3. Exploring Adult-Learning Pathways: Experience from Ghana

Author

Gyamfi, Gerald Dapaah, Buabeng, Dominic Nti, Essiam, Joshua Ofori, and Boateng, Paul Coonley

Abstract

The challenges of the 21st century and the advancement in technology in this era require continuous lifelong learning for social development and career advancement. This study explores pathways for adult learning to enhance the growth and development of people at work. The team of researchers used qualitative methods and the phenomenological approach to explore the avenues for adult learning. The findings revealed that the pathways for adult learning involve the use of experiential education, student internship programs, outdoor learning, and other approaches to lifelong adult learning. Moreover, adult learners should be guided and supported in order to learn how to self-regulate how they learn to achieve scholarship and career advancement while working. This study contributes to the literature by revealing the pathways for the eradication or reduction of illiteracy through adult learning.

16. Assessing the Defence Cooperation Agreements Between the USA and African Countries: The Case of Ghana

Author

Gyamfi, Gerald and Boateng, Paul

Abstract

International security cooperation is regarded as one of the key and successful mechanisms to fight terrorism and other cross-border criminal activities worldwide. This paper focuses on the benefits and challenges of the US and African countries' defence cooperation, using Ghana as a case study. This study used 21 people as participants. The subjects were selected based on their unique knowledge and expertise in the phenomenon under study. The researchers used interviews to solicit the views of the participants on the Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) between Ghana and the US focusing on the benefits and challenges. In conclusion, the study disclosed that no country has a monopoly on what it takes to fight terrorism and other transnational organised crime alone. The major challenges identified include the breach of domestic law, limited mutual trust, and discriminately ethnic and misguided religious practices. The challenges were stated as indispensable for the sustainability of the DCA and the successful mitigation of terrorism and transnational organised crime in West Africa.

Abstract

A long period of wide-ranging consultation on improving the partnership between voluntary and community groups and the Government has resulted in a Compact to be published on Nov. 12, 1998. The Compact is designed to strengthen the relationship between government departments and agencies and the voluntary and community sector, while specifically recognising the need for the voluntary sector to retain its independence. One of the aims of the Compact is to improve support for black and ethnic minority voluntary and community organisations and increase their influence.

Abstract

An incoming Labour government would undertake a fundamental reform of the justice and legal aid systems to empower the consumer of legal services while reducing the currently ruinous cost of going to law. Eligibility for criminal legal aid would be monitored and enforced much more vigorously in an effort to ensure the effectiveness of the reforms. Labour would also examine the possibility of requiring convicted defendants found to have access to the proceeds of crime or other funds to pay for the assessed costs of their defence. Defaulters would have to serve an additional prison sentence.

25. Evaluation of the precision and accuracy of the lignin ratio and fecal indices to estimate intake and digestibility of lactating beef females allowed an array of forage types

Author

Boateng, Paul

Abstract

Thirty-five in vivo digestion determinations over one grazing season (from June to September) with three year old, spring-calving cows were made on fresh red clover, orchardgrass-white clover, fescue, N-fertilized fescue, bermudagrass, and bermudagrass-white clover harvested at various maturities to obtain an array of dry matter digestibility (DMD). Fecal samples were analyzed for proximate analysis, detergent fiber fractions and selected minerals, N of fiber fractions, and AIA. Acid soluble ash, NFE, and microbial-N were calculated. Samples were dry-sieved after grinding through a 1 IMM screen and percent finers for 1 MM, .5 MM, .25 MM screens, and smaller than .25 MM particles (MFIMM, MF5MM, MF25MM, MFBOTTOM) calculated. Plots of fecal components against DM intake, DM digestibility, fecal DM output, and digestible DM intake were examined for linearity. Simple linear correlations were used in determining relationships among feed components, intake and digestibility variables. Regression procedures were then used to determine the relationship of the measured variables (DMI, FOUT, DMD, AND DDMI) and counter parts calculated by the method of Holloway et al. (1983). The best method that predicted DM intake employed a regression procedure utilizing fecal output Ca, CF, and DM as independent variables (R2 = .49, RSD = 66 Kg d-1). The best method for predicting DM digestibility was a regression equation using the independent variables fecal DM output, Ca, DM, CF (R2 = .57, RSD = 3.7%). The best model predicting digestible DM intake was a regression equation using the independent variables final weight, cow condition score, Ca, CF (R2 = .46, RSD = .65 Kg d-1). None of the models evaluated was able to accurately predict fecal DM output. The R2 values obtained from some of the models evaluated indicate that those models could be used to adequately predict forage intake and digestibility of extensively grazing beef cows. Lucas test of "ideal" indicators was employed to test the variables used in the predictive equations. ADL, Ca, and N were found to be "ideal" internal indicators.
