Title A name given to the resource The use of bauxite as an arsenic filter Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource SA Ndur, H Osei, CE Abbey, Theophilus Joe-Asare Description An account of the resource Arsenic (As) has the potential to negatively affect soils and groundwater quality, and cause several public health challenges. It is usually concentrated and released during metal mining of ores that contains arsenic-bearing minerals. Remediation strategies are in place to avoid pollution. In this study, bauxite from Awaso, Ghana, was characterised, and its ability to sequester As was tested under varying conditions of temperature, Eh and pH. The study showed that the best particle size in the range utilised was 80% passing 2 mm as it allowed easy percolation, and As removal was about 95%. The reaction is a favourable pseudo-second order reaction that is spontaneous and thermodynamically stable and compares well with the Langmuir Sorption Isotherm. About 80% sorption was achieved within 20 minutes of contact with low desorption rate of less than 1.8%. The study thus concludes that bauxite is a good filter for arsenic.

Title A name given to the resource Relationships among causal factors influencing mine accidents using structural equation modelling Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theophilus Joe-Asare, Eric Stemn, Newton Amegbey Description An account of the resource Accidents occur due to a series of interactions between deficiencies within the various levels of a sociotechnical system. Quantifying the relationship between upper and lower levels helps develop accident countermeasures focusing on significant organisational latent conditions. This study explores the relationship between the causal factors of accidents within Ghanaian mines using SEM. Data obtained from the analysis of incident reports using HFACS-GMI were quantified to enable its use in the SEM software, as SEM calculations cannot be done using a 0/1 description. The study also tests five hypotheses, including the basic assumption of the HFACS model. The case study results showed that organisational factors significantly influence workplace/individual conditions; upper causal categories do not only influence adjacent immediate lower causal categories, and partial correlations exist between causal … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Taylor & Francis Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=4--inMwAAAAJ&citation_for_view=4--inMwAAAAJ:eQOLeE2rZwMC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/6625a495f1611d361552fa0b113a353f.pdf f2e5cd4c00c2fc80e22c85011bb9bba7 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 Strategies for Institutionalizing Blended Learning in Higher Education Institutions: A Case Study of a Ghanaian Public University Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Antwi-Boampong Description An account of the resource This paper presents strategies adopted by a higher education institution towards the implementation of its BL policy framework. It does so by reviewing the BL implementation process of a public university in Ghana, noting that there are barriers that have impeded the uptake of blended learning, for which reasons it examines the strategies that can be implemented to overcome these barriers. The insights are drawn from a case study involving qualitative approaches, utilizing interviews with stakeholders in the public university. The paper examines the question: How do educational institutions employ Blended Learning (BL) strategies that contribute to the transformation of the university? Using an inductive approach, the researcher interviewed twenty-two management staff and used Strauss and Corbin’s constant comparative method as the analytical technique to analyze the data. This paper develops an institutional strategy framework that can be used by managers in higher education to facilitate change processes, overcome faculty resistance, and embed blended learning in institutions. The seven constructs of this strategic framework consist of institutional vision and approach, promotion and planning, integrated infrastructure, motivation and encouragement, training, assessment and evaluation and sanctions.

Title A name given to the resource Applicability and Usefulness of the HFACS-GMI Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theophilus Joe-Asare, E Stemn, N Amegbey Description An account of the resource To present information such as causes of accidents and their consequences on the Ghanaian mining industry in the safety literature, classification schemes for incident analysis within the safety literature were studied. Human Factor Analysis and Classification Scheme (HFACS) emerged suitable for incident analysis. Base on its suitability for incident analysis within the Ghanaian Mining Industry (GMI), a derivative of the HFACS, namely HFACS-GMI, was proposed. This research seeks to study the usefulness and the applicability of the HFACS-GMI. Collectively, 56 incident investigation reports were obtained from an open cast gold mine in Ghana and analysed using the HFACS-GMI. Two cases, an equipment damage incident and an injury incident, were used to demonstrate the coding processing in identifying the causal factors. The analysis shows that most mishaps are associated with adverse workplace/operator conditions (151 references), with the physical environment (72.2%) being cited as the major causal code under the tier. Management decision showed a major contribution (74.1%) to mishap under the causal codes. Most cases were attributed to mistake error (57.4%) followed by the contravention (51.1%) of set rules and procedures with the operator's act tiers. Inadequate work standards (27.8%) and failure to ensure competency (24.1%) under the operational process and leadership flaw causal codes, respectively, were identified as the most cited nanocode. Management decision is critical in a mishap and should be given much attention in developing accident prevention strategies.

