Title A name given to the resource From Smartphones To Computerized Business Operations: Modeling ICT Development and Electricity Consumption in Emerging Digital Economies Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Ankrah, Michael Appiah-Kubi, Sampson Twumasi-Ankrah, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Asravor, Brenya Boahemaa, Derrick Donkor, Lilian Arthur, Christopher Lamptey, Eric Mochiah Description An account of the resource The integration of new digital technologies amid a rising population in many emerging economies imposes incessant pressure on their energy systems. It has become crucial to draw result implications for future energy sustainability by exploring all relevant issues, particularly in light of how Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) influence electricity demand. Using the West African region as the subject of analysis, this study provides insights into the implied connection, taking into account the region’s disparate cultural and linguistic patterns. The study is complemented by a result-based analysis of the socioeconomic and policy implications. The outcomes, derived from the application of a dynamic panel data model to a dataset spanning 1990-2021, show that ICT adoption has significant implications on electricity consumption, with notable positive impact observed in the long run. Interestingly, this effect is largely driven by French-speaking countries in the region. Beyond this statistical revelation, this study underscores the need for a balanced approach to address the ICT-electricity demand interplay. An important conclusion emerges: Embracing digitalization while ensuring energy security and sustainability can unlock economic growth, promote social inclusion, and foster a sustainable future for West Africa.

Title A name given to the resource Research in Globalization Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Richard Kofi Asravor, Lilian Akosua Arthur, Vera Acheampong, Christopher Lamptey, Maxwell Yeboah Description An account of the resource The rate at which Ghana’s domestic debt is increasing has raised concerns among economists and policymakers, due to the former’s potential effect on private sector growth, economic growth rate and debt sustainability. The objective of this study is to examine Ghana’s domestic debt, its sustainability on economic growth rate and the causal relationship between debt and growth. Using data from the World Bank and the Ministry of Finance for the period between 1994 and 2018, we estimate an ARDL Model to examine the effect of domestic debt on economic growth and private sector investment. We adopt the cointegration and fully modified regression to examine domestic debt sustainability. The results indicate that increases in Ghana’s domestic debt are growth-enhancing while increased in importation is growth-inhibiting. The fully modified regression and Johansen co-integration test model also suggest that the recent path of Ghana’s domestic debt is sustainable, though weak.

Title A name given to the resource Nature-inspired search method for location optimization of smart health care system Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Freeman, Israel Edem Agbehadji, Richard C Millham Description An account of the resource This study is an ongoing work to develop a smart mobile health care system for the delivery of health care services to the aged. In this paper, we focus on developing a mapping function algorithm that matches the location of a device used by nurses to that of a patient, especially the aged, to find the optimal distance and direction. After a patient has requested health care service, the algorithm generates random location data, then computes the distances and direction within a geographical location. The mapping function algorithm was inspired by the behaviour of the kestrel bird. The proposed algorithm was evaluated by testing with pre-determined and random location data on latitude and longitudinal data. The experiment results demonstrate that the mapping function was able to find the optimal distance between two different locations.

Title A name given to the resource Emergency remote teaching and learning (ERTL) during COVID-19: the Ghana Communication Technology University Experience Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Esi Akyere Mensah, Isaac Abeku Blankson, Frank Senyo Loglo, Emmanuel Freeman Description An account of the resource In response to the surging COVID-19 pandemic, the government of Ghana shut down all schools on March 16th, 2020. This compelled many higher education institutions globally and in Ghana to adopt emergency remote teaching and learning (ERTL) to ensure continuity of academic work. This chapter chronicles the experiences of Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU) with the ERTL from March 2020 to date. Specifically, the chapter discusses what they did as an institution in terms of ERTL from the perspective of management, faculty, and support services. In this chapter, the authors provide a chronology of experiences with ERTL, the rationale behind actions taken, the mode of implementation, as well as the results of ERTL for faculty and students. Based on these experiences, the chapter advocates for the adoption of the pragmatism, accessibility, content, context, and empathy (PACCE … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IGI Global 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=rQvaaoMAAAAJ&citation_for_view=rQvaaoMAAAAJ: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 Superstition and attitudes towards restoration of a mining-degraded forest reserve: Evidence from Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lilian Arthur, Godwin Kofi Vondolia, Isaac Dasmani Description An account of the resource Forest restoration has become a worldwide phenomenon to minimise the effects of climate change and global warming. However, in most cases, especially in Africa, communities around forests usually have a cultural attachment to these forests. Consequently, the preferences of fringing communities are important to ensure sustainable forest management. However, there seems to be a lack of understanding about how superstition may affect the attitudes of local communities towards forest restoration. This study aimed to examine the effect of superstition on household attitudes and preferences for restoring the Bonsa River Forest Reserve. Primary data was collected from 611 respondents in the Prestea-Huni Valley Municipality in the Western Region of Ghana and were analysed using mixed logit (ML) and generalized multinomial logit (G-MNL) models.

Title A name given to the resource Traditional beliefs and willingness to pay for improving a mining-polluted river in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lilian Arthur, Godwin Kofi Vondolia, Isaac Dasmani Description An account of the resource Pollution of water resources is a widespread challenge across the globe which requires effective policy measures. However, in many instances, state institutions are weak in addressing these problems. One then wonders what alternative management regimes can be used in place of public policies. This study examined the willingness to pay (WTP) for the improvement of the Ankobra River, a mining-polluted river in the Western Region of Ghana, using the contingent valuation method. Primary data was collected from 611 respondents from 8 communities in the Prestea-Huni Valley Municipality and were analysed using probit and interval regression models. The findings suggest that respondents were concerned about the current polluted state of the Ankobra River and traditional beliefs regarding the spiritual value of the river were still very relevant to them. Consequently, respondents with the belief that the river is … 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 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=8wFumg4AAAAJ&citation_for_view=8wFumg4AAAAJ:zYLM7Y9cAGgC Language A language of the resource English
