The promotion of psychological well-being of caregivers at childrens' homes in the greater Durban area
… secondary consideration was the positive cascade effect it had on the children under then-care. The research design comprised an experimental and control group. A psychological intervention was implemented and the Maslach burnout inventory (1986) was used to measure the well-being outcomes. This …

Supporting social work supervisors through coaching with compassion: The potential use of Intentional Change Theory (ICT)
… of factors emanating from the macro level has a cascading effect on meso and micro-level factors, directly impacting the supervisor. This has resulted in the supervisor facing daily crises, consequently, the supervisor is in a perpetual state of anxiety, with constant trials forcing a …

From Logs to Causal Analysis: A Guided User Interface for Causal Graph Discovery
… off of Sawmill’s answers on average treatment effect (ATE), this will be integrated into the user’s causal graph and can cause even more errors further down the line. In this master’s thesis, we extend Sawmill’s capability by identifying and presenting key assumptions which greatly impact …

Statistical Analysis of Resilience Distribution and Application to Rural Electric Distribution System subjected to Hurricane Wind
… and individually feature zero redundancy and cascading effect, and slow recovery due to low socio-economic resources and geospatially sparse customers make it less resilient. This study thus proposes a fully probabilistic and analytical measurement framework for assessing the resilience of …

Lived experience of the non-medical use of tramadol among people in Ghana: an interpretative phenomenological analysis.
… evidence on contributing factors, social effects, rehabilitation and support for the non-medical use of tramadol, and to identify gaps in the international evidence base. To address some of the identified gaps, an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was employed to explore the lived …

Biophysical interactions and stability at salt marsh margins
… of lateral retreat, but suggests that this cascading effect is strongly affected by biophysical feedbacks. Thus, the identification of locations of structural ‘weakness’ at the between-site and within-site scales could provide a conceptual framework for better understanding and prediction of …

Analysis of a Major Electric Grid – Stability and Adaptive Protection
… grid are designed to detect and mitigate the effects of faults and other disturbances that may occur. Distance relays are used extensively for the detection of faults on transmission lines. Out-of-step relays are used for generator protection to detect loss of synchronism conditions that …

Problems on decision making under uncertainty
… interdependence between several networks and the cascading effect of a single recovery action on these networks, we also fuse the traditional optimization approaches, such as simulated annealing, to compute efficient decisions, which mitigates the simultaneous spatial and temporal evolution of the …

Integrated System Model Reliability Evaluation and Prediction for Electrical Power Systems: Graph Trace Analysis Based Solutions
… computationally handling dependent outages and cascading failures. The effects of adverse weather, time-varying loads, equipment age, installation environment, operation conditions are considered. Sequential Monte Carlo simulation is used to evaluate the reliability changes for different system …

Global change drivers and their impact on herbaceous, ant, and grasshopper assemblages in an African semi-arid savanna
… and decreasing herbaceous species richness. The effects of global change drivers on savanna vegetation are also likely to propagate through to multiple trophic levels, with changes in vegetation structure cascading down to invertebrate assemblages. As invertebrates are ubiquitous, form the bulk …

Development of co-disposal methods for coal discards and fine waste for the prevention of acid mine drainage
… with high acid producing potential but can be effectively utilised to construct structurally stable beds. In these beds, large voids are formed between the particles that facilitate the transport of oxygen and water to the sulphide mineral surfaces. Co-packing FW with sulphide-rich CD provides …
