>Magister Scientiae - MScThe Saldania Belt in southern Africa, a product of the Pan-African Saldanian Orogeny, forms part of a system of Neoproterozoic mobile belts that border and weld older cratons on the African continent. It is a low-grade orogenic belt situated along the southwestern margin of the Kalahari Craton and is composed of several inliers of greenschist facies metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks (Malmesbury Group), unroofed in megaanticlinal hinges of the Permo-Triassic Cape Fold Belt. The Malmesbury Group rocks were syn- and post-tectonically intruded in a pervasive transpressive regime between 555 Ma and 515 Ma by Neoproterozoic to early Cambrian S-, I- and A-type granites, monzodiorites, gabbros and quartz syenites, which collectively constitute the rocks of the Cape Granite Suite (CGS). Along the south-western coastline of South Africa, the Saldanha Bay Volcanic Complex (which forms part of the CGS) is divided into two eruption centres both of which have been identified as “intra-caldera pyroclastic ignimbrites”. The Postberg eruption centre is situated to the south of the Saldanha Bay entrance and the Saldanha eruption centre is situated to the north of the entrance. Both eruption centres display distinct geochemical signatures, the most apparent being the greater TiO2 concentrations (> 0.25 wt. %) of the Saldanha centre ignimbrites when compared to its Postberg centre counterparts. The Postberg eruption centre consists of S-type rhyolitic ignimbrites which are subdivided into the two geochemically distinct Plankiesbaai and Tsaarsbank Ignimbrites. Small amounts of the Jacobs Bay and Saldanha Ignimbrites (less felsic tephra from the Saldanha eruption centre) are also present in the Postberg eruption centre. A robust geochemical analysis of both the Plankiesbaai and Tsaarsbank magma groups display high SiO2 content (>76 wt. %), a lack of variation in TiO2 and Zr, high Al2O3 and ASI (aluminium saturation index) values (> 1.0 and generally >1.1 which, on average, is higher than the Saldanha eruption centre ignimbrites), low CaO and Na2O, and a highly ferroan character. The Plankiesbaai ignimbrite also display lower #Mg concentration compared to the Tsaarsbank ignimbrite. Typical geochemical trends in the Postberg eruption centre include the lack of variation in Zr content, higher Rb content and lower Sr, Ba, V and Zn concentrations when compared to the tephra of the Saldanha eruption centre found in the Postberg area.

Thesis (MS en S)--Stellenbosch University, 2001.ENGLISH ABSTRACT:The study focus on the Greater Saldanha and environment by evaluating the socio-economic impact of the Saldanha Steel project on the area. Major development projects, like the SSP, can create significant impact on the socioeconomic features within the region of influence. This impact affects the provision of public services (education, health services, police protection), social services (housing, transport, urban land use) as well as the fiscal features of the region. Following the National elections in 1994, the new government implemented the Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP) to address social and economic problems in specific regions. The RDP was followed by the Growth, Employment and Redistribution (GEAR) strategy. Spatial Development Initiatives (SDI's), form part of the GEAR strategy and aims to address regional differences and promote sustainable long term development, economic growth and employment in the region. The West coast Investment Initiative (Well) is one of the eight SDI's that were identified. The Saldanha Steel project (SSP) is the focus project of the WCII. The initiative is a mixed industrial and agrotourism SDI. Great expectations were formed with respect to the number of employment opportunities that would be provided by the SSP, as well as the economic progress and development within the region. This study project evaluates the socio-economic impact of the SSP by focussing on the demographic aspects, social infrastructure and services, employment and income, housing and development, infrastructure provision as well as the SSP's involvement within the communities of Greater Saldanha and environment.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die studie fokus op Groter Saldanha en omgewing deur die sosio-ekonomiese impak van die Saldanha Staal projek (SSP) op die gebied te evalueer. Groot ontwikkelingsprojekte, soos die SSP, kan 'n groot impak maak op die sosio-ekonomiese kenmerke binne die streek of area van invloed. Die impak word veral ervaar in die verskaffing van publieke dienste (opvoeding, gesondheisdienste, polisie), sosiale dienste (behuising, vervoer, stedelike grondgebruik) sowel as die fiskale karaktertrekke van die streek. Na die Nasionale verkiesing in 1994, het die nuwe regering die Heropbou en Ontwikkelingsprogram (HOP) geimplementeer om sosiale en ekonomiese probleme aan te spreek. Die HOP is in 1996 gevolg deur die "Growth, Employment and Redistribution (GEAR) strategie. As deel van die GEAR strategie, is Ruimtelike ontwikkelingsinisiatiewe deur die Nasionale Regering ingestel om streeksongelykhede aan te spreek en volhoubare lang termyn ontwikkeling, ekonomiese groei en werksgeleenthede te verseker vir die streek. Ag ruimtelike ontwikkelingsinisiatiewe (ROI) is ingestel, waarvan die Weskus Beleggingsinisiatief een is. Die Saldanha Staal projek (SSP) is die fokusprojek van die Weskus Beleggingsinisiatief. Die inisiatief is geidentifiseer as 'n gemengde industrieële en landboutoerisme ROI. Groot verwagtinge is geskep ten opsigte van die hoeveelheid werksgeleenthede wat geskep sal word deur die SSP, sowel as ekonomiese vooruitgang en ontwikkeling binne die streek. Die werkstuk evalueer die sosio-ekonomiese impak van die SSP deur te fokus op demografiese aspekte, sosiale infrastruktuur en dienste, indiensneming en inkome, behuising en ontwikkeling, infrastruktuurvoorsiening sowel as die SSP se betrokkenheid by die gemeenskappe van die Groter Saldanha en omgewing.

Bibliography: pages 64-67.Saldanha Bay is located lOOkm north of Cape Town, along the south western coast of South Africa, at a latitude of approximately 33° S. In 1975 major harbour works, including the construction of an iron ore jetty, divided Saldanha Bay into two distinct bays. The bay to the north of the jetty has become known as Small Bay, while the bay to the south is commonly referred to as Big Bay. Big Bay is connected at its southern end to the shallow Langebaan Lagoon system, and to the west with the Benguela upwelling system (see figure 1.1). The oceanography of the shelf outside the bay is dominated by the coastal upwelling system (Shannon 1985). The equatorward winds which predominate for much of the year, drive an offshore flux of surface water, which is replaced near the coast by nutrient-rich water from deeper layers. These winds are the result of an interplay between the South Atlantic High Pressure Cell, a thermal low that forms over southern Africa in summer, coastal lows, and eastward moving extra tropical cyclones (Shannon 1985). In summer, the band of extra tropical cyclones associated with the jetstream moves to the south of its winter position, while the South Atlantic High intensifies and moves approximately 6° to the south (Preston-Whyte and Tyson 1988), creating a pressure gradient over the Benguela region. The presence of the thermal low over the adjacent subcontinent increases the existing pressure gradient, and enhances the equatorward air flow. This seasonal modulation of upwelling favourable winds results in an upwelling season that extends from about September to March (Shannon 1985). During this period, there is also synoptic modulation, provided by wind relaxation or reversal events. These events are either associated with the passage of a cyclone to the south of the continent, or with a coastal low passing along the coast (Shannon 1985).

Bibliography: leaves 50-52.This paper examines whether the Saldanha Steel Project has made a significant impact on firms in the Saldanha/Vredenburg/Langebaan area. The building of the steel plant is the anchor project of a government regional policy initiative called the West Coast Investment initiative. The paper's examination begins with a theoretical overview of regional industrial policy in general and Spatial Development Initiatives (SDI) in particular. It then contextualises the West Coast as a region earmarked as a SDI and describes the Iscor and Industrial Development Corporation's joint venture -- Saldanha Steel Project (SSP). A questionnaire survey sought to establish the impact that the Saldanha Steel Project was having on firm's activity and economic prospects in the West Coast Area. International experience as well as South Africa's previous experience points to key aspects of successful interventions in the space economy. Firstly, governments have to select areas and projects carefully. Projects chosen should reflect the market demand. Secondly, long term success will require that key or anchor projects not only succeed themselves, but that side-effects from anchor projects help promote the region's economic capacity, co-operation between economic players and the ability of the region to attract further investment. With this in mind, the process of constructing the steel plant and the SSP's procurement policy should seek to maximize the benefits to local firms. A questionnaire survey of local firms involved with the Saldanha Steel Project was the means by which information was collected. The responses of local firms dealt with business prospects in the area, experiences with the Saldanha Steel Project in the construction phase and the impact the project had on firms. The paper concludes that the Saldanha Steel Project did have some positive side effects for the local business community. Firms have adapted to become more competitive, learned how to deal with large industrial projects and the region has expanded the range of goods and services it is capable of delivering. The SSP's procurement policy supporting local firms had gone some way to improving local business' capacity. The paper identifies certain characteristics which make certain firms successful under the given circumstances, addresses problems local firms faced dealing with a large scale capital project and suggests measures to best help promote the prospects of local firms in future.

Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: South Africa presently faces a serious and much-acknowledged energy capacity deficit. The Department of Energy are determined to address this capacity crisis by creating several new power plants between 2010 and 2030, as stipulated in the “Integrated Resource Plan 2010”. A Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) power plant is proposed to add 2370 MW of capacity to the national grid. The “new-build” CCGT plant will use natural gas as a feedstock for energy generation. The plant is destined to begin energy generation by 2019, and will ramp up to full capacity by 2030. Following a review of the existing natural gas sources and the nascent gas network in South Africa, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has been identified as the most suitable immediate source of natural gas feedstock for the CCGT. LNG fuel must be imported into South Africa aboard large, special purpose LNG Carrier (LNGC) vessels. LNGC vessels require a designated marine import terminal in order to offload the super-cooled and potentially flammable cargo. Saldanha Bay, located on the South West coast of South Africa, has been selected by Transnet as a preferred location for LNG terminal development. A review of LNG technology reveals the need for mandatory onshore LNG storage and regasification facilities, land area requirements, demands of different LNGC types and the characteristics of dedicated LNG jetties and terminals. Floating, offshore and traditional LNG terminals are discussed. The objective of this thesis is to review potential terminal sites and conceptual layouts in Saldanha Bay, and via a Multi Criteria Analysis, to present three distinct LNG terminal layout options for further consideration. The conceptual layouts will address technical concerns such as berth orientation and layout, safe navigational access to the terminal, mandatory onshore infrastructure and optimisation of berth operations. Saldanha Bay as a port location is studied and the importance of local environmental features is highlighted. Potential terminal development sites are identified following a review of nautical and terrestrial restrictions. Four conceptual site layouts are proposed, providing jetty locations and orientations in the Bay. The sites are located in North Bay, Hoedjiespunt, and two in Big Bay. Several Key Design Parameters (KDP’s) are identified as having a critical bearing on the ultimate layout, operation and feasibility of an LNG terminal in Saldanha Bay. The sensitivity and influence of the KDP’s at each of the four conceptual sites is investigated. Analysis of KDP effects leads to the development of design variation options at the sites. Twelve terminal layout schemes are ultimately derived. A Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA) is performed to rank the 12 terminal layout schemes in terms of technical efficacy. A sensitivity study is conducted to justify the selection of MCA parameter weights. The three top-scoring schemes are recommended for more detailed pre-feasibility investigation. The three terminal layout schemes, located in Big Bay and Hoedjiespunt, make use of both standard trestle jetties and floating LNG technologies. The thesis has shown that a number of viable sites and layouts for LNG terminals exist in Saldanha Bay and demonstrates a systematic analysis of design issues leading to preferred options. The thesis concludes by outlining the next steps in the process towards a final terminal scheme selection.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Suid-Afrika ervaar huidig ‘n drastiese energie kapasiteit verlies. Die Departement van Energie is vasbeslote om die energie krisis aan te spreek deur verskeie nuwe kragstasies tussen 2010 en 2030 op te rig, soos beskryf in die “Integrated Resource Plan 2010”. ‘n Gekombineerde Siklus Gas Turbine (GSGT) kragstasie is voorgestel om ‘n verdere 2370 MW by te voeg tot die nasionale krag netwerk. Die “nuut-geboude” GSGT kragstasie sal natuurlike gas as brandstof vir kragopwekking gebruik. Die kragstasie is beplan om teen 2019 krag op te wek, en sal teen 2030 volle kapasiteit loop. Na ‘n ondersoek van die bestaande natuurlike gas bronne en gas netwerke in Suid Afrika, is Vloeibare Natuurlike Gas (VNG) geïdentifiseer as die huidiglike beskikbare bron van brandstof vir die GSGT. VNG moet ingevoer word aanboord spesiaal geboude VNG vaartuie. VNG vaartuie benodig ‘n spesifieke mariene invoer terminaal om die vlambare vloeistof mee af te laai. Saldanhabaai, aan die Suid-Westerlike kus van Suid Afrika, is as verkose area vir die VNG terminaal ontwikkeling geïdentifiseer deur Transnet. ‘n Oorsig van VNG tegnologie bevind dat VNG stoorplek en vergassings fasiliteite, land area, verskeie VNG vaartuie en karakteristieke van VNG terminale benodig word. Verskeie VNG terminale word bespreek in hierdie studie. The doel van hierdie tesis is om die potensiële terminaal bou-terrein en konseptuele ontwerpe in Saldanhabaai, deur middel van ‘n multi-kriteria analise (MKA), in drie verskillende ontwerp moontlikhede voor te stel. Saldanhabaai, as hawe, is bestudeer en belangrike omgewings aspekte is geïdentifiseer. Potensiële terminaal bou-terrein is geïdentifiseer na aanleiding van seevaart en land beperkings. Vier konseptuele bou-terreine is voorgestel wat jetty posisies en orientasies aandui. Die bou-terreine is in Noordbaai, Hoedjiespunt, en twee in Big Bay. Verskeie Sleutel Ontwerp Parameters (SOP’s), wat ‘n kritieke rol speel in die uiteindelike orientasie, werking en effektiwiteit van die VNG terminaal in Saldanhabaai, is geïdentifiseer. Die sensitiwiteit van die SOP’s by elk van die vier voorgestelde moontlikhede, is ondersoek. ‘n Ontleding van die effek van die SOP’s het variasie in die ontwerp moontlikhede by die verskillende bouterrein tot gevolg. Twaalf terminaal orientasie skemas is voorgestel. ‘n MKA is uitgevoer om ‘n ranglys van opsies te produseer in terme van tegniese effektiwiteit. Dit is voorgestel dat die top drie opsies verder ondersoek moet word. Die drie terminaal orientasie skemas, wat voorgestel word vir die Big Bay en Hoedjiespunt areas, maak gebruik van standaard jetties en drywende VNG tegnologie. Hierdie tesis bevind dat ‘n aantal uitvoerbare bouterreine en orientasies in Saldanhabaai moontlik is. ‘n Sistematiese analise van ontwerps kwessies wat na verkose opsies lei, word ook in die tesis ge-adresser. Die voorgestelde stappe in die besluitneming van ‘n finale terminaal skema vorm die slot van die tesis.

