Title A name given to the resource Influence of Country of Origin on Brand Evangelism (E-WOM): The Mediating Role of Consumer Engagement in an Emerging Market Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource George Kofi Amoako, Hayford Amegbe, Antoinette Yaa Benewaa Gabrah, Innocent Senyo Kwasi Acquah, Joshua Kofi Doe Description An account of the resource This study investigates the impact of country of origin (COO) on consumer attitudes and brand evangelism in Ghana’s telecommunications industry. The research uses a multi-study approach, examining three telecom brands (A, B, and C) in Ghana. The data was collected online and offline, with a month delay to reduce method bias. The study found that the COO significantly influences consumers’ affective and cognitive engagements with telecom brands A and B, but does not directly impact behavioral engagement of any of the brands. The study emphasizes the importance of emotional and cognitive connections in driving brand evangelism as behavioral engagement alone may not translate into evangelism. The findings suggest that telecom brands can leverage their COO to enhance consumer engagement and foster brand evangelism by emphasizing positive associations with their origin.

Title A name given to the resource Influence of enzymatically produced sunflower oil based cocoa butter equivalents on the phase behavior of cocoa butter and quality of dark chocolate Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Sheida Kadivar, Nathalie De Clercq, Mansura Mokbul, Koen Dewettinck Description An account of the resource The two enzymatically produced sunflower oil based cocoa butter equivalents (CBEs) were blended with cocoa butter (CB) at varying concentrations (g/100 g). The peak maximum decreased significantly upon the addition more CBE due to the presence of the low-melting TAGs. However, the melting heat and the melting onset temperature were comparable to CB up to 25 g CBE/100 g blend. The iso-solid diagram showed monotectic behavior with softening effect proportional to CBE increase. A significant decrease in SFC was observed at all temperatures for the blends in which the CBE ratio was above 25 g/100 g blend. The second part of this study was set out to determine the performance of CBE replacement in chocolates and compounds at 20 °C. All the chocolates and compounds even in the level of 5 g CBE/100 g blend had significantly lower Casson yield stress than reference chocolate.

Title A name given to the resource Influence of Leadership Behaviours and the Mediatory Role of Leader-Follower Collaboration on Performance of State-owned Enterprises. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theophilus Adomako Description An account of the resource This thesis has explored the meaning and essence through lived experiences and perspectives of four leaders of their leadership behaviours, followership styles, leader-follower collaboration and performance of SOEs in Ghana because there is paucity of empirical support on the understanding of the four phenomena as well as the relationships among them. Therefore, this inquiry was conducted through a sequential exploratory mixed research methods made up of two-phases of data collection and analysis; first, four leaders of SOEs were purposively sampled and through face-to-face semi-structured interviews provided narrations of their perception attached to the four phenomena and the relationships among them. During the second phase of survey strategy, data were assembled from 348 followers of 12 SOEs, where ANOVA, multiple regression analysis and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling were used to examine the determinant and the casual relationships among the phenomena. Whilst the phenomenological results generated five themes: strategic career ambition, middle-of-the road management style, changing attitude of the followers, collaborative environment and result-based management system to describe the perception of the four phenomena by the four leaders of SOEs, the survey strategy quantified the determinant of leadership behaviours, followership styles, leader-follower collaboration and performance of SOEs as well as six out of eight hypotheses explain the influence of leadership behaviours, followership styles and the mediating role of leader-follower collaboration on performance of SOEs in Ghana were supported. This research adds evidence on the understanding of the meaning and essence of the four phenomena as well as causal relationships among them from both perception of the leaders and their followers and the findings have theoretical, managerial and practical contributions and implications. Finally, limitations and recommendations of the study for future research are available.

