    Opis:
    The study examines the shape of business research supervision in institutions of higher learning. The study was based on the sensitivity that the quality of business research supervision in Ghanaian Technical Universities is abating as less attention seem to be paid to such academic exercise by these institutions. The study was guided by the interpretive theory of social constructivism. Document analysis, archival contents and interview techniques were used to explore the perceptions of 45 participants and 120 archival contents (supervised and approved bounded project reports) on the state of business research supervision. Four set of issues including; (a) definition of research supervision, (b) existence of institution-wide research supervision policy and procedures, (c) availability of resource for research supervision exercise and (d) the extent of influence of quality assurance directorates on research supervision steered the study. Respondents had a more traditional and limited definition and understanding of research supervision. There was absence of institution-wide policies to govern project work undertaking and supervision. Although departments admitted having personalised research supervision policies, they were not overtly communicated to both students and supervisors. Project supervision exercise was also inadequately resourced: a demotivation for supervisors. Quality assurance policies did not cover project work supervision. Per the framework used in the study, the problems identified above accounted for poor quality supervision and had a rippled negative implication on research outcomes. Among others, the study recommended the development of institution-wide policies that clearly defines and communicates responsibilities of supervisors and students as well as supervision expectations. Supervision exercise should be well-resourced (financial, material, human, information and processes), this will help motivate supervisors and students to tackle the exercise with utmost seriousness. Quality assurance policies must be broadened to include all aspects - pre and post project work supervision phases. This is the only way ethical standards and integrity can be built into the supervision process. If the above recommendations are put into perspective, it is believed that quality supervision can be assured and consequently research outcomes will be improved.

    W artykule skupiono się na analizie gospodarki Ghany w latach 2005 – 2011. Głównymi obszarami badań były: struktura PKB oraz wymiana handlowa z zagranicą. Analizując wymianę handlową zajęto się głównie strukturą przedmiotową eksportu i importu oraz najważniejszymi partnerami handlowymi. W artykule wskazano również czynniki dzięki, którym Ghana znalazła się w gronie najszybciej rozwijających się gospodarek świata w 2011 roku. W ostatniej części zaprezentowano mocne i słabe strony gospodarki. Szczególne miejsce w analizie poświęcono ropie naftowej oraz wpływie rozpoczęcia jej eksploatacji na różne sfery gospodarki. Zwrócono również uwagę na wzrost zaangażowania Chin w Ghanie, realizujących swoją politykę surowcową.
    Ghana, country in western Africa, former British colony, is one of the top–ten fastest growing economies in the world, and the fastest growing economy in Africa.Oil production at Ghana's offshore field began in mid-December, 2010, and it caused boost economic growth.Ghana is rich in natural resources, including gold, diamonds, manganese ore, and bauxite, and has significant oil reserves. Further, Ghana is the world’s second-largest producer of cocoa. Ghana’s strengths are: Political and institutional stability, considerable agricultural (cocoa) and mineral (oil, gold) resources, Support of financial backers (United Kingdom, USA, China) and the International Monetary Fund. But there is also a lot of weaknesses, such as: proximity to weak Ivory Coast, dependence on cocoa, gold and, now, oil (little diversification), inadequate transport and energy infrastructures. But new investments in infrastructure and capital from China should sustain growth in the near decade.

    Opis:
    Non-farm livelihood diversification is an important livelihood strategy for rural households in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, the available evidence suggests that these strategies have received less attention; therefore, the constraints rural people face in venturing into the non-farm sector also remain unaddressed. In order to understand the livelihood strategies and constraints in the sector, this paper used crosssectional survey data from 251 randomly sampled farmers from the Sunyani West District, Ghana. Focus Group Discussions were also conducted in order to collect qualitative data to support quantitative analysis. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics: frequencies, percentages and cross tabulation. The study found that the non-farm sector was heterogeneous and highly gendered and involved several activities, with trading being the most prominent one. Gender disaggregation of non-farm activities has underlying cultural and social bases resulting in different production roles for males and females. Although farmers are predominantly engaged in farming as their major livelihood strategy, they also pursue non-farm livelihood activities due to push, rather than pull, factors. Inadequate access to credit and limited business opportunities were the major constraints impeding the development of the non-farm sector in the district. In order to propel rural development, policy makers and researchers should give attention to the development of the non-farm sector since it is an important source of income for many people. Apart from that, the study recommends that banking and micro-finance institutions design special credit programmes for rural people.

    Opis:
    Availability of surgical care in Africa is severely limited. This is due to the lack of surgeons and a small number of public hospitals. Only 25 out of 100,000 patients with inguinal hernia undergo a surgical treatment. As many as 65% of inguinal hernia repairs are performed urgently because of incarceration. Among patients with incarceration who do not reach the hospital there is recorded as many as 87 deaths per 100 cases. In order to improve the availability of treatment of inguinal hernia in Africa, humanitarian medical missions involving surgeons from Europe are organized. During regular visits to selected centers in Africa, they also carry out intensified treatment of patients and training of the local staff. The aim of the study was to present the experience of Polish surgeons from the humanitarian medical mission in Tamale in northern Ghana undertaken in fall of 2014. Material and methods. Surgical repair was performed in 87 patients (74 men – 85% and 13 women – 15%) between the ages of 26 to 70 years (mean 52.8 years; SD 10.3), who underwent a total of 98 inguinal hernia repairs under local anesthesia. Results. Lichtenstein procedure was performed in 93 and Desarda technique in 5 patients. Patients reported the long-term presence of hernia symptoms - from one to 7 years (mean 3.4 years, SD 1.4). In most patients, hernia occurred more than 3 years earlier (61 patients; 70%). There were no intraoperative complications. All patients were discharged the next day after surgery. There was one wound infection in postoperative period which required mesh explantation. Conclusions. Inguinal hernia commonly found in Ghana is a major issue for the inefficient health care system. Humanitarian medical missions can help to improve the treatment results, as long as they are carried out periodically and allow for training of local personnel. Scarce equipment of medical facilities in Ghana is not a significant difficulty in performing the Lichtenstein repair under the local anesthesia.