Bibliography: pages 91-95.Saldanha Bay, on the west coast of South Africa, is the only deep water port between Cape Town and Walvis Bay. It is separated into two smaller bays, Small Bay and Big Bay, by an iron-ore jetty built in 1975. With its sheltered environment it is an ideal site for the development of a mariculture industry, but a conflict of interest arises between the mussel farmers and the use of the iron-ore jetty and other sources of pollution. This thesis is a contribution to an effort to understand how the requirements of the mariculture industry in respect of food provision and clean water can be met. Seven field trips were made to Saldanha Bay with the aim of studying the circulation characteristics in the various regions of the bay. It was found that drogues were an effective method of measuring currents in Saldanha Bay, with the best method of drogue tracking being with the use of a Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS).

Thesis (MTech (Business Administration))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2008The merger of South African municipalities in the year 2000, and the dawn of the era of developmental local government, has confronted local authorities with a range of new challenges. In addition to the need to develop a new organisational culture and mutual trust, or the introduction of soft management actions, municipalities have to aetualise the concepts and processes of co-operative governance, integrated development planning, public participation and developmental local government. In addition, the White Paper on Local Government (WPLG, 1998) implores municipalities to lead and learn while they search for local solutions. An inability to learn and manage in a changed context and circumstances will inevitably lead to public displays of dissatisfaction, such as public demonstrations, that undermine municipalities' legitimacy. To overcome legitimacy dilemmas, municipalities need to strengthen their learning capabilities to enable them to operate effectively within changed circumstances and to become learning organisations. Such organisations, according to Senge (1990), have succeeded in formulating a shared vision, displayed a high level of personal mastery and team learning, as well as practising systems thinking. Together with these elements municipalities must identify and improve potentially constraining mental models. However, transforming any organisation into a learning organisation according to Dilworth (1996) requires a particular set of leadership qualities, such as commitment to the improvement of the quality of work life, democratic leadership and the promotion of human dignity. In this thesis, a learning organisation survey of the Saldanha Bay municipality's leadership cadre, consisting of Municipal Councillors, Executive Directors and Departmental Managers and Division Heads is undertaken with a view to determine whether these key functionaries practise the key learning disciplines of team leaming, shared vision, systems thinking, mental models and personal mastery. The results of this study indicated that the municipality in question has not yet succeeded in becoming a learning municipality. It has at best succeeded in laying a foundation for both councillors and officials to build on in order to achieve the desired result.

Full textAbstract:
Several accounts have been produced on the seaweeds of the west coast including the Saldanha and Langebaan System, but none has looked at how human activities may have affected the seaweed diversity of Saldanha Bay. The major human activities in the Bay include shipping and mariculture. The major human impacts resulting from these activities are species introductions which often lead to a change in species composition in an area. Six sites were sampled in various visits in autumn and winter 2012. Two of the sites were natural wave exposed rocky shore sites while the rest were sheltered and man-made. Detailed collections of seaweeds were made. The seaweeds were identified to species level and preserved either as herbarium specimen or in formalin. Specimens that it was not possible to identify using morphological features were preserved in silica gel for DNA analysis. Three samples of the red algal genus Gruteloupia, collected from aquaculture systems, which could not be identified using morphological features, were sent to Ghent University where the rbcL gene region was sequenced. Collected species were compared with species lists from previous studies in the same area. The results from this study showed that most of the species collected were west coast species, with a few species with south coast distributions. The numbers of species in the Bay since the study of Day showed an increase from 23 by Day to 58 by Simons' 1960 collection. His 1976 collection reduced to 47. The most species so far recorded are by Schils' 1997 collection with 72. From this study, 69 species were recorded of which 23 are potentially new records. Of these records, two were south coast species Gelidium reptans and Laurencia peninsularis. They were recorded for the first time in the system and they are range extensions. Furthermore, the results provide molecular evidence that two species of Grateloupia have been introduced into Saldanha Bay. Bayesian analysis showed that one of the species was Grateloupia turuturu, a Japanese species which has spread to a number of world regions which culture the Pacific oyster. The other was distinct from other Grateloupias previously recorded in South Africa, and did not match any species in Genbank. The potential vector of introduction for Grateloupia turuturu, importation of the Pacific oyster Crassostreo gigas, is discussed.

Tese de Mestrado em ArquitecturaA cidade tem no solo em que assenta o seu maior recurso. O edificado tem um ciclo de vida que motiva o surgimento de novos espaços de oportunidade, espaços intersticiais no limiar de propriedades e construções, que podem potenciar a reciclagem dessas áreas. Fazer face ao desenvolvimento da sociedade implica manter actualizada a estrutura física que a suporta, num contínuo processo de construir no construído que altera a sua forma e, consequentemente, o modo de comunicar significados e memórias. O valor atribuído à cidade (a estima com que esta é habitada) é uma questão fulcral nas intervenções actuais, pelo que se estudam as potencialidades de relação com a envolvente (patrimonial ou não) e a sua manutenção como vínculo de memória, reforçando significados, aproximando tempos e ideais de construção e conferindo um incremento valorativo à estima pública. O projecto desenvolve-se nos espaços intersticiais do antigo morgadio dos Saldanha, à Junqueira. A análise e compreensão histórica, formal e sociocultural permitiu identificar os elementos formais preponderantes na construção de imagens mentais e memórias daquele lugar. Estes foram analisados, reinterpretados à luz da contemporaneidade e utilizados para relacionar e reforçar tempos distintos de intervenção. A utilização dos espaços intersticiais como área útil da cidade consolidada permite a densificação do uso do solo em centros e bairros onde a escassez de solo edificável é um problema.
ABSTRACT - The city’s greatest resource is it’s ground. Buildings have a cycle of life that allows recycling that territory, constantly creating new opportunity spaces. Some of those are interstitial spaces in between properties and buildings. Concerning the development of society it’s required to adapt the urban physical structure; in a continuous process of building in built. This involves acting in preexisting sceneries, changing shapes and, therefore, their ways to communicate meanings and memories. The value assigned to the city (the esteem in which it is inhabited) is a key issue in today's interventions regarding potential relationships with the context (whether or not heritage) and its conservation as a bond of memory. Enhancing existing meanings by bringing together different times and ideals of building could be an approach in order to increase the public esteem. The project is developed in the interstitial spaces of the antique Saldanha’s property, in Rua da Junqueira. A local historical, formal and socio-cultural analysis identified the objectual entities responsible for creating mental images and memories of that place. These elements were then reinterpreted with a contemporary regard and used to link different times of construction. The effective use of the city’s interstitial spaces could be a strategy for urban densification in centers and neighborhoods lacking constructing land.

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: To date, the only volcanic rocks described from the Cape Granite Suite are ignimbrites that crop out along the western margin of Langebaan lagoon, to the south of Saldahna. These ignimbrites, with an age of 515 ± 3 Ma, represent the youngest rocks within the Suite. This study aims to investigate the petrogenesis of fine grained granitic rocks exposed to the north of Langebaan lagoon, as well as to reassess the classification of these rocks as a sub-volcanic quartz porphyritic intrusive. These rocks exhibit a dark grey to brown micro- to crypto-crystalline matrix containing prominent feldspar and quartz phenocrysts that are often embayed and broken. Phenocrysts of biotite and orthopyroxene (Fs50-70) can be identified microscopically, as can replacement of both phases by chlorite. Ilmenite commonly occurs in close association with the orthopyroxene phenocrysts. A second generation of poikiloblastic biotite overgrows the matrix and is clearly formed through sub-solidus reaction. The feldspar phenocrysts are commonly microcline microperthite. Contact exposures can be observed in the study area which indicates that the finer grained rock intruded older coarser grained granites. The predominance of broken phenocrysts as well as the presence of fiamme present in outcrop in rocks with a microcrystalline matrix is indicative of a volcanic origin, suggesting that these rocks be classified as ignimbrite as opposed to quartz porphyry. The foregoing observations and features could be interpreted to represent a welded ignimbrite deposit which is underlain by coarse grained granite. The finer grained ignimbrite would then represent a subsequent intrusion by a later pulse of similar magma along the contact with the coarser grained granite. The ignimbrites are silicic with SiO2 ranging between 69 and 76 wt. %; they are mildly peraluminous with values for ASI (ASI = mol. Al2O3/ (CaO+Na2O+K2O)) ranging from 1.02 to 1.09; and ASI is negatively correlated with Mg + Fe (hereafter maficity). Tight to very tight inter-element correlations exist for several major elements as well as trace elements when plotted against maficity. The following R² values apply: Al =0.94; Ca = 0.98; Si = 0.97; Ti = 1.00; Na =0.90; Zr =0.95; La = 0.87. These elements are all positively correlated with maficity, except for Si which is negatively correlated. Orthopyroxene and ilmenite represent early formed, high temperature minerals in the magma. In the biotite-poor rocks, ilmenite represents the main reservoir of titanium whilst orthopyroxene represents the main MgO and FeO reservoir. The exceptionally tight Ti: maficity correlation requires that both these minerals always be present at the same molecular ratio in the magma, despite the significant range in maficity portrayed by the rocks and despite the fact that these minerals have different size-density relationships. This exceptionally tight correlation can be readily interpreted to reflect entrainment of a peritectic assemblage consisting of ilmenite and orthopyroxene. The Al, Ca and Na correlations require the entrainment of peritectic plagioclase. The decreasing trend for ASI requires the entrainment of peritectic clionopyroxene. A near perfect match with the concentrations of these elements in the ignimbrites is produced by modelling entrainment of a peritectic assemblage consisting of plagioclase, ilmenite, orthopyroxene and clionopyroxene in stoichiometric proportions dictated by the melting reaction. A peritectic assemblage formed by these phases’ points to the partial melting of a source undergoing coupled biotite and hornblende fluid-absent melting, with hornblende being subordinate. The opx- and ilmenite-rich micro-domains in the rocks represent zones in the magma rich in original peritectic orthopyroxene and ilmenite. In contrast, the peritectic plagioclase demanded by the chemistry of the rocks has melted during ascent due to overheating and decreasing water solubility in the melt. The phenocrystic potassium feldspar observed in the rocks crystallised after significant cooling and the physical behaviour of these crystals does not shape the chemistry of the magma. K contents of the ignimbrites are however not well replicated by this modelling, which predicts a significant K decrease due to dilution. K in the rocks is not correlated with maficity. This may reflect the fact that the K behaviour represents two slightly different source protoliths with differing K contents.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Tot op hede is die enigste vulkaniese rots van die Kaapse Granietgroep wat al beskryf is ignimbriete wat teen die westelike grens van die Langebaan-lagune, na die suide van Saldanha, aan die oppervlak kom. Hierdie ignimbriete, met ’n ouderdom van 515 ± 3 Ma, verteenwoordig die jongste gesteentes in die Groep. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die petrogenese van fynkorrelrige granietrots wat na die noorde van die Langebaan-lagune blootgestel is, te ondersoek, en ook die klassifikasie van hierdie rotse as ’n subvulkaniese kwartsporfier- intrusiewe gesteentes te assesseer. Hierdie gesteentes toon ’n donker grys tot bruin mikro- tot kriptokristalvormige matriks wat prominente veldspaat en kwartsfenokriste bevat wat dikwels bogtig en gebreek is. Fenokriste van biotiet en ortopirokseen (Fs50-70) asook vervanging van albei fases deur chloriet kan mikroskopies geïdentifiseer word. Ilmeniet kom dikwels naby ortopirokseenfenokriste voor. ’n Tweede generasie poikiloblastiese biotiet groei die matriks toe en is duidelik deur subsolidusreaksie gevorm. Die veldspaatfenokriste is gewoonlik mikroklien-mikropertiet. Kontakblootstelling kan in die studiegebied waargeneem word, wat aantoon dat die fynkorrelrige rots ander grofkorrelrige granietgesteentes intrudeer het. Die oorheersing van gebroke fenokriste asook die teenwoordigheid van ‘fiamme’ strukture in die rotsdagsoom met ’n mikrokristalvormige matriks dui op vulkaniese oorsprong, wat aan die hand doen dat hierdie gesteentes as ignimbriete eerder as kwartsporfier geklassifiseer kan word. Hierdie waarnemings en eienskappe kan geïnterpreteer word as verteenwoordigend van ’n gelaste ignimbriet-afsetting wat deur grofkorrelrige graniet onderlê word. Die fynkorrelrige ignimbriet stel dan ’n daaropvolgende intrusie voor deur ’n latere puls van soortgelyke magma teen die kontak met die grofkorrelrige graniet af. Die ignimbriete is silisies met SiO2 wat wissel tussen 69 en 76 wt. %; hulle is matig peralumineus met waardes vir ASI (ASI = mol. Al2O3/ (CaO+Na2O+K2O)) wat wissel van 1.02 tot 1.09; en ASI is negatief gekorreleer met Mg + Fe (hierná mafiese komponent). Nou tot baie nou inter-elementkorrelasies bestaan vir verskeie groot elemente asook spoorelemente wanneer dit teen die mafiese komponent gestip word. Die volgende R²-waardes is van toepassing: Al =0.94; Ca = 0.98; Si = 0.97; Ti = 1.00; Na =0.90; Zr =0.95; La = 0.87. Hierdie elemente is almal positief met die mafiese komponent gekorreleer, buiten Si, wat negatief gekorreleer is. Ortopirokseen en ilmeniet verteenwoordig vroeg gevormde, hoëtemperatuur-minerale in die magma. In die biotiet-arme rotse stel ilmeniet die hoofreservoir van titaan voor, terwyl ortopirokseen die vernaamste MgO- en FeO-reservoir voorstel. Die buitengewoon nou Ti: mafiese-korrelasie vereis dat albei hierdie minerale altyd in dieselfde molekulêre verhouding in die magma teenwoordig moet wees, ondanks die beduidende omvang van die mafiese komponent wat deur die gesteentes getoon word en ondanks die feit dat hierdie minerale verskillende grootte–digtheidsverhoudings het. Hierdie buitengewoon nou korrelasie kan geredelik geïnterpreteer word om meesleping van ’n peritektiese groep te weerspieël wat uit ilmeniet en ortopirokseen bestaan. Die Al-, Ca- en Na-korrelasies vereis die meesleping van peritektiese plagioklaas. Die verminderende neiging tot ASI vereis die meesleping van peritektiese klionopirokseen. ’n Byna perfekte passing met die konsentrasies van hierdie elemente in die ignimbriete word voortgebring deur die modellering van meesleping van ’n peritektiese groep bestaande uit plagioklaas, ilmeniet, ortopirokseen en klionopirokseen in stoïgiometriese verhoudings wat deur die smeltreaksie bepaal word. ’n Peritektiese groep wat deur hierdie fases gevorm word, dui op die gedeeltelike smelting van ’n bron wat gekoppelde biotiet- en horingblende- vloeistofafwesige smelting ondergaan, met horingblende wat ondergeskik is. Die ortopirokseen- en ilmeniet-ryke mikrodomeins in die gesteentes verteenwoordig sones in die magma wat ryk is aan oorspronklike peritektiese ortopirokseen en ilmeniet. Hierteenoor het die peritektiese plagioklaas wat deur die chemie van die gesteentes vereis word tydens styging gesmelt weens oorverhitting en dalende wateroplosbaarheid in die smeltsel. Die fenokristiese kaliumveldspaat wat in die rotse waargeneem is wat ná aanmerklike afkoeling gekristalliseer het en die fisiese gedrag van hierdie kristalle vorm nie die chemie van die magma nie. Die K-inhoud van die ignimbriete word egter nie goed deur hierdie modellering gerepliseer nie, wat ’n aanmerklike K-afname weens verdunning voorspel. K in die rotse is nie met mafiese komponente gekorreleer nie. Dit kan die feit weerspieël dat die K-gedrag twee effens verskillende bronprotoliete met verskillende K-inhoud voorstel.

