Title A name given to the resource Bio-Inspired Optimisation Algorithm for Congestion Control in Computer Networking Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Richard Nana Nketsiah, Israel Edem Agbehadji, Richard C Millham, Emmanuel Freeman Description An account of the resource The development of internet technology gives consumers the chance to transfer packets across networks instantly. Such developments in internet technology are anticipated to ease congestion. Despite this, the majority of firms were bound by the expense of deploying cutting-edge technology or updating network infrastructure, necessitating efficient congestion management. Inherent distribution optimisation, which requires each source device on the network to continually adjust to its traffic load using the feedback information received or acknowledged from another source device, is unfortunately the problem with congestion management. This research addresses the issue of continually adjusting to a network traffic load by presenting a unique optimisation technique. This strategy is based on the features and hunting behaviour of foxes and rabbits on wild grass.

Title A name given to the resource Brazilian energy efficiency and energy substitution: a road to cleaner national energy system Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Boqiang Lin, Isaac Ankrah, Sylvester Adasi Manu Description An account of the resource Recognizing the need to increase energy efficiency across various sectors of the economy, the Brazilian government through the national energy efficiency plan (adopted in 2011) seeks to avoid 30 million tons of CO2 emissions through a reduction in electricity consumption of about 10% by 2030. Notwithstanding, we believe that a complete realization of such initiative will be dependent on the level of substitutability between different production factors and fuel types. Using the translog production function method, this paper, first provides insight on the economic impact of both factor and fuel inputs in Brazil. Most importantly, we examine the possibility of substitution among capital, labor, petroleum, and electricity. The ridge regression technique was used to estimate the parameters after our data depicted the existence of multicollinearity.

Title A name given to the resource Renewable energy development in Ghana: Beyond potentials and commitment Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Ankrah, Boqiang Lin Description An account of the resource Considering the significance of renewable energy in the sustainable energy future discussion, it is important to understand its influencing factors in order to draw result implications for policy formulation. This study examines these influencing factors for Ghana in the context of an unimpressive renewable electricity scale-up amid the potentials and commitment. It proceeds to forecast the trend of renewable energy fifteen years after the sample period. The results, based on the application of the Vector Error Correction Model and Johansen cointegration technique, on a dataset covering 1980 to 2015, shows that Ghana’s renewable electricity is mainly driven by foreign direct investment and trade openness, with real GDP per capita being inconsequential. What’s more, both financial development and fossil fuel consumption undermine renewable energy development in Ghana.

Title A name given to the resource Democracy and Use of Social Media by Public Sector Organisations in Africa Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson, Description An account of the resource The adoption and use of social media is influenced in part by the prevailing political environment. The use of social media in Africa is fraught with some challenges due to the lack of political will, and sometimes opposition from some government institutions. The chapter provides the reasons why social media is viewed as anti-democratic within the African socioeconomic context. Some of the toxic factors have been found to include the promotion of misinformation, fake news, hate speech, and voter manipulation. The chapter also provides some examples of social media ban in Africa supervised by governments that perceive the technology as destructive. This chapter as well advocates for the promotion of social media because of its democracy-deepening function and concludes that social media must be promoted to develop democracy on the African continent Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer Nature Switzerland AG 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://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-22642-7_5 Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/204c9c7bcbc35dd1a0d6a86f7d3b2848.pdf 44dff52be88e25ff302ad24860f98295 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 TOWARDS THE ADOPTION OF M-LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES IN TERTIARY EDUCATION Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource EMMANUEL FREEMAN Description An account of the resource This study explores how mobile learning (M-learning) technologies can be used to support educational delivery among tertiary institutions in Ghana. This has become necessary because of the increasing rate of distance and open learning and the shift from the traditional class room environment to a virtual class room environment. To achieve this, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and both quantitative and qualitative methods are used to capture data for the findings and analysis. A total sample size of 500 students and 100 lecturers from five selected tertiary institutions participated in the study. The findings indicate that both faculty and students are ready for this shift of education delivery paradigm. However, the institutions have made very little effort to accept the practice in their schools. This is as result of the facts that the awareness and implementation of m-learning in most institutions are not in place. As a result, a proposed model has been developed to enhance mobile learning education delivery.
