relations entre genre et satisfaction au travail. Des recherches conduites dans des pays anglo-saxons ont montré que les femmes déclarent en moyenne des niveaux de satisfaction au travail plus élevés, alors qu’elles sont généralement désavantagées en matière de conditions de travail par rapport aux hommes. Cependant, d’autres recherches menées dans d’autres pays ont donné des résultats différents. Une hypothèse mise en avant dans ce débat porte sur d’éventuelles différences genrées concernant les antécédents de la satisfaction au travail. Cette recherche vise à explorer cette hypothèse en lien avec le courant théorique des « organisations genrées », qui incite à prêter attention aux interactions entre genre et pratiques de GRH. Elle se fonde pour ce faire sur des modèles de régression linéaire multiple avec des effets de modération, estimés sur les données de l’enquête REPONSE 2017 de la DARES. Elle montre que les effets positifs du télétravail et des dispositifs formels d’évaluation de performance sur la satisfaction au travail sont plus élevés pour les femmes que pour les hommes, alors que les effets du temps partiel et de la formation sont les mêmes pour femmes et hommes.

Authors: Paillé Pascal , Valéau Patrick
Published: October 2022

Cet article propose d’aborder la thématique de la gestion des ressources humaines environnementales, d’en faire une brève présentation et d’identifier quelques enjeux de recherche. La gestion des ressources humaines environnementales est un domaine de recherche relativement nouveau. Cet article en propose un portrait parmi d’autres possibles. Dans sa forme contemporaine, contrastant avec les premières recherches, la gestion des ressources humaine environnementales aborde l’écologisation des pratiques en adoptant un point de vue plus sociétal et moins technique. Cet article présente les origines de la gestion des ressources humaines environnementale, ses liens avec des domaines d’étude apparentés, et propose une description de plusieurs conséquences sous l’angle de l’approche AMO. L’article se termine par l’identification de quelques pistes de recherche et quelques implications managériales.
La quête du « non marqué »

Published: October 2022

Une lecture linguistique ne peut faire l’économie de la prise en compte de la dimension du point de vue politique dans la mesure où, si le langage féministe – dont l’écriture inclusive fait partie – peut être au service de la société égalitaire dans son ensemble, il est aussi le lieu d’une exclusion de l’approche de la communication pour toutes les catégories de la population qui n’ont pas les codes pour déchiffrer ce langage. C’est cette tension qui sera interrogée.
Subir les effets non voulus de notre action sur la nature
Authors: Malinge Yoann
Published: October 2022

Face à l’épidémie de SARS-CoV-2, chacun d’entre nous se trouve démuni, faute de comprendre les causes réelles de cet événement. En utilisant des concepts issus de la philosophie de Sartre, cet article propose de mettre au jour les causes de l’épidémie à partir des actions collectives qui ont conduit au passage de la « barrière des espèces ». Ce faisant, il s’agit d’interroger les effets subis et non voulus de nos propres actions. Plutôt que de tenir pour responsables les premières victimes de l’épidémie, il faut se demander comment il serait possible de neutraliser les causes de l’épidémie. L’action collective apparaît alors non plus comme le problème mais comme la solution.
Entretenir, réparer, augmenter : trois visions du soin et de la médecine
Authors: Svandra Philippe
Published: October 2022

Nous soutiendrons dans cet article qu’il existe une différence profonde de nature, et pas seulement de degré, entre les actions qui visent à l’entretien de la vie («  care  ») ou à la réparation des hommes («  cure  ») et celles qui se proposent d’augmenter le potentiel humain. Quand les deux premières cherchent à aider les humains tels qu’ils sont à mieux supporter les divers maux qui les accablent, la troisième vise à rendre possible l’émergence d’un homme nouveau, non pas réparé mais augmenté. Il faut cependant remarquer que ces trois approches partent paradoxalement du même constat : le caractère fondamentalement vulnérable de l’existence humaine.

A Review on Detection and Mitigation Analysis of Distributed Denial of Service Attacks and Their Effects on the Cloud
Authors: Devi Savita , Bharti Taran Singh
Published: October 2022

To save money on maintenance and administrative costs, cloud computing aims to move high-end computer equipment to the internet and put it online. Both victims and attackers may reap the advantages of cloud computing. On the other side, attacks on cloud components might lead to massive losses for cloud service providers and users. Numerous cyber-attacks have been launched as a consequence of this readily available resource. One of the most significant hazards to communication networks and applications has long been DoS and DDoS attacks. Operations, availability, and security for companies are becoming a nightmare because of these attacks. Since cloud computing resources are scalable, these resources may be dynamically scaled to recognise the attack components and immediately withstand the attack. For this cyber-attack against cloud computing, fast exploitation of the attack data is necessary. This article addresses the majority of the previously published strategies for DDoS attack avoidance, early identification, and remediation.

