Abstract:
The study contrasts and compares the effect of the observation of dynamic and static assessment approaches on teachers’ perceptions in the changing context of the South African Education system. The study was implemented in two schools on the Cape Flats, in Cape Town, South Africa. The Cape Flats is a historically disadvantaged area of Cape Town. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the teachers in the experimental group, who observed a dynamic assessment, developed a more optimistic stance towards the learners than the teachers in the comparison group, who observed the static assessment battery. The teachers in the experimental group responded positively towards the mediational teaching style and process related aspects of the dynamic assessment procedure, whereas in the comparison group the teachers concerns about their learners were reinforced as a result of their low performance on the static test battery. The outcome of the study provides support for the use of dynamic assessment approaches within the South African context and reinforces the limitations and possible dangers of the use of static testing approaches with learners with low academic results.

Abstract:
Abstract The Malmesbury Group has often been overlooked as a useable source of groundwater. This is due to its previously generalised low yields and relatively higher salinities of groundwater found in these weathered to fresh sedimentary and metasedimentary rocks. However, during a period of severe drought in the Western Cape of South Africa from 2016 to 2018, the Malmesbury Group was investigated for groundwater more intensively, mainly out of necessity by those who had little other choice geologically. This study presents two case studies from distinctly different geological and hydrogeological zones within the Malmesbury Group. A selection of 57 boreholes that have been drilled into the Malmesbury Group were used for this study. Of these, 30 boreholes are in close proximity to Paarl while the remaining 27 boreholes are located in the Cape Flats. Although these areas are noticeably different, both sites revealed that the Malmesbury Group could serve as a host to a high yielding aquifer, under certain geological conditions. Borehole yields of up to 9 l/s and 21 l/s were recorded at the Cape Flats and Paarl sites respectively. However in all cases the high yields were due to high yielding fractures in the bedrock, rather than the inherent bedrock properties. At the Paarl site, a correlation is seen between aquifer parameters and their proximity to an inferred extension of the Wellington – Piketberg Fault and Shear Zone from published geological maps. Boreholes in both the Cape Flats and Paarl sites that did not intersect these fractures were found to have similar bedrock yields to previous Malmesbury Group generalisations (<0.5 l/s).

Abstract:
Thesis (MSc (Conservation Ecology and Entomology))--University of Stellenbosc, 2005.
Biodiversity is under enormous pressure from an increasing human population. Urbanisation, agriculture, and mining are just some of the factors responsible for the continuous degradation of the natural environment. Of these, urbanisation is one of the leading factors of diversity loss. To address this problem, it is necessary to understand the relationship between biodiversity and urban areas, as well as the relationship between society and biodiversity. This study focuses on these relationships and suggest ways in which urban biodiversity can be maximised without compromising on development. In order to create an urban environment that successfully supports maximised biodiversity, new methods and ideas must be developed to promote the protection of urban ecosystems. The Cape Floristic Region in South Africa is a good example of an area that requires immediate action in order to prevent enormous losses in biodiversity. Data have shown drastic decreases in natural vegetation cover in this area, and with its close to 9000 species, of which approximately 60% occurs nowhere else in the world. This state of affairs should be regarded as a serious crisis. This study consists of three main parts, the first being a literature review on the current relationships between the urban environment, society, and biodiversity. The second and third parts report on two empirical investigations on the campus of the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Stellenbosch in the City of Cape Town. The first of these investigates the possibility of using spirituality connected to nature as a promotional tool for conservation through rehabilitation or restoration of damaged urban vegetation habitats. For this purpose students’ and staff members’ opinions of the urban nature at the campus were tested. In the second investigation the options of restoring biodiversity to the campus was considered by exploring the best options available for rehabilitation while taking the current biodiversity status on and around the premises into account. This was carried out through three smaller projects that included the physical reintroduction of plant species, vegetation analysis, and bird identification and attraction. The response of employees and students at the Faculty of Health Sciences was found to be in favour of restoring vegetation and animal life to the campus. This is supported by a belief that their attitude towards their work would improve with improved natural surroundings. Initial rehabilitation attempts highlighted the complexity of rehabilitation practices by bringing forward challenges and problems experienced with the reintroduction of plant species. Despite these problems, increased plant diversity in experimental areas showed the possibility of successfully completing the project. Biodiversity analysis showed that methods of controlling vegetation used by the university are doing more harm than good, as it results in indigenous vegetation being displaced by exotic vegetation. This study introduces a number of questions regarding the relationship between urbanisation and biodiversity and to what extent the two should be linked. Hopefully it is a step in the direction towards marrying the urban and natural environment, and to create a sustainable urban environment where society no longer sees nature as something outside the city boundaries.

