Opis:
Over two-thirds of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions that contribute to climate change emanate from transport. This could double by 2050. With per capita emissions nearly twice the global average, South Africa ranks 13th globally on GHG emissions with road transport, directly and indirectly, accounting for 91.2% of total transport GHG emissions. It has been projected that by 2100, up to 100% increase in the country’s average temperature above the 20th century average rise. This has far-reaching implications, even for the transport sector. To decarbonise its transport sector, South Africa has committed to reducing its GHG emissions by 34% by 2020 and 42% by 2025, respectively, through pointed strategies and policies. However, efficient implementation of proposed measures and sufficient funding remain daunting challenges. Thus, this paper contends that adequate attention has not been paid to active transport in the country’s transport decarbonisation policy implementation despite its inclusion in policy statements. It then asserts that active transport is indispensable to South Africa’s achievement of its transport decarbonisation goals, especially when steps taken hitherto seem ineffective. Consequently, the right attitudes, regulatory instruments, and policy initiatives towards the promotion of active transport are recommended.

Opis:
Africa is regarded as the least developed continent in terms of overall development and specifically in terms of human capital development (HCD) efforts. Research on the determinants of HCD in Africa is scanty, as the literature is dominated by country-specific studies as well as group of country studies that primarily focus on the effect of human capital on growth and other economic development parameters. Therefore, this paper investigates the determinants of human capital development in 33 African countries over a 14-year period from 2000 to 2013. The empirical analysis is predicated on Sen’s capability approach that was modified following Binder and Georgiadis (2011) in order to explicitly account for the role of health, infrastructure and institutions as potential drivers of HCD. This is a departure from previous studies that focused primarily on the role of education. In addition to preliminary tests such as line plot, descriptive statistics and correlation analysis carried out, the data is analysed using panel unit root, co-integration and causality techniques. Findings show that all the variables are integrated of order one while HCD and its determinants have a stable long-run equilibrium relationship. Specifically, all the variables significantly influence HCD in the long run, whereas the contemporaneous models suggest that only institutions matter. Utilizing alternative estimators as well as estimation of subsamples, robustness tests reinforce our findings. Therefore, African governments may consider supporting HCD through sustained investment in the education and health sectors. At the same time, short-term gains may be attained through enhanced institutional quality and infrastructure development.

Opis:
Alternative livelihoods are often promoted by conservation organisations or governments to reduce rural people’s reliance on or use of natural resources, or to compensate them for loss of access. The effectiveness of such interventions has, however, been limited over the years. It is no news that the greatest challenges facing humankind are the alleviation of poverty and the conservation of biological diversity. Yet, rather than being perceived as separate issues, these two challenges are often closely linked. In order to find solutions to these challenges, both Non-Governmental and Governmental Organizations have put in place diverse alternative projects. Unfortunately, such endeavours have met with little or no successful outcome. This, therefore, leads to the question of whether an alternative livelihood program is really a substitute or an added portfolio to the existing activities of rural people. This paper critically examines alternative livelihood projects on the basis that these are either the former or the latter. Data was obtained through the use of various search engines and also from direct observation. The study discovered that, while different alternative livelihood projects have been employed with various objectives across Africa, most of the reviewed projects have had little or no success owing to management issues within the NGOs or GOs, and, most especially, due to the actual condition of local people. Thus, ‘alternative livelihoods’ tend to be an added portfolio of other activities rather than a substitute for current reality.

Computable General Equilibrium model
Illicit cigarette
South Africa
Opis:
Aim/purpose – This paper evaluates the effects of the illicit cigarette trade on the South African economy through a static Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. Indeed, the illicit cigarette trade occupies a prominent place in public debate in South Africa. Design/methodology/approach – The base year Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) of the model is constructed from the data for 2015 to reflect the most recent information. The model includes a number of direct and indirect tax variables. The indirect tax section is decomposed into VAT, excise and fuel levy for analysis purposes. The household section considered all income categories with 14 distinct deciles. Findings – One policy simulation was carried out to evaluate the effect of the illicit cigarette trade on growth and income distribution. Our findings show that the loss of R8 billion in tax revenue given the current growth of the illicit cigarette market has impacted negatively on the country’s GDP and employment rate. Research implications/limitations – We utilised the latest available data for 2015 when constructing the SAM that was used as database for the model. The assessment of the illicit cigarette trade through the application of a CGE model provided strategies for the implementation of a specific Cigarette Governing Body, with distinct areas of accountability focusing solely on illicit cigarettes. Originality/value/contribution – There is a need for urgent attention from the state to combat the trade in illicit cigarettes, as most of this illegal product is produced in South Africa. This paper contributes by expanding awareness amongst policy makers and the public regarding the connection between the illicit trade in licit goods, corruption, and organised criminal networks.

