Title A name given to the resource Exploring the Impact of Urbanization on Renewable and Fossil Fuel Use in Developing Economies Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaiah Sikayena, Eric Abokyi, Felix Ofosu Boateng, Kwadwo Ankomah Description An account of the resource Urbanization and industrialization are twin forces with the potential to bring about significant economic and social progress. However, if not managed properly, they can lead to environmental degradation due to the escalated consumption of fossil fuels. This study examines the impacts of urbanization and industrialization on fossil fuel consumption, as well as on the consumption of renewable energy. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) and Canonical Cointegrating Regression (CCR) estimation procedures were used. The study found an inverted U-shape relationship between urbanization and renewable energy consumption, while an increasing monotone relationship was found for urbanization and fossil fuel consumption. The Lind and Mehlum test provided sufficient conditions for the existence of an inverted U shape between urbanization and renewable energy consumption, and the turning point was obtained for policy purposes. Another key finding from the study revealed that in Ghana, the use of fossil fuels is a key driver of industrialization, rather than renewable energy sources. Additionally, the results of the generalized forecast error variance decomposition (GFEVD) provided interesting insights. The policy implications of these findings have been thoroughly discussed.

Title A name given to the resource Exploring the link between operational efficiency and firms’ financial performance: An empirical evidence from the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mohammed Musah, Yusheng Kong, Isaac Adjei Mensah Description An account of the resource The purpose of this study was to explore the link between operational efficiency and the financial performance of non-financial firms listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). Specifically, the study sought to determine the association between operational efficiency and the firms’ financial performance as measured by ROA; examine the connection between operational efficiency and the firms’ financial performance as measured by ROE; and to find out the affiliation between operational efficiency and the firms’ financial performance as measured by ROCE. Panel data sourced from the audited and published annual reports of fifteen (15) listed non-financial firms for the period 2008 to 2017 was used for the study. From the study’s Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient technique of data analysis, operational efficiency had a significantly negative association with the firms’ financial performance as measured by ROA [r=-0.2981,(p= 0.0002)< 0.05]. Operational efficiency also had an insignificantly adverse relationship with the firms’ financial performance as measured by ROE [r=-0.0411,(p= 0.6174)> 0.05]. Finally, operational efficiency had an insignificantly inverse affiliation with the firms’ financial performance as measured by ROCE [r=-0.0055,(p= 0.9471)> 0.05]. In order to have increased levels of financial performance, managers of non-financial firms listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) should carefully plan and forecast their activities by taken into consideration, the fluctuations in their operational efficiency. This is because, operational efficiency have been widely proven to have a statistically significant relationship with firms … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2019 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=-U-tBVYAAAAJ&amp;citation_for_view=-U-tBVYAAAAJ:qjMakFHDy7sC 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 Exploring Users' Continuance Intention Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Aseda Mensah¹, Kwame Simpe Ofori, George Oppong Appiagye Ampong, John Agyekum Addae Description An account of the resource The functionalities of most Social Networking Sites allow users to enjoy practical benefits like maintaining important social and business rela-tionships, communicating with others, and getting feedback on important shared information. However, the place of SNSs as a source of entertainment and enjoyment is also well-documented. The purpose of the paper is to identify the factors that predict continuance use of social networking sites from the per-spective of mobile value. Data was collected from 452 students in three leading universities in Ghana and analyzed with Partial Least Square-Structural Equa-tion Modeling. Results from the study revealed that both hedonic value and utilitarian value were significant predictors of continuance intention. Satisfaction was also found to be a significant predictor of continuance intention. In all, the model accounted for 55.6% of the variance in continuance intention. The study also provides important contributions to the literature, by demonstrating the significance of both utilitarian and hedonic value in leading to satisfaction with the usage of mobile SNS services. The implications and limitations of the current study are discussed and directions for future research proposed.

Title A name given to the resource Exposure assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from the consumption of processed cowhide (Wele), a West African delicacy Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dominic Acquah-Baidoo, Nicole Sharon Affrifah, Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Firibu Kwesi Saalia Description An account of the resource This study describes the occurrence and profile of eight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in fresh and cooked processed cowhide (wele) singed with different fuels. It also assessed the health risks associated with the consumption of this popular delicacy. The 8PAHs were all detected in the wele samples singed with scrap tires, whereas 5 and 3 carcinogenic PAHs were detected in the firewood and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) singed wele, respectively. For each of the specific PAH detected, the contents in the wele samples were generally ranked as scrap tires > firewood > LPG. The average concentrations of benzo[a]pyrene for cooked wele samples were 2.75 ng g−1(firewood) and 22.85 ng g−1(scrap tires); exceeding the 2.0 ng g−1 European Commission regulation maximum levels (MLs) for smoked products.

The combined effect of cowpea (0–20%), groundnut (0–10%) and feed moisture (12.02–44.06%) were used to formulate the products. Product moisture, protein, fat, ash, bulk density, expansion ratio, water absorption capacity (WAC) and swelling capacity were determined. Well‐expanded rice‐legume blend extrudates of less bulk density and lower moisture content were produced at low feed moisture. Addition of legumes resulted in significant increases in protein, fat and ash contents of the rice‐legume extrudates while increasing cowpea increased all the physico‐functional properties. The models developed gave R2 values ranging from 64.01% (WAC at 70C) to 86.5% (bulk density) and suggested that the optimal process … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Blackwell Publishing Inc Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2012 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=EZuX1N8AAAAJ&amp;pagesize=80&amp;citation_for_view=EZuX1N8AAAAJ:hFOr9nPyWt4C Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/e19746e373d4a761b82b261a766958c3.pdf d4b7678530e34b16dcacb48297118660 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 Factors affecting MOOC usage by students in selected Ghanaian universities Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Eli Fianu, Craig Blewett, George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong, Kwame Simpe Ofori Description An account of the resource There has been widespread criticism about the rates of participation of students enrolled on MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), more importantly, the percentage of students who actively consume course materials from beginning to the end. The current study sought to investigate this trend by examining the factors that influence MOOC adoption and use by students in selected Ghanaian universities. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) was extended to develop a research model. A survey was conducted with 270 questionnaires administered to students who had been assigned MOOCs; 204 questionnaires were retrieved for analysis. Findings of the study show that MOOC usage intention is influenced by computer self-efficacy, performance expectancy, and system quality. Results also showed that MOOC usage is influenced by facilitating conditions, instructional quality, and MOOC usage intention. Social influence and effort expectancy were found not to have a significant influence on MOOC usage intention. The authors conclude that universities must have structures and resources in place to promote the use of MOOCs by students. Computer skills training should also be part of the educational curriculum at all levels. MOOC designers must ensure that the MOOCs have good instructional quality by using the right pedagogical approaches and also ensure that the sites and learning materials are of good quality.
