Title A name given to the resource Nature-inspired search method for location optimization of smart health care system Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Freeman, Israel Edem Agbehadji, Richard C Millham Description An account of the resource This study is an ongoing work to develop a smart mobile health care system for the delivery of health care services to the aged. In this paper, we focus on developing a mapping function algorithm that matches the location of a device used by nurses to that of a patient, especially the aged, to find the optimal distance and direction. After a patient has requested health care service, the algorithm generates random location data, then computes the distances and direction within a geographical location. The mapping function algorithm was inspired by the behaviour of the kestrel bird. The proposed algorithm was evaluated by testing with pre-determined and random location data on latitude and longitudinal data. The experiment results demonstrate that the mapping function was able to find the optimal distance between two different locations.

Title A name given to the resource Green Computing Model for Computer Users in Ghana: An Approach to Sustainable Energy Use Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource EMMANUEL FREEMAN, PATRICK BAA-ACQUAH Description An account of the resource This study intends to develop a sustainable green computing model for computer users in Ghana. What necessitated for this study includes issues of the human environment and conservations of energy in Ghana. To achieve this, both quantitative and qualitative methods are used to capture data for the findings and analysis. A sample size of 200 computer users for both primary users (domestic users) and secondary users (manufacturers and commercial users) in various organizations in Ghana is used. The research integrated the Rogers Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) Model and Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) Framework Model to develop a proposed model to capture all the dimensions and elements needed to adopt and practice Green Computing in Ghana. 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. The general impression from the study is that, computer users in Ghana generally have either low levels of green computing habits and practices or none at all. This is especially true for the primary users than for the secondary users. The two differ significantly in their adherence to eco-friendly and energyefficient computing practices. To promote Green Computing adoption and practice in Ghana, a proposed model has been developed to guide the use of server virtualization, energy conservation, and proper way to dispose of e-waste. This model is intended to help improve the adoption and practice … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&amp;hl=en&amp;user=rQvaaoMAAAAJ&amp;cstart=20&amp;pagesize=80&amp;citation_for_view=rQvaaoMAAAAJ:u5HHmVD_uO8C Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/ea5ce517ef6e0f30d96c2ee26299361a.pdf f0f16f8d858f9a3427f707748f6c697f 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 Critical Analysis of Information Security Systems in the Banking Industry in Ghana: A case study of GN Bank Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Kobla Nornyibey Description An account of the resource The study focuses on GN Bank as a case study – analyzing the information systems and network infrastructure of the bank. This study analyses the term “information security” and its application in industry particularly the banking industry. Various benefits offered by Information security to the banking industry and challenges encountered are all analyzed in this paper. Issues relating to information security are discussed generally. The key functions of this study are directed at assessing vulnerabilities in GN Bank’s information systems and infrastructure; and to explore what investments are made in technical personnel, end users and infrastructure. The study adopts a qualitative approach to exploring information security as far as GN Bank information systems are concerned. In order to determine the security posture of GN Bank and make recommendations where applicable, a penetration test is conducted over the bank’s network infrastructure, findings are made and discussed. An interview with the Information security department is also conducted and a summary of the results presented.One key recommendation in this paper is that information security being a business related issue requires much consideration and allocation of sufficient budget not only for acquiring systems but for training technical persons and end users.

Title A name given to the resource Factors Impeding the Effectiveness and Efficiency of Public Procurement Delivery: A Case Study of the Ministry of Education. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Kofi Aidoo Description An account of the resource Over the years, strict adherence to public procurement processes has become a major challenge in public institutions rendering them ineffective and inefficient. The aim of this study is to assess the factors impeding the effectiveness and efficiency of Public Procurement Delivery. From literature reviewed, a conceptual framework was constructed to serve as a robust model using dependent variables for Effectiveness and Efficiency of Public Procurement Delivery. A mixed method approach (qualitative and quantitative) was adopted for this research. The data collected was then analyzed using SPSS version 20 for the quantitative section and the qualitative data collected through in-depth interviews was analyzed using content analysis. The study documented that the correlation between independent variables comprising Political interference had a negative influence or outcome on all three (3) dependent variables (Fairness, Transparency & Value for Money). Social factors on the other hand had a weak influence or outcome on the Fairness and Transparency variables but had a negative influence on the Value for Money variables. However, the other independent variables comprising Economic, Environmental factors & Policy had positive influences and outcomes on the dependent variables in determining the levels of effectiveness and efficiency. The study therefore recommended that, this model be applied due to its capacity to measure and test the strengths of the objectives in determining the levels of effectiveness and efficiency.
