Mngazana Estuary https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10604 300 cm) Rhizophora trees at Mngazana Estuary. Mortality of Avicennia marina individuals (51-150 cm) was related to tree density indicating intraspecific competition and self thinning. Selective harvesting of particular size classes of Rhizophora mucronata was recorded when comparing length of harvested poles (~301 cm) and the size class distribution of individuals. Taking into account the differences in growth rate for each size class for this species it will take approximately 13 years to attain a height of 390 cm which is the height at which trees are selected for harvesting at this estuary. This is 2.6 times slower than those individuals growing in Kenya. The feasibility of harvesting is dependent on the growth rate of younger size classes to replace harvested trees as well as the rate of natural recruitment feeding into the population. Different harvesting intensity scenarios tested within a matrix model framework showed that limits should be set at 5 percent trees ha-1 year-1 to maintain seedling density at > 5 000 ha-1 for R. mucronata. However harvesting of Bruguiera gymnorrhiza should be stopped due to the low density of this species at Mngazana Estuary. Harvesting of the tallest trees of Avicennia marina can be maintained at levels less than 10 percent ha-1 year-1. Effective management of mangrove forests in South African is important to maintain the current state, function and diversity of these ecosystems. Management recommendations should begin with determining the freshwater requirements of the estuaries to maintain the mouth dynamics and biotic communities and deter the harvesting of (whole) adult trees particularly those species that do not coppice. Further management is needed to ensure that forests are cleared of pollutants (plastic and industrial), and any further developments near the mangroves should be minimized.]]> Wed 12 May 2021 16:26:19 SAST ]]> An analysis of sources and predictability of geomagnetic storms https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:5451 Wed 12 May 2021 16:24:52 SAST ]]> A critical analysis of the socioeconomic impact assessments of the Addo Elephant National Park https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:964 Wed 12 May 2021 16:24:07 SAST ]]> A knowledge management framework for automotive component manufactures in the Eastern Cape https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:8606 Wed 12 May 2021 16:19:51 SAST ]]> Action competence and waste management: a case study of learner agency in two Grahamstown eco-schools https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:1956 Wed 12 May 2021 15:45:33 SAST ]]> A study of mathematics instructional practices in foundation phase grade three classrooms in East London https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:43146 Wed 09 Jun 2021 09:52:07 SAST ]]> Adventures with abalone : aquaculture, poaching, and fishery restoration https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:583 Wed 07 Jul 2021 11:21:52 SAST ]]> A Critical Analysis of the Role of School Governing Bodies in the Recruitment, Selection and Transfer of Educators in the Butterworth District https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:43616 Tue 29 Jun 2021 11:29:29 SAST ]]> A research tool for analysing and monitoring the Extent to which Environmental issues are integrated into teachers’ lessons https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:68142 Tue 26 Sep 2023 13:19:10 SAST ]]> "But what story?": a narrative-discursive analysis of "white" Afrikaners' accounts of male involvement in parenthood decision-making https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3025 40 years), which were then differentiated according to gender, reproductive status, and relationship status. Treating the interviews as jointly produced narratives, I analysed them by means of a performativity/performance lens. This dual analytic lens focuses on how particular narrative performances are simultaneously shaped by the interview setting and the broader discursive context. The lens was fashioned by synthesising Butler’s theory of performativity with Taylor’s narrative-discursive method. This synthesis (1) allows for Butler’s notion of “performativity” to be supplemented with that of “performance”; (2) provides a concrete analytical strategy in the form of positioning analysis; and (3) draws attention to both the micro politics of the interview conversation and the operation of power on the macro level, including the possibility of making “gender trouble”. The findings of the study suggest that the participants experienced difficulty narrating about male involvement in parenthood decision-making, owing to the taken for granted nature of parenthood for heterosexual adults. This was evident in participants’ sidelining of issues of “deciding” and “planning” and their alternate construal of childbearing as a non-choice, which, significantly served to bolster hetero-patriarchal norms. A central rhetorical tool for accomplishing these purposes was found in the construction of the “sacralised” child. In discursively manoeuvring around the central problematic, the participants ultimately produced a “silence” in the data that repeats the one in the research literature.]]> Tue 15 Aug 2023 16:06:17