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2011.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study addresses the sustainable development and employment creation potential of bivalve mariculture with reference to the case of Saldanha. The first section of the study looks at various theoretical perspectives relating to sustainable development. The development of modernist theory is presented, as are its shortcomings. The People-Centred Development theory is presented as an alternative theoretical perspective. This theory is relevant to the present study because it prioritises the participation of local individuals in the development process, rather than prioritising the increase of capital gain. One of the development approaches within people-centred development is the Learning Process Approach. The learning process approach provides a development model through which people-centred development can take place. The study then focuses on empirical cases. The development of four mariculture case studies from different countries and farming different organisms is then considered. The development process of these case studies is used to draw lessons on what factors affect the sustainable development of a mariculture sector. It is shown that five key factors play a role in the sustainable development of each of the four cases. The five factors are the state, the market, funding, the environment and the local community. These five factors provide a typology with which to measure the potential for the sustainable development of the bivalve mariculture sector in Saldanha. Literature on Saldanha is then reviewed, giving a background to rising unemployment in Saldanha and the need to consider the expansion of alternative sectors. This is followed by presenting the methods and results of empirical research involving the collection of primary data in Saldanha. The research methods used in conducting empirical research in Saldanha are presented. This research elicited data on bivalve mariculture employees and bivalve mariculture directors in Saldanha as well as state representatives. The key findings of this study are that the restrictive state policies on mariculture and a lack of funding are the primary limitations to the sector‟s expansion. The sector has the potential to expand by a factor of four, providing employment for over 200 households in Saldanha.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie ondersoek fokus op die volhoubare ontwikkeling en werkskeppingspotensiaal van tweekleppige marikultuur met verwysing na die geval van Saldanha. Die eerste gedeelte van die ondersoek handel oor verskillende teoretiese perspektiewe met betrekking tot volhoubare ontwikkeling. Die ontwikkeling van modernistiese teorie word aangebied, tesame met sy tekortkominge. Die Mens-Gesentreerde Ontwikkelingsraamwerk word as 'n alternatiewe teoretiese perspektief aangebied. Die mens-gesentreerde ontwikkelingsraamwerk is relevant tot die huidige ondersoek omdat dit die deelname van plaaslike individue in die ontwikkelingproses, eerder as die verhoging van kapitaalwins, vooropstel. Een van die ontwikkelingsbenaderings binne mens-gesentreerde ontwikkeling is die Leerproses Benadering. Die leerproses benadering bied 'n ontwikkelingsmodel waardeur mens-gesentreerde ontwikkeling kan plaasvind. Die leerproses benadering word dan gebruik om die ontwikkeling van ander marikultuur gevalleondersoeke te bespreek. Die tweede deel van die huidige ondersoek beskou die ontwikkeling van vier marikultuur gevalleondersoeke uit verskillende lande wat met verskillende organismes boer. Die ontwikkeling van hierdie gevalleondersoeke is gebruik om lesse op te stel oor watter faktore 'n invloed op die ontwikkeling en volhoubaarheid van 'n marikultuursektor het. Dit is getoon dat die vyf belangrikste faktore wat 'n rol in die volhoubaarheid en uitbreidingspotensiaal van elk van die gevalle gespeel het die staat, die mark, finansiering, die omgewing en die plaaslike gemeenskap behels. Hierdie vyf faktore is gebruik as 'n tipologie om die volhoubaarheid en uitbreidingspotensiaal van die tweekleppige marikultuursektor in Saldanha te meet. Die geval van Saldanha word eerstens in die literatuur aangebied vir 'n agtergrond oor stygende werkloosheid in Saldanha en die noodsaaklikheid om die uitbreiding van alternatiewe sektore te oorweeg. Derdens is primêre navorsing oor Saldanha se tweekleppige marikultuursektor onderneem. Data is versamel vanaf werknemers, direkteure en staatsverteenwoordigers. Die belangrikste bevindings van hierdie ondersoek is dat die beperkende staatsbeleid oor marikultuur en 'n gebrek aan fondse die primêre beperkings op die uitbreiding van die sektor is. Die sektor het die potensiaal om met 'n faktor van vier uit te brei. Teen hierdie grootte sal meer as 200 huishoudings in Saldanha 'n inkomste hê.

Entre 1775 e 1782, a Capitania de São Paulo foi governada por Martim Lopes Lobo de Saldanha. Durante esse período, as disputas na fronteira Sul eram a maior preocupação da Coroa Portuguesa no Ultramar. Nesse contexto, a Capitania de São Paulo assumiu o papel de arregimentar tropas e assegurar a posse dos territórios meridionais da América Portuguesa. Com o Tratado de Santo Ildefonso, em 1777, ficou definida diplomaticamente a fronteira com os castelhanos. Começa então um segundo período do governo de Lobo de Saldanha em São Paulo, no qual as tensões e disputas políticas do período de guerra afloraram com maior intensidade, tornando evidente a oposição entre governador e poder local. O presente trabalho procura analisar o Governo do Capitão-General Martim Lopes Lobo de Saldanha enfatizando a questão geopolítica, mostrando como suas diretrizes de governo estavam relacionadas à questão na fronteira Sul. Uma vez solucionados os conflitos, no restante de seu governo Lobo de Saldanha enfrentou a oposição da elite local, em decorrência dos problemas causados pela guerra. E, para tal enfrentamento, Saldanha não possuía as habilidades políticas necessárias.Between 1775 and 1782, the Captaincy of São Paulo was governed by Martim Lopes Lobo de Saldanha. During this period, the disputes in the southern frontier were the major concern of the Portuguese Crown overseas. In this context, the Captaincy of São Paulo assumed the responsibility of enlisting troops and ensure the ownership of the southern territories of the Portuguese America. With the San Ildefonso Treaty, in 1777, the frontier was diplomatically defined with the Castilians. This is considered the beginning of a second term government of Lobo de Saldanha in São Paulo, in which wartime tensions and political disputes surfaced with greater intensity, making clear the opposition between the governor and the local power. This thesis analyzes the Government of Captain-General Martim Lopes Lobo de Saldanha emphasizing the geopolitical issue, showing how his government directives were related to the issues at the southern frontier. Once the conflict were solved, during the remaining years of his government Lobo de Saldanha faced the opposition of the local elite, due to the problems caused by war. And for such confrontation, Saldanha lacked the necessary political skills.

