Title A name given to the resource Assessment of Strategies for Improving Occupational Safety Culture in Ghana Cocoa Board Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Kingsley Edzii Description An account of the resource Human related mischances in high hazard businesses like Quality Control Organization (QCC) Restricted add up to a noteworthy monetary danger and acquire huge harms, causing over the top operational expenses and death toll. For instance, QCC utilizes chemicals, for example, Detia gas for fumigation, pyrethrin for misting and part of these chemicals has genuine repercussions if appropriate security measures are not considered. As per (Anon, 2011), presentation of the skin to chemicals can bring about physical inconvenience and agony, loss of work time and salary, powerlessness to perform employment or loss of occupation, restorative costs, personal satisfaction issues and social debilitations. Again substance introduction to the skin can bring about either worldly harm to the skin or perpetual wellbeing harm to the skin. Some transitory harm incorporate dry, red, broke skin, from contact with water, cleansers, gas and certain kinds of solvents. The reason for this investigation is to survey the health and safety hones and to decide the systems for enhancing security culture in QCC and furthermore to decide the level of consistence of Wellbeing and Wellbeing guidelines in QCC, Ghana COCOBOB. Polls were readied and through the straightforward arbitrary testing strategy staff and administration were chosen. Their reactions were assembled and dissected deliberately utilizing Microsoft Exceed expectations to distinguish the potential techniques expected to enhance the word related health and safety of the staff of QCC. After cautious perception of the respondents' perspectives the examination turns out with the view that Ghana COCOBOD, Takoradi has a decent security culture. Be that as it may, their security culture can be enhanced if a specific office is put aside for entirely wellbeing issues. Once more, the greater part of their security hones are as per the practices stipulated in the Ghana Work Demonstration of 2003. Be that as it may, the dedication of administration in specific zones, for example, the arrangement of satisfactory assets is brief time and the administration ought to be concerned. Again from the examinations, the introduction on security alone isn't sufficient and more instruction ought to be done on wellbeing issues.

Title A name given to the resource The Impact of Quality Improvement on Healthcare Delivery in Ghana: A Case Study of National Catholic Health Service Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Rock Kumah Description An account of the resource Healthcare consumers are becoming more critical with the quality of healthcare they receive. As a result, there are increasing complaints about the poor quality of healthcare received in the public domain. Under-five mortality (U5M) is one of the key indicators in the determination of the quality of health of a nation. The Ministry of Health (MOH) and its agencies have over the years tried to reduce U5M to accelerate Ghana’s efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) 4 by 2015 but with little success. The National Catholic Health Service (NCHS) in collaboration with Institute for Health Improvement (IHI) piloted the model for improvement, a quality improvement (QI) programme in nine catholic hospitals to reduce U5M and infant mortality. The purpose of the study is to assess the impact of the QI programme implemented by the NCHS. A mixed method approach and a cross-sectional design were used. Secondary data on U5M were collected from 2007 and 2015 and analysed. A modified version of Shortell’s QI instrument was administered to a sample of 51 midwives and 48 paediatric nurses from three selected catholic hospitals, namely; Techiman Holy Family, St. Francis Xavier and Our Lady of Grace. Frequencies and cross tabulations were used in the data analysis and presentation of results. Seven core management members from the three selected hospitals and one management staff of the NCHS were interviewed and data analysed using thematic content analysis approach. The results show that, all the nine hospitals made great improvement in U5M when the implementation was at its peak. However, only three out of the nine hospitals were able to sustain the improvements made. Key factors that led to the inability of the hospitals to sustain improvements were identified and they include the organisational culture of the hospitals, management commitment and employee involvement. The findings provided an opportunity to develop a hybrid model which could be adopted by the MOH and its agencies to aid in the successful implementation of QI programmes in healthcare.

