Title A name given to the resource Emerging challenges, opportunities, and agenda for research, practice, and policy on marketing and brand communications of higher education institutions in Africa Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource The higher education landscape is changing. The global competition for students’ enrolments has increased around the world. Universities are competing within their home market as well as in the international market. As government funding for public universities is reducing, there is pressure on universities to seek additional income by increasing their student enrolment. Attracting and enrolling students has become increasingly more challenging, as student behaviour is changing. These challenges present the need for higher education institutions to be more strategic in their approach to reaching out to prospective students. This concluding chapter on strategic marketing of higher education in Africa presents practical implications and critical insights into strategic marketing and brand communications of higher education institutions in Africa. Agenda for future research were also provided. It is anticipated that this will shape further discussion and theoretical advancement which will be relevant for scholars, students, managers, practitioners, and policymakers in the field of higher education marketing.

In this study, machine learning algorithms such as CNN, k-NN, Naïve Bayes, Decision Tree and SVM were utilized for the study to detect anaemia in children using conjunctiva images. The images were segmented into their various CIELAB colour space components and the ROI from each image was retrieved. The dataset was split randomly into 70:10:20, which were then used to train, validate, and test the models, as appropriate. The CNN achieved the highest accuracy (98.45 %). The findings of this study demonstrate that non-invasive techniques are essential for detecting anaemia in children.

Title A name given to the resource Effects of capital structure choice on profitability of oil marketing companies in Ghana (OMCs): case studies of Ghana Oil Company limited and total petroleum Ghana limited Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Patrick Baah-Acquah, Emmanuel Freeman, Ebenezer Perry Ellis Description An account of the resource Capital structure is actually a mix of different securities. The importance of capital structure cannot be over emphasized since it impacts on firm’s value. Capital structure choices have had significant impacts on shareholders wealth. The study investigated the impact of capital structure on the profitability of Oil Marketing Companies (OMC’s). With regards to the firm’s capital structure, the study employed short-term debt to total capital, long-term debt to total capital and total debt to total capital in comparison with return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and net profit margin (NPM). The study employed secondary data and the data was analysed using multiple regressions. The result reveals that short term debt to total capital, long term debt to total capital, total debt to total capital, firm size, and sales growth, have varying and mixed relationships with profitability in terms of return on asset, and return on equity of the Oil Marketing Companies (OMC’s). The study recommend that companies implement due diligence in considering debt financing decisions, to come out with the best possible financing blend which will maximize profitability for their companies.

Title A name given to the resource Nature-Inspired search method and custom waste object detection and classification model for smart waste bin Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Israel Edem Agbehadji, Abdultaofeek Abayomi, Khac-Hoai Nam Bui, Richard C Millham, Emmanuel Freeman Description An account of the resource Waste management is one of the challenges facing countries globally, leading to the need for innovative ways to design and operationalize smart waste bins for effective waste collection and management. The inability of extant waste bins to facilitate sorting of solid waste at the point of collection and the attendant impact on waste management process is the motivation for this study. The South African University of Technology (SAUoT) is used as a case study because solid waste management is an aspect where SAUoT is exerting an impact by leveraging emerging technologies. In this article, a convolutional neural network (CNN) based model called You-Only-Look-Once (YOLO) is employed as the object detection algorithm to facilitate the classification of waste according to various categories at the point of waste collection. Additionally, a nature-inspired search method is used as learning rate for the CNN model. The custom YOLO model was developed for waste object detection, trained with different weights and backbones, namely darknet53.conv.74, darknet19_448.conv.23, Yolov4.conv.137 and Yolov4-tiny.conv.29, respectively, for Yolov3, Yolov3-tiny, Yolov4 and Yolov4-tiny models. Eight (8) classes of waste and a total of 3171 waste images are used. The performance of YOLO models is considered in terms of accuracy of prediction (Average Precision—AP) and speed of prediction measured in milliseconds. A lower loss value out of a percentage shows a higher performance of prediction and a lower value on speed of prediction. The results of the experiment show that Yolov3 has better accuracy of prediction as compared with Yolov3-tiny … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available MDPI Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2022 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=rQvaaoMAAAAJ&amp;citation_for_view=rQvaaoMAAAAJ:MXK_kJrjxJIC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/553027000b7aa7a4860f5229b07575d6.pdf 9aaf88f1f5310022cc94074da623981f 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 Psychological Contract Fulfilment: A Suitable Umpire Between Transformational Leadership and Employee Engagement in the Ghanaian Public Sector Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kenneth Parku, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Emelia Amoako Asiedu Description An account of the resource Daily transformational leadership behavior encourages employee work engagement. Psychological contract fulfilment significantly enhances employees' and affect employees’ attitude, behavior, engagement and performance in general. The study sought to examine the significant role transformational leadership play in psychological contract and employee engagement. Using a quantitative cross-sectional study approach and a snowball sampling technique, a self-designed questionnaire was used to gather data from two hundred and forty-seven employees from the public sector of Ghana. Hypotheses were tested by means of structural equation modelling with maximum likelihood estimation using Stata 15 software. The findings reveal that Transformation leadership had a positive significant relationship toward psychological contract and also towards employee engagement. Transformational leadership had a positive significant relationship towards employee engagement and also, psychological contract positively mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and employee engagement The study contributes to clarifying and extending the social exchange theory and the job demand resource theory by unravelling how the transformational leaders motivate, encourage and reward employees in the reciprocal relationship between himself and their subordinates.

