Title A name given to the resource The persistence of organizational performance problems the public services in Ghana: The perspective of societal culture Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emelia Amoako-Asiedu, Frank Kwaku Loius Ohemeng, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Kenneth Parku Description An account of the resource Performance management (PM) has been one of the most profound initiatives of public services reforms in both developed and developing countries in the last three decades. Despite its acceptance as a tool to enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability, many continue to question its efficacy to enhance organizational performance in public services. This is because organizational performance problems continue to persist in the sector. How then can this persistence of organizational performance problems be explained? For some scholars, the answer lies in examining the behaviour of employees and thus moving away from the instrumentality of PM. While this is laudable, what influences employees’ behaviours for them to engage in activities that make nonsense of the existence of PM has not been greatly articulated. In this paper, we attempt to contribute to this discussion by focusing on how societal … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available SAGE Publications Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=eSTq3EQAAAAJ&citation_for_view=eSTq3EQAAAAJ:KlAtU1dfN6UC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/9d2e5912916e803acf9d18659f1afc16.pdf fd84f0cccf569e994ba44c6bf2116e7a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The challenges of central government fiscal and financial policies on local government programmes in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emelia Amoako-Asiedu, Kwame Ameyaw Domfeh Description An account of the resource Growing interest in the area of participation especially at the local level stems from the belief that democratic approaches to governance achieve better development outcomes. Over the past decade, World Bank has been promoting Community-Driven Development (CDD) programs, an approach that is believed to give local people total control over development projects. Using the qualitative approach to research, the study relies on secondary data and extant literature on decentralization theory and practice. Various legal frameworks in Ghana underpinning decentralization and local governance were utilized to extrapolate challenges of central government fiscal and financial policies on local government programmes, drawing very much on the history, structure and policies of decentralization in Ghana.

Title A name given to the resource Response Surface Methodology for Studying the Quality Characteristics of Cowpea (Vigna Unguiculata)-Based Tempeh. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa Description An account of the resource Response surface methodology was used to optimize the processing conditions in the preparation of cowpea tempeh. The independent factors studied were boiling time (varying from 5 to 30 min), incubation time (varying from 12 to 48 h) and incubation temperatures (varying from 25 to 50C), whereas the dependent factors were protein content, protein solubility, pH, titratable acidity and total color difference (using L, a* and b*). Regression models were generated and adequacy was tested with regression coefficients (R2) and the lack-of-fit tests. Optimum processing conditions were determined by method of superimposition. There was a strong and significant influence (P< 0.01) of the quadratic effect of the incubation time on the protein content of the cowpea tempeh, with similar significance (P< 0.01) noted in protein solubility with increasing boiling time. The optimum processing conditions observed for the preparation of cowpea tempeh were boiling time of about 20 min, incubation time of about 28 h and incubation temperature of about 37C.

Title A name given to the resource The impact of employee perception on the successful institutionalisation and implementation of performance management systems in developing countries: The perspective from … Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank LK Ohemeng, Emelia Amoako‐Asiedu, Theresa Obuobisa‐Darko Description An account of the resource Performance management (PM) has become a key instrument in the quest to ensure optimal operations by organisations in the public sector. Some scholars, though, believe that PM has failed because of employees' negative perception and management's exclusion of employees from its development. Studies on the relationship between employee perception of PM and its effectiveness in the public sector are limited. We argue that management must value employee perception more highly than they do at present because it is unlikely employees would be willing to take an active part in implementing a change with which they disagree or that they see as having no value. This study examines the effect of employees' perception on the institutionalisation and implementation of PM in developing countries, with specific reference to Ghana.

Title A name given to the resource : Melamine Contamination of Infant Formula in China: The Causes, Food Safety Issues and Public Health Implications Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource E Ohene Afoakwa Description An account of the resource Melamine-an industrial chemical-was recently found in infant formula in China but it has since spiralled to other food categories that use milk powder as an ingredient, such as chocolate, biscuits and eggs. As of September 21, 2008, a total of 52,857 cases of nephrolithiasis (and, in some instances, renal failure) had been reported in China linked to consumption of this contaminated powdered formula. There have been approximately 13,000 hospitalizations, and at least 4 deaths confirmed to date. The vast majority of illnesses involved children under the age of 3 years (82%< 2 years; 17% 2-3 years; 0.8%> 3 years; and no cases involved adults). The results of an investigation conducted in China indicated that Chinese-produced powdered infant formula was linked to these illnesses; no cases were associated with liquid infant formula. An investigation of powdered formulas was conducted nationally by China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) and revealed contaminant ion of powdered formulas produced by 22 companies. Test results conducted in China on samples of the powdered infant formula showed that they contained a wide range of concentrations (0.1 ppm to greater than 2,500 ppm melamine powder. In addition, other countries have reported detection of melamine in other product categories, such as confections and beverages. Generally, there are available analytical methods that can reliably detect a level of 1 ppm melamine in some food matrices.

Title A name given to the resource : Modelling tempering behaviour of dark chocolates from varying particle size distribution and fat content using response surface methodology Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource E Ohene Afoakwa, P Alistair, M Fowler, J Vieira Description An account of the resource Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) for K= 2 was used to study the combined effects of multi-stage heat exchangers for Stages 1 (14–30 C) and 2 (12–28 C) coolant temperatures at constant Stage 3 coolant and holding temperatures during tempering of dark chocolates using laboratory-scale mini-temperer. Quantitative data on chocolate temper index (slope) were obtained for products with varying particle size distribution (PSD)(D90 of 18, 25, 35 and 50 μm) and fat (30% and 35%) content. Regression models generated using stepwise regression analyses were used to plot response surface curves, to study the tempering behaviour of products. The results showed that both Stage 1 and Stage 2 coolant temperatures had significant linear and quadratic effects on the crystallization behaviour causing wide variations in chocolate temper index during tempering of products with variable PSD and fat content. Differences in fat content exerted the greatest variability in temperature settings of the different zones for attaining well-tempered products. At 35% fat content, changes in PSD caused only slight and insignificant effect on tempering behaviour. No unique set of conditions was found to achieve good temper in dark chocolate with a specified tempering unit. Thus, different combinations of temperatures could be employed between the multi-stage heat exchangers to induce nucleation and growth of stable fat crystal polymorphs during tempering. Variations in tempering outcomes of the dark chocolates were dependent more on the fat content than PSD.

Title A name given to the resource Cocoa and chocolate consumption–Are there aphrodisiac and other benefits for human health? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource E Ohene Afoakwa Description An account of the resource Cocoa and chocolate have been acclaimed for several years for their possible medicinal and health benefits. It is only recently, however, that some of these claims have been more clearly identified and studied. Recent epidemiological and clinical studies, for example, have shown that dietary supplementation with flavonoid-rich cocoa and chocolate may exert a protective effect on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation, which has been associated with a reduced risk of developing atherosclerosis. Some of the identified benefits of flavonoid-rich cocoa and chocolate include antioxidant properties, reduced blood pressure via the induction of nitric-oxide (NO)-dependent vasodilation in men, improved endothelial function, increased insulin sensitivity, decreased platelet activation and function, as well as modulated immune function and inflammation. Furthermore, chocolate has been reported to release phenylethylamine and serotonin into the human system, producing some aphrodisiac and mood-lifting effects. Since these claims could have implications for the consumption levels of cocoa and chocolate products on the global market, understanding the critical factors involved and their potential benefits are currently thought to be of great importance to consumers.
