description: Background: Business intelligence tools play an important role for businesses across all industries for their data and information management solutions. By harnessing the capabilities of business intelligence, companies are able to predict and better meet customer needs. This study investigates factors that inhibit managers’ use of business intelligence tools in a public organisation in South Africa, where there has been evidence of a very low uptake of business intelligence tools. Objective: The objective of this study was to establish factors that inhibit the use of business intelligence and data analytics tools by managers in public organisations. Organisations are likely to lose their competitive advantage and experience a negative impact on efficiency and service delivery if managers do not make use of analytics in strategic decision-making. Methods: The study utilised both qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative data were collected from managers through interviews, whilst questionnaires and daily login recordings were used to collect quantitative data. Quantitative data were analysed using statistical methods, whilst qualitative data were analysed by thematic analysis. Results: The research revealed a wide range of factors that inhibit the use of business intelligence tools by managers. These factors range from personal, system quality, organisational, macro-environmental, behavioural beliefs and attitudes, effort perceptions and social influence to facilitating conditions. Conclusion: The article provides a comprehensive contextual situation regarding poor use of business intelligence and analytics tools in a large metropolitan public entity. The findings from the organisation under study would be deemed to apply to similar organisations throughout the country.
title: Israeli foreign policy towards Iran 1948-1979: beyond the realist account

description: Israeli foreign policy towards Iran in the period 1948-1979 has been generally explained through the Realist perspective, claiming that Israeli relations with Iran were established and developed due to converging strategic interests and common threats. This thesis argues that the existing literature does not fully appreciate the role that individuals, especially with their perceptions and misperceptions and human agency played in the formation and implementation of Israeli foreign policy. By not fully appreciating the role of human agency, the existing literature on Israeli relations with Iran has not fully explored the methods that made Israel’s foreign policy with Iran a success. For instance, the existing accounts do not examine how the actions of specific Israeli diplomats in Tehran such as Ambassador Meir Ezri prevented attempts from groups in Iran such as
 the Iranian Foreign Ministry and certain religious clerics to stop Israeli-Iranian relations. For three decades, the relationship between Israel and Iran, though discreet and often kept secret, flourished within the context of the Cold War and the rise of Pan Arabism. Many covert joint operations yielded widespread collaboration in the areas of trade, civilian technology, oil, agriculture, and extensive military intelligence collaboration on areas such as Yemen, Iraq and the Kurds. That changed with a shift in Israeli personnel in 1973, and ended completely after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. If Israeli-Iranian relations did solely stem from converging strategic interests, relations would have been more likely to survive the 1979 Revolution. Rather, the Israelis’ change in personnel in Tehran, their relationships with the Iranians, and their perceptions of world events greatly influenced the 1973 and 1979 shifts. This thesis concludes that any analysis of Israeli foreign policy formation and implementation towards Iran must include the multidimensional role of decision-makers, diplomats, and other foreign policy actors in order to complete the analysis presented by the existing Realist-leaning accounts. The thesis bases its argument on extensive International Relations-based examination of Israeli diplomatic history. Analysis of the role of prime ministers and diplomats such as David Ben Gurion, Tzvi Doriel and Meir Ezri; including their perceptions and misperceptions and human agency—forges a new understanding of Israeli foreign policy towards Iran from 1948 to 1979. Through the use of personal interviews, memoirs in Hebrew, English and Farsi, recently de-classified documents from the Israel State Archives, and unseen documents from private family collections, this thesis presents an argument that addresses the gaps in the existing literature.

