Title A name given to the resource Assessing the influence of pod storage on sugar and free amino acid profiles and the implications on some Maillard reaction related flavor volatiles in Forastero cocoa beans Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Michael Hinneh, Evangeline Semanhyia, Davy Van de Walle, Ann De Winne, Daylan Amelia Tzompa-Sosa, Gustavo Luis Leonardo Scalone, Bruno De Meulenaer, Kathy Messens, Jim Van Durme, Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Luc De Cooman, Koen Dewettinck Description An account of the resource The practice of pod storage (PS) has been applied in many cocoa producing countries, especially by Ghanaian farmers over the years. However, the study of PS has not received much attention, hence, until now, its potential impact on specific flavor precursor development and implications on the flavor of cocoa beans still remains uncovered. The study was therefore aimed at exploring this possibility through physico-chemical and flavor precursor analyses, carried out on equally fermented and dried pod stored (0, 3 and 7 days) Ghanaian cocoa beans. Flavor analysis was also conducted on equally roasted pod stored cocoa beans. Through visual assessment of the pods, pulp and beans, the compelling impact of PS on fermentation index (FI) and nib acidity could be demonstrated by the various biochemical and physical changes such as respiration, moisture reduction, and cellular degradation, occurring during … 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 2018 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=EZuX1N8AAAAJ&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=EZuX1N8AAAAJ:SFU-2amZ4xQC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/2529aced32e775ae4bcecba5dd77146a.pdf dc7586f740f70fa78e9ba4b1468cf1c5 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 Development and Validation of Work Place Integrity Scale; Evidence from Ghana. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Eric Atta Appiadjei, George Oppong Ampong, Samuel Akwasi Danso, Kennedy Annor Koranchie Description An account of the resource This article developed and validated work place integrity scale that are applicable across industries. Responded questionnaire perceived to contribute to integrity were subjected to principal components analysis. Overall Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.843 was reported. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value was 0.887, whiles the Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity reached statistical significance, supporting the use of factor analysis. Total variance explained initially, revealed the presence of six components with eigenvalues 24.973%, 8.309%, 5.045%, 4.843%, 4.077%, 3.969% of the variance respectively contributing to a cumulative variance of 51.2%. Using Cattell’s scree test, it was decided to retain components 1&2 for further investigation. To aid in the interpretation of these two components, oblimin rotation was performed which resulted in a simple pattern matrix with 2 components showing a number of strong loadings. The resulted component correlation matrix was very strong (0.346). The two-component solution explained a total of 33.2% of the variance, with Component 1 contributing 24.9% and Component 2 contributing 8.3%. The resulted pattern matrix relating to component 1 supports the non-usage of inducement to assess the integrity of a person, whiles component 2 support the use of inducement to assess the integrity of a person.

Title A name given to the resource Examining Self-Disclosure on Social Networking Sites: A Flow Theory and Privacy Perspective Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Aseda Mensah, George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong, Adolph Sedem Yaw Adu, John Agyekum Addae, Osaretin Kayode Omoregie, Kwame Simpe Ofori Description An account of the resource Social media and other web 2.0 tools have provided users the platform to interact and also disclose personal information not only with their friends and acquaintances, but also with relative strangers with unprecedented ease. This has enhanced the ability of people to share more about themselves, their families, and their friends through a variety of media including text, photo, and video, thus developing and sustaining social and business relationships. The purpose of the paper is to identify the factors that predict self-disclosure on social networking sites within the Ghanaian context. Data was collected from 452 students in three leading universities in Ghana and analyzed with Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling. Results from the study revealed that all variables in the proposed model with the exception of interaction and perceived control were significant predictors of self-disclosure with privacy risk being the most significant predictor. In all, the model accounted for 54.6 percent of the variance in self disclosure. The implications and limitations of the current study are discussed and directions for future research proposed.

This research aims to elucidate fine flavor dynamics during fermentation by analyzing the sugar, free amino acid (FAA) and volatile profile. Ecuadorian Trinitario beans (Sacha Gold) were sampled after 0, 18, 24, 48 and 66 h of spontaneous fermentation. The unfermented beans contained significant sucrose, glutamic acid and asparagine amounts while the fermented beans (66 h) contained more flavor precursors, e.g. glucose, fructose, hydrophobic and other FAA. Forty-one volatiles were identified, including 13 fruity- and 12 floral-like, derived from various metabolic pathways. Whereas the level of fatty acid-derived fruity volatiles decreased, the amount of amino acid-derived fruity and floral volatiles increased and floral terpenes remained stable.

Title A name given to the resource An Empirical Study on the Adoption Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kwame Simpe Ofori1 Kwabena G Boakye, John Agyekum Addae, George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong Description An account of the resource With the ever-increasing internet penetration in Ghana, e-commerce development seems to be on the ascendency. However, users are reluctant to patronize these online sites due to the lack of trust. While literature is inundated with numerous B2B and B2C e-commerce studies, little is known about C2C ecommerce. Thus, our study contributes to the e-commerce literature, seeking to extend knowledge by integrating the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model with the Initial Trust Model (ITM) to explore user adoption of C2C e-commerce in an emerging market. Data was collected from 193 university students who have had some experience with some Ghanaian C2C websites and analyzed using the Partial Least Squares approach to Struc-tural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Results from the model showed that Performance Expectancy had the most significant effect on Behavioral Intention, followed by Trust. Behavioral Intention was also found to significantly predict Actual Usage. In all, our model accounted for about 51% of the variability in Actual Use. The proposed model is useful in understanding trust in the C2C context. Results from this work could inform strategies to be taken by these C2C websites to attract visitors to such websites.

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 The Interplay Between Privacy, Trust and Self-disclosure on Social Networking Sites Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong Description An account of the resource Social Networking Sites (SNSs) have become an essential part of the daily lives of billions of people worldwide. Because SNS service providers use a revenue model that relies on data licensing (selling of user data), they share user data with other parties such as government institutions and private businesses. Sharing of user data to third parties raises several privacy concerns. Apart from privacy issues emanating from SNSs sharing user information with third parties, privacy issues may also emanate from users sharing information with SNS members. This study is motivated by the researchers’ interest in investigating self-disclosure amongst Ghanaians especially from the perspective of privacy and trust primarily because of recent reports of revenge pornography and other self-disclosure related privacy violations on SNSs in Ghana.

Title A name given to the resource Fat bloom development and structure-appearance relationships during storage of under-tempered dark chocolates Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Alistair Paterson, Mark Fowler, Joselio Vieira Description An account of the resource Fat bloom development and associated changes in microstructure, texture, appearance and melting properties were studied. Dark chocolates varying in particle size (PS) (D90 of 18, 25, 35 and 50μm) were processed and pre-crystallised to under-temper regime. Bloom was induced by storing products under ambient conditions (18±2°C, RH 50%) and changes in texture, surface whiteness, gloss and melting properties evaluated on cooling and after every 24h in storage until reaching asymptotic values. Microstructure of products were characterised during blooming using stereoscopic binocular microscopy. Measurements on texture and surface whiteness showed initial rapid increases with consequential reductions in gloss within the first 96h, followed by gradually decreasing gradient until reaching asymptotic levels. Storage influenced melting properties (Tonset, Tend, Tpeak and ΔHmelt) in products causing … 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 2009 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=EZuX1N8AAAAJ&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=EZuX1N8AAAAJ:UebtZRa9Y70C Language A language of the resource English