Title A name given to the resource Influence of pulp-preconditioning and fermentation on fermentative quality and appearance of Ghanaian cocoa (Theobroma cacao) beans Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource OA Emmanuel, Q Jennifer, SB Agnes, ST Jemmy, KS Firibu Description An account of the resource Studies were conducted to evaluate effects of pod storage (as a means of pulp pre-conditioning) and fermentation time on the fermentative quality and appearance of Ghanaian cocoa beans. The fermentative quality (cut test and fermentation index [FI]) and colour (L, a, b) of the cocoa beans were studied using standard methods. Increasing pod storage and fermentation time significantly (P< 0.05) influenced the fermentative quality and appearance of the beans. Fermentation caused significant increases in FI at all periods of pod storage whilst increasing pod storage resulted in darker, yellower and less red beans. Cut test scores revealed that storage of pods for 7 and 14 days increased the percentage of brown beans by 15 and 38% respectively by the sixth day of fermentation. Thus, Ghanaian cocoa pods could be stored for up to 14 days prior to fermentation with optimum fermentative quality and desired colour … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Universiti Putra Malaysia, Faculty of Food Science & Technology Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2012 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&amp;hl=en&amp;user=EZuX1N8AAAAJ&amp;pagesize=80&amp;citation_for_view=EZuX1N8AAAAJ:LYDvBi7O6RsC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/0c415ad6de2d2ba303c039952bb7dece.pdf 231f9c8e646881f32436a3a23b95cb0c 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 Influence of spontaneous fermentation on some quality characteristics of maize-based cowpea-fortified nixtamalized foods Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Samuel Sefa-Dedeh, Agnes Simpson Budu, Esther Sakyi-Dawson, Justice Asomaning Description An account of the resource Spontaneous fermentation has been identified to improve the quality characteristics of foods derived from them. When combined with cowpea fortification and nixtamalization, it is expected to improve the nutritional, functional, physico-chemical and sensory qualities of maize based foods thereby improving the qualities as well as broadening the food processing techniques in sub-Saharan Africa. This study was therefore aimed at investigating the influence of spontaneous fermentation on the functional, physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of maize-based cowpeafortified nixtamalized foods. A 3x3x2 factorial experiment with fermentation time (0, 24, 48 h), cowpea (0, 10 and 20%) and alkaline treatment (nixtamalized and nonnixtamalized maize) was used. Samples were analyzed for pH, titratable acidity and water absorption capacity (27 C and 70 C). The blends were dried using the cabinet drier, milled into flour and processed into a snack food. The cylinder probe test was used in a TA-TX2 Texture Analyzer to measure the hardness of processed snack foods and sensory analysis was conducted to determine the acceptability of the snack products. The pH of all the nixtamalized samples decreased with fermentation time and cowpea fortification with concomitant increase in titratable acidity. Cowpea addition caused decreases in the pH from 9.68 to 6.12 in the unfermented nixtamalized samples. Contrary to this trend, general increases in titratable acidity were observed with fermentation and cowpea addition of the products. The water absorption capacities at both 27 C and 70 C of all the nixtamalized blends generally decreased with … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2007 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&amp;hl=en&amp;user=EZuX1N8AAAAJ&amp;pagesize=80&amp;citation_for_view=EZuX1N8AAAAJ:4TOpqqG69KYC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/52a0f5e70e42821db1787a10c2934614.pdf efe1143ae75b6629a73406379435cb41 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 Influence of tempering and fat crystallization behaviours on microstructural and melting properties in dark chocolate systems Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Alistair Paterson, Mark Fowler, Joselio Vieira Description An account of the resource Particle size distribution (PSD) and temper influences on dark chocolate fat crystallization were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and microscopy to establish relationships with their melting properties and microstructure. Variations in PSD had no influence on crystallinity of products at all temper regimes. Particle size (PS) increases had limited effects on Tonset, Tpeak, and ΔHmelt independent of temper regime but significant decreases in Tend and Tindex were noted. Contrary, varying temper regime influenced the crystallinity and melting properties (Tend, Tindex and ΔHmelt) of products. Under-tempered chocolate showed widened crystal size