Abstract:
The people living on the Cape Flats in the Western Cape have been practicing dental modification for a number of years. A systematic survey of eight adjoining areas in the Northern suburbs was done to investigate the prevalence, motivation and possible historical time depth of this practice. The survey was conducted by means of a questionnaire. A total of 2167 individuals participated in this study of which 41 % had modified their teeth. More males (44.8%) than females (37.9%) were involved in this practice. Residential area and pay class had an impact on dental modification practices as the incidence increased within lower income areas. Six styles of modification were identified, of these; the removal of the upper four incisors (style 400) was often the style of choice (93. 7%). There were four stated reasons (peer pressure, fashion, gangsterism and medical/other) for dental modification of which peer pressure (in males) and fashion (in females) were the most popular. Dentists did most of the extractions. Three quarters of the entire study sample had family members with dental modifications. More than half (69.8%) of individuals with modifications wore dentures. Not only coloured people were modifying their teeth, some study subjects who had self-classified themselves as black or white also practiced it.

This study aimed to ascertain in what ways violence and crime influence the teaching and learning programme in schools in a disadvantaged community. The context is a primary school in an informal settlement in Samora Machel, Philippi, in the Cape Flats, where violence is endemic. The study shows that violence does not occur in school playgrounds and areas around the school only; classrooms are becoming common sites for violence. This study sought to establish teacher and learner experiences of violence at school, and the role of school management and parents in dealing with it, with a specific focus on school policies on discipline and how violence affects teaching and learning. The investigation also included learner behaviour during recess.

Abstract:
The explosive expansion of Typha capensis into the wetlands of the Cape Flats has resulted in decreased species diversity and habitat value. Several initiatives to control this expansion have had varied success and management of wetlands dominated by T. capensis remains a challenge. For effective rehabilitation, one needs to understand what the problem is and its origin before any action can be taken. This study aims to determine whether there are any factors that limit the expansion of T. capensis that may be used in rehabilitation efforts, with the hypothesis being that the distribution of T. capensis is determined primarily by hydrology, salinity and nutrients such that wetlands with T. capensis or specific T. capensis stands will have stable hydrological regimes, moist soils, low salinities and high nutrients. Six wetlands in Rondevlei with varying dominance of T. capensis, ranging from not having any to being dominated by the plant, were examined. Wetlands were classified into types depending on their dominance of T. capensis, with Typha dominant, Mixed and No Typha wetland types. In each wetland soil cores were taken to represent the main vegetation types, focusing on T. capensis, Ficinia nodosa and Isolepis rubicunda. These three species comprise the dominant species of the three vegetation types that were measured, with T. capensis forming its own group and then rush-like and mat-like vegetation types respectively. Environmental variables like hydrology were observed by field visits at the end of summer and in winter/spring, and the soils were analyzed in the laboratory for salinity, pH and nutrients.

For the purpose of this study, two criteria were utilised to identify a person as being unemployed: someone who is part of the economically active population by virtue of his or her age; but does not fully participate in the formal economic sector. It could be argued that such a definition of unemployment is far too broad, and would include the entire informal economy. But, firstly, this is a psychological study, and so it could be argued that a recognition criterion is appropriate. That is, psychologically speaking, if an individual perceives him or herself to be unemployed, but does not meet all the economic criteria to be defined as such, the case merits exploration, since his or her self-identification with the unemployed could lead to the same psychological response as that of the economically defined unemployed person. Consequently, more economically precise definitions, though informative, are not vital for this study. Secondly, as will be explained later, this study is exploratory in nature, examining the coping patterns of the unemployed. A broader definition would provide a larger research domain which could then include more unusual experiences of unemployment. These unusual cases may provide insights into how less effective copers could learn to cope more effectively with unemployment. This is the rationale for including some individuals who are involved in the informal economy. Someone employed on a regular, virtually full-time basis in the informal economy is more employed than unemployed and it would be difficult to justify his or her inclusion in an unemployed sample. On the other hand, those individuals who are active in the informal economy on an irregular, part-time basis, or on a small scale, and use this activity as a means of trying to cope with unemployment, could be included in such a sample. On the basis of regularity of payment by "employer", number of hours worked per day, and number of days worked per week, cut-off points were established to determine who in the informal economy would be included in this study. A series of questions were asked at the start of an interview, to establish that a prospective interviewee met certain criteria before being included in the sample.

