Analysis of the perceptions of crime against tourists in Florida Road, Durban
Authors:   , Phori Madiseng Messiah
Published: July 2022

The goal of this study was to investigate the perceptions of crime on tourists eating out at Florida Road in Durban. According to Visser and Rogerson (2004 cited in Goerge and Booyens 2014: 450), although South Africa has been classified as a relatively safe tourist destination, high levels of crime threaten the country’s tourism growth prospects. Crime Stats Simplified (2014) indicates that Durban central is one of the top ten worst precincts in South Africa with high crime rate at 10.9% after Mitchells Plain and Cape Town Central with 17% and 12.2% respectively. Therefore the study focused at the Florida Road since Durban has been a destination of choice for many visitors (Durban Experience 2015), with the aim of analysing the perceptions of crime on tourists eating out at Florida Road. Safety and security are regarded as pillars for tourism growth and destination competitiveness. The main objectives of this research were; to investigate the perceptions of crime on tourists in Florida Road; to determine whether the stakeholders such as police and businesses are doing anything to tackle the issues of crime against tourists; to investigate the stakeholders’ observation about behaviour of tourists in general in relation to safety and security in the area; to what extent does crime affects restaurant businesses that are serving tourists in the area; to make recommendations to what further can be done to prevent crimes against tourists in Florida Road and the province at large. The triangulation methodology was used by employing both quantitative and qualitative methods through descriptive research approach by means of self- administered questionnaires with 42 hospitality workers, UIP security guards & taxi drivers and 10 law-enforcement agencies and interviews and focus group discussions with 5 key informants respectively. The data collected was processed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences [SPSS] and NVivo software programmes. The results were analysed using descriptive statistics, inferential statistics and a thematic analysis. There is a perception that the number of tourists has decreased in the last three years due to the crime and the area is currently experiencing high level of theft of motor vehicles and theft out of motor vehicles. There was a perception of safety and poor visitor experience due to vagrants who poses as car guards to commit crimes. There is a perception that visitors do not make return visits once they become victims of crime and some businesses do closes down or relocate, it is also perceived that businesses experience financial losses due to crime in the study area.
Co-branding through soccer in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Authors:   , Ndlovu Mduduzi Victor Mphathi
Published: July 2022

The issues of branding, co-branding and sponsorship are critical aspects of marketing management studies. The fundamental problem surrounding co-branding and sponsorship in soccer is that professional soccer clubs hold a short-term view to relations with sponsors, whereas sponsors themselves hold a long term view to co-branding. The study explores the applications of co- branding through soccer in KwaZulu-Natal, more specifically, whether parties to sponsorship agreements appreciate the magnitude of investment in marketing where co-branding is pursued with an intention of enhancing the image of both the sponsor and the club. A qualitative research approach was used in the study as it is often conventional for studies of this nature. Soccer fans were interviewed through focus group sessions whilst club officials, sponsorship officials, and professional soccer players were personally interviewed. Similarly, NVivo as a qualitative data analysis tool was used. It emerged that players did not appreciate the link between their performance and the image of the sponsor. Again, soccer clubs as well sponsors did not rigorously evaluate the impact of sponsorship and that soccer clubs and sponsors did not internalize the objectives of co-branding in terms of its mutual benefit. This is an important highlight on the findings for professional management of soccer clubs to enhance co-branding related issues. As a critical contribution to understanding negotiating and concluding sponsorship agreements, a framework has been proposed that will guide executive managers of both soccer clubs and sponsorship organizations in managing sponsorship programmes.
Customer perceptions of service delivery : a case study at Transnet Port Terminal, Pier2
Authors:   , Cele Ntomb'zenhlanzeko
Published: July 2022

