Measuring the goodness of governance: macro, intermediate and micro perspectives
(University of Pretoria, 2012)Governance comprises a network of interdependent connections between various actors. The performance of governance institutions should be measured, both quantitatively (efficiency, effectiveness and economy dimensions) and ... -
Measuring the health-related Sustainable Development Goals in 188 countries: a baseline analysis from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015
(Elsevier, 2016)Background In September, 2015, the UN General Assembly established the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs specify 17 universal goals, 169 targets, and 230 indicators leading up to 2030. We provide an analysis ... -
Measuring the inward FDI potential of South African regions
(University of Johannesburg, Department of Business Management, 2008)Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to construct an index that captures the factors expected to affect a local economy's attractiveness to foreign investors. Problem statement: Following South Africa's reintegration into ... -

Measuring turbulent CO2 fluxes with a closed-path gas analyzer in a marine environment
(EGU, 2018)In this study, we introduce new observations of sea–air fluxes of carbon dioxide using the eddy covariance method. The measurements took place at the Utö Atmospheric and Marine Research Station on the island of Utö in the ... -
Measuring universal health coverage based on an index of effective coverage of health services in 204 countries and territories, 1990-2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
(Elsevier, 2020)Summary Background Achieving universal health coverage (UHC) involves all people receiving the health services they need, of high quality, without experiencing financial hardship. Making progress towards UHC is a policy ... -
Mechanical and morphological determinants of peak power output in elite cyclists
(Wiley, 2019)Mechanical peak power output (PPO) is a determinant of performance in sprint cycling. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between PPO and putative physiological determinants of PPO in elite cyclists, ... -
Mechanical and physical behavior of fibrin clot formation and lysis in combined oral contraceptive users
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2020)Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) are commonly prescribed and increase the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). We have previously found that two COCs, both containing drospirenone (DRSP) and ethinyl estradiol (EE), ... -

Mechanical and thermal properties of extrudates produced from discarded coal fines and recycled plastics as binders
(ACS Publications, 2023)This study focuses on the extrusion of discarded coal fines from the Highveld coalfield together with recycled low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and polypropylene (PP) which are used as binders to produce agglomerates with ... -
The mechanism by which moderate alcohol consumption influences coronary heart disease
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background Moderate alcohol consumption is associated with a lower risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). A suitably integrated view of the CHD pathogenesis pathway will help to elucidate how moderate alcohol consumption ... -
The mechanisms by which antidepressants may reduce coronary heart disease risk
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background Depression is known to increase the risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) likely through various pathogenetic actions. Understanding the links between depression and CHD and the effects of mediating these links ... -
Mechanisms of action of plant growth promoting bacteria
(SpringerSpringer, 2017)The idea of eliminating the use of fertilizers which are sometimes environmentally unsafe is slowly becoming a reality because of the emergence of microorganisms that can serve the same purpose or even do better. Depletion ... -
Mechanisms of sports injuries among professional footballers: a review
