Effective fisheries management with few data: a management procedure approach by Geromont, Helena Francine

“…Despite the simplicity of the harvest control rules simulation tested in this thesis, these MPs could well provide the basis to develop generic MPs to manage data-poor stocks, ensuring if not optimal, at least relatively stable sustainable future catches. …”

Testing adaptive market efficiency in the presence of non-Gaussian uncertainties by Wakandigara, Vykta

“…Unlike the classical KF, modern filters such as the maximum correntropy Kalman filters (MCC-KF) have been shown to be less sensitive to non-Gaussian uncertainties. These filters utilise a similarity measure known as correntropy– which incorporates higher order information than the mean square criterion that is utilised in the classical KF. …”

Siezing the BEPS: an assessment of the efficacy of South Africa’s thin capitalisation regime in combating base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) through excessive interest deducti... by Nyatsambo, Nyasha Gift

“…Thin capitalisation, a situation in which an entity utilises to their tax benefit the deductions/exemption mismatch that arises from crossborder debt financing, is one of the most common methods of BEPS utilised by MNEs. …”

Socioeconomic inequalities in non-communicable diseases in South Africa by Zulu, Tryphine

“…Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) have reached epidemic proportions globally and in South Africa. This thesis is situated within the health equity framework. The aim is to assess the extent of wealth related inequalities in NCDs and to assess the impact of the social determinants of health in mediating these inequalities. …”
