Clinical profile of heart failure in Beta-Thalassaemia Major (ß-TM): Case studies with current consideration and future perspectives
Authors: Sanzgiri Prakash , Agarwal Mohan , Reddy Charan , Potdar Priytanka
Published: September 2022

Background: Cardiac involvement is a major cause of mortality in Beta-Thalassaemia Major (ß-TM) patients. Despite many advances in therapeutic management of ß-TM, cardiac involvement remains the primary cause of mortality in ~70% of the cases. Chronic iron overloading results in thalassaemic cardiomyopathy, leading to diastolic dysfunction and overt heart failure (HF). Serial electrocardiography (ECG), 2D-echocardiography (2DECHO) and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) help in early detection and risk stratification of ß-TM patients, to prevent complications, such as arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. An established network of care between thalassaemia centres and local health providers is essential for optimal management. Case presentation: We report 2 cases of HF in ß-TM of varied etiology, and different approaches undertaken for its early diagnosis and treatment. Conclusion: It is important to differentiate various phenotypes of cardiomyopathy in ß-TM. Since, the management of each varies accordingly. ß-TM patients require a multi-disciplinary approach that includes HF specialists, haematologist, hepatologist, endocrinologist, psychologist, transfusion experts and nursing personnel to maximise benefits from the application of the modern HF therapeutic strategies in evaluation, monitoring and treatment.
Unpacking the mysteries of Parvovirus B19 Myocarditis
Authors: Hassan Karim , Doubell Anton , Herbst Philip
Published: September 2022

Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart muscle, most often caused by viral infections. Its diagnosis can be difficult due to the heterogeneity of presentations that often mimic other common cardiological conditions, such as acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and heart failure. Although most cases are benign and self-limiting, it can also take on a more malignant course complicated by life-threatening arrhythmias, cardiogenic shock, and sudden cardiac death (SCD). A certain proportion of patients progress to develop dilated cardiomyopathies (DCMO). The developed world has experienced a shift in viral pathogens detected in patients with acute myocarditis over the past 20 years, and Parvovirus B19 (PVB19) and human herpesvirus-6 (HHV6) are currently the most commonly identified viruses in the myocardium of patients with viral myocarditis. The clinical relevance and pathological roles of these viruses however remain questioned. This focused review aims to use 2 cases of PVB19 myocarditis managed by our unit to explore issues related to the clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of PVB19 myocarditis along with controversies surrounding the pathogenic role and clinical relevance of PVB19 in myocarditis.
Mas o choro já não é patrimônio? Ressonâncias e desafios do processo de patrimonialização do choro
Authors: Campos Lúcia , Aragão Pedro , Velloso Rafael
Published: September 2022

O artigo descreve o processo de instrução para registro do choro como patrimônio cultural pelo IPHAN, em curso desde março de 2020. Além do desafio de abarcar a abrangência histórica e geográfica do choro, trata-se da primeira instrução de registro inteiramente realizada de forma remota, devido à pandemia de Covid-19. Visa-se, desse modo, refletir sobre as ressonâncias e desafios do processo, que busca a mediação e articulação permanentes entre, por um lado, a esfera pública e as normativas estabelecidas pelo IPHAN e, por outro, a escuta sensível e compreensiva das diversas demandas de participação e de reconhecimento das comunidades do choro. São descritas as etapas da pesquisa e as decisões metodológicas que a pautaram, como a realização de seminários e de entrevistas via plataformas online e a elaboração de um amplo inventário sobre o choro em todas as regiões do país em torno de quatro eixos (acervos, associações e clubes do choro, ações educativas, rodas e lugares de performance) que objetiva a disponibilização de um banco de dados público e colaborativo.