Thesis (MComm)--Stellenbosch University, 2000.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: At present the population in South Africa continues to grow at a higher rate than the rate of job creation. Traditional sources of job creation, such as large enterprises and state departments, are unable to provide enough jobs to combat the increasing rate of unemployment. An important component of the government's effort to address the unemployment problem, should be the emphasis on the development of entrepreneurship. In a study done in Bulgaria by Bartlett and Rangelava the contribution of small business to job creation became clear. Bulgaria, like South Africa, is also plagued by a high rate of unemployment (1997: 330). As the small business is seen as the natural port of entry for the entrepreneur to the business world, it would only be logical if efforts to encourage entrepreneurship are focussed on small business development. In essence entrepreneurial activity can be regarded initially as a local phenomenon which then spreads to the larger economy. In this regard research suggested that a mega event in a local context might result in an increase in entrepreneurial activity. The development of the Saldanha Steel project could be seen as an example of such a mega event in the West Coast region. This event inevitably led to an increase in entrepreneurial activity, which manifested in the establishment of many formal and informal businesses. At the completion of the project, however, few businesses survived. This raises the question whether the opportunity perceived by the mega event rather than the market on the long term initiated the decision to start-up. In this study it will be argued that the businesses that survived the so-called mega event were started as a result of long-term market considerations characterized by the critical success factors underlying an entrepreneurial decision. The objective of this research is to prove that the critical factors for entrepreneurial success play a more important role in eventual success and survival of the enterprise than the opportunistic entrepreneurial behavior sparked by a mega event only. Consequently the critical success factors for entrepreneurial success of businesses established in anticipation of the mega event that survived and surviving businesses established in the ten year period prior to the mega event, will be compared in order to test the hypothesis.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Tans is die bevolkingsaanwas in Suid-Afrika hoër as wat die toename in die skepping van werksgeleenthede is. Tradisionele bronne vir werkskepping, soos groot sakeondernemings en staatsdepartemente, kan nie voldoende werksgeleenthede skep om die toename in werkloosheid teë te werk nie. 'n Belangrike komponent in die regering se poging om die werkloosheidprobleem aan te spreek, behoort 'n fokus op die ontwikkeling van entrepreneurskap te wees. 'n Studie wat deur Bartlett en Rangelova in Bulgarye gedoen is, toon duidelik dat klein- en mediumsakeondernemings 'n bydrae tot werkverskaffing lewer. Bulgarye, soos Suid-Afrika, is ook die prooi van 'n hoë werkloosheidsyfer (1997: 330). Kleinsakeondernemings word beskou as die natuurlike deurgang vir die entrepreneur tot die sakewêreld en dit sou net logies wees om pogings om entrepreneurskap aan te moedig, op die ontwikkeling van klein sakeondernemings te fokus. In wese kan entrepreneursaktiwiteite beskou word as 'n aanvanklike plaaslike verskynsel wat geleidelik uitbrei na die groter ekonomiese sektor. Navorsing suggereer, derhalwe, dat 'n grootskaalse gebeurtenis binne plaaslike konteks kan lei tot 'n toename in entrepreneursaktiwiteite. Die ontwikkeling van die Saldanha Staal-projek kan beskou word as sodanige gebeurtenis in die Weskusstreek. Hierdie projek het onvermydelik tot 'n toename in entrepreneursaktiwiteite gelei wat in die vestiging van verskeie formele en informele sakeondernemings gemanifesteer het. Na voltooiing van die projek het min van die ondernemings egter bly voortbestaan. Dit laat die vraag ontstaan of dit die potensiële geleentheid van hierdie grootskaalse gebeurtenis, eerder as die langtermyn mark is wat hierdie ondernemingsbesluite geïnisieer het. In hierdie studie sal daar van die standpunt uitgegaan word dat die ondernemings wat die grootskaalse gebeurtenis oorleef het, die is wat die resultaat van langtermyn markoorwegings was en gekenmerk is deur kritiese suksesfaktore onderliggend aan 'n entrepreneursbesluit. Die doel van hierdie navorsing is om te bewys dat die kritiese suksesfaktore vir entrepreneursukses 'n belangriker rol in die uiteindelike sukses en oorlewing van 'n onderneming speel as die opportunistiese entrepreneursgedrag wat slegs deur 'n grootskaalse gebeurtenis aangevuur is. Om die hipotese te toets sal daar 'n vergelyking getref word tussen die kritiese suksesfaktore vir entrepreneursukses van ondernemings wat in afwagting van die grootskaalse gebeurtenis begin is en nog bestaan, en dié van ondernemings wat in die tien jaar periode voor die verwagte gebeurtenis begin is en nog bestaan.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The 2008/2009 economic downturn had a major impact on the international steel industry. With economic activities declining, the demand for steel decreased and subsequently, prices started to tumble. This put a great deal of pressure on steel manufacturing companies’ financials and they had to focus on cost reduction initiatives to survive. Steel companies who did not follow a turnaround strategy were not able to keep up with the competition. This research study focused on determining the details pertaining to the ArcelorMittal Saldanha Works turnaround strategy, as it is viewed as one of the most successful in the steel industry. Data was obtained from discussions with various role players and managers at ArcelorMittal Saldanha Works. The aim of the interviews was to get the detail of all the steps taken by the company to turn around its performance. Quantitative data describing the operational as well as financial and cost performance was sourced from the ArcelorMittal Saldanha Works Key Performance Indicator (KPI) system and from financial statements and progress reports. It was found that the basis for the turnaround strategy of ArcelorMittal Saldanha Works was World Class Manufacturing as it provided the vehicles through which improvements were managed with the aid of mainly the Autonomous Maintenance (AM), Professional Maintenance(PM), People Development (PD), Focused Improvement (FI), Product Quality (PQ) and Safety Pillars. The Cost Deployment (CD) Pillar was used to identify the biggest losses that needed to be addressed. ArcelorMittal Saldanha Works moved from one of the highest-cost producers in the ArcelorMittal group during 2010 to the second-lowest-cost producer in the group at the end of 2013. It reduced its total cost of production with $70 per ton over this period, without any major capital expenditure. The study concluded that the turnaround of ArcelorMittal Saldanha Works was successful and it is sustainable. This can be seen from the increase in the overall equipment availability, amount of hot-rolled coil tons produced, as well as the EBITDA figures reported in the study.

Avec ses deux bouées de mouillage nichées dans une baie ouverte et réservées au chargement du carburant ou des alcools anhydres, le port de Mossel Bay est la plus petite installation portuaire sud-africaine.

Ensemble, ils réalisent un trafic annuel de plus de 190 millions de tonnes. Cette facade maritime qui associe des ports vraquiers à des ports plurifonctionnels, connaît, depuis le retour du pays dans le concert des nations, une réelle envolée. Mais aujourd'hui, cette façade semble freinée dans son élan par des problèmes urgents et chroniques de sous-productivité. Pour pouvoir asseoir son rôle de puissance maritime émergente, l'Afrique du Sud se doit de réformer en profondeur son système portuaire, sa réussite en dépendWith its two moorage buoys nestled in an open bay and reserved for fuel and anhydrous alcohol loading, the port of Mossel Bay is the smallest South African port setup. Compared to it, Cape Town and Durban hinge on a multitude of terminals now specialized in coal, fruits or even containers. Here, the linears formed by the quays spread away endlessly into the distance. Hence, South African ports feature sceneries as well as varied functions. South Africa accomodates seven commercial ports along her atlantic and Indian Ocean shores. Extending from east to west, they are Richards Bays Durban in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, Port Elizabeth as well as East London establish themselves at Eastern Cape, finally Mossel Bay, Cape Town and Saldanha Bay are set up at Western Cape. They altogether achieve an annual trade impulse of more than 190 million tons. This shoreline, which combines bulk ports with multi-purpose ones, is experiencing a real meteoric rise since the country's return into the entente between nations. But today this seaside seems to be losing its momentum by urgent and chronic problems of under-productivity. To be able to fix her role as an emerging maritime power, South Africa must correct her port system radically, a factor on which her success is answerable

Bibliography: pages 132-157.The growth of Gracilaria gracilis (Stackhouse) Steentoft, Irvine et Farnham was examined by studying the effect of organismic determinants such as thallus length, position along the thallus and branching in a series of in situ and laboratory-based experiments. Knowledge of these factors is essential in order to maximise production from suspended seaweed rafts seeded with vegetative G. gracilis fragments. Seeding netlons with freshly collected material provided up to 30 % higher relative growth rates than seaweed maintained on the netlons for three successive months. Initial seedstock length greatly affected growth rate and yield such that 30 cm thalli fragments resulted in growth rates 14 % higher than for 10 cm fragments. This difference is suggested to be due to higher contribution of growth by lateral branches to overall biomass. Comparisons of the growth of apical and basal fragments suggested that growth takes place over the entire length of the thallus but that the apex contributes more to overall elongation than does the proximal part. The removal of apical meristems resulted in an enhanced branching frequency with production of four times as many branches as intact fragments. Evidence is also provided for severe morphological differentiation following long periods of rapid growth. These thalli have very high frequency of branching, are hollow due to the disintegration of medullary cells and are considered to be completely senescent.

Thesis (MScAgric)--Stellenbosch University, 2005.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study examines the role of contracting in reducing transaction costs in smalIscale mussel farming in Saldanha Bay. Masiza Mussel Growers (Masiza), an initiative by the public and private sector to address the imbalances of the past through entrepreneurial development, are used as a case study hence a case study approach is followed. Two transactions were considered, one between Masiza and Blue Bay Aqua Farm (Blue Bay) and another between La Vie Sea Food Products (La Vie) and Masiza. These transactions form the basis for analysis. Market risks, uncertainties, environmental risks, information incompleteness, illiteracy, limited technical knowledge of farming, lack of appropriate infrastructure and lack of transport facilities are identified and examined as possible sources of transaction costs that constrain the existing supply chain relationship. The study shows that asset specificity, time specificity, and site specificity playa positive role in the supply chain as they result in relative dependency amongst parties. Opportunistic behavior within the existing supply chain is neutral, but appears to be relatively high on the spot or fresh live market. Characteristics of market transactions for mussels and associated transaction costs suggest that fresh-live spot market trading for Masiza is difficult to attain. This therefore motivates parties (Masiza) to contract or vertically integrate, as it is costly and risky to rely on spot live markets. Interviewees (Masiza) pointed out that the benefits associated with contract farming outweigh the transaction costs associated with this governance structure. Hence a market specification contract with the La Vie (a processing company), and a production management and resource provision contract with Blue Bay (a larger producer) were designed. They reduce transaction costs associated with fresh-live markets and ensure a more stable and reliable market for growers.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die studie ondersoek die rol van kontraktering in die vermindering van transaksie koste vir klein skaal mossel produsente in Saldanha baai. Die Masiza Mussel Growers (Masiza) word as gevallestudie gebruik. Twee transaksies met o.a. Blue bay Aqua Farm (Blue Bay) en La Vie Sea Food Products (La Vie) was ter sprake en laasgenoemde het as basis vir die analise gedien. Mark risiko, onsekerheid, omgewings risiko, gebrekkige informasie, ongeletterdheid, beperkte tegniese kennis, beperkte infrastruktuur en beperkte verroer fasiliteite is geidentifiseer en ondersoek as moontlike oorsake van hoë transaksie koste wat die huidige aanbod ketting strem. Die studie toon aan dat interafhanklikheid tussen die betrokke partye deur bate, tyd en area spesifisiteite bevorder word en dus 'n positiewe rol in die aanbod ketting speel. Opportunistiese gedrag binne die bestaande aanbod ketting is neutraal, maar blyk hoog te wees in die vars mark. Transaksie kostes en eienskappe blyk beduidende beperkinge te wees vir kleinskaal mossel produsente om aktief deel te neem in die mark. Die opstel van kontrakte (of vertikale integrasie) blyk dus 'n uitkoms te wees. Respondente het aangetoon dat kontrak boerdery voordelig blyk te wees. Laasgoemde het tot die ontwikkeling van mark kontrakte met die La Vie ('n verwerkings maatskappy) asook produksie bestuur en hulpbron voorsiennings kontrakte met Blue Bay ('n groot kommersiële produsent) gelei. Die kontrakte beperk transaksie koste vir die vars mark en verseker 'n stabiele en betroubare mark vir produsente. 'n Transaksie koste analiese word gebruik om transaksie kostes te ondersoek en te verifieer binne die industrie.

Bibliography: leaves 33-34.An ADCP and water-column temperature study was conducted to determine the circulation aspect of subtidal-scale, density-driven exchange in Saldanha Bay, South Africa. Density-driven exchange conditions develop in response to synoptic-scale wind events in the southern Benguela region, even under light (<5m s-') wind conditions. During a density-driven exchange event, directionally opposing bi-level flow, similar to an estuarine system, develops in response to remote upwelling-favourable winds. The bi-level flow component occurs in two distinct bands, bayward at 0-9m height from bottom and seaward 15-20m height off bottom, and is very sensitive to changes in wind forcing. Observations of current behaviour are added to the four-phase conceptual model of density-driven exchange developed by Monteiro and Largier (1999). In addition, estimates of bay flushing based on ADCP current velocities and the four-phase conceptual model are calculated and implications of shelf water influx into Saldanha Bay are discussed.

This is based on the premise that nature is not situated at the forefront of development and is not adequately addressed in spatial planning - our relationship with nature needs to change. Strategic spatial planning is a long term future imagined. Unlike conventional land use management, spatial planning is well-positioned to resolve conflicts and tensions through in-depth analysis, direction, guidance and then strategic implementation. With the guidance of multiple policies, the personal beliefs of a planner and the incorporation of the interests of a variety of stakeholders, a future that is conducive to all is possible. In light of this, the main objective of this study was to integrate the 2011 Spatial Development Framework and the 2015 Environmental Management Framework of Saldanha Bay Municipality in order to find gaps and contestations which will help produce an improved and better-integrated ecologically mindful Regional Spatial Development Framework for Saldanha Bay Municipality. This study has undertaken a review of international literature to theoretically locate this study. This is followed by a contextual spatial and policy analysis of Saldanha Bay Municipality, which was predominantly focused on the findings of the 2015 EMF and 2011 SDF in order to better understand the key priorities with regards to the environment in the region. Using this as a platform to guide appropriate intervention, a Regional Spatial Development Framework (RSDF) has been created to propose a new nature-based development path. This plan is governed by the principles of reverence, intergenerational equity, interconnectedness, intrinsic value and individual responsibility. By recognizing the spatial relationships between people, their activities and nature this RSDF offers an opportunity to promote a more integrated and harmonized future. This is done using the key environmental layers of the 2015 EMF as the main platform to guide development towards better ecological resilience and adaption in the region. The key layers of the 2015 EMF are the” Keep Assets Intact”, “Develop with Care: Valued Resources” and “Develop with Care: Restrictive Conditions or Constraints” which indicate all the environmental attributes in the region. By understanding the environmental context, the researcher formulated three management frameworks from which key strategic interventions were developed in order to accommodate these environmental attributes and guide the vision of the RSDF. The landscape and natural resource management framework consists of the strategies of ecological remnants, diversifying dryland agriculture, coastline protection and enhancement, and lastly catchment management initiatives. All these strategies are directed at and fundamentally pursue the protection, enhancement, conservation and regeneration of ecosystems and biodiversity in the region. The economic development management framework consists of the strategies of renewable energy, eco industries and the IDZ. These strategies focus on the advancement of the local economy through sustainable and ecologically adaptive strategies. The site and settlement management framework consists of the strategies of townscape, reduce point source pollution and sustainable human settlements. These strategies focus on the local sense of place and predominantly the upgrading of infrastructure within settlements in the region. They are placed within a phasing framework for optimized and strategic intervention. All these strategies aim to create a more life-sustaining region through integrating and harmonising the relationship between people and nature, by establishing the importance and qualities of nature. Therefore, by implementing strategies that are spatially designated across the region and that focus on environmental prosperity and the integration of people and nature, it could be possible to transition to an increasingly ecologically secure future in Saldanha Bay Municipality where there is improved social and ecological health, local prosperity and a region where the natural landscape flourishes.

