Detecting the Presence of Covid-19 Vaccination Hesitancy From South African Twitter Data Using Machine Learning
Very few social media studies have been done on South African user-generated content during the COVID-19 pandemic and even fewer using hand-labeling over automated methods. Vaccination is a major tool in the fight against the pandemic, but vaccine hesitancy jeopardizes any public health effort. In this study, sentiment analysis on South African tweets related to vaccine hesitancy was performed, with the aim of training AI-mediated classification …
Invulnerability and the Cartography of Resistance to Imperialism
Pursuit of invulnerability proliferated in the modern era when individuals took objects into battle or followed practices promising immunity from harm. Western contemporaries wrote off these beliefs as primitive, and later scholars minimized their importance, arguing that colonial authorities exaggerated invulnerability to obscure economic grievances. To date, invulnerability has gained attention for its role in millenarianism. Adopting a case st…
Management of hospital beds and ventilators in the Gauteng province, South Africa, during the Covid-19 pandemic
We conducted an observational retrospective study on patients hospitalized with COVID-19, during March 05, 2020, to October 28, 2021, and developed an agent-based model to evaluate effectiveness of recommended healthcare resources (hospital beds and ventilators) management strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic in Gauteng, South Africa. We measured the effectiveness of these strategies by calculating the number of deaths prevented by implementin…
Development of an Early Alert System for an Additional Wave of Covid-19 Cases Using a Recurrent Neural Network with Long Short-Term Memory
The impact of the still ongoing "Coronavirus Disease 2019" (COVID-19) pandemic has been and is still vast, affecting not only global human health and stretching healthcare facilities, but also profoundly disrupting societal and economic systems worldwide. The nature of the way the virus spreads causes cases to come in further recurring waves. This is due a complex array of biological, societal and environmental factors, including the novel nature…
From Nationalism to National Indifference: Binary Logic and Sense of Time
The vast body of inquiry into nationalism has traditionally seen Europe as a main center for the emergence of nationalism, but scholars of “national indifference” have countered with the idea that nationalism may not matter much at all as a motive for most people. The concept of national indifference calls into question the power of nationalism as a motive for action and the mass appeal of nationalism. Studies of national indifference have constr…
Refugees and the End of Empire: Imperial Collapse and Forced Migration in the Twentieth Century, ed. Panikos Panayi and Pippa Virdee
A collection of essays based on a conference, Refugees and the End of Empire provides a clear guide to the connection between imperial collapse and forced migration and represents an innovative step toward global comparative analysis. The essays track the end of empires and the multiple ensuing waves of forced migration in the twentieth century. The main parts of the collection provide narrative and analysis of the phenomena of imperial collapse …

The Meanings and Function of Anti-System Ideology in the Weimar Republic
The Meanings and Function of Anti-System Ideology in the Weimar Republic Ben Lieberman There are few, if any, ideological terms in the extensive historiography of the Weimar Republic so omnipresent and yet at the same time so obscure as the word “system.” Historical accounts of the Weimar Republic are strewn with references to the “system.” In recent works on the Weimar Republic Hagen Schulze points to the opposition of bourgeois (bürgerliche) pa…