Opis:
Since coming to power in 1994 successive ANC-governments have engaged in a series of attempts at national spatial development planning in South Africa. These engagements have received scant treatment in the planning literature. In this paper a broad overview of these initiatives is provided, with an emphasis on the different instruments; the context in which they were developed; the institutions that were proposed and/or created in support of the instruments; and the extent to which the instruments were implemented and what their levels of success were. The paper concludes with a call for comparative research, including South Africa, in this arena.

Opis:
Although existing literature claims that consumers are ready for proximity mobile payments, the reality is that adoption is still low in South Africa. Service providers’ attempts to translate this potential into profi t is hindered by consumers’ perception of risks associated with proximity mobile payments. The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceived risk dimensions as possible inhibitors of proximity mobile payment adoption, as well as to investigate the role of gender diff erences, drawing from the perceived risk and push-pull theories. Using a convenience sample, data was collected from South African smartphone users, from whom 284 valid online surveys were obtained. The standard regression analysis reveals that fi nancial-security and performance risk are predictors of proximity mobile payment adoption, and that product risk is not a signifi cant predictor, at least in the South African context. The fi ndings also reveal that both genders feel more or less the same about the infl uence of risk factors on the adoption of mobile proximity payments, except for performance risk. The results also show that females are more concerned about the performance of proximity mobile payments than males. The study provides tangible insights that service providers and marketers can use to guide application development and communication with consumers. A contribution is also made to the limited empirical research on the infl uence of proximity mobile payment risks on adoption during crisis times.

Opis:
Aim/purpose – Provision of basic education is pertinent to human capital development, poverty alleviation and abating the threat of insurgence in Africa. Governments in different countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) do budget and spend various amount of money on education every year, but little is known about the effect of such spending on education, especially primary school enrolment which forms the basic educational foundation. Design/methodology/approach – Using data for 24 countries from 2000 to 2016, this study assesses the effect of government educational spending on primary school enrolment in SSA by employing the System-GMM approach. Findings – The results show that government spending has significant (p ≤ 0.05) and positive effect on primary school enrolment in SSA. The results are further confirmed using different diagnostic tests which include the Arellano–Bond test for first and second order autocorrelation in the disturbance term and the Hansen J-test for the validity of the instrumental variables. Other variables analysed (control), which have positive influence on enrolment, include GDP, general number of teachers available, and percentage trained teachers. Population growth rate negatively influences enrolment. Research implications/limitations – The study therefore concludes that increasing spending on education by governments in SSA is sine qua non for improving primary school enrolment rate in the region. Originality/value/contribution – This study has contributed empirically and theoretically to the body of knowledge. The scope covered also makes the study uniquely robust and different from previous ones, though scanty, country-based assessments.

Opis:
The fast and consistent growth of cybercrime and its socio-economic consequence have received scholarly attention both within organisations, governmental bodies and researchers in academic environment. Cybercrime is well known to have widely affected the economic conditions of organisations, political economies and individuals. The main objective of this study was to systematically review and outline the current state of research on the determiners of cybercrime adaptation, consequences of cybercrime and the hindrances of cybercrime policies in Anglophone West Africa. The database search was done between 20th December 2020 and 9th January 2021. The search was done through three electronic databases, including Scopus, Sage and Google Scholar. According to the eligibility criteria, articles were included if they were written in English and addressed the issue of cybercrime in Anglophone West Africa, and either the consequence or reasons for cybercrime adaptation or the hindrances of cybercrime policies. Included articles were critically read and data was extracted for reporting. The total number of articles included in the study amounted to 24. Out of the 24 articles, 13 addressed the issues of cybercrime consequences, 6 tackled the reasons and 6 addressed the hindrances of cybercrime policies and regulations. The study revealed that cybercrime has micro-, mesoand macroeconomic impacts in West Africa. At the micro level, citizens loses both financial resourcesand international travel opportunities. E-businesses at the meso level are victimised both financially and reputationally. At the macro level, countries where cybercrime is prevalence experience a reduction in foreign investment, damage of international reputation and financial problems. The review has also shown that cybercrime perpetrators lose focus in education. The review also revealed that the reason for cybercrime adaptation is associated with economic strains and corruption at the governmental level. Lastly, hindrances of cybercrime policies circulate around corruption, government interference, ineffective implementation of cybercrime laws and inconsistencies in the content of cybercrime policies. Based on the limitations provided in the study, the present author recommends further studies to include articles in different languages. It is also recommended for future potential researchersto study how cybercrime reflects in the lives of perpetrators and their perspectives on the mitigative interventions. The author argues that to further increase the effectiveness of cybercrime mitigation process in Africa, future studies is needed to understand how cybercrime is organised in African societies.