Diseño social y diseño cívico: perspectivas de innovación social
Authors: Hernández Romero Yissel
Published: September 2022

The Covid-19 health crisis led to changes in daily practices, significantly altering the social, economic and psychological dynamics of the population. This meant for industrial design the possibility of developing new products and services. What seemed to be a scenario full of opportunities, made visible and strengthened effects that were far from solving the problems and, on the contrary, generated others. In this context of crisis, this work aimed to identify design approaches focused on social innovation, whose impact transcended immediacy and whose proposals, in the current scenario, were relevant. To make a diagnosis of the role of industrial design in dealing with problems linked to the crisis, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the emerging problems identified by the UN were taken as a reference, as well as the agenda of the World Design Organization (WDO). Finally, social design and civic design were analyzed as proposals for social innovation.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: Vomiting is one of the most common symptoms in children and a common reason for seeing a doctor. The causes are very numerous and unusually diverse, but in most cases, vomiting is of organic origin.

Objective: This paper is a retrospective case study - control, performed in the Pediatric Clinic of Spitalul Clinic Judeţean Constanţa, which aims to evaluate the clinical and etiological aspects of vomiting in infants.

Material and method: The statistical study was performed over a period of 6 months (January 1st, 2019 - June 30th, 2019), on a group of 1091 infants selected from a total number of 3943 children hospitalized during this period in the Pediatric Clinic. The patients in the study group ranged in age from 0 to 12 months. The data were extracted from the patient observation sheets in the archives of the Pediatrics Department.

Results and discussions: The retrospective study carried out resulted in the following important aspects related to the etiological particularities of vomiting. Of the total number of infants admitted during the study period, vomiting was a symptom in 29.60% of cases.The analysis of the study revealed the predominance of organic etiology (79.57%), with clear predominance in newborns and infants of cases of vomiting with organic etiology (79.56%). Cases of vomiting with functional etiology occurred in the newborn and infant are represented by eating errors.Within the organic etiology, the digestive pathology predominates, accumulating a percentage of 53.86% of the total cases of vomiting occurred at this age. Of the diseases with extradigestive organic etiology, most were represented by respiratory diseases and ORL. The functional etiology registered a percentage of 20.43%, this predominating in infants, age group 7 - 11 months.

Conclusions: The idea that emerges from the study is that infants with vomiting are in large numbers and have a very varied etiology, so is necessary to apply a clear investigation algorithm, with the correct establishment of the diagnosis in each case, which leads to the best therapeutic conduct.

Published: September 2022

Con el de objetivo identificar las representaciones sociales de los docentes de la Institución Universitaria de Envigado acerca de la educación inclusiva, se realizó este estudio con un enfoque cualitativo, de tipo descriptivo y diseño fenomenológico. Una muestra poblacional de 27 docentes de carrera sirvió para recolectar información mediante un cuestionario sometido a evaluación de expertos y estructurado en torno a cuatro categorías: 1) conocimiento sobre educación inclusiva; 2) implementación de estrategias en el aula; 3) actitudes en los espacios formativos; 4) percepción de la diversidad. Los resultados indican concepciones dominantes enmarcadas en tres enfoques: de derecho, diferencial y político. Prevalece la propuesta de adoptar mejores estrategias en las relaciones estudiante-docente y se destacan en los docentes actitudes positivas hacia los procesos inclusivos. Se concluye que es necesario acentuar y oficializar espacios de socialización para relativizar la percepción, el rol y las practicas pedagógicas, y producir decisiones y estrategias efectivas hacia la educación inclusiva.

Agitations for Self-Identification and (Re)presentation in Selected Tshivenda Poetry
Authors: Sebola Moffat
Published: September 2022

