Female Varieties of Ghanaian Youth Language

Youth language scholarship has often centred on male-dominated, mixed-gender urban contexts, reinforcing the assumption that males drive linguistic innovation. This study challenges that narrative by examining the creativity, social functions, and gendered dynamics of youth langu...

Asset accumulation and financial investments as anchors for food security in cocoa farming communities

Purpose This study aims to investigate the effects of asset accumulation and financial investments on food security, and the relationships among them. Design/methodology/approach The study used household dietary diversity score to measure food security. The authors obtained data...

A Two-Sex Mathematical Model of Sterile-Male Releases for the Suppression of Anopheles Mosquito Populations

This study develops a deterministic two-sex compartmental model to investigate the population-level effects of continuous sterile-male releases on Anopheles mosquitoes. The model distinguishes aquatic stages, unmated females, fertile-mated females, sterile-mated females, wild mal...

A new seismic source model for seismic hazard assessment in southeastern Ghana

The study presents a revised seismic source model for southeastern Ghana through the integration of geological, tectonic and seismological datasets spanning the period 1615 – 2021. Historical earthquake records obtained from the Ghana Seismological Department and previous catalog...

Groundwater recharge potential and vulnerability to contamination in the Sunyani West Municipality, Ghana

Abstract Groundwater resources in crystalline basement settings are increasingly exposed to abstraction and contamination pressures, posing challenges for sustainable groundwater management in data-scarce regions. Despite their importance, integrated assessments of groundwater re...

The bricolage of formalisation: Organisational order under institutional multiplicity in artisanal and small-scale mining

Formalisation is often understood as the rational codification of activity and the extension of bureaucratic order into informal domains. This paper challenges that assumption by advancing a new conceptualisation of formalisation as institutional bricolage, a recursive process th...

Decadal Shifts in Zooplankton Size Structure and Biomass in a Warming Tropical Lake

Climate warming can alter lake zooplankton through changes in thermal structure, oxygen availability, nutrient cycling, and phytoplankton dynamics, but decadal evidence from African lakes remains scarce. We compared zooplankton size structure and biomass in Lake Bosumtwi, Ghana,...

Evaluation and comparison of infiltration models under different soil textures in the Mamprusi west district of North East Region, Ghana

Assessment of soil water infiltration through reliable estimation of the infiltration rate is key to informed decision-making for sustainable ecosystem management. This study was conducted to evaluate the performances of the Kostiakov, Modified Kostiakov, Horton, Swartzendruber,...