Title A name given to the resource Exploring the Determinants of Employee Intentions to Participate in a BYOD Program in Ghana: The Mediating Role of Habit Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Augustine Blay, David King Boison, Ahmed Antwi-Boampong, Ebenezer Malcalm Description An account of the resource This study investigates the factors influencing employees' intentions to enroll in a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program in Ghana, with a specific focus on the mediating role of habit. The purpose of this research is to assess the role of habit. The research design involves a random sample of 250 employees from Ghanaian organizations, who completed an online survey assessing their attitudes and perceptions towards BYOD adoption. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is utilized to test the research hypotheses and analyze the relationships between variables, including the mediating role of habit. The key findings indicate that Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, and Hedonic Motivation are significantly related to the adoption of BYOD. Moreover, habit is found to mediate the relationships between these factors and employees' Behavioral Intentions (BI) to adopt BYOD. The results highlight the importance of considering habit factors in understanding employees' intentions and behaviors regarding BYOD adoption. Based on the findings, recommendations are provided for organizations to promote the hedonic aspects and costsaving benefits of BYOD, establish clear policies addressing security concerns, and foster positive habitual behaviors among employees. These recommendations aim to enhance the adoption of BYOD programs and optimize the benefits while mitigating the challenges associated with BYOD adoption. The study has implications for both theory and practice. It contributes to the existing literature on BYOD adoption by addressing the mediating role of habit, filling a research gap in this area.

Title A name given to the resource Incident causal factors and the reasons for conducting investigations: a study of five ghanaian large-scale mines Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Eric Stemn, Florence Ntsiful, Marconi Afenyo Azadah, Theophilus Joe-Asare Description An account of the resource Background This research sought to understand the perspective of mineworkers regarding incident investigations, with the objective of identifying incident investigations improvement opportunities. First, through interviews, the research sought to identify the causal factors considered during investigations and the reasons for conducting investigations in the Ghanaian mining industry. Secondly, through questionnaire surveys, the study focused on understanding the extent to which a large sample of mineworkers considered the identified causal factors and investigation reasons relevant and applicable in their mine. Method Data were collected from 41 participants through interviews and 659 respondents through surveys, and the data were analyzed through thematic, content, and statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, and correlation analysis. Result The interviews led to the identification of five and nine categories of incident causal factors and reasons for investigating incidents, respectively. The results suggested a focus on workers’ unsafe acts as the main incident causal factor and identifying the person who caused the incident as one of the major reasons for investigating incidents, as these two factors where the modal choice from both the interviews and survey across all five mines. The results further showed that concerning the accident causal factors and the reasons for investigating incidents, no significant difference was observed between the perspectives of mineworkers involved in investigations and mineworkers with no investigation responsibilities.

Title A name given to the resource Human factor analysis framework for Ghana’s mining industry Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theophilus Joe-Asare, Newton Amegbey, Eric Stemn Description An account of the resource In an attempt to incorporate human factors into technical failures as accident causal factors, researchers have promoted the concept of human factor analysis. Human factor analysis models seek to identify latent conditions within the system that influence the operator’s action to trigger an accident. For an effective application of human factor analysis models, a domain-specific model is recommended. Most existing models are developed with category/subcategory peculiar to a particular domain. This presents challenges and hinders effective application outside the domain developed for. This paper sought to propose a human factor analysis framework for Ghana’s mining industry. A comparative study was carried out between three dominated accident causation models and investigation methods in literature; AcciMap, HFACS, and STAMP. The comparative assessment showed that HFACS is suitable for incident data analysis based on the following reason; ease of learning and use, suitability for multiple incident analysis and statistical quantification of trends and patterns, and high inter and intra-coder reliability. A thorough study was done on HFACS and its derivative. Based on recommendations and research findings on HFACS from literature, Human Factor Analysis, and Classification System–Ghana Mining Industry (HFACS-GMI) was proposed. The HFACS-GMI has 4 tiers, namely; External influence/factor, Organisational factor, Local Workplace/Individual Condition and, Unsafe Act. A partial list of causal factors under each tier was generated to serve as a guide during incident coding and investigation. The HFACS-GMI consists of 18 … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Ghana Mining Journal Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=4--inMwAAAAJ&citation_for_view=4--inMwAAAAJ:qjMakFHDy7sC Language A language of the resource English