Tshivenda poetry thematises varied notions of selfhood and culture, among others. Within this thematisation, longings for the freedom to self-identify and (re)present the self or selves show up as recurrent themes. For analytical convenience, 10 Tshivenda poems were purposively selected and analysed in this article. The analysis is based on a predetermined set of themes, namely, the quest for identity and authenticity, notions of being and belonging, and intersections of identity, memory, home and renaissance. The paper deployed a qualitative research approach and was theoretically undergirded by Afrocentricity. The analysis reveals that Tshivenda poetry demystifies the metanarratives propounded by colonialists and apartheid exponents to negate African people’s selfhood and culture. The analysis further reveals that the indigenes have always had ways to express their selfhood and ideological outlook, including agentively challenging false hegemonic discourses about them. This paper adds to the ongoing discourse on the politics of identity, belonging and discourses focused on how the formerly colonised asserted and still assert their presence and agency during and after decades of marginalisation and repression. It is recommended that aspects of African selfhood and culture captured in Tshivenda literature should form part of African indigenous knowledge systems that need to be studied in institutions of basic and higher education.
Trauma and the Dialectics of Recuperation in Abdulrazak Gurnah’s By the Sea
Authors: Goddard Kevin , Goddard Sheena
Published: September 2022

This article argues that Abdulrazak Gurnah’s By the Sea (2001) is unusual in contemporary fiction in that it suggests a way in which the lost past can be recuperated, both in the sense of being reclaimed and in the sense of healing past conflicts. The primary means by which this is shown to happen is through a dialectical encounter between the hitherto opposing groups or ideologies. The novel uses migrant distancing from the African past to ameliorate the pain experienced in that past and the close encounter between the two protagonists, Saleh Omar and Latif Mahmud, with long and bitter family histories, to explore how a dialectical relationship can be developed. By having to reframe past assumptions, each character must change not only his way of thinking about the other, but also about the past and himself. The theory used in the paper is mostly Hegelian, but also psychoanalytic.
“A New Race of Immortals”: A Posthumanist Reading of “Poe Posthumous; or, the Light-House”
Authors: Zhou Xinshuo , Wang Quan
Published: September 2022

This article proposes a posthumanist reading of Joyce Carol Oates’s “Poe Posthumous; or, The Light-House,” and argues that posthumanism provides human beings with a new way of living. In the story, the narrator comes to the Light-House at Viña de Mar to participate in a scientific experiment. As an “exemplary specimen of Homo sapiens,” the narrator endeavours to preserve human knowledge, which symbolises his superiority over nonhuman species. However, on becoming further involved in nature, he gradually abandons his anthropocentric thought, and learns to live with other species. The posthumanist thought finds its full expression in the symbiotic coexistence of multiple species and culminates in the narrator’s cross-species marriage to a female Cyclophagus. The juxtaposition of the decentring of anthropocentrism with the ascent of nonhuman agents highlights the posthumanist coexistence of humans and nonhumans.
The Influence of Financial Literacy on Retirement Planning in South Africa
Authors: Dhlembeu Nyasha Tapiwa , Kekana Mamekwa Katlego , Mpinda Mpinda Freddy
Published: September 2022

Background: A shift in the retirement planning and pensions landscape has created an enormous responsibility for individuals to plan for their retirement provision actively. Very few South Africans reach the average retirement age of 65 years with sufficient funds to sustain themselves during their retirement.
Purpose/objective: Using secondary data from the 2011 South African Social Attitudes Survey (SASAS), this study aims to examine the influence financial literacy has on the retirement planning of South Africans. The secondary aim of the study was to investigate the financial literacy and retirement planning behaviour of certain demographic groups: gender, age, race, education, and income levels.
Design/methodology: Binomial logistic regression is used to establish if financial literacy influences planning for retirement.
Findings: The results show that financial literacy significantly influences retirement planning. Furthermore, only 24% of South Africans actively plan for retirement and financial literacy was particularly low among women, less educated individuals and Black African people.
Research limitations: Firstly, the study relies on self-reported measures. Secondly, the binomial logistic regression analysis only indicates the likelihood of an individual planning for retirement based on their financial literacy score.
Originality/value: This study contributes to retirement planning literature as it is one of the few studies that explore retirement planning and financial literacy in the context of a developing country using a geographic, nationally representative sample.
A Quantitative Analysis of Valuation Disclosure in Published Business Rescue Plans
Authors: Conradie Shaneen , Lamprecht Christiaan
Published: September 2022

