Title A name given to the resource Time-varying Connectedness Between ESG Stocks and BRVM Traditional Stocks Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Zynobia Barson, Kwame Simpe Ofori, Peterson Owusu Junior, Kwabena G Boakye, George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong Description An account of the resource Periods of crisis prompt investors to look out for means of making returns even in uncertain market conditions. Investors are using stocks selected on an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) basis to mitigate the unavoidable risks of investing in assets during these times of pandemic and war. In an integrated global financial system, we sought to explore the connectedness, if any, between the returns on the Bourse Régionale des Valeurs Mobilières (BRVM) and ESG-based stocks. Using a time-varying parameter vector autoregression (TVP-VAR) to analyze daily returns from 12 March 2013 to 4 April 2022, we find categorically that ESG-based stocks and BRVM stocks are connected, with ESG-based stocks dominating the network connectedness. Furthermore, using dynamic connectedness correlations from dynamic conditional correlation generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (DCC … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available SAGE Publications 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=NogL9W0AAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=NogL9W0AAAAJ:HDshCWvjkbEC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/6335ab48501a45082c6feab09376c22f.pdf 0a041454c5d5d673a67b9a7976327f14 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 Chemical composition and cyanogenic potential of traditional and high yielding CMD resistant cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) varieties Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DB Nyirendah, EO Afoakwa, C Asiedu, AS Budu, L Chiwona-Karltun Description An account of the resource High yielding cassava mosaic disease (CMD) resistant cassava varieties have been developed by the Crop Research Institute of Ghana with distinct chemical composition and cyanogenic glucoside concentrations. This study characterized these improved varieties (Ampong, Broni bankye, Sika and Otuhia) together with some traditional varieties (Amakuma and Bankye fitaa) for their nutritional properties and cyanogenic potential (toxicity). The proximate composition, mineral content and cyanogenic potential were determined using standard methods. The different cultivars had moisture content (33.14-45.86%), protein (1.17–3.48%), ash (1.71–2.34%), crude fibre (1.38-3.20%), fat (0.74-1.49%) and carbohydrate (83.42-87.35%) and these varied significantly among cultivars. Mineral contents were 0.60-1.60, 1.35-1.58 and 1.06-2.13 mg/100g for Ca, Mg and P respectively, and 0.16-0.24, 0.021-0.030, 0.04-0.13, 0.25-0.36 and 0.25-0.37 mg/100g for Fe, Mn, Zn, K and Na respectively. Cyanogenic potential ranged from 0.08-0.12 mgHCN/kg. Wide variations exist in chemical composition of the improved and traditional cassava cultivars but all possess safe levels of cyanogenic potential and thus safe for human consumption.

Title A name given to the resource Elimination of waste and inefficiencies through lean maintenance management in mining industries, Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kofi Mintah Oware, Solomon Samanhyia, George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong Description An account of the resource Due to growing global competition, the mining industry has suffered significant share of losses and the mining industry in Ghana is no exception. Lean operations and maintenance is a widely accepted and adopted approach across many industries and this concept has not been tested in a Ghanaian situation. The Process Maintenance section of the Processing Department was studied to identify the successes, failures, and challenges of lean maintenance implementation, in the areas of maintenance system, rework and maintenance cost. Qualitative and quantitative measures were used to document and compare the individual case studies. Both primary and secondary data on the Processing Plant of Newmont Gold Ghana Limited was used to analyze the effects and benefits of the lean maintenance implementation in a pre and post comparison. Findings of the study showed that Newmont Gold Ghana Limited was able to reduce reworks (defects), plant down time, and maintenance cost and all these reductions added to the total improvement in the company’s operations. The general observation also revealed the need for a continuous training of workers on ways in improving lean maintenance culture.