Opis:
This paper examined the determinants of household food insufficiency coping strategies based on secondary data collected from 12,480 randomly selected households in Malawi. In response to food insufficiency, households employed the following coping strategies: relying on less preferred food options, reducing the proportion of meals, reducing the number of meals per day, restricting adult consumption for small children to eat, and borrowing food from family or friends. To assess the determinants of food insufficiency coping strategies, a multivariate probit model was employed. Education level, household size, livestock ownership and place of residence were some of the important factors that affected the choice of the coping strategies. The paper recommends policies that aim at strengthening the education system of the rural communities to equip them with skills they can use diversify their livelihood sources.

Opis:
W tradycyjnych i konserwatywnych kręgach popularny jest pogląd, że chrześcijaństwo jako religia zostało wprowadzone przez kolonialistów. Tymczasem historia chrześcijaństwa w Afryce jest o wiele starsza i zaczyna się w czasach Apostołów. Pierwszy okres chrześcijaństwa w północnej Afryce oraz w rogu Afryki zakończył się wraz z inwazją islamu. Następną próbą zaszczepienia chrześcijaństwa był okres kolonizacji portugalskiej od XV do XVIII wieku, zakończony niepowodzeniem. Dopiero wysiłek misyjny wieku XIX doprowadził do trwałego i znacznego wzrostu Kościołów afrykańskich. W 2000 r. populacja chrześcijan w Afryce wyniosła 335 milionów i wykazuje tendencje wzrostowe.
There has been a belief in traditional and conservative African circles that Christianity is a religion that was brought by the white man. However Christianity on the African continent precedes colonialism. The history of. Christianity in Africa can be divided into three phases: Antiquity, the Portuguese period and the 19th-century missionary efforts. The first phase, where Church in North Africa and the Horn of Africa ended with the rise of Islam. Efforts to evangelise Africa south of the Sahara in the second period 15th to the 18th centuries were apparently a complete failure because Christianity did not take roots. The last period is marked by the blossoming of the Church in Africa. where the Christian population in Africa grew to some 335 million in 2000 (45%), marking a shift in the “center of gravity of Christianity” from the West to Latin America, parts of Asia and Africa.

Opis:
The surge in artisanal gold mining (AGM) activities and the associated environmental impact in Ghana have elicited several stakeholders' attempts to curb the problem. However, due to little understanding of the underlying issues, these efforts have been ineffective. This study aims to use a socio-ecological framework to analyze drivers of AGM activities, the environmental pressures, the state change, their impact on human welfare, and the management response as measures (DAPSI(W)R(M)) to the problem. Evaluate AGM's impact on Ghana's ability to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Data were collected from relevant literature on the subject and analyzed with the DAPSI(W) R(M) framework. Esteem needs, food, acceptance and friendship, and self-actualization are the main drivers of AGM activities leading to environmental pressures, including abrasion, extraction of living and non-living resources, the introduction of non-synthetic compounds, among others. State changes of the environment resulting from the pressures generated by human activities were changes in the land and forest cover (1.13%), topography (hills turned into flatland and undulating), and biota. Due to the state in the environment, water quality and availability, agriculture food production, fish yield, food safety, spiritual and cultural loss, death, injury, and health of gold miners and other stakeholders have been affected.

