The dichotomy, Gould argued, was false.3 The most recent contribution to this line of thinking is. Key advances and important research findings include: (1) a set of detailed projections of future climate change covering South Africa at an 8x8 km2 resolution – the most detailed projections of future climate change available for the entire country; (2) new models to measure the impact of climate change on South African exposure.

The process
It was clear that this information gap would have unknown implications for policy development, thus limiting the relevance of the assessment. A survey of the nature of livestock predation and its management in communal pastures was commissioned and undertaken by an independent research group already operating in communal pastures.
The product
As a result, the input received from stakeholders was largely focused on the management and scientific aspects of the assessment. When considering such a research intervention, it is important to ensure that results are delivered within the assessment timelines.
Way forward
Stakeholder input from the communal agriculture sector was encouraged through existing mechanisms established by the National Woolgrowers Association and Conservation South Africa. The absence of stakeholder input from the municipal agriculture sector underscores the need for those planning scientific assessments to identify potentially marginalized stakeholder groups in advance and plan (and budget) accordingly to facilitate input from these groups.
Concluding comments
Introduction - the need for and value of a scientific assessment of livestock predation in South Africa. In March 2019, the South African National Department of Health (SANDoH) launched South Africa's first national household vaccination coverage survey since 1994.
The studies
First, the World Health Organization's (WHO) Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP) had set a global goal for countries for 2020 to achieve 90% national coverage of all their primary vaccine series.1 The administrative fully immunized coverage of Less than a year old (FIC) of South Africa's Comprehensive Immunization Program (EPI-SA), reported through the District Health Information System (DHIS), shows that EPI-SA is not on track to meet the GVAP target 2 EPI-SA's FIC rose steadily from 83.6% in 2012/2013 to 89.8% before falling to 82.3%. All studies received ethical approval from institutional review boards - the first three from the Medunsa Campus Research Ethics Committee and the fourth from the Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University Research Ethics Committee.
Discussion and recommendations
To avoid this, three researchers (with a minimum matric qualification) were employed and trained according to the WHO23 protocol for interviews and data collection. The researcher (R4), a pharmacist not affiliated with the local clinics/health services, participated in the data collection and overall supervision of the two groups as described above.

