Abstract

Pre-amble: This document is written in the format of a “Masters by manuscript”, as per the requirements of the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s research office. The transition away from “Masters by dissertation” has been made in 2017, by the University of KwaZulu-Natal, in order to encourage students to publish their work, thereby, making more of the research conducted for degree purposes accessible to the public, to aid in the transfer of knowledge. The university’s formatting requirements can be found under attachment A. The research articles have been referenced according to the guidelines of the journals to which they will be submitted. The rest of the document, for consistency, has been referenced according to the guidelines of the second journal article; an adapted Harvard referencing system. These guidelines can be found in Appendix J