Opis:
Wady odpowiadające cnocie umiarkowania w kulturowym dziedzictwie szczepu Atyap: podejście filozoficzne W dyskursie moralnym cnoty wciąż zajmują centralne miejsce. Dzieje się tak, ponieważ dyskusje o moralności obracają się wokół pojęć cnoty i wady. Bierze się za pewnik, że wynikiem cnót są czyny dobre moralnie, natomiast wady prowadzą do czynów złych, powszechnie potępianych. Etycy cnót opierają swoje argumenty na założeniu, że czyny ludzkie są bezpośrednio połączone bądź to z cnotą, bądź z wadą. Każdej cnocie odpowiada nadmiar lub deficyt, którego przekroczenie wiąże się z przeciwną jej moralną dyspozycją, nazywaną wadą. W takim wypadku, powinna istnieć jakaś ustalona miara, na której podstawie rozróżniamy między cnotą a wadą. Jakie kryteria obowiązują w przypadku ustalania takiej miary? Co więcej, istnieje tradycyjny podział cnót na kardynalne i poboczne: jakie dokładnie cechy moralne winna mieć cnota, by być określona jako kardynalna? W artykule autor podejmuje próbę analizy jednej z tak zwanych cnót kardynalnych, mianowicie umiarkowania. Szczególny nacisk został położony na pojęciach wstydu i honoru, rozumianych w duchu dziedzictwa kulturowego szczepu Atyap. Celem autora jest znalezienie tych cech, które odpowiadają za ustanowienie umiarkowania cnotą kardynalną oraz podjęcie próby wyznaczenia miary, która odpowiada za wady związane z pojęciem umiarkowania.
The place of virtues in moral discussions continues to occupy a central position. This is because moral arguments revolve around virtues and vices. It is taken for granted that virtues produce commendable good moral actions, whereas vices lead to immoral actions that are widely condemned. Virtue ethicists ground their arguments on the assumption that human actions are directly linked to either virtues or vices. But then, to each of the virtues, there exists a degree of excess or deficit, above or below which we begin to speak of counter habitual predispositions, called vices. If this is so, then there should be a way of ascertaining the measure on the basis of which we distinguish between a virtue and its vice. How do we justify the criteria for arriving at such a measure? More so, there is a traditional classification of virtues into cardinal and peripheral virtues: what exact moral features could a virtue exemplify in order to be classified as a cardinal rather than a peripheral virtue? In this article, the Author attempts the analysis of one of the so-called cardinal virtues, precisely that of temperance. He tries to highlight the concept of shame verses honour as viewed and practiced among the atyap cultural heritage in Africa. The goal is modest, namely: to highlight those moral features which justify the classification of temperance as a cardinal virtue and to account for the standard or measure which account for the distinguishing of the vices associated with temperance.

Globalization and technology transfer have led to the diffusion of risk communications to users from cultures that were not initially viewed as the target users. This study examined industry and trade workers’ overall impressions of symbols used to convey varying degrees of hazardousness. Six symbols, including symbols from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z535 Standard (ANSI, 1998) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 3864:1984 Standard (ISO, 1984) were selected. With the exception of the SKULL symbol, results showed wide discrepancies between users’ perceptions of the symbols and their intended meanings. Implications for cross-cultural research on warning components and risk communications are discussed.

Opis:
Enhancing rural agricultural productivity using proven technologies such as genetically modified (GM) maize production has many advantages as a pathway to economic development and poverty reduction. However, despite the global rise in GM maize and potential benefits of GM technology, the production rates and yields of smallholder farmers remain very low for reasons that are poorly understood. With this background, the aim of this study was to investigate the drivers of genetically modified (GM) maize awareness, participation, and intensity of production at the household level. Data were collected from 400 randomly selected respondents from Ngqushwa Local Municipality using a semi-structured questionnaire. Through a triple hurdle model, the study revealed that GM maize awareness is negatively influenced by age and female gender and positively influenced by married status, employment and number of years in school. Conditional on awareness of GM maize varieties, both participation and intensity of participation in GM maize production are positively influenced by land size, female gender, group membership, income and ownership of arable land and negatively influenced by employment. The study recommends that priority should be given to these socio-economic and institutional (group membership) factors by targeting GM maize awareness campaigns using platforms more suited to female-headed, older, less educated and unemployed rural farming households. The study also recommends addressing income, secure land ownership and access to large areas of land.

