Abstract:
The girl child’s transition from childhood to adulthood, Dipo, is of prime importance in the development of the Krobo community of Ghana. The transition acknowledges the part women play in the welfare of society; hence the performance of elaborate puberty rites for girls. The performance of Dipo puberty rites is therefore regarded as a means of unifying teenage women in their social role and integrating the arts of the Krobo people. Furthermore, it reveals the significance of these different art forms in the life of the Krobo people and in Dipo performance in particular. The problem, however, is that although there are several artistic elements embedded in the performance of Dipo, they have not been documented as art forms; nor have they constituteded a site for critical discussion and appraisal of Ghanaian performing arts. Early historical and anthropological scholarship on Dipo almost completely overlooks these artistic elements. This essay responds to this critical gap by situating Dipo in the context of these artifacts as displayed in multiple phases of ritual ‘installation’ performance. This essay also identifies and examines the specific artistic elements featuring in the rite in order to highlight their embeddedness in and significance to the Krobo people, and, by extension, Ghana. The artistic elements in Dipo include ritualized visual, verbal, body, and theatrical elements, all of which are active and inseparable in the rites. As such, these art forms are analysed and discussed by means of figures and plates, which confirm visually their existence, aesthetic significance, and cultural value.

Abstract:
This essay offers broad reflection on some of the challenges faced by African composers of art music. The specific point of departure is the publication of a new anthology, Piano Music of Africa and the African Diaspora, edited by Ghanaian pianist and scholar William Chapman Nyaho and published in 2009 by Oxford University Press. The anthology exemplifies a diverse range of creative achievement in a genre that is less often associated with Africa than urban ‘popular’ music or ‘traditional’ music of pre-colonial origins. Noting the virtues of musical knowledge gained through individual composition rather than ethnography, the article first comments on the significance of the encounters of Steve Reich and György Ligeti with various African repertories. Then, turning directly to selected pieces from the anthology, attention is given to the multiple heritage of the African composer and how this affects his or her choices of pitch, rhythm and phrase structure. Excerpts from works by Nketia, Uzoigwe, Euba, Labi and Osman serve as illustration.

Abstract:
This study is a curriculum research project that focuses on teaching the traditional arts of Ghana and enduring artistic ideas to Ghanaian basic school students. It has been designed based on data from a survey conducted with experts in Ghana arts history and on the traditional arts of Ghana. The curriculum covers the major arts practiced by the traditional artists. It also recognizes some contemporary Ghanaian artists and their artworks. This study offers insights into Ghanaian basic school art teachers’ philosophies and experience with their traditional arts. Through analysis of the findings, the major themes that emerged were changes in the assessment strategies of the national curriculum for Creative Art subject, the opportunities this new curriculum might bring to multicultural education, and the positive effect this curriculum has had on teachers’ understanding and designing of traditional art lessons.

