Understanding Students' Perceptions of Plagiarism Within the Discipline of Geography in the University of KwaZulu-Natal
The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence has refuelled the decades-long debates surrounding academic integrity in scholarship. In the 21st century, as a multifaceted phenomenon, plagiarism now extends beyond mere copy-and-paste behaviour to include recycling assignments and incorporating AI-generated works. With the academic misconduct domino effect, such as plagiarism behaviour, having severe consequences for students, academics, and higher…
Unequal Burdens: How Socio-Demographic Variables Shape the Environmental, Health, and Socio-Economic Effects of Illegal Waste Dumping
Illegal waste dumping (IWD) remains a major challenge for many developing municipalities, contributing to environmental degradation, public health risks, and socio-economic burdens. This study aims to assess the environmental, health, and socio-economic impacts of IWD and to examine the influence of socio-demographic variables (gender, education, age, and income) on perceived impacts. Primary data was collected through a quantitative survey of 38…
What sort of justice for what sort of urban development? A systematic review and content analysis of urban regeneration programmes
Urban regeneration interventions are known for attracting local and foreign investment in cities to improve neighbourhoods; however, the ongoing increase in these interventions has been associated with gentrification and the displacement of minority groups. With the growing scholarship on justice and urban transformation, this paper contributes to this literature by providing a systematic review and content analysis that examines how the concept …
Land use and land cover change dynamics and local perception in the Dolphin Coast, KwaZulu-Natal
The Earth’s land cover is continuously modified by changes in land use driven by anthropogenic and biophysical factors. Anthropogenic activities play a dominant role in altering natural landscapes and resources, often leading to adverse environmental and socio-economic implications. Like many developing nations, South Africa has experienced rapid urbanisation, population, and economic growth, particularly in areas with high economic potential. Un…
Evaluation of Environmental and Neighborhood Satisfaction Across the Socio-demographic Gradients Using in-situ and Geospatial Data
Residential satisfaction assessment has exponentially grown over the past decades, yet scant attention has focused on inferring geospatial methods to statistical tools based on residential satisfaction questionnaire data. This has resulted in urban planning strategies neglecting environmental structures to improve residents’ overall wellbeing as geospatial data allows for objective characterization of these physical, environmental characteristics…
Factors Associated with Healthcare Utilization Among Adults in Saudi Arabia During the Covid-19 Pandemic
To investigate factors associated with healthcare utilization by adults in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on Andersen’s Behavioral Model of Health Services utilization, we conducted logistic regressions to determine the relationship between predisposing factors (age, gender, education, employment status), need factors (critical medical needs), and enabling factors (insurance coverage, financial loss) on heal…
Social media information and its association with the adoption of Covid-19 preventive measures in four Latin American countries
Objective: The study aimed to assess the association between adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures and access to media information related to COVID-19. Methods: A multi-country, cross-sectional study using an online survey was conducted from June to December 2020. The sample included 1,457 participants from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. The outcome variable was self-reported adherence to preventive measures (handwashing, social distan…
Factors Associated With Experiences of Fear, Anxiety, Depression, and Changes in Sleep Pattern During the Covid-19 Pandemic Among Adults in Nigeria: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background Multiple facets of the pandemic can be a source of fear, depression, anxiety and can cause changes in sleep patterns. The aim of this study was to identify health profiles and the COVID-19 pandemic related factors associated with fear, depression, anxiety and changes in sleep pattern in adults in Nigeria. Methods The data for this analysis was extracted from a cross-sectional online survey that collected information about mental health…
Is self-reported depression, HIV status, Covid-19 health risk profile and Sars-CoV-2 exposure associated with difficulty in adhering to Covid-19 prevention measures among residents in West Africa
The study signifies a disparity in the access to and use of COVID-19 preventative measures that is allied to the health and COVID-19 status of residents in West Africa. Present findings point to risk compensation behaviours in explaining this outcome
Mapping the spatial distribution of the yellowwood tree ( Podocarpus henkelii ) in the Weza-Ngele forest using the newly launched Sentinel-2 multispectral imager data
The conservation of indigenous tree species is not only significant for the natural heritage, but for conserving numerous species that are heavily dependent on these trees for survival. Remotely sensed data have been proven to be an effective tool for enumeration monitoring of vegetation resources. However, the utility of freely available new generation multispectral sensors with improved spatial and spectral resolutions still needs to be underst…
Factors Associated with Financial Security, Food Security and Quality of Daily Lives of Residents in Nigeria during the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic
An online survey was conducted to identify factors associated with financial insecurity, food insecurity and poor quality of daily lives of adults in Nigeria during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The associations between the outcome (experience of financial loss, changes in food intake and impact of the pandemic on daily lives) and the explanatory (age, sex, education level, anxiety, depression, HIV status) variables were determined usi…
Differences in Covid-19 Preventive Behavior and Food Insecurity by HIV Status in Nigeria
Socially sustainable urban renewal in emerging economies: A comparison of Magdolna Quarter, Budapest, Hungary and Albert Park, Durban, South Africa
This study compares the social sustainability of urban renewal interventions in Hungary and South Africa. The societal and environmental challenges arising from urbanisation and the associated population growth in major urban centres around the world have increased the research and policy foci on urban sustainability and governance. While urban regeneration projects are vitally important to urban sustainability, these interventions have been wide…