Purpose: Given the importance of valuations in business rescue and the vague guidance provided by the Companies Act 71 of 2008, the study analyses valuation-related disclosure in published business rescue plans (PPs) in South Africa (SA). The main objective of the paper, in addition to being exploratory of actual practices, was to highlight a need for improvements in the Companies Act legislation to support more consistent practices.
Design: A quantitative content analysis was done of 55 PPs between 2013 and 2018, using descriptive content analysis and inferential statistical techniques.
Findings: Primarily, the list of material assets were disclosed at accounting book values in PPs, and liquidation values were mostly independently determined. PPs described various risks relating to the implementation of the PP; however, the PPs mostly lacked calculations of how the risk will affect the business rescue value. On average, the business rescue value exceeded the liquidation value with 36.4 cents for concurrent creditors compared to 33.7 and 21.2 cents for preferent and secured creditors, respectively. Notably, when the PP included a sale of the business, offers received were, on average, 2.5 times the liquidation value and represented 57% of the book value of the company’s assets at the time.
Practical implications: The study suggests improvements to the Companies Act to support more consistent valuation-related disclosure in PPs in SA, in particular, the disclosure of the valuation basis used, the average business rescue premium and offers relative to asset values. Such disclosure would provide evidence to investors on the sound potential of investing in a financially distressed company in SA but, at the same time, set realistic sale expectations for both creditors, BRPs and shareholders.
Originality: In view of limited empirical evidence on business rescue prices, the article presents the results of original research in this field.

Lifelong Learning towards the Achievement of Environment and Sustainable Development in Ghana
Authors: Donkoh Ruth , Twerefoo Portia Oware , Donkor Josephine , Boateng Solomon A , Lee Wing On
Published: September 2022

The government of Ghana has demonstrated its ambition to achieve Sustainable Development Goals SDGs—presently a global catch-cry—through numerous educational developments. However, Ghana still battles with the tensions of environmental degradation such as illegal mining, water pollution, bad farming practices, and improper waste disposal, among several others. Therefore, this paper explores lifelong learning and sustainable development in Ghana. This is done through the implementation of retrospective literature evaluation and qualitative methods. The paper employs available literature and a hands-on study, which commences by tracking the history of lifelong learning, the importance of lifelong learning, and how Ghana demonstrates its support of lifelong learning to ensure sustainable development. A critical analysis is conducted on the reasons why Ghana persistently battles with environmental degradation. Numerous examples are presented as evidence to support the findings and formulate recommendations. The identification of these obstacles to achieving SDGs will enable the government, policymakers and citizens of Ghana to contribute their quota to the achievement of SDGs. This study will also help Ghana to redeem its natural resources, which have deteriorated over time.
The Agenda of Simon Sekone Maimela as Student Political Activist in the Black Consciousness Context at Umphumulo Lutheran Theological College
Authors: Mashabela Kenokeno
Published: September 2022

In this article, the early days of Simon Sekone Maimela as a theological student at Umphumulo Lutheran Theological College are unpacked. He was one of the Lutheran theological students who actively established the Black Consciousness Movement at this college. He was also involved in the South African Student Organisation and other civil organisations. During his theological college days, it was not an easy task to establish this type of movement or to be involved in any civil organisation that was resisted by most White teaching staff and under apartheid in South Africa. Maimela connected his Christian faith with a life of socio-political justice. His contribution in the Lutheran Church in Southern Africa, particularly to the issue of pastors’ working conditions and salaries, is also described in this article. Another vital discussion is how Maimela introduced feminist theology lessons at the University of South Africa in 1981. Archives such as letters, minutes and reports of and about Maimela were used to compile this article. Interviews with Maimela and with his church and teaching colleagues were also conducted.
From Orthodoxy to Orthopraxis: A Theological Analysis of the Seventh-day Adventist Engagement with Development, Relief and Humanitarian Crises in Zimbabwe in the 21st Century
Authors: Mlambo Morris
Published: September 2022

