A serial parallel mediation analysis of pathways to green entrepreneurial intention via educational interventions, teaching methods and personality traits
The complex interplay linking educational interventions with personality development in fostering green entrepreneurial intention (GEI) remains insufficiently explored within African higher education contexts. In addressing this gap, we examine the mediation effect of teaching methods (TM) and personality traits (PT) in the relationship among entrepreneurship curriculum (EC), university entrepreneurship support (UES), and students’ GEI in Ghana’s…

Extending the psychometric properties of the Arabic RCMAS in Jordanian children aged 7–16
There are diverse gender and age-based differences in levels of anxiety between boys and girls. Establishing the validity of such assessments entails inquiry on the construct validity and measurement invariance of tools. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the Revised Children’s Manifest Anxiety Scale (RCMAS) to assess its suitability for measuring child anxiety and its equivalence across genders and ages. Met…
Bridging the Gender Gap in Ghanaian Local Governance
This qualitative study examines factors facilitating women’s election to District Assemblies in Ghana through social capital and supply–demand theoretical frameworks. Through interviews with thirteen female Assembly members and four officials, the research identifies four critical enablers: financial resources, political affiliations, community relationships, and educational qualifications. Financial resources emerged as crucial for campaign mana…
The Influence of Social Presence on Customer Loyalty in Emerging Market Retail Industry
Whilst extensive scholarly works on social presence, trust, and customer loyalty exist, no research specifically focuses on measuring the relational effect of social presence and trust on customer loyalty in both online and store-based retail environments. This study proposes and tests a model to demonstrate the mediation role of trust in the nexus between the dimensions of social presence (web, others, and interaction) and customer loyalty. Data…
Towards sustainable resource management
Graph modelling reveals the dynamics of Ghana's oil and gas local content ecosystem. • Institutional characteristics play a central role in driving local content development. • Economic growth shows a negative effect on local content drive, suggesting a trade-off. • Participation and technology transfer do not show significant effects on local content drive in Ghana's oil and gas sector. • Strategic local content initiatives can leverage resource…
Unrecognized hypertension among a general adult Ghanaian population
Hypertension (HTN) is the leading cause of cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, most individuals in developing countries are unaware of their blood pressure status. We determined the prevalence of unrecognized hypertension and its association with lifestyle factors and new obesity indices among the adult population. This community-based study was conducted among 1288 apparently healthy adults aged 18–80 years in the Ablekuma North Municipality,…
Perceived Nexus Between Non-Invigilated Summative Assessment and Mental Health Difficulties
The COVID-19 pandemic rapidly led to changes in the mode of teaching, learning and assessments in most tertiary institutions worldwide. Notably, non-invigilated summative assessments became predominant. These changes heightened anxiety and depression, especially among individuals with less resilient coping mechanism. We explored the perceptions and experiences of mental health difficulties of students in tertiary education regarding non-invigilat…
Impact of you only live once
PURPOSE: Interventions focused on promoting resilience or protective factors of youth have been proposed as a strategy for reducing risky behaviours associated with HIV infection among youth; however few studies have explored their effectiveness. This study assessed the impact of a resilience-based HIV prevention intervention (You Only Live Once) on risky sexual behaviours, resilience and protective factors of youth. METHODS: A one-group pretest-…
Nexus between constructs of social cognitive theory model and diabetes self-management among Ghanaian diabetic patients
The promotion of Diabetes Self-Management (DSM) practices, education, and support is vital to improving the care and wellbeing of diabetic patients. Identifying factors that affect DSM behaviours may be useful to promote healthy living among these patients. The study assessed the determinants of DSM practices among Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients using a model-based social cognitive theory (SCT). This cross-sectional study comprised 420 …
The psychosocial impact of rare diseases among children and adolescents attending mainstream schools in Western Australia
Living with a long-term medical condition is associated with heightened risk for mental health and psychosocial difficulties, but further research is required on this risk for children and adolescents with a rare disease in the educational setting. The aim of this study is to describe parents’ perceptions of the psychosocial impact of rare diseases on their school-aged children in Western Australia. A cross-sectional survey of 41 parents of schoo…
