Title A name given to the resource Omnidirectional antenna with modified ground plane for wideband DVB in handheld devices Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Joseph Owusu, Mohamad Rijal Bin Hamid, Samuel Tweneboah-Koduah, Samuel Afoakwa Description An account of the resource Miniaturized monopole planar antennas operating in the VHF/UHF band applied for Digital Video Broadcasting and mobile communication have gained research interest due to their low-profile, compact, and wideband nature. This antenna is capable of penetrating surfaces more easily, faster and can broadcast larger data because it operates in the wideband. The challenge of designing an antenna small enough to be adopted for Digital Video Broadcasting in handheld devices with capabilities of covering the DVB wideband and at the same time omnidirectional, with enough gain, good impedance coefficient which translates into efficiency is the drive of this paper. The proposed antenna in this paper is a rectangular patch with two large slots created in its radiating surface and extension on its edges for wider bandwidth and better matching. It employs a modified ground plane that uses coupling to achieve low … 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 2021 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=QRyINJYAAAAJ&citation_for_view=QRyINJYAAAAJ:Y0pCki6q_DkC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/112d3516ef1cf8c80c673dba33879d1e.pdf ce7aa51904b69632d0801c944c9b00bf 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 Wideband microstrip comb-line linear array antenna using stubbed-element technique for high sidelobe suppression Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Samuel Afoakwa, Young-Bae Jung Description An account of the resource This paper presents a novel wideband microstrip comb-line linear array antenna using end feeding developed in the millimeter-wave. The proposed antenna is designed for 28 GHz and has 12 elements. The reflection-canceling slit structure technique is adopted to develop a broadside beam with low reflections at the input. The proposed array is designed using stub-studded radiating elements that create more resonances to broaden the impedance bandwidth. The structure is a novel comb-line linear array antenna with stub-studded radiating elements and was developed by applying stubs to eight of the radiating elements of the array to increase the input impedance bandwidth. This helps to attain a wideband linear array antenna on a single dielectric substrate, which conventionally has a narrow bandwidth. The input impedance bandwidth is from 23.5 to 33.11 GHz, which is equivalent to a bandwidth of 33.95 … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IEEE Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=QRyINJYAAAAJ&citation_for_view=QRyINJYAAAAJ:u-x6o8ySG0sC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/04c3c0a314d1d7c521f53e94fd6600d7.pdf 984189c2f815449bdd7f46e5fc31a4af 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 Impact of Motivational Workshop on Financial Inclusion of Rural People in Bangladesh: Evidence from Randomized Controlled Trial Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource Despite the expansion of financial institutions and the proliferation of mobile financial services, reaching the unbanked and bringing them under formal financial services has become a policy concern in many developing countries. Due to the lack of financial accounts, unbanked people prefer informal, risky, and inconvenient mechanisms for receiving, sending, and transferring money. Previous studies rely much on common interventions like no account maintenance and opening fees, easy documentation processes, and money subsidies for opening financial accounts. This study aims to examine the impact of the motivational workshop on opening savings accounts through causality among the unbanked people in a setting where the respondents are unbanked despite having all the requirements and many institutional offers to open savings accounts. We encouraged the unbanked people through a one-hour-long motivational workshop to open savings accounts. Based on our cross-sectional data and randomized controlled trial experiment among the 505 unbanked rural people at Dhubil union under Sirajganj in Bangladesh, we have evidence that motivational workshop positively impacts opening accounts by 32.33 percent. However, the account opening rate differs in terms of respondent’s preference for financial institutions. Our study also finds that unbanked people have the highest preference for mobile financial services for opening accounts resulting in 15.33 percent. The result of this study has some policy implications for adopting effective strategies for universal financial access in many developing countries.

Title A name given to the resource Discursive Construction of Higher Education Institutional Academic Identities in Nigeria Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource There is an increase in brand marketing on the websites of universities in a bid to present the kind of identities that will best promote them. This study examines the identities universities project to market their brands within the context of consumer culture of the contemporary higher educational setting. Data for the study were obtained from the websites of 24 public and private universities in Nigeria and were analysed based on Fairclough’s (2015) dialectical relational theory and Roper and Parker’s (2006) insights on branding. The findings reveal seven kinds of identity: professional, national, transnational, humanist, Afrocentric, ethnic and religious. These identities range from the ideal to narrow-interest ones. The study concludes that identity construction in any university should aim primarily at advancing knowledge and producing total graduates who would be able to adapt and survive in any part of the world and contribute meaningfully to societal development.

