Title A name given to the resource Modeling ICT adoption and electricity consumption in emerging digital economies: Insights from the West African Region Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Ankrah, Michael Appiah Kubi, Sampson Twumasi-Ankrah, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Asravor, Brenya Boahemaa, Derrick Donkor, Lilian Arthur, Christopher Lamptey, Eric Ekobor-Ackah Mochiah Description An account of the resource This study investigates the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on electricity consumption in West Africa, employing a dynamic panel data model. The results show a significant long-term positive effect of ICT adoption on electricity consumption. Notably, internet connections increase the demand for electricity, with estimates ranging from 13.4 % to 19.3 %. While mobile phone subscriptions demonstrate modest positive effect of 6.85 %, personal computer ownership appears to have a negligible impact. The study contributes to the existing literature by offering a detailed examination of the distinct effects of different ICT components on electricity consumption, incorporating a novel estimation approach and sensitivity analyses that account for the COVID-19 pandemic and the Anglo-French linguistic divide. What's more, the analysis constitutes an initial effort in the examining both short-term and … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Pergamon Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2024 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=8wFumg4AAAAJ&citation_for_view=8wFumg4AAAAJ:YsMSGLbcyi4C Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/b6eb02d07e0982b0df9b1f6c86bc2533.pdf dfe3aae2d968935b69e1772875e38715 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 Is energy transition possible for oil-producing nations? Probing the case of a developing economy Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Ankrah, Kingsley Dogah, Sampson Twumasi-Ankrah, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Asravor, Derrick Ofori Donkor, Christopher Lamptey, Lilian Arthur Description An account of the resource An expected decline in oil revenue and a complicated global energy market present significant concerns about oil-producing countries’ intentions to move away from fossil fuels. Understanding the dynamics of these concerns, particularly in light of potential energy transitions, is crucial for future energy supply and sustainable energy discussion. Given the scarcity of research on the issue, this study examined whether an implied shift from fossil fuels to a cleaner energy state is possible for Ghana, a small oil-producing economy in sub-Saharan Africa. A two-state Markov Switching Model (MSM) was applied to a dataset covering 1980–2019. Results based on a multivariate state-dependent regression technique were documented as follows: First, the probability of transitioning from a nonrenewable energy state to a renewable energy state is 76.5%. Second, there is 80.2% chance of remaining in a renewable energy … 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 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=8wFumg4AAAAJ&citation_for_view=8wFumg4AAAAJ:d1gkVwhDpl0C Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/547fabedbf7d0db039fc02ce0f82bcf7.pdf 9395e3d6219138b55b3481ffc8911b7a 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 Nature-inspired search method for IoT-based water leakage location detection system Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Freeman, Daniel Ayitey Quaye, Israel Edem Agbehadji, Richard C Millham Description An account of the resource Detecting water leakage and reporting the leakage timely is one of the challenges faced by water distributing companies in developing nations. This paper employs a nature-inspired search method for optimal location search to water leakage sources for Ghana Water and Sewage Services Company. The nature-inspired method aid in mapping IoT-edge computing devices used by the water and sewage workers, especially in the cities and urban areas, to find and locate leaked pipelines. Once, a water and sewage worker receive a trigger from any location that there are leakages, the algorithm generates the location data which automatically processes the distance, geographic location, and direction. In this paper, a nature-inspired algorithm based on the behaviour of a Kestrel bird was used as the mapping function. The developed algorithm was tested and evaluated using pre-defined and random locations based … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IEEE 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=rQvaaoMAAAAJ&citation_for_view=rQvaaoMAAAAJ:Se3iqnhoufwC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/1f83ccad70d566f5edf118ae8748588a.pdf 874ddbac1f75e3f289c3b45c5bccea24 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 Strategic Marketing of Higher Education in Africa Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource The higher education landscape is changing. The global competition for students’ enrolments has increased around the world. Universities are competing within their home market as well as in the international market. As government funding for public universities is reducing, there is pressure on universities to seek additional income by increasing their student enrolment. Attracting and enrolling students has become increasingly more challenging, as student behaviour is changing. These challenges present the need for higher education institutions to be more strategic in their approach to reaching out to prospective students. This concluding chapter on strategic marketing of higher education in Africa presents practical implications and critical insights into strategic marketing and brand communications of higher education institutions in Africa. Agenda for future research were also provided. It is anticipated that this will shape further discussion and theoretical advancement which will be relevant for scholars, students, managers, practitioners, and policymakers in the field of higher education marketing.

