Kerk, staat en politieke modelle in ‘Kerk en Samelewing -1990’

Church, state and political models in ‘Church and Society - 1990’ In this article the author looks into motives and trends surrounding the viewpoints of the document ‘Church and Society - 1990’ with regard to the relationship between both the church and the state and the church and practical political models in South Africa. This document of the 1990 General Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church - traditionally labelled as a significant pro-apartheid church - is the sequel to a statement by a previous Synod four years earlier. The main finding is that ‘Church and Society - 1990’ tends to give a Scriptural basis to current political tendencies and thinking in South African government circles.

Achievement Test Item Analysis: A Comparison of Traditional and Modern Methods

One of the great advantages of the modern approach to item and test analysis, namely, the Item Response Theory (IRT) over the traditional Classical Test Theory (CTT) is that item statistics such as the difficulty index and the discrimination index are not sample dependent. Very few research findings using IRT models have been published locally. Hoffman is one of the small group of researchers who have implemented IRT models in South Africa. The purpose of the present study was to compare CTT and IRT item and test analysis. Data from the multiple choice part of the 1988 examination paper on research methodology for 538 undergraduate UNISA Industrial Psychology students were used. Results showed that corresponding interpretations of item statistics (CTT) and item parameters (IRT) was possible under the two approaches. More or less the same conclusions could also be drawn with regard to evaluation of test statistics. The near-perfect correlation between test scores (CTT) and ability estimates (IRT) for the one-parameter model indicates that a great similarity exists between them.

Apartheid in South Africa and industrial deconcentration in the PWV area

The growth centre concept has formed the cornerstone of industrial development policy since Apartheid was introduced as a constitutional model in South Africa in 1948. A number of ‘growth points’ were identified in, or adjacent to Bantustans by the government over the years. The intention with these designated ‘growth points’ was two‐fold: to serve as counter‐magnets to encourage industrial decentralization from the major urban centres and to act as a political instrument to discourage blacks to leave Bantustans. Serious deficiences in the government's present industrial development policy are underlined — especially its underlying function to continue the segregation practices of the past — despite repeated indications by the government in recent years of its intention to move away from the concept of Apartheid. Obvious similarities between the so‐called ‘deconcentration points’ adjacent to the Pretoria‐Witwatersrand‐Vaal (PWV) Triangle megalopolis which were announced by the state in 1981 and the origin...

The Longevity of Cambridge Sportsmen

<h3>Background</h3> Countries around the world seek innovative ways of closing their remaining gaps towards the target of 95% of people living with HIV (PLHIV) knowing their status by 2030. Offering kits allowing HIV self-testing (HIVST) in private might help close these gaps. <h3>Methods</h3> We analysed the cost, use and linkage to onward care of 11 HIVST kit distribution models alongside the Self-Testing AfRica Initiative’s distribution of 2.2 million HIVST kits in South Africa in 2018/2019. Outcomes were based on telephonic surveys of 4% of recipients; costs on a combination of micro-costing, time-and-motion and expenditure analysis. Costs were calculated from the provider perspective in 2019 US$, as incremental costs in integrated and full costs in standalone models. <h3>Results</h3> HIV positivity among kit recipients was 4%–23%, with most models achieving 5%–6%. Linkage to confirmatory testing and antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation for those screening positive was 19%–78% and 2%–72% across models. Average costs per HIVST kit distributed varied between $4.87 (sex worker model) and $18.07 (mobile integration model), with differences largely driven by kit volumes. HIVST kit costs (at $2.88 per kit) and personnel costs were the largest cost items throughout. Average costs per outcome increased along the care cascade, with the sex worker network model being the most cost-effective model across metrics used (cost per kit distributed/recipient screening positive/confirmed positive/initiating ART). Cost per person confirmed positive for HIVST was higher than standard HIV testing. <h3>Conclusion</h3> HIV self-test distribution models in South Africa varied widely along four characteristics: distribution volume, HIV positivity, linkage to care and cost. Volume was highest in models that targeted public spaces with high footfall (flexible community, fixed point and transport hub distribution), followed by workplace models. Transport hub, workplace and sex worker models distributed kits in the least costly way. Distribution via index cases at facility as well as sex worker network distribution identified the highest number of PLHIV at lowest cost.