    Opis:
    A key driving force and determinant of a country’s worth in the globalized world is inherent in its level of industrialization. Certainly, other dimensions are crucial and come into play, however, the infamous classification of nations into industrialized and non-industrialized has added substantial merit to the concept. Essentially, industrialization in Ghana was based on the premise of the production and processing of its vast natural resources from traditionally primary products to tertiary and finished goods. While the industry can boast of employment generation and a model of economic growth in the 1960s and 1970s, inadequate implementation of industrial policies has resulted in the consistent contraction of the manufacturing subsector. Manufacturing sector contribution to GDP declined from 36.69% in 2000 to 6.7% in 2012 and therefore is considered the weakest link in Ghana’s industrial drive. This paper examines the growth, spatial structure, and distribution of manufacturing industries in the Greater Accra region using districts as the unit of analysis. The Greater Accra region has traditionally been the focal point of Ghana’s industrial development accounting for 23.4% of all manufacturing establishment as of 2015, most of which are concentrated in the Accra and Tema Metropolitan areas due to obvious political, socioeconomic and mobility factors. Examining historical data from 1962–2010, we found that despite the overwhelmingly large localization of manufacturing industries delete in Accra and Tema Metropolitan areas, a relative spatial redistribution of manufacturing industries was evident in the peripheral district of the region. Furthermore, the change in distribution is reflected in the pattern of employment at the district level, which per our findings shows a relative diffusion from the core districts of Accra to districts located in the peripheries. The study also found that industrial policies, such as free trade zone initiative, decentralization policies, foreign investment and improvements in critical infrastructure, have resulted in the relative spatial diffusion of manufacturing industries. These findings are significant because they show how areas without previous manufacturing base have witnessed the emergence of some form of industry.

    Opis:
    The discourse on homosexually has largely remained Euro-American with a focus on human right of African homosexuals residing in Africa. However, current debates in Africa have centered on the cultural acceptability, legality as well as mental health concerns presumed to be associated with homosexuality. The paper approaches the issue of homosexuality from a perspective that is sensitive to the cultural context of Ghana and also through a non-Euro-American lens. The author attempts to address some of the misunderstanding about the legal status of homosexuals and the negative attitudes in Ghana. The paper concludes that Ghanaians face a paradox of accepting homosexuality because it cannot be understood to further growth of human society from their perspective. Similarly, if Ghanaians view homosexuality as a mental health issue, then it is more appropriate to decriminalize it as it is not appropriate to criminalize mental disorders. Reconceptualizing the issue as a human rights one in which both anti- and pro-homosexual religious and sexual rights respectively are accommodated may be more progressive than promoting one set of rights at the expense of the other. Though Ghana is the focus of this paper, it is believed that the discussions presented are applicable to the rest of Africa and other non-Western societies.

    Opis:
    This study assessed the impact of Ghana's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Akoben programme, a rating and disclosure tool which seeks to promote better environmental performance in the mining and manufacturing industries in Ghana. Using a case study approach, the Akoben audit report card for a mining company was analyzed over a three-year period (2009e2011) based on 7-criteria e legal requirements, hazardous on-site waste management, toxic emissions management, environmental monitoring and reporting, best practice environmental management, complaint management, and corporate social responsibility. Key stakeholders' perceptions of the programme's suitability were solicited from the Ghana Chamber of Mines, EPA, and the mining company. Findings revealed that overall environmental performance over the three-year period under review was poor (2009 - 56.6%; 2010 - 65.6%; 2011 - 59.1%) with none of the years meeting the expected minimum limit, with the exception of legal requirements and corporate social responsibilities; the company failed in all other criteria. Specifically, both toxic and non-toxic waste emission discharges were major concerns as toxic parameters, such as for Arsenic, pH and Cyanide, were exceeded. Environmental monitoring and reporting was also a problem for the company. Stakeholders identified inadequate publicity, an absence of legal backing, and a lack of incentives for outstanding performances as the main weaknesses of the programme. Despite this, the stakeholders acknowledge the fact that the Akoben programme has improved the environmental performance of the mining companies because it puts their operations in check, although more can yet be achieved with regards environmental sustainability with this programme, if adequate measures including legal backing are put in place to ensure its continuity.

