Item The causal relationship between foreign direct investment and economic growth in Namibia(Namibia University of Science and Technology, 2022-11-08) Sunde, TafirenyikaMost developing countries lack the resources needed for investment to improve their economic situations, create jobs, and achieve long term economic growth and development. Foreign direct investment (FDI) can easily transfer capital from capital abundant regions to countries with a scarcity of capital. This is one of the strategies used to address the capital scarcity problem faced by most developing countries.Item Consumers’ perception and satisfaction of rail transport service in an urban centre: The Namibian experience(Namibia University of Science and Technology, 2022-11-08) Semente, Efigenia; Tshoopara, Gloria; Silva, Jacinto; Chufama, MaxwellMost transportation service providers have reached crossroads, where it is crucial for them to satisfy consumers by providing them with the best facilities while at the same time providing low cost transportation with amenities, hence, assessing consumers’ perception of or attitudes towards transportation services is critical for competitive advantage.Item Applications of queuing systems with correlated reneging(Namibia University of Science and Technology, 2022-11-09) Kumar, RakeshItem Production of a national soil map and soil profile database of Namibia(Namibia University of Science and Technology, 2022-11-08) Coetzee, MarinaItem Hydrogen Hype - Curse or Blessing?(Namibia University of Science and Technology, 2022-11-08) Schütt, HaraldItem The fourth industrial revolution as a focus of research and innovation at NUST: Should we stay, or is it time to move on?(Namibia University of Science and Technology, 2022-11-08) Gold, Jane• While the Industrial Revolution and associated research focuses on the technology, is there more to development than this? • Can we really move forward with development without acknowledging the people power?Item Off-grid power supply based on green hydrogen storage potential: A case study of the NUST-SEED Living Lab at !Kharoxas(Namibia University of Science and Technology, 2022-11-08) Katende, James• TUM – Technical University of Munich • SEED – Sustainable Energies and Entrepreneurship for Development in the Global South • The Center offers higher education at the intersection of sustainable energies and entrepreneurship • The Center’s research contributes to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – specifically UN SDG 7 ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030 • The Center has 8 partner universities located in 8 countries in the Global SouthItem Urban mobility in African cities(Namibia University of Science and Technology, 2022-11-08) Nyamai, Dorcas NthokiThe places of necessity that can be reached and the potential life that an individual can build/achieve are all in one way or the other linked to mobility and how we spatially organize our cities.Item Critical cartographies of the green hydrogen rush in Namibia(Namibia University of Science and Technology, 2022-11-08) Monteith, WilliamExplores historical and contemporary (dis)connections between the twin global crises of unemployment and ecological collapse Critically examines recent investments in ‘green frontier’ industries and the ‘green jobs’ they are predicted to create (24 million by 2030) Seeks to understand how the benefits of the green hydrogen economy will be distributed along the value chain Project team: Prof. Kavita Datta, Prof. Nicola Piper, Prof. Adrian Smith, Prof. Liam Campling , Dr. Elena Baglioni, Dr. Carlo Inverardi Ferri , Dr. Will MonteithItem A bibliography: The urban question in Namibia(Namibia University of Science and Technology, 2022-11-08) Olwage, Elsemi• Research on urbanisation, urban development and urban socio-spatial dynamics remains limited and underfunded. • A strong need to foster an urban research agenda • First step: A bibliography of existing literature on urban development in NamibiaItem Presentation and Discussion Session by the Directorate of Research, Innovation and Partnerships (DRIP)(Namibia University of Science and Technology, 2022-11-08) Munyayi, RennieItem Academic welcoming by Prof. Tjama Tjivikua, Founding Vice-Chancellor, Namibia University of Science and Technology, 16 January 2019(Namibia University of Science and Technology, 2019-01-16) Tjivikua, TjamaItem Juvenile delinquency and juvenile justice: Causes of crime and delinquency in Namibia - Readings from data on age-crime distribution.(2014) Schulz, StefanThis presentation is going to explore, under the broad title “Juvenile Delinquency and Juvenile Justice” child crime in Namibia, its prevalence and incidence with reference to data from selected magisterial districts. Addressed will be the age-crime distribution for Windhoek, Mariental, Oshakati, Ondangwa, and Opuwo, those distributions assessed against the backdrop of Terry E. Moffit’s dual taxonomic theory of anti-social behaviour. This hall provide us with some insight as to where child crime occurs mostly, and also whether and under what circumstances it can be expected that some child offenders are led into chronic criminality, as opposed to the large majority of delinquents who will desist spontaneously upon reaching late adolescence, and what – accordingly – an appropriate meaningful social other than punishment/cj-reaction should be.Item From analysis to action: A snapshot of the Namibian inmate population - work in progress.(2013) Schulz, Stefan; Bruyns, HennieGauging the actual offender population through a comprehensive inmate surveyItem Disability mainstreaming: The Namibian legal framework and skills training.(2012) Manombe-Ncube, AlexciaItem State of IFRS in Namibia.