Dissertação para obtenção do Grau de Mestre em Gestão do Território - Ambiente e Recursos NaturaisComo consequência dos problemas ambientais que caracterizam Portugal, surgiram várias figuras de protecção e conservação da natureza e biodiversidade. As Áreas Marinhas protegidas são apenas um dos exemplos de protecção e conservação do ambiente. Salienta-se a importância que as mesmas têm na manutenção da conservação de espécies de vital importância para o ambiente marinho, fazendo referência ao quadro legal existente no país desde da década de 60 do século XX aos normativos internacionais adoptados e transpostos para a ordem jurídica do país. O concelho de Sesimbra situa-se no sudoeste da Península de Setúbal, faz fronteira a norte com os concelhos de Almada e Seixal, a nordeste com concelho do Barreiro, a leste com o concelho de Setúbal e a sul e oeste com o Oceano Atlântico. Apresenta uma paisagem diversificada dividida entre o verde da Serra da Arrábida e o esplendor do Cabo Espichel. Sesimbra sempre foi uma vila de pescadores, mas nos últimos anos as estatísticas têm sido diferentes, muito por culpa dos acordos de pesca, mas também pela criação, em 1998, do Parque Marinho Professor Luíz Saldanha que veio limitar a pesca em Sesimbra, fazendo com que os pescadores tivessem de optar por outros mares, outras espécies e outras actividades. Para poder explicar o porquê do decréscimo da pesca em Sesimbra iremos recorrer a informação bibliográfica, estatística e, acima de tudo, trabalho no terreno com entrevistas e conversas com pessoas que vivem de perto com o problema do Parque e da pesca em Sesimbra.

Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Since the construction of the causeway and the jetty during the early 1970’s in Saldanha Bay, various alterations to the coastline in the area of the Langebaan Lagoon mouth were observed. These alterations include the erosion of Langebaan Beach located near the town of Langebaan. An investigation was undertaken to identify the possible impact these structures had on the hydrodynamics and sediment transport of the Saldanha Bay and Langebaan Lagoon systems, focusing on the entrance to the Langebaan Lagoon. A two-dimensional numerical model was implemented for this investigation. The outdated information available for the generation of a bathymetry, which indicated the conditions prior to the erosion of Langebaan Beach, complicated the calibration process. However, calibration of the numerical model was acceptable. Due to the bathymetry not providing an indication on the current situation at the Langebaan Lagoon mouth, the results from the numerical model were approached with caution, providing an overview of the hydrodynamics present in Saldanha Bay and Langebaan Lagoon and would be able to broaden the understanding of the impact the causeway and jetty had on the hydrodynamics and sediment transport of Saldanha Bay and Langebaan Lagoon. Results provided by the sediment transport model only provide an indication on the effect tidal variations and wind forcing have on the bay and lagoon and not realistic total sediment transport rates due to the omission of wave action during the modelling process. Results from the numerical model, based on tidal oscillations and wind forcing only, have indicated that no major impact on the hydrodynamics and sediment transport were experienced due to the construction of the causeway and the jetty. During the investigation of the impact of various extreme water level and extreme wind conditions, it has been observed that a 1 in 100 year wind velocity across the longest fetch towards Langebaan Beach resulted in the greatest velocities prior to the construction of the causeway and the jetty, and after the construction of the causeway and the jetty tidal storms, or storm surge, generated the greatest velocities and thus the most sediment transport in the main channels of the mouth of the Langebaan Lagoon. From this investigation it was recommended that future studies would require an updated survey of the area, to ensure accurate modelling of the conditions as experienced during field surveys. Further recommendations on the investigation of sediment transport were the inclusion of wave action to provide realistic results. Wave action is a fundamental part of sediment transport along the coastline.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Sedert die konstruksie van die breekwater en die kaai gedurende die vroeg 1970’s in Saldanhbaai, is verskeie veranderings aan die kuslyn in die gebied van die Langebaan strandmeer mond waargeneem. Hierdie veranderinge sluit in die erodering van Langebaan Strand, geleë naby die dorp van Langebaan. 'n Ondersoek is onderneem om die moontlike impak van die bogenoemde strukture op die hidrodinamika en sedimentvervoer van die Saldanhabaai en die Langebaan strandmeer stelsels, veral die strandmeer se kanale, met die fokus op die ingang na die Langebaan strandmeer te ondersoek. 'n Twee-dimensionele numeriese model is gebruik vir hierdie ondersoek. Die verouderde inligting van die seebodem wat beskikbaar was vir die opwekking van die numeriese model het die kalibrasieproses bemoeilik. Alhoewel hierdie proses bemoeilik is kon ‘n aanvaarbare kalibrasie bereik word. Aangesien die gemodelleerde area en die werklike area nie ooreengestem het nie is resultate van die numeriese model omsigtig benader en die resultate geskik gevind om die kennis oor die moontlike impak wat die breekwater en die kaai op die hidrodinamika en sedimentvervoer van Saldanhabaai en die Langebaan strandmeer het, te verbreed. Resultate uit die sedimentvervoer model verskaf slegs ‘n aanduiding van die sedimentvervoer wat deur gety veranderings en wind gegenereer word. Werklike sediment vervoer sal die effect van golfaksie ook in ag moet neem, wat in hierdie studie uitgesluit is. Golfaksie is van kardinale belang by sediment vervoer langs ‘n kuslyn. Resultate van die numeriese model, gebaseer op gety en wind alleen, het aangedui dat geen groot impak op die hidrodinamika en sedimentvervoer as gevolg van die konstruksie van die breekwater en die kaai in Saldanhabaai ervaar word nie. Gedurende die ondersoek van die impak van verskeie ekstreme watervlak en uiterste windtoestande, is dit opgemerk dat 'n 1 in 100 jaar windsnelheid oor die langste stryklengte na Langebaan Strand gelei het tot die grootste vloei snelhede in die hoofkanale voor die konstruksie van die breekwater en die kaai. Na die konstruksie van die breekwater en die kaai is gevind dat gety storms die grootste snelhede en dus ook die meeste sedimentvervoer gegenereer het by Langebaan Strand. Uit hierdie ondersoek is dit aanbeveel dat toekomstige studies opgedateerde opmetings van die gebied moet uitvoer wat akkurate modellering, gebaseer op die toestande soos in die veld, sal verseker. Verdere aanbevelings oor die ondersoek van sediment vervoer is die modellering van .golfaksie wat van kardinale belang is in sediment vervoer langs ‘n kuslyn en dus meer realistiese resultate sal lewer.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MTech(Business Administration))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2011Business ventures tend to commit themselves too soon to the twin issues of corporate social responsibility and stakeholder interaction, but in practice normally fail to deliver on all their promises in this regard, which often lead to great disappointment for the local communities involved. The new dispensation in South Africa has currently contributed to a great extent to how communities respond when they face issues of this nature. Sowman and Megan Gawith (1994) are believe that this new approach in behaviour of communities is owing to the recent influence of western models of development on developing areas. An inability of business to adapt to this changed environment will inevitably lead to a fragile relationship between such an entity and the community, which could easily ruin the implementation of development plans and ultimately cause the end of a business. Waddock and Graves (1997) are of the view that if good stakeholder consultation is maintained, it could be favourable for both business and community, and healthy relationships of this nature are always evident in the practice of such a company. The Stakeholder Engagement Practitioner Handbook (2008:5) is a specific model which is explored by this study in order to prevent a negative kind of relationship between a business and the local community. This is regarded as an imperative tool for comparison purposes to ensure sustainable and sound interaction, whilst identifying potential problem areas and simultaneously serving as a guiding map. The aim of this study was to investigate the ongoing interactions process for the identification of strengths and weaknesses of engagements in the Saldanha Bay venture in order to provide recommendations for improvement accordingly, as well as to determine whether the current process is substantive and responsive enough to the real needs and expectations of these groupings. The research, therefore, reviewed available literature on public paticipation and stakeholder interaction for business success in order to develop a theorethical model based on the strengths and weaknesses of the current engagement process in the Saldanha Bay Municipal area, and to also identify key components for beneficial dialogue. A descriptive case study technique was adopted as the most appropriate design to focus analytically on the entire engagement process and to extrapolate the nature of the interaction from various stakeholder accounts, in order to emphasise the views of the selected population. The results of this study indicated that the current local engagement process did indeed match most of the elements contained in the proposed model after a comparison was conducted. The research findings further revealed that even though the forum gained enormous momentum during the first phase, the process still lacks a few key areas to ensure more effective engagement. If these key areas are not properly addressed, this situation could at a later stage pose a serious threat to the future sustainability of the forum.

L'objectif a ete de detecter puis d'analyser les signes de rupture dans les oeuvres de ces artistes, et, par consequent, les boulversements qu'ils ont introduit a l'interieur de la culture bresilienne. Je suis partie de la presomption qu'il n'y a pas de concept unique de modernite et qu'il y a autant de modernite que d'epoques.

L'influence europeenne et le primitif bresilien, la recherche de l'identite et l'inauguration d'une langue universel, definissent ces fragments de modernite. Ce sont des modernites qui sont effectuees par des biais differents, a savoir, par l'identite tarsila, par la recherche de la dimension esthetique, c'est-a-dire l'autonomie de l'hestetique - ione et, finalement, par l'option d'eprou- ver l'experimental - oiticica, ce qui l'a conduit au-dela de l'esthetiqueThie thesis consists in a research on modernity in brazil, exclusively linked to the universe of plastic arts, between 1920 and 1980. This analysis into the works of tarsila. Ione and oiticica. The objective was to detect and then to analyse the signs of changes of tone in the works of these artist and, comsequently the upheavals they introduced into brazilian culture. I started from the assumption that is no unique concept of modernity and that are as many modernities as eras, another question was also tackled, which was modernity in the "third world". The research showed that these three artists instituted new languages, although they were under the influence of heritages. They were deeply influencied by the avant-garde european, especially tarsila and ione. Oiticica antecipated body art and environmental art. The european influence and the brazilian primitive, the search for identity and the inauguration of a universal characterize these fragments of modernity. These are modernities that are achieved through different means, namely through identity - tarsila -, through the search for aesthetic dif- mension - ione - and lastly, through the option of testing the experi- mental - oiticica - which led him beyond aesthetics

Magister Administrationis - MAdminExisting literature offers various definitions of sustainable development, yet very few efforts have thus far been made to move specific communities to such a state of development. Popularised by the Brundland report, the concept of sustainable development is understood to be that which "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs". However, the abstract concept of sustainable development raises various of questions concerning, for example, intergenerational implications of patterns of resources use and equitable resource allocations as highlighted in this study. This research indicates that the principles of sustainable development posed a veritable challenge to development projects. Hence, the confusion surrounding the concept, often leads to disagreement and misunderstanding in the demarcation of specific projects.

Full textAbstract:
Chelon richardsonii are omnivorous, particle feeders found specifically within inshore and estuarine habitats on the west and south coast of South Africa. They are the primary target of the gillnet and beach-seine fishery in this region. Despite being managed through a multifaceted approach of gear restrictions and total allowable e↵ort, the fishery is thought to be oversubscribed and the stock is regarded as being overfished. The social and economic importance of this fishery necessitates an update of the life history parameters of C. richardsonii to enable an accurate assessment the current status of the stock. The fishery in Saldanha and Langebaan was described via investigating changes in sexratio, mean length (mm) and standardised catch-per-unit-e↵ort (CPUE). Firstly, exploration of sex ratio indicated a significant switch between the two periods (1998-2002 and 2017), resulting in a predominantly male biased population (1.7 males: 1 female). Secondly, through investigation of three length-frequency distributions of commercial catch of C. richardsonii (1998-2002, 2009-2011 and 2017) a reduction in mean total length (TL) of 36.5 mm was observed. Lastly, the standardisation of the Netfishery CPUE for the time series of 2008-2016 through the application of a Generalised Additive Mixed Model (GAMM) showed a reduction of approximately 30% in relative abundance of C. richardsonii. Chelon richardsonii exhibited a fast growth, a maximum age of six and matured relatively early at two years old. Growth was best described using a three parameter von-Bertalan↵y growth model; where L1 is the asymptotic length, K is the rate at which L1 is reached and t0 is the age when the average length is zero. The data collected in 2017 expressed two problems. Firstly, as a result of high gillnet selectivity, smaller individuals within younger age classes were missing. Secondly, due to growth overfishing and/or a small sample size (n = 353) older and larger adults were missing. Consequently, this increasesd K and decreased L1 to biologically implausible values (female original growth: L1 = 257.450 mm, K = 0.610 year-1 and t0 = -0.040 year). As a result L1 was fixed in accordance to a historic Lmax, in order to overcome these issues and produce biologically plausible growth parameters. Growth di↵ered significantly between males and females, hence female growth was subsequently used for the spawner biomass-per-recruit analysis in the proceeding chapter (L1 = 347.400 mm, K = 0.235 year-1 and t0 = -0.833 year). Total mortality (Z) and average natural mortality (M ) were estimated as 1.466 year-1 and 0.329 year-1, respectively. i 0 ii Growth and mortality was constant in Chelon richardsonii throughout Saldanha and Langebaan and despite potential emigration out of the bay, the sup-population of C. richardsonii was considered to be a discrete stock for the purpose of this study. A spawner biomass-pre-recruit model, based on the growth and mortality parameters calculated in Chapter 3, revealed that the stock is heavily depleted and recruitment is likely to be seriously impaired (spawner biomass-per-recruit = 5.5% of pristine levels). It must be acknowledged that the results of a per-recruit stock assessment heavily depend on the growth model parameters. In contrast, the model indicated an optimally exploited stock when the original growth parameters were applied (spawner biomass per-recruit = 76.2% of pristine levels). Considering results from Chapter 2 and the justifications for fixing L1 the plausibility of the second scenario being true is less likely. Acknowledging the temporal, spatial and sample size limitations of this study conclusions made will require definitive future examination. Regardless, a reduction in fishing e↵ort and further restrictions in mesh sizes are suggested to facilitate the replenishment and sustainable use of the stock.