Seven decades ago, the pre-eminent limnologist, Miss Edith Stephens described the Cape Flats as "a paradise for the aquatic biologist". At that time the area was characterised by numerous temporary or seasonal wetlands that filled and dried in concert with the seasons. Since Miss Stephen's observations, the number of seasonal wetlands on the Cape Flats has dwindled alarmingly and very few remain. This dissertation attempts to account for this and provide guidance for the management of the remaining seasonal wetlands. The dissertation shows how development (characterised by the urban and agricultural land-use) has radically altered the nature of seasonal wetlands and that Typha capensis can be used as an indicator of the ecological value or integrity of these wetlands. Two case studies have been selected to test this premise. The various interrelationships between vegetation, hydrology, nutrients, land-use and ecological value are explored and the proliferation of wetland communities of Typha capensis is shown to be an indicator of negative impacts on seasonal wetlands. The literature review indicates that the proliferation of Typha capensis signifies a decline in habitat diversity and biodiversity (species richness). Typha capensis has been shown to be influenced by streamflow and nutrient input (the plant thrives in shallow areas, permanently inundated with nutrient-rich waters). Therefore, changes to the total area occupied by Typha capensis can be used to illustrate how development has affected the hydrology, habitat diversity, biodiversity and ecological value of seasonal wetlands. The primary source of information was aerial photography, of varying scales, dated from the early 1940s to 2000 and acquired from the Department of Land Affairs: Land Surveys and Mapping. Identifying, mapping and interpreting land-use changes and changes to Typha capensis formed the basis of the research. Water chemistry information, obtained from the Scientific Services Department of the City of Cape Town, and an extensive literature review supplemented the photographic information. Zeekoevlei / Rondevlei wetland and the Khayelitsha wetlands are used as case studies. Together they have been affected by a significant range of impacts generated by different manifestations of development including Wastewater Treatment Works, high-income residential areas, catchment hardening, manipulation of drainage patterns, informal settlement, informal grazing, agricultural runoff and horticultural market gardens. The pattern of land-use change within the selected wetlands' catchments (Lotus River catchment and Kuils River catchment), the impacts of the observed land-use changes, and the impacts to Zeekoevlei / Rondevlei and the Khayelitsha wetlands with respect to seasonality, Typha capensis and ecological value are presented and discussed in detail. In general, urban areas have increased over time to dominate the two catchments. Agricultural areas were consolidated into a few areas while the areas of open space diminished rapidly. Surface and stormwater runoff from "hardened" catchments, irrigation of farmland, and treated effluent from Wastewater Treatment Works all drastically increased, In addition, the concomitant influx of nutrients (nitrates, nitrites and phosphorus) polluted the rivers and wetlands, making them eutrophic and promoting the proliferation of large stands of Typha capensis. The impact of these changes was the loss of seasonality, habitat diversity and biodiversity. Specific recommendations are made for the long term management of Zeekoevlei, Rondevlei and the Khayelitsha wetlands. The proposed management strategy is based on selected management objectives i.e. what is the wetland being managed for? It might not be possible to fully rehabilitate them to a pristine state but management as recreational areas, conservation areas and even educational areas is possible. Key points of the recommended management plans include: * maintaining the winter drawdowns at Zeekoevlei / Rondevlei; * implementation of a dredging and Typha clearing programme; * strategically placed reed beds to purify inflow; * a fire programme for the Khayelitsha wetlands; and * instating an environmental awareness course at the Khayelitsha wetlands. The importance of an Integrated Catchment Management Plan is emphasised. Catchments should be managed as a whole, recognising the relationships between planning, land-use and water resources.

