Title A name given to the resource The Impact of Gifmis On Procurement Processes at the Ghana Health Service Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kwabena Amponsah Afrani-Nyarko Description An account of the resource An Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) has been deemed to be a perfect financial information system developed to improve and streamline public financial management by computerizing government financial operations (Rodin-Brown, 2008). In light of this, donors and international organizations such as the World Bank, USAID and the IMF played vital roles in supporting developed countries through combinations of technical assistance, training, financial resources and procurement support projects. As such, the Ghanaian government is a huge institution that would benefit from a unified information system such as the Integrated Financial Management Information System, which supports high productivity, effective management as well as quality services offered to its citizenry. Ghana is expected to reap many benefits after the implementation of the GIFMIS including transparent and accountable public financial management, accurate information on budgetary allocation, prompt payment processing, increased performance and efficient revenue collection. After Ghana adopted and launched IFMIS in the year 2009, this study seeks to investigate the effects of the Ghana Integrated Financial Management Information Systems (GIFMIS) on procurement processes at the Ghana Health Service as well as analyzing the factors that affected the implementation of GIFMIS at the Ghana Health Service. Existing literature was reviewed by the researcher to form the conceptual framework, findings, conclusions as well as the recommendations. Descriptive survey research design was employed and structured questionnaire were used for the collection of data for a sample size of 60 made up of staff from the Planning Monitoring and Evaluation, ICT, Accounts and Finance, Policy, and Procurement departments. The findings were presented in the form of frequency tables. The study revealed that procurement Subject The topic of the resource Msc.

Title A name given to the resource The Role of Alternative Funding Sources in Health Care Financing: A Case Study of Ghana’s National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS). Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Golda Shamiria Meir Asmah Description An account of the resource Health care Financing has become a major concern for many countries because it ensures that the health care needs of all citizens of a country are catered for during times of ill health. Since the inception of the NHIS, there has been a progressive widening of its funding gap mainly due to inadequate funding sources, which is threatening the sustainability of the scheme. This motivated the study to be conducted to establish the role of Alternative Funding sources in Health Care Financing, using Ghana’s NHIS as a case study. A mixture of qualitative and quantitative approaches was adopted to address the research objectives. Both primary and secondary data were used for data collection. Purposive and convenience sampling techniques were used for the study to administer questionnaires to a sample of eighty (80) staff of the operations division of the NHIA out of a population of hundred (100) staff. Regression and correlation analysis were performed based on secondary data from NHIS. The results of the study revealed various sustainable alternative funding sources that could bridge the funding gap and enhance the health system of Ghana. The study also found that, a positive relationship exists between the membership subscription and income growth. It recorded a regression coefficient of 0.97 and a sig. value of 0.001. Further, measures to control the rising expenditure were found. Notwithstanding, some challenges could be faced in the long term as a result of the measures. From the study, it is recommended that government with the aid of parliament, Labor Union heads and stakeholders modify the health financing system of Ghana. Also, NHIA’s Management should review income from premium payment upwards and revise the exemption list of the scheme. Also a gradual implementation of co-payment forms should be introduced by management of NHIS to reduce the funding gap.

Title A name given to the resource Using Capability Maturity Model to Assess the Effectiveness of Information Security Controls in an Organization Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lewis Kwaku Duah Description An account of the resource Many organizations have deployed various systems to facilitate the operations of their businesses, largely due to the benefits derived from the use of information technology. In spite of the numerous benefits derived from the use of information technology, its use brings about increased risks and/or threats to business processes. There is therefore the important task of protecting these systems from abuse and exploitation by both internal and external factors. To achieve this, organizations deploy and institute various controls to mitigate identified and inherent risks. In spite of these implemented controls, organizations have lost huge amounts of funds, resources and trade secrets with its attendant loss in reputation from compromises in their systems. These compromises could have been averted and cost to the organization minimized or eliminated with continuous auditing by internal and external entities which would have highlighted the areas of weakness to enable the organization address them. The study was to provide organizations with an avenue to assess the effectiveness of implemented information security controls using the capability maturity model. A conceptual audit framework was also developed from which audit test cases can be created to test the implemented controls.

Title A name given to the resource : Melamine Contamination of Infant Formula in China: The Causes, Food Safety Issues and Public Health Implications Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource E Ohene Afoakwa Description An account of the resource Melamine-an industrial chemical-was recently found in infant formula in China but it has since spiralled to other food categories that use milk powder as an ingredient, such as chocolate, biscuits and eggs. As of September 21, 2008, a total of 52,857 cases of nephrolithiasis (and, in some instances, renal failure) had been reported in China linked to consumption of this contaminated powdered formula. There have been approximately 13,000 hospitalizations, and at least 4 deaths confirmed to date. The vast majority of illnesses involved children under the age of 3 years (82%< 2 years; 17% 2-3 years; 0.8%> 3 years; and no cases involved adults). The results of an investigation conducted in China indicated that Chinese-produced powdered infant formula was linked to these illnesses; no cases were associated with liquid infant formula. An investigation of powdered formulas was conducted nationally by China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) and revealed contaminant ion of powdered formulas produced by 22 companies. Test results conducted in China on samples of the powdered infant formula showed that they contained a wide range of concentrations (0.1 ppm to greater than 2,500 ppm melamine powder. In addition, other countries have reported detection of melamine in other product categories, such as confections and beverages. Generally, there are available analytical methods that can reliably detect a level of 1 ppm melamine in some food matrices.

