Title A name given to the resource Testing and Validating a Faculty Blended Learning Adoption Model Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Antwi-Boampong Description An account of the resource Faculty members are crucial to Blended Learning’s success in higher education. Despite substantial research into the elements that drive faculty adoption of BL, few have developed a model to explain how these factors combine and influence faculty intentions to teach in this mode. This study used data collected from 207 professors from 18 universities across Africa, the United States, Europe, and the Middle East to test and validate a Faculty Blended Learning Adoption Model which was derived from a Grounded Theory study. Four model constructs (institutional hygiene readiness, student BL disposition, faculty technology ready, and Pedagogy Technology Fit for BL) mediated by motivation were tested to predict faculty Blended Learning adoption using structural equation modeling. The results demonstrated an excellent model fit, with three of the six hypotheses in this study being supported. Faculty desire to utilize BL was found to be influenced by faculty technology readiness and task technology fit for BL, but not by institutional hygiene readiness or student BL disposition. This research presents a useful model for university administrators to use in their BL implementations. A thorough understanding of this model can assist decision-makers in identifying the factors that influence future faculty acceptance or resistance to blended learning, as well as helping them in enhancing acceptance and usage.

Title A name given to the resource Testing for the existence of politico-economic cycles in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Gyimah Sackey, George Compah-Keyeke Description An account of the resource The abuse of incumbency during elections in order to retain power by ruling governments has become a contentious issue in political economics. This study was set to examine the effect elections and other macroeconomic variables on growth in Ghana. Data for the estimation was collected for the period, 1992-2010, during which Ghana has had an uninterrupted democratic elections. The results of the analysis show that political cycles do not exist in Ghana, which lends support to the views of (Ito and Park, 1999; Alesina et al, 1992, 1993; Brender and Drazen, 2005). Nonetheless, pre-election manipulations of some sort is a common phenomenon as its manifestation becomes glare as abuse of incumbency is noticed even though data do not suggest so. The implication is that abuse of incumbency may exist but not to the extent that creates political cycles.

Title A name given to the resource Testing the impact of environmental taxation and IFRS adoption on consumption‐based carbon in European countries Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Samour, Mohammed Musah, Sagiru Mati, Fethi Amri Description An account of the resource Several governance regulations have been adopted in European countries to promote environmental sustainability, such as environmental taxation and environmental disclosures in financial reports. In this context, this paper examines the linkage between environmental taxation, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and environmental sustainability in European countries from 1994 to 2018. Unlike earlier empirical studies, the present work is the first to assess the impact of environmental taxation and IFRS adoption on consumption-based carbon emissions. In order to yield valid and reliable outcomes, the modern econometric method that is vigorous to cross-sectional dependence and slope heterogeneity was employed. Likewise, the study uses the novel method of moment quantile regressions (MMQR). The MMQR outcomes illustrated that environmental taxation significantly negatively affects … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer Berlin Heidelberg 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=-U-tBVYAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=-U-tBVYAAAAJ:RHpTSmoSYBkC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/14d0b2835fa0a139936d0e08ce054b2e.pdf 21e75ac3956dac821b525f911c5ea4dc 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 Textural and microstructural changes associated with post-harvest hardening of trifoliate yam (Dioscorea dumetorum) pax tubers Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Samuel Sefa-Dedeh Description An account of the resource The textural and microstructural changes associated with the post-harvest hardening phenomenon of Dioscorea dumetorum tubers were studied to determine how texture relates to microstructure during the hardening process. A 2×2×4 factorial experiment with sample treatment, storage conditions and storage time as variables was performed. The tubers were harvested, matured and stored under prevailing tropical ambient conditions (28 °C) and cold room conditions (4 °C) for the study. All the samples were evaluated for their hardness (peak force) and adhesiveness (curve areas). Starch microscopy was done on the freshly harvested tubers, hardened tubers and tubers stored under low temperature conditions (4 °C) during the study. TA.XT2 analyses on the textural properties revealed consistent increases in the hardness and adhesiveness levels, measured during the hardening process of the tubers.

Title A name given to the resource The Adoption and Use of PocketKnowledge, an Institutional Repository with Integrated Social Interaction Tools Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka, Hui Soo Chae, Gary Natriello Description An account of the resource Transaction log analysis (TLA), content analysis, and grounded theory procedures were used to explore the adoption and use of an institutional digital repository and social networking website by the academic community of a graduate school of education in the Northeastern United States. Three successive years of usage records were gathered and analyzed to determine:(1) the rate of adoption and use of the repository by faculty, staff and students of the university,(2) the contents and levels of participation of these respective groups, and (3) the possible emergence of collaborative, online and open access scholarship within the institution. Findings show a steady growth in adoption of the repository as a content archiving resource by users, and an item tagging scheme that suggests user preference of the resource as a platform for enhancing professional rather than personal interests.

Title A name given to the resource THE APPLICATION OF DATA MINING TECHNOLOGY IN THE SELECTION OF PROSPECTIVE UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource George Essah Yaw Okai, Forgor Lempogo, Acquaye William Brown Description An account of the resource Due to the many private universities being established in the Republic of Ghana, the search of prospective students had become very competitive. There is therefore the urgent need to develop effective student searching strategy for the survival of a private university and also to gain a competitive advantage over others. The aim of this paper is to use a computer application to develop a data mining framework based on the Microsoft decision tree algorithm, to generate useful rules for selecting qualified but rejected applications of prospective undergraduate students from a public university. The results can provide decision rules relating personal information of a prospective student with guardian information, occupation and average salary per year. An empirical study was conducted in a private university in Ghana to support their search for students. The results demonstrated the practical viability of this approach and … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Limited Liability Company Aprobatsiya Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2013 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=BDvl0VYAAAAJ&citation_for_view=BDvl0VYAAAAJ:u-x6o8ySG0sC Language A language of the resource English
