Title A name given to the resource Building Bridges for Maternal Health Benefit: A Realist Evaluation of Community to Point of Care (CPC) Strategy to Improve Maternal Health Continuum of Care in Rural Districts of Northern Ghana. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mohammed Ali Description An account of the resource Continuum of care (CoC) is widely accepted and well documented as a safe motherhood strategy with dual benefits to mothers and their babies. Community to care point (CPC) strategy was integrated into community based health planning and services (CHPS) compounds in 30 rural communities northern Ghana to improve CoC service delivery and usage. Using a realist approach, this study evaluated the effect of the CPC strategy on CoC completion rates among mothers of children under five years. A mixed method cross sectional study was conducted at baseline (March 2014) and at endline (June 2017), a total of 845 women who experienced live births with infants were interviewed about maternal health service usage along the CoC pathway. Multiple logistic regression models were used to assess factors associated with CoC completion. The study showed that CoC completion rate increased from 16.8% at baseline to58.6% at endline. Factors associated with CoC completion rates included, education (OR =2.28; 95%CI 1.64 – 3.83), transport (OR = 3.96; 95%CI 1.02 – 4.96); geographic location (OR= 4.12; 95%CI 2.10 – 5.16) and being part of MCH education group (OR = 3.96; 95%CI 1.02– 4.96). The risk of non-completion of CoC services included being multiparous mother (RR=1.28; 95%CI 0.64 -1.83); use of commercial vehicles to access health facilities (RR =2.48; 95% CI 1.16 – 3.54) and being single mothers (RR = 1.45; 95% CI 0.55 – 3.71). Also, reasons for non-completion of CoC services included high poverty levels, seasonal flooding and limited hospitals to contain referrals from CHPS compounds. The findings suggest that the CPC strategy contributed to improving CoC completion rates among mothers in the study area. Further research on the cost effectiveness of the CPC strategy is required to inform its adoption by health policy makers and implementers as part of the CHPS program.

Despite the relevance of competitive advantage, its linkages with organizational capabilities and strategic orientation remain underexplored. Thus, this study examines the determinants of firms’ sustainable competitive advantage. Specifically, it analyzes the impact of strategic orientation on organizational capabilities, and how social media capability mediates the relationship between strategic orientation and sustainable competitive advantage. The study employed a quantitative research approach, and the sample consisted of 305 non-traditional exporters from Ghana, who were purposively sampled from the Ghana Export Promotion Authority database.

Title A name given to the resource Stock market development and environmental quality in EU member countries: A dynamic heterogeneous approach Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mohammed Musah Description An account of the resource Studies on the determinants of environmental quality in the European Union (EU) are plentiful. However, to the best of my knowledge, there has been no research on the linkage between stock market development and environmental quality in the EU, while controlling for natural resource rents, trade openness and energy consumption at the same time. This study aided in filling the above gap using a panel data of 17 EU member countries from 1995 to 2014. In attaining the above goal, second and third generation econometric techniques that control for slope heterogeneity, cross-sectional dependence and structural breaks among others were employed for the analysis. From the cross-sectional dependence test, there were correlations in the residual terms. Also, the heterogeneity test affirmed the slope parameters to be heterogeneous in nature. Moreover, the unit root tests confirmed the series to be stationary … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer Netherlands 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=-U-tBVYAAAAJ&citation_for_view=-U-tBVYAAAAJ:UebtZRa9Y70C 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 Realizing the 2050 Paris climate agreement in West Africa: the role of financial inclusion and green investments Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mohammed Musah, Bright Akwasi Gyamfi, Paul Adjei Kwakwa, Divine Q Agozie Description An account of the resource International organizations have emphasized the importance of global economies supporting efforts to combat climate change. The Paris Agreement or Agenda 2050 urges nations to ensure that the increase in global temperature is limited to 1.5 °C. Studies have analyzed the factors that contribute to harmful emissions, particularly carbon dioxide emissions, in order to limit temperature rise. However, since there are other equally harmful pollutants, this study evaluates the impact of financial inclusion and green investment on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The study uses data from West Africa, where environmental pollution has significantly increased. The study employed regression analysis while controlling for economic growth, foreign direct investment (FDI), and energy consumption. The study's key findings reveal that financial inclusion and green investment have a monotonic effect on reducing … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Academic Press 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=-U-tBVYAAAAJ&citation_for_view=-U-tBVYAAAAJ:zYLM7Y9cAGgC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/73b982cfa83791e83dbc3f07683be703.pdf 7026bf09b4d58de679a267fc4324c498 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 Assessing the roles of green innovations and renewables in environmental sustainability of resource‐rich Sub‐Saharan African states: A financial development perspective Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mohammed Musah, Bright Akwasi Gyamfi, Stephen Taiwo Onifade, Frank Gyimah Sackey Description An account of the resource Environmental literature keeps expanding on the natural resources‐environmental sustainability conundrum. However, most studies examine this conundrum in different geographical locations other than resource‐rich Sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries while also neglecting the criticality of issues like green innovations, financial development, and renewable energy. Besides, the likelihood of a nonlinear relationship has often been jettisoned in the framework. Thus, the resources‐sustainability nexus was examined in the SSA using robust econometric techniques, while underscoring the roles of green innovations, renewable energy, and financial development.

As a result, assessing the environmental impacts of foreign direct investment inflows is necessary for achieving environmentally friendly economic growth in the contemporary era. Accordingly, the global economies including the members of the Group of Twenty (G-20) should focus on attracting clean foreign direct investments. Against this backdrop, controlling for energy consumption and urbanization, this extant study scrutinizes the effects of foreign direct investment inflows on the carbon dioxide emission figures of selected G-20 countries between 1992 and 2018.

Title A name given to the resource On China’s Sustainable Future: How do Eco-Technological Innovations and Financial Development Moderate the Tourism-Environmental Pollution Nexus? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mohammed Musah, Isaac Adjei Mensah, Stephen Taiwo Onifade, Isaac Ankrah, Bright Akwasi Gyamfi Description An account of the resource The global anthropogenic activities among nations are largely behind the growing environmental concerns of our modern time. The rise of China on the frontiers of all economic activities with rapidly booming industries including the tourism industry has raised valid concern about the country’s future sustainability. Past studies have largely focused on CO2 perhaps because of the long-lasting environmental damages from the atmospheric accumulation of this greenhouse gas (GHG) relative to other gases like methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide emissions N2O. However, there is a need to examine other greenhouse gases given that their immediate warming impacts could be much more pronounced over a relatively shorter period. As such, China’s sustainability future was assessed via direct & indirect environmental aspects of the booming tourism industry while exploring the moderating roles of eco-technological … 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 2025 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=qSyX_i8AAAAJ&citation_for_view=qSyX_i8AAAAJ:roLk4NBRz8UC Language A language of the resource English
