HypothesisOpen accessIn the author namesHealth Workers' Emotional Intelligence Development: An Examination of the Potential Roles of Tenure, Education and TrainingNestor Asiamah, Henry Kofi Mensah, Eric Fosu Oteng-AbayieHealth workers' emotional intelligence improvement has been highly recommended by researchers for enhancing healthcare. In this study, the researchers attempted to empirically test the potential roles of tenure, education and training as methods for developing the emotional intelligence of health workers. A self-reported questionnaire was employed to collect data from 1,049 randomly selected health workers from all healthcare institutions in … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 18 Oct 2016 · 7,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesLithofacies and Depositional Environment of Volcano-Sedimentary Deposits of Se Mayo Oulo BasinElie Fosso Menkem, David Sebag, Benjamin Ngounou Ngatcha, Alain DurandThe study of volcano-sedimentary deposits of Mangbai in SE Mayo Oulo basin-Cameroon leads to the identification of five major distinct lithofacies types. From the coarset to the finest lithofacies, there are: Gb-clast supported by massive coble and boulder, Gg-granule to massive gravel, Sm-massive sand, Sh-horizontal layered sandstones, Fml-massive laminated claystones. Coarse facies (Gb, Gg, Sm) are cemented with volcanic matrix … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 19 Dec 2013 · 7,372 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesWhen is Inflation Harmful? Estimating the Threshold Effect for GhanaJoseph Magnus Frimpong, Eric Fosu Oteng-AbayieProblem statement: Is inflation harmful? At what level? For all countries, both developed and developing, one of the fundamental objectives of macroeconomic policy is macroeconomic stability. In Ghana monetary and fiscal policies are aimed at sustaining high economic growth rates together with low inflation (price stability). Approach: This study estimated the threshold effect of inflation in Ghana for the period … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 9,426 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Framework for Group Key Management Protocol Assessment Independent of View SynchronyDavid Manz, Paul Oman, Jim Alves-FossProblem statement: As group key management extended into the area of large dynamic networks, complex issues emerged involving the many operations that run over several network topologies. The issues that occurred due to multiple topologies were also compounded by differing views of the network, taken at different time slices or positions within the network. This was especially complex when figuring … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 6,942 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDetermination of the Salivary Anti-Phenolic Glycolipid-1 Antibody in Leprosy Patients as a Tool to Monitoring MultidrugtherapyN. L.B. Bonfitto, A. C.F. Motta, R. B. Furini et al.Problem statement: The upper airways has a great importance as a route of M. leprae infection and because of the possibility of identifying relevant tools by systematic patient evaluation, the detection of leprosy patients by means of salivary markers becomes important. The aim of this study was to analyze anti-phenolic glycolipid 1 (anti-PGL-1) salivary and serum titers as parameters for … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,117 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSecurity Policy Development: Towards a Life-Cycle and Logic-Based Verification ModelLuay A. Wahsheh, Jim Alves-FossAlthough security plays a major role in the design of software systems, security requirements and policies are usually added to an already existing system, not created in conjunction with the product.
