Title A name given to the resource A Program in Visual Basic for Simulation and Control of Acidic Wastewater Neutralisation System Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource S Fosu, EB Danuba, F Krampah, Theophilus Joe-asare Description An account of the resource The primary objective of this paper was to investigates the use and benefits of simulation for basic instrumentation and process control education. This simulation approach provide valuable solution by giving clear insights into complex systems. A graphic computer simulation program, for controlling and neutralising acidic wastewater has been developed. The simulator (pH-neutraliser) was developed using Microsoft Visual Basic Programming language and process control principles. The program was designed to provide an intuitive interface by correcting and adjusting the acidic pH of wastewater to 7 (neutral pH) before discharge into the environment. The acidic wastewater can be neutralised by alkali reagents like caustic soda or lime. The simulator was designed to operate in both manual and automatic modes during the neutralisation process. In the manual mode, the pH-neutraliser alerts an operator by sounding an alarm and suggests the percentage by which the alkali reagent valve should be opened to add required amount to bring the pH of the wastewater to 7. This is done when the measured value from the pH sensor and transmitter is not equal to the desired value. In the automatic mode, the neutraliser is expected to automatically open the alkali reagent valve to the required percentage to add the needed amount of alkali to make the pH of wastewater neutral. The pH neutralisation automation of wastewater can be achieved with the aid of pH analytical sensor and transmitter, signals, controller and feedback control mechanism.

Title A name given to the resource Transitioning into Fully Blended Learning: A Model for Faculty Blended Learning Adoption Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Antwi-Boampong Description An account of the resource Higher education institutions the world over is turning to Blended Learning (BL) as the preferred teaching and learning delivery approach. However, to attain campus-wide adoption requires an understanding of the influencing factors that motivate academics towards teaching in BL mode. Given this context, this paper presents findings from a qualitative study that investigates the lived experiences of academics as they adopt BL for teaching and learning in a Ghanaian university. Adopting a Grounded Theory as the methodology for this research within a sequential qualitative research design, data was collected from multiple sources. Primary data was obtained from in-depth interviews of 22 academics carried out to understand how they construct and navigate the BL teaching experiences. Secondary data was obtained from policy documents, faculty training signing sheets and Learning Management Systems (LMS) activity logs. The data was analysed using the constant comparative method and thematic analysis and triangulated to organize the themes and concepts for the proposed model. The outcome of the analytical process is theorized into an adoption model and grounded in the literature. The findings of the research provide very useful and practical model for administrators to stimulate Faculty motivation as they embark on BL implementation. The model indicates that external and internal environmental factors stimulate Faculty motivation to make a choice regarding the teaching modalities they prefer. It posits that as Faculty members begin to implement teaching process using technology, they become sensitized and begin to internalize the … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=riwB9JUAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=riwB9JUAAAAJ:8Xgff_V0N9gC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/8819afb998145a718e2d8a781f4cafbf.pdf d53dc01de16b61daef22133ba55d3656 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 EMPLOYEES'INTENTION TO PARTICIPATE IN A BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE IN THE PORT SUPPLY CHAIN NETWORK: A CORRELATIONAL STUDY USING UTAUT2 THEORETICAL Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DAVID KING BOISON, AHMED2AUGUSTINE ANTWI-BOAMPONG, DOUMBIA BLAY, MUSAH OSUMANU4 ASIEDU ESTHER, KWAME OWIREDU SARBENG Description An account of the resource The study aimed to assess the factors that influenced port users' willingness to participate in BYOD programs in Ghana's Maritime and Port sector. The extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) was used as the theoretical framework for the quasi-quantitative study. The study examined whether eight factors were predictors of the intention of Ghanaian employees to participate in a BYOD program, moderated by social influence. The study used principal component analysis (PCA) in SPSS and structural equation modeling in Stata to analyze and report the data. The results showed that only three factors, namely Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), Facilitating Conditions (FC), and HT, significantly influenced employees' behavioral intention (BI) to participate in a BYOD program, while Social Influence (SI), Hedonic Motivation (HM), and Price Value (PV) had no effect on Behavioral Intention (BI). Age did not moderate the influence of any factor on BI. The study provides insights into the port supply chain network's usage of BYOD and will aid academics in explaining the discrepancies between the UTAUT2 theoretical framework's predictions for different industries and specialties. The study's findings will also be useful for researchers who aim to implement the UTAUT2 theoretical framework to understand employees' BI to join the BYOD program in any industry. From a practical perspective, the study will assist managers in the port business in Ghana and the sub-region in focusing on the important structures that constitute the initial steps to introducing BYOD in the port supply chain industry.

Title A name given to the resource Improving Remedial Measures from Incident Investigations: A Study Across Ghanaian Mines Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theophilus Joe-Asare, Eric Stemn Description An account of the resource Background Learning from incidents for accident prevention is a two-stage process, involving the investigation of past accidents to identify the causal factors, followed by the identification and implementation of remedial measures to address the identified causal factors. The focus of past research has been on the identification of causal factors, with limited focus on the identification and implementation of remedial measures. This research begins to contribute to this gap. The motivation for the research is twofold. First, previous analyses show the recurring nature of accidents within the Ghanaian mining industry, and the causal factors also remain the same. This raises questions on the nature and effectiveness of remedial measures identified to address the causes of past accidents. Secondly, without identifying and implementing remedial measures, the full benefits of accident investigations will not be achieved.