In 1877 the Durban Container Terminal (DCT) was developed as a container-only terminal. In recent years, investment in the terminal infrastructure at the DCT has increased and now the terminal accounts for 65% of all South Africa’s container imports and exports and is the busiest terminal in Africa. The DCT has easy access to the main road corridor between Durban and Johannesburg, which is South Africa’s greatest economic contributor. As demand increases, productivity and efficiency become more important, yet the terminal faces its ever unprecedented challenge which is space. A dedicated facility for the staging of container road trucks has been constructed. This facility is designed to eliminate road truck congestion at the entrance roadway to the terminal. The staging area contributes to the quality and speed of productivity in the terminal. At the core of the terminal’s success is its productivity. One of the productivity measures that are closely monitored is Truck Turnaround Time (TTT). The aim of this study was to analyse customers’ perceptions of service quality delivered at the Durban Container Terminal. The SERVQUAL instrument which is based on fived dimensions, namely reliability, tangibles, responsiveness, empathy and assurance was used to assess customer perception and expectation of service quality. A gap analysis was used to evaluate gaps in terms of service quality delivered at the terminal. A mixed methodological approach was adopted; thus a quantitative and qualitative study was undertaken. The 111 respondents used in the quantitative study were selected using purposive sampling. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse data by means of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Furthermore, 10 managers from the client base were selected to be interviewed using purposive sampling for the qualitative study. Qualitative data were analysed using content analysis. The data were transcribed and emerging themes identified and presented. The findings of this study using SERVQUAL illustrate that customer expectations were higher than perception across the entire five service quality dimensions. The results imply that customers were not happy with the level of service being delivered at the terminal on each of the dimensions. With respect to the qualitative study, the findings show that customers are concerned with the efficiency at the terminal and are not satisfied with the truck turnaround times. Furthermore, the results show that customers are facing challenges in terms of congestion which is compounding problems regarding the waiting time before transporters can access the service. Based on the findings of this study, recommendations have been proposed to close the gaps and ultimately improve service quality so that the terminal is able to achieve customer satisfaction and by implication, improved productivity.
The Effect of Work Community on Job Transfer Intention: The Mediation Effect of Regulatory Failure and Job Burnout
Authors: Kittichokwattana Patipat , Bin Harun Azhar , Mohd Zain Zawiyah
Published: July 2022

This study examined the effect of work community fit on job transfer intention and the indirect effect through regulatory failure and job burnout. A total of 351 teachers from public primary schools in the three southern provinces of Thailand were randomly selected. The self-report questionnaire was a data collection instrument. The partial least square structural equation modelling was used to analyse the data. The results revealed the complementary mediation effect. Community directly affects job transfer intention and indirectly through regulatory failure and job burnout in a serial manner. Promotion failure causes a lower risk of job burnout because of the failure of the maximal goal which represents the hopes and inspiration that one wants to achieve, whereas prevention failure concerns the minimal goal which represents responsibilities and obligations that must be met resulting in a higher risk of emotional exhaustion. In addition, promotion failure involves the absence of positive outcomes that increases the likelihood of disengagement and seek for an alternative that fulfills hopes and aspirations, whereas prevention failure relates to the presence of negative outcomes which motivate one to strengthen responsibilities and obligations to avoid the further loss resulting in low disengagement. The finding provides a better understanding of the underlying psychological mechanism between the regulatory focus and work well-being.

This research take on focus the Speaking ability on producing sentences with schedule text as the basic material on first semester students on hospitality program. Research showed that effort to improve students’ speaking skill which is based on productivity can be used schedule text as the trigger. The steps can be divided into 3 such as introducing relevant vocabulary where vocabulary showed in matching column in similar number, inserting small text which support the topic and the core activity is producing sentences. The sentences produced are classified into 3 groups according to how tight the dependency to the text provided. The research found out that (a) all students produce minimal 5 sentences and even far more. No students left in achieve this type of sentences. The sentences are produces by linked information on a certain line. (b) A number of students faced it difficult to produce sentences type 2 since it needs more focus in comparing data from the schedule text. Only 85% student got it easy while the others need more time to produce one. The sentences here produced by doing comparison or linking between lines information. (c) For group 3 where sentences need knowledge background to support it is achieved by 55% students. Here, sentences produced by implementing intratext which means another text must be there so the sentences become larger or deeper than the data on schedule text itself. It seemed that not each student has enough knowledge about airlines or small text which is provided before the core activity is neglected. Lack of knowledge or effort made it difficult for some students, but still very essay for others. They can produce many sentences in this group in a minute. From the results, it is suggested for students to do reading activity on interesting topic or article supporting the learning process.

