Etude des difficultes de La Lecture a haute voix dans une classe de fle cas des apprenants de tempane Senior High School

The study focuses on the difficulties learners of French as a foreign language face in reading aloud at Tempane Senior High School. The research also aimed at identifying the causes of such difficulties in order to propose appropriate and effective methods to help learners overcome them. We used a reading aloud test to examine the level of learners and to bring to light some of the difficulties they face in the process of reading. Then we distributed a questionnaire to two teachers of French to collect data in the abovementioned school. Analysis of data collected have shown that a great number of the learners have difficulties in reading aloud. The study also showed that even though the French language itself posed a lot of difficulties to the learners and the users of the language in general due to its complex nature, they were mostly influenced by their previous knowledge of their native languages and the English language. The method of teaching adopted by their teachers was also another factor that contributed to this challenge. In light of these findings, we proposed that the syllabic method is a more effective tool to help learners overcome these difficulties. It is more effective because it makes the learner active during the process of reading due to the fact that this method helps learner break the words down into smaller units thereby making their pronunciation less difficult.

Evaluating compliance to food safety and the practice of good hygiene in selected hospitals in the capital city of Ghana

The main objective of the study was to evaluate compliance to food safety and the practice of good hygiene in selected hospitals in the capital city of Ghana. This study adopted the case study design. The researcher used both qualitative and quantitative research approach. The population for the study was three hundred and twenty (320). The population consisted of all hospital food handlers and supervisors in charge of the catering services in inpatient hospitals in the Trust hospital (Accra), Accra Psychiatric Hospital, 37 Military Hospital, Korle Bu Teaching hospital (Accra) and Ridge Regional Hospital (Accra). One hundred and seventy five (175) respondents were randomly selected for the study. The instruments used in this study were questionnaire and interview guide. The questionnaire data that was collected was then coded to enable the respondents to be grouped into limited number of categories. The SPSS version 16 was used to analyse the primary data. The study results concluded that as a consequence of effective training, the hospital food handlers complied with good hygiene in hospital catering in Ghana by paying attention to their personal hygiene because they believed that food safety is very important to consumer’s health. The respondents used fresh and healthy raw materials in food preparation, they wore caps, masks and protective gloves during food preparation in order to prevent food-borne illnesses, they always kept their work area clean for safe food production. Moreover, the study concluded that the perceived barriers to compliance to food safety operating procedures among food handlers in the selected hospitals in Accra, Ghana, were inadequate storage facilities to store the food, lack of effective training and development programmes regarding food safety issues inadequate authorities to monitor the food preparation and storage process. These were challenges to compliance to food safety operating procedures among food handlers in selected hospitals in Ghana. The study recommended that the Management of the hospitals should organise periodic seminars, workshops and training programmes to equip matrons University of Education, Winneba http://ir.uew.edu.gh v and cooks with the requisite knowledge regarding food safety issues to enhance the compliance to food safety standards in hospital catering.

Evaluating food safety training impact on food handlers in the food service industry

Sixty eight personnel in the food service in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, Ghana, with varied educational and job experiences were given training on basic food hygiene. Personnel were divided into 4 groups and each group given 8 hours full day training. Topics for training were broadly on 'Food Hygiene', 'Personal Hygiene', 'An Introduction to National and International Food Legislation and how it affects the food handler', and 'Fitness at work based on International Food Standards'. Most participants had an average awareness in food hygiene; this included an appreciation of what could be considered food hazards, whether food hazards are preventable, those in charge of ensuring food safety, and why food handlers need to keep their food safe for their customers. The standard examination consisted of questions like differences between 'use by' and 'best before' dates, the temperature range considered as the danger zone, the appropriate storage temperatures for storing long and short shelf-life products in the freezer, chilling temperatures and how to handle high risk products.

Evaluating hotel websites as a marketing communication channel: A dialogic perspective

The purpose of this paper is to assess hotel websites as a marketing communication tool using Kent and Taylor�s (1998) dialogic principles. This study was executed qualitatively using content analysis of 42 hotel websites in Ghana. The results of the study show that hotels in Ghana are adequately utilising websites as a marketing communication tool. The findings further show a preponderant use of the principle of conservation of visitors and the dialogic loop principle by the sampled hotel websites. However, the majority of the sampled websites performed rather poorly on the return visit principle. The research contributes to the scarce literature on hospitality management in an emerging economy context. � 2015, � The Author(s) 2015.

