Soil Fertility Recovery and Heavy Metal Stabilization in a Five -Year Agroforestry System on Reclaimed Gold Mine Tailings in Ghana
Generally, mine tailings are known for their poor soil structure, low soil fertility, and elevated levels of heavy metal concentration, making it a difficult challenge for reclamation after the mining activity, especially in tropical regions. The current study assessed the effectiveness of a five-year-old agroforestry system in enhancing the soil chemical properties of a reclaimed mine tailings storage facility (TSF3) located at Gold Field Ghana …
Together or separate? Tracing classroom pedagogies of (un)belonging for newcomer migrant pupils in two Austrian schools
Even though receiving newcomer pupils in schools is not a new phenomenon, many education systems grapple with finding adequate schooling arrangements that foster belonging and inclusion. Over the years, policy-makers and school practitioners seem to echo recurring dilemmas in terms of what language support models may promote optimal inclusion, and whether and how to support the language of schooling while also building on students’ cultural and l…
Psychosocial strain and coping of Finnish working mothers during the Covid-19 lockdown: A job demand-control approach
Introduction In March 2020 many countries around the world, including Finland, implemented lockdown measures to mitigate the unprecedented impacts of the coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19) on public health. As a result, school and daycare settings closed indefinitely and working from home became the new normal for a big part of the workforce, which came with increased homeschooling and childcare responsibility for mothers.

Educators’ perspectives related to preparatory education and integration training for immigrants in Finland
This study explored educators' perceptions of preparatory education and integration training for immigrants in Finland. It included twelve semi-structured interviews of teachers working with adult or child immigrants. A thematic analysis identified: 1. Variances in students' knowledge, skill, and experience complicate integration; 2. Flexibility, the ability to alter classwork to suit students' needs, and the lack of preparatory support or releva…
Plant species diversity, abundance and conservation status of the Ankasa Resource Reserve, Ghana
Knowledge of the floristic composition, structure and conservation status of tropical forests is essential for their sustainable management and conservation, although this remains poorly documented in some tropical countries. Here, we investigated the plant species diversity, distribution and conservation status of the Ankasa Resource Reserve, Ghana, to inform management and conservation efforts. A total of 150 plots (20 m × 20 m each) were demar…
Sustainable ecotourism development and visitor satisfaction: The case of Bomfobiri Wildlife Sanctuary, Kumawu, Ghana
The potential for sustainable ecotourism development in Bomfobiri Wildlife Sanctuary (BWS) addresses conservation needs, visitor satisfaction, and community benefits. The study assessed the tourist and exploitation values of the sanctuary using the Pralong model. The study purposively interviewed five key informants, and field studies were conducted to determine tourist and exploitation values of seven key attraction sites. Semi-structured questi…
Concerns and benefits of park-adjacent communities in Northern Ghana: The case of Mole National Park
Protected areas are increasingly becoming islands of habitat surrounded by seas of cultivation and development. Communities experience both costs and benefits associated with nearby PAs, and perception of these influence support for PAs and subsequent conservation related behaviors. This paper explores the concerns and benefits of 10 adjacent communities surrounding Mole National Park in Ghana using key informants, focus groups and household surv…
Suicide attempts and behavioral correlates among a nationally representative sample of school-attending adolescents in the Republic of Malawi
These findings have the potential to guide public health interventions geared toward suicide prevention in Africa and other, similar regions, as well as provide the impetus for future epidemiologic studies on suicidal behavior in low-income countries
Adolescent Physical Fighting in Ghana, Their Demographic and Social Characteristics
Physical fighting is an important behavioral concern of public health importance among adolescents worldwide. The present study examines the patterns and correlates of physical fighting among a school-based population in a low-income country setting. Data on 6235 adolescents aged 11-16 years were derived from the Republic of Ghana contributions to the Global School-based Health Survey. Three thresholds of participation in a physical fight during …