The weight of the sample studied was 69 g. The meteorite is composed of several types of chondrules including porphyritic-Ol-Px, barred-Ol, radial-Px, granular and cryptocrystalline with distinct and diffused (not sharp) boundaries, and opaque grains and aggregates, enclosed in a very fine-grained matrix. The average compositions of minerals are: olivine (both in chondrules and matrix) − Fo70.4Fa29.1Te0.5, pyroxenes, represented by Mg-Fe (Ca-poor) orthopyroxene (and minor clinopyroxene?) − En73.9Fs24.1Wo2.0, feldspars (small in the matrix and in barred chondrules), with An12-37, and Or~3-4, taenite − Fe 70.80, Ni 25.50 and Co 1.67 wt. %, troilite − Fe0.98S1.00, chromite (Fe2+ 0.96Mg0.12Mn0.01Zn0.01) (Cr1.52Al0.23Fe3+ 0.02Ti0.10Si0.02)O4; altered accessory minerals including apatite and iron-rich secondary phases have also been identified and analyzed. The meteorite is of petrologic type 5, as evidenced by the observed recrystallization of the matrix, relatively good preservation of the chondrule structures, homogeneous composition of olivine and pyroxene, and the presence of only secondary small feldspar grains. The shock stage, S2, is based on the presence of undulatory extinction and irregular fractures in olivine crystals. The weathering grade, W3, is confirmed by the observation that kamacite is totally altered into secondary iron phases, whereas Nirich taenite, and troilite are only partly weathered. The specimen shows many bulk- and mineral-chemical parameters corresponding, mostly, to the LL chondrite group (e.g., Fe/SiO2 0.49, SiO2/MgO 1.62, Fa in olivine 29.05). However, concentrations of several other elements, including REE, are not fully consistent with the average values for the LL ordinary chondrites. Apparently, the parent body of the studied NWA 7915 meteorite was depleted in Dy, Tm, and Yb, compared to typical LL-type ordinary chondrite parent bodies. Also, relatively high concentrations of other elements, including Ba and Sr, have been measured, which may result from terrestrial weathering in hot desert conditions. The meteorite has been classified as LL5 ordinary chondrite, S2, W3, and registered in the Meteoritical Society database as NWA 7915. The type specimen is deposited in the Mineralogical Museum of the University of Wrocław.

Opis:
Współczesna koncepcja misji opiera się na trzech elementach: misji ad Gentes, reewangelizacji i wreszcie stałej działalności misyjnej Kościoła wśród jej wiernych członków. Misja jest centrum życia Kościoła, a Kościół pozbawiony charakteru misyjnego w zasadzie nie istnieje. Pytanie, jakie należy zadać, to nie czy Afryka jest jeszcze kontynentem misyjnym, ale jaka jest istota misji Bożej. Kościół w Afryce jest misyjny w dwójnasób: (1) jako bierny odbiorca depozytu wiary powierzonego przez Jezusa Apostołom i (2) jako substancja czynna w niesienia Ewangelii aż po krańce ziemi. Sfery, w których misja Kościoła w Afryce jest priorytetem, są następujące: 1) zadanie pojednania i pokoju, 2) głoszenia Ewangelii dla niechrześcijan poprzez dialog, 3) ewangelizacja społeczeństwa (sekularyzm, modernizm), 4) duszpasterstwo „ochrzczonych”, 5) inkulturacja: „Ciągły dialog między wiarą chrześcijańską i kulturą”.
The concept of Mission takes three dimensions: ad Gentes, re-evangelization and finally the missionary activity of the Church, which the Church undertakes among her faithful members. The mission is a constitutive element in the nature and the life of the Church; the Church, devoid of her missionary character, is non-existent. Theologically, therefore, Church and mission are complimentary, two sides of the same coin. As a consequence, then, the question to ask in today’s discussion is not whether Africa is still a missionary continent because, essentially, where the Church is there is the mission of God. The Church in Africa is missionary in two fold ways: (1) as passive recipient of the deposit of faith entrusted by Jesus to the Apostles and (2) as active agent in bringing the Gospel to the ends of the earth. There are also areas where mission in Africa is urgent: 1) The mission of Reconciling Peoples, 2) Proclamation of the Gospel to the adherents of non-Christians through dialogue, 3) Evangelization of the society (secularism, modernism as challenges today), 4) Pastoral care of the “already baptized,” 5) Inculturation: “Continuous dialogue between the Christian faith and human cultures.”