    Mining in tropical countries contributes significantly to the global minerals supplies but unregulated mining activities in reserved forests is associated with destruction, loss of habitats and loss of biodiversity. This study determined the area of the Offin shelterbelt forest reserve, Ghana, degraded through illegal mining (galamsey) and the impacts on the livelihoods of fringe communities. Thirty-two (32) coordinates were recorded around the peripheries of disturbed site in the reserve using hand-held Global Positioning System and were then imported into a geodatabase in ArcGIS which was used to estimate the area degraded. Data was obtained from 60 purposively sampled respondents from two communities fringing the reserve and 10 key informant interviews. Increased income (13%), employment opportunities (6.7%) and increased market activities (2%) were some benefits of the illegal mining activities identified by the respondents. Eight respondents associated their employment with of the advent of illegal mining activities out which 6 (70%) were engaged directly in mining activities, while 2 (30%) were into trading. The miners earned cash income range of US $ 2.9e22.9 daily. Within 5 years, illegal mining had degraded 2.5 km2 (4.4%) of the total area of the reserve and the destruction of cocoa farms and water sources (31). Farming among respondents reduced from 90% to 76% after illegal mining. The relatively high cost (US$ 6424.1) involved in flushing out and the subsequent return of such miners poses a threat to sustainable forest management and requires a more holistic approach in tackling such a problem.

    The Yam Festival in Contemporary Ghana: Tradition Beyond Religious BoundariesThis article is based on ethnographic field research conducted in the central part of Ghana, in the Brong Ahafo region. It gives a description of two yam festivals performed in 2010 in the small town of Jema and the nearby village of Kokuma. The author depicts the meanings associated with yams in traditional indigenous cultures and vernacular religions in Ghana as well as within the broader region of the Gulf of Guinea. Contemporary yam festivals are interpreted in relation to the old symbolic and sacred meanings of the yam as “the king of crops” as well as in relation to the contemporary circumstances of African societies which are becoming modernised and less dependent on traditional agriculture. A special focus is placed on the position of chiefs, royal attributes (stools) and involvement of people from different religious backgrounds (Christians, Muslims, “traditionalists”). The concept of “sensational forms” proposed by Birgit Meyer is discussed in relation to yam festivals, which are treated here as performances generating a specific religious “style” shared by contemporary Ghanaians irrespective of their religious affiliations.

    Opis:
    Smallholder farmers face multiple constraints in accessing input markets. This study seeks to understand the dynamics that influence input markets in northern Ghana and the opportunities that exist for smallholder farmers to increase their productivity and welfare. Using a random sample of 448 households, the study applied the probit and non-parametric methods in identifying the factors that influence farmers’ access to input markets and the key constraints faced by them. The results show that access to extension services, access to finance, distance to the nearest input market, and input source are significant factors that would be likely to influence farmers’ access to input markets. Lack of finance, poor road network, and low prices of output are the main critically ranked constraints limiting farmers’ access to input markets. Policy initiatives should be geared toward strengthening extension service delivery, farmer education on inputs, improving feeder roads, and encouraging private sector participation in input markets. Available opportunities to leverage on and improve farmers’ access to input markets include the governments’ input subsidy programmes, existing large-scale agricultural projects, private agricultural companies with contract farming models, and extensive network of input dealers and aggregators in the communities. These findings are relevant for farmers, input dealers and policy makers working to improve farmers’ access to input markets.

    Opis:
    Performance analysis of a 1.0 tonne desiccant evaporative cooling storage structure for mango fruits was studied. The study examined the effects of inlet air conditions and water flow rates through an absorber on the cooling performance of the system. The airflow rate was approximately 0.24 m3·s -1 and water flow rates through the absorber varied from 0 to 0.252 l·s -1 . The system produced approximately 7 kW of cooling at water supply rate of 0.252 l·s -1. A simple linear correlation was established for condition line slope from inlet to exiting air conditions for all the water flow rates. Lines of best fit resulted in correlation coefficient better than 0.96. The observed temperatures with a direct evaporative cooler, tested with freshly harvested mango fruits were found to be between 15.1°C and 23.4°C and relative humidity between 81.8% and 97.7%. Physiological weight loss and firmness assessments of the fruits were also conducted.
    Artykuł omawia analizę wydajności chłodni wyparnej o poj. 1,0 tony, wykorzystywanej do przechowywania owoców mango. Zbadano wpływ warunków wlotowych powietrza i szybkości przepływu wody przez pochłaniacz na wydajność chłodniczą systemu. Natężenie przepływu powietrza wynosiło około 0,24 m3·s-1 , a natężenie przepływu wody przez absorber wahało się od 0 do 0,252 l·s-1 . W tym czasie wyprodukowano około 7 kW chłodu przy przepływie wody wynoszącym 0,252 l·s -1 . Określono prostą korelację liniową nachylenia linii wykresu warunków, od wlotu do wylotu powietrza, dla wszystkich wielkości przepływu wody. Linie o najlepszym dopasowaniu dały współczynnik korelacji powyżej 0,96. Zaobserwowane temperatury chłodni wyparnej, sprawdzane na świeżo zebranych owocach mango, wynosiły od 15,1°C do 23,4°C, a wilgotność względna od 81,8% do 97,7 %. Dokonano również oceny fizjologicznej utraty masy i jędrności owoców.

    Opis:
    The visual modality of sign languages offers a high potential for iconicity, i.e. resemblance relationships between form and meaning. Of particular interest is the understanding that iconicity is not monolithic but demonstrated through different devices and strategies that may be influenced by cultural factors and specific communicative contexts. This chapter discusses signers and gesturers preference for specific iconic strategies to name handheld tools. Signers of Ghanaian Sign Language (GSL) and Adamorobe Sign Language (AdaSL) were compared with rural gesturers (Adamorobe) and urban gesturers. Working within the cognitive linguistic framework, the chapter discusses signers and gesturers preference for instrument and handling strategies and the consistent use of iconic strategies across signers in each group. Signers and gesturers exhibited systematic preference for iconic representation of tools, choosing an action-based sign depicting how the object is held (handling) or depicting features of the object (instrument). Interesting finding of this chapter is the language contact situation in Adamorobe, and its influence on the rural gesturers’ preference for iconic representation although all the gesturers confirmed no prior knowledge of AdaSL.