Title A name given to the resource Domestic debt sustainability and economic growth: evidence from Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Richard Kofi Asravor, Lilian Akosua Arthur, Vera Acheampong, Christopher Lamptey, Maxwell Yeboah Description An account of the resource The rate at which Ghana’s domestic debt is increasing has raised concerns among economists and policymakers, due to the former’s potential effect on private sector growth, economic growth rate and debt sustainability. The objective of this study is to examine Ghana’s domestic debt, its sustainability on economic growth rate and the causal relationship between debt and growth. Using data from the World Bank and the Ministry of Finance for the period between 1994 and 2018, we estimate an ARDL Model to examine the effect of domestic debt on economic growth and private sector investment. We adopt the cointegration and fully modified regression to examine domestic debt sustainability. The results indicate that increases in Ghana’s domestic debt are growth-enhancing while increased in importation is growth-inhibiting. The fully modified regression and Johansen co-integration test model also suggest that the … 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 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=8wFumg4AAAAJ&citation_for_view=8wFumg4AAAAJ:9yKSN-GCB0IC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/558a461af59cac2f9185f1b7fe6a9921.pdf 8ba45106381014dd44e13603e5b83f7c 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 Relationship between capital structure and profitability of oil marketing companies (OMCs) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Patrick Baah-Acquah, Emmanuel Freeman, Ebenezer Perry Ellis Description An account of the resource The study investigated the relationship connecting capital structure and profitability of two listed firms on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) from the year 2010 to 2014. With regards to the firm’s capital structure, the study employed short-term debt to total capital, long-term debt to total capital and total debt to total capital in comparison with return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and net profit margin (NPM). The mixed method was used to capture both qualitative and quantitative data. The study employed both primary and secondary data and the data was analyzed using multiple regressions. The outcome from the review demonstrates that increments in short term debts and long term obligation influences the execution of the oil marketing companies. The suggestion is that managers ought to ensure that they recognize and keep up the ideal capital structure level to augment the organization's profit base.

With online learning resources such as instructional videos becoming more easily accessible and more appealing to the present generation of students, one technology-oriented instructional strategy that is gaining popularity in higher education is flipped teaching. This is an approach that reverses the traditional face-to-face teaching model: learners acquire basic content outside of class (typically video lectures), and then engage in more active and collaborative learning processes in class. Class activities therefore provide learners and instructors … 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=rQvaaoMAAAAJ&citation_for_view=rQvaaoMAAAAJ:UeHWp8X0CEIC Language A language of the resource English 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 Exploring factors influencing student choice in Africa: Introduction to Edited Collection Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource Universities in Africa are witnessing unprecedented growth; The government is establishing more universities, and private institutions are also coming on board to meet the growing demands for university places. As well as the increasing numbers of universities in Africa, there are also international partnerships with universities in Europe and America, while some other universities are opening campuses in Africa. Due to this increase, prospective university students have an increasingly wide range of choices. Understanding this student choice is essential for the marketing strategies of the universities. This process has been extensively researched in literature. This plethora of knowledge, however, has focused on developed countries, leaving a gap in our knowledge about student choices in Africa. This chapter introduces the coverage and contents of the edited book which explores student choices in Africa. This book on Higher Education Marketing in Africa - Explorations on Student Choice focuses on different factors that influence the choice of prospective students in Africa to study at a particular university. The authors have covered different geographies on the continent and employed different methodological approaches to reach their study conclusions. The authors’ affiliations are also international in scope. The collection reflects the diversity and breadth of current research within this stimulating and evolving research area.