Title A name given to the resource THE DISHARMONY IN HARMONY: EXPERIENCES OF FEMALE LEADERS IN HIGHER EDUCATION Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Esi Akyere Mensah Description An account of the resource One of the current best practices of higher education institutions with multiple learning and teaching centers is to have standardized levels of teaching, learning and assessment especially if they all award the same degrees. Although this has been asserted as best practice, its implementation is not always simple, neither is it easy. This paper thus presents findings from a higher education institution in an emerging economy which undertook this task of achieving this standardization by harmonizing course outlines, teaching and materials as well as assumptive assessment across its five teaching and learning centers. The paper chronicles the experiences of five female academic leaders who played significant roles in implementing this harmonization of teaching and assessment policy.

Title A name given to the resource Host perspectives of international volunteer tourists in Ghana: the case of Asebu community Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Esi Akyere Mensah Description An account of the resource Volunteer tourism discourse seems to have a disproportionate emphasis on the guest at the expense of the host. This trend seems to be replicated in the Ghanaian studies although it is well understood that without host support, tourism cannot be sustainable. Thus, this inquiry sought to examine the host guest relationship from the lens of the host, mainly from the relatively unexplored dimensions of language, power and reciprocity. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were used to solicit data from forty three participants in the Asebu community from November 2015 to April 2016. The data was analyzed using QDA miner, to bring out the themes and patterns in the transcript. The results indicate that the host has different perspectives towards the international volunteer tourist. These perspectives appear to be shaped by the degree of host involvement in the volunteer tourism enterprise. The findings revealed a spectrum of attitudes toward the guest which ranged from tolerance, indifference to suspicion. It was established that the host uncertainty about the motives of the guest was predicated on resident’s perceptions of direct benefits from volunteer tourism. Based on the findings, it was concluded that host perspectives of the volunteer tourist is function of contact factors which either enabled or mitigated interactions. It was recommended that the volunteer tourism organisation consider addressing the feelings of uncertainty among the host, by giving communities enough information about the motives and activities of the volunteer tourists.

Title A name given to the resource An Investigation Into Self-Regulated Learning in a Virtual Classroom: A High-Education Perspective Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource EA Mensah, PJ Sachi, RA Greene, FS Loglo, DO Donkor, S Bempah Description An account of the resource In the wake of the global pandemic (COVID-19) and restrictions on human-to-human contacts, higher education institutions have turned to e-learning as a solution to keep teaching and learning going. Indeed, aside from allowing the continuation of education during situations like that, the other argument supporting e-learning is because of its social constructivist pedagogy and effective self-regulated learning. However, the claim of self-regulated learning in the context of e-learning has not empirically been validated. Thus, based on responses from 116 individuals, using a mixed-method approach, we sought to evaluate the effect of the use of the Learning Management System on students' self-regulated learning. Our findings indicate that despite the advantages of convenience and access to materials provided, the system did not appear to regulate students learning with significant challenges of unreliable internet connectivity, lack of key functionalities and features ultimately impeding optimal use. The study discusses these findings and draws implications for theory and practice.

Title A name given to the resource Tourism management perspectives Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Esi Akyere Mensah, Elizabeth Agyeiwaah, Felix Elvis Otoo Description An account of the resource While volunteer tourism organizations (VTOs) remain important intermediaries in the practice of volunteer tourism, questions remain on the role they play in serving the interests of host communities. This paper explores the role (s) of VTOs in a rural volunteer tourism hub in Ghana from a host community perspective using a phenomenological inquiry. An integrated framework of Critical/Institutional Analysis and Development (C/IAD) was used to examine host community experience with VTOs’ role. Data was collected through focus group discussion and in-depth interviews with 43 residents of Asebu-Ghana. The study revealed that while VTOs act as facilitators and interpreters of local culture, issues of over-regulation and protectionism isolate guests from the host as well as rob some host of any meaningful socio-economic benefits and interactions.
