Engagement of non-government organisations and community care workers in collaborative TB/HIV activities including prevention of mother to child transmission in South Africa: Opportunities and challenges
(BMC, 2012)The implementation of collaborative TB/HIV activities may help to mitigate the impact of the dual epidemic on patients and communities. Such implementation requires integrated interventions across facilities and levels of ... -
Engaging community health workers in maternal and infant death identification in Khayelitsha, South Africa: a pilot study
(Springer Nature, 2020)Background: Engaging community health workers in a formalised death review process through verbal and social autopsy has been utilised in different settings to estimate the burden and causes of mortality, where civil ... -
Engaging ICTs as a “Tool” for eHealth prioritization on human development and poverty reduction in the African region
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Inc., 2011)The association connecting information and communication technologies (ICTs) and well-being or poverty remains vague and research today has resulted to divergent conclusions. This paper defines ICTs as “tools” that facilitate ... -
Engaging meaningfully with government on socio-economic rights : A focus on the right to housing
(Community Law Centre, University of the Western Cape, 2010)To make sure that service delivery is effective and has a positive impact on people’s quality of life, it is important to have meaningful engagement between communities and the government. South Africa’s Constitution makes ... -
Engaging the paradoxes of the universal and particular in human rights adjudication: The possibilities and pitfalls of ‘meaningful engagement’
(African Human Rights Law Journal, 2012)This article examines the disjunctures between the universal aspiration of human rights norms and the complexity of their interpretation and application in diverse and pluralistic contexts. It examines the extent to which ... -
Engendering access to environmental justice in Nigeria’s oil producing areas
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)This article interrogates engendering access to environmental justice in Nigeria's oil producing areas and its connection with poverty and disempowerment of women. Women already suffer from the fact that access to justice ... -
Engendering access to justice for development in SubSaharan Africa: a study of policy, programming and implementation
(University of the Western Cape, 2021)Building on the book "Gender, poverty and access to justice: policy implementation in Sub-Saharan Africa" (Lawson, Dubin and Mwambene (eds) (2020), this special volume of essays is the result of the Conference in Cape Town ... -
Engineering pyruvate decarboxylase-mediated ethanol production in the thermophilic host Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius
(Springer Verlag, 2013)This study reports the expression, purification, and kinetic characterization of a pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) from Gluconobacter oxydans . Kinetic analyses showed the enzyme to have high affinity for pyruvate (120 μM at ... -
English: Language of hope or broken dream?
(Oxford University Press, 1992)In this chapter, the ESL approaches adopted by seven different literacy organisations in South Africa are described and analysed. The approaches are identified in relation to developments in the field of applied linguistics ... -
Enhanced anti-bacterial activity of biogenic silver nanoparticles synthesized from terminalia mantaly extracts
(Dove Press, 2019)The global increase in outbreaks and mortality rates associated with multidrug- resistant (MDR) bacteria is a major health concern and calls for alternative treatments. Natural-derived products have shown potential in ... -
Enhanced drug loading capacity of polypyrrole nanowire network for confrolled drug release
(Elsevier, 2013)For a conducting polymer (CP) based drug release system, drug loading is often accomplished by a doping process, in which drug is incorporated into polymer as dopant. Therefore, the drug loading capacity is relatively low ... -
Enhanced electrochemical glucose sensing performance of CuO:NiO mixed oxides thin film by plasma assisted nitrogen doping
(Elsevier, 2021)In this study plasma-assisted nitrogen doping of a CuO–NiO mixed oxide thin film was presented. The as prepared film was also applied as a glucose sensor. The nitrogen species generated during plasma ignition resulted in ... -
Enhanced low-humidity performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cell by incorporating phosphoric acid-loaded covalent organic framework in anode catalyst layer
(Elsevier, 2021)Developing self-humidifying membrane electrode assembly (MEA) is of great significance for the practical use of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). In this work, a phosphoric acid (PA)-loaded Schiff base networks ... -