Acceleration of the southern African easterly jet driven by the radiative effect of biomass burning aerosols and its impact on transport during AEROCLO-sA
Authors: Chaboureau Jean-Pierre , Labbouz Laurent , Flamant Cyrille , Hodzic Alma
Published: July 2022

Abstract. The direct and semi-direct radiative effects of biomass burning aerosols (BBAs) are investigated over southern Africa and the southeastern Atlantic during the Aerosols, Radiation and Clouds in southern Africa (AEROCLO-sA) field campaign in September 2017. A reference convection-permitting simulation has been performed using the Meso-NH model with an online dust emission scheme, a strongly absorbing BBA tracer emitted using the daily Global Fire Emissions Database and online-computed backward Lagrangian trajectories. The simulation captures both the aerosol optical depth and the vertical distribution of aerosols as observed from airborne and spaceborne lidars. The occurrence of stratocumulus over the southeastern Atlantic, deep convective clouds over equatorial Africa and the large-scale circulation are all reproduced by the model. If the radiative effects of BBA are omitted in the model, we show that (i) the smoke plume is too low in altitude, (ii) the low-cloud cover is too weak, (iii) the deep convective activity is too frequent but not intense enough, (iv) the Benguela low-level jet is too strong, and (v) the southern African easterly jet is too weak. The Lagrangian analysis indicates that the radiative effect of BBA leads to the transport of BBA to higher altitudes, farther southwest and with a stronger diurnal oscillation. The higher smoke plume altitude can be explained by a combination of three factors: increased upward motion induced by the stronger southern African easterly jet, self-lofting of BBA and reduced subsidence associated with less frequent deep convective activity over western equatorial Africa.
Development of longitudinal dunes under Pangaean atmospheric circulation
Authors: Shozaki Hiroki , Hasegawa Hitoshi
Published: July 2022

Abstract. As a result of the large difference in heat capacity
between land and ocean, global climate and atmospheric circulation patterns
over the supercontinent of Pangaea were significantly different from those of
today. Modelling experiments indicate a seasonal alternation in
cross-equatorial flow induced by the seasonal reversal in the direction of
the monsoonal circulation; however, there are large discrepancies between
model-generated surface wind patterns and the reported palaeowind
directions from aeolian dune records. Here, we present the spatial
distribution of dune slip-face azimuths recorded in the Lower Jurassic
aeolian sandstones over a wide area of the western United States
(palaeolatitude: ∼19–27∘ N). The
azimuth data for dune slip faces reveal a bidirectional and oblique angular
pattern that resembles the internal structures of modern longitudinal dunes.
Based on the spatial pattern of slip-face directions and outcrop evidence,
we suggest that most Lower Jurassic aeolian sandstones were NNE–SSW- to
NNW–SSE-oriented longitudinal dunes, which likely formed as the result of
a combination of westerly, northwesterly, and northeasterly palaeowinds.
The reconstructed palaeowind pattern at ∼19–27∘ N appears to be consistent with the model-generated surface
wind pattern and its seasonal alternation. The reconstructed palaeowind
patterns also suggest an influence of orbitally induced changes in
atmospheric pressure patterns over Pangaea.
A compiled soil respiration dataset at different time scales for forest ecosystems across China from 2000 to 2018
Authors: Sun Hongru , Xu Zhenzhu , Jia Bingrui
Published: July 2022

