South Africa is susceptible to droughts. However, little documentation exists on drought occurrence in South Africa at national, provincial and municipal administrative boundaries. This study profiles hydrological drought in OR Tambo District Municipality from 1998 to 2018, computing frequency, severity and intensity in order to show areas of high vulnerability. Data used were obtained from South African Weather Services. Standardised precipitation index (SPI) was calculated using the Meteorological Drought Monitor (MDM) software. Results showed a wide variation in monthly precipitation throughout the year. Coastal areas receive higher rainfall than inland municipalities. The study revealed that Nyandeni experienced the highest drought frequency of 62%, Mhlontlo (58%), King Sabatha Dalindyebo Municipality (57%), Ngquza Hill (55%) and Port St Johns Municipality showing the least at 52%. Hydrological drought severity frequency and duration varied between seven days and nine weeks. Drought intensity class exposed the annual average intensity for the five local municipalities represented as follows: KSDM (–0.71), PSJM (–0.99), Ngquza Hill (–0.81), Nyandeni (–0.71) and Mhlontlo (–0.62). The longest drought duration across OR Tambo was experienced in 2014 with durations varying from 3 to 11 weeks across the municipalities. OR Tambo District Municipality is susceptible to hydrological droughts and the extent varies across local municipalities. Results could be used for both adaptation planning and mitigating the impacts of future droughts. In addition, they could assist in guiding allocation of drought relief resources in ways that prioritise drought prone and vulnerable municipality.

Published: March 2022

Background: Guiera senegalensis (Ghibaish) is a medicinal plant extensively used in central and west Africa for the management of various diseases.Aim: This study aimed to determine the antioxidant activity of the ethanol leaf extract of the plant.Method: The ethanol leaf extract was sequentially sub-fractionated using liquid–liquid extraction, vacuum-liquid chromatography and preparative thin layer chromatography. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography with accurate mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance were employed to isolate and confirm the identity of the most abundant compound. The antioxidant activity of the fractions and isolated compound was assessed by bioautography analysis and the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl hydrate (DPPH) radical scavenging assay.Results: The dichloromethane subfraction contained the most promising antioxidant activity (IC50 = 3.18 µg/mL). Purification of this subfraction led to the isolation of a brown crystalline compound, which was identified as 5-methyldihydroflavasperone (IC50 4000 µg/mL).Conclusion: This is the first report of the isolation of 5-methyldihydroflavasperone from the ethanol leaf extracts of G. senegalensis. This compound was not found to be responsible for the antioxidant activity observed. Further research is warranted to identify the compound responsible for the antioxidant activity.

Authors: Dixit Saubhagya , Rao K. Ramachandra , Tiwari Geetam , Von Wieding Sönke
Published: March 2022

Background: The urban freight transportation (UFT) system is an essential facilitator for the smooth functioning of city logistics. It also contributes significantly to transportation-related issues, such as vehicular congestion, pollution, accidents, infrastructure damage and other related problems.Objectives: This study aimed to understand and compare the urban freight traffic characteristics and their impact in two cities: Gothenburg, Sweden and Delhi, India, having high socio-economic differences. The findings of this study will be helpful for practitioners and policymakers in the development and successful implementation of UFT management policies.Method: Using the cordon count (traffic data), retailers’ interviews (receivers’ data) and freight vehicle drivers’ interviews, UFT characteristics such as sector-specific contribution, trip characteristics, vehicular characteristics and negative impacts in terms of external cost to society are evaluated. This study also discusses the prediction of attracted trips in the study zone using freight trip attraction (models.Results: About 75% of the trips in Gothenburg and 92% of the trips in Delhi are made by light commercial and other small-sized vehicles. Gothenburg has formally organised sectors involved in freight vehicle movement; however, Delhi has informally organised sectors.Conclusion: The results revealed substantial differences in characteristics of freight trip operations in both the cities, compared with few similarities. Measures taken considering the specific local attributes of freight traffic and stakeholders’ requirement may lead to a sustainable transportation system in cities.

