Technology Applications In Audit Management: A Case Study Of University For Development Studies, Tamale
This study explores the application of technology in audit management at the University for Development Studies (UDS), Tamale. Using interviews with 12 staff (5 from audit, 4 ICT personnel, and 3 administrators), the study assessed technology availability, effectiveness, and challenges. Results show strong ICT use in reporting (91.67%) but limited support for planning (50%) and none for risk assessment. Technology
Modeling Inflation Jumps And Regimes In Ghana: Evidence From Hidden Markov Models, Hawkes Processes, And Jump Dependence Tests
This paper examines Ghana's inflation dynamics using a combination of regime switching and self-exciting point process models, complemented with formal jump-dependence tests. A Gaussian Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is applied to monthly Consumer Price Index (CPI) year-on-year changes to identify latent inflation regimes. Structural jump events are detected using change-point methods, and their temporal dependence is analyzed through a univariate
Teachers’ Perception Of The Determinants Of Primary Education Outcomes In Nigeria Primary Education: A Study Of Zone C Educational Zone, Niger State

Modeling Interest Rate Volatility In Ghana Using Markov-switching (ms) Model
This study applies Markov-Switching (MS) models to Ghana's key interest rate series covering January 2000 to August 2025. The goal is to identify latent volatility regimes, estimate regime-specific parameters, and interpret structural breaks within the context of macroeconomic and policy events. The analysis finds strong evidence of regime shifts, typically corresponding to major economic disruptions such as the global financial
Study Of Some Field Equations Of Cosmology
This paper explores various field equations in cosmology, focusing on their derivations, applications, and implications for our understanding of the universe. We begin with Einstein's field equations and the Friedmann equations, which form the foundation of modern cosmology. We then delve into modified theories of gravity, including f(R) gravity and scalar-tensor theories. The paper also examines the field equations in
Sociodemographic Correlates Of Adherence To Antiretroviral Medication Among Plwha In Kenyatta National And Mbagathi Hospitals, Kenya
Background: Maintaining medication adherence is vital for the survival of people living with HIV (PLWHA) worldwide(Supriyatni et al., 2023). Despite the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in lowering HIV viral load, the population of individuals receiving Highly Active Antiretroviral Treatment continues to increase (Zuma et al., 2022). This study, conducted in Kenyatta national and Mbagathi hospitals in Kenya examined the