Published: October 2022

Many studies have been conducted on the development of young children; however, not many have explored the cognitive processes of prereaders. The eye-tracker has been used with success to investigate the cognitive processes of young children abroad, but such studies are lacking in Malaysia. This study used an experimental procedure created with eye-tracking technology on 22 prereaders (aged 5 to 6) in a Malaysian kindergarten. The prereaders were exposed to four conditions: (1) listening to narration and viewing a congruent picture with text, (2) listening to narration and viewing an incongruent picture with text, (3) viewing a picture with text without narration, and (4) listening to narration and viewing a text. The main objective of this project is to test which content of pictures helps the students understand the narration and the text, and how they use visual attention to build a better understanding. The findings revealed that children strongly preferred pictures to texts, but when the narration was not present, they spent more time looking at the text.
An Attempt to Examine Digital Native and Digital Immigrant Macau Graphic Designers' Perceptions of Adopting Generative Design
Authors: Man Lau Ching , Caires Carlos Sena
Published: October 2022

The manifestation of generating digital visuals through an algorithm is gaining worldwide attention in the graphic design industry. It is a new form of computing that visualizes data input by the designer or collected in the physical environment and turns them into artwork. The generative design of ‘Macau Design Award 2019' was the first of its kind being adopted locally. This key visual design received mixed feedback in the field. There is concern that erroneous perceptions of such a new way of designing could detach Macau from the global design trend. The purpose of this paper, in the form of an exploratory case study combined with a survey, is to understand local graphic designers' perspectives of generative design. The authors want to examine how digital native and digital immigrant designers perceive the phenomenon and their degree of acceptance. The data were obtained through an online questionnaire shared with the Macau Designers Association members. UTAUT2 model was employed to analyse the main obstacles to their attitudes towards adopting generative design in their artwork.
Attacks on Resource-Constrained IoT Devices and Security Solutions
Authors: Sharma Ravi , Sharma Nonita
Published: October 2022

An IoT is a complex system of interconnected electronic devices that exchange data over the network. Due to the sensitive nature of the data involved in this new technological paradigm, security measures must be taken with great care. Researchers can better understand the threats and weaknesses of the IoT if attacks are categorized to facilitate the development of a more robust defense system. This study discusses various attacks and statistical data related to IoT. These attacks are divided into two categories: physical and cyber-attacks. Based on the literature review, the authors found that social engineering and DoS are the most common attacks in the physical and cyber categories. This study demonstrates the security solutions inherent to securing the IoT environment. Cryptography, blockchain, software-defined networks, and machine learning techniques were reviewed. They also discussed steps that should be taken to make a safe IoT environment.

Published: October 2022

Traditional banks face the issue of risk diversification, and it is dealt with when they evolve into financial institutions. So, the present study aims to investigate banking and off-balance sheet (OBS)-based risks and regulatory changes in certain age-old South Asian (SA) banks and finds the tenacity of the OBS in the long run. For these research goals, two estimates are applied: fixed effects (FE) and generalized method of moments (GMM). Using FE, the researchers estimate the realm and time for finding financial shocks and other time-related factors affecting the SA countries. The majority of findings reveal a constant market theory stating the performance of SA in assessing OBS-related risks. Banks in SA also seem to follow the market regulatory and TT in capital needs that will incentivize banks to take too much risk in off-balance sheet activities (OBSA). The research findings are practically applied to bank-related risks, pressure from regulatory restructuring, and dangers from the systematic factors beneficial to policymakers and practitioners.

Authors: Abebe Kebede , Deresse Birrie , Negeri Keneni Gutema
Published: October 2022

Adherence to antiepileptic drug therapy in people with epilepsy is critical for seizure control. Poor adherence to epilepsy treatment, on the other hand, is recognized as a worldwide problem, particularly in developing countries such as Ethiopia. As a result, the current study seeks to ascertain patients’ adherence to antiepileptic medications and the factors that influence it at Hawassa University Comprehensive Specialized Hospital in Southern Ethiopia. From February 1 to October 15, 2017, 187 people with epilepsy who were on followup at Hawassa University Comprehensive Specialized Hospital underwent a hospitalbased retrospective medical review. Adherence was measured using Morisky Medication Scale-8. Data was entered and analyzed using the soft ware Statistical package for social sciences version 20. The results were summarized using cross-tabulations and frequency tables. While binary logistic regression was used to analyze factors associated with adherence to antiepileptic drug therapy, significance was declared at p<0.05. According to the findings of the current study, about nineteen percent of the study participants were nonadherent to their treatment. Compared to patients with monthly income of less than 1000.00 ETB, those who earn>3000.00 ETB [AOR=0.164, 95% CI (0.038: 0.702)] and those with monthly income between 2000 and 3000 ETB [AOR=0.110, 95%CI (0.026:0.461)] [AOR=0.110, 95% CI (0.026:0.461)] are less likely associated with non-adherent to antiepileptic drugs (P<0.05). Likewise, patients who perceived epilepsy as psychiatric disorder [AOR= 0.250, 95%CI (0.087: 0.716)] compared to those who perceive it as neurologic, and those patients with seizure free period of less than one year [AOR= 0.206, 95%CI(0.076:0.562)] compared to those with seizure free period of more than one year are found to be less non adherent (p<0.05).
White South African managers: How different are they?

