title: An evaluation of the use of social media in the enhancement of stakeholder engagement in a public institution.

description: This study investigates the use of social media for public engagement purposes by South Africa’s parliament. While the use of social media by corporations and individuals for business and activism purposes has received an extensive scholarship, there remains a gap when it comes to an understanding of its uses by arms of the state in promoting public engagement. Therefore, this study becomes one of the seminal works on how South Africa’s state components are appropriating social media for public engagement purposes. This qualitative study used a Twitter sample of six months between November 2018 and April 2019 to understand this developing trend. Critically, this qualitative study sought to understand three things: the uses, effect, and nature of public engagement mediated via South Africa’s parliament Twitter handle. The researcher sought to test the effect, if at all, of integrating social media by the parliament in its public engagement exercise. The preferred design for this study was netnography as it allowed the researcher to harvest social media data with no ethical dilemmas. Social media handles of public officials and governments are considered public property; hence the researcher was within the acceptable norms by harvesting data for this study. Public relations’ stakeholder models were employed as preferred theoretical lenses. The study found that there existed some inconsistency with regards to messaging when it comes to the use of social media. This inconsistency was further bolstered by the fact that the parliament, though using interactive technology, still operated in a top-down monologue approach as there was no engagement in the real sense. The parliament Twitter handle acts in the same way traditional television or newspaper operated by passing information without necessarily engaging with the audience.

title: Use of surfactants for crude oil-in-water emulsions demulsification

description: This research seeks to optimize the efficiency of demulsification of oil-in-water emulsions from matured reservoirs subjected to enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and trimethyl-tetradecyl ammonium chloride (TTAC).This study will focus on simulating stable oil-in-water emulsions at different oil ratios and investigate the factors (oil to water ratio, emulsifier concentration, homogenization speed,salinity, and droplet size) that could affect the stability of the emulsion. Factors such as demulsification time, demulsifier concentration, and oil ratio will be investigated via responsesurface methodology with central composite design to determine the optimum operating conditions for maximum demulsification efficiency.

title: A multi-dimensional model for assessing e-government service gaps in the context of a developing country: A critical realist perspective.

description: The purpose of this study was in twofold: to investigate the factors enhancing e-government service gaps in the context of a developing country from multiple perspectives and develop a model for assessing e-government service gaps in the same context. To accomplish this purpose, the study performed an integrated literature review as well as construct analysis. Also, a conceptual model for assessing e-government service gaps was developed in Chapter Three. The study was grounded on the tenets and assumptions of the philosophy of critical realism. A sequential multi-methodology design was used to collect quantitative and qualitative data. Since the researcher aimed to understand the phenomenon from multiple perspectives, data was collected from three units: government employees; business; and citizens. A total of five hundred and fifty (550) questionnaire surveys were used to examine the factors enhancing e-government service gaps and evaluate dimensions for measuring service gaps while thirty (30) in-depth semi-structured interviews were used to gain a comprehensive understanding of factors enhancing e-government service gaps in a developing context, a purpose that could not be achieved through the use of structured questionnaire survey alone.

title: The importance of information and communication technology in women-owned businesses in Kigali, Rwanda

description: <b>Clearance Certificate No | 2018FBREC575</b><br><br>Positivism philosophy underpins the study; a quantitative survey method was used to collect cross-sectional data from 409 women-owned SMEs in the Kigali sample population selected purposively. Validity and reliability tested. The data analysis package used was the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) latest version (26spss) and Stata 16. Ethical consideration guidelines for researcher applied during data collection. The data was gathered from 409 women-owned SMEs in Kigali using a Personal survey; Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing, Close-ended questionnaires. The researcher composed the questionnaire and consulted the CPUT statistician, who helped adjust the questionnaire to meet the criteria of validity and reliability to enable the analysis statistically, using SPSS and Stata. He conducted a pilot test from 15 women entrepreneurs in Kigali to ensure that the questionnaire was comprehensive, free from error, bias and easy to respond. The questionnaire contained seven sections. 1) Demographic information was gathered using dichotomous, multiple-choice, fill-in, filter and partially closed questions. 2) Dichotomous questions, multiple-choice and follow-up questions collected information investigating the knowledge/skills of women-owned SMEs in Kigali. 3) Business profile data was collected and used fill-in, multiple-choice dichotomous, and filter questions. 4) Multiple-choice questions were used to collect motivation and opinion data from women-owned businesses in Kigali. 5) The Likert scale was used to measure the constraints faced by women-owned SMEs in Kigali. 6) Used Dichotomous, multiple-choice, fill-in, filter, partially closed, and Likert scale questions to find ICT solutions to constraints faced by women-owned SMEs in Kigali. 7) Dichotomous, multiple-choice, filter, partially closed, and Likert scale questions were used to collect data from women-owned businesses in Kigali toward the government and stakeholders' efforts and policies to facilitate and promote the integration of ICT among women businesses in Kigali. The second data, including organisation reports, government publications, journal articles, and theses, were collected from the literature review. Data were collected according to CPUT ethics of conduct, and the researcher received the consent of respondents. The data analysis used SPSS and Stata software and presented in graphs, charts and tables.