Abstract:
Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: African art music practices of western origin have oftentimes been excluded from general discourses on western art music practices. In this study, close readings of selected art songs by twentieth and twenty-first century Nigerian, Ghanaian, Egyptian and South African composers serve to ‘map’ this music through challenging existing general discourses on art music composition, and genre-specific discourses on art song composition in Africa. The readings also serve to create new discourses, including ones that promote African crossregional engagements. In the first part of this dissertation, the readings take place in the contexts of the selected countries. The second section presents pre-selected discourses and theories as points of departure. Chapter 2 proposes to question how the theory of African vocalism can be expanded, and how animist materialism could serve as an alternative context in which to read the composition of art music in Nigeria and Ghana. Chapter 3 aims to answer which strategies in anti-exotic self-representation have been followed in twentieth-century Egyptian art song. Chapter 4 asks how South African composers of art song have denoted ‘Africa’ in their works, and how these denotations relate to their oeuvres and general stylistic practices. Chapter 5 interrogates how composers have dealt with the requirements of tonal languages in their setting of texts in such languages to music. Chapter 6 probes possible interpretations of composers’ display of the ‘objects’ of cultural affiliation, positing expatriate African composers as diplomats. Chapter 7 asks what the contexts are in which to read specific examples of African intercultural art music, without which the analyst might make an inappropriate (perhaps unethical?) value judgement. The conclusion presents a comparison of trends and styles in African art song to those in certain western song traditions. A discussion on folk and popular song styles as art is followed by a consideration of African vocalism in the context of the dissertation as a whole. A continuation of an earlier discussion on the compositional denotation of ‘Africa’ leads to a consideration of the ‘duty to denote’ in the context of western modernity.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Kunsmusiekpraktyke van westerse oorsprong in Afrika is gereeld van algemene diskoerse oor westerse kunsmusiekpraktyke uitgesluit. Stip-lesings van geselekteerde kunsliedere deur Nigeriese, Ghanese, Egiptiese en Suid-Afrikaanse komponiste dien in hierdie studie om die musiek op die ‘kaart te plaas’ deur in gesprek te tree met bestaande algemene diskoerse oor kunsmusiekkomposisie, asook genre-spesifieke diskoerse oor kunsliedkomposisie in Afrika. Die lesings dien ook om nuwe diskoerse te skep, insluitend diskoerse wat gesprekke óór die grense van verskillende streke in Afrika bevorder. Die lesings in die eerste helfde van die proefskrif vind plaas binne die kontekste van die geselekteerde lande. In die tweede deel word vooraf-geselekteerde diskoerse en teorieë as wegspringpunte gebruik. Hoofstuk 2 stel dit ten doel om te vra hoe die teorie van Afrikavokalisme (African vocalism) uitgebrei kan word, en hoe animistiese realisering (animist materialism) as alternatiewe konteks kan dien waarin die komposisie van kunsmusiek in Nigerië en Ghana gelees kan word. In Hoofstuk 3 word gepoog om uit te vind watter strategieë in anti-eksotiese self-uitbeelding gevolg is in twintigste-eeuse Egiptiese kunsliedkomposisie. Die doel van Hoofstuk 5 is om uit te vind hoe komponiste die vereistes van toontale in hul toonsettings van tekste in sulke tale hanteer het. Hoofstuk 6 ondersoek moontlike interpretasies van komponiste se aanbiedings van die ‘objekte’ van kultuuraffiliasie deur die postulering van geëmigreerde komponiste as diplomate. Hoofstuk 7 vra wat die kontekste is waarin spesifieke voorbeelde van interkulturele kunsmusiek uit Afrika gelees kan word, waarsonder die analis ‘n onvanpaste (dalk onetiese?) waardebeoordeling kan maak. Die slot bied ’n vergelyking van tendense en style in Afrika-kunsliedere met dié in sekere westerse liedtradisies aan. ’n Bespreking van volks- en populêre liedstyle as kuns word gevolg deur ’n oorweging van Afrika-vokalisme in die konteks van die proefskrif as geheel. ‘n Voortsetting van ’n vroeëre gesprek oor die komposisionele uitbeelding van ‘Afrika’ lei tot ‘n oorweging van die ‘plig om uit te beeld’ in die konteks van westerse moderniteit.

Abstract:
High rates of malnutrition among Ghanaian children indicate the need to examine determinants of diet and nutritional status in this population. This study examined differences in the diets of children 2-5 y of age associated with: 1) pre- to post-harvest season changes in rural northern Ghana (n=190) and 2) attendance at daycare centres (DCC) with informal school feeding programs in rural mid-country Ghana (n=193). Interviewer-administered questionnaires were used to collect dietary (24-hour recall), morbidity and demographic information. Although diets improved with the post-harvest season, illness increased and acute nutritional status deteriorated which were likely due to unexpected severe flooding prior to post-harvest data collection. Children who attended DCC had higher daily intakes of energy, protein, calcium, iron and zinc than their non-DCC counterparts. These findings provide important insights into determinants of diet and nutritional status among Ghanaian children as well as a potential mechanism for improving diets in this population.<br>Des taux élevés de malnutrition parmi enfants ghanéens indiquent le besoin d'examiner les déterminants d'alimentation et de nutrition dans cette population. Cette étude a examiné les différences d'alimentation des enfants âgés 2 à 5 ans associées avec : 1) les changements avant et âpres-saison moisson dans le canton nord du Ghana (n=190) et 2) la présence aux garderies (DCC) qui se comprennent des programs non-officiels d'alimentation au milieu du pays (n=193). Des questionnaires administrés par des interviewers étaient utilisés pour collecter information diététique (rappel 24-heur), de morbidité et démographique. Bien que l'alimentation s'est améliorée lors de l'âpres-saison moisson, les maladies se sont augmentées et le statu aigu nutritionnel s'est détérioré, lesquels il est probable étaient en raison des inondations sévères inattendues avant que l'information d'âpres-moisson aie été collecté. La consommation d'énergie, protéine, calcium, fer et zinc parmi les enfants qui se présentaient aux garderies était plus élevée que celle des ses homologues. Ces découvertes apportent des aperçus importants à propos des déterminants du statu nutritionnel et d'alimentation des enfants ghanéens, et aussi des mécanismes potentiels pour améliorer l'alimentation de cette population.