    Opis:
    Images and various visual representations accompany funeral celebrations and a process of mourning in various cultures: in the past as well as today. This article focusses on ways in which burials and funerals are celebrated in contemporary Ghana and discusses various relations functioning between mourning and visuality. Based on ethnographic data collected during fieldwork in Brong-Ahafo region (central Ghana) the author analyses visuals used as well as produced during funerals: photographs and videos made during celebrations, images printed in funeral booklets, invitation letters and obituaries. Additionally a visual presentation of a dead body during the laying-in-state-ceremony is discussed as a symbolic image of a dead person. Funeral images popular in contemporary Ghana seem to be designed as if opposing the concept of death as the end of life. Pictures ‒ abundantly produced and distributed on the course of long-lasting funeral celebrations ‒ represent a dead person as an embodiment of success, vitality and wealth.

    Opis:
    This paper explores the literature to identify common occupational injuries, diseases, and psychological wellbeing on oil rigs as well as the negative environmental impacts of the upstream oil and gas sector. It ends by making recommendations for effective health, safety, and environmental (HSE) management. Review of the literature showed that contusion (bruise), cuts, and laceration are the commonest occupational injuries that workers on the oil rig suffer and that the injuries mostly affect the hand and finger, leg, and eyes of the offshore workers. These injuries were found to be caused mostly by direct stroke, jamming and overstrain. Similarly, accidental poisoning, musculoskeletal disorders, respiratory disorders and diseases of the digestive system were also documented as the commonest occupational diseases among offshore workers. The literature also shows that working offshore is associated with poorer psychological wellbeing or health; this is to say that offshore workers tend to experience higher levels of stress, burnout, anxiety, depression, low job satisfaction (particularly with the environmental conditions associated with their work), and sleep disorders. Finally, the literature review indicated that land-use problems, air pollution, acid rain, climate change, habitat disruption, environmental degradation, oil spills and leakages are some of environmental impacts of upstream oil production. This review was concluded by recommending some measures for the management of the HSE hazards associated with the oil and gas sector.

    Opis:
    Palynofacies analyses from Bonyere Well No. 1 in the Tano basin, western Ghana has revealed five palynofacies associations (I – V) based on the percentage relative abundances of the sedimentary organic matter (SOM). The palynofacies associations reflect deposition in a fluvio-deltaic (oxic) environment, a distal dysoxic-anoxic shelf environment, a proximal dysoxic-suboxic environment, nearshore (oxic) and a fluvio-deltaic/nearshore environment with high oxygen levels and low preservation rates respectively. Based on marker palynomorphs, Campanian – Maastrichtian age has been assigned to sediments within the interval (1800-10 ft) – (90-100 ft), Turonian – Lower Senonian (Santonian) age between (3160-70 ft) – (1980-90 ft) and Aptian age between the interval (8140-50 ft) – (3340-50 ft). The absence of the elater-bearing pollen which are typical Africa-South America (ASA) elements for the Albian – Cenomanian age is indicative of an unconformity between the Aptian and Turonian sediments.

    Opis:
    The purpose of the study was to examine the prospects and challenges of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) in promoting foreign direct investment in Ghana. Descriptive survey research design was employed for this study. The populations of interest for this study are staff and management of GIPC. Convenience sampling method was adopted. The main instrument that was used to gather data was an open-ended questionnaire. The study found that the GIPC is mandated to formulate investment promotion policies and plans, promotional incentives and marketing strategies to attract foreign and local investments in advanced technology industries and skill-intensive services which enjoy good export market prospects; initiate and support measures that will enhance the investment climate in Ghana for both Ghanaian and non-Ghanaian enterprises. The study found inadequate infrastructure, inhospitable regulatory environments, macroeconomic instability, inadequate Employees, inadequate support from Investors and financial challenge as the major challenges facing GIPC in promoting FDI. Moreover, the study also found the following as the strategies that can be used to effectively to promote FDI in Ghana; providing financial support to GIPC, getting enough infrastructure to facilitate the activities of the Centre, appointment of qualified staff to occupy positions in the GIPC, employing more employees to help GIPC to effectively carry out its mandate, registration should be relatively easy and the entire process of establishing a business in Ghana should not be complex, provision of hospitable regulatory environments, ensuring macroeconomic stability, investment generation and facilitation and reducing minimum equity requirements.
    Celem tego badania jest eksploracja perspektyw i wyzwań, stojących przed Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) w zakresie promowania bezpośrednich inwestycji w Ghanie. W badaniu zostało wykorzystana metoda opisowych badań ankietowych. Populację stanowiły współpracownicy i menedżerowie GIPC. Została wykorzystana technika wygodnego doboru próby. Głównym narzędziem do zbierania danych był otwarty kwestionariusz ankiety. W badaniu zostało ustalono, że GIPC ma mandat do kształtowania polityki i planów wsparcia inwestycji, zachęt promocyjnych oraz strategii marketingowych, które przyciągną zachodnie i lokalne inwestycje do przemysłu technologii zaawansowanych oraz usług, wymagających wysokich kwalifikacji, które mają dobre perspektywy rynko-we; do rozpoczęcia oraz wsparcia środków, które poprawią klimat inwestycyjny w Ghanie jak dla przedsiębiorstw z Ghany, tak i spoza kraju. Jako główne wyzwania stojące przed GIPC w promowaniu FDI w badaniu zostały wykazane niezadowalający poziom rozwoju infrastruktury, nieprzyjazne otoczenie regulacyjne, niestabilność makroekonomiczna, nieodpowiedni poziom pracowników, nieodpowiednie wsparcie inwestorów oraz wyzwania finansowe. Ponadto w badaniu zostało wskazane strategie, które mogą być wykorzystywane efektywnie do promowania FDI w Ghanie. Jest to zabezpieczenie wsparcia finansowego dla GIPC, uzyskanie odpowiedniej infrastruktury dla ułatwiania działań Ośrodka, zatrudnienie wykwalifikowanej kadry w ramach GIPC, zatrudnianie większej liczby pracowników w celu efektywniejszego wykonania przez GIPC swoich zadań. Rejestracja działalności po-winna być prostsza, a cały proces rozpoczęcia biznesu w Ghanie nie powinien być złożony. Potrzebny jest także przyjaźniejsze środowisko regulacyjne, zapewnienie stabilności makroekonomicznej oraz generowania inwestycji oraz facylitacja i zmniejszenie minimalnego wymogu kapitałowego.

