Achieving Healthy City Development in Ghana
A growing number of proposals, policies, projects, practices, and methodologies have been undertaken globally to achieve social, economic, and environmental sustainability in urban areas. This is due to the recent appreciation of human capital development, healthy living standards, and the benefits of safeguarding the ecosystem against eminent threats of pollution. The Local Government Act 2016 (Act 936) of Ghana places the District Assemblies (DAs) at the forefront of planning, executing, and managing policies concerning the districts (i.e., cities, and towns).

Resilience in Mild Cognitive Impairment
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is characterized as a syndrome in which the individual exhibits a discreet cognitive decline on neuropsychological tests compared to people of the same age and educational level, but this impairment does not have a notable impact on everyday functioning. People with advanced mild cognitive impairment (MCI) would perceive increased negative psychological outcomes, poorer psychological resilience, and lower levels of subjective wellbeing in contrast to early MCI and healthy participants.

Computerized Memory Assisting Technologies
According to the World Health Organization, people suffering from dementia exhibit a serious decline in various cognitive domains and especially in memory. Two options are available for dementia treatment: pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Cognitive training is an intervention method that employs structured (usually repetitive) exercises aimed at improving or maintaining mental function. Advances in technology have led to the emergence of computerized cognitive training (CCT).

Open-Source Diffusion Using Government–Platform–User Evolutionary Game
Technological innovations, including the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning, have facilitated the emergence of autonomous systems, promoting triple bottom line (TBL) sustainability. However, the prevalent triopoly of Android, iOS, and Windows introduces substantial obstacles for smart device manufacturers in pursuit of independent innovation. Utilizing evolutionary game theory, the interplay among governments, platforms, and users in championing open-source diffusion can be scrutinized.

Understanding Spatial Autocorrelation
An enumeration of spatial autocorrelation’s (SA’s) polyvalent forms occurred nearly three decades ago. Attempts to conceive and disseminate a clearer explanation of it employ metaphors seeking to better relate SA to a student’s or spatial scientist’s personal knowledge databank.

Learning Styles and English Classroom Anxiety
As an important affective and psychological factor, foreign language anxiety (FLA) has been much examined in second/foreign language (SL/FL) learning. Research shows that it is not only consistently negatively related to SL/FL learning outcomes measured in varying forms but also interacts with many other linguistic, educational, psychological, individual and affective factors. Mixed findings are often found about FLA and two important individual factors—gender and discipline, which might be due to different samples sizes and methods used in the studies.

Fine Motor Skill Development in Young Children
Fine motor skills (FMS) are fundamental for children’s growth, influencing their writing progress and everyday activities. Children's FMS are also assessed in their school readiness assessment, DIFER (Diagnostic System for Assessing Development) which is a widely used and standardized school readiness test in Hungary and some European countries. However, the development of these skills is a multifaceted process that is affected by various factors. Consequently, it becomes essential to comprehend the disparities in children’s fine motor skills (FMS) development and the predictive factors.

People hold music in high regard and acknowledge the necessity of providing their children with a solid musical education. Musical education hinges on students’ mastery motivation and self-concept, which are crucial for effective musical learning. Therefore, it is crucial to consider the role of children’s mastery motivation (MM) and self-concept (SC) to provide children with a solid musical foundation.