As a fledgling democracy, South Africa has had to contend with a slowing economy that has been accompanied by increasing unemployment. The Industrial Development Zone (IDZ) is one of the policy instruments used by the South African government in an attempt to overcome these challenges. This research study takes a closer look at this policy instrument within the specific context of the Saldanha Bay IDZ. Saldanha Bay is an operating port on the West Coast of South Africa which, after a series of feasibility studies, has been deemed a suitable location to establish a services hub for upstream oil and gas activities. Its competitive advantages are inter alia a naturally deep port and close proximity to Cape Town. This study seeks to construct a rich narrative that unravels key activities that emerged from the project's conceptual phase through to its implementation phase. This is a period of a little less than two decades stretching from around 1999 to 2016. In linking this narrative to a timeline, this dissertation explores three central issues. The first is whether the Saldanha Bay IDZ presents a commercially viable option for investors. Secondly, it explores whether the public sector has been able to establish the necessary enabling environment required for project success. Finally, it seeks to determine the factors that influenced the speed of project delivery. This narrative is built by having conversations with key stakeholders from both the private and public sectors who have had an involvement with the project for a considerable amount of time. The intention is to extract lessons from their journey and use these learnings as a basis to improve stakeholder co-ordination in this and other projects characterised by multiple actor and principal relationships.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation focuses on the marine pollution awareness training needs of newly recruited SAN employees. It uses Training Needs Analysis (TNA) as a tool to gain a better understanding of what knowledge, skills and attitude (KSA) recruits should have about the marine environment and if their level of competency meets the requirement to effectively and efficiently contribute to the sustainable use of the maritime environment in which they will be deployed. Ultimately, their individual and collective abilities will be a determining factor in the strategic intent of the SAN to be unchallenged at sea. The absence therefore of a Marine Pollution Awareness Training Programme (MPTAP) within the Basic Military Training (BMT) curriculum of new recruits at SAS SALDANHA Naval Gymnasium necessitated a TNA. Based on prior research on training conducted by subject matter experts both internal and external to the SAN it was decided to conduct a TNA on the KSA‟s required in terms of marine pollution awareness amongst newly recruited members. The literature provided discusses education, training, development of employees and focuses then on the role and importance of TNA‟s. Information was gathered from various subject matter experts, archival records, policy documents, internet-based resources and newly recruited naval learners consisting of a sample of 25 new recruits. Theory was used to determine the KSA expected from naval employees in terms of marine pollution awareness. Data obtained from each of the research resources was coded and grouped in order to establish themes. This allowed the researcher to determine what KSA‟s recruits should have about the marine environment and if their level of competency meets the requirement to effectively and efficiently contribute to the sustainable use of the maritime environment in which they will be deployed. The researcher therefore found that first priority in terms of KSA‟s should be given to a basic legal understanding of the regulatory framework that is applicable on marine pollution. This understanding will form the foundation for recruits to have the ability to know “what to do when” during observed transgressions. The legal understanding in combination with the Sector Education Training Authority (SETA) unit standards will help new recruits to be skilful when applying safe working practices thereby ensuring their own and others' safety. Ultimately, a basic but well entrenched knowledge about marine pollution together with applied skills on how to use the knowledge should influence the attitude of new recruits in a positive manner. The researcher concluded that there is a need on the macro, meso and micro level for a MPATP amongst new recruits at SAS SALDANHA. It is recommended that since this research appears to establish the first empirical confirmation of the training need amongst new recruits, it will require further research in terms of curriculum design, curriculum implementation and the evaluation thereof. It would therefore be in the best interest of the SAN to ensure the integration of a MPATP into the planning phase of future BMT Curriculum‟s. It would also be advisable to communicate this intent with all the relevant stakeholders in order to ensure alignment with governmental organisations as well as the private sector where these new recruits can be employed based on their newly acquired competencies.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MScIng)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The pneumatic injection of reagent powder into molten iron has become the preferred way to carry out iron and steel desulphurisation. It is therefore essential to not only understand the thermodynamic implications, but also the kinetic principles that govern the desulphurisation process. Key variables that influence the kinetics of the procedure are the condition and composition of the top slag and the melt as well as the injection conditions. Notable injection parameters include reagent flowrate, injection-lance depth and carrier gas flowrate. Owing to sampling restrictions, the subsequent data from Saldanha Steel®, South Africa does not provide adequate insight into the kinetic behaviour of the desulphurisation process and it was therefore the focus of this research to provide an improved quantitive comprehension of the calcium carbide injection procedure at Saldanha Steel. For this purpose a one-dimensional quasi-steady state model for momentum, heat- and mass transfer in rising gas-liquid-powder plumes has been developed for conditions relevant to the Saldanha Steel refining process. Combined with a model predicting the contribution of the topslag to the process, the overall rate of desulphurisation as a function of time can be determined, thus affording the ability to quantitatively explore and analyse the influence of the afore-mentioned injection parameters, as well as the nature of both the topslag and the melt, on the kinetics of the desulphurisation process. Sensitivity analyses concluded that individual increases in the calcium carbide flowrate, the depth of injection and the amount of carry-over slag will result in a reduction in the injection time, while a decrease in the reagent particle diameter and the initial mass of iron in the ladle will have the same effect. Molten iron temperature losses brought about by prolonged injection needs to be electrically recovered within a steelmaking furnace at a high cost. Owing to the high cost of the desulphurising agent, any reduction in the required injection time, while still maintaining product specifications, will therefore result in diminishing overall production costs. Although all the results contained in this study is of particular interest to the Saldanha Steel scenario, it also provides invaluable information and insights into the important variables and parameters playing a role in injection desulphurisation processes in general, along with the influence that changing conditions can have on the end result of such a procedure.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die pneumatiese inspuiting van reagentpoeier is die populêrste ontswawelingsmetode in die yster- en staal bedryf. Dit is dus van groot belang dat die gepaardgaande termodinamiese en kinetiese beginsels betrokke by die ontswawelingsreaksies baie goed verstaan word. Die kondisie en samestelling van die bo-slak en die vloeibare yster, asook die inspuitingkondisies is twee van die belangrikste veranderlikes wat die kinetika van die ontswawelingsproses beïnvloed. Beperkte monsternemingsgeleenthede het veroorsaak dat die relevante data, soos voorsien deur Saldanha Staal®, nie die nodige kinetiese insig in verband met die ontswawelingreaksie weergee nie. Dit is dus die doel van hierdie werkstuk om ‘n verbeterde kwantitatiewe begrip van die ontswawelingsproses by Saldanha Staal daar te stel. Vir hierdie doeleinde is ‘n een-dimensionele, kwasi-gestadigde toestand model vir stygende gas-vloeistof pluime ontwikkel. Die model inkorporeer momentum-, hitte- en massaoordragsprinsiepe en is verteenwoordigend van die ontswawelingsproses by Saldanha Staal. ‘n Tweede model simuleer die bydrae wat die bo-slak tot die algehele ontswawelingsproses maak en saam gee hierdie twee modelle die algehele ontswawelingstempo weer as ‘n funksie van tyd. Die modelle word ook gebruik om die invloed van die bogenoemde inspuitingsveranderlikes op die proses te ondersoek. Deeglike sensitiwiteitsanalise het gewys dat ‘n verhoging in die kalsium karbied vloeitempo, asook die inspuitingsdiepte van die lans en die hoeveelheid slak wat vanaf die boogoond na die ontswawelingseenheid oorgedra word, ‘n vermindering in die vereisde inspuitingstyd te weeg bring. Verkleining in die kalsium kardied partikels se gemiddelde diameter en vermindering van die hoeveelheid yster in die torpedokarre aan die begin van die proses, het dieselfde uitwerking op die vereisde inspuitingstyd. Geweldig baie geld moet aan elektrisiteit spandeer word om die temperatuur wat verlore gaan as gevolg van onnodige lang inspuitingstye, in die staalmaakoonde te herwin. Gekombineerd met die feit dat die kalsium karbied reagent baie duur is, beteken dit dat reduksies in die vereisde ontswaweling inspuitingstyd groot besparings te weeg kan bring. Alhoewel die saamgevatte resultate van spesifieke belang is vir die Saldanha Staal proses, verskaf hierdie studie waardevolle informasie oor die belangrikheid van verskeie veranderlikes, asook die rol wat veranderende toestande op die eindresultate van die ontswawelingproses kan hê.

Not only physical and environmental distance, but also distance related to cultural, linguistic and religious differences distinguish the (im)migrants from the local indigenous population, which is already a culturally and linguistically diverse community. This study investigates how histories of displacement and experiences of alienation or integration may be discursively managed among a group of young Somali males aged between 15 and 35 who entered South Africa in their late teens or early twenties. Specifically, this thesis considers how young Somali men who relocated to a rural Western Cape town and make a living through trading, present themselves in English-language narratives elicited during informal interviews. The study was conducted in Vredenburg, the administrative centre and economic hub of the Saldanha Bay Municipal area on the West Coast of South Africa. The data for the study was collected by means of audio recorded interviews. To supplement this data and gain more perspective on the situatedness of the discourses, the researcher further relied on field notes as well as additional informal conversations with the participants. The data was collected over a period of five months in 2007. To analyse the data, the researcher draws on the theoretical frameworks of Labov's structural analysis of narratives and Wodak and Reisigl's (2001) discourse-historical approach, and Bamberg's (1997) narrative constructivist perspective. The research aims to determine (i) how the narrators construct themselves in their narratives, and (ii) how speakers position themselves towards the content of their narratives, and towards their actual and imagined audiences. This study shows that displacement brings about new contexts characterised by uncertainty, conflict and inequalities, and this influences the way narrators orient themselves. The Somali narrators, in interviews conducted in English with a community outsider, position themselves as displaced and marginalised. During their narratives, the participants used several linguistic strategies to present themselves in various ways to actual or imagined audiences, which lead to negative otherpresentation and positive self-presentation and construction of in-group and out-group membership.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie fokus op diskoerse van ontworteling waarin migrante hul ervaring verwoord van ’n soeke na beter lewensgeleenthede in ’n gemeenskap ver verwyderd van hul plek van herkoms. Buiten vir die fisiese en omgewingsafstand, is daar ook afstand daargestel deur kulturele, linguistiese en godsdiensverskille, wat die (im)migrante onderskei van die plaaslike bevolking – op sigself ’n kultureel en linguisties diverse gemeenskap. Hierdie studie doen ondersoek na hoe geskiedenisverhale oor ontworteling en ervarings van vervreemding of integrasie diskursief bestuur kan word binne ’n groep jong Somaliese mans van 15 tot 35 jaar wat Suid-Afrika in hul laat tienerjare of vroeë twintigerjare binnegekom het. Die tesis fokus spesifiek op hoe jong Somaliese mans wat na ’n plattelandse Wes-Kaapse dorp migreer het en ’n handelsbestaan voer, hulself voorstel in Engelstalige narratiewe wat ontlok is tydens informele onderhoude. Die studie is gedoen in Vredenburg, die administratiewe en ekonomiese kern van die Saldanhabaai Munisipale Area aan die Weskus van Suid-Afrika. Die data vir die studie is ingesamel deur middel van klankopnames van onderhoude. Ten einde dié data aan te vul en meer perspektief te verkry ten opsigte van die plasing van die diskoerse, het die navorser verder gesteun op veldnotas sowel as bykomende informele gesprekke met die deelnemers. Die data is oor ’n tydperk van vyf maande in 2007 versamel. In die ontleding van die data maak die navorser gebruik van die teoretiese raamwerke van Labov se strukturele analise van narratiewe en Wodak en Reisigl (2001) se diskoers-historiese benadering, asook Bamberg (1997) se narratief-konstruktivistiese perspektief. Die navorsing het ten doel om vas te stel (i) hoe die vertellers hulself in hul narratiewe konstrueer, en (ii) hoe sprekers hulself posisioneer ten opsigte van die inhoud van hul narratiewe en ten opsigte van hul werklike en denkbeeldige gehore. Hierdie studie toon dat ontworteling nuwe kontekste skep wat gekenmerk word deur onsekerheid, konflik en ongelykhede en ’n invloed het op die wyse waarop vertellers hulself orienteer. Tydens onderhoude met ’n gemeenskapsbuitestaander, uitgevoer in Engels, posisioneer die Somaliese vertellers hulself as ontwortel en gemarginaliseer. In hul narratiewe gebruik hulle verskeie linguistiese strategieë om hulself op verskillende maniere voor te stel aan werklike en denkbeeldige gehore wat lei tot ’n negatiewe voorstelling van die Ander, ’n positiewe voorstelling van die Self en die daarstelling van binne- en buite-groep lidmaatskap.