            Funktional sollen Schlagzeilen sowohl in inhaltlicher Nähe zum Artikel stehen wie
            auch dazu animieren, diesen zu lesen. Nach dieser Annahme müssten Schlagzeilen die

            Semantisch, stilistisch und syntaktisch wurden Schlagzeilenformulierungen bislang
            vornehmlich im Printbereich untersucht. Mit der verstärkten Nutzung von Online-
            Plattformen wie Facebook oder Twitter als Nachrichtenkanal stellt sich die Frage
            nach Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschieden der Schlagzeilengefüge in den unterschiedlichen
            Medien. Dazu werden 240 Schlagzeilenformulierungen von vier ausgewählten
            Tageszeitungen und deren Äquivalent auf den Twitterkanälen der Medien unter syntaktischen, stilistischen und semantischen Gesichtspunkten untersucht. Die textlinguistische Untersuchung wird durch eine Inhaltsanalyse ergänzt, bei der die semantische
            Relation von Schlagzeile und Artikel ausgewertet wird. So kann aufgezeigt werden,
            dass Schlagzeilen bei Twitter die Leserin bzw. den Leser in komprimierter Form
            über den Inhalt des Artikels (Ko-Texts) informieren, während in Printzeitungen vor allem ein Leseanreiz zur Rezeption des Ko-Texts geschaffen wird. Diese unterschiedlichen
            Funktionen ermöglichen ein divergierendes Leseverhalten: Twitter-Schlagzeilen
            können stellvertretend für den Ko-Text gelesen werden, während Printschlagzeilen
            häufig Verstehenslücken bei der Leserin bzw. dem Leser hervorrufen, die erst durch
            die Rezeption des Ko-Texts geschlossen werden können.

description: Traditionally, governments have been viewed as complex, large bureaucratic establishments with a set of information silos that erect barriers to the access of information and make the provision of services cumbersome and frustrating. However with the emergence of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), there is evidence of improvement in efficiency and effectiveness of internal administration within governments and the relocation of government services from government offices to locations closer to the citizens. This paper is motivated by the need to investigate an e-government phenomenon in a developing country context which is characterised by complex dynamics rooted in politics, economy and social setting. The paper has been scoped to explore the evolution of e- government in Zimbabwe as articulated in ICT policy documents. The policy documents are analysed through the lens of thematic analysis which leads to critical narrative analysis. The use of thematic analysis as a theoretical foundation and a methodological approach for analysing text contributes to a better understanding of government publications. This study has identified that all documents are silent on the political and economic reality in Zimbabwe which directly influences the implementation of capital projects. The policy documents also make no reference to other considerations as funding models and execution plans under a complex political, social and economic environment. As a result, government policy documents remained only as blueprints without any impact towards the implementation of e- government in Zimbabwe.

Material examined
Brazil: Fernando de Noronha — HMS “Challenger”, 1885, st. 113A, 13–45 m (BMNH 1888: 33, holotype). São Paulo — N.Oc. “Prof. W. Besnard”, st. 6673, 133 m, 5 ex. (MZUSP 13227).
Recognition characters
Carapace strongly convex, anterior margin oblique. Outer orbital spine followed by 6 lateral spines. Gastric area with transverse row of 6 spines. One parahepatic spine on each side of carapace. Branchial areas armed with 1 or 2 spines on each side. Remainder of carapace unarmed. Rostrum long, with distinct spines or spinules on margin. Abdominal tergite 2 armed with 1 pair of spines on anterior margin. Remaining abdominal tergites unarmed. Peduncle of antennule with inner terminal spine longer than outer one; outer lateral margin with 2 spines. Peduncle of antenna with first (basis) segment armed with 1 inner terminal spine and second segment armed with 1 outer terminal spine. Third maxilliped with 4 spines on ventral (flexor) margin of merus. Chelae with palm of same length or slightly shorter than fingers.
Distribution
Western Atlantic: Florida (east coast, north of Cape Canaveral) and Brazil (Amapá, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Fernando de Noronha, Rocas Atoll, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo): 13–150 meters depth.
Remarks
Munida spinifrons is similar to M. angulata Benedict and M. petronioi Melo­Filho & Melo. An interesting fact is that in specimens occurring at the southern and northern ends of the species distribution (Florida and the southeast coast of Brazil), the rostrum is little or very little spinulated, and most individuals feature 2 (two) spines on the anterior branchial area. These can be easily confused with M. pusilla. Specimens occurring near the center of the distribution area, off the Brazilian northeast coast, have well­developed rostral spinulation and, usually, 1 spine in the anterior branchial area (Melo­Filho & Melo 1994, 2001b; Melo­Filho & Coelho­Filho 2004).

