This paper investigates the efficacy of foreign direct investment (FDI) and governance quality in reducing the adverse impact of CO emissions in Ghana. To achieve this aim, panel data for the independent and control variables spanning from 2000 to 2022 were obtained from World Development Indicators database and World Governance Indicators. The data was analysed using the Fixed Generalised Least Squares (FGLS) and the Method of Moment Quantile Regression (MMQR) methods. The findings of the study reveal that FDI aids in lowering the level of CO emissions in Ghana and therefore can be achieved through political stability, voice and accountability, controlled corruption, and enforcement of rule of law. It further reveals that the level of governance effectiveness and regulation quality is low in attracting FDI to aid in lowering CO emissions in Ghana. This study suggests that policymakers in Ghana should strengthen the system and structure governing the environmental management process and improve the quality of environmental policies to encourage environmentally friendly FDI flows.

Towards responsible resource utilization: A review of sustainable vs. unsustainable reuse of wood waste.
PLoS One

Department of Sociology and Social Work, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana.
Abundant wood waste is generated globally, but the literature lacks a framework distinguishing sustainable versus unsustainable reuse practices. This gap hinders policy makers and stakeholders from effectively supporting responsible resource utilization. As such, this scoping review aimed to address this gap by evaluating wood waste reuse practices through ecological, financial, and social sustainability lenses.

Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, University for Development Studies (UDS), Tamale, Ghana.
One of the main causes of air pollution, particularly in large cities, is vehicles due to it continued use of hydrocarbon fuels. The understanding of nonlinear interactions of vehicle parameters uncovers more realistic relationships for enhancing formulation of strategies to address vehicle-related pollution. Thus, the study aims to evaluate the interaction and quadratic effect of vehicle parameters on Hydrocarbon (HC), Carbon dioxide (CO2), Carbon monoxide (CO), and Nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.

Department of Neurosurgery, Xiamen Branch of West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Xiamen, P.R. China.
Rationale: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) originate from neuroendocrine cells and they are depicted with both nerve cells as well as hormone-producing cells. These tumors were initially discovered in extracranial locations and central nervous system involvement is often a result of metastasis. Herein, we present a very rare case of primary intracranial neuroendocrine tumor (PINET) that masqueraded as meningioma at the sphenoid ridge with metastasis to the spinal cord in a patient without a known history of extracranial NET at the time of diagnosis.

Exploring System Context Contributing to Emerging REDD+ Collaborative Governance Regime in Ghana: Stakeholders Perceptions at the National Level.

Department of Political Science, Umeå University, Umeå, Sweden.
Since its emergence in 2007, the global mechanism for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation in developing countries (REDD+) has raised hopes of providing cost-effective solutions to climate change. However, the design and implementation of REDD+ projects in many developing countries, including Ghana, have faced complex governance challenges. In recent years, a collaborative governance approach has been increasingly recommended for effective REDD+ implementation, but the impact of the dynamics of developing countries' context on collaboration success remains unclear.