Abstract. China's forests rank fifth in the world by area, covering a broad
climatic gradient from cold-temperate to tropical zones, and play a key role
in the global carbon cycle. Studies of forest soil respiration (Rs) have
increased rapidly in China over the last two decades, but the resulting
Rs data need to be summarized. Here, we compile a comprehensive dataset of
Rs in China's undisturbed forest ecosystems from the literature published up to
31 December 2018, including monthly Rs and the concurrently measured soil
temperature (N=8317), mean monthly Rs (N=5003), and annual Rs (N=634).
Detailed plot information was also recorded, such as geographical location,
climate factors, stand characteristics, and measurement description. We
examine some aspects of the dataset – Rs equations fitted with soil
temperature, temperature sensitivity (Q10), monthly variations, and
annual effluxes in cold-temperate, temperate, subtropical, and tropical
zones. We hope the dataset will be used by the science community to provide
a better understanding of the carbon cycle in China's forest ecosystems and
reduce uncertainty in evaluating of carbon budget at a large scale. The
dataset is publicly available at

Published: July 2022

Abstract. This paper presents an updated estimation of the bottom-up global surface
seawater dimethyl sulfide (DMS) climatology. This update, called DMS-Rev3,
is the third of its kind and includes five significant changes from the last
climatology, L11 (Lana
et al., 2011), that was released about a decade ago. The first change is the
inclusion of new observations that have become available over the last
decade, creating a database of 873 539 observations leading to an
∼ 18-fold increase in raw data as compared to the last
estimation. The second is significant improvements in data handling,
processing, and filtering, to avoid biases due to different observation
frequencies which result from different measurement techniques. Thirdly, we
incorporate the dynamic seasonal changes observed in the geographic
boundaries of the ocean biogeochemical provinces. The fourth change involves
the refinement of the interpolation algorithm used to fill in the missing
data. Lastly, an upgraded smoothing algorithm based on observed DMS
variability length scales (VLS) helps to reproduce a more realistic
distribution of the DMS concentration data. The results show that DMS-Rev3
estimates the global annual mean DMS concentration to be ∼ 2.26 nM (2.39 nM without a sea-ice mask), i.e., about 4 % lower than the
previous bottom-up L11 climatology. However, significant regional
differences of more than 100 % as compared to L11 are observed. The global
sea-to-air flux of DMS is estimated at ∼ 27.1 TgS yr−1,
which is about 4 % lower than L11, although, like the DMS distribution,
large regional differences were observed. The largest changes are observed
in high concentration regions such as the polar oceans, although oceanic
regions that were under-sampled in the past also show large differences
between revisions of the climatology. Finally, DMS-Rev3 reduces the
previously observed patchiness in high productivity regions. The new climatology, along
with the algorithm, can be found in the online repository:

Diel streamflow cycles suggest more sensitive snowmelt-driven streamflow to climate change than land surface modeling does
Authors: Krogh Sebastian A. , Scaff Lucia , Kirchner James W. , Gordon Beatrice , Sterle Gary , Harpold Adrian
Published: July 2022