Abstract:
Predictors of weight change throughout the first year postpartum were examined using data from 314 Ghanaian HIV-positive (HIV-P) and HIV-negative (HIV-N) women. The overall effect over one year postpartum was a loss in average weight in HIV-P women and a gain in average weight in HIV-N women. After controlling for confounders, weight change was negatively associated with being HIV-P and having a higher number of days of breastfeeding and illness, and positively associated with being a trader. To complement the quantitative analysis, qualitative data on nutrition education services provided to HIV-P women in Ghana were collected through focus group discussions with 38 HIV-P women, and semi-structured interviews with 12 health workers, 5 non-governmental and governmental personnel and a community leader. Financial insecurity, low support from health services, and stigma limited the women's ability to follow recommendations received. Barriers to providing more nutrition education included lack of audience-appropriate materials and in-service training. HIV-P women may need individualized nutrition counselling to help them maintain a normal weight during the postpartum period.<br>Les prédicateurs du changement de poids durant la première année postpartum ont été examinés en utilisant des données de 314 femmes Ghanéennes VIH-positives (VIH-P) et VIH-négatives (VIH-N). L'effet achevé après un an postpartum, en moyenne, était une perte de poids par les femmes qui sont VIH-P et un gain de poids par les femmes qui sont VIH-N. Après avoir contrôler d'autres facteurs, le changement de poids se retrouve négativement corrélé avec VIH-P et le fait d'avoir plus de jours d'allaitement et des maladies, par contre positivement associe avec être un trader. De plus, pour compléter l'analyse quantitative, des informations qualitatives sur les services d'éducation nutritifs fournis aux femmes qui sont VIH-p à Ghana ont été recueillis grâce à des discussions de groupe avec 38 femmes VIH-p, et aussi a travers des entrevues semi-structurées avec 12 inspecteurs de santé, 5 non gouvernementales et gouvernementales personnels et un dirigeant de la communauté. Les obstacles à une éducation nutritionnelle figuraient notamment le manque d'auditoire de matériels appropriés et de la formation continue. L'insécurité financière, le faible soutien des services de santé, et la stigmatisation limite la capacité des femmes à suivre les recommandations reçues. Les femmes VIH-P auraient éventuellement besoin de conseils de nutrition individuels pour les aider à maintenir un poids normal au cours de la période postpartum.

Abstract:
This chapter posits that the science of psychotherapy is a culturally defined art. Psychological theories must, of necessity and efficacy, be adapted and responsive to the context within which they are practiced. The Ghanaian cultural context is deeply spiritually-oriented. Socio-religious beliefs in this cultural context define the Ghanaian concept of health, ill health, and health-seeking behaviours. Therefore, effective psychotherapy and culturally competent care must be context specific and suited to the needs, norms, practices and beliefs of the indigenous people. Yet, it is not unusual to find clinicians who practice in one cultural context but were trained in another; a situation that sometimes hinders effective service delivery. The chapter discusses some of the challenges faced by Ghanaian psychotherapists, practicing in Ghana, who were trained in a non-African cultural context. Excerpts of clinical case studies are used to illustrate these issues and suggestions for culturally competent care conclude the chapter.

Full text
Abstract:
Many SMEs lack business competitiveness and sustainability. Their potential for growth and expansion is limited, and they are constrained by institutional challenges (such as high-interest rates and rigid regulatory requirements) which impede their creativity, innovativeness and sustainability. Despite the numerous contributions of the sector to the Ghanaian economy, SME internationalisation in Ghana is at the nascent stage and is bedevilled with a gamut of institutional challenges. Studies of the formal and informal institutional effects on indigenous SME internationalisation in the Ghanaian economy are limited. Furthermore, a stylised framework which serves as a model to aid academics and researchers in investigating the impact of the formal institutions (legal and political) and informal institutions (socio-culture) on Ghanaian-owned businesses is under-canvassed in the Ghanaian entrepreneurial eco-system. Hence, this paper suggests a model for institutions and SME internationalisation to boost their innovativeness and business sustainability.

Abstract:
This chapter concerns how Pentecostal believers evaluate, sustain, and create moral geographies of their inner selves, their surroundings, and the wider world in their charismatic practices. It explores these practices based on fieldwork conducted with migrants from Ghana in London, but also on research in transnational Pentecostal networks of Ghanaian-founded churches based in Berlin and Hamburg. While the focus is on how moral subject positions are created in this “simultaneously universal and deeply personal” movement, the chapter also emphasizes that Pentecostal practices are inevitably relational. Importantly, this chapter proposes that the question of rupture that dominated the anthropological literature for quite some time needs to be reformulated in light of the diversification of the Pentecostal scene; for young Ghanaian migrants born into born-again families, the challenge is how to preserve these moral boundaries.