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 Assessing the Challenges of Implementing an Effective Plan in a Peculiar Socio-Cultural Environment Such As Niger Delta Region A Study of Niger Delta Development Commission (Nddc) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isichei Isioma Martin Description An account of the resource In the Niger Delta Region today, we have a poorly diversified economy due to the over reliance on oil assets. To make matters worse these oil assets are continually harvested in a manner that is degrading the environment with low levels of returns to the economy at large. While the government has tried to set up a proper developmental plan with the commissioning of the Niger Delta development commission (NDDC), there has been challenges in doing this as some problems prevent effective execution of this plan. This study will assess these problems with a view of finding a root cause and then establishing a resolution or control for these problems. A targeted sample size of 399 respondents as people of Niger Delta representing nine states involving Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa, Cross River, Ondo, Abia, Imo and Edo State were all sampled using stratified sampling technique, this was done to get a general view of the reasons for the failure of the different agencies in proffering lasting solution to the lingering crises and agitation for commensurate development in the Niger Delta. The arithmetical approaches of measurements used here were regularity distributions, percentages, means and standard deviations. The study found that lack of proper education of the people, lack of air pollution control and devices by industries, poor enforcement of the administrative management and regulatory agency are the major challenges hampering the development of this constituency by these agencies. Also, the culture of the people of the Niger Delta seem not to respect human dignity and decency since it has been left un-catered for decades while exploration has continued, the present government efforts is not enough to assure the people of the promised sustainable development based on the corruption culture bedevilling all government agencies.

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&hl=en&user=rQvaaoMAAAAJ&citation_for_view=rQvaaoMAAAAJ:MXK_kJrjxJIC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/10bf4eb8b5cf80e63d1e4c5404b9913f.pdf 9d326a3f5182e7f23fdc89ae685f478c 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 Fused Multi-Domains and Adaptive Variational Mode Decomposition ECG Feature Extraction for Lightweight Bio-Inspired Key Generation and Encryption Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Israel Edem Agbehadji, Richard C Millham, Emmanuel Freeman, Wanqing Wu, Xianbin Zhang Description An account of the resource Security is one of the increasingly significant issues given advancements in technology that harness data from multiple devices such as the internet of medical devices. While protecting data from unauthorized user access, several techniques are used including fingerprints, passwords, and others. One of the techniques that has attracted much attention is the use of human features, which has proven to be most effective because of the difficulties in impersonating human-related features. An example of a human-related attribute includes the electrical signal generated from the heart, mostly referred to as an Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. The methods to extract features from ECG signals are time domain-based; however, the challenge with relying only on the time-domain or frequency-domain method is the inability to capture the intra-leading relationship of Variational Mode Decomposition signals.

Title A name given to the resource Migration from low to high voltage distribution system: An optimization of selected unit transformers using linear programming with MATLAB Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Issah B Majeed, Amevi Acakpovi, George Eduful, Mathias B Michael, Ruhiya Abubakar Description An account of the resource This paper evaluates HVDS and LVDS concepts by system performance. This is achieved by examining system losses on HV and LV distribution networks in radial AC distribution systems. Challenges associated with system losses may demand network conversion from LV to HV network. This paper addresses this issue by using HVDS optimization specifically, linear programming techniques with Matlab optimization toolbox to determine the optimal number of unit transformers in the HV network. Studies conducted on a test distribution system using CYMEDIST software show the optimized HVDS has improved voltage profile and a total system loss reduction of 29.50% as compared to the LVDS. Consequently, there is reduced operational cost and increased annual capitalized loss savings in the optimized HVDS.

Title A name given to the resource Determining and forecasting financial inclusion in Northern Ghana using discriminant analysis Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Issahaku Yakubu, Romanus Dinye, Daniel Buor, Wahab A Iddrisu Description An account of the resource Poverty and income inequality remain a serious challenge in Northern Ghana. Given the causal link between financial inclusion and poverty reduction, this paper aims at estimating a discriminant function model to analyze the determinants of financial inclusion in Northern Ghana. The study is mainly based on primary data elicited through survey questionnaires. Even though the minimum sample size was determined to be 385 households, a total of 400 households were selected systematically, out of which 395 households returned their questionnaires for analysis. The estimated discriminant function model was found to be significant at the 1% level of significance. It was also found that, the most significant determinants of financial inclusion in Northern Ghana (in order of importance) are “Age”,“Cost”,“Capability”,“Literacy”,“Distance”, and “Employment”. Overall, 72.4% of the cases were correctly classified by the estimated model. This paper therefore concludes that there is the need for Government and donors to make coordinated efforts towards addressing these determinants so as to broaden financial inclusion, thereby contributing to poverty reduction and lower income inequalities in the area.