Abstract. Climate warming will cause mountain snowpacks to melt earlier, reducing summer streamflow and threatening water supplies and ecosystems. Quantifying how sensitive streamflow timing is to climate change and where it is most sensitive remain key questions. Physically based hydrological models are often used for this purpose; however, they have embedded assumptions that translate into uncertain hydrological projections that need to be quantified and constrained to provide reliable inferences. The purpose of this study is to evaluate differences in projected end-of-century changes to streamflow timing between a new empirical model based on diel (daily) streamflow cycles and regional land surface simulations across the mountainous western USA. We develop an observational technique for detecting streamflow responses to snowmelt using diel cycles of incoming solar radiation and streamflow to detect when snowmelt occurs. We measure the date of the 20th percentile of snowmelt days (DOS20) across 31 western USA watersheds affected by snow, as a proxy for the beginning of snowmelt-initiated streamflow. Historic DOS20 varies from mid-January to late May among our sites, with warmer basins having earlier snowmelt-mediated streamflow. Mean annual DOS20 strongly correlates with the dates of 25 % and 50 % annual streamflow volume (DOQ25 and DOQ50, both R2=0.85), suggesting that a 1 d earlier DOS20 corresponds with a 1 d earlier DOQ25 and 0.7 d earlier DOQ50. Empirical projections of future DOS20 based on a stepwise multiple linear regression across sites and years under the RCP8.5 scenario for the late 21st century show that DOS20 will occur on average 11±4 d earlier per 1 ∘C of warming. However, DOS20 in colder watersheds (mean November–February air temperature, TNDJF<-8 ∘C) is on average 70 % more sensitive to climate change than in warmer watersheds (TNDJF>0 ∘C). Moreover, empirical projections of DOQ25 and DOQ50 based on DOS20 are about four and two times more sensitive to climate change, respectively, than those simulated by a state-of-the-art land surface model (NoahMP-WRF) under the same scenario. Given the importance of changes in streamflow timing for water resources, and the significant discrepancies found in projected streamflow sensitivity, snowmelt detection methods such as DOS20 based on diel streamflow cycles may help to constrain model parameters, improve hydrological predictions, and inform process understanding.

Abstract. The presence of two large-scale cyclonic gyres in the Algerian Basin influences the general and eddy circulation, but their effects on water mass
transfer remain poorly characterized. Our study has confirmed the presence of these gyres using the first direct current measurements of the whole
water column collected during the SOMBA-GE2014 cruise, specifically designed to investigate these gyres. Using cruise sections and a climatology
from 60 years of in situ measurements, we have also shown the effect of these gyres on the distribution at intermediate depth of Levantine
Intermediate Water (LIW) with warmer (∼ 0.15 ∘C) and saltier (∼ 0.02) characteristics in the Algerian Basin than in the
Provençal Basin. The Algerian Gyres, combined with the effect of anticyclonic Algerian Eddies, also impact horizontal density gradients with sinking
of the isopycnals at the gyres' centers. Temporal cross-correlation of LIW potential temperature referenced to a signal observed southwest of
Sardinia reveals a timescale of transit of 4 months to get to the center of the Algerian Basin. The LIW potential temperature and salinity trends, on average in the basin interior, are estimated to be
+0.0022 ± 0.0002 ∘Cyr-1 and +0.0022 ± 0.0001 yr−1, respectively, over the 1968–2017 period and
accelerating to +0.048 ± 0.003 ∘Cyr-1 and +0.0076 ± 0.0009 yr−1 over the 2013–2017 period.

A Educação como Um Direito Social: reserva do possível X o mínimo existencial
Authors: Bentes Handerson da Costa , Souza Maria de Fátima Matos de
Published: July 2022

A Constituição de 1988 consagrou a educação como um direito social, portanto, cabe ao Estado Brasileiro o dever proporcionar o acesso e a permanência de todos os alunos. Apesar da norma constitucional, continuam atuais as indagações sobre a eficiência, eficácia e aplicabilidade dos direitos sociais, em especial a educação, onde tem sido aplicado a mitigação baseada no principio/teoria do mínimo existencial. Assim, o objetivo geral deste artigo consiste em confrontar o tratamento alinhado pelo Estado à educação na perspectiva da judicialização. Para tanto, recorre-se a uma pesquisa documental do texto constitucional e da decisão do Supremo Tribunal Federal nos autos da Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade por Omissão nº 1.698/2010, e também da e revisão bibliográfica de Maquiavel, Burke, Hegel e Montesquieu, J.J. Canotilho, José Afonso da Silva, Clarice Seixas Duarte. Entre os resultados e discussões apresentadas, ratifica-se que a educação, enquanto direito social não pode ser limitado aos entraves da reserva do possível pelo Estado.