–2.43 yr (n=86). Natural mortality was estimated at 0.17/yr. Age at maturity was estimated at 11 years for males and 15 years for females. Results of the demographic analysis showed that the population, in the absence of fishing mortality, was stable and not significantly different from zero and particularly sensitive to overfishing. At the current age at first capture and natural mortality rate, the fishing mortality rate required to result in negative population growth was low at F>0.004/ yr. Elasticity analysis revealed that juvenile survival was the principal factor in explaining variability in population growth rate.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 02:39:30 SAST ]]> A cut and paste identity : an investigation of reality TV's role in postmodern identity construction with special reference to ordinary people as celebrities https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:8383 Thu 13 May 2021 02:35:39 SAST ]]> An assessment of factors affecting the beneficiaries of land reform process with reference to the selected land redistribution projects in Cacadu District Municipality in the Province of the Eastern Cape. https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:8198 Thu 13 May 2021 02:34:33 SAST ]]> A forecasting model for photovoltaic module energy production https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10563 Thu 13 May 2021 02:27:18 SAST ]]> A participatory communication approach of rural cattle project: a case study of Nguni cattle project in the Eastern Cape, South Africa https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11370 Thu 13 May 2021 02:25:55 SAST ]]> 3000 miles from home: a new Gastrosericus baobabicus Pulawski, 1995 (Hymenoptera, Larridae) distribution record highlights that the Sahel has a distinct entomofaunal signature https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:6846 Thu 13 May 2021 02:24:04 SAST ]]> A theoretical study on the Alexander technique for the organ https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:8520 Thu 13 May 2021 01:50:46 SAST ]]> 'n Analise van die gebruik van satire in enkele tekste van Marlene van Niekerk https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:8477 Thu 13 May 2021 01:47:18 SAST ]]> A case study of the strategic leadership displayed by Kevin Hedderwick at Famous Brands between 2004-2009 https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:772 Thu 13 May 2021 01:37:34 SAST ]]> A critical analysis of Global Warning coverage in the National Geographic (2000-2010) https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:8381 Thu 13 May 2021 01:37:20 SAST ]]> An analysis of selected cartoons published during Zimbabwe's 2008 elections https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:8493 Thu 13 May 2021 01:35:43 SAST ]]> A case study of the implementation of science process skills for grades 4 to 7 learners in natural sciences in a South African primary school https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:9501 Thu 13 May 2021 01:29:41 SAST ]]> A legal-comparative study of the interpretation and application of the doctrines of the sham and the alter-ego in the context of South African trust law: the dangers of translocating company law principles into trust law https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3695 Thu 13 May 2021 01:22:26 SAST ]]> A study on the cultural adjustment of the domestic partners of German expatriates in the Nelson Mandela Bay automotive industry https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:16134 Thu 13 May 2021 01:11:13 SAST ]]> An analysis of business skills and training needs in the plastic manufacturing industry in the Eastern Cape Province https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11322 Thu 13 May 2021 01:11:02 SAST ]]> An art based support programme for the amelioration of general psychological distress in marginalised children in South Africa https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3096 Thu 13 May 2021 00:30:15 SAST ]]> A learning state?: a case study of the post-1994 South African welfare regime https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:3325 Thu 13 May 2021 00:25:26 SAST ]]> 'Carrying the fire' : Cormac McCarthy's moral philosophy https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2217 Thu 13 May 2021 00:10:51 SAST ]]> A framework for the application of network telescope sensors in a global IP network https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:4593 Thu 07 Jul 2022 20:21:17 SAST ]]> Aging, sex, death (and heavy metals) https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:589 Thu 07 Jul 2022 16:08:45 SAST ]]> An analysis of the influence of domestic macroeconomic variables on the performance of the South African stock market sectoral indices https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:954 Thu 06 Jul 2023 11:52:03 SAST ]]> A study of rural self-help groups in the context of government-assisted community development: the case of Peddie, Eastern Cape, South Africa. https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:43152 Fri 11 Jun 2021 15:02:22 SAST ]]> A white man in exile https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:49677 Fri 08 Apr 2022 10:44:41 SAST ]]>
