  • An analysis of the evolving role of information technology with respect to selected standard and its impact on internal audit 
    Marx, B.; Ravjee, H. (Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein: Journal for New Generation Sciences, 2015)
    Modern organizations are increasingly dependent on information technology (IT) for various reasons: to enhance their operational efficiency, reduce costs or even attain a competitive advantage. The role of information ...
  • Bayes factors for grouped data 
    Raubenheimer, L.; Van der Merwe, A.J. (Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein: Journal for New Generation Sciences, 2015)
    In this paper we apply Bayes factors to grouped data. Group testing is where units are pooled together and tested as a group rather than individually. The Bayes factor is the ratio of the posterior probabilities of the ...
  • A comparative study of methods for defect detection in textile fabrics 
    Nsengiyumva, P.; Vermaak, H.; Luwes, N. (Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein: Journal for New Generation Sciences, 2015)
    Fabric defect detection methods have been broadly classified into three categories; statistical methods, spectral methods and model-based methods. The performance of each method relies on the discriminative ability of ...
  • The doctoral quest as an alternative metaphoric narrative for doctoral research education 
    Bitzer, E.M (Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein: Journal for New Generation Sciences, 2015)
    Earlier research on doctoral education had pointed to different conceptions of doctoral research education and scholarship. In particular, the 'journey' narrative, whereby doctoral studies are typically described as ...
  • The effect of prior knowledge and academic performance on success in first-year university accounting 
    Bosua, W.S.; Van der Nest, D.P. (Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein: Journal for New Generation Sciences, 2015)
    It has become common practice in South African universities not to require students to have completed accounting at secondary school level as a prerequisite to enrollment for a diploma or degree in accounting and/or business. ...
  • Empirical study on e-learning adoption at institutions of higher learning in South Africa 
    Chigona, A.; Dagada, R. (Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein: Journal for New Generation Sciences, 2015)
    Although the familiarity of technology in general among academics may not be a problem, research has shown that many course instructors are still lagging behind on the uptake of the new technologies, e.g. eLearning platforms ...
  • Exploring eudaimonic and hedonic components of happiness : a mixed methods study 
    Mason, H.D. (Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein: Journal for New Generation Sciences, 2015)
    In addition to assisting students in addressing stressful challenges, psychologists who work as student counsellors are also expected to focus on the development of strengths and potential. This implies, amongst others, ...
  • A programmable logic controller based laboratory analysis of conventional and intelligent control schemes for non-liner systems 
    Fernandes, J.M.; Van Niekerk, T. (Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein: Journal for New Generation Sciences, 2015)
    Intelligent Neural Network (NN) based control schemes have surmounted many of the limitations found in the conventional control approaches such as Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control. Nevertheless, these modern ...
  • Self-regulated learning as predictor of academic performance 
    Keyser, J.N.; Viljoen, M.C. (Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein: Journal for New Generation Sciences, 2015)
    The goal of this study was to research the hypothesis that self-regulated learning (SRL) predicts academic performance in second-year Economics studies. In the theoretical underpinning, self-regulated learning as related ...
  • Wireless fault monitoring of robotic cells using android tablet pcs within automotive production 
    Cumberlege, A.; Van Niekerk, T. (Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein: Journal for New Generation Sciences, 2015)
    This paper presents the work on the development of software for an Android based mobile device. The goal being not only for a working application, but also to optimise the development process to ensure a user friendly ...