    Opis:
    This study explores the determinants of food expenditures in northern Ghana’s rural households, using a survey data collected in 2010 in the vicinity of Tamale, the capital of the Northern Region. Three estimation methods (OLS, OLS with robust error, and WLS) are used in empirical models to address the possible heteroscedasticity. Models indicate that socio-demographic factors such as income, owning a tractor, age, and household composition are important factors in determining food expenditure. Similarly, farm features such as cultivation of staple or cash crops, the field size of groundnuts, as well as buying dry goods in bulk are also found to be major determinants. Results provide useful information for both private and public sector decision makers, while supplying ample evidence of the importance of estimation method selection to generate most accurate quantified effects of individual explanatory variables on food expenditure.
    Celem badań było zidentyfikowanie determinantów wydatków na żywność w wiejskich gospodarstwach domowych w Ganie, na podstawie danych z ankiety przeprowadzonej w 2010 r. w okolicy Tamale, stolicy Regionu Północnego. Aby wykluczyć heteroskedastyczność do obliczenia modelu użyto trzech metod – MNK, MNK z poprawionymi błędami oraz WMNK. Otrzymane wyniki wskazują na czynniki socjodemograficzne (dochód, posiadanie ciągnika, wiek i skład rodziny), jako czynniki determinujące wydatki na żywność. Stwierdzono, że uprawa podstawowych roślin i tych przeznaczonych na sprzedaż (np. orzeszki ziemne) oraz niektóre inne zmienne, jak np. zakup produktów suchych w ilościach hurtowych, były statystycznie istotne. Wyniki dostarczały informacji o przydatnych w podejmowaniu decyzji zarówno w sektorze prywatnym, jak i publicznym, jednocześnie podkreślają wagę wyboru metody umożliwiającej najdokładniejszą ocenę wpływu poszczególnych zmiennych na wydatki przeznaczone na zakup pożywienia.

    The purpose of the article/hypothesis: The prime objective of this study is to discover whether external debt and foreign direct investment promote economic development. The paper investigates whether external debt and foreign direct investment inflows stimulate economic growth, intending to determine the causal relationship between the variables to serve as a substantial factor for policymakers. Methodology: Numerous econometrics techniques were employed to ensure the findings' effectiveness and accuracy, including the stationarity test, Johansen cointegration test, and multiple regression (ordinary least squares). The hypothesis test that external debt and foreign direct investment inflows do not attain their justification of ensuring economic growth was conducted empirically. Results of the research: The outcome revealed that external debt and foreign direct investment positively and significantly support Ghana's economic growth. This leads to the conclusion that these variables fulfilled their purpose.

    Opis:
    The surge in artisanal gold mining (AGM) activities and the associated environmental impact in Ghana have elicited several stakeholders' attempts to curb the problem. However, due to little understanding of the underlying issues, these efforts have been ineffective. This study aims to use a socio-ecological framework to analyze drivers of AGM activities, the environmental pressures, the state change, their impact on human welfare, and the management response as measures (DAPSI(W)R(M)) to the problem. Evaluate AGM's impact on Ghana's ability to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Data were collected from relevant literature on the subject and analyzed with the DAPSI(W) R(M) framework. Esteem needs, food, acceptance and friendship, and self-actualization are the main drivers of AGM activities leading to environmental pressures, including abrasion, extraction of living and non-living resources, the introduction of non-synthetic compounds, among others. State changes of the environment resulting from the pressures generated by human activities were changes in the land and forest cover (1.13%), topography (hills turned into flatland and undulating), and biota. Due to the state in the environment, water quality and availability, agriculture food production, fish yield, food safety, spiritual and cultural loss, death, injury, and health of gold miners and other stakeholders have been affected.