Abstract:

The analysis of geologic, hydrologic and hydrogeologic data interpreted to give the characteristics of the Cape Flats aquifer showed the quality of groundwater from the aquifer is suitable for development as a water resource. The conceptual model of the Cape Flats sand shows an unconfined sandy aquifer, grading into semi-confined conditions in some places where thick lenses of clay and peat exists. Recharge rates through the saturated zone of the Cape Flats aquifer have been determined by water table fluctuation (WTF), rainfall-recharge relationship, soil water balance and chloride mass balance methods (CMB). Recharge rates using the WTF vary considerably between wet and dry years and between locations, with a range of 17.3% to 47.5%. Values obtained from empirical rainfall-recharge equation (method 2) agree with those of the WTF. Recharge estimates from the water balance model are comparatively lower but are within the range calculated using empirical method 2 (i.e. 87 &ndash
194 mm or 4 &ndash
21% of MAP). These recharge rates also agree with estimates from the series of other methods applied to sites located in the north-western coast of Western Cape and are comparable to recharge rates obtained elsewhere in the world.

Over time, the lack of coherent thought concerning the potential roles of urban open spaces has resulted in the necessity of urban management to become vigilant with regard to the collective aspects of city life. Urban open spaces are especially significant in this regard. In giving attention to the scale, continuity, distribution and status of public open space in Cape Town and indeed, in all South African urban centres, developing the role of public spaces in the lives of the urban poor is especially crucial. This study examines the concept of the ability of multifunctional urban open space in playing the role of a socio-economic developmental tool. In this endeavour, two fundamental approaches are used. The first investigates the significance of open space and examines the history of open space and park development. Cases of successful park developments are presented so as to identify central conceptual ideas and certain key success factors. The second uses a local park proposal, the Cape Flats Urban Park, as an instrument with which to explore the concept. This involves integrating the notions of natural process needs and human needs so as to inform use. Accordingly, a natural systems analysis discovers the particular ecological needs of the area through factors of opportunity and constraint and a potential park user analysis discovers the characteristics and needs of human users, in order to discern what role the urban park could play in enabling socio-economic development and improving quality of life. Consequently, resultant guidelines for planning successful multifunctional open spaces are summarised, and further considerations and guiding principles for multifunctional open space planning are presented. These insights are applied and determine broad distributional tendencies, which may assist towards the creation of a successful plan for the Cape Flats Urban Park and other open spaces. The procedure in which these investigations were followed through was primarily through an extensive literature survey, supplemented by personal observation, map surveys and informal interviews. The findings of this study endorse the proposal for a multifunctional Cape Flats Urban Park, as this park could play conservation, resource preservation, flood control, productive, economic, ceremonial, cultural, educational, health improving, recreational and community-building roles. As such, urban open spaces have the potential to become multifaceted resources, with both intangible and tangible benefits for nature and for people, all of which can improve the quality of life for city dwellers, by improving the quality of the environment in which they live.

Abstract:
Fish cage system is influenced by various external forces from the ocean environments, and the movements and the deformation of the cage by these external forces affect the safety of the cage itself, as well as that of the cultured organisms. In this research, submersible fish cage was designed to endure less physical stress by harsh sea conditions, and to keep the organisms in safer life by reducing the stress through exposure and movement. The submersible cage system consists of netting, mooring ropes, floating collar, floats, sinkers and anchors. Mass-spring model was used to predict the dynamic response of the cage subjected to tidal currents and waves. Computer simulation was performed for fish cage at the surface and submerged positions to investigate the dynamics of the motion and to calculate mooring line tensions. As expected, the average tension value of the mooring line for the submerged cage were less, being 64% of what we got in the case of surface position under the current velocity of 0.5 m/s combined with the waves. As the waves was used in combination with the current velocity of 1.0 m/s, the average tensile load for the submerged cage showed 85% of the value for the floating cage. The simulation results provide an improved understanding of the dynamic behaviors of the structure and their capability to withstand in subject to sever environmental loadings, and also valuable information on the optimized design of the cage system exposed to the open ocean environmental factors.