Published: October 2022

Hierdie artikel doen verslag oor die bevindings van 'n houdingsontleding van blanke Suid-Afrikaanse bestuurders. Dit vergelyk die opvattings van Engels- en Afrikaanssprekende bestuurders met vyf streeksgroepe (Griekeland, Spanje, Sentraal-Europa, Skandinawië en die V.S.A.) t.o.v. vier basiese dimensies (konsiliasie; risiko; selfbepaling; en vertroue) soos vervat in 'n studie deur Cummings, Harnett, en Stevens (1971). Daar is bevind dat Suid-Afrikaanse bestuurders strydlustiger is as hulle teenhangers in Griekeland, Spanje, Sentraal-Europa, Skandinawië, en die V.S.A.. Hoewel die verskille t.o.v. die ander drie houdings kleiner is, is die Suid-Afrikaanse bestuurder geneig om effens agterdogtiger to wees, glo minder in selfbepaling en is effens meer risiko-geneigd.In teenstelling met die hipoteses, is geen statisties-beduidende verskille (Cummings, Schmikl en Blackburn, 1976) gevind tussen Engels- en Afrikaanssprekende taalgroepe t.o.v. enigeen van die vier houdings wat gemeet is nie volgens 'n aangepaste Shure-Meeker Persoon­likheids-/Houding-skedule (1967).Die navorsingsresultate word geïnterpreteer binne 'n breë raamwerk van moontlike oorsake.

A Systems Approach to Logistics
Authors: Dekker R. , Van den Berg P. H.
Published: October 2022

In hierdie artikel word Logistiek as 'n stelsel benader en daar word gepoog om die interverwantskappe tussen die individuele aktiwiteite te identifiseer.  Die stelsel wat in hierdie artikel bespreek word moet as 'n verwysingsraamwerk gesien word waarbinne elke firma sy eie behoeftes en stelsel kan definieer. Die eienskappe van 'n logistiese stelsel asook die verwantskappe tussen aktiwiteite word behandel.

The Current Status of Performance Appraisal: An Organization Case Study
Authors: Templer Andrew J.
Published: October 2022

Presies hoeveel het maatskappye se prestasiebeoordelingstegnieke met die verloop van tyd verbeter! Om hierdie vraag te beantwoord vergelyk die artikel die huidige tegnieke met die vroeëre tegnieke. Die prestasie-beoordelingstelsel, in werking, is by 'n groot multinasionale maatskappy ondersoek in terme van wat werknemers as die waarde daarvan beskou. Werknemers kon geen voordeel daarin sien om van formele prestasie-beoordeling af te sien nie, maar daar is vasgestel dat die stelsel vier belangrike tekortkominge het: bestuurders se onwilligheid om te beoordeel; gebrek aan voortsettingswerk, veelvoudige doelstellinge en topbestuur se gebrek aan verbondenheid. Die metodologie wat in beoordelingstudies gebruik word, word bespreek en 'n evaluering gegee van die effek op bevonde resultate.

Bemarkingsproduktiwiteit: 'n Mikro-Beskouing
Authors: De J. Cronjé G. J.
Published: October 2022

The problems of defining and measuring the productivity of firms are anything but new. During the years that production was increased to supply the needs of rapidly growing markets, major problems of the productivity of production were met and solved with little attention given to the productivity of marketing. Much later however, when marketing emerged as a separate field of study, meaningful efforts were made to improve the productivity of marketing. In fact, so much has been said and written on marketing performance that it is very difficult to offer any new ideas on the subject. In spite of this the need for additional and improved concepts on marketing productivity is greater than at any time in the recent past. The author expresses some views on the meaning and measurement of the marketing productivity of the firm in which the marketing function is the predominent one.