    Opis:
    Integrated soil nutrient management is required to increase and sustain agricultural productivity. Assessment of soil, organic matter and nutrient losses was carried out in a 3-year integrated maize cropping system in Ghana. The treatments: no-till (NT), minimum tillage (MT), conventional tillage (CT) and soil amendments (Control, NPK, poultry manure and their combination), were arranged in a factorial design. The results showed soil loss to range from 0.140- 4.907 Mg·haˉ¹ in the order of NT < MT < CT < Bare. Soil loss reduction over the Bare was 88% by ½ Rates of NPK+PM, 87% by PM and 85% by NPK. Soil depth reductions in NT and MT were 92% lower than in CT. The loss of organic matter ranged from 47.6 kg·haˉ¹ to 120.70 kg/ha and was in the order of Bare > CT > MT > NT. Nutrient losses followed the same trend. Losses in soil organic matter, N, P, K, Ca, Mg and Na under tillage x soil amendments interactions were higher in the CT and bare plots. NT and MT, which were recognised as conservation tillage systems, amended with combination of organic and mineral fertilisers were found as better options in minimising soil quality degradation.
    Zintegrowana gospodarka substancjami odżywczymi jest konieczna dla uzyskania wzrostu oraz utrzymania produktywności upraw rolniczych. Przeprowadzono oceną strat gleby, materii organicznej oraz substancji odżywczych w 3-letnim zintegrowanym systemie uprawy kukurydzy w Ghanie. Czynniki doświadczenia obejmowały sposoby uprawy: bezpłużny (NT), uprawa minimalna (MT), uprawa tradycyjna (CT), oraz zastosowane rodzaje nawożenia (Kontrola, NPK, nawóz kurzy, oraz ich kombinacje). Wyniki nadań wykazały straty gleby w zakresie 0,140-4,907 Mg·haˉ¹ w sekwencji rosnącej NT < MT < CT < Ugór. Redukcja strat gleby w stosunku do Ugoru wyniosła 88% dla ½ dawki NPK+PM, 87% dla PM oraz 85% dla NPK. Ubytek miąższości gleby w obiektach NT i MT był 92% niższy niż w obiekcie CT. Spadek zawartości substancji organicznej wahał się od 47,6 kg·haˉ¹ do 120,70 kg·haˉ¹, w następujący sposób: Ugór > CT > MT > NT. Straty substancji odżywczych wykazywały ten sam trend. Straty materii organicznej, N, P, K, Ca, Mg i Na pod wpływem współdziałania sposobów uprawy i nawożenia były wyższe w obiektach CT i nie uprawianym. Obiekty NT i MT, które traktowano jako systemy uprawy konserwującej, nawożone kombinacją nawozów organicznych i mineralnych, okazały się lepszą opcją w zakresie minimalizacji degradacji jakości gleby.

    Opis:
    The Konkomba, like other African peoples, do not consider the fact of death as immediate and final nor the dead person as either living or finally dead. Among the Konkomba, this transitory period between burial and secondary funeral lasts three or four years. The transitory period finishes with the secondary funeral, which lasts five to seven days. In a very expansive village of Sambul, including as many as 10 lineages and comprising about 95 homesteads, the secondary funeral took place simultaneously in eight lineages. The paper presents and analyses the secondary funeral in the lineage of Mpwando, where the author took part. This funeral lasted six days and was held between 26 April and 1 May, 1991. Comparing this secondary funeral of the Bimonkpom tribe in the village of Sambul with three secondary funerals of the Bichabob tribe in the villages of Nalongni, Sobib and Kumawa- teek, both similarities and certain differences can be observed in a number of customs and rites. Because of a large number of deceased people only in Sambul, divination rites were held on the second and third days. However, as a custom, divination on the third day in Sambul was more important, which confirms the significance of this day for divination among the Konkomba. A complete novelty in Sambul was visiting the market place by widows and accompanying persons in the evening of the third day. In the village of Sambul the widows did not visit the farm in the bush belonging to the oldest man or other older men, which is done in the tribes of Bichabob and Nakpantiib. In the tribes of Bimonkpom, Binalob and Bigbem, the widows visit the farm of the oldest man a few days after the burial. Shooting at a pole and a rooster in Sambul closes exceptionally the secondary funeral. Among the Bicha- bob the presentation and division of personal belongings of the deceased old men always ends the secondary funeral. The costly celebration of the secondary funeral, which requires a substantial financial spending on food and beer, is held in each lineage of Sambul every few years in remembrance of all who died since the last secondary funeral. It is only after the secondary funeral that a dead old man (or an old woman) can attain the dignity of an ancestor and his property (land, wives, sacred objects and power) is inherited and taken over via the mediation of the oldest member of the lineage by the dead person’s relatives who are his lineal descendants, that is brothers and sons, according to the principle of primogeniture. The secondary funeral finishes the transitory period of uncertainty, opens the way for the dead to the ancestors’ realm and confirms that older men and women have achieved the dignity of ancestors. From that time on, the Konkomba recall the deceased men and women together with other ancestors in the rituals that have home, lineage, clan and supraclan character performed in different life situations. In an attitude of respect and trust, they try - through their prayers and offerings - to gain the support and favour of the ancestors, who - as mediators between god Uwumbor and the living - take an active part in the life of the community and influence the fate of the living. The performance of different rites and symbolical activities of the secondary funeral emphasizes that the dead and the community change their roles and functions. The dead person is transformed from somebody who threatens the community to its guardian as a member of the invisible community of the dead. The secondary funeral ultimately finishes the mourning period after the dead, it confirms triumph of the community over death, emphasizes the value of life and leads the community through the hard crisis caused by the death of its members. Besides, the secondary funeral integrates the ethnic groups, helps the living people to accept the new status, and introduces them into the normal relations with the relatives and other people.