Herbivores are a main driver of ecosystem patterns and processes in semi-arid savannas, with their effects clearly observed when they are excluded from landscapes. Starting in the 1960s, various herbivore exclosures have been erected in the Kruger National Park (KNP), for research and management purposes. These exclosures vary from very small (1 m2) to relatively large (almost 900 ha), from short-term (single growing season) to long-term (e.g. some of the exclosures were erected more than 60 years ago), and are located on different geologies and across a rainfall gradient. We provide a summary of the history and specifications of various exclosures. This is followed by a systematic overview of mostly peer-reviewed literature resulting from using KNP exclosures as research sites. These 75 articles cover research on soils, vegetation dynamics, herbivore exclusion on other faunal groups and disease. We provide general patterns and mechanisms in a synthesis section, and end with recommendations to increase research outputs and productivity for future exclosure experiments.Conservation Implications: Herbivore exclosures in the KNP have become global research platforms, that have helped in the training of ecologists, veterinarians and field biologists, and have provided valuable insights into savanna dynamics that would otherwise have been hard to gain. In an age of dwindling conservation funding, we make the case for the value added by exclosures and make recommendations for their continued use as learning tools in complex African savannas.
Factors affecting lecturers’ decision to stay or leave academia, Namibia
Authors: Pieters Wesley R. , Van Zyl Ebben , Nel Petrus
Published: March 2022

Orientation: Attracting and retaining academic staff needs to become a priority for tertiary institutions.Research purpose: Instead of spending funds on replacing staff members, tertiary institutions need to invest in interventions to keep staff committed to and embedded into the organisation.Motivation for the study: Lecturing staff are valuable resources that need to be nurtured, taken care of, and retained to keep tertiary institutions functioning effectively. This study focused on factors that impact lecturing staff’s decision to stay at or leave the University of Namibia.Research approach/design and method: Making use of quantitative research (a questionnaire), data was collected from lecturing staff (n = 242) to investigate the relationship between organisational commitment, job embeddedness and turnover intention.Main findings: Affective commitment, normative commitment, organisational fit and organisational sacrifices reported significant negative relationships with turnover intention. Affective commitment, organisational fit and organisational sacrifice were found to be significant predictors of turnover intention.Practical/managerial implications: Including lecturing staff in the decision-making process, ensuring that there is an equitable exchange for their labour and being fair during interactions enhances psychological meaningfulness and affective commitment. Providing career development opportunities enhances organisational fit, effectiveness of staff and reduces turnover intention. Assessing the job demands-resources relationship remains of cardinal importance.Contributions/value-add: Provision of benefits, employees identifying with the organisation and having the needed resources mitigate the demands of the job, reduce exhaustion, enhance levels of commitment and decrease turnover intention.
Remote landslide mapping, field validation and model development – An example from Kravarsko, Croatia

The Kravarsko settlement area, in northern Croatia, has multiple landslides and damage to buildings and infrastructure caused by landslides. However, actual landslide investigation data for the wider Kravarsko area (pilot area PA1) is relatively sparse and no landslide inventory or typical landslide model exists. The aim of this research was to develop such a landslide inventory by integrating new approaches in geohazard research such as remote landslide mapping from high resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) and current and historical aerial images with existing and new geological data related to landslides. The conclusion is that detailed DEMs are more than adequate for the development of reliable landslide inventories but field checks are still necessary to account for the specific set of natural and man-made conditions found in the research area. The landslide inventory developed for Kravarsko has been field validated in a smaller validation area (VA1) and a typical simplified landslide model for PA1/VA1 was developed. Within the model, sliding is interpreted as complex with multiple generations of sliding and multiple sliding surfaces. Based on the analysis undertaken and the available field data, around 10-20% of urban structures are endangered in the Kravarsko area and anthropogenic activity was determined as an important landslide triggering factor for landslide activation or reactivation. Still the question remains of how to quantify the anthropogenic influence? The developed landslide inventory for PA1/VA1 could be used for local urban planning/development and endangerment assessment/evaluation.

