Der Autor untersucht den gesellschaftlichen Beitrag, den zwei schwarze Studentenorganisationen im Kampf gegen die Apartheid geleistet haben: den South African National Students' Congress (SANSCO, vormals Azanian Students' Organisation, AZASO) und die mit Steve Biko und Black Consciousness verbundene South African Students' Organisation (SASO). Vor dem Hintergrund ihrer sozialen Verankerung, ihrer politisch-ideologischen Orientierungen und ihrer internen Organisation versucht der Autor zu erklären, warum und auf welche Weise sich die Studenten engagierten. Er kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass SASO und SANSCO revolutionäre Studentenorganisationen waren, die die schwarzen Studenten als soziale Kraft im nationalen Befreiungskampf organisierten. Sie hätten als Katalysatoren politischer Bildung und kollektiver Aktionen gewirkt und so zur Erosion des Systems der Apartheid beigetragen. Schwarze Studenten seien nicht nur Opfer der Apartheid gewesen, sondern auch Agenten ihrer Überwindung. (DÜI-Sbd)
In the recent past, the Government of Pakistan has undertaken certain appreciable initiatives in the electrical power sector, which is undergoing an extensive reform and restructuring process, particularly in the areas of decarbonisation and deregulation. Although Pakistan is blessed with abundant natural energy resources, a significant percentage of the population remains without electricity access since the expansion of the centralised grid is uneconomical due to certain reasons, including but not limited to limited financial resources and a scattered population. In this regard, micro/mini-grid (MG) deployment offers an excellent opportunity to address this problem, improve the life quality of the people of Pakistan, and help improve the economy. The study is predominately based on simulation and analysis-based research methods wherein the techno-economic analysis is performed keeping in view the technical and commercial aspects and also MG impacts on Pakistan's power grid and prospective customers of MGs. According to this study's findings, in comparison to fossil fuel-based MGs, renewable energy-dominated MGs offer a lucrative investment opportunity/financial viability and also contribute to reducing adverse effects on the environment. Even though MGs present a costeffective solution for the remote unelectrified areas of Pakistan, they may suffer from technical issues if not properly designed. Direct current MGs and the application of MGs for irrigation purposes present interesting cases with respect to reducing the overall cost of energy. Some of the important factors to be considered to evaluate the feasibility of MGs are the electricity demand pattern, supply reliability requirement, discount rate, and project lifetime, among other things. There is an urgent need for a comprehensive policy and regulatory framework since the existing one is insufficient to effectively upscale MGs deployment in Pakistan. While assessing electricity provision options for remote unelectrified areas of Pakistan, the electricity planners must consider and evaluate MGs before proposing huge investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure. One of the important considerations is to align the design of MGs with the affordability for the customers in each specific geographical area, to create a win-win situation for all the stakeholders.
تهدف الدراسة إلى التعرف على أثر الانظمة الانتخابية على ترشح الأحزاب السياسية للانتخابات النيابية بصفة حزبية معلنة وعلى نسبة تمثيلها في مجلس النواب خلال الفترة من 1989 الى 2016. من خلال الاجابة عن الاسئلة الآتية: ما أثر الانظمة الانتخابية التي طبقها الأردن على ترشح الأحزاب السياسية بصفة حزبية معلنة في الانتخابات النيابية؟ ما أثر الانظمة الانتخابية التي طبقها الأردن على نسبة تمثيل الأحزاب في مجلس النواب؟ واستخدمت الدراسة منهج تحليل النظم لتحليل العلاقة بين متغيراتها حيث مثلت أنواع النظم الانتخابية التي طبقها الأردن المتغير المستقل وهي على ثلاثة أنواع الاغلبي والنسبي والمختلط، فيما مثل ترشح الأحزاب بصفة حزبية معلنة ونسبة تمثيل الأحزاب في مجلس النواب المتغير التابع. وقد خرجت الدراسة بمجموعة من النتائج من أهمها: أن هناك علاقة إيجابية واضحة بين النظام الانتخابي المختلط وزيادة نسبة ترشح الأحزاب بصفة حزبية معلنة وزيادة نسبة تمثيلها في مجلس النواب. ; The study aims to identify the impact of the electoral systems on political parties' nomination for election and their rate of representation in the parliament in Jordan during the period from 1989 to 2016, through answering the following questions: - What is the effect of the electoral systems on the announced nomination of political parties' candidates in the parliamentary elections? - What is the effect of the electoral systems on the rate of representation of the political parties in the Parliament? System analysis method was used to analyze the relationship between variables of the study, in which the three electoral systems: the majority, the proportional and the mixed systems implemented in Jordan represented the independent variable, and the rate of announced political parties' candidates' nomination for elections and the rate of the political parties' representation in the parliament were the dependent variable. The study revealed a set of results, the most important of which were that; there was a positive relationship between the mixed electoral system and raising the rate of the announced political parties' candidates and the rate of the political parties' representation in the Parliament.
