Beyond Roads. ON THE WAY TO A BETTER SOUTH AFRICA. South Africa’s road network is more than a means of getting from one point to another. It plays a critical role in the economy by enabling the movement of people, goods and services. At SANRAL we understand that this makes our network one of our country’s key contributors to competitiveness in global markets. The Polokwane Ring Road is one of our country’s strategic routes, since it provides a gateway to neighbouring countries and the rest of the African continent. The recent upgrades will significantly improve commuting and traffic flows close to South Africa’s busiest road port of entry. As a trusted custodian of our national road network, we believe it is through continued investment in the major drivers of the economy that we can navigate our way to a better South Africa.

    Life Cycle Carbon Footprint of the North-South Corridor Road Network Philippa Notten and Ilhaam Patel December 2013 Revamping the Regional Railway Systems in Eastern and Southern Africa Mark Pearson and Bo Giersing Regional Integration Research Network Discussion Paper (RIRN/DP/12/01) Regional Integration Research Network www. Open Dialogues for Regional Innovation trademarksa.org/rirn Preface Since its establishment in 2009, TradeMark Southern Africa (TMSA) has supported the COMESA-EAC-SADC Tripartite in developing and implementing its regional integration agenda. TMSA has provided this support by focusing on regional market integration to establish a free trade area in the Tripartite region, trade facilitation, infrastructure development and industrial development. One of the work areas under the infrastructure development pillar is TMSA’s support for the design, upgrade and construction of regional transport corridors. TMSA commissioned Camco Clean Energy and The Green House to undertake a study for estimating the carbon footprint of the North-South Corridor road network (NSC) according to international best-practice standards. This was done through a life-cycle analysis approach by determining the carbon footprint of individual road links forming part of the NSC in their respective construction, maintenance, rehabilitation and operational phases. Thereafter, the individual carbon footprints of NSC roads in different phases were added to determine and analyse the overall carbon footprint of the NSC. The study is innovative by being the first of its kind to consider and determine the contribution of a wide variety of greenhouse gasses arising from road construction activities, equipment and materials over the entire life-cycle of roads.

Signature: AJ Gelderblom ______________________ Date: March 2021 Copyright © 2021 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Road safety is considered to be one of the most critical concerns in contemporary society. As a result, reducing road traffic crashes is, arguably, the most critical aspect that needs to be addressed within a roadway system. Injuries and fatalities resulting from traffic crashes are a serious problem. Globally, the number of road traffic deaths continues to rise, reaching a devastating 1.35 million fatalities in 2016, which equates to almost 3700 people being killed on the world’s roads every day. Despite the efforts made by government agencies and the engineering community, the road crash fatality rate in South Africa remains higher than the global average.

  • Browsing Through Bias: the Library of Congress Classification and Subject Headings for African American Studies and LGBTQIA Studies
    Browsing through Bias: The Library of Congress Classification and Subject Headings for African American Studies and LGBTQIA Studies Sara A. Howard and Steven A. Knowlton Abstract The knowledge organization system prepared by the Library of Con- gress (LC) and widely used in academic libraries has some disadvan- tages for researchers in the fields of African American studies and LGBTQIA studies. The interdisciplinary nature of those fields means that browsing in stacks or shelflists organized by LC Classification requires looking in numerous locations. As well, persistent bias in the language used for subject headings, as well as the hierarchy of clas- sification for books in these fields, continues to “other” the peoples and topics that populate these titles. This paper offers tools to help researchers have a holistic view of applicable titles across library shelves and hopes to become part of a larger conversation regarding social responsibility and diversity in the library community.1 Introduction The neat division of knowledge into tidy silos of scholarly disciplines, each with its own section of a knowledge organization system (KOS), has long characterized the efforts of libraries to arrange their collections of books. The KOS most commonly used in American academic libraries is the Li- brary of Congress Classification (LCC). LCC, developed between 1899 and 1903 by James C. M. Hanson and Charles Martel, is based on the work of Charles Ammi Cutter. Cutter devised his “Expansive Classification” to em- body the universe of human knowledge within twenty-seven classes, while Hanson and Martel eventually settled on twenty (Chan 1999, 6–12). Those classes tend to mirror the names of academic departments then prevail- ing in colleges and universities (e.g., Philosophy, History, Medicine, and Agriculture).