Title A name given to the resource Perceptions of Internet Usefulness amongst Non-Traditional Exporters in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource The study examined perceptions of Internet usefulness amongst Ghanaian Non-traditional Exporters with the view to understanding usage patterns from perspectives such as levels of internationalization and direction of trade. The results showed that, Ghanaian NTEs with the highest internationalisation (80% - 99%) reckoned the most that the Internet was definitely useful in their exporting activities. NTE businesses, which were over 10 years old, were the most certain about the fact that the Internet plays a key role in their exporting business. In terms of South-South relations, it was amazing to note that NTEs who had exporting relations in the West African sub-region believed the most that, Internet use helped them in their export business. Wholly owned local exporting firms believed the most that, the Internet was key to their exporting more. Majority of NTEs (70%) strongly disagreed with the notion that the Internet is only for technical people, and this is encouraging to the extent that knowledge about the technology and the use of its applications can be more easily diffused amongst Ghanaian NTEs.

Dissecting Public Policy Making in Africa: Theoretica, Analytical, and Methodological Perspectives … Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emelia Amoako-Asiedu, Frank Ohemeng, Theresa Obuobisa-Darko, Mr Kenneth Parku Description An account of the resource The role of traditional leaders (chiefs) in national development in Africa continues to generate significant debate among academics, especially those in the political science, anthropology, and economics literature. Chiefs are seen as local developers, as well as democratic brokers, but not as policy brokers, and thus minimizing their role in the national policy making process. The chiefs' potentially constructive role in national development, is facilitating local development projects, and influencing public policies for national development. We challenge the idea that chiefs are local development and democratic brokers, but rather they serve as policy brokers, ensuring that policies that impact national development are developed by government for the betterment of citizens. We, aslo argue that chiefs continue to play an important role in the process of good governance by serving as policy brokers and this role needs to critically highlighted in the public policy literature. We attempt to answer these questions how effective have traditional rulers (Chiefs) been in their role as policy brokers in Ghana? What specific roles have chiefs played as brokers in the governance and how successful have they been? Using the desktop research approach, it was identified that these traditional leaders are considered as severing as policy brokers in their roles as effecting cultural change, resolving conflict, brokering development projects settling disputes on land, acting as intermediaries and expressing their legitimacy as well as democratic and policy brokers in their significant role in the national policy making process.

A total of eight thousand layers were used for the on-farm study. Total eggs for each strain were determined by recording and counting each day’s production. The defective eggs were sorted out and the totals were recorded. Percentage for the defective eggs were then calculated. Data were taken four times a day at partic-ular time intervals. Strains 1 and 2 were 47 weeks and strain 3 was 82 weeks old at the start of the study. Data collected were analysed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the aid of Genstat, Fifteenth Edition (2012) and the treatment means were separated using the Tukey’s Stu-dentized Range Test. Strain 2 produced the highest number of eggs (p< 0.05) but recorded the low-est percentage of defective eggs (p< 0.05). Strain 3 produced the lowest number of eggs (p< 0.05) and yet recorded the highest percentage of defective eggs (p< 0.05). The number of eggs collected and the percentage of defective eggs were significantly different (p< 0.0) among the strains. The total economic loss as a result of defective was GH¢ 17, 106.43 with strain 3 recording the highest economic loss (GH¢ 8, 304. 77) followed by strain 1 (GH¢ 6, 022.76) which also recorded a higher economic than strain 2 (GH¢ 2, 778.90). It can be concluded that all other factors being equal, strain and age influence the percentage of defective eggs with the type of strain used either in-creasing or decreasing the number of defective eggs; and with older birds producing more defec-tive eggs … 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=eSTq3EQAAAAJ&amp;cstart=20&amp;pagesize=80&amp;citation_for_view=eSTq3EQAAAAJ:mVmsd5A6BfQC 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 Behavioural factors influencing the institutionalisation of performance management in the Ghanaian public sector Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emelia Amoako Asiedu Description An account of the resource Citizens' expectations for efficiency from public servants have caused governments to evaluate employee performance at the public sector. This study sought to establish how behavioural factors influence the implementation and institutionalisation of performance management systems in the public sector. Scholars of performance managements' attribute the neglect of the behavioural aspect of PM as a major factor to the difficulty of its institutionalisation (Dodoo, 1996; Nkrumah, 1991; Ohemeng, 2009, 2011). The qualitative approach was adopted using in-depth interviews in selected ministries in the public service of Ghana. The study found that a successful institutionalisation of PM in Ghana will require giving prominence to behavioural factors such as perception, work attitudes, management interactions and commitments.

Title A name given to the resource Re-Imagining Community-Based Tourism in Rural Africa Through Networks and Management Innovation Description An account of the resource While community-based natural resource management appears common in Africa, management innovation (MI) in community-based tourism (CBT) on the continent has received limited attention. This chapter contributes to the innovative management of CBT promoted through recruiting actors that might seem remote ordinarily in tourism governance. We noted complexities in managing CBTs with multi-actors and diverse interests. Using actor network theory (ANT) and MI, we argue that CBT can be managed innovatively by recruiting diverse transnational, national and local actors, institutions, and discourses. It entails a complex and interactive engagement with actors that help in marketing, promoting, and tourism infrastructure development. MI in CBT is analysed within a network perspective of enrolling actors into a tourism system to pursue communal and corporate agenda. And lessons from CBTs in Ghana and South Africa highlight that (un)successful CBT is contingent on effective recruiting and enrolling of actors to promote resilient and inclusive tourism.
