Abstract

The demand for power in Ghana is increasing at a pace of 10% each year. To shift away from traditional energy-intensive economic development and its negative environmental impact, the government has begun to heavily promote the development of solar photovoltaic technology. This study explored the challenges and potential of solar energy entrepreneurship as well as the capacity of solar energy enterprises in the production and supply of solar energy, and the methodologies for implementing solar energy businesses in Ghana's Accra Metropolis. The research took a qualitative approach and used an exploratory design. The data were analysed thematically with the aid of NVivo version 11.0. In comparison to predicted market demands, solar energy firms did not have the resources to produce and supply solar energy. In addition, to promote their operations in Ghana, solar energy companies have used techniques such as discounts, installment payments, and price reductions for goods and services. Furthermore, high-interest rates, inadequate incentives, insufficient access to finance, and a lack of technical know-how for the operation and maintenance of solar energy technology were all obstacles to investment in solar energy generation. Notwithstanding the difficulties associated with its operations, the prospects for solar energy production in Ghana remain bright. The study recommended that the Ministry of Energy, in collaboration with renewable energy technology companies, educate the public about the benefits of solar energy technologies; the Ministry of Energy, in partnership with the government, ensure that the promise made in the energy policy of a 50% tax reduction on all imports of electrical goods is achieved. Moreover, financial institutions should make it easier for energy-producing firms to obtain credit.

Abstract

Entrepreneurship becomes an integral program for planning the progress of a country. The development of this program then becomes the responsibility of all parties, educational institutions, the government and the public. Educational institutions today, almost in all disciplines, seem to consider entrepreneurship as one of the learning programs. Vocational high school is one of the formal educational institutions designed to develop this program for its students. Various entrepreneurial models are tried to be developed to encourage further students' interest in developing entrepreneurship programs. Therefore, this study examines the partnership model in entrepreneurship development at Muhammadiyah vocational schools in Palembang, Indonesia. The study sample was 258 students from all Muhammadiyah vocational schools. The required data is primary, with a questionnaire as a data collection tool. The analyses used were factor analysis and regression. The results of the factor analysis extracted from all the indicators used gave rise to three variables that influence the decisions of entrepreneurial students, namely motivation, learning and perception. As for regression testing, only motivation and knowledge significantly affect entrepreneurial decisions, while perception has a significant effect.

Abstract

This paper discusses the trend of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and its role in the healthcare industry. AI is being used to improve efficiency and effectiveness in healthcare. Still, challenges remain, such as privacy and data protection and healthcare workers' hesitancy to replace their work with technology. This study aims to see opportunities for using AI in the health sector and understand existing problems, such as barriers to significant initial investments. This study uses a qualitative approach and focuses on the author's understanding based on secondary sources and personal experience. The study results show that AI can assist health workers in making diagnoses and providing more efficient health services. However, it still has to be used as a tool and cannot replace the role of health workers as a whole.