This article analyzes the models of the application of the theory of the inheritance dispute resolution in Bireuen community, Aceh. The inheritance dispute resolution in Aceh is not always done through the litigation system, but can also be done through non-litigation channels. This study is limited to the practice of the application of the alternative dispute resolution theories that took place in Bireuen community, Aceh, and describes the tendency of the Bireuen community to choose to resolve the inheritance disputes through the gampoeng justice system. The field data collection was carried out by observing the practice of dispute resolution in the community, and in-depth interviews with village officials and the disputing parties. The results show that the Bireuen community, Aceh tends to use the theory of negotiation, conciliation and facilitation through the customary justice system, namely the gampoeng court and the mukim court. Both of the gampoeng justice systems prioritize peaceful efforts and ensure privacy between family members. This principle is a consideration for the Bireuen community, Aceh chooses to resolve the inheritance disputes following the customary justice system compared to the official state justice system as a characteristic of the modern justice system implemented by the nation state.

Virginity in fact has a variety of concepts, namely in Indonesia the concept of female virginity is that the blood membrane or hymen is still intact or a virgin concept in the presence of virgin blood. The concept is considered urgent in marriage so that it causes harassment which can disrupt the integrity and harmony of the household. The concept of virginity can be a syiqaq (disputes / disputes) so that stigma arises as reasons for canceling marriages. Regarding the cancellation of vulnerable marriages related to this issue is associated with KHI Article 72 paragraph (2), then about thereasons or reasons for divorce in KHI Article 116 letter f. This research shows that the concept of virginity undergoes a complex and sensitive evolution of law in social, cultural and religious life even in the household. The concept of virginity towards the annulment of marriage in the perspective of Islamic law and feminism presents causation, namely: (hifdz al-din) nurturing religion (by rectifying intentions in marriage and adding faith in oneself and soul to earnest in the purpose of marriage), (hifdz al-nafs ) nurturing oneself (the prohibition of approaching adultery,and the necessity of guarding the genitals and the view and prohibition of insulting the partner with allegations of dzolim), (hifdz al-nas / irdl) maintaining offspring and honor (by guarding and understanding the rules in marriage related to rights and obligations), (hifdz al-mal) preserves property (that the woman is jewelry, is clothing for the husband, vice versa, is the field for the husband, is the property and honor of the husband so that it must be safeguarded by disgrace), and (hifdz al -'aql) maintains the mind (the necessity to study as a means for men or women to open their mindset in understanding the life of the pern ikahan is a matter of sexual relations, needs healthy sexual education in order to avoid stigma or suspicion or anxiety that disrupts domestic life). Thus, it can control people's lives in accordance with the legal concept in order to rectify stigma speculation.

Published: March 2022

The use of air conditioning affects energy consumption. Thermal load is a big factor that affects energy consumption by air conditioners. For this reason, the thermal load of a room needs to be reduced. One strategy to reduce the room's thermal load is the use of phase change materials (PCM). Coconut oil is a PCM that has a freezing temperature in the range of 21.30 – 21.73 oC which will be investigated in this study. The test was carried out with three room models; without PCM, with PCM partition, and PCM partitioned with night air. Each room model carried out 3 variations of air temperature, as well as 4 variations of the heater. The results showed that the use of coconut oil PCM as a room partition can help reduce the room temperature to 2oC below the AC temperature with a decrease in the use of electrical energy reaching 400 Watts.

PHONEMIC TRANSCRIPTION ERROR ANALYSIS OF UNDERGRADUATE ENGLISH LANGUAGE STUDENTS IN SOUTHWESTERN NIGERIA
Authors: Bamigbade Waheed Adeyimika , Raji Zainab Olamide
Published: March 2022

