On this day I would like to dedicate my speech to a fallen hero who was described as a ‘selfless revolutionist’ who died for his political beliefs. Serious tensions followed after his assassination, with fears that the country would erupt into violence.

  • Determining the Vitality of Urban Centres

    Determining the Vitality of Urban Centres

    The Sustainable World 15 Determining the vitality of urban centres J. E. Drewes & M. van Aswegen North West University, Potchefstroom Campus, South Africa Abstract This paper will attempt to provide an encompassing Index of Vitality for urban centres. The Vitality Index’s© goal is to enable measurement of the general economic, social, physical, environmental, institutional and spatial performance of towns within a regional framework, ultimately reflecting the spatial importance of the urban centre. Towns have been measured in terms of numerous indicators, mostly in connection with social and economic conditions, over an extended period of time. The lack of suitable spatial indicators is identified as a significant shortcoming in the measurement of urban centres. This paper proposes the utilisation of a comprehensive index to measure the importance of an urban centre within a specific region. The Vitality Index© is consequently tested in a study area situated in the Northern Cape Province, South Africa. This study contributes in a number of ways to the measurement of urban centres, i.e. the shortcomings that are identified for the urban centres can be addressed by goal-specific policy initiatives, comprising a set of objectives and strategies to correct imbalances. The Vitality Index© also provides a basis for guiding national and regional growth policies, in the identification of urban centres with sustainable growth potential and vitality. Keywords: sustainability indicators, measuring urban centres, importance of urban centres, sustainable housing, spatial planning; policy, South Africa. 1 Introduction Various indicators have been designed and are recognised to provide a quantitative evaluation of an urban centre. Included are indicators describing economic growth, accessibility, sustainability, quality of life and environmental quality.

The amnesty was premised on the following Five (5) objectives: . To reduce the number of illegally possessed firearms in circulation in South Africa. To provide firearm owners with the opportunity to hand in unwanted firearms. To prevent crime and violence and to promote safety. To address the fundamental causes of crime in order to effectively protect our communities. To ensure people living in South Africa feel and have no fear of crime. The partial achievement of the set objectives and numerous requests from members of the public prompted a submission for another amnesty. The presentation will include the comparison of amnesty 2019/2020 with the previous amnesties.

Benewens hierdie oorkoepelende perspektief op navorsing word jaarliks ook ander perspektiewe op navorsing in fakulteitspublikasies aangebied. Statistieke omtrent navorsingsuitsette word in ander publikasies van die Universiteit se Afdeling Navorsingsontwikkeling aangegee. Die Universiteit se navorsingspoging is, soos in die verlede, gesteun deur 'n verskeidenheid van persone en organisasies binne sowel as buite die Universiteit. Die US spreek sy besondere dank uit teenoor die statutêre navorsingsrade en kommissies, staatsdepartemente, sakeondernemings, stigtings en private indiwidue vir volgehoue ondersteuning in dié verband. Wat die befondsing van navorsing betref, word navorsers aan Suid-Afrikaanse universiteite - soos elders in die wêreld - toenemend afhanklik van nuwe bronne vir die finansiering van navorsing.

Mesobuthus eupeus SCORPIONISM IN SANLIURFA REGION OF TURKEY OZKAN O. (1), KAT I. (2) (1) Refik Saydam Hygiene Center, Poison Research Center, Turkey; (2) Department of Infectious Diseases, Health Center of Sanliurfa, Turkey. ABSTRACT: The epidemiology and clinical findings of scorpion stings in Sanliurfa region of Turkey, from May to September 2003, were evaluated in this study. Mesobuthus eupeus (M. eupeus) plays a role on 25.8% of the scorpionism cases. This study also showed that intoxications caused by M. eupeus in the southeast of Anatolia region were seen in hot months of the summer, especially on July. Females and people above 15 years old were mostly affected and stung on extremities. Intense pain in the affected area was observed in 98.7% cases, hyperemia in 88.8%, swelling in 54.6%, burning in 19.7%, while numbness and itching were seen less frequently. In our study, the six most frequently observed symptoms were local pain, hyperemia, swelling, burning, dry mouth, thirst, sweating, and hypotension. In this study involving 152 M. eupeus toxicity cases, patients showed local and systemic clinical effects but no death was seen. Autonomic system and local effects characterized by severe pain, hyperemia and edema were dominantly seen in toxicity cases. KEY WORDS: Mesobuthus eupeus, Turkey, scorpionism, epidemiology, clinical symptoms.