Abstract:
The inspection of polished metal contoured surfaces, such as silverware pieces, is much more difficult than for a flat surface, considering the complex curved surface, reflections, and shadows. It is hard to detect flaws when they overlap with shadows and specular reflections, which is typically the case. In this paper, this problem is solved using image registration and image fusion techniques. A continuous-inspection system is developed to take two images sequentially under different lighting conditions when the object is passing under the camera. Shadows and reflections shift, while the flaws do not. From the differences of these two images, flaws can be distinguished from shadows and reflections, and the lost information due to specular reflections can be made up. Fused images without specular reflections were obtained, and a new feature based image registration algorithm is developed to compare these two fused images to detect the surface flaws.

Abstract:
A wide variety of submergible cages has been developed mainly for aquaculture in an exposed sea. However, a submergible cage generally positions only at the surface or certain depth. The vertical position of the cage cannot be controlled. Hence, a fish cage installed at various depths (hereafter called controllable depth cage; CDC) is one of the promising cages to cope with environmental variations such as algal blooming, hypoxic water, high waves, etc. CDC consists of a cage, floats and anchors, which are connected by ropes in this order. The vertical position of the cage is controllable by adjusting the buoyancy of floats. In the present study, the effects of waves on motion of CDC were tested in smaller and larger water tanks. A cage model with the scale ratio of 1/100 was made and installed with its mooring system. From the video image of this experiment, the motion of the cage was reduced when the position of the cage was deeper in the same wave condition. The model with the scale ratio of 1/25 was made and installed with the mooring system. The motion of CDC and the tension on the mooring ropes were measured by a motion capture system and load cells, respectively. The range of motion and the tension on the mooring ropes of CDC increased with increasing wave height. When the wave length was around the two times of the size of CDC, the tension of the mooring ropes increased. Under the same wave condition, the displacement and the inclination of the cage, and the tension of the mooring ropes decreased by about half when the cage was installed at 0.6 m below the water surface. However, the effects of wave height and wave period on the motion of CDC and the tension of the mooring ropes could not be analyzed enough, so further analysis will be required in the future.

Abstract:
A fish cage should be submerged to reduce hydrodynamic forces from high waves if the fish cage is installed in an exposed sea area. Usually, the submergible fish cage is suspended from the framework at a fixed depth. The framework is set by floats and anchors at the middle position between water surface and the top surface of the submergible fish cage. The submergible fish cage will be used not only for reduction of hydrodynamic forces but for the other purposes such as choosing the best environment for cultured fishes in the vertical direction, and escaping from the flood with high-level nitrogen or turbidity, harmful algal blooming, and floating ices. In such cases, it is useful for the fish cage to be installed in variable depths. The purpose of the present study is to examine the safety of the fish cage installed in variable depths in current and waves by means of tank model testing. The mooring system consists of a fish cage and four floats. The vertical position of the fish cage is variable by adjusting the buoyancy of these floats. First, the drag of the fish cage was examined by towing test, and the results were compared with the drag estimated by the existing studies. The effects of interaction among twines, the angle of attack, wake, and the top and bottom nets were discussed. Then the fish cage was moored in the water tank, which has the length of 50 m and the width of 10 m. The tank model has a scale of 1/100 of the full-scale model of the fish cage used for tuna farming. The model was made according to Tauti’s similarity law. The water depth was set at 0.68 m by adjusting the position of the variable floor. The motion of the fish cage and four floats, and the tension of the mooring lines between the fish cage, floats, and anchors were measured by the underwater video camera and load cells, respectively. As a result, the drag of the fish cage could be estimated from the experimental results of the drag of a plane net since the results include the effect of interaction among twines. The effects of the angle of attack and the reduction in water current velocity inside the cage were also taken into account. The drag of the fish cage could be estimated well by the above method, while it was underestimated by 10% in comparison with the experimental data. In the water tank testing of the mooring system, the tension of the mooring line increased rapidly with the increase in water current velocity since the drag of the fish cage was proportional to the 1.8th power of water current velocity and increased due to the inclination of the fish cage. The increase in the tension due to wave-induced forces to the fish cage could be negligible when the fish cage was submerged. The safety and the design guideline of the mooring system should be assessed by the simulations using a numerical model, which is being developed by the authors. The experimental data obtained in the present study will be useful for the validation of the numerical model.
