Title A name given to the resource Generalized additive mixed modelling of river discharge in the black Volta river Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Wahab A Iddrisu, Kaku S Nokoe, Albert Luguterah, Eric O Antwi Description An account of the resource River discharge data offer a rich source of information for reservoir management and flood control, if modelling can separate out the effects of rainfall, land use, soil type, relief, and weather conditions. In this paper, we model river discharge data from the Black Volta River, using Generalised Additive Mixed Models (GAMMs) with a space-time interaction represented via a tensor product of continuous time and discrete space. River discharge data from January 2000 to December 2009 for the four gauge stations along the Black Volta River namely, Lawra, Chache, Bui and Bamboi were obtained from the hydrological services department of Ghana and used for model fitting. Four GAMMs were explored, two with space-time interactions and two without space-time interactions. The comparison of the performance of the models with space-time interactions and those without space-time interactions based on Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) suggests that in this application, the former is better overall and in particular for modelling local variations. Further, a model with space and time main effects performed better compared with one without space and time main effects. After model selection, checking and validation, there is evidence for increasing river discharge from the most upstream gauge station to the most downstream gauge station for the study period.

Title A name given to the resource Effects of weather and policy intervention on COVID-19 infection in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Wahab Abdul Iddrisu, Peter Appiahene, Justice A Kessie Description An account of the resource Even though laboratory and epidemiological studies have demonstrated the effects of ambient temperature on the transmission and survival of coronaviruses, not much has been done on the effects of weather on the spread of COVID-19. This study investigates the effects of temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed and the specific government policy intervention of partial lockdown on the new cases of COVID-19 infection in Ghana. Daily data on confirmed cases of COVID-19 from March 13, 2020 to April 21, 2020 were obtained from the official website of Our World in Data (OWID) dedicated to COVID-19 while satellite climate data for the same period was obtained from the official website of NASA's Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resources (POWER) project. Considering the nature of the data and the objectives of the study, a time series generalized linear model which allows for regressing on past observations of the response variable and covariates was used for model fitting. The results indicate significant effects of maximum temperature, relative humidity and precipitation in predicting new cases of the disease. Also, results of the intervention analysis indicate that the null hypothesis of no significant effect of the specific policy intervention of partial lockdown should be rejected (p-value=0.0164) at a 5\% level of significance. These findings provide useful insights for policymakers and the public.

Title A name given to the resource Modelling trends of climatic variability and malaria in Ghana using vector autoregression Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Sylvia Ankamah, Kaku S Nokoe, Wahab A Iddrisu Description An account of the resource Malaria is considered endemic in over hundred countries across the globe. Many cases of malaria and deaths due to malaria occur in Sub‐Saharan Africa. The disease is of great public health concern since it affects people of all age groups more especially pregnant women and children because of their vulnerability. This study sought to use vector autoregression (VAR) models to model the impact of climatic variability on malaria. Monthly climatic data (rainfall, maximum temperature, and relative humidity) from 2010 to 2015 were obtained from the Ghana Meteorological Agency while data on malaria for the same period were obtained from the Ghana Health Service. Results of the Granger and instantaneous causality tests led to a conclusion that malaria is influenced by all three climatic variables.

Title A name given to the resource Zero‐Inflated Time Series Modelling of COVID‐19 Deaths in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kassim Tawiah, Wahab Abdul Iddrisu, Killian Asampana Asosega Description An account of the resource Discrete count time series data with an excessive number of zeros have warranted the development of zero‐inflated time series models to incorporate the inflation of zeros and the overdispersion that comes with it. In this paper, we investigated the characteristics of the trend of daily count of COVID‐19 deaths in Ghana using zero‐inflated models. We envisaged that the trend of COVID‐19 deaths per day in Ghana portrays a general increase from the onset of the pandemic in the country to about day 160 after which there is a general decrease onward. We fitted a zero‐inflated Poisson autoregressive model and zero‐inflated negative binomial autoregressive model to the data in the partial‐likelihood framework. The zero‐inflated negative binomial autoregressive model outperformed the zero‐inflated Poisson autoregressive model. On the other hand, the dynamic zero‐inflated Poisson autoregressive model … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Hindawi Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2021 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=ECTxVnYAAAAJ&citation_for_view=ECTxVnYAAAAJ:5nxA0vEk-isC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/a597de5f2c667b08c0b620313a40fb18.pdf e20065fa8e5f03b31cfbb5bad67a3184 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 Application of multiple component constraint mixture design for studying the effect of ingredient variations on the chemical composition and physico-chemical properties of soy … Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource FM Kpodo, Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, BB Amoa, FKS Saalia, AS Budu Description An account of the resource Investigations were conducted employing a three-component constrained mixture design to formulate milk blends from soy milk, peanut milk and cow milk. Variations in chemical composition and physico-chemical properties of 10-soy-peanut-cow milk (SPCM) formulations were studied. Variations in soy-peanut-cow milk (SPCM) concentrations influenced to varying levels the chemical composition and physico-chemical properties of blends. SPCM formulations containing significant amounts of all three ingredients used (60-70% soy milk, 20-27% peanut milk and 7-20% cow milk) had high crude protein and fat values ranging from 2.20-2.51% and 5.00-6.35% respectively. Increasing soy concentrations caused relative increases in protein content while fat content increased with increasing peanut concentrations. SPCM formulations were high in the minerals Fe and Mn relative to cow milk which was high in Ca and Zn content. Trends in pH were contrary to titratable acidity and increased with increasing soy milk content but decreasing cow milk content. SPCM formulations demonstrated acceptable non-Newtonian behaviour and consistency indices.

Title A name given to the resource Modelling the causes of tax default among small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) In the Tamale Metropolis of Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ali Napari Seidu, Iddrisu Wahab Abdul, Charles Sebil Description An account of the resource The study examined the factors that have a higher potential for tax default among Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) such as high tax rates on SMEs with their relatively low income levels, complex tax filing procedures, lack of proper tax education, high illiteracy rate among SMEs, Poor record keeping, multiple taxation and under declaration of income. The logistic regression model was used in this study to estimate the effect of the statistically significant factors on tax default. The findings revealed that the three most significant factors accounting for tax default among SMEs are the kind of SMEs, inadequate tax education by tax authorities, and multiple taxation. It is therefore recommended that SMEs should be adequately educated on the importance of tax to the state and be encouraged to pay tax to IRS and other mandatory agencies for the development of the Nation. Government as a policy should make tax payment attractive and unavoidable by both the informal and formal sectors.
