Male on-campus resident students’ social normative behaviour: Influences on lived social climate by same gender beginning-year university students
No full textThis article reports on research on antecedents of first-year male students' experiences of senior male students' aggression in residences at a university in South Africa. Fourteen purposefully selected first-year male student residents (black = 14%; coloured = 7%; white = 79%) voluntarily participated. Their ages ranged between 18 and 21 years. Data were on their perceived precursors to aggression and violence that were collected using photo-narratives (written) and photo-narrative-elicitation-interviews. The data were analysed by means of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Three themes emerged which indicate that precursors to aggression and violence included physical and verbal aggression in the form of hitting, shoving around, pushing and shouting, swearing, taunting others, and nasty comments. Social aggression involves acts of bullying, exertion of power, modelling dominant behaviour in which perpetrators defend their status, or signal exclusion of others. The survivors experienced pressure to conform to fellow residents' practices, norms and behaviour in the hope that they would gain acceptance into the in-group
Extreme ultraviolet emission lines of Ni xii in laboratory and solar spectra
No full textA linear force-free field solution is presented in cylindrical coordinates, formulated in terms of trigonometric and Bessel functions. A numerical exploration has revealed that this solution describes magnetic field lines that meander in Cartesian space, as well as field lines that lie on toroidal flux surfaces. These tori are in (or close to) the plane perpendicular to the cylindrical axis. Nested tori, as well as tori with shells that have finite thickness, were found. The parameter space of the solution shows that the tori exist within a bounded range of values
Failed states, fading dreams and a failing democracy : the critical role of public law academics
No full textText of inaugural address by Prof. Christoffel Botha, Department of Public Law on 17 October 2007.With reference to incidents where rule of law has been disregarded by the South African government and pointing to the danger of paraliament becoming a mere rubber stamp for the executive, the author urges legal academics - and particularly public law academics - to become involved through criticism
The Representation of Gays and Lesbians in South African Cinema 1985–2013
No full textTHE REPRESENTATION OF GAYS AND LESBIANS IN SOUTH AFRICAN CINEMA 1895-2013 Despite South Africa\u27s progressive constitution which prohibits discrimination against gays and lesbians, as well as a strong gay movement, South African cinematic images of gay men and women are limited and still at the margin of the South African film industry. One ends up with less than 20 short films, a few documentaries and less than 10 features with openly gay and lesbian characters in the past 114 years of South African cinema. Under apartheid, gay and lesbian voices in film and television were silenced. In a 20-year study of the representation of gays and lesbians in African, Asian and Latin American cinema (Botha 2003; 2012; Botha & Swinnen 2010), the author has noted that homosexual experience is unique in South Africa, precisely because of South Africa\u27s history of racial division and subsequent resistance.

Male teachers' experiences of own aggression
No full textWe describe an exploratory, descriptive, and contextual study on the lived experiences of 17
male teachers’ own aggression in the Gert Sibande district in Mpumalanga province. Individual
phenomenological interviews were used to collect data from these volunteers for this qualitative
research. The data were analysed by means of an open coding systematic process in order to
establish the themes and categories that describe male teachers’ experiences of own aggression.
Results show that the participants in this sample experience their own aggression in a variety
of ways. It appears they primarily experience a loss of power and control that gives rise to
aggression. Significantly, participants are aware that they need guidelines to enable them to
cope with their aggression. Although there are aggression theories that support and provide an
understanding of aggressive behaviour, Transformative Learning Theory seems to offer the best
way of bringing about transformative change in individual behaviour, as it raises consciousness
and an understanding of the self through self-reflectio
Psychometric Properties of the Short Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SSRQ) in a South African Context
No full textStatistical properties of Charney-Hasegawa-Mima zonal flows
No full textA theoretical interpretation of numerically generated probability density functions (PDFs) of intermittent plasma transport events in unforced zonal flows is provided within the Charney-Hasegawa-Mima (CHM) model. The governing equation is solved numerically with various prescribed density gradients that are designed to produce different configurations of parallel and anti-parallel streams. Long-lasting vortices form whose flow is governed by the zonal streams. It is found that the numerically generated PDFs can be matched with analytical predictions of PDFs based on the instanton method by removing the autocorrelations from the time series. In many instances the statistics generated by the CHM dynamics relaxes to Gaussian distributions for both the electrostatic and vorticity perturbations, whereas in areas with strong nonlinear interactions it is found that the PDFs are exponentially distributed
