This paper examined and compared the resource allocation mechanisms in two multi-campus universities (MCUs) in Ghana. They are University for Development Studies (UDS) and Presbyterian University College, Ghana (PUCG), now known as Presbyterian University, Ghana (PUG). The main objective of the study was to investigate the perceived inequalities in the allocation of resources among the various campuses of the two Universities. The qualitative method, comparative case study approach and in-depth interview techniques were used to conduct the research. In all, eight senior management members (Pro Vice-Chancellors; Registrars; and Campus Heads) of the two Universities were purposively selected and interviewed. The findings revealed that these Universities do not have an established formula for the allocation of infrastructural and human resources for their respective campuses. It was also found that they use some percentages/ratios-based formula for the allocation of funds to the campuses. The paper recommends that physical infrastructure and human resources should be allocated based on deficits identified thorough need assessments. Secondly, to ensure a fair allocation of funds to the various campuses of the two universities, the deployment of a standardised mathematical formula is recommended.

D) in the Deccan region of India. It also examines how the library has gone from being a private collection to a public library to a special library accessible to the public, been a gift to the society it serves and continues into the 21st century.

Todays Postmodern world finds itself in a crisis of how to address its diversity as we move forward in our fight for gender and racial equality. Alice Walker is an African American writer whose fiction is very illuminating in terms of embracing the differences within each and every one of us. Her characters represent an invitation for people to look outside of the realm of their familiar, to experiment with the unfamiliar and to absorb and cherish the differences in us by immersing in processes of becoming and growth. Walkers transgressive characters project a variety of experiences that speak against the homogenizing nature of essentialism. They embody the postmodern philosophy of becoming, multiplicity, fluidity and creativity which I intend to unravel through a pluralistic analysis that aims to overcome the dangers of fixed identities by relying on Process philosophy and Deleuzian ontology of difference.

Some MSMEs still use traditional accounting records.

In several traditional villages, there are still traditional houses that are used by the community as residences. In the past, there were no room dividers in traditional houses; now, residents apply the privacy of each room so that room dividers are added to traditional houses, and there are additional rooms as the need for activities also increases. These changes in activities and use of space have also caused changes in the anthropometry of traditional houses, which are being reused as residences today. So, this research aims to determine whether the spatial pattern transformation in the Sitolumbea Traditional House meets the space standards for simple residences in Indonesia. This research was carried out by directly observing 1 Original Traditional House and 2 Sitolumbea Traditional Houses, which have been transformed to determine changes in anthropometry and the size of the space used. Then, it is compared with the standard size of residential space in Indonesia. Based on the results of the research conducted, the dimensions of the bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room do not meet the standard size of residential houses in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the living room and kitchen require wider dimensions.

This article proposes a theoretical analysis of the dimensions of access to healthcare, in order to highlight the different aspects that need to be taken into account for the purpose of revitalizing the healthcare system and improving access to healthcare. The different dimensions analyzed were service availability, financial affordability and acceptability. Each of these dimensions was clearly defined, and their analysis enabled a better understanding of the theoretical factors essential to achieving access to care in each category. On the one hand, this approach enabled us to recognize that access to care is determined by the characteristics of both demand and supply in each of the dimensions. Moreover, it brought to light two lesser-known but essential dimensions of access to healthcare, namely the availability of services and the acceptability of care.

Caring for a sick relative is not without challenges. Family members who leave their homes to care for a sick relative in an unfamiliar hospital environment encounter more challenges than those who provide care in their familiar home environment. This hospital ethnography was carried out in one of the secondary hospitals in Ghana. Thirty-two caregivers were sampled using the purposive sampling technique. Data was collected through the semi structured interview guide. Using the qualitative exploratory case study, the study revealed that the challenges facing family caregivers are multidimensional. These challenges are classified into three major groups: institutional, environmental, and financial. In response to these challenges, caregivers developed different strategies such as denying themselves some pleasures of life, developing faith in God through prayers and giving the identification card given them by the hospital authority to other relatives who are not recognised by the health professionals as caregivers.

Mankind no longer merely has its advanced muscular or military capabilities, not even nuclear weapons, but has developed an advanced generation of highly destructive electronic machines to replace the human element in the management of bloody wars. But where will destructive technology take humanitys future? Will the fate of the state be controlled by robots after their brains are developed beyond human intelligence? Will humans be able to control the next technological challenge or that robots will control the fate of nations and peoples? According to above questions, the hypothesis of the increased control of military technology of combat robots over the course of future wars has been formulated, resulting in the loss of human decisionmakers control over the course of political life.
