ABSTRACT The study sought to assess the effect of organisational climate on the job satisfaction of staff at the University of Cape Coast School of Medical Sciences (UCCSMS). Quantitative research design was adopted for the study. A total of 119 respondents were sampled from a population of 169. Questionnaire was used as the instrument for collecting data from the respondents. The data were processed by SPSS version 21. The data were analysed based on the research objectives. Descriptive stat...
Abstract The Police Service is an institution which is long over due for rebranding and should be transformed to restore a better public image; this is as a result of the negative reports that have been highlighted in relation to the service. This study assesses the operations of the Ghana Police Service using Cantonments Police Station as a case study. From the study it was concluded that very few Police Officers had educated themselves to the tertiary level leaving majority of them at the M...
ABSTRACT The study was conducted in the Ayawaso East Sub-Metro in Accra. It assessed the effectiveness of DOVVSU in the promotion and protection of the rights of children. This purely descriptive study adopted the quantitative and qualitative paradigms using the mixed-methods sequential explanatory design. Two hundred and twenty (220) respondents comprising 121 JHS pupils, 22 teachers, 55 parents and 22 DOVVSU officials were sampled through simple random, proportionate quota, and purposive ...
ABSTRACT The study sought to establish public perception of Zoomlion’s solid waste management services in the Tamale Metropolis. The study employed the case study research design in collecting and analyzing data from 150 respondents through the use of structured questionnaires and interview guides. The study established that there is marked improvement in waste management in the Tamale Metropolis by Zoomlion Ghana Limited. Significant proportions of respondents now dump their household wa...
ABSTRACT This study explored the capacity of property rate valuation institutions at the level of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs) and its effect on the potential of property rates for local governance finance in Wa Municipality and Nadowli Kaleo District. Methodologically, data was collected from the Municipal Valuation Office, Municipal Assembly, Nadowli-Kaleo District Assembly, Non-exempt Real Property Owners, and Rate Collectors. Intuitive method was relied upon fo...
Abstract Background CHPS zones are largely defined by what kind of basic package of service they offer. Whilst basic package of services defines the key services that the CHOs, CHVs and CHMCs are to perform under the CHPS service delivery, the 2018 CHPS Verification Survey shows that only 21.1%, 52.5% and 37% of CHPS zones undertook home visitations, ANC services and deliveries which are key components of CHPS basic package of services. Many reasons have been adduced to these suboptimal per...
Abstract: We present a new class of distributions called the Topp-Leone-G Power Series (TL-GPS) class of distributions. This model is obtained by compounding the Topp-Leone-G distribution with the power series distribution. Statistical prop erties of the TL-GPS class of distributions are obtained. Maximum likelihood estimates for the proposed model were obtained. A simulation study is carried out for the special case of Topp-Leone Log-Logistic Poisson distribution to assess the performance o...
Recently, statisticians have been exploring the generalization and extension of classes of distributions to make them more flexible for data analysis. There are a lot of data sets that are either extremely skewed, bimodal, bathtub or have heavy tails. However, inverse exponential distribution cannot model data sets that exhibit these features properly. In this study, a new family of inverse exponential distribution called T-inverse exponential {Y} family based on quantile function approach ha...
Abstract Grain cereals are the food security staples of the poor masses around the globe. However, a significant proportion of these crops, especially cowpea are lost during storage. This is more so the case in Africa where postharvest losses due to the absence of efficient storage for cowpea is alarming: between 30-70 percent. This study, therefore, examined the adoption of improved cowpea storage practices/facilities by cowpea farmers and traders in Nigeria, using Kwara State as case study....
Abstract/Overview In option pricing the rate of change of asset price with time can be viewed to be directly proportional to the Walrasian [6] excess demand. Scholars such as Jacques [3] and Onyango [4], have used the excess demand concept with linearised demand and supply functions to derive and solve both deterministic and stochastic logistic differential equations for stock price. The underlying assets in option pricing are unique and can be seasonal and periodic like for electricity, ...
ABSTRACT Background Perinatal mortality rate (PNMR)in developing countries, particularly sub-saharan Africa and Ghana is unacceptably high. Most perinatal mortalities (PNM) occur among women referred for obstetric complication. Maternity referral system (MRS) challenges limit access to emergency obstetric care (EmOC) needed to prevent maternal and perinatal mortalities. Despite the importance of MRSs, they have been understudies and under researched. This study thus sought to find factors ass...

ABSTRACT This study explores the potentiality of decimal digits distribution to differentiate between chaotic and random numbers. Ten thousand (10000) random and chaotic numbers each were generated using computer inbuilt random number generator and Logistic equation respectively. The random and chaotic numbers were obtained using FORTRAN codes. Logistic equation was solved for only parameters (Ks7) known to exhibit chaotic behaviour with initial value of 0.3 for all cases. Graphs of decimal d...
ABSTRACT This dissertation looked at the fertility rate, fertility pattern and some of the diseases that cause fertility problems which leads to pregnancy wastage and fertility differentials in women within the reproductive age using binary Logistic and Multiple regression. The result shows that the average Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of sample I, sample II and sample III are approximately five (5) children per woman, seven(7) children and six (6) children respectively. The histogram and ...
