Economic Background

Urban renewal and development is an important strategy in the South African government's plans to combat poverty and transform the country's economy.  The aim of this study was to investigate  the perceptions and attitudes of residents (the local commununity) towards a mixed-use development in Hout Bay, Cape Town.  An exploratory factor analysis was used to reduce 13 usable variables to four factors, labelled as macro-, micro-, location specific- and infrastructure and superstructure factors.  The findings based on the four factors suggest that significant differences exist in the perceptions of development between different socio-economic groups within the community.  Regardless of the socio-economic background of residents, they agreed that development should blend in with existing architecture and the character of the area.

Modern publishing businesses need a complex roadmap for developing print and digital directions, and lack of the strategy for media means overload with unnecessary current activities for employees, lack of attention to readers and advertisers and dissatisfaction with the financial achievements by head office. The proposed paper attempts to understand the usage patterns and preferences of audience for print trade magazine. The questionnaire is based on the theory of the functions of the trade press to make sure that the magazine performs the established functions for its audience. The data also helped establish the demographics of the magazine's audience. The findings of the study enable to throw light on the present media usage habits and to examine the trade media consumption behavior. The study showed that the audience of the trade media is very homogeneous and characterized by similar socio-economic characteristics. Even though the study gives insights into current trade press preferences of audience, the results may not be generalized as every audience has own territorial, gender and financial differences and diversified socio-economic background. The study can be further extended by taking a sample from different types of trade media.

Nudaurelia capensis β virus (NβV) is an RNA virus of the South African Pine Emperor moth, Nudaurelia cytherea capensis (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae). The NβV capsid is a T = 4 icosahedron that contains 60T = 240 subunits of the coat protein (Mr = 61,000). A three-dimensional reconstruction of the NβV capsid was previously computed from visions embedded in negative stain suspended over holes in a carbon film. We have re-examined the three-dimensional structure of NβV, using cryo-microscopy to examine the native, unstained structure of the virion and to provide a initial phasing model for high-resolution x-ray crystallographic studiesNβV was purified and prepared for cryo-microscopy as described. Micrographs were recorded ∼1 - 2 μm underfocus at a magnification of 49,000X with a total electron dose of about 1800 e-/nm2.

Summary: In the past suicidal behavior among Black South Africans has been largely underresearched. Earlier studies among the other main ethnic groups in the country showed suicidal behavior in those groups to be a serious problem. This article briefly reviews some of the more recent research on suicidal behavior in Black South Africans. The results indicate an apparent increase in suicidal behavior in this group. Several explanations are offered for the change in suicidal behavior in the reported clinical populations. This includes past difficulties for all South Africans to access health care facilities in the Apartheid (legal racial separation) era, and present difficulties of post-Apartheid transformation the South African society is undergoing, as the people struggle to come to terms with the deleterious effects of the former South African racial policies, related socio-cultural, socio-economic, and other pressures.
