Title A name given to the resource Roasting effects on phenolic content and free-radical scavenging activities of pulp preconditioned and fermented cocoa (Theobroma cacao) beans Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Eric Ofosu-Ansah, Agnes Simpson Budu, Henry Mensah-Brown, Jemmy Felix Takrama Description An account of the resource Polyphenols are phytochemicals responsible for the astringency, bitterness, green flavours and antioxidant activities in Theobroma cacao beans. Polyphenols degradation in cocoa beans during roasting is crucial to the flavour outcome and it is influenced by factors such as temperature, time and pod storage. Antioxidants are compounds that help to inhibit oxidation reactions caused by free radicals such as singlet oxygen, superoxide, peroxyl radicals, hydroxyl radicals and peroxynitrite thereby preventing damage to the cells and tissues. Their mechanisms of action include scavenging reactive oxygen and decreasing localised oxygen concentration thereby reducing molecular oxygen’s oxidation potential, metabolising lipid peroxides to non-radical products and chelating metal ions to prevent generation of free radicals in humans. The study aimed at investigating changes in total polyphenols, anthocyanins, o-diphenols and antioxidant activity (free-radical scavenging activities) after roasting of pulp preconditioned and fermented cocoa beans using standard analytical methods. A 4× 4 full factorial design with the principal experimental factors as pod storage time (0, 3, 7 and 10 days) and roasting duration (0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes) at 120 o C were used to study the changes in the total polyphenols, anthocyanins, o-diphenols and% free-radical scavenging activities of the cocoa beans. Variable decrease in total polyphenols, odiphenols and anthocyanins were observed with increase in pre-conditioning (pod storage time) and roasting duration. However, variable trends were observed for the% free-radical scavenging activities.

This concern, compounded by the unrelenting impact of climate change and the burgeoning demand on transport networks and infrastructures, underscores the critical necessity of preserving infrastructural functionality, safety, and alignment with their original design objectives. In doing so, we strive to mitigate health, financial, societal, and environmental risks that these infrastructures may pose. Presently, the imperative is to maintain a vigilant and continuous watch over these critical assets, employing factual, real-time data to support efficient maintenance strategies. This book embarks on a comprehensive exploration of the contemporary industrial challenges surrounding critical infrastructure inspection and maintenance. It offers a detailed examination of current inspection methodologies, manual intervention practices, and the intricate challenges involved in the sustained, systematic evaluation of structural integrity. Subsequently, it delivers an exhaustive analysis and technical elucidation of recent research breakthroughs across various infrastructures and industrial domains. These innovations, deeply rooted in robotics, automation, and digital technologies, augment, support, streamline, and often redefine established paradigms in the realms of inspection and maintenance. Among these innovations are the outcomes of research endeavors co-funded by the European Commission, addressing a spectrum of research priorities and thematic areas. The solutions delineated in this book encompass an array of cutting-edge technologies, from robotic ground vehicles to unmanned aerial systems, digital platforms, advanced sensing solutions, and state-of-the-art visualization and 3D imaging technologies. These technologies foster enhanced data acquisition, precise reporting, and ultimately, more efficient inspection and maintenance approaches. As we navigate through the years ahead, the inevitability of aging infrastructures looms large, while the tangible value of modern technologies is already manifesting in numerous industrial applications. Though the journey may be arduous, the assimilation of digital technologies into existing infrastructure inspection and maintenance frameworks is gaining traction and acceptance, aligning with the overarching vision articulated within this book.

Title A name given to the resource Role of Culture in Developing Transformative Leadership for Higher Education in Emerging Economies Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource Organizations are bound together with a glue which is known as culture. Higher education institutions such as colleges and universities, just like any other organizations, have to efectively communicate their culture in terms of their mission, vision, and purpose in an ever-changing world (Vasudeva & Mogaji, 2020). During the COVID-19 pandemic, higher education institutions have been confronted with keeping their culture intact and remaining relevant to the students and the workforce (leadership, instructors, researchers, administrators, and the support staf) while they work from home. Te pandemic has afected higher education institutions severely as attracting and enrolling new students has become more difcult in this fnancially unstable time, as has engaging existing students who do not have the resources to connect virtually (McCarthy, 2020; Moody’s, 2020). Such challenges faced by higher education institutes are heightened in developing economies as they have been under the stress of poor infrastructure, governmental support (Olaleye et al., 2020), and lower literacy rates. Learners are socially disadvantaged with minimal access to technology, thereby impacting their ability to engage with the online learning environment (Zhong, 2020).

Title A name given to the resource Saving the planet: An Assessment of green computing practice among tertiary institutions in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource EMMANUEL Freeman Description An account of the resource This study assesses the current state of adoption and practice of Green Computing among Ghana Tertiary Institutions. The driving force for this investigation includes issues of conducive academic environment and humanity, energy conservation, disposal, and recycling of electronic devices in tertiary institutions. To achieve this, both quantitative and qualitative methods are used to capture data for the findings and analysis. Data were collected from a sample of 200 computer users of faculty members, administrative staffs and students among five selected Universities and Polytechnics Analysis of the study has shed light on the levels of green computing knowledge and practice possessed by computer users. The scenario that emerged from the findings is less than desirable. Given the importance of green computing awareness, knowledge, practice and adoption, it is recommended that academic institutions and government agencies to take the first step in educating the public, regarding the" underlying principles and practice" of green computing. The general impression from the study is that, computer users in the selected schools generally have either low levels of green computing habits and practices or none at all. Also, the institutions have made very little effort to accept the practice in their schools. This is as a result of the facts that, the awareness of Green IT in most institutions and the practices among individuals are not in place; hence a lot of people are ignorant about this new development of technology.