Evaluating how COVID 19 affected the meal experience of restaurant customers in Akayet hotel restaurant at Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the meal experience of restaurant customer in Akayet Hotel restaurant at Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region. Descriptive research design was used. Moreover, quantitative research approach was adopted. The research was undertaken in Akayet Hotel Restaurant in Bolgatanga. The target population were 110 respondents. Random sampling method was used to obtain the sample size of 86 participants. The main tool for collection of data was questionnaire. The statistical package for social scientists (SPSS version 22) was used to process all the quantitative responses from the questionnaire. The study results show that majority 50(59.5%) of the respondents agreed that for hospitality enterprises like as hotels, restaurants, and bars, COVID-19 has created a serious dilemma and the lockdown policy forced restaurants to close. Customers exhibited a proclivity to shun other individuals when out in public and also, 43(51.2%) of the respondents agreed that because of the social distancing strategy, governments advised or required such enterprises to focus on delivery services or restrict dining capacity even after they reopened. The determinants of meal experience of customers were ranked as spicy food menu (mean score of 4.00, ranked 1st), hygiene and cleanliness (mean score of 3.90, ranked 2nd), cleanliness of restrooms and atmosphere (mean score of 3.89, ranked 3rd), and value for money (mean score of 3.86, ranked 4th), employee friendliness (mean score of 3.86, ranked 5th), and efficient service (mean score of 3.84, ranked 6th). The study concluded that, food handlers‟ hands were properly washed with soap under running water, and personal hygiene and personal hygiene practices were properly adhered to as nose and face masks were frequently used, and this improved the quality of the food. The study recommended that the Government of Ghana through the Bolgatanga Metropolitan Assembly should periodically inspect the premises of the restaurants operators to ensure that the eating places are neat and free from any unhygienic materials that can cause epidemic like COVID-19, cholera etc.

Evaluating sanitation practices among stationary street food vendors within the nima-mamobi communities of Ayawaso East Municipality of Greater Accra, Ghana

Street food is any ready to eat food or beverage sold and sometimes prepared in outdoor public spaces which may include streets, squares, parks, open-air markets, and others by vendors or cooks on the move (hawkers) or stationary. Food and water-borne diarrheal diseases are estimated to cause between 450,000–700,000 deaths in Africa annually. This study adopted a quantitative and qualitative research approach using structured questionnaires with predetermined responses and Likert scale in the data collection and analysis. The non-probability sampling technique specifically convenience sampling was used to collect data from customers. Hence, 100 stationary street food vendors in Nima Mamobi which is located in the capital city of Ghana were purposively selected to participate in the study using the Yamane formula. The target population for a survey is the entire set of units for which the survey data are to be used to make inferences. The data collection instrument is a questionnaire divided into sections a, b, c, and d. The analysis and debate are presented in this chapter. To answer the research questions, the discussion was done about the review of literature in chapter two. As a result, the study's findings were compared to the relevant ideas and concepts presented in the literature review. The findings are divided into eight sections, each of which focuses on one of the research issues. The study recommends that the waste management services should also be checked for punctuality and regularity, Owners of stray animals should be given occasional cautions and their animals given limited access to certain parts of the twin towns, there should also be research to determine the quality of food and water available at these vending areas. It was then concluded that the people of Nima – Mamobi did not express much knowledge about food safety practices as they did not perform proper sanitary practices.

Evaluating teachers’ access to digital technologies in basic schools in Asante Akim Central Municipality

The purpose of this study was to evaluate teachers’ access to digital technologies in basic schools within Asante Akim Central Municipality in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. It precisely looked at the levels of access of the teachers based on the successive kinds of access to digital technology model. A descriptive survey design was employed. A total of 108 participants who were basic school teachers in Asante Akim Central Municipality was used as a sample size. The study revealed, among other things, that teachers had access to a number of ICT tools such as laptops, internet, computer software, printers, learning management systems and desktop computers. The study also found that teachers had operational, informational and strategic skills, and they used the ICT tools for personal and professional engagements. Teachers’ skills were found to have a substantial impact on their usage access, whereas physical access had no significant relationship with motivational access. It was recommended that basic school teachers should purchase statistical software packages and make research as prerequisite of teaching at basic level to get teachers more exposed to statistical tools. Also, in the introduction of digital technologies to teachers, the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use representing intrinsic motivation should be emphasised. Further, it is recommended that teachers in the basic schools should organise periodic ICT seminars to increase teachers’ use of the ICT tools. Lastly, Municipality should make strong ICT skills as part of the pre-requisite skills for appointment of teachers at basic level.