Title A name given to the resource : Modelling tempering behaviour of dark chocolates from varying particle size distribution and fat content using response surface methodology Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource E Ohene Afoakwa, P Alistair, M Fowler, J Vieira Description An account of the resource Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) for K= 2 was used to study the combined effects of multi-stage heat exchangers for Stages 1 (14–30 C) and 2 (12–28 C) coolant temperatures at constant Stage 3 coolant and holding temperatures during tempering of dark chocolates using laboratory-scale mini-temperer. Quantitative data on chocolate temper index (slope) were obtained for products with varying particle size distribution (PSD)(D90 of 18, 25, 35 and 50 μm) and fat (30% and 35%) content. Regression models generated using stepwise regression analyses were used to plot response surface curves, to study the tempering behaviour of products. The results showed that both Stage 1 and Stage 2 coolant temperatures had significant linear and quadratic effects on the crystallization behaviour causing wide variations in chocolate temper index during tempering of products with variable PSD and fat content. Differences in fat content exerted the greatest variability in temperature settings of the different zones for attaining well-tempered products. At 35% fat content, changes in PSD caused only slight and insignificant effect on tempering behaviour. No unique set of conditions was found to achieve good temper in dark chocolate with a specified tempering unit. Thus, different combinations of temperatures could be employed between the multi-stage heat exchangers to induce nucleation and growth of stable fat crystal polymorphs during tempering. Variations in tempering outcomes of the dark chocolates were dependent more on the fat content than PSD.

Title A name given to the resource “Build It and They Will Come?” A Case Study of the Use of a Wiki in a Higher Education Research Unit Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ting Yuan, Jeannie Crowley, Stephen Asunka, Hui Soo Chae, Gary Natriello Description An account of the resource With collaborative web technologies such as wikis becoming increasingly popular in the workplace, this case study examined how workers at an education research unit within a graduate school of education perceive the wiki as a platform for communication and collaboration, and the extent to which they actually use a workplace wiki for that purpose. Twenty staff members, for whom a wiki was built, were surveyed, while records of their activities on the wiki over a 6-month period were retrieved and analyzed. Findings reveal that though most of these staff members have positive views towards the wiki as a space that can effectively promote information sharing and collaboration, they are not quite as enthusiastic about engaging the wiki as a medium for their daily collaborative work activities. The possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed together with recommendations on the strategies similar organizations can adopt to help encourage and maximize wiki usage in the workplace.

Title A name given to the resource “Implications of Cloud Computing On Non-Governmental Organizations” “…Issues Of Data Sharing And Security”. . Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Bakaweri Batowise Emmanuel Subject The topic of the resource MSc. Management Information Systems Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Ghana Technology University College Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource May 2017 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Dr. Ezer Osie Yeboah-Boateng Description An account of the resource Non-governmental organizations operating within the Ghanaian community continue to play a pivotal role in addressing the disparity between rural and urban areas. The activities of these organizations are multifaceted and seen in the various projects or programs that they undertake. Globally the use of information technology tools and applications presents various added benefits to any organization that choose to apply and effectively utilize these tools. At a time when the global call for open data and collaboration between such organizations is highest, NGOs continue to deploy high capital expensive IT infrastructures to meet this purpose as well as the technological needs of their organizations. In addition to these high setup costs, organizations constantly have to monitor, repair and guard these computing systems from security and data breeches. Today cloud computing has been hyped as a feature technology that is being adopted by SMEs and larger corporate organizations as a major enabler of business functions. Although this new paradigm is considered to be in its developmental stages, the recorded benefits have invariable challenged the traditional aspects of computing services among enterprises. This study seeks to encourage the adoption and utilization of cloud technologies for business operations and data sharing among NGOs. More specifically, the study sought to investigate the levels of adoption and utilization of cloud services among various NGOs, benefits and risks that implementers of this technology are likely to encounter in its implementation as well as industry’s practices for mitigating these risks. The results of the study showed that although most individuals alluded to being familiar with the concept of cloud computing, the levels of adoption and utilization of the technology among the larger NGO community was found to be low. From perusal of literary sources, it was also established that cloud adopters spend less on IT architectures that suit their business needs through rapid and easy provisioning of these service, flexibility in scaling up or down IT resources, disaster recovery, data security as well as increased productivity through collaboration. Cloud computing’s risks pertinent to data security, confidentiality, availability; service level agreements, segregation and reliability were also recognized. In conclusion, the study recommends further sensitization and education about cloud computing’s benefits to encourage its adoption and use by NGOs. Likely adopters of this technology are also advised to ensure the development of good holistic service level agreements to prevent legal issues that may arise from implementing cloud and for a smooth cloud experience.