Title A name given to the resource Assessment of the potability of underground water from a small scale underground mine: A case study Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theophilus Joe-Asare, Michael Stanley Peprah, Maxwell Mingle Opoku Description An account of the resource This study sought to investigate the potability of underground water from the Mohammed and Brothers Small Scale Underground Mine in Tarkwa by analysing two samples of the underground water to determine the water’s physico-chemical parameters and the metals concentrations and coliforms in it. The physico-chemical parameters were analysed using Oyster series multi-meter (341350A) and Hydro test HT 1000 photometer. The result showed that the parameters were within the recommended World Health Organisation (WHO) and United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) limits except for salinity and apparent colour. Analyses for metals and arsenic were conducted using the Varian Atomic Absorption Spectrometer (Varian ASS 240 FS). All the metals analysed were within the standards set by WHO and USEPA but the level of arsenic was above limit. The level of total coliforms and faecal coliforms were determined at the Intertek Service Limited, Tarkwa. The result showed that the levels were within the standards set by WHO and USEPA. The Water Quality Index (WQI) was calculated using the analysed water parameters. High levels of arsenic and salinity in the water renders it unsafe for drinking. Treatment of the water to reduce the arsenic and salinity levels to the standards set by WHO and USEPA will make it suitable for drinking and other domestic purposes.

Title A name given to the resource The use of bauxite as an arsenic filter Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource SA Ndur, H Osei, CE Abbey, Theophilus Joe-Asare Description An account of the resource Arsenic (As) has the potential to negatively affect soils and groundwater quality, and cause several public health challenges. It is usually concentrated and released during metal mining of ores that contains arsenic-bearing minerals. Remediation strategies are in place to avoid pollution. In this study, bauxite from Awaso, Ghana, was characterised, and its ability to sequester As was tested under varying conditions of temperature, Eh and pH. The study showed that the best particle size in the range utilised was 80% passing 2 mm as it allowed easy percolation, and As removal was about 95%. The reaction is a favourable pseudo-second order reaction that is spontaneous and thermodynamically stable and compares well with the Langmuir Sorption Isotherm. About 80% sorption was achieved within 20 minutes of contact with low desorption rate of less than 1.8%. The study thus concludes that bauxite is a good filter for arsenic.

Quantifying the relationship between upper and lower levels helps develop accident countermeasures focusing on significant organisational latent conditions. This study explores the relationship between the causal factors of accidents within Ghanaian mines using SEM. Data obtained from the analysis of incident reports using HFACS-GMI were quantified to enable its use in the SEM software, as SEM calculations cannot be done using a 0/1 description. The study also tests five hypotheses, including the basic assumption of the HFACS model. The case study results showed that organisational factors significantly influence workplace/individual conditions; upper causal categories do not only influence adjacent immediate lower causal categories, and partial correlations exist between causal … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Taylor & Francis Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=4--inMwAAAAJ&citation_for_view=4--inMwAAAAJ:eQOLeE2rZwMC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/6625a495f1611d361552fa0b113a353f.pdf f2e5cd4c00c2fc80e22c85011bb9bba7 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 Strategies for Institutionalizing Blended Learning in Higher Education Institutions: A Case Study of a Ghanaian Public University Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Antwi-Boampong Description An account of the resource This paper presents strategies adopted by a higher education institution towards the implementation of its BL policy framework. It does so by reviewing the BL implementation process of a public university in Ghana, noting that there are barriers that have impeded the uptake of blended learning, for which reasons it examines the strategies that can be implemented to overcome these barriers. The insights are drawn from a case study involving qualitative approaches, utilizing interviews with stakeholders in the public university. The paper examines the question: How do educational institutions employ Blended Learning (BL) strategies that contribute to the transformation of the university? Using an inductive approach, the researcher interviewed twenty-two management staff and used Strauss and Corbin’s constant comparative method as the analytical technique to analyze the data. This paper develops an institutional strategy framework that can be used by managers in higher education to facilitate change processes, overcome faculty resistance, and embed blended learning in institutions. The seven constructs of this strategic framework consist of institutional vision and approach, promotion and planning, integrated infrastructure, motivation and encouragement, training, assessment and evaluation and sanctions.

Title A name given to the resource Applicability and Usefulness of the HFACS-GMI Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Theophilus Joe-Asare, E Stemn, N Amegbey Description An account of the resource To present information such as causes of accidents and their consequences on the Ghanaian mining industry in the safety literature, classification schemes for incident analysis within the safety literature were studied. Human Factor Analysis and Classification Scheme (HFACS) emerged suitable for incident analysis. Base on its suitability for incident analysis within the Ghanaian Mining Industry (GMI), a derivative of the HFACS, namely HFACS-GMI, was proposed. This research seeks to study the usefulness and the applicability of the HFACS-GMI. Collectively, 56 incident investigation reports were obtained from an open cast gold mine in Ghana and analysed using the HFACS-GMI. Two cases, an equipment damage incident and an injury incident, were used to demonstrate the coding processing in identifying the causal factors. The analysis shows that most mishaps are associated with adverse workplace/operator conditions (151 references), with the physical environment (72.2%) being cited as the major causal code under the tier. Management decision showed a major contribution (74.1%) to mishap under the causal codes. Most cases were attributed to mistake error (57.4%) followed by the contravention (51.1%) of set rules and procedures with the operator's act tiers. Inadequate work standards (27.8%) and failure to ensure competency (24.1%) under the operational process and leadership flaw causal codes, respectively, were identified as the most cited nanocode. Management decision is critical in a mishap and should be given much attention in developing accident prevention strategies.
