“…Conventional MPPT systems have already been installed in modules using a microcontroller [9][10][11]. Therefore, all of the MPPT ICs have been designed by using the VHDL hardware description language included in the A/D converter.…”

Tracking the Maximum Power Point (MPP) of a photovoltaic (PV) array is usually an essential part of a PV system. The problem addressed by Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) techniques is to find the voltage V MPP or current I MPP at which a PV array should operate to generate the maximum power output P MPP under a given temperature and irradiance. MPPT control methods such as the perturb and observe method and the incremental conductance method require a microprocessor or DSP to determine if the duty cycle should be increased or not. This paper proposes a simple and fast analog MPPT method. The proposed control scheme tracks the MPP very quickly and its hardware implementation is simple when compared with the conventional techniques. The new algorithm can successfully track the MPP even in the case of rapidly changing atmospheric conditions. In addition, it has higher efficiency than ordinary algorithms.

“…In postcolonial countries such as Uganda and Tanzania, the cost-sharing model has been utilised in conjunction with a private system and there are therefore two distinct tiers of institutions in those countries (Ishengoma 2004;Marcucci, Johnstone, and Ngolovoi 2008). Marcucci, Johnstone and Ngolovoi (2008) argue that this system further entrenches inequalities because, even though everyone has access to higher education, the quality differs fundamentally and there are obstacles to the level of access because of the stringent minimum requirements one has to meet to gain entry.…”

This article reflects on the successes and failures of student protests in transforming higher education in South Africa through a Marxist lens. The slow pace of change by the government in addressing structural and systemic inequalities has led to disgruntlement within the student body. In their quest to hasten the process, students engaged in protests across the country, inspired by the #RhodesMustFall movement. This article outlines the problematic areas that have led to the unrest and reflects on the #FeesMustFall movement: the lessons learnt and its impact on contemporary higher education. The reflection further unpacks what it means to be a student in South Africa and how the learning process shapes and is shaped by the student movements within universities. The study reviewed existing literature on the #FeesMustFall movement to better understand the influence of student protests on government policy and to evaluate whether any protest-based changes have occurred in higher education in South Africa.

“…Despite these developments, little is known about how governance matters are reflected in the UA2005 and university charters, and their implications for overall university governance. Rather, previous research on higher learning institutions in Tanzania has tended to focus on cost sharing (Ishengoma, 2004a(Ishengoma, , 2004b, widening participation (Morley et al, 2010;Morley & Lussier, 2009) and the history of the University of Dar es Salaam (Kimambo et al, 2008). Whilst these are important matters, appraisal of the overall governance of HE institutions is lacking.…”

Little is known about governance frameworks of universities in developing countries. In response, this paper presents content analysis undertaken to review the governance frameworks of public universities in Tanzania, encompassing the Universities Act, 2005, the Universities (General) Regulations, 2013 and the charters of ten public universities. In order to understand the changes that have taken place, individual acts of parliament relating to public universities prior to 2005 are also reviewed. The analysis reveals that changes to universities’ governance frameworks through enactment of the Universities Act, 2005 have substantially increased both the institutional and operational autonomy of public universities. At the country level, the Act established the Tanzania Commission for Universities as a regulatory body and removed the government from direct control of public universities. At the institutional level, the Act allowed the establishment of a council and a senate as the two principal organs of governance primarily responsible for academic, administrative and financial university matters, and authorized the inclusion of both internal and external stakeholders on these two bodies. The governance requirements of the Act are reflected particularly in universities’ charters, with representation of staff, women, students and the private sector. This paper relies on analysis of governance frameworks, so actual governance practices may differ from the documentary evidence, yet this is one of few studies of the governance of higher learning institutions in developing countries, which are less represented in the university governance literature overall.