Evaluating the awareness and importance of food labelling information among consumers in the Kumasi metropolis of Ghana

Food labelling is an important communication tool between consumers and food manufactures. Consumers' ability to read and understand information on a food label is vital. This study was aimed at determining the relevance of food label information to consumers in the Kumasi metropolis of Ghana. Structured questionnaires were administered to 455 respondents who were randomly selected from retail centres in Adum, Kumasi. Respondents buying indicators were in the order of expiry data, nutritional information, ingredients, taste and appearance with product price being the least. Respondents were generally conscious of date markings. Food related diseases of most concern to respondents were Diabetes (35.60%) and Hypertension (25.1%). About 45% of respondents were concerned with colour additives in food. Whiles about 89% of respondents had ever read storage instructions, 84.8% actually followed the storage instructions. Conclusively, respondents were fairly knowledgeable in the use of food label information. � 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Evaluating the Higher-Order Slip Consequence in Bioconvection Nanofluid Flow Configured by a Variable Thick Surface of Disk

For innovations in manufacturing and engineering scientific fields, the devices (electrical and computer systems) with large thermal effectiveness are needed. As a result, their thermal efficiency has become a very hot problem for many canvassers. With the novelty of this analysis, a mathematical study is performed to estimate the Darcy-Forchheimer flow of viscous magnetized fluid with Arrhenius activation energy and bioconvection effects through a variable thick surface of a rotating disk. The impact of thermal conductivity, heat source, and nonlinear thermal radiation is considered. The higher-order velocity slip impacts are also scrutinized. The system of partial differential equations (PDEs) and specific boundary restrictions is altered into a system of ODEs by adopting the suitable similarity transformations. The reduced ODE's system is tackled with the aid of shooting scheme under (bvp4c) built-in tool commercial software MATLAB. Moreover, the effects of different parameters over velocity components, thermal conductivity, concentration, and microorganism's fields are also examined. The confirmation of our findings is also explained through tables and graphical results. The results revealed that the radial velocity increases with the growing estimations of mixed convection parameter. The second-order velocity slip in radial direction causes a decrement in the estimation of axial velocity. Temperature distribution increases with a larger temperature ratio parameter. The concentration field of species and microorganism profile is reduced via a Brownian motion parameter and Peclet number, respectively. � 2022 Hassan Waqas et al.

Evaluating the national literacy acceleration programme on lower primary in the Upper West Region

The study sought to evaluate the implementation of the National Literacy Acceleration Programme (NALAP) and to assess progress made so far after the implementation. This study again sought to assess how the teaching of language and literacy from the Kindergarten to primary three was implemented as a follow-up to the NALAP which is bi-literacy language programme and whether the methods, strategies and materials of NALAP were effectively used. It was also to investigate the extent to which NALAP helped to improve pupils’ literacy development and the challenges the programme might have encountered in the teaching and learning of language and literacy. The study focused on only lower primary teachers. The design was cross-sessional research design. Four instruments; namely, Questionnaire, interview guide, observation guide and document analysis were used for the data collection. The target population for the study comprised 1852 lower primary teachers of the Upper West Region with an accessible population of 656 and sample size of 100 teachers. Multiple sampling techniques such as quota sampling technique, purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used. Quota sampling technique was used to select 20 teachers from each district. Purposive sampling technique was also used to select five districts lower primary teachers among eleven districts. In addition, two teachers were also purposively selected from among the overall sample from each district for the interview and observation respectively. Simple random sampling technique was used to select four schools in each district with five teachers from each school. Two schools too were selected in each district for the document analysis. The results were analyzed using frequency tables and percentages. The findings revealed that NALAP was implemented to some extent in some schools but had a lot of challenges. The results again showed that there were NALAP teaching and learning materials are available in the schools but were insufficient (61%) and some schools had none at all. Recommendations were made for the provision of teaching learning materials, training of teachers in bilingual biliteracy methods of teaching to enable them teach language and literacy proficiently and in-service programmes for serving teachers in the system. And finally, suggestions were made for further studies.