description: In this study, a biofilm model was developed for sulfur-based denitrification in a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR), including mass transport as well as the conversion kinetics of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB). The experimental reactor simulated received a synthetic wastewater containing nitrate, sulfide and thiosulfate. The substrate affinity of SOB for intermediary elemental sulfur (S0) was found the most sensitive parameter. After estimating this single parameter, the model could adequately describe the steady state performance of the experimental MBBR. The experimental and simulated mass balances indicated that a fraction of influent sulfur accumulated into intermediate S0. Furthermore, the simulations showed that SOB were active over the entire thickness of a 200 µm biofilm. The simulation results allowed to quantify the extent of diffusion and substrate limitation. Scenario analyses indicated that the specific nitrogen loading rate could be increased from 0.05 to 0.20 kg N.kg−1 VSS.day−1 (corresponding to 0.22–0.86 kg N.m−2.day−1 expressed per biofilm surface area) while maintaining nitrogen removal efficiencies above 70%. An increasing specific nitrogen loading rate in this range resulted in an almost linearly increasing specific nitrogen removal rate, independent from whether it was realized through a decreasing HRT, carrier filling ratio or biofilm thickness.

description: The interactions within microbial, chemical and electronic elements in microbial fuel cell (MFC) system can be crucial for its bio-electrochemical activities and overall performance. Therefore, this study explored polynomial models by response surface methodology (RSM) to better understand interactions among anode pH, cathode pH and inoculum size for optimising MFC system for generation of electricity and degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol. A statistical central composite design by RSM was used to develop the quadratic model designs. The optimised parameters were determined and evaluated by statistical results and the best MFC systematic outcomes in terms of current generation and chlorophenol degradation. Statistical results revealed that the optimum current density of 106 mA/m2 could be achieved at anode pH 7.5, cathode pH 6.3–6.6 and 21–28% for inoculum size. Anode–cathode pHs interaction was found to positively influence the current generation through extracellular electron transfer mechanism. The phenolic degradation was found to have lower response using these three parameter interactions. Only inoculum size-cathode pH interaction appeared to be significant where the optimum predicted phenolic degradation could be attained at pH 7.6 for cathode pH and 29.6% for inoculum size.

description: Oil spills in aquatic ecosystems cause irreparable damage to marine life and the coastal populations of affected areas. In recent years, chemical dispersants have been extensively used to remedy these impacted ecosystems, although these agents have been increasingly restricted due to their toxic potential. In this context, biosurfactants are emerging as a promising alternative to chemical dispersants, which have some advantages including low toxicity, high biodegradability and good ecological acceptability. Thus, this study aimed to the production of biosurfactant by the bacteria Serratia marcescens UCP 1549 for application as biodispersant. The experiment was carried out using wheat bran as substrate in solid-state fermentation (SSF) as low-cost technology. Biosurfactant production was verified by the reduction of surface tension (28.4 mN/m) and interfacial tension (4.1 mN/m) with n-hexadecane. Also, promising result of emulsification (94%) with burned motor oil was obtained. Acid precipitation yielded 52.0 g/kg dry substrate of biosurfactant, that was identified as an anionic compound of a lipopeptide nature by the Zeta potential and FTIR spectrum, respectively. The biomolecule showed stability under extreme conditions of temperature, pH and salinity, as well as low toxicity against the microcrustacean Artemia salina. In addition, the biosurfactant demonstrated excellent properties to dispersing burned motor oil in water (ODA = 50.24 cm2) and to washing of marine stones (100% removal of burned motor oil). Therefore, these results confirm SSF as a sustainable technology for the production of biodispersant by S. marcescens UCP 1549, promising in the bioremediation of marine ecosystems impacted by petroderivatives.