The Colenso Fault Zone marks the boundary between the Tygerberg and Swartland Terranes in the Pan-African Saldania Orogenic Belt. The fault zone comprises several discrete shear discontinuities that in places cross-cut relatively undeformed granites of the Cape Granite Suite. It is NW-SE striking, ~150 km long, and ~7km wide, but poorly exposed except in coastal exposures at the NW end. The deformation sequence can be divided into 2 sequences: The oldest deformation started with the emplacement of the G1, G2 and then the G3 of the Cape Granite Suite, followed by formation of aplite veins and strike-slip faulting generating cataclasites. The initial strike-slip sense of movement along the fault was sinistral, followed by dextral strike-slip shearing and finally late stage jointing. The Colenso Fault Zone is host to 3 large zones of cataclasis that are in the order of up to a few hundred metres in exposed down-dip and along-strike lengths. The cataclasites are composed of quartz and plagioclase clasts, in a phyllosilicate matrix. Both the wide cataclasites (several metres) and small cataclasite zones (tens of centimeters) show a decrease in shear intensity away from the core of the fault zone. The cataclasites have the same bulk chemical composition as the surrounding granite.

Engenharia do Ambiente, Perfil Gestão e Sistemas AmbientaisA importância e complexidade do ambiente marinho e zonas costeiras, e a crescente preocupação com a gestão sustentável dos oceanos conduz à criação e implementação de Áreas Marinhas Protegidas. No entanto, a gestão destas áreas tem sido efetuada com uma fraca, ou inexistente, participação dos atores locais, o que se reconhece ser um obstáculo à sustentabilidade. Neste contexto, torna-se imperativa uma alteração da perspetiva da sociedade e o despertar da consciência crítica dos cidadãos sobre a problemática ambiental. A Educação Ambiental, enquanto processo contínuo no qual os indivíduos e a comunidade adquirem novos conhecimentos, novas competências e novos valores, torna os cidadãos capazes de agir e participar ativamente, garantindo assim o cumprimento dos objetivos de sustentabilidade, e um reforço dos valores da cidadania ambiental. A Educação para a Cidadania Ambiental é um vetor fundamental para a conservação da natureza e da biodiversidade, promovendo a preservação do ambiente e da natureza pelos cidadãos. Mas para isto acontecer os cidadãos têm de ter conhecimento dos bens naturais que os rodeiam e tomar consciência da importância de se envolverem na sua proteção. Neste sentido, educar não só as novas gerações, mas também as mais antigas, foi um dos focos do Projeto MARGov através da sua componente de Cidadania. Este trabalho apresenta as ações desenvolvidas nesta componente, que foi estruturada em duas linhas principais de ação: i) Cidadãos pela Sustentabilidade e ii) Educadores e Educandos pela Sustentabilidade. Os resultados alcançados foram muito promissores, nomeadamente com o Projeto Educativo, parte da segunda linha de ação, que envolveu mais de 2000 alunos e professores de todas as idades, encorajando a sua relação com o mar e o reconhecimento e apreciação dos ecossistemas marinhos, promovendo espaços multigeracionais de partilha. O projeto encorajou a participação ativa dos cidadãos na deteção, compreensão e resolução de problemas relacionados com o mar.

Full textAbstract:
This study is about forms of social interactions and their microterratorialization sin the daily space of Saldanha Marinho Square, in Santa Maria/RS. Using Maffesoli ssociological formism methodology it was tried to investigate the forms and social contents, seeking understand the microappropriationsof space by different coexistence groups. So it is seek to investigate symbolic, relational and aesthetic aspects which define the boundaries of coexistence between social aggregates. In this sense, it was verified that Saldanha Marinho Square sets up itself by presenting several types of aggregations which relate in different ways, and that necessarily territorialize specific parts of space. It is verified that the square, in this dimension, characterizes by presenting justapost territories representing several life styles, symbolic forms and aesthetic and cultural expressions. So, two major territorializations were found, and represent ways of social interactions quite specific, defined by sharing in common of aesthetic and symbolic expressions among the individuals. In the morning, the space sets up by the presence of coexistence aggregations among elderly, which present several forms of social interactions in the space on social practices carried out by individuals. They are, mostly men due to idle time, go daily to the city center, specifically to the square in search of social life. In the afternoon, mainly on the weekends, it was found that the configuration space is altered by the presence of visible youth groups micro-territorializations and these are students and military. Thus, these young groups seek, during free time, conduct practices of leisure and entertainment in the city center, where the Saldanha Marinho Square is the main point of the micro-appropriate places by the groups in the urban space of Santa Maria city. Furthermore, it was noted in the space the presence of other forms of interactions which represent multiple subjectiveinterests of the multi-territorializated individuals. Therefore, the Saldanha Marinho Square comprises a coexistence place of multiple forms of interactions that, whenspatialized, form groups before micro-territorializated groups cohabitations borders, producing micro-spaces of coexistence groups which result from social segregation or aggregation groups.Este trabalho traz um estudo sobre as formas de interações sociais e suas microterritorializações no espaço cotidiano da Praça Saldanha Marinho, localizada na cidade de Santa Maria/ RS. Através da metodologia do formismo sociológico de Maffesoli, procurou-se investigar as formas e os conteúdos sociais, buscando compreender as microapropriações do espaço pelos diferentes grupos de convivência. Dessa maneira, buscou-se investigar os aspectos simbólicos, relacionais e estéticos, os quais definem as fronteiras de convivência entre os agregados sociais. Nesse sentido, verificou-se que a Praça Saldanha Marinho configura-se por apresentar diversos tipos de agregações que se relacionam de formas distintas e que necessariamente territorializam partes específicas do espaço. Pode-se dizer que a praça, nessa dimensão caracteriza-se por apresentar territórios justapostos representando diversos estilos de vida, formas simbólicas e expressões culturais e estéticas. Assim, constataram-se duas grandes territorializações, as quais representam formas de interações sociais bastante específicas, definidas pelo compartilhamento em comum de expressões estéticas e simbólicas entre os indivíduos. Ou seja, no período da manhã, o espaço configura-se pela presença de agregações de convivência entre idosos, as quais se conformam por apresentar múltiplas formas de interações sociais verificáveis no espaço diante das práticas sociais realizadas pelos indivíduos. Trata-se de indivíduos em sua maioria homens, que, devido o tempo ocioso, deslocam-se diariamente para o centro da cidade, especificamente para a praça em busca de convívio social. No período da tarde, principalmente nos finais de semana, verificou-se que a configuração do espaço altera-se pela presença visível de microterritorializações de grupos de jovens, sendo estes estudantes e militares. Assim, trata-se de jovens que buscam durante o tempo livre, realizar práticas de lazer e entretenimento no centro da cidade, onde a Praça Saldanha Marinho constitui o principal ponto do circuito de lugares microapropriados pelos grupos no espaço urbano da cidade de Santa Maria. Além disso, observou-se no espaço a presença de outras formas de interações as quais representam múltiplos interesses subjetivos dos indivíduos microterritorializados. Assim sendo, a Praça Saldanha Marinho compreende um espaço de coexistência de múltiplas formas de interações que ao se espacializarem formam diante dos grupos microterritorializados fronteiras de convivências, produzindo microespaços de convivência resultado das segregações dos grupos/agregações sociais.

The Librarians' Axiom is the theory that library usage goes up during an economic recession. This Axiom is supported by anecdotal evidence in the literature, but lacks statistical support. This dissertation attempts to fill that gap by looking at library use of the 10 libraries in the Saldanha Bay Municipal area during the 2008/2009 economic recession. No statistical evidence was found to support the Axiom. Several reasons to explain this result were explored, but none found to justify the lack of evidence that the axiom holds in this case.

Masters in Public Administration - MPASouth Africa is plagued by municipal service delivery protest actions on a perennial basis. This observable fact is confirmed in the municipal audit reports of the Auditor General (AG) for the 2010-11 and 2011-12 financial years. One of the reasons cited for these poor audit results by the office of the Auditor General is problems linked to the management of performance, or the absence of a proper Performance Management System (PMS). This study aims to establish why a municipality finds it difficult to develop, implement and sustain a proper PMS, and what factors contribute to an efficient PMS in a municipality. This research is based on a case study of a category B-municipality, namely the Saldanha Bay Municipality and explores various factors necessary to ensure the effective implementation of a performance management system. The primary aim of the study is to identify and discuss the negative and the positive factors regarding the case of the Saldanha Bay Municipality over a period of 10 years. It analyses the PMS problem areas and endeavours to understand what contributed to the Auditor General’s “clean audit” finding in the 2013/14 and 2014/15 financial periods. The study utilized the case study approach as this is arguably the most appropriate approach to understand and interpret the phenomenon that was studied. The study also concentrates on both primary and secondary sources of data. Secondary sources include books, journal articles and government reports whilst the primary sources include personal observations, structured interviews and a survey questionnaire. The survey questionnaire was adapted from the de Waal and Counet (2009) questionnaire and applied to the management / staff of this municipality. This instrument is appropriate in that it allowed the researcher to probe and explore the 31 performance categories against which the implementation of a Performance Management System in the Saldanha Bay Municipality was assessed. The key findings of this study, especially in the first 5 years of the decade in discussion, indicate that the lack of management commitment, leadership and support played a role in the problems related to the implementation of a PMS. Other factors that were also evident were the lack of enough time and resources for the implementation of a PMS and the lack of a comprehensive change management process during the implementation phase. A fourth finding was that the PMS did not present enough benefits for management, particularly in their daily management activities, which resulted in a culture of compliance, rather than a culture of performance.

The principal aim of this study was to establish the biological and environmental parameters governing the successful and sustainable cultivation of mussels in Saldanha Bay. The environmental study investigated seston, chlorophyll-a and particulate organic matter (POM) levels, water temperature dissolved oxygen and salinity levels in the bay and water flow in and around the rafts. The biological part of the study investigated the efficiency of food extraction, growth rates, mussel condition, fouling and production and yield on a rope, raft and farm scale. Saldanha Bay is well suited for the culture of mussels, particularly Mytilus galloprovincialis and Choromytilus meridionalis. Water temperature and salinity in Saldanha Bay were found to be near optimal for mussel culture. POM and chlorophyll-a levels were found to be high due to primary production resulting from the nutrient rich upwelled water outside Saldanha Bay. The mean levels of chlorophyll-a (8,6μg/l) represent 6%, by mass, of the total POM. On a bay scale the POM remained above the mussels maximum requirements (pseudofaeces threshold) during the study period. Mussels showed a preference for the phytoplankton portion of the POM. Approximately 40% of the chlorophyll-a was extracted from the water by the mussel farm. The efficiency of food extraction increased with mussel age. Rafts with seed mussels younger than 2 months, 3 to 4 months, 5 to 6 months and older than 6 months extracted 32%, 55%, 85% and 92% of the available chlorophyll-a respectively. An increase of rope spacing on the rafts resulted in 37% more chlorophyll-a and 30% more particle volume reaching the lee of the raft. Ambient water currents in the bay show flow rates of up to 22cm per second. However, on entering a raft with a rope spacing of 60cm, the water flow is attenuated by 90%. Increasing the rope spacing to 90cm resulted in a water flow attenuation of 72%. The increase in rope spacing ensures that the mussels in the centre of the raft are feeding on food levels close to, or above, the pseudofaeces level. Mussel growth rate at a rope spacing of 90cm is significantly improved as a result of the increased food delivery. There are other factors, however that effect mussel growth. Growth rates were found to be better in summer than in winter. The reduced winter growth rate is possibly due to competition with the maturing fouling organisms which settle in mid to late summer. Fouling by mussel spat and Ciona intestinalis is seasonal, occurring from December to May. C.intestinalis is prevalent in the centre of the farm and rafts as low energy waters are preferred by this species. Mussel spat settles mainly on the periphery of the farm and the rafts. Competition with fouling organisms reduces growth and increases mortality of the cultured mussels. Results indicate that the present spacing of rafts, (1 raft per hectare) is adequate under existing conditions. Any new farms should maintain batches of 50 rafts with channels between them to ensure water current penetration into the furthest reaches of the farm. Rope spacing on the rafts should be increased to between 60cm and 90cm. Mussel density should be regulated according to mussel size and fouling should be controlled to maintain yields.