Abstract:
Abstract This study was to assess how the implementation of LI 2201 has impacted the development of local skills in the sector. The study focused on the two producing International Oil Companies (IOCs) and the Petroleum Commission (PC). Data gathered were gathered using the mixed approach and analysed using descriptive analysis. The study revealed that the IOCs have put several initiatives in place to recruit and develop Ghanaians for key positions in their organization. These initiatives have resulted in forty six percent (46%) of Management staff, seventy four percent (74%) of Core Technical staff and ninety four percent (94%) of Other Support staff in their organisations combined being Ghanaians. The PC has also initiated a number of initiatives which are building the needed vocational skills as well as practical experience of Ghanaians and have led to localization of some positions within the sector. Despite the successes achieve so far, there are challenges facing the PC and the IOCs which make it difficult for the sector to achieve the full intent of LI 2204. Key among the challenges are lack of required local skills, high skills development cost, lack of cooperation among key stakeholders and limited practical development opportunities which need to be addressed to be able to achieve the key intent of the Regulations. These challenges have been acknowledged by The PC and have set up an internal committee headed by the Director of Localisation to look into ways in which localization can be improved.

Abstract:
Abstract Using prototypes during design requirements elicitation (RE) interviews with stakeholders can encourage stakeholder participation. Stakeholder engagement and the quality of the feedback provided can be influenced by the format of the RE interview, especially in a cross-cultural design setting. Although the selection of design practices is typically motivated by designer preferences and design outcomes, deliberate consideration of stakeholder preferences and perceptions may lead to a more nuanced understanding of when and how to best leverage particular design practices. This study investigated the influence of the number of prototypes (here, assistive devices for removing subdermal contraceptive implants) presented during RE interviews on Ghanaian stakeholder preferences. The findings revealed that most participants (n = 34, 94%) preferred the presence of one or more prototypes compared to no prototypes during the interviews because prototypes enabled participants to better understand the design space, provide accurate feedback, and evaluate ideas. Prototypes provided participants with a basis for answering designers’ questions. When they were not provided with a prototype, participants explained that they imagined a novel device concept or recalled a device from prior experiences. Further, participants preferred the use of three prototypes versus a single prototype because multiple prototypes enabled them to compare across designs and make choices. These findings suggest that designers seeking requirements-related input from stakeholders at the problem definition stage should consider using one or more prototypes, unless they are interested in collecting design ideas from stakeholders.

Abstract:
This paper seeks to investigate the sources and the level of fuel contamination in the Ghanaian market and its effects on internal combustion engines and the environment. A survey was conducted in and around the Tema Metropolitan Assembly to collect samples of fuels from different retailers without letting them know the intentions of the buyer (that these are for research). Experiments were carried out at Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), Tema, Ghana, on the two conventional fuels collected from these sources. The analysis of the results showed that fuel from the fuel tank and “Zamelama” (small scale petrol retailers) filling station had the highest level of contamination as far as the experiment on petrol (gasoline) was concerned. With the diesel fuel experiment, most of the values obtained were high but within the standard range at the refinery. Information obtained from questionnaires given to fuel tanker drivers, mechanics and sales persons at various filling stations indicated that the adulteration is done using Naphtha and Kerosene. Consequently, other experiments were carried out at TOR using different proportions of Naphtha and Kerosene and the resultant properties as a result of the adulteration were analyzed. It was observed that the adulterated fuels have undesirable properties such as High Gum Content, low Research Octane Number (RON) and Reid Vapour Pressure (RVP) values which may lead to engine damage and pollution of the environment due to increased exhaust emissions. Considering the results of the experiment, it can be concluded that Petrol adulterated with Naphtha or Kerosene should not be used in Internal Combustion Engines. This is because of its undesirable properties such as higher Gum content, lower RON and RVP values which lead to engine damage and pollution of the environment due to increased exhaust emissions.

Abstract:
In September 2015, Ghana along all UN member states endorsed the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as the cardinal agenda towards achieving a prosperous global future. The SDGs are strongly interdependent, making progress in all goals essential for a country’s achievement of sustainable development. While Ghana and other West African nations have exhibited significant economic and democratic development post-independence. The judiciary system and related legal frameworks, as well as the lack of rule law and political will for safeguarding the human rights of its citizens, falls short of considering violations against minorities. Will Ghana be able to localize human rights related SDGs, given that West African governments historically tended to promote internal security and stability at the expense of universal human rights? This paper focuses on evaluating the commitments made by Ghana towards achieving Agenda 2030, with a particular focus on the SDGs 10 and 16 relating to the promotion of reduced inequalities, peace, justice and accountable institutions. Moreover, this paper also analyzes legal instruments and state laws put in place post Ghana’s democratization in 1992 for the purpose of preventing discrimination and human rights violations in the nation. The article aims to highlight how Ghana’s post-independence political experience, the lack of rule of law, flaws in the judiciary system, and the weak public access to justice are obstacles to its effective localization of human rights SGDs. Those obstacles to Ghana’s compliance with SDGs 10 and 16 are outlined in this paper through a consideration of human rights violations faced by the Ghanaian Muslim and HIV minorities, poor prison conditions, limited public access to justice and the country’s failure to commit to international treaties on human rights. Keywords: Ghana, human rights, rule of law, security, Agenda 2030