description: Literature has shown that countries such as Brazil and India have successfully implemented electronic voting systems and other countries are at various piloting stages to address many challenges associated with manual paper based system such ascosts of physical ballot paper and other overheads, electoral delays, distribution of electoral materials, and general lack of confidence in the electoral process. It is in this context that this study explores how South African can leverage the opportunities that e-voting presents. Manual voting is often tedious, non-secure, and time-consuming, which leads us to think about using electronic facilities to make the process more efficient. This study proposes that the adoption of electronic voting technologies could perhaps mitigate some of these issues and challengesin the process improving the electoral process. The study used an on-line questionnaire which was administered to a broader group of voters and an in-depth semi-structured interview with the Independent Electoral Commission officials. The analysis is based on thematic analysis and diffusion of innovations theory is adopted as a theoretical lens of analysis. The findings reveal that relative advantage, compatibility and complexity would determine the intentions of South African voters and the Electoral Management Bodies (IEC) to adopt e-voting technologies. Moreover, the findings also reveal several other factorsthat could influence the adoption process. The study is limited to only voters in Cape Town and these voters were expected to have some access to the internet. The sample size limits the generalizability of the findings of this study.

description: In this study, a stochastic model was applied to investigate the degradation of landfill leachate by solar photo-Fenton processes. The coefficient of determination (R2) between experimental and predicted data ranged from 0.9958–0.9995. The optimal conditions for the initial phase (lasting 5–22 min) were high Fe2+ level, low pH level, and intermediate H2O2 level. For the second phase, optimal leachate degradation percentages were obtained by maintaining the pH, increasing H2O2, and decreasing Fe2+ to the lowest level. Determination of optimal reaction conditions (such as pH, Fe2+, and H2O2 values) for both degradation phases is of paramount importance for process scale-up. The major contribution of this study was the development of a tool that considers the effects of one or more reactions on organic carbon degradation. This was achieved by assessing the significance of the effects of experimental conditions on model parameters for the fast and slow steps of leachate degradation by advanced oxidation processes.

description: Genus Liara Redtenbacher, 1891
Liara Redtenbacher, 1891: 444. Type species: Liara rufescens Redtenbacher
Diagnosis. Medium sized Conocephalinae with rather large and broad head. The pronotum is tunnel-shaped in cross-section, with the disc rounded into paranota, the apical area is subflat and shouldered and often slightly raised in male. The prosternum is unarmed, the mesosternal lobes are long-conical, the metasternal lobes short-conical or acute-angular, and the medial plate with a short spine or obtuse tubercle at both apical angles. Wing condition is often brachypterous, few species are fully winged. The femora, especially the mid femur, are slightly compressed. The male cerci are curved mediad and divided in apical area into a broad, often circa spoon-shaped, dorsal lobe and a narrow, band-shaped ventral lobe; sometimes with one or both lobes more strongly modified. The titillators of the male phallus are rather uniform between species; they are separate or rarely subfused near base, the apical parts subparallel except at very apex, with a lateral membranous sacculus or at least a lateral widening. The female ovipositor is compressed blade-shaped with the dorsal margin widened behind base, smooth margins, and the apex obliquely truncate. Coloration of the alive insect is often yellowish brown with black marks. The genus is very close to Unalianus Koçak & Kemal, 2009 (replacement name for Oxystethus Redtenbacher, 1891 due to homonymy) from which it only differs by the shape of the titillators.

description: In this study, a biofilm model was developed for sulfur-based denitrification in a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR), including mass transport as well as the conversion kinetics of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB). The experimental reactor simulated received a synthetic wastewater containing nitrate, sulfide and thiosulfate. The substrate affinity of SOB for intermediary elemental sulfur (S0) was found the most sensitive parameter. After estimating this single parameter, the model could adequately describe the steady state performance of the experimental MBBR. The experimental and simulated mass balances indicated that a fraction of influent sulfur accumulated into intermediate S0. Furthermore, the simulations showed that SOB were active over the entire thickness of a 200 µm biofilm. The simulation results allowed to quantify the extent of diffusion and substrate limitation. Scenario analyses indicated that the specific nitrogen loading rate could be increased from 0.05 kg N.kg-1 VSS.day-1 to 0.20 kg N.kg-1 VSS.day-1 (corresponding to 0.22 – 0.86 kg N.m-2.day-1 expressed per biofilm surface area) while maintaining nitrogen removal efficiencies above 70%. An increasing specific nitrogen loading rate in this range resulted in an almost linearly increasing specific nitrogen removal rate, independent from whether it was realized through a decreasing HRT, carrier filling ratio or biofilm thickness.