Full textAbstract:
For suspended cultivation of seaweeds in the open ocean, the selection of suitable sites and the optimization of cultivation methods for maximum productivity are of utmost importance. Growth of raft-cultivated Gracilaria gracilis in Saldanha Bay is known to be badly affected in late summer due to the persistence of warm oligotrophic water at the ocean surface which prevents replenishment of nutrients by upwelling. This study documents the extent of nitrogen starvation during this period and investigates some possible methods of managing this problem. Nitrogen content, C:N ratio and stable isotope abundances of C and N were obtained for material grown for varying lengths of time, material grown at various depths and material that had been fertilized prior to placement on the raft. The relationship between thallus colour and nitrogen content was also documented using a standard colour guide. The onset of nitrogen starvation was rapid, occurring after about two weeks on the raft. Growth was optimized about a meter below the water surface, possibly as a result of photoinhibition of photosynthesis at the surface. Nitrogen limitation ceased below about 2m growth depth. Prefertilization had no significant effect on yield after 4 weeks growth. Thallus colour showed a clear relationship with N content and may be a useful indicator of N status of cultivated Gracilaria. δ¹⁵N was related to N content and increased rapidly when N limitation was removed. Stable isotope natural abundance measurements are a useful tool in the study of growth environment, but more controlled experimentation investigating the factors which influence these values is needed, particularly for macroalgae.

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2001.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Saldanha-Langebaan coastal zone is an important natural resource and serves as habitat for several endangered bird and fish species. Development in this coastal zone holds a constant threat for the natural environment and has a negative impact on the water quality of the bay. It is therefore essential to manage the water quality to ensure fitness for use for all the beneficial users in this coastal zone. This study focuses on the utilization and management of the Saldanha-Langebaan coastal zone. The beneficial users have different water quality requirements. It is therefore important to identify all the different water uses and to determine the occurrence of pollution and the dispersion thereof in the bay. The biophysical characteristics of the natural resource are described as part of the objective determining phase of the integrated water quality management process. The thesis also focuses on the inauguration and functioning of an integrated water quality management organization and the development and implementation of a long term monitoring program, with special emphasis on the sediment en health monitoring results. The result of this research study is a functional management instrument for integrated water quality monitoring and management in the Saldanha-Langebaan coastal zone.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Saldanha-Langebaan kussone is 'n belangrike natuurlike hulpbron en dien as habitat vir verskeie bedreigde voel- en visspesies. Hierdie kussone is egter ook onder konstante ontwikkelingsdruk wat 'n negatiewe impak op die watergehalte van die baai het. Dit is dus noodsaaklik dat die watergehalte so bestuur word dat dit geskik bly vir al die gemeenskaplike watergebruikers in hierdie kussone. In hierdie studie is die benutting en bestuur van die Saldanha-Langebaan kussone ondersoek. Verskillende watergebruikers het uiteenlopende watergehaltebehoeftes en dit is noodsaaklik om die verskillende watergebruikers, sowel as die voorkoms en verspreiding van besoedeling in hierdie gebied te identifiseer. Die biofisiese eienskappe van die natuurlike kusopvanggebied is beskryf as deel van die aanvanklike doelwitbepalingsfase van geïntegreerde watergehaltebestuur. Die tesis fokus ook op die stigting en werkswyse van 'n geïntegreerde watergehaltebestuursliggaam, asook die ontwerp en implementering van 'n langtermyn moniteringsprogram. Daar is veral gelet op die resultate van die . sediment- en bakteriologiese moniteringsprogram. Die resultaat van die navorsingsproses is die totstandkoming van 'n funksionele bestuursliggaam wat as instrument dien vir geïntegreerde monitering en bestuur van die watergehalte in die Saldanha-Langebaan kussone.

A dificuldade em compatibilizar a conservação da natureza e o desenvolvimento da exploração desses recursos, e das comunidades que deles usufruem e dependem, leva frequentemente ao despoletar de conflitos que influenciam o sucesso de AMP. Para assegurar a sustentabilidade a longo-prazo de uma AMP é importante a colaboração entre entidades governamentais e administrativas, utilizadores e comunidades locais. Para tal, de acordo com literatura, a governância colaborativa de AMP, deve ter em conta aspectos como a identificação e o papel dos stakeholders, mecanismos de participação, responsabilização, cumprimento e execução, avaliação da eficácia, adaptatividade e financiamento sustentável da gestão. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido no âmbito do Projecto MARGov – Governância Colaborativa de Áreas Marinhas Protegidas, com inicio em Outubro de 2008 após ser premiado com o Galardão Gulbenkian/Oceanário de Lisboa – “Governação Sustentável dos Oceanos”, tendo como caso de estudo o Parque Marinho Professor Luiz Saldanha. Das sessões do MARGov resultou a identificação, por parte dos stakeholders, de aspectos chave e pontos de reflexão a ter em conta para um modelo de governância colaborativa (MGC). Da integração do trabalho desenvolvido no MARGov, com os resultados da análise de informação bibliográfica referente a dez AMP internacionais, e tendo em conta boas práticas identificadas de acordo com factores que aumentam o sucesso e eficácia na abordagem dos conflitos e no alcance de objectivos de AMP, resultou uma proposta de MGC dividida em Estrutura e Processos de tomada de decisão e gestão, onde são dadas linhas de orientação no que respeita à identificação das plataformas e stakeholders que devem compor o modelo. A Estrutura do MGC proposto assenta numa Plataforma de decisão colaborativa e numa Plataforma de participação, enquanto os Processos de tomada de decisão e gestão baseiam-se em ciclos que descrevem três níveis de gestão adaptativa.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2011.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Purpose: Literature on World Class Manufacturing is very limited. Some information exists on the concepts behind it, but very little exist on the framework and physical implementation. Also, a lot of information is available on other productivity improvement initiatives but not a lot is mentioned about the implementation thereof and the difficulties experienced during the implementation. This paper aims to provide not only an overview of the framework of World Class Manufacturing as interpreted by ArcelorMittal, but also a case study of such an implementation. Design/Methodology/Approach: The approach taken with this paper is to give an overview of the World Class Manufacturing framework as interpreted by ArcelorMittal and to provide a case study of an actual implementation thereof. Findings: Productivity improvement initiatives have real value for the companies that implement them, but this value can only be sustained if the principles behind them are entrenched in the company’s strategy. Practical Implications: The result of this paper is the design of a Business Management Framework that will support the sustainability of a World Class Manufacturing implementation. Originality/Value: The value of this paper lies not only with the building of the body of knowledge with respect to World Class Manufacturing but also in the design of a new concept for the support of sustained value creation of World Class Manufacturing.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Doel: Literatuur oor “World Class Manaufacturing” is baie beperk. Daar is wel literatuur oor die konsepte agter dit, maar daar bestaan baie min literatuur oor die raamwerk asook die fisiese implementering. Daar bestaan ook baie literatuur oor ander produktiwiteits verbetering initiatiewe, maar daarin word daar ook baie min melding gemaak van die implementering asook die probleme wat ondervind word gedurende die tyd. Die verslag se mikpunt is om ’n oorsig te gee van die raamwerk van “World Class Manufacturing” soos wat dit deur ArcelorMittal geinterpreteer word, asook om ’n voorbeeld te gee van so ’n implementering. Ontwerp/Metodologie/Aanslag: Die aanslag wat geneem is met die verslag is om ‘n oorsig te gee van die raamwerk van “World Class Manufacturing” soos wat dit geinterpreteer word deur ArcelorMittal asook om ‘n voorbeeld te gee van die implementering daarvan. Bevindings: Produktiwiteits verbetering initiatiewe lewer regte waarde aan die maatskappye wat dit implementeer, maar die waarde kan net volhou word as die beginsels agter die initiatiewe ingeburger word in die maatskappy se strategie. Praktiese Implikasies: Die resultaat van die verslag is die ontwerp van ‘n Besigheids Bestuur Raamwerk wat die volhoubaarheid van die implementering van “World Class Manufacturing” sal ondersteun. Oorspronklikheid/Waarde: Die waarde van die verslag le nie net in die opbou van die kennis wat beskikbaar is oor “World Class Manufacturing” nie, maar ook in die ontwerp van ’n nuwe konsep for the onderhouding van volhoubare waarde skepping met “World Class Manufacturing”.

Previous issue date: 2007-09-21This dissertation aims to demonstrate the subsisting rationalist principles and methods, which overcame the closure of the Escolas Modernas (Modern Schools) of São Paulo, starting a discussion with the Brazilian historiography which considers such experiments finished in 1919. In order to achieve this goal, we analyzed the set of scholastic attitudes present in the Academia de Comércio Saldanha , which was founded by the anarchist João Penteado, trying to recognize some continuity in the remaining of this experiment, between the years of 1920 and 1945. The temporal selection is justified by the encompassing period of intense debate about education issues in Brazil. To this analysis, we utilized the school journals, João Penteado s manuscripts and the scholastic administrative documentation which are current located at the Centro de Memória da Escola da Universidade de São Paulo (Memorial Center of the São Paulo University s School). We tried to link the anarchist proposal continuity to the resistance forms present in the liberating associations, understanding them as part of the ideal and culture of the anarchist period

Para isso, analisamos o conjunto das práticas escolares presentes na Academia de Comércio Saldanha Marinho, escola fundada e dirigida pelo anarquista João Penteado, buscando reconhecer traços de continuidade dessa experiência entre os anos de 1920 e 1945. O recorte temporal se justifica por abarcar um período de intenso debate acerca das questões educacionais no Brasil. Utilizamos para essa análise, os jornais produzidos pela escola, os manuscritos de João Penteado e a documentação administrativa escolar, que se encontram no Centro de Memória da Escola da Universidade de São Paulo. Procuramos Vincular a continuidade da proposta anarquista em educação às formas de resistência que se processavam no interior das associações libertárias, entendendo-as como parte do ideário e da cultura anarquista no período

Full textAbstract:
Magister Philosophiae - MPhilThis study outlines human dimensions in the hake sector in South Africa in terms of hake fish workers. The hake fish workers condition of employment, security of employment, social security issues, remunerations and their living conditions forms part of the social, economic and political dimensions in hake fisheries. The need for ensuring sustainable long-term utilisation of the hake resource and to manage, prevent and reduce all adverse effects of harvesting the hake stock through knowledge based intervention is crucial to this study. Sustainable fisheries management can use the working and living conditions of fish workers as indicators for effective management of fisheries. Fish workers issues, which include their conditions of service, contractual agreements, work safety, income, working hours and other human dimensions, may have an effect on the effective sustainable management. Ecosystems approaches takes into consideration the human dimensions and ecological consideration for effective fisheries management. Knowledge of the historical and economic importance of the hake sector is crucial for the planning and future of the fisheries. Applying the concept of the ecosystems approaches to hake fisheries management is also critical in understanding the human dimensions in hake fisheries. The qualitative methodology of field work was used in understanding the human dimensions in commercial hake fisheries. The investigation into the fish workers labour issues and living conditions through a field work highlighted that the labour issues such as type of employment (permanent or casual), conditions of employment (social security, regulated hours of work, good working conditions), stagnation in terms of promotion, remuneration and issues surrounding labour brokers are some of the social issues in the hake sector. The living conditions of fish workers, stagnation and improved remuneration should be attended to in the sector. Fish workers in the hake sector rely on wages for their livelihood. Workers’ participation in decision-making at governance level should be enhanced for effective governance in the fisheries

No Brasil, a pesquisa jurídica quase sempre é desenvolvida por profissionais institucionalizados. É sobre o que acontece neste campo profissional que se concentra esta pesquisa. Esta pesquisa interpretativa constrói enquanto objeto de estudo as ideias filosóficas que orientam o trabalho concreto dos cientistas jurídicos humanistas no âmbito da Faculdade de Direito do Recife (FDR). A formação jurídica humanista foi tradição na instituição por mais de um século a partir da sua fundação (1827). Com fundamento na orientação metodológica da sociologia do conhecimento, em especial do referencial elaborado por Bourdieu, foi possível identificar essas ideias de base no seu processo de construção e difusão institucional ao longo do século XX. Nesse período de tempo, percebeu-se uma desvalorização do capital simbólico desses profissionais num contexto de fortalecimento do habitus tecnológico no campo jurídico profissional. Sob a orientação metodológica do estudo sistemático, isolaram-se igualmente para a contemplação científica as pesquisas elaboradas por Nelson Saldanha. O trabalho desse agente institucional é considerado em caráter exemplar no âmbito da produção jurídica não dogmática e humanista da instituição. A pesquisa heterodoxa desse profissional humanista foi examinada no contexto do fluxo de ideias institucionalmente mediadas. Percebeu-se que a característica fenomenológica da pesquisa realizada pelo agente pode ser relacionada a um referencial filosófico existencial desenvolvido por diversas gerações de pesquisadores no âmbito institucional e, mais amplamente, no campo intelectual da cidade do Recife. Em termos epistemológicos, esse fundamento filosófico existencial conduz o autor à elaboração de uma pesquisa jurídica com características antropológicas nas décadas de 1960 e 1970.