This article explores the role of the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) in development and relief work in society, assessing whether it is guided by orthodoxy or orthopraxis in the wake of human rights violations. It traces the history of the SDA’s involvement in Zimbabwe’s development, relief and humanitarian processes, checking its stance on prevailing human rights abuses. It delineates whether or not the SDA’s apolitical and non-social activism is due to the influence of the Millerites’ theological and philosophical concepts within the SDA. We should do theology for the people, and that calls for orthopraxis more than orthodoxy. The SDA’s missiological responsibility should not be limited to the pulpit, failing to cater for the prophetic voice challenging social ills. In pursuit of this, the article employs social sciences in unpacking structural societal functions of the church in its quest to be relevant. A biblical and doctrinal reflection of the SDA will be utilised in this analysis. The pastoral theology of the SDA, which is more grounded on the people’s concrete experience, will be interrogated. This work will analyse socio-economic problems in Zimbabwe and show the efforts of the SDA to bring change and transformation to the lives of suffering Zimbabweans. The relevant question is: Could it be possible for the SDA in Zimbabwe to sustain a withdrawal and non-participation stance against the backdrop of this crisis? The SDA’s withdrawal stance as a Christian denomination has not had much influence on the development and political processes compared to other Christian institutions in Zimbabwe. Because religion saturates the existence of Africans, the enquiry of religion and development is very significant. This article argues that the prophetic voice of the SDA and its missiological responsibility have been deployed during the crisis years in Zimbabwe.
Utenga Wambone—the “Good News”: An Exploration of Historical Ciyawo Bible Translations and Linguistic Texts
Authors: Houston Tobias J.
Published: September 2022

The Yawo people of Malawi, Mozambique, and Tanzania first had linguistic texts produced about their language in the latter half of the nineteenth century. At around the same time, and often by the same individuals, Bible translations into Ciyawo also first surfaced. Some of the earliest translations of the four Gospels were known as Utenga Wambone—the “Good News.” This article explores the historical context of Christian mission among the Yawo, before then shifting to a historical overview of linguistic texts that dealt with Ciyawo as a language. Following this, an account of the history of Ciyawo Bible translation is offered, with particular focus on the early translations. This study concludes with a mention of the most recent Ciyawo Bible translations and suggestions for future research. These suggestions include a recommendation to focus on comparisons between the various Ciyawo Bible translations, both those which are older and the more recent publications. Comparing these translations will be valuable for understanding the impact of Bible translation among the Yawo people, and how language has changed. It will also provide an opportunity to determine which translation strategy would be best suited for future Ciyawo Bible translation efforts.
Massive Deception Masquerading as Information and Communication: A (largely) Derridean Perspective
Authors: Olivier Bert
Published: September 2022

We live in a time of major events in civilisational history, currently centred on the so-called Covid-19 “pandemic.” In this global context, contemporary people are at the mercy, largely, of powerful media companies that disseminate officially sanctioned news and opinion pieces about all aspects pertaining to the “pandemic.” The very same thing that makes this mainstream media hegemony possible, however, namely the Internet, also allows alternative news sources to circulate censored news and critical opinion so that one witnesses an information and communication-divide on a scale never seen before in history. This paper sets out to reconstruct this information and communication chasm with reference to representative instances of each of the adversarial sides in what may be called a “war of information” and attempts to make this intelligible by interpreting these mainly through the theoretical lens of Jacques Derrida, supplemented by a coda enlisting Jürgen Habermas’s work on communication. While the latter does foresee the possibility of authentic communication (“communicative action”) despite the constant spectre of miscommunication (“strategic action”), Derrida is less optimistic about this. Instead, taking his cue from Joyce’s Ulysses, he insists that the very means of “reaching” the other in the act of communicating are also, ineluctably, the means for failing to reach them, and that “receiving” a message from someone can thus either result in a mechanical repetition of the message, or a paradoxical “repeating differently.” Moreover, elsewhere he indicates the paradoxical implications of a change of “context” as far as an utterance is concerned. This difference between these two thinkers allows one to get an intellectual grip on the situation unfolding in the world in 2021–2022; a world of ubiquitous information exchanges, implicitly claiming to be communicational exchanges. More specifically, Derrida and Habermas equip one with the communication-theoretical means to ascertain what this plethora of information exchanges amounts to.

