Some aspects of British interest in Egypt in the late 18th century (1775-1798)

This PhD research explores the multifaceted British interest in Egypt during the period of 1775 to 1798. While not exhaustive, the study highlights the interconnectedness of British engagement with Egypt, examining various facets such as the influence of the Levant Company, antiquarian research, and perceptions of Arab life and literature. It also delves into the impressions of British travelers, political and commercial interests, the significance of Egypt in the context of trade routes to India, and international competition for commerce via Egypt.

Songwriting: Concepts and Craft

This undergraduate course, Songwriting: Concepts and Craft, offered by the School of Music, focuses on developing the skills and knowledge needed to write songs in various contemporary popular styles. It explores songwriting as a creative practice with its own history and context, incorporating theory and method. The course provides a historical overview of major eras and styles of popular songwriting, including perspectives from outside the anglosphere. Students will also analyze the musical theory and methods that underpin songs from these periods. The aim is to equip students with the ability to create their own portfolio of original popular songs.

Sophisticated Tax Evasion by the Super-Rich

Research conducted by LSE Assistant Professor of Economics, Daniel Reck, and colleagues, reveals that sophisticated tax evasion by the wealthiest individuals is significantly more prevalent than previously understood. The top one percent of earners in the US, for instance, fail to report approximately 21% of their income to the IRS. This level of non-compliance is substantially higher than earlier estimates, which relied on data from random audits that are less effective at detecting the complex evasion methods employed by high-income taxpayers. The study highlights two primary methods: offshore tax evasion, often involving hidden accounts in countries with banking secrecy, and evasion through "pass-through businesses," where income is routed to owners for tax purposes in ways that are difficult for auditors to trace. These sophisticated strategies mean that the actual tax gap for the top 0.1% of earners is roughly double what conventional estimates suggest. This research has crucial implications not only for potential government revenue generation but also for the accurate measurement of economic inequality, suggesting that overall inequality is greater than reflected in standard income statistics.

Source Panel Method

This course module focuses on the Source Panel Method, a computational technique used in aerodynamics to analyze fluid flow around airfoils. It explains the fundamental principles of source flow, including its incompressible and irrotational nature, and derives the velocity and potential functions for a point source. The core of the module details how to apply the Source Panel Method by discretizing the airfoil surface into panels, each with a distributed source strength. It outlines the process of calculating the total velocity potential around the airfoil by summing the contributions from each panel. The method's objective is to determine the source strengths that, when combined with a uniform freestream, generate the desired flow streamlines and pressure distributions around the airfoil. This involves setting up and solving a system of linear algebraic equations based on boundary conditions.

South African Census 1996, 10% Sample

The South African Census 1996 10% Sample provides detailed demographic, social, and economic data for South Africa, based on the census conducted between October 9-10, 1996. This dataset is a valuable resource for researchers and students interested in the characteristics of the South African population during the post-apartheid era. The census aimed to enumerate every person, household, and institution within South Africa, excluding foreign diplomats. The 10% sample allows for in-depth analysis of various topics, including household characteristics (dwelling type, home ownership, assets, access to services), individual characteristics (age, population group, language, religion, citizenship, migration, fertility, mortality, disability), and economic activities (employment, unemployment). Produced by Statistics South Africa and distributed by DataFirst at the University of Cape Town, this anonymised dataset is ideal for academic research, policy analysis, and understanding the socio-economic landscape of South Africa in the mid-1990s.

South African Police Service Annual Crime Records 2008-2023

This dataset, produced by the South African Police Service (SAPS) and distributed by DataFirst at the University of Cape Town, provides comprehensive annual crime records for South Africa from 2008 to 2023. It serves as a vital resource for researchers, policymakers, and students interested in crime trends and statistics within the country. The data is categorized into five broad crime types: contact crimes, contact-related crimes, property-related crimes, other serious crimes, and crimes detected by police action. This detailed breakdown allows for in-depth analysis of various criminal activities reported to or detected by the SAPS. The dataset is built from administrative records, specifically crime dockets, and reflects the number of charges or counts rather than individual case dockets. It includes crime figures at the police station level, which can be aggregated to provincial and national levels, offering a granular view of crime distribution. The most recent version (1.1) enhances utility by incorporating district and local municipality variables from the StatsSA Police District shapefile (Census 2022), alongside GIS coordinate variables, enabling robust spatial and time-series analysis.

South African Standard Classification of Occupations (SASCO)

The South African Standard Classification of Occupations (SASCO) provides a systematic framework for classifying occupations in South Africa. This program page illustrates the assignment of major occupational groups to specific skill levels, ranging from Skill Level 1 to Skill Level 4. It also provides a detailed list of various roles, particularly within legislative, senior official, and managerial categories, alongside their corresponding SASCO codes. This resource is valuable for understanding the structure of the South African labor market and for purposes such as employment statistics, career guidance, and policy development.