distribution (CSD) with significant changes in Tend, Tindex and ΔHmelt of products. Over-tempering caused moderate increases in CSD and melting properties, with significant effect on Tend, Tindex and ΔHmelt but no changes were noted in Tonset, T … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2009 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&amp;hl=en&amp;user=EZuX1N8AAAAJ&amp;cstart=20&amp;pagesize=80&amp;citation_for_view=EZuX1N8AAAAJ:ufrVoPGSRksC Language A language of the resource English 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 Influence of the Addition of Cereal Malt on the Viscoelastic and Functional Properties of Cereal-Based Weaning Foods Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Samuel Sefa-Dedeh, Yvonne Kluvitse, Esther Sakyi-Dawson Description An account of the resource Traditional weaning foods are made from cereals resulting in gruels of high density with viscosities not suitable for infant feeding. Reducing the bulk density in fermented weaning foods will facilitate the production of infant weaning porridges of improved caloric density and lower viscosity. Our objective was aimed at investigating the influence of the addition of cereal malts on the viscoelastic and functional properties of cereal-based weaning foods. A 3x3x2 factorial experiment with sprouting time (2, 3, 4 days), malt concentration (5 and 10%) and cereal malt (maize, millet and sorghum) was used. The cereals were sprouted for 2, 3, and 4 days and then incorporated into fermented maize dough at concentrations of 5% and 10%(dry matter basis). Samples were analysed for their viscoelastic properties using 8% slurries in a Brabender Viscoamylograph, and functional properties (pH, titratable acidity, water holding capacity and swelling capacity). Sorghum malt in comparison to millet and maize malts was not effective in terms of lowering the hot and cold viscosities of the fermented maize dough. Maize and millet malts liquefied the dough considerably during both the hot and cold paste viscosities. However, the effect of 4-day sprouted cereal malts was most pronounced whilst the optimum activity of maize malt was observed after three days of sprouting. The pH of the products decreased (5.38-3.84) with increasing malt concentration with concomitant increase in acid production (0.238–0.624 gLactic acid/100g dry sample) and no significant effect (p< 0.05) was noted for the type of cereal malt.

Title A name given to the resource Informatics in Medicine Unlocked Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Baffour Senkyire, Kashala Kabe Gedeon, Emmanuel Freeman, Benjamin Ghansah, Zhe Liu Description An account of the resource Automatic pancreas segmentation of CT scans enables physicians to identify and monitor the abnormalities in the pancreas. This facilitates intraoperative assistance, surgical planning, prognosis, and diagnosis. Nonetheless, the size and location of the pancreas in the CT image input data present a significant challenge for automatic segmentation, and the intricacy of the background region confounds deep segmentation networks. To solve this difficulty, we propose the Encoder-Corollary Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling-Decoder Network (EcD-Net) for locating and segmenting the pancreas. This two-tiered method begins with a coarse segmentation stage for locating the pancreas within the overall CT image. Using the detected image from the first tier, a fine segmentation network based on U-Net is applied to segment the target organ (pancreas). A novel Saturated Multiview Dense Module (SMD-Module) is presented to enhance information gradient flow for the stability of the training process and easier convergence at the fine stage. A novel Corollary Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling Module (CASPP-Module) is proposed to simultaneously capture low-level details and high-level global context information to enhance the pancreas segmentation accuracy, extract global and local spatial data, and detect the pancreas at varied scales. On the publicly available National Institute of Health (NIH) pancreas dataset, our proposed EcD-Net surpasses previous state-of-the-art methods with a mean Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) of 88.84%, mean Precision (PRE), Recall (REC), and Intersection over Union (IoU) of 91.85%, 88.21%, and 89.94% respectively … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2024 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Benjamin-Ghansah-2/publication/385323071_EcD-Net_Encoder-Corollary_Atrous_Spatial_Pyramid_Pooling-Decoder_Network_for_Automated_Pancreas_Segmentation_of_2D_CT_Images/links/672b2cc277f274616d5eeb25/EcD-Net-Encoder-Corollary-Atrous-Spatial-Pyramid-Pooling-Decoder-Network-for-Automated-Pancreas-Segmentation-of-2D-CT-Images.pdf?__cf_chl_tk=w.nKPPDQX976.WVdYddVY05V2Jyar6C34yuuacFRMX4-1741103602-1.0.1.1-Wf2eFlbEa6zXih_DPuzs32K2hnghe4vR_vCrGwYG2OI Language A language of the resource English