Published: September 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the lives of people in many areas of the world. Similarly, international students have also experienced some physical, mental, and social changes during the Covid-19 pandemic. They have not been able to go to their home countries for several reasons, like economic problems, permissions and restrictions, and uncertainty. Therefore, their needs such as physical, financial and psychosocial support should be recognised and met. This study aimed to investigate the lived experiences of international midwifery students in Turkey during the Covid-19 pandemic. Using a phenomenological methodology, 18 in-depth interviews were completed via an online video programme, and a thematic analysis was completed. Eighteen international midwifery students were reached by the snowball technique of the purposive sampling method in a city in the Black Sea region. A content analysis method was applied in order to analyse the data, and the comments were expressed descriptively. Eight themes, and subthemes for each of them, were analysed. The themes are the effects of the pandemic on daily life; health; social life; education; mental health; being infected in Turkey; the changes caused by the pandemic in individuals; and the ways to cope with the pandemic. The study concluded that the students’ daily social lives, physical and mental health, and education had been affected by the pandemic. In spite of all its negative sides, the pandemic had some positive contributions for the students, such as helping them to discover and know themselves and become stronger.

Published: September 2022

Mental and physical health should not be regarded as two separate entities. Recognising the periodic co-morbidity between mental and physical health conditions could facilitate an improvement in the observed lack of screening for metabolic syndrome (MetS) in patients with severe mental illness (SMI). The aim of the current study was to investigate the perceptions of mental health nurses about their knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding mental health care users (MCHUs) with MetS in a public tertiary psychiatric hospital. The study was conducted in one of the four public, tertiary psychiatric hospitals in Western Cape, South Africa. A self-administered quantitative descriptive survey design, using an 18-item modified version of the MBACK-Questionnaire was conducted with an all-inclusive sample of 97 mental health nurses. Ethics approval was obtained from the Western Cape Department of Health and the Research Ethics Committee from the University of Western Cape. A response rate of 87.6% (n = 85) was attained. The specialised mental health nurses reported perceived higher knowledge scores than the non-specialised mental health nurses, with no significant differences between the responses of their level of agreement for their attitudes and self-reported practices on the topic. The specialised mental health nurses perceived themselves to have better knowledge than the non-specialised mental health nurses, with both categories exhibiting similar positive attitudes towards providing general physical care and active involvement in their practice towards mental health care users (MHCUs) with MetS.

Infection prevention and control are fundamental in the delivery of modern healthcare. Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are indicators of flaws in healthcare quality. Active surveillance of infection helps to identify problems and evaluates the effectiveness of infection control activities. The aim of the study was to determine the factors facilitating and inhibiting the nurses in the existing HAI surveillance practices in their respective healthcare settings. A qualitative approach was followed and five focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with 27 nurses. There were four to six participants in each FGD which were conducted to obtain the nurses’ outlook on HAI surveillance in three healthcare facilities in Karnataka, India. The nurses were selected using purposive sampling techniques based on the recommendations of the nurse administrators. The findings of the thematic analysis of the FGDs revealed six major themes. The FGDs focused mainly on identifying the role of clinical nurses in HAI surveillance. They identified that the clinical nurses were not actively involved in HAI surveillance although they could contribute significantly to the overall process of surveillance in their settings. The study concluded that although the FGD participants expressed uncertainty about their role in HAI surveillance, they demonstrated their willingness to be part of the HAI surveillance and suggested channels to implement electronic HAI (e-HAI) surveillance.
Legal Violence: Waiting for Zimbabwe Exemption Permit in South Africa
Authors: Nyakabawu Shingirai
Published: September 2022

