Title A name given to the resource Mobile Learning in Ghanaian Higher Education: Students' Perception, Opinions, and Expectations Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka, D Okwabi Adjin Description An account of the resource Mobile learning or m-learning represents anytime and anyplace delivery of learning through Internet and wireless enabled mobile electronic devices. Personal mobile computing devices (Smartphones, iPads, Tablet PCs etc.), are becoming increasingly ubiquitous in the daily activities of people, and in academia, it has been established that students spend more time using mobile tools for informal learning and collaborative activities than on formal school activities. It is within this context that educators generally think that delivering instruction seamlessly through these mobile devices should benefit students greatly, as learning can be personalized and also made readily accessible through systems that are in their direct control. Indeed, a growing number of initiatives are demonstrating ways in which m-learning can help confront existing educational challenges and pioneer new strategies for learning.

Title A name given to the resource Mobile Money Sustainability by Service Providers in Ghana: Challenges and Benefits Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dennis Nii Adjei Annang Description An account of the resource The study intended to investigate the sustainability of mobile money in Ghana, which is currently making waves in Ghana. The problem addressed in this research was how mobile money systems are sustained amidst challenges and setbacks to the system. The methods employed to solve the problem was a quantitative approach through the use of a descriptive research design, specifically cross-sectional correlational survey design. From the research results, the study revealed that respondents have knowledge on the sustainability of mobile money, and education is key to make the sustainability of mobile money in Ghana a reality. The study also revealed key strategies that are being employed to sustain mobile money and also the practical steps that are in place to make sure the sustainability strategies are realistic. The study further revealed some perceived and real-time challenges that are associated with the sustainability of mobile money in Ghana. An interesting discovery was also made, in terms of Ghana lacking a mobile money sustainability model; thus, three models were developed in this study based on the results and findings obtained at the end of this study.

Title A name given to the resource Modeling and Forecasting of Ghana’s Inflation Volatility Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Abdul-Karim Iddrisu, Dominic Otoo, Iddrisu Wahab Abdul, Sylvia Ankamah Description An account of the resource In this paper, we assessed volatility of Ghana’s inflation rates for 2000 to 2018 using the auto-regressive conditionally heteroskedasticity (ARCH), generalized ARCH (GARCH), and the exponential GARCH (EGARCH) models. The inflation data were obtained from the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS). The proposed model should be able to provide projections of inflation volatility from 2019 and beyond. The results showed that higher order models are required to properly explain Ghana’s inflation volatility and the EGARCH(12, 1) is the best fitting model for the data. The EGARCH(12, 1) model is robust to model and forecast volatility of inflation rates. Also, the results suggest that we are forecasting increasing volatility and there is increasing trend in general prices of goods and services for 2018 and beyond. The forecasts figures revealed that Ghana’s economy is likely to be unstable in 2018 and 2019. This study therefore recommends that policy makers and industry players need to put in place stringent monetary and fiscal policies that would put the anticipated increase in inflation under control. The models were implemented using R software.

Title A name given to the resource Modeling Cholera Epidemiology Using Stochastic Differential Equations Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Wahab A Iddrisu, Inusah Iddrisu, Abdul-Karim Iddrisu Description An account of the resource In this study, we extend Codeço’s classical SI‐B epidemic and endemic model from a deterministic framework into a stochastic framework. Then, we formulated it as a stochastic differential equation for the number of infectious individuals I(t) under the role of the aquatic environment. We also proved that this stochastic differential equation (SDE) exists and is unique. The reproduction number, R0, was derived for the deterministic model, and qualitative features such as the positivity and invariant region of the solution, the two equilibrium points (disease‐free and endemic equilibrium), and stabilities were studied to ensure the biological meaningfulness of the model. Numerical simulations were also carried out for the stochastic differential equation (SDE) model by utilizing the Euler‐Maruyama numerical method.

Title A name given to the resource Modeling downtime severity of telecommunication networks using discrete time Markov chains Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Wahab A Iddrisu, Ibrahim A Gedel Description An account of the resource Telecommunication network reliability remains a top priority for both customers and service providers. Downtime can result in revenue loss for providers and productivity loss for customers. Thus, accurately predicting downtime severity can help providers plan and respond effectively. This study models telecommunication network downtime severity using discrete-time Markov chains (DTMC). The data used consists of 1,211 daily network downtime records, in minutes, recorded by Ghana's national communications authority (NCA) from August 1, 2015, to April 30, 2021. The severity of daily downtime was categorized into 5 categories based on duration. Results indicate that the majority (n= 905) of daily network downtime was negligible, while only 25 outages were severe. The transition probability matrix indicates that if the present network downtime severity is negligible, there is an 81% chance that the next network downtime severity may also be negligible, a 12% chance of minimal severity, a 4% chance of significant severity, a 2% chance of serious severity, and a 1% chance of severe severity. The steady-state distribution indicates that over the long term (n≥ 17), 74% of network downtime severity is expected to be negligible, while only 2% is expected to be severe. Based on probability simulations for 12 steps, it is evident that the'negligible'category is the most probable network downtime severity, regardless of the initial severity category. These findings can assist telecommunication providers in better planning and delivering more reliable services to their customers.
