Understanding The Factors Influencing The Interest in Adopting Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV): A Quantitative Investigation
Get PDFThis research employs a quantitative design to investigate factors influencing Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) adoption intentions among Indonesians, using the framework developed by Elena Higueras-Castillo et al. (2021). By utilizing IBM SPSS, the study examines psychological and social factors such as attitudes towards BEVs, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intention to use BEVs. Multiple hypotheses are tested using multiple regression analysis. Survey responses from 145 participants are analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, multiple regression, and factor analysis to identify patterns and relationships. The study ensures validity and reliability through pre-testing the questionnaire and adhering to ethical guidelines. Statistical analyses reveal that attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control significantly influence residents' readiness to adopt BEVs. The findings fill a knowledge gap in BEV adoption dynamics within Indonesia, offering insights for policymakers, urban planners, and other stakeholders. Based on the results, recommendations are made for policy interventions, infrastructure investments, and public awareness campaigns to accelerate the transition towards electric mobility. These insights can be leveraged to effectively market BEVs to new potential consumers by highlighting the positive attitudes, social norms, and perceived control factors that drive adoption
Decolonised university should be a ‘space of exchange’
No full textAfrican universities should decolonise through human and epistemic diversity and internationalization rather than by adopting a parochial “nativism” and by retreating into epistemic enclaves separate from the rest of the world, says Dr William Mpofu, a researcher at the Wits Centre for Diversity Studies, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa

Key findings are presented in this document and the data tables are available for download in MS Excel format from CeSTII’s website (https://hsrc.ac.za/divisions/centre-for-sciencetechnology-and-innovation-indicators/).
Non-communicable disease (NCD) risk among people living with HIV in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa: evidence from a randomised trial of community-based differentiated service delivery
No full textAs differentiated HIV services provided outside of clinics are scaled up, clients may have fewer interactions with ancillary services for non‐communicable disease (NCD) prevention and management traditionally offered within facilities. This study was embedded in the DO ART randomised trial (2016−2019), which demonstrated that community‐based differentiated service delivery (DSD) improved HIV viral suppression compared with facility‐based care. We assessed NCD risk among men and women living with HIV accessing community‐based DSD versus facility‐based care in KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa.
Ways of sharing information for innovation-driven local economic development: emerging lessons from Karoo districts
No full textMany municipalities want to invest in innovative economic activities but lack guidance on how to target such investments. This information gap affects municipalities unevenly, with resource-poor areas facing greater
barriers. Based on HSRC work in the Karoo, Peter Jacobs and Mandy Booys discuss how information about innovation could be shared with municipal stakeholders.N/
Gender‑related factors affecting community malaria‑related perceptions and practices in Migori County, Kenya
No full textMalaria poses a significant global public health challenge yet there remains limited information on the influence of gender dynamics on malaria programmes despite the well-known gender-specific differentials
in the prevalence, transmission and exposure to malaria. The 2024 World Malaria Report indicates that the burden of malaria and the challenges in addressing it remain severe in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), with eleven countries including Kenya bearing almost two-thirds of the global disease burden. Kenya remains heavily affected, with around 70% of the population at risk. The aim of this paper is to explore how gender-related factors influence malaria healthcare seeking perceptions and practices in Migori County, a malaria endemic area in Western Kenya. The study employed a qualitative research design to gain in-depth insights into local perceptions and practices regarding malaria. Thirty-one in-depth interviews, four gender-stratified focus group discussions, six key informant interviews, and five process mapping exercises. Participants were purposively selected to ensure diversity and data thematically with both inductive and deductive approaches applied to generate themes. Results The results of the study are in three main themes; gender-related similarities and differences in malaria healthcare-seeking perceptions; gender differentials in malaria prevention and treatment practices and the gendered dimensions of malaria healthcare-seeking information. Participants were generally aware of malaria, although there were noticeable gaps in their understanding regarding transmission and prevention. Gender related factors including gender dimensions (gender roles and relations); social stratifies (level of education, gender identity, occupation) and cultural dynamics (beliefs- religion and traditional superstitions) influenced the perceptions of risk and vulnerability. Decision-making was reported as shared in relation to type of treatment and access to care. Conclusion The study of community’s perceptions reveals that malaria healthcare-seeking, knowledge, attitudes and practices and the perceptions of risk and vulnerability are influenced by gender roles and relations and intersections among socio-demographic factors, beliefs including religion and traditional superstitions, and occupation. Gender disparities in knowledge and healthcare-seeking behaviors illuminated in this study underscore the need for gender-sensitive public health interventions, inclusive health policies and integration of pluralistic health care systems to improve public health outcomes.
World champions: the story of the South African rugby
No full textWorld Champions 2nd edition continues the story of South African rugby in a new chapter that includes coverage of the momentous 2023 Rugby World Cup win by South Africa’s Springboks. South Africa won the 2023 Rugby World Cup by defeating New Zealand 12-11 in front of more than 80 000 spectators at the Stade de France. As this 2nd edition shows, in winning the Webb Ellis Cup for the fourth time, the Springboks became the competition’s most successful team. Back-to-back victories in Yokohama in 2019 and Paris in 2023 inspired a renewed appreciation of the skills that have always existed across South Africa’s racial spectrum. In its telling of this story, World Champions 2nd Edition again offers readers insights that go beyond the media-led rendition of South African rugby. Further additions to this 2nd edition include a revised Introduction, expanded Index, updates to the history of South Africa’s first steps toward playing international rugby in the late nineteenth century, as well as additional content about, inter alia institutions such as the national governing bodies, and the winning teams in 1995, 2007, 2019 and 2023. In this way, the 2nd edition continues to provide both the most-relevant and most-current history of South African rugby and the many organisations and individuals that have contributed to its evolution.N/
Funding R&D in a de-industrialising South Africa. Analytical brief no. 2025/01
No full textThis brief explores the current state of research and development (R&D) funding in South Africa and the need for increased investment to achieve the country’s targets for R&D expenditure as a proportion of gross domestic product (GDP). It aims to show how South Africa can return to a pathway of high R&D intensity and suggests a
benchmark value and approach to government funding of R&D to facilitate this.N/
Does moving between cities pay off?: economic outcomes for South Africa's intercity migrants
No full textCities attract talent and innovation, driving growth through agglomeration economies. In African cities, the focus has been on rural to urban migration, overlooking intercity labour migration. This study examines the impact of intercity labour migration on household income, employment, and wages in South Africa, a country with significant income disparities and high urbanization rates. Using longitudinal data from the National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS) from 2008 to 2017, we compare economic outcomes for urban adults who relocate to
new cities with those who stay put. Employing various econometric techniques to control for selection bias and
simultaneity, the results show a positive impact on income and employment for those moving between urban areas. Notably, upward mobility is not dependent on skill level or moving to larger metros. These findings highlight the importance of understanding urban worker flows and the broader urban system beyond the rural-urban dichotomy.