Untitled E-government for development: a thematic analysis of Zimbabwe’s information and communication technology policy documents

description: Traditionally, governments have been viewed as complex, large bureaucratic establishments with a set of information silos that erect barriers to the access of information and make the provision of services cumbersome and frustrating. However with the emergence of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), there is evidence of improvement in efficiency and effectiveness of internal administration within governments and the relocation of government services from government offices to locations closer to the citizens. This paper is motivated by the need to investigate an e-government phenomenon in a developing country context which is characterised by complex dynamics rooted in politics, economy and social setting. The paper has been scoped to explore the evolution of e- government in Zimbabwe as articulated in ICT policy documents. The policy documents are analysed through the lens of thematic analysis which leads to critical narrative analysis. The use of thematic analysis as a theoretical foundation and a methodological approach for analysing text contributes to a better understanding of government publications. This study has identified that all documents are silent on the political and economic reality in Zimbabwe which directly influences the implementation of capital projects. The policy documents also make no reference to other considerations as funding models and execution plans under a complex political, social and economic environment. As a result, government policy documents remained only as blueprints without any impact towards the implementation of e- government in Zimbabwe.

description: In this study, a stochastic model was applied to investigate the degradation of landfill leachate by solar photo-Fenton processes. The coefficient of determination (R2) between experimental and predicted data ranged from 0.9958–0.9995. The optimal conditions for the initial phase (lasting 5–22 min) were high Fe2+ level, low pH level, and intermediate H2O2 level. For the second phase, optimal leachate degradation percentages were obtained by maintaining the pH, increasing H2O2, and decreasing Fe2+ to the lowest level. Determination of optimal reaction conditions (such as pH, Fe2+, and H2O2 values) for both degradation phases is of paramount importance for process scale-up. The major contribution of this study was the development of a tool that considers the effects of one or more reactions on organic carbon degradation. This was achieved by assessing the significance of the effects of experimental conditions on model parameters for the fast and slow steps of leachate degradation by advanced oxidation processes.

description: Oil spills in aquatic ecosystems cause irreparable damage to marine life and the coastal populations of affected areas. In recent years, chemical dispersants have been extensively used to remedy these impacted ecosystems, although these agents have been increasingly restricted due to their toxic potential. In this context, biosurfactants are emerging as a promising alternative to chemical dispersants, which have some advantages including low toxicity, high biodegradability and good ecological acceptability. Thus, this study aimed to the production of biosurfactant by the bacteria Serratia marcescens UCP 1549 for application as biodispersant. The experiment was carried out using wheat bran as substrate in solid-state fermentation (SSF) as low-cost technology. Biosurfactant production was verified by the reduction of surface tension (28.4 mN/m) and interfacial tension (4.1 mN/m) with n-hexadecane. Also, promising result of emulsification (94%) with burned motor oil was obtained. Acid precipitation yielded 52.0 g/kg dry substrate of biosurfactant, that was identified as an anionic compound of a lipopeptide nature by the Zeta potential and FTIR spectrum, respectively. The biomolecule showed stability under extreme conditions of temperature, pH and salinity, as well as low toxicity against the microcrustacean Artemia salina. In addition, the biosurfactant demonstrated excellent properties to dispersing burned motor oil in water (ODA = 50.24 cm2) and to washing of marine stones (100% removal of burned motor oil). Therefore, these results confirm SSF as a sustainable technology for the production of biodispersant by S. marcescens UCP 1549, promising in the bioremediation of marine ecosystems impacted by petroderivatives.

description: An encounter with the words monopigments or polymeric pigments leads one to wonder what they mean exactly. Tannins are divided into two basic groups, namely the flavonoids and the non-flavonoids. The non-flavonoids consist of gallic acid, ellagic acid, hydroxycinnamic acid and hydroxybenzoic acid and their derivatives. Flavonoids consist of flavonols, flavan-3-ols, flavan-3,4-ols and anthocyanins.
