This study investigated predictors of quality of work life among nurses in Ipokia Local Government Area in Ogun State, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted to collect data using the Quality of Life Scale, Work-Family Conflict Scale, and Job Stress Scale. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 182 nurses (Females: 123; Males: 59). Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis, t-test of independent mean, and one-way analysis of variance. Three hypotheses were generated and tested at a 0.001 level of significance. The result revealed that work-family conflict and job stress jointly predicted the quality of work-life among nurses [R2 = 286, F (2,181) = 37.648, p = .002). Also, job stress independently predicted the quality of work-life among nurses (Î² = .543, p = .001). However, work-family conflict did not independently predict the quality of work-life among nurses (Î² =-.001, p >.05). It was concluded that work-family conflict was a significant factor when combined with job stress but not an independent predictor of quality of work-life among nurses. Therefore, the Chief Medical Director and Human Resource Department of hospitals should monitor the stress levels of their nurses to ensure continuous productivity and avoid unnecessary breakdown of nurses at Work and home.

Third-year students at Vocational High School must meet many academic demands towards the end of their study period. These include fieldwork practices, report writing, attending sessions, taking tests, and preparing for exams and higher education. Such demands can affect their emotions and resilience, leading to a study being conducted to assess the impact of achievement emotions on their resilience. The research method employed in this study was quantitative, using a simple linear regression analysis technique. The research sample consisted of 183 third-grade students from SMK Muhammadiyah in Bandung, selected using a cluster random sampling technique. The study utilized two measuring tools: the achievement emotions scale and the resilience scale. The data collection method was a questionnaire, which was conducted both online and offline (paper-based). The results indicated that positive and negative emotions simultaneously influence the resilience of grade 3 vocational school students. Positive emotions play a significant positive role in increasing resilience, while negative emotions can reduce it. Educators and parents can focus on nurturing positive emotions in their students to create a positive learning environment. Cognitive restructuring may be the intervention strategy to change students' appraisal of learning situations so that they evoke enjoyment and relief and then eliminate boredom, making students more resilient.

Indonesia is a country rich in ethnic and cultural diversity, one of which is the Batak Toba culture. Batak Toba culture places great importance on the philosophy of Dalihan Na Tolu, a traditional framework that emphasizes social harmony and respect. This study explores the relationship between Schwartzâ€™s fundamental human values and the philosophy of Dalihan Na Tolu in Batak Toba culture. The research respondents comprised 143 Batak Toba individuals aged between 16 and 29 years, 44 men and 99 women. The instrument used was the Portrait Values Questionnaire(PVQ-40), adapted to the Indonesian context. The research found that the highest value among Batak Toba people is universalism, with self-transcendence being the dominant value orientation. These fundamental values of universalism and self-transcendence are strongly reflected in the Dalihan Na Tolu philosophy, which emphasizes the importance of maintaining harmony and balance between humans and nature.

Spirituality is one aspect of transpersonal psychology that cannot be separated. Spirituality involves a search for the transcendent. The experience of spirituality can be felt by all individuals, including by LGBT people who are considered by society to be against religious norms. The meaning of God felt by LGBT people is undoubtedly different. This study aims to describe the spirituality experienced by LGBT people. The literature review was conducted on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender subjects. The results of the literature review found that LGBT individuals have an understanding of religious values that affect their experience of spirituality. The way they get closer to God is not only by praying, worshiping, and visiting synagogues but also by implementing humanitarian values for others. This study shows how LGBT people experience spirituality.

The token economy is a behavior modification technique that can be used to increase desired behavior or reduce undesirable behavior in individuals, including children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This research aims to determine the effectiveness of implementing a token economy to increase learning concentration in children with ASD. The method used in this research is quasi-experimental with a single-case experimental design described in the ABAB model. The subject in this study was a child with ASD who had problems with the ability to concentrate during learning. The instrument used in this research is a behavior checklist sheet for aspects of learning concentration adapted to the characteristics of children with ASD subjects. This research uses data presentation and data analysis techniques in the form of descriptive graphs, which show that applying the token economy is practical in increasing the learning concentration of children with ASD. The token economy is proven by increased learning concentration scores during the research phase, which consists of four measurement aspects: the focus defense aspect, the task completion aspect, the perseverance aspect, and the regularity aspect.

The most crucial relationships for students' social and emotional development and wellbeing are those between parents and pupils. While there is a wealth of research on programs to enhance parent-child connections, few are designed for use by educators in early education and care settings. This study aims to describe teachers' comprehension of the parent-child relationship concerning social and emotional development, the teacher's role in fostering the parent-child relationship, and the forms of teacher support in the parent-child relationship. This research method is a qualitative descriptive study with a phenomenological design involving six school principals and twenty teachers at the elementary education level as research subjects. The results showed that early education teachers were reluctant to contact parents, although acknowledging the importance of parent-child interactions. Teachers tended to be unwilling to impart their knowledge to parents since it was primarily implicit and derived from observations and real-world experiences. Teachers want theoretical, supported evidence methods to deepen their understanding and enhance everyday activities that strengthen parent-child interactions. The results are crucial for creating a parent-child connection program led by educators for implementation in educational and childcare facilities. A comprehension of educators' regular practices, their function in promoting parent-child connections, and children's social and emotional development should be explored to guide the creation of an educator program. These results are crucial for creating a parent-child connection program developed by educators for use in educational and childcare settings.