    Opis:
    Using semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs), this study examined critical stakeholder's perceptions, experiences and competence in assuring the sustainable management of Ghana's major gold mines. The investigation was inspired by a synthesis of the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the global community in September 2015; it places human resource capacity at the center of a sustainability struggle between local and international businesses. The findings of this study encompass two opposing but interesting perspectives. On the one hand, the study showed that sustainable development is understood differently by stakeholders within the gold mining sector in Ghana, which is why gold mining companies employ different approaches in their pursuit of sustainability objectives. On the other hand, the study revealed that, as mining activities are similar across different mining companies, common understanding and operation of sustainable development in the country's gold mines is a more practical approach to sustaining mining operations. This study further revealed that to facilitate the effective implementation of sustainable development within Ghana's gold mines and to ensure its alignment with SDGs, a regulatory framework is required and this should be developed based on the input of stakeholders.

    Opis:
    Praca socjalna jest praktykowana na całym świecie, a jej głównym celem jest pomoc jednostkom i poprawa dobrobytu całego społeczeństwa. Ghana jest społeczeństwem wieloetnicznym z wieloma różnymi praktykami kulturowymi, które mogą wpływać na interwencje pracy socjalnej (wdrażanie przez praktyków i reakcje klientów). Głównym celem artykułu jest pokazanie, w jaki sposób rdzenne praktyki kulturowe w Ghanie kształtują sposób wspierania dzieci, osób starszych, niepełnosprawnych fizycznie i psychicznie oraz wykluczonych społecznie. Wiedza zawarta w artykule opiera się na dostępnej literaturze przedmiotu oraz własnych doświadczeniach autora. Rozszerzony system rodzinny, w którym rodzicielstwo, pokrewieństwo i tożsamość obejmuje rodzinę nuklearną, a także dziadków, ciotki, wujów, kuzynów i teściów, jest dominujący w Ghanie, zwłaszcza na obszarach wiejskich. Pozytywny aspekt tego systemu, jak pokazano w tym artykule, ukazuje zalety kolektywistycznego podejścia do pomocy społecznej. Jednakże niektóre aspekty lokalnych praktyk kulturowych ograniczają dostęp grup defaworyzowanych do potrzebnej pomocy. W tekście wskazano na potrzebę takiego przygotowania pracowników socjalnych, aby ich praktyka była dostosowana do lokalnych praktyk kulturowych oraz aby zapewnić większej liczbie osób dostęp do pomocy i zmniejszyć szansę odrzucenia interwencji socjalnych przez ludzi w lokalnych społecznościach. Artykuł wpisuje się w dyskusję dotyczącą indigenizacji pracy socjalnej.
    Social work is practiced all over the world with the primary aim of helping individuals and improving the welfare of the general society. Ghana is a multi-ethnic society with a multitude of different cultural practices that may affect social work interventions (implementation by practitioners and clients’ response). The main goal of this paper is to show how indigenous cultural practices in Ghana shape the way of supporting children, older people, people living with physical disabilities and mental health disorders, and the socially excluded. This paper relies on available literature and the first-hand account of the author. The extended family system where parenting, kinship, and identity includes the nuclear family as well as grand-parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and in-laws is prominent in Ghana, especially in rural areas. The positive aspect of this system as shown in this paper shows the merits in a collectivist approach to social welfare. However, some aspects of local cultural practices are shown to limit how vulnerable people have access to needed help. The article indicates the need to prepare social workers in such a way that their practice is adjusted to respond to local cultural practices in order to ensure more people have access to help and reduce the potential of rejection by people in local communities. It also contributes to the discussion on the merits of indigenization of social work.

    Celem artykuły jest zwrócenie uwagi na proces pomagania i odpowiedzialności jaka się z tym wiąże w obcej kulturze, w warunkach afrykańskich. Przedstawione refleksje oparte są na doświadczeniach dwuletniego pobytu autorki w Ghanie, jej bezpośredniej pracy z dziećmi wykorzystywanymi do niewolniczej pracy, ich rodzicami i pracownikami socjalnymi. Opisany jest złożony proces odzyskiwania dzieci od strony organizacyjnej i legislacyjnej. Autorka dociera i porusza skomplikowane mechaniczny społeczno-mentalne będące u podłoża niewolniczej pracy dzieci. W nawiązaniu do własnych doświadczeń odsłania proces powrotu do normalnego życia dzieci i reintegracji, jednocześnie opisując pojawiające się zagrożenia. Przestrzega przed nieodpowiedzianym pomaganiem, zwracając jednoczenie uwagę na warunki, jakie powinny być spełnione, aby pomagać mądrze.
    The aim of the article is to draw attention to the process of helping and related responsibility in a foreign culture, in African conditions. The author presents reflections referring to her two-year stay in Ghana and direct work with children exploited for slave labour, their parents and social workers. The complex process of freeing children from slave labour is described from the organisational and legal perspective. The author discovers the complicated social and mental mechanics leading to child slave labour. With reference to her own experience, the author reveals the process of returning children to normal life and the process of reintegration while describing emerging threats. The author warns against irresponsible helping, at the same time suggesting the conditions that should be met to help wisely.

