ABSTRACT Taxation is the major source of revenue to support the execution of government developmental projects. In Ghana, one major sector where more taxes could have collected is the Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) of the informal sector. The sector contributes about 80% to the employment in the country (Ghana living Standard Survey - GLSS, 2010); but, its contribution in terms of tax revenue, relative to its size, is just a drop in the national coffers. The research, therefore, ...
ABSTRACT Sweet potato with a negligible amount of vitamin A has been consumed for a long time in Sub-Saharan African (SSA)countries including Tanzania. The production and consumption of improved sweet potato varieties including orange fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) with high Vitamin A content has been promoted due to its potential to combat Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD). Adding value to OFSP will increase both its shelf-life and market demand. This study was conducted toassess consumer acceptabilit...
In this research work, we have reviewed and studied two disease models: a disease model with logistic recruitment rate with and without incubation period and a disease model with linear recruitment rate with and without incubation period. The existence and stability or otherwise of the equilibrium states of the models were studied; also numerical experiments were conducted using a written computer program in MATLAB function ode45; for which table of parameter values were generated using sec...
ABSTRACT Attitude as a component of human behaviour is the pre-requisite for any action, and plays a dominant role in environmental sanitation. Unsustainable urbanization in Ghana has encouraged the increase in economic activities in various markets in urban settlements resulting in negative behaviours of people towards environmental sanitation in these markets. This study examines the attitudes of traders towards environmental sanitation at the Hohoe main market. It describes the general sa...
ABSTRACT Studies into income, expenditure and standard of living of individuals and households are well documented in literature. Many of these studies cover different forms of poverty indicators and variables. The methods used in this analysis were mainly econometric models. The study is concerned with determining the indicators and variables that possibly influence income, expenditure and living standard of households. The objective here is to model the determinants of living standards or p...
ABSTRACT This research was motivated to appraise the evaluation of distribution channel in the logistics management of petroleum product using Oando plc as the case study. There was a problem of the tendency of distribution of those petroleum products to the Northern & Southern which effect to a scarcity of the product in other areas of the country. On the contrary to the problems of this research work, an objective came to be as to ascertain whether there is an effective and efficient di...
By exploring the rationality of ‘Creating Shared Value’ (CSV) concept in the oilfield service industry in Sub Saharan Africa, the research focused on exploring unique challenges and the underlying factors that affect operations in the oilfield service (OFS) companies in SSA using Schlumberger as a case study. With a theory developed from the inputs of interviewed participants, the research analysed ways ‘CSV’ strategies could be used to address these opportunities using the digital ca...
ABSTRACT This research studies the logistics of distribution system in breweries ( A case study of golden guinea breweries). The research started with the background of the study in chapter one, statement of the petroleum, objective of the study, research question and hypo significance of the study, scope, limitation and delimitation of the study and definition of terms This is followed by chapter two which deals with the review of related literature In chapter three I discussed the rese...
ABSTRACT Despite the important advances in perinatal care in the past decades, asphyxia remains a severe condition leading to significant mortality and morbidity. Perinatal asphyxia has an incidence of 1 to 6 per 1,000 live full-term births, and represents the third most common cause of neonatal death (23%) after preterm birth (28%) and severe infections (26%). Each year approximately 24% of neonatal deaths occur due to birth asphyxia with an equal number of survivors with serious neurologica...
ABSRACT Primarily, the project has focused on finding out the Online Buying trends and behavior of Maasai Mara university consumers with an age range of 18- 25 years. The proposed primary objective of the study was further divided into secondary objectives with an aiming of finding detailed information on the research topic. Precisely, information regarding buyer’s buying frequency, average spending, and famous product purchase was gathered. Since the objectives were quantifiable, a quantit...
ABSTRACT A group acceptance sampling plan is developed for odds exponential log logistic distribution (OELLD) based on truncated lifetime with a known shape parameter. At a specified level of consumer risk and at the predefined test termination time, we derived the minimum number of groups required for a given group size and the acceptance number using the two-point approach by satisfying the producer’s and the consumer’s risks at the specified quality levels, while the termination time a...
ABSTRACT In Ghana, the issue of managing the maintenance of water supply facilities still remains a big problem in rural water provision. One of the recurring issues in rural water supply is how to ensure sustainability of water supply facilities. The main objective of this study therefore, was to examine the maintenance structures as they exist for the effective management of water supply facilities in the Builsa District. The research was a non-interventional study, and using simple random...

Abstract: In this paper, acceptance sampling plans are developed for the odds exponential log logistic distribution (OELLD) introduced by Rosaiah et al. [1] based on lifetime percentiles when the life test is truncated at a predetermined time. The minimum sample size necessary to ensure the specified lifetime percentile is obtained under a given customer’s risk. The operating characteristic values of the sampling plans as well as the producer’s risk are presented. One example with real d...
Abstract This article describes the development of an acceptance sampling plan based on percentiles for Type-II generalized log-logistic distribution (TGLLD) introduced by Rosaiah et. al. [1]. The plan is developed by considering the lifetime percentiles as a variable and the life test will be terminated at a pre-specified time. The objective of the test is to determine the minimum sample size required to achieve a specific lifetime percentile at an acceptable level of consumer and producer r...