Title A name given to the resource A Systemic Functional Grammar of French: From Grammar to Discourse Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Caffarel-Cayron, Alice Description An account of the resource The first analysis of French grammar to use the Halliday approach, this title looks at what constitutes language and how it is used in real life. This is the first grammar of French to provide an overall account of the language from a systemic functional perspective. Alice Caffarel uses this approach to linguistics, pioneered by Michael Halliday, to provide a description of French grammar in terms of its meaning potential and realizations in structure. This grammar has been developed as a resource for discourse analysis (including the analysis of literary texts) and for understanding how French grammar makes meaning in different textual and contextual environments. One of the key aspects of this description is that it provides various perspectives from which to explore grammar as a meaning-making potential, from the system end and the text end of the clause of instantiation. This multi-perspectival approach brings out both the resources specific to particular registers and the resources general to the language. In addition, it provides multiple pathways for exploring how meaning (both first-order and second-order) is both construed and constructed by lexicogrammatical patterns in texts. This systemic functional approach to French therefore reveals a unique new perspective on one of the world's most widely used international languages. The book gives a comprehensive account of French grammar, which is suitable for use by undergraduates, postgraduates, and independent learners.

Title A name given to the resource Determining mobile money service customer satisfaction and continuance usage through service quality Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource , Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource Mobile money service is a major retail financial service provided by telecommunication firms and formal banking institutions in many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The increased patronage of mobile money services demands that telecommunication firms enhance the quality-of-service delivery they offer in order to stay competitive. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the service quality factors that influence customer satisfaction and continuance usage of mobile money services. Data were collected from 494 users of mobile money services. Using structural equation modeling, this study tested hypotheses on the effect of service quality variables on customer satisfaction and continuance usage of mobile money services. The findings indicate that the availability of services, facilities, and security influence customer satisfaction, whereas the expertise of the service provider, the operator’s network system, and responsiveness influence continued use of mobile money services. The findings of this study will assist mobile money service providers and policymakers in planning services that will increase customer satisfaction and retention. The study contributes to identifying service quality constructs that influence customer satisfaction and continuance usage in the mobile money context Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/s41264-021-00138-5 Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/776890f9178287e6cb08b6df6c8441e1.pdf de381a51d832d4df09187c5c93815eb8 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 Factors influencing information security policy compliance behavior Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource John Agyekum Addae, Grace Simpson, George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong Description An account of the resource Globally, banks are deploying reliant data protection technologies to secure business continuity. However, information security attackers leverage on employees seldom predisposition to compromise firms' assets. The study therefore examines attributing factors influencing information security compliance behavior in the Ghanaian banking sector. A survey design approach was adopted to validate the research model. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) were used to analyze 329 valid data. The model results showed that perceived threat, vulnerability, response cost, and efficiency had a significant effect on compliance but interestingly not for Self-Efficacy. Perceived threat severity had the most significant effect on IS compliance behavior. Overall, our model accounted for 60% of the variation in IS compliance.

Title A name given to the resource Comparison of rheological models for determining dark chocolate viscosity Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Alistair Paterson, Mark Fowler, Joselio Vieira Description An account of the resource Parameters in chocolate rheology, namely shear viscosity and yield stress, are important in manufacture and directly influenced by product particle size distribution (PSD) and composition. The Casson model was the standard confectionery industry strategy to quantify rheological properties of molten chocolate until in 2000, the International Confectionery Association recommended the use of interpolation data to describe viscosity. The two strategies are compared and correlated in defining rheological properties of molten dark chocolates prepared using different PSD, fat and lecithin content. Rheological parameters were determined using a shear rate-controlled rheometer and data examined using correlation, regression and principal component analyses to establish their inter-relationships. Correlation and regression analyses showed high correlation (r = 0.89–1.00) and regression coefficients (R2 = 0.84–1 … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Oxford University Press Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2009 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=EZuX1N8AAAAJ&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=EZuX1N8AAAAJ:eQOLeE2rZwMC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/6d941477783659f9ae1ed2bcd85f1619.pdf 9baf9ca502243db2311cd312833945f2 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 The interplay between privacy, trust and self-disclosure on social networking sites Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Eli Fianu, Kwame Simpe Ofori, Richard Boateng, George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong Description An account of the resource Social Networking Sites (SNSs) have become an essential part of the daily lives of billions of people worldwide. Because SNS service providers use a revenue model that relies on data licensing (selling of user data), they share user data with other parties such as government institutions and private businesses. Sharing of user data to third parties raises several privacy concerns. Apart from privacy issues emanating from SNSs sharing user information with third parties, privacy issues may also emanate from users sharing information with SNS members. This study is motivated by the researchers’ interest in investigating self-disclosure amongst Ghanaians especially from the perspective of privacy and trust primarily because of recent reports of revenge pornography and other self-disclosure related privacy violations on SNSs in Ghana.