In 2010, the South African government regularised undocumented Zimbabwean migrants through a special amnesty programme called Dispensation Zimbabwe Programme (DZP) and the permits issued under its remit were valid from 2010 to December 2014. The DZP was succeeded by the Zimbabwe Special Permit (ZSP), introduced from 2015 to December 2017; this, in turn, was replaced by the Zimbabwe Exemption Permit (ZEP), effective from 2018 to December 2021. This article analyses the experiences of Zimbabwean migrants between application for replacement of ZSP permits and adjudication of ZEP permits. I argue that waiting facilitates legal violence that harms migrants’ livelihoods and their loved ones. This article does not focus on cases of interpersonal aggression, or physical violence, but it concentrates on factors detrimental to the livelihoods of migrants and their loved ones, which prevent them from thriving socio-economically. Data was gathered through interviews with Zimbabwean migrants in Cape Town, South Africa. This article argues that the legality of Zimbabwean migrants was suspended because the migrants were waiting for the directive from the national Department of Home Affairs to announce the status of the expired permits. During this waiting period, migrants were restricted from getting government services and had their personhood erased through deprivation of livelihoods for a prolonged period without certainty about the outcome of their permits. The waiting also illuminates how different governmental frontiers share their power in exercising legal violence against migrants.
Youth in Conflict with the Law: A Criminological Exploration of the Social Factors Perpetuating Misconduct
Authors: Phillips Ashwill Ramon
Published: September 2022

In recent years, there has been an upsurge in the quantity of transgressions perpetrated by adolescents, signifying that a considerable proportion of the youth populace experiences a great degree of marginalisation within their social milieu. Moreover, many youths have succumbed to challenges related to academic failure, socio-economic adversity, family turmoil, substance abuse and deviant peer affiliation. Consequently, this impedes their transition into adulthood and dissuades them from evolving into meaningful social actors. Based on this premise, the current study was conducted to explore the socio-criminogenic risk factors which manifest in the family, community, school and peer group domain, through gauging the lived experiences of youth regarding the factors which they most closely associate with their offending behaviour. Data were obtained using a sample of 20 males incarcerated at the Kimberley Youth Development Centre in the Northern Cape Province of the Republic of South Africa, and analysed using thematic analysis. Several key factors perpetuating youth misconduct were identified, including antisocial peer-affiliation, gang membership, community disorganisation and illicit substance use. It is thus envisaged that these findings will stimulate further research, contribute to the existing body of knowledge and aid in policy development, with the reduction of conflict as the ultimate aim.

It also adopted two instruments on first reading, namely the Draft Conclusions on Peremptory Norms of General International Law and the Draft Principles on the Protection of the Environment in Relation to Armed Conflict. In the seventy-second session, the ILC adopted two first-reading texts, namely the guidelines on the protection of the atmosphere and the Guide to Provisional Application of Treaties. The Commission was also active in the relation to new topics. In the seventy-first session it placed on its current agenda, the topic sea-level rise in relation to international law. On its long-term programme of work, it placed two topics, namely piracy and robbery at sea under international law and reparation to individuals for gross violations of international human rights law and serious violations of international humanitarian law. In the seventy-second session it placed on its agenda the topic subsidiary means for the determination of rules of international law.
The Emergence of a Definition for the Crime of Terrorism under Conventional- and Customary International Law
Authors: Van Diermen Ron
Published: September 2022

The recent terror attacks in Mozambique, which have crippled much of the Cabo Delgado region, once again, illustrates why the crime of terrorism is one of the most serious international crimes that continue to plague States. Historically, the definition of the crime of terrorism has been divisive and uncertain. This article aims to illustrate that the crime of terrorism has become less of an enigma and is, more than ever, susceptible to a common understanding and definition under conventional- and customary international law.