Opis:
The limited supply of fossil fuels, constant rise in the demand of energy and the importance of reducing greenhouse emissions has brought about the adoption of renewable energy sources for generation of electrical power. In this paper, the impact of renewable energy generation in Nigeria is explored. A review of renewable deposits in Nigeria with a focus on Solar, Biomass, Hydropower, Pumped Storage Hydro and Ocean energy is detailed. The impact of renewable energy-based generation is assessed from three different dimensions: Economic Impact, Social Impact and Environmental Impact. In accessing economic impact; the conditions are employment and job creation, gross domestic product (GDP) growth and increase in local research and development. To analyze the social impact; renewable energy education, renewable energy businesses, ministries and institutes, renewable energy projects and investments as well as specific solar and wind projects across Nigeria were considered. Also, environmental issues were discussed. Similarly, policy imperatives for renewable energy generation in Nigeria was provided. This paper would be useful in accessing the successes Nigeria has experienced so far in the area of sustainable development and the next steps to achieving universal energy for all in Nigeria in 2030.
Ograniczona podaż paliw kopalnych, stały wzrost zapotrzebowania na energię oraz konieczność ograniczenia emisji gazów cieplarnianych pociągnęły za sobą konieczność stosowania odnawialnych źródeł energii do wytwarzania energii elektrycznej. W artykule zbadano wpływ wytwarzania energii odnawialnej w Nigerii. Szczegółowy przegląd zasobów energii odnawialnej w Nigerii, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem energii słonecznej, biomasy, energii wodnej i elektrowni szczytowo-pompowych i energii oceanicznej. Produkcja energii ze źródeł odnawialnych została przeanalizowana w trzech różnych wymiarach: wpływ na gospodarkę, wpływ na społeczeństwo i wpływ na środowisko. W aspekcie wpływu na gospodarkę wzięto pod uwagę: zatrudnienie i tworzenie miejsc pracy, wzrost produktu krajowego brutto (PKB) oraz wzrost lokalnych badań i rozwój. Analiza wpływu społecznego objęła: edukację w zakresie energii odnawialnej, przedsiębiorstwa, ministerstwa i instytuty zajmujące się energią odnawialną, projekty i inwestycje w zakresie energii odnawialnej, a także konkretne projekty dotyczące energii słonecznej i wiatrowej w całej Nigerii. Omówiono również kwestie środowiskowe. W podobny sposób przedstawiono imperatywy polityczne dotyczące wytwarzania energii odnawialnej w Nigerii. Ten artykuł wskazuje na istotny dla Nigerii cel zrównoważonego rozwoju, jakim jest odnawialna energia dla wszystkich. Celem jest osiągnięcie w tym kraju powszechnej odnawialnej energii dla wszystkich w 2030 r.

Przy zastosowaniu rozszerzonego modelu grawitacyjnego, pogrupowane i niepogrupowane wyniki badania potwierdzają słuszność podejścia elastycznościowego i absorpcyjnego do bilansu handlowego. Podobnie test wrażliwości, dokonany poprzez podział analizowanego okresu na dwa podokresy (2005–2016 i 1994–2004), potwierdza słuszność podejścia elastycznościowego i absorpcyjnego do bilansu handlowego.

Using an augmented gravity model, the grouped and ungrouped results of the study confirm the elasticity and absorption approaches of the trade balance. Similarly, the robustness check, by dividing the sample period into two sub‑eriods (2005–016 and 1994–004), also confirms the elasticity and absorption approaches of the trade balance.