Introduction
Tsitsikamma National Park, Scripps Institution of Oceanography; GlaxoSmithKline; US National Cancer Institute; Coral Reef Research Foundation; University of the Western Cape. Exploration of the taxonomy, natural product chemistry and biomedical potential of the rich diversity of South African latrunculid sponges (family Latrunculiidae) at Rhodes University, the South African Department of Environmental Affairs and the University of the Western Cape has continued unabated for more than a quarter. of a century as part of a collaborative program for the discovery of marine biod.
Biodiversity of South African latrunculid sponges
The potent cytotoxicity of pyrroloiminoquinone alkaloid pigments isolated from latrunculid sponges may have biomedical applications. The genus Tsitsikamma is endemic to South Africa.13 The identification of sponges belonging to this family was based primarily on a number of key morphological characteristics, including, in most genera, the presence of characteristic silica-based microscleres, which differ structurally between genera. different (Figure 3).
Pyrroloiminoquinone alkaloids isolated from South African latrunculid sponges
Proposed biosynthesis of pyrroloiminoquinone alkaloids
Over 100 marine pyrroloiminequinone natural products have been isolated from marine organisms collected from around the world, and the chemistry and bioactivities of this group of compounds have been regularly reviewed in the chemistry literature. . C on either side of the central iminoquinone ring B) isolated from a sponge29, but were not the first compounds from this structural class to be isolated from a marine organism.
Biomedicinal potential of pyrroloiminoquinone alkaloids
The taxonomy, chemistry, symbiotic microbial community structure and biomedical potential of South African latrunculid fungi continue to attract interest a quarter of a century after the first studies of the natural product chemistry and cytotoxicity of extracts of T. However, research into new targeted drug delivery systems incorporating pyrroloiminoquinone -compounds and is currently underway at the University of the Western Cape, may open up new opportunities for marine pyrroloiminoquinone metabolites as possible anti-cancer or anti-malarial drugs.
Authors’ contributions
The aim of the current study was to investigate the extent of plagiarism in articles appearing in 19 South African management journals published in 2016 and to compare the findings with a study undertaken in 2015 using 2011 data from the same 19 journals to use. University administrators, magazine editors and publishers, and the South African Department of Higher Education and Training are warned about this plagiarism which undermines the academic endeavour.
Literature review
The present study highlights the rise of plagiarism in the field of management and draws attention to this problem in other areas of the academic world. In light of the above, addressing plagiarism by faculty should be critical in academic institutions.
Results
Of interest is that the journal with the lowest similarity index in the 2015 study again had the lowest similarity index in the current study. The similarity scores of single, double and multi-author articles in the 2015 study were compared with those in the current study.
Discussion
The journal with the second lowest similarity index in the 2015 study, however, had the highest similarity index in the current study. An ANOVA performed on the 2015 study similarity scores for the three author groups suggested that there was no significant difference in scores.
Recommendations
The DHET pays an eligible university approximately ZAR100,000 per article published in a journal on prescribed lists. Conservatively, including only the 98 articles, it appears that the DHET paid about ZAR9.8 million in subsidy to universities and research institutions for questionable work (i.e. publications with a similarity index >24%).
Limitations of the study
Recommendations for future research
The fox in the hen house: A critical examination of plagiarism among members of the management academy. Finally, the results confirm many of the current accepted coastal regimes on the eastern and southern coasts of South Africa.
Ocean environment
A brief background of known oceanographic conditions in the relevant regions is given first, followed by a discussion of the dispersal effects of winds, waves, and currents. In addition, UV exposure and the effects of mechanical abrasion on plastic drifters can affect plume movement1, and since the movement of drifts under the influence of wind and waves is critically dependent on their position in the water column, dispersal trajectories may also vary.
Effects of winds, waves and ocean currents on nurdles
As the coast turns westward, cooler water is often seen near the coast, uplifted by a combination of widening isobaths, bottom boundary currents, and winds.17 The Agulhas Bank widens, forming a complex coastal region dominated by winds, insolation effects, coastal morphology and bathymetry as the influence of the Agulhas Current decreases.18 Winds play a dominant role in the movement of the upper layers of the ocean. The main axes of coastal winds around South Africa generally follow the coast.19 Nevertheless, local coastal features can cause changes in the wind regime, e.g.
Data and analyses
Time sequence of nurdle beach deposition
The warm waters of the Agulhas Current are easily visible, along with the calculated geostrophic currents. In the lower right corner, the direction and height of the back wave (dotted) are given for 33°S and 23°E.
Wind, ocean structures and nurdle movement
As a result, nurdles were found along the entire south coast from November 20 and into December. Rip currents, live capture and transient eddies on the coastal boundary of the Agulhas Current, South Africa: Their relevance to the KwaZulu-Natal sardine run.
Data and methods
For the obs, most stations in the western half of the country are showing significant increases. Most stations in the rest of the country show trends above +0.6 days/decade under RCP4.5 conditions.
Discussion and conclusion
So the practice of stewardship is the actual, practical application of the concept of stewardship in a particular place or context. Despite focused biodiversity stewardship approaches accounting for only 33% of the sample (Table 3), biodiversity conservation was the main objective most frequently identified by respondents (57%, Figure 2).
Stewardship actions expected from stewards
Evidence of ‘social-ecological stewardship’
Matlabas is a mountain swamp in Marakele National Park, located in the upper reaches of the Limpopo River in South Africa. The results highlight the importance of current wetland management (including rehabilitation) initiatives in South Africa.
Study area
The thickness of the peat in the bog was recorded along four south-to-north running transects (A, B, C and D) covering the eastern side and at five points (W1 to W5) covering the western side (Figure 2). This community occurred in the wettest part of the bog and was closely associated with peat deposits.
Educational technologies for learning and teaching practices
Specifically, this model was applied to our context within the University of the Western Cape, highlighting the role of the academic developer within the model. It is therefore disheartening that the World Economic Forum's Global Information Technology Report 2016 ranked the quality of South Africa's science and mathematics education as the lowest of the 139 countries surveyed.5 South Africa's education system as a whole was ranked the third lowest.
Purpose
Emerging learning technologies within the learning and teaching environments of physics are generally underutilized in South Africa. By continuing to use iKamva, learning and teaching practices within our department can be better aligned with UWC's Institutional Operating Plan [IOP White Paper.
The e-learning ecosystem
Although the 21st century is well underway, it is still crucial to familiarize both academics and students with emerging technologies to improve their current learning and teaching practices, especially in the complex contexts of developing countries. The IOP specifically states that 'enhancing the informed use of technologies in learning and teaching is a central feature of the plan' and further states that 'the use of technologies must be supported by pedagogical rationales derived from their transformative potential. learning and teaching, especially by encouraging the active participation of students'6.
The physics biome and digital habitat
This focus on relationships within the biome foregrounds the role of the academic developer as an intermediary between the digital habitat and the rest of the biome. An important caveat is that not all primary consumers in our biome use the digital habitat.

Conclusions
Prior to the recovery of Homo naledi from the Dinaledi chamber of the Rising Star Cave system, Africa's Middle Pleistocene fossil record was particularly sparse. This tooth is attributed to 'Archaic Homo sapiens' based on the short length of the root.3(p.267).
