THE IMPACT OF MATERIAL IRREGULARITY PROVISIONS OF THE PUBLIC AUDIT ACT ON ACCOUNTABILITY, OVERSIGHT AND GOVERNANCE IN THE NORTHERN CAPE PROVINCE OF SOUTH AFRICA

Background: A lot of research on audit-related services and accountability in the international and African contexts has been conducted.However, none of those empirical investigations have been done in the South African context, focussing specifically, on how the material irregularity (MI) of the recently amended Public Audit Act impacts accountabi

The pursuit of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors began in earnest over three decades ago.Initial clinical trials were disappointing, resulting in a negative view of MMPs as therapeutic targets.As a better understanding of MMP biology and inhibitor pharmacokinetic properties emerged, it Table Runner became clear that initial MMP inhibitor cl

Environment perception and understanding represent critical aspects in most computer vision systems and/or applications.State-of-the-art techniques to solve this vision task (e.g., semantic instance segmentation) require either dedicated hardware resources to run or a longer execution time.Generally, the main efforts were to improve the accuracy of

According to the operating conditions and load requirements of the lifting exoskeleton, a harmonic reducer with large reduction ratio and high torque output is designed in this paper (Xiang Guoqi, 2005).From the perspective of structural dynamics (Donghui et al., 2015; Zuguang et al., 2011), use ANSYS simulation software to study the motion intensi

Due to the complexity of the etiology of autism spectrum disorders, the existing autism diagnosis method is still based on scales.With the continuous development of artificial intelligence, image-aided diagnosis of brain diseases has been widely studied and concerned.However, many doctors and researchers still doubt the diagnosis basis of the neura