Opis:
Understanding the concept of brand personality and team identification for PSL (Premier Soccer League) sport team is important for both team managers and companies involved in sport marketing. As such, the objective of this study is to model the role of brand personality influencing team identification among PSL teams in South Africa. To achieve this objective, the study used the quantitative method with a self-administrated questionnaire. The items included in the questionnaire were obtained from the previous developed and validated scales form the literature. The questionnaire was distributed to 450 respondents. Confirmatory factor analysis for structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to validate and model the role of brand personality influencing team identification among PSL teams in South Africa. The study tested three variables that could potentially be influencing team identification among PSL teams. The results of the study revealed that only (2) two variables, namely Successfulness and Sincerity were statistically significant and are therefore influencing team identification among PSL teams. This suggests that Generation Y university students are knowledgeable about PSL teams in South Africa. As such, Management of PSL teams must incorporate brand personality incompliance to this cohort in their marketing efforts in order to keep the current and attracting new fans from Generation Y cohort. Companies planning to offer sponsorship to PSL teams should pay special attention to these two variables if they match brand personality of their companies, as they play a vital role for marketing strategies.
Zrozumienie koncepcji osobowości marki i identyfikacji zespołu dla drużyny sportowej PSL (Premier Soccer League) jest ważne zarówno dla menedżerów zespołów, jak i firm zajmujących się marketingiem sportowym. W związku z tym celem tego badania jest modelowanie roli osobowości marki wpływającej na identyfikację zespołu wśród zespołów PSL w RPA. Aby osiągnąć ten cel, w badaniu wykorzystano metodę ilościową z samodzielnym kwestionariuszem. Pozycje zawarte w kwestionariuszu uzyskano z wcześniej opracowanych i zwalidowanych skal z literatury. Kwestionariusz został rozesłany do 450 respondentów. Konfirmacyjna analiza czynnikowa do modelowania równań strukturalnych (SEM) została wykorzystana do walidacji i modelowania roli osobowości marki wpływającej na identyfikację zespołu wśród zespołów PSL w RPA. W badaniu przetestowano trzy zmienne, które potencjalnie mogą wpływać na identyfikację zespołu wśród zespołów PSL. Wyniki badania wykazały, że tylko (2) dwie zmienne, a mianowicie Powodzenie i Szczerość, były statystycznie istotne, a zatem wpływają na identyfikację zespołu wśród zespołów PSL. Sugeruje to, że studenci z pokolenia Y mają wiedzę o zespołach PSL w RPA. W związku z tym kierownictwo zespołów PSL musi uwzględniać niezgodność osobowości marki z tą kohortą w swoich działaniach marketingowych, aby utrzymać obecnych i przyciągnąć nowych fanów z kohorty Pokolenia Y. Firmy planujące oferować sponsorowanie drużynom PSL powinny zwrócić szczególną uwagę na te dwie zmienne, jeśli pasują one do osobowości marki ich firm, ponieważ odgrywają one istotną rolę w strategiach marketingowych.

Opis:
Rivers have always been in great importance in the process of arising and developing the human civilisation. Many ancient cultures were very powerful because of the huge rivers systems. Such civilizations as Egypt, Mesopotamia, India and China came into being in the grand rivers valleys (Nil, Tiger, Euphrates, Indus, Ganges, Yangtze and Huang He). Nowadays those rivers also play the vital role because of the fact that of its state and affluence mainly depends the economic stability and in that connection depends also the politic stability in the countries that those rivers flow through. Those dependences and connections between people and rivers were best characterised by the Greek historian Herodotus in his saying "Egypt is a gift from the Nile". Contemporary domestic and international rules of using the rivers resources are regulated by the law rules. The international law rules mainly deal with law classification and the division of the international rivers, water transport on those rivers and the methods of making out the rivers boundaries. Determining the international law rules, effectively regulating the exploitation of the international rivers, face many obstacles. The reason of this situation are differences in exploiting the rivers resources in particular States, which depends on many aspects (economic, geographical, cultural, etc.). The very best example of the complexity of the international rivers systems matter is the Nile river. Present-da y, for the Nile's drainage basin states, establishing the new international law regulations and the arrangements concluding the rational exploitation and division of the rivers resources is the main problem. In the light of the II article of the 1966 Helsinki Rules on the Uses of the Waters of International Rivers, an international drainage basin is a geographical area extending over two or more States determined by the watershed limits of the system of waters, including surface and underground waters, flowing into a common terminus. According to this criterion, ten States count among drainage basin of the Nile river (those States are as follows: Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Burundi, Ruanda, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Those States are now developing and theirs weak national economies are based on agriculture. The Nile as one of the biggest and most resourceful river on the world, is a great opportunity for those countries to develop. Unfortunately, present international legal system does not allow to exploit the Nile’s water resources in optimal and fair way, because this system does not embrace most of the States of the drainage basin. Such situation cause conflicts and tensions in relations between those States.

Author of this article expresses belife that education is an essential tool for addressing most of the socio-economic challenges. Therefore, increasing access to education for children with disabilities can open up a whole lot of new and diverse opportunities for them. Base on datas the author certifyed, that most children with disabilities in African countries do not have access to good quality education. Consequently, they are less likely to get employed and are at increased odds of living in severe poverty. Traditionally, children with disabilities have been served in special education classes. However, not all schools in African countries have special education classes or facilities. According to the latest census data from across 11 African countries many children with disabilities are never enrolled into schools. This chapter summarizes the current state of affairs regarding the educational outcomes of children with disabilities, the challenges associated with adoption of inclusive education in African schools and proposes an inclusive education framework to facilitate its implantation and to guide schools in assessing their inclusive education efforts.
