https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:58196 87% had one (or fewer) test missing. Results suggested a similar factor structure to prior PennCNB studies in Western contexts, and expected age and sex effects were apparent. Furthermore, a similar profile of schizophrenia was observed, with neurocognitive deficits most pronounced for executive functions, especially attention, as well as memory, social cognition, and motor speed relative to complex cognition and sensorimotor speed. Conclusions: Results support the feasibility of implementing a culturally adapted computerized neurocognitive battery in sub-Saharan African settings and provide evidence supporting the concurrent validity of the translated instrument. Thus, the PennCNB is implementable on a large scale in non-Western contexts, shows expected factor structure, and can detect cognitive deficits associated with neuropsychiatric disorders. Obtaining valid measures of cognition by nonspecialized proctors is especially suitable in resource-limited settings, where traditional testing is prohibitive. Future work should establish normative standards, test–retest reliability, and sensitivity to treatment.]]> Sun 21 Apr 2024 21:25:26 SAST ]]> Validity of categories related to gender identity in ICD-11 and DSM-5 among transgender individuals who seek gender-affirming medical procedures https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:58210 Sun 21 Apr 2024 21:24:26 SAST ]]> Measuring discrimination experienced by people with a mental illness https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:58202 Sun 21 Apr 2024 21:21:00 SAST ]]> M3: Mining Mini-Halos with MeerKAT https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:72181 Sun 21 Apr 2024 13:42:47 SAST ]]> Marine plastic pollution impacts on ecosystem services and livelihoods in South Africa: a review and stakeholder perceptions https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:72180 Sun 21 Apr 2024 09:58:54 SAST ]]> Drought impacts on livestock and crop production along an urban-rural gradient: perceptions and response strategies in the Eastern Cape province, South Africa https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:72179 95%) respondents owned livestock while substantially more rural farmers (81%) than urban farmers (35%) engaged in crop production. Drought was perceived by a sizeable proportion (>70%) of small-scale farmers as a very serious environmental challenge with adverse socio-economic repercussions on land-based activities. Livestock losses and crop failure were the key impacts reported by small-scale farmers in both rural and urban settings. About 86% of respondents across the sample reported declines in crop yields, with significantly more farmers in rural sites (45%) than urban sites (31%) reporting so. A substantial proportion of farmers across the sample (93%) reported drought response strategies relating to livestock and crop production, such as changing of farming practices, use of drought-resistant crops and government support, with slight differences in the proportion of farmers reporting so between urban (89 %) and rural (95 %) sites. Concerning government support, most respondents (>70%) stated that they were dissatisfied, with slightly more respondents in urban areas (77%) than in rural (70%) areas reporting so. Overall, the results of this study suggest a minimal response capacity of small-scale farmers to droughts in both rural and urban settings due to socio-economic and administrative factors, which calls for the need for drought-response strategies to build adaptive capacity for small-scale farmers. Turning to close cooperation between different stakeholders, such as local farmers, government officials, practitioners, and scientists might allow co-production of knowledge needed to inform drought response strategies. In some instances, attention needs to be given to farmers who are more vulnerable than others.]]> Sun 21 Apr 2024 09:53:43 SAST ]]> The effects of short-duration overnight kraaling on herbaceous vegetation and soils in mesic grassland https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:72178 Sun 21 Apr 2024 09:45:04 SAST ]]> Distribution and habitat preferences of marine megafauna in Nosy Be, Madagascar https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:72177 Sun 21 Apr 2024 08:48:55 SAST ]]> Natural Language Processing with machine learning for anomaly detection on system call logs https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:72176 Sun 21 Apr 2024 08:41:54 SAST ]]> Application of web design techniques and best practices in implementing web development, maintenance and enhancement of RUBi websites and web application systems https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:72175 Sun 21 Apr 2024 08:14:12 SAST ]]> The development and op timisation of a Theiler’s murine encephalomyelitis virus antiviral assay https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:72174 Sun 21 Apr 2024 07:59:48 SAST ]]> Identification of novel Arf1 GTPase inhibitors for cancer target validation https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:72173 Sun 21 Apr 2024 07:52:16 SAST ]]> The development of a plate-based assay to detect the activation status of ARF1 GTPase in Plasmodium falciparum parasites https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:72172 Sun 21 Apr 2024 07:45:15 SAST ]]> Investigation of brewery waste grains and microbial fuel cells as value-additive technologies improving solvent production yields in Clostridium acetobutylicum (ATCC 824) fermentation https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:72171 Sun 21 Apr 2024 07:31:41 SAST ]]> Using the indigenous technology of making oshikundu to mediate learning of the topic diffusion in Namibia https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:71670 Mon 22 Apr 2024 19:46:21 SAST ]]> The effects of inclusive education policies and administrative circulars on small schools in Namibia https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:71671 Mon 22 Apr 2024 19:39:49 SAST ]]> Global climate justice: the case of climate migrants https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:70304 Mon 22 Apr 2024 19:39:38 SAST ]]> A distributed approach to leadership in an academic department in a South African university: an exploratory case study https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:71672 Mon 22 Apr 2024 19:39:31 SAST ]]> Investigating teachers’ perceptions on translanguaging pedagogy in a multilingual intermediate ESL classroom: a comparative study of two primary schools in Namibia https://commons.ru.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:71673 Mon 22 Apr 2024 19:39:23 SAST ]]> The governance of schools for internally displaced learners in Puntland, Somalia: a top-down or bottom-up approach to education peacebuilding?