    Opis:
    The aim of the paper is to illustrate the impact of crude oil commercial production and export launch in Ghana on the country’s economy. The study is conducted based on one factor variance analysis and Tukey’s Honest Significant Difference test. Analysis is related to the Dutch disease paradox. Ghana constitutes an eminent and interesting example of a natural resource-rich country, where oil commercial production started late, in 2011. Monetary policy in Ghana seems to be effective in mitigating the effects of the Dutch disease. Research results imply that the Ghanaian Cedi depreciated rather than appreciated since crude oil export’s launch. Moreover, it is shown that the increase in oil export has not had a significant impact on the export of non-fuel goods. Additionally, the study shows that the launch of oil commercial production was associated with a contraction of agricultural value added. The rise in oil export led to a significant decrease of the rural population share in the total population. The agriculture sector, however, provides the main livelihood for many people in Ghana and the revenue generated in the sector plays an important role in the country’s development. The Ghanaian government should be especially concerned about issues related to agricultural modernisation and education in rural communities.
    Celem artykułu jest ocena wpływu uruchomienia komercyjnej produkcji i eksportu ropy naftowej w Ghanie na sytuację gospodarczą tego kraju. Badanie przeprowadzono na podstawie jednoczynnikowej analizy wariancji oraz testu HSD Tukeya. Analizę przeprowadzono w odniesieniu do zjawiska tzw. choroby holenderskiej. Ghana jest interesującym przykładem kraju bogatego w zasoby naturalne, w którym produkcja ropy naftowej rozpoczęła się późno – w 2011 roku. Polityka pieniężna Ghany wydaje się być skuteczna w łagodzeniu skutków tzw. choroby holenderskiej. Zjawisko to powiązane jest z umocnieniem się waluty krajowej, podczas gdy wyniki badań w analizowanym okresie wskazują na osłabienie waluty Ghany, a nie jej umocnienie. Wykazano także, że wzrost eksportu ropy naftowej nie miał istotnego statystycznie wpływu na eksport pozapaliwowych surowców. Wskazano, że uruchomienie komercyjnej produkcji ropy naftowej wiązało się z istotnym statystycznie spadkiem wartości dodanej rolnictwa. Wzrost eksportu ropy doprowadził także do znacznego zmniejszenia się udziału ludności wiejskiej w ogólnej liczbie ludności Ghany. Należy podkreślić, że sektor rolniczy stanowi podstawowe źródło utrzymania wielu obywateli w Ghanie, a przychody w nim generowane odgrywają ważną rolę w rozwoju kraju. Rząd Ghany powinien zwrócić szczególną uwagę na kwestie związane z modernizacją rolnictwa i edukacją społeczności wiejskich.

    Opis:
    This study investigated musculoskeletal symptoms among fish trimmers (skinners and polishers) in a fish processing factory in Ghana. The methods used included administration of questionnaire, walk through observation, interview, task analysis and future workshop. All 50 female participants answered and submitted their questionnaires. Of the 11 operations performed by skinners only 1 was rated as low risk. Also of the 12 operations performed by polishers only 2 were rated as low risk. Neck side bending, neck flexion, prolonged standing, shoulder elevation, abducted arms, repetitious reaching forward and wrist deviation were observed in most operations. This corresponds with questionnaire results in which musculoskeletal symptoms were mostly prevalent in the neck, the shoulder, the low back, the wrist/hand and the knee regions. There was no significant correlation (p < .05) between musculoskeletal symptoms and age, working hours and length of service. Task redesign, workplace changes and worker training were suggested to improve the work.

    Opis:
    This study investigated musculoskeletal symptoms among sanitation workers of a fish-processing factory. The methods used included administration of a questionnaire, walk through observation, interview, task analysis and future workshop. All 27 male participants answered and submitted their questionnaires. Of the 11 operations identified, all except one was considered safe. Bent back, bent legs, and heavy manual handling were observed to impose intolerable health risk on participants. This corresponds with questionnaire results in which musculoskeletal symptoms were mostly prevalent in the neck, the shoulder, the low back, the wrists/hands and the upper back regions. Poor psychosocial complaints were also made on the job. There was no significant correlation (p < .05) between musculoskeletal symptoms and age, working hours and length of service. Neither was any significant correlation observed (p < .05) between psychosocial work factors and musculoskeletal symptoms. Recommendations such as task redesign to eliminate high-risk elements in operations, workplace changes and worker training were suggested.

The assemblage has been interpreted as Albian - Cenomanian age, and is indicative of an arid to semi-arid palaeoclimatic conditions for these periods in the Tano Basin. Similar species have been interpreted as Albian – Cenomanian in other localities within the Africa-South America (ASA) province and thus allows for a palynostratigraphic correlation with these localities in the ASA province.

    Opis:
    The Ashanti people of Ghana call the phenomenon of spiritual possession akom. This fulfils the role of sign of calling and authentication of the function of specialist in rituals. The possession of a person by the spirit of his/her ancestor or a deity is at the foundations of his/her fulfilment of the cultic mission of medium, bringing others closer to the will of supernatural beings. It is therefore perceived as a positive and expected phenomenon. It must be correctly recognised and exploited, however. Akom makes divinative and healing practices possible. Possession is perceived by the Ashantis as individual as well as collective, prophylactic and therapeutic cultic activity. It becomes an occasion for integration of the community and renewal of the social order through unification, song and dance. The ecstasy of the traditional priest, which most often takes place during rituals, reflects and fulfils the dependence, connection and communication of the person with supernatural beings.