This paper investigates phonemic transcription errors of L2 learners of English, using the undergraduate students of the Department of English Language, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria, as case study and compares performance across levels and phonemes. Twenty (20) randomly selected respondents from each of the four undergraduate levels - a total of eighty (80) participants, were asked to do a phonemic transcription of a researcher-crafted text of two sentences comprising all the 44 English phonemes and one purposively infused triphthong. The Daniel Jones’s (2011) Cambridge Pronouncing Dictionary was used as standard in grading the test. The transcriptions were then closely studied, categorized, and analysed. Findings show that L2 learners and users of English committed errors of Substitution (259, 41%), Addition (87, 13%), Replacement (66, 10%), and Omission of Sounds (33, 05%) out of the 675 transcription errors identified. None (00%) out of the 80 participants was able to transcribe the triphthong sound correctly, amounting to 12% of the total errors; while three specific transcription rules, namely the rule of realizing strong vowel sounds in function words as schwa /ə/ which was abandoned in 150 instances (22% of total errors), mostly in ‘and’ and ‘to’; the rule of not realizing vowels as schwa in content words which they applied indiscriminately; and the rule of double slashes inserted at the beginning and the end of a transcribed sentence which none of them observed. The study also finds 60% of vowel errors and 40% of consonant errors, while out of all 44 phonemes, all respondents got only nine (9) consonant sounds correctly, indicating that respondents face greater difficulty with the English vowel sounds. It is concluded that these errors are due mostly to interference and non-adherence to rules symptomized in incorrect articulation and erroneous transcription. Finally, this study emphasizes the crucial role of error analysis in L2 language learning and development as it provides useful insights into the nature of errors, and points at implications for curriculum improvement, pragmatic methodologies and technology application in language teaching and learning.

Authors: Bermillo Joanne E. , Merto Vic Lycel T.
Published: March 2022

Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) is a comprehension approach developed by Janette Klingner and Sharon Vaughn in 1996 and 1998, which uses a mix of whole class instruction and small cooperative peer learning groups. It begins with teacher modeling, role-playing, and teacher think-aloud and then, followed by the formation of heterogeneous cooperative learning groups in which students employ four comprehension strategies: Preview, Click and Clunk, Get the Gist, and Wrap Up. This study investigated the effects of Collaborative Strategic Reading on students’ comprehension and motivation. Specifically, it sought to determine the reading comprehension level of the students in the CSR and non- CSR group in the pretest and posttest; identify the motivation level of the students in the CSR and non- CSR group in the pretest and posttest; find out if there is a significant difference in the reading comprehension level of the students in the CSR and non-CSR groups, and assess if there is a significant difference in the motivation level of the students in the CSR and non-CSR groups. The study used a quasi-experimental design method. It utilized a random sampling among 70 Grade 9 participants. The reading comprehension levels of students were identified through a teacher-made comprehension test which was interpreted using Phil-IRI Silent Reading Program. Students’ motivation was determined through a reading motivation questionnaire adapted from Wigfield and Guthrie (1997). Results showed that the CSR group outscored the non-CSR group on their reading comprehension. Also, students in both groups were moderately motivated towards reading, however, the CSR group has higher motivation compared to non-CSR group. Moreover, there was a significant difference in the reading comprehension of students exposed to CSR and non-CSR groups. On the other hand, the reading motivation of students exposed to CSR and non-CSR groups was statistically significant. Therefore, CSR was effective in improving the reading comprehension of students as well as enhancing their reading motivation.

AN ECOCULTURAL CONSIDERATION OF SÁMI EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
Authors: Marikaisa Laiti , Määttä Kaarina
Published: March 2022

The Sámi is the only indigenous people in the EU. The Sámi live in the Arctic region in Finland, Norway Sweden, and Russia. Nature and natural lifestyles, respect for the nature and sustainability make an important part of the Sámi culture. Today’s rapid environmental, economic, and political developments pose a threat to the continuity of traditional values. Early childhood education (ECE) has a strong supportive role in the maintenance, transmitting, and strengthening of the Sámi cultures and languages. This research describes the implementation of Sámi ECE by the narratives of Sámi early childhood educators. Special focus is on the pedagogy educators use to strengthen children’s connectedness to nature, respecting nature and living in nature. The theoretical foundation is the eco-cultural theory. The Sámi Parliament has composed a core curriculum and a guide for the daily practices of the Sámi ECE. The research participants (N=23) represent various educational professions. The data comprised personal interviews. The data was analysed with qualitative content analysis. The significance of the nature appeared at many levels of ECE. The research provided grounds for early education which is culturally sustainable as it leans on the cultural tradition and the strong relationship with the nature.