'n Alternatiewe model vir arbeidsbetrekkinge in Suid-Afrika
Authors: De Villiers Dawie
Published: October 2022

The need for a review of the industrial relations system in South Africa is confirmed by an analysis of the motives underlying the 1973 strikes indicating that (a) a need for job security, expressed as assurance against arbitrary management action, and (b) a need to participate in decisions on matters concerning labour directly.Although Act 70 of 1973 interpreted the needs of labour correctly and created the basic mechanism for consultation, this legislation is basically sterile because management choose to interpret the act in such a way that they can retain their authoritarian, paternalistic control over black labour, but also because no bargaining powers are vested in labour, especially black labour.The result is that, instead of using the sound consultative mechanism available, black labour is forced by management approach to drive for black unions that will provide them with bargaining power via their collective force. Legislation can only result in building in prohibitive constraints and cannot regulate the industrial relations system, and at very best it can only confuse the system which can in turn only result in a tension relationship.The result of the discussion was that the solution to the Industrial Relations problems in South Africa is a consultative process founded on a one-to-one relationship between management and labour within the organisation, legalised by the organisation within the organisation and supervised by a neutral arbitrator (not a goverment representative).
Die groterwordende sosiale verantwoordelikheid van die onderneming in Suid-Afrika
Authors: Office Editorial
Published: October 2022

Little doubt exists that South Africa is experiencing social and economic problems of threatening attitude. Business must get involved in the solutions of these problems, not only because its own survival is at stake, but also because business has special advantages above other institutions of society to tackle the problems. By making a visible contribution to the solution of social problems, an opportunity is utilized to gain a position of leadership within society. This, however, will require co-operation and co-ordination amongst individual firms and between business and government. Managers will have to develop a long term approach toward profit maximization. Encouraging evidence exists that business is prepared to make a contribution to the solution of society's pressing problems.
Die beeld van die Kleinhandelsonderneming as beïnvloeder van winkelondersteuning
Authors: Jooste C. J.
Published: October 2022

The failure or success of many retailtensenesses, the writer of this article maintains, can be attributed to either ineffective or effective decisions regarding aspects such as settlement, prices, promotion, quality and variety of products offered for sale. These decisions are viewed as an entity by the consumer. The consumer establishes for himself an image of the retail business and this image largely determines whether or not the consumer considers the retailer as an acceptable service point where his purchasing needs will be satisfied. The image so formed, therefore, has an important influence on the success of the retailer, because it largely determines who will support the business. Retail management exercises a direct influence on this image of the shop through decisions regarding the socalled controllable factors. The image forming process also includes a subjective element in the form of the consumer's evaluation of the controllable functional aspects. The process by which consumers digest the functional inputs into a shop image can be understood by analysing consumer behaviour. Retail management can, therefore, by making decisions regarding controllable functional factors based on knowledge about needs, desires and behaviour of consumers, project a certain shop image which would entice people to support the business.
The developmental approach to the growth of organisations
Authors: O'Meara John
Published: October 2022

Hierdie artikel handel oor die evolusie van organisasies met besondere verwysing na die Eases waardeur organisasies gaan en die kragte onderliggend aan hulle groei en ontwikkeling. Dit is 'n poging om die werk van Lievegoed, Blake en Mouton, Likert en Greiner te sintetiseer. Elk van hierdie skrywers benader die onderwerp verskillend, maar daaruit tree die elemente van 'n ontwikkelingsteorie na vore. Ontwikkelingsteorie maak dit vir maatskappye moontlik om die ontwikkelingsfase waarin hulle hulle bevind, te bepaal en wat hulle moet doen om vooruit te gaan. Die teorie is ook van toepassing op nasionale vlak. Volkere en rasse-groepe bevind hulle op verskillende stadia van ontwikkeling wat die bron is van baie probleme op nasionale en internasionale vlak. Die skrywer is van mening dat hierdie konsep van toepassing is op baie van ons plaaslike probleme. Hy beskou ontwikkelingsteorie as 'n makrobenadering wat 'n nuttige verwysingsraamwerk voorsien vir 'n begrip van organisatoriese groei en 'n waardevolle konsep in bestuursopleiding.

Wat moet ons ekonomiese doelwitte onder die huidige omstandighede wees?
Authors: Cronje F. J.C.
Published: October 2022

The joint effect of enormous external political pressure on South Africa and internal racial tension has been a lack of foreign capital in spite of excellent investment opportunities. Matters are aggravated by a deep recession in South Africa, with consequent increasing unemployment, and by a high inflation rate. The situation requires a new look at economic objectives and priorities. The obvious top priority is a rapid economic growth rate, firstly to create employment opportunities for the rapidly growing population, and secondly to promote the narrowing of the wage gap between different population groups. The required growth rate, however, is regarded by many as a potential stimulus to inflation. Several factors related to inflation are analysed, and it appears that government spending correlates more closely with inflation rates than does growth rate as such. A vital factor with considerable potential for increasing the growth rate and creating new opportunities is the improvement of agricultural productivity in the homelands - with the further benefit that it would not require large capital investment and would not be inflationary.
