Title A name given to the resource Changing the dynamics of human resources management in the public services of Ghana: an organizational learning perspective Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Frank Ohemeng, Emelia Amoako Asiedu Description An account of the resource The quality of human resources is critical to the development of any country. To enhance sustainable development and poverty reduction, governments need human capacities, especially in the public sector, to transform their commitments on these issues into results. In view of this, in 2015, the government of Ghana through the Public Services Commission developed a new human resources management policy for the public sector. The principal idea is that the new policy will lead to the transformation of the Public Service into an ethical, responsive, and citizen-oriented service that will provide, and continue to provide into the future high quality and timely services to Ghanaians. This paper examines the policy with the view of understanding whether it will transform a sector that has suffered considerable neglect since independence from the perspective of organisational learning. Will the new policy lead to fundamental shift in HRM in the public sector? Has it unearthed the fundamental issues underpinning the effective management of human resources in the sector? And has it proposed capable solutions to these issues?

Title A name given to the resource Channel Structure and Conflict Management among Multinational Corporations (MNCs) in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson a Description An account of the resource [Abstract] The research seeks to gain qualitative insights into channel structure and conflict management of leading multinational companies operating in Ghana. A case-study approach was adopted for this study. Data was gathered and analyzed qualitatively through interviews of managers of five multinational firms in Ghana. The companies were found to be practicing a three-level channel system, a combination of exclusive and intensive distribution strategies and a partial integration, thus limiting their control of the chain of distribution. The managements of the case companies have adopted some measures to mitigate the conflict-prone zones, which, in most cases, are not yielding the desired result of consolidating their channel operations. This research may have limited generalizability to all multinationals. The major contribution of this paper is that it helps in drawing out key issues of channel structure and conflict management in a developing economy context.

Title A name given to the resource Characterization of melting properties in dark chocolates from varying particle size distribution and composition using differential scanning calorimetry Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Alistair Paterson, Mark Fowler, Joselio Vieira Description An account of the resource Melting properties in dark chocolates processed from varying particle size distribution (PSD), fat and lecithin content were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Compositional parameters were PSD (D90 (90% finer than this size) of 18, 25, 35 and 50μm), fat (25%, 30% and 35%) and lecithin (0.3% and 0.5%) contents. Variations in PSD had no influence on crystallinity of products. Fat and lecithin content influenced the degree of crystallinity and melting properties (Tend, Tindex and ΔHmelt) of the products. Increasing fat content caused consistent increases in degree of crystallinity and crystal size distribution, thus effecting significant changes in Tend, Tindex and ΔHmelt of their derived products.

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 Chemical composition and effect of processing on oxalate content of taro corms Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Samuel Sefa-Dedeh, EK Agyir-Sackey Description An account of the resource The chemical composition as well as the effect of processing on the corms of two Xanthosoma sagittifolium species and Colocasia esculenta corms were evaluated. A 3x3 factorial experimental design with cocoyam varieties (Xanthosoma (white-flesh), Xanthosoma (red-flesh) and Colocasia) and corm section (distal, middle and apical) was performed to determine the chemical composition of the corms. Oxalate content of the various corms were also evaluated and the effect of processing assessed using standard analytical methods. The mean values of the proximate composition of the three cocoyam species evaluated were; crude protein 2.98-5.50 g/100g, total fat 0.28-0.97 g/100g, ash 1.56-2.98 g/100g, starch 12.23-36.04 g/100g and crude fibre 1.11-3.00 g/100g. The apical section of all the species had high protein content while the distal section had high levels of ash, fibre and minerals. Potassium, zinc, magnesium and phosphorus were the most abundant minerals. Oxalate compositions of the fresh samples were in the range of 253.49-380.55 µg/100g for the Xanthosoma sagittifolium (red-flesh), 302.19-322.82 µg/100g for the Xanthosoma sagittifolium (white-flesh) and 328.4-459.85 µg/100g for the Colocasia esculenta. No significant differences (p< 0.05) were found between the oven-dried and solar-dried samples. However, drum drying reduced the oxalate levels by approximately 50% to average levels ranging from 99.94-191.16 µg/100g, implying that solar, oven and drum drying techniques can be used for the development of marketable dehydrated products from taro with reduced oxalate contents.
