Institute
The automotive industry with its dealerships in South Africa, has the potential to contribute to domestic economic growth, create jobs and stimulate economic competition. However, the industry faces several challenges that affect its long-term viability, organisational outcome and sustainability. Employee exposure to psychological stress and insufficient job resources impact negatively on engagement and organisational outcome. This study examined the influence of job demands and job resources on employee work engagement and work engagement on the sustainability of car dealerships in South Africa. It identified a gap in the literature in the correlation between work engagement and its impact on organisational sustainability outcomes. Against this background, the primary objective of this study was to measure the effect of engagement on the sustainability of car dealerships in South Africa. A quantitative research paradigm was applied and a sample of sales and service employees working in dealerships in South Africa was drawn. An online survey was conducted and a total of 375 usable questionnaires were returned for statistical analysis. The validity of the scales was confirmed using Cronbach’s alpha values for the individual study variables. The validity of the scales was confirmed using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The collected data were also subjected to several statistical analyses. These included descriptive statistics, Pearson’s product moment correlations, multiple regression analysis (MRA) and the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The majority of the respondents agreed regarding their experience of work engagement at the dealerships. The regression analyses showed that mental demands, social support and autonomy have significant positive influence on work engagement. A significant positive correlation was also identified between work engagement and sustainability. The results also showed that some of the demographic variables examined in this study had significant impact on the level of work engagement. In light of the findings of this study, several recommendations were made to increase the level of work engagement of employees and the sustainability of the dealerships in order to support the achievement of the company’s goals and visions.

Anhand von Experteninterviews werden die mit der Einführung
der Software zu erwartenden Effekte auf die Arbeit der Integrierten
Regionalleitstelle und des Rettungsdienstes dargestellt.
Die Ergebnisse der inhaltlich strukturierenden qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse
zeigen, dass sich alle befragten Experten eine deutliche Zunahme der
Informationstransparenz und eine damit verbundene Stressreduzierung
mit einer verbesserten Versorgungssicherheit der Patienten vorstellen
können, da die enge Einbindung der Kliniken in die direkte Informationsverteilung
als besondere Verbesserung des derzeitigen Verfahrens erkannt
wurde. Die Einführung der IVENA-MANV-Software wird von den
befragten Beamten als Fortschritt angesehen, weil sie sich positiv auf
den Informationsfluss zwischen allen am Einsatz beteiligten Institutionen
und damit auch auf die Versorgungsqualität der Patienten auswirken
kann.
: The breadth of material this book covers includes wide range of issues related to aquaculture production, including its development history, farming systems and technology aspects, seed production, feed and feeding, health management, genetics and selective breeding, climate change impacts, etc., with a focus on the Southeast Asian region of Thailand and Vietnam. The information within the textbook provides both first-hand knowledge and a systematic collection of information from the latest scientific sources on aquaculture. While this book has been written primarily to meet the needs of undergraduate and master students in the field of aquaculture, we hope that it will also be useful to a wider audience.
In this paper a new time-frequency transform based on the constant-Q transform, named as adaptive quality frequency transform (AQFT), is proposed. The AQFT is a non-uniform transform with logarithmically spaced center frequencies. The CQT offers a computational disadvantage due to the large number of samples needed to assure the quality and the desired resolution at the lower frequency range. The AQFT addresses this problem precisely and limits the number of samples required by a comparable frequency division. Finally, computer simulations are provided to illustrate the performance of the proposed algorithm. According to the simulation results, the accuracy and the processing time of the AQFT and of traditional time-frequency analysis methods such as the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), the Signal Derivate FFT (SD-FFT) and the wavelet packet transform (WPT) are contrasted.
In einer Online-Umfrage wurden Beschäftigte der Behindertenhilfe in Deutschland zu ihrer Medienkompetenz, Lernstrategien und den Prioritäten im Hinblick auf ein zu erprobendes berufsbegleitendes Weiterbildungsprogramm befragt. Entgegen der in der Literatur konstatierten gering ausgeprägten Medienerfahrung bei den Beschäftigten dieses Handlungsfeldes zeigen die Ergebnisse das Gegenteil auf. Nahezu alle Befragten verfügten über Smartphones und nutzten die Handlungsmöglichkeiten des Internets. Hinsichtlich der Lernstrategien verdeutlichen die Ergebnisse, dass das Zeitmanagement die wichtigste Herausforderung für eine Teilnahme an einer berufsbegleitenden Weiterbildungsmaßnahme darstellt. Gleichzeitig unterstreichen die Prioritätssetzungen der Befragten das Erfordernis für die weitere Projektdurchführung die Verknüpfung der Inhalte mit der Fachlichkeit von Heilerziehungspflege und Heilpädagogik stärker herauszuarbeiten.
The book is designed, to serve as a textbook for students in fisheries, mainly in aquaculture. The book covers: Meaning of environmental managemet, processes (management, main, support) and process maps, ISO 14001, EMAS, ISO 19011; legal framework in environmental protection; (internal) environmental audit; determination and evaluation of environmental aspects, creation of process and work instructions.
The integrated excercises are mostly skill oriented and will prepare the reader to act in coherence with the environmental management system of their (future) employers.
