ABSTRACT Introduction: Herbs have been used as an alternate form of treatment amidst the advent of orthodox therapies for health care. Herbs have been used as wellspring of potent remedies and have become an intrinsic part of various autochthonous cultures around the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about eighty percent (80%) of rural populations residing in developing countries rely on herbal medicines for their health needs including its use during pregnancy.

ABSTRACT Tuberculosis (TB) is a major occupational hazard in resource limited healthcare settings. Owing to this, the World Health Organization (WHO) has suggested the adoption and implementation of Tuberculosis Infection Prevention and Control (TBIPC) programs in all healthcare facilities. However, studies have reported improper implementation and practice of these TBIPC measures in healthcare facilities in developing countries. Thus, this study examined the knowledge and practice of TBIPC m...
ABSTRACT Several methods which have been adopted to analyze multi-category data yields unsatisfactory results because of strict assumptions regarding normality, linearity, and homoscedasticity. As a result, Multinomial logistic regression is considered as an alternative because it does not assume normality, linearity, or homoscedasticity (Hosmer & Lemeshow, (2000)). The study attempted to use Maximum likelihood estimation and predicted probability to model Maternal Health Care Services data b...
ABSTRACT Several strategies have been put in place in an attempt to reduce childhood mortality in Ghana, however the proportions of death among neonates are still quite high. The study therefore seeks to model neonatal mortality using survival analysis approach. The data used for the study was obtained from the neonate’s folders at St. Jude Hospital in Obuasi in the Ashanti Region between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2015. Data on maternal characteristics was also obtained. Neonates who...
ABSTRACT Property taxation is the backbone of local government revenue across the globe. Thus, property tax non-compliance behaviour threatens the independence, sustainability and development effort of local governments. This study sought to examine factors affecting property rate compliance behaviour in Ghana: the case of Ga East Municipality. Specifically, the study sought to assess property owners‟ level of knowledge of property rate laws, and the determinant factors of compliance behav...
ABSTRACT The research has studied the relationship between the environmental effects and the disposal of the substandard assets by the public utilities. Tanzania as a developing country face a problem of environmental effects due to mismanagement of substandard assets, procured by the public utilities. In most developing countries, like Tanzania, clear cut policies and procedure, rules and regulations, coordination in procurement activities, presence of corruptions and top management interfe...
ABSTRACT Predator-prey models describe the interaction between two species, the prey which serves as a food source to the predator. The migration of the prey for safety reasons after a predator attack and the predator in search of food, from a patch to another may not be instantaneous. This may be due to barriers such as a swollen river or a busy infrastructure through the natural habitat. Recent predator-prey models have either incorporated a logistic growth for the prey population or a time...

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...
