<![CDATA[So much variation in the meaning of spirituality has contributed to the difficulty in pinpointing how spiritual beliefs and values manifest themselves in the classroom. Thus, this study aimed to bridge the gap by exploring the views of faculty members on spirituality and how it manifests in the classroom using the qualitative phenomenological research tradition. In-depth interview data from twelve (12) educators and their selected students were analyzed using the conventional content analysis approach. The key findings of this study were that spirituality is something deep, personal, and relational. It serves as their guiding principle—a value system that is practical in life. It influences the values that teachers emphasize in class, the choice of materials to be used, topics and issues to be discussed, and the level of care and support they give to the students. While spirituality is covert and implemented in subtle and indirect ways in the classroom, both teachers and students agree that spirituality must not be ignored; rather, it must have a place in academia, serving as a powerful source of motivation for both teachers and students. This is an area that should be further explored in the academic context.]]>

<![CDATA[Classroom misconduct among students continues to be a challenge, particularly for South African teachers. Senior phase learners in South African schools have demonstrated an alarming amount of misconduct in classroom settings, and this tends to affect students' academic performance as it disrupts the process of teaching and learning. In this study, the researchers tried to examine the perceptions of teachers on the causes of classroom misconduct among senior phase learners in South Africa and how it influences their academic performance. The study adopted a qualitative research approach and employed a phenomenological research design. The sample of the study comprised 12 high school teachers purposefully selected to participate in the study. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings revealed that learners' background, attention-seeking, child-headed responsibilities, and teachers’ unpreparedness and inconsistency are among the causes of classroom misconduct among senior phase learners. It was found also that students’ classroom misconduct hinders the teaching and learning process in the classroom, and also interferes with other learners’ learning disrupts the whole process of teaching and learning, and in the long run, affects the academic performance of students. Based on these findings, the study recommended that teachers should give learners full attention at school to reduce distractions in the classroom. The study further recommends that teachers should be professional and serious in handling teaching and learning matters to keep learners busy, this will help to reduce the rate of misconduct among senior phase students.]]>

<![CDATA[To understand the application of Intersectionality theory in conducting qualitative interpretative research on exploring inequalities and discriminatory healthcare practices towards marginalized communities. Method: Narrative Review. Data Sources: Systematic Literature search. Findings: Qualitative research on exploring discriminatory healthcare practices towards marginalized communities requires a research methodology that is practice-oriented and flexible in using theoretical knowledge. The theory of intersectionality exposes how socially constructed identities are intertwined with discriminatory healthcare practices toward marginalized communities. On the other hand, Interpretative Description (ID) is a clinical-based qualitative methodology that aims to identify gaps in healthcare and nursing practices and create evidence-based interventions to address such gaps. Using intersectionality with ID methodology allows researchers to identify discriminatory healthcare practices towards racialized communities and create resources to provide equalized care to marginalized communities. Conclusion: The theory of Intersectionality provides theoretical scaffolding to understand the impact of power, race, and social identities on marginalized populations. Using ID with intersectionality theory will be a novel approach to conducting research on marginalized communities and identifying ways to address the inequalities in nursing and healthcare practices.]]>

<![CDATA[Freelancing has been assumed as a possible remedy for unemployment by the Bangladeshi youth for some time now. This research is conducted to investigate the profession of a freelancer in Bangladesh and focuses on the motivational stages undergone by freelancers and their plans. Moreover, the study attempts to explain to what extent the needs of freelancers are satisfied from the standpoint of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs theory. For this purpose, a qualitative methodology i.e., phenomenology is used. Fifteen respondents working in different parts of the capital city took part in the interview for this study. The study has demonstrated that an overwhelming majority of the respondents acknowledged it as an opportunity at first that gradually helps to develop an entrepreneurial mindset. One striking feature of the findings, however, is that freelancing may be a solution provisionally but not in the long run due to unfulfilled dimensions of the need theory. A few directions for future works are also suggested in this regard.]]>

<![CDATA[Rural students encounter unique obstacles as they pursue higher education. Knowledge of such obstacles can be valuable to stakeholders seeking to prepare, recruit, and retain rural students. This interpretive case study sought to understand postsecondary college pathways from the perspectives of nine participants who attended rural high schools in Appalachia, specifically the Upper Cumberland region of Tennessee, and earned a postsecondary degree. Through analysis of face-to-face interviews, researchers found that family and teachers were significant in rural students’ guidance and academic success, yet most participants noted a lack of support from high school administrators and counselors. Some participants said their schools failed to prepare them for college, and most said they lacked study skills, yet most participants had access to dual credit, and all participants succeeded in college. Participants’ pride in their rural roots led most to return to their hometowns after college. The study demonstrates the need for better college and career counseling from rural students’ school leadership and for more diverse experiences while still in high school to help prepare rural students for college.]]>

<![CDATA[The entrepreneurship intentions of agro-pastoral entrepreneurs and those in training in colleges of agriculture in Cameroon are not well understood. This is due to the paucity of data on their motivations for enrolment in the agricultural entrepreneurship course, their propensity to create agricultural enterprises upon completion of the training, and the difficulties they face in creating their enterprises. A case study of the Regional College of Agriculture, Bambili in the Northwest region of Cameroon was conducted during which, open-ended questionnaires were administered to individuals and focus groups. The data collected were analyzed using the thematic framework. Themes emerged on the various categories of information sought. The study revealed that youths are motivated mainly by perceived opportunities to take agricultural entrepreneurship training. Entrepreneurs have positive intentions to create agricultural enterprises post-training, however, they are constrained by difficult access to land, limited finances, unsupportive laws, and complex bureaucratic procedures for enterprise creation. Government land reforms, the pursuit of the strategy on inclusive financing and the easing of procedures for registration of enterprises will incentivise trained entrepreneurs to create formal agricultural enterprises. Further research in agricultural colleges in other agroecological zones will consolidate the understanding of the intentions of youths who take entrepreneurship training and elicit informed decisions from policymakers.]]>

<![CDATA[Mining companies play a vital role in driving economic growth, reducing unemployment, and creating business opportunities. Additionally, mines facilitate social and cultural interactions between local residents and foreign workers, with many of the latter eventually marrying locals in the vicinity. This study focuses on understanding the factors that influence the adaptation process of foreign workers with local residents in the Morosi District, Konawe Regency. It employs qualitative methods such as ethnographic research, involving direct observation and in-depth interviews. Data analysis is conducted using John W. Bennet's adaptation process theory. The research reveals that the adaptation of marriages between foreign workers and local residents is influenced by marriage agreements, which impact the support from partners and the acceptance of the relationship by families for the long term. If their work contracts in Morosi have ended, the couples agree to settle in Cina.]]>

<![CDATA[This study seeks to ascertain not just the economic repercussions of industrialization on the Mimika tribe in Papua Province, but also how these transformations are altering social and institutional dynamics, notably in terms of traditional leadership. This research was conducted from January 2024 to March 2024 focusing on the Comorian District, especially the Komoro Mimiko Tribe, Papua Province. The data collection techniques used in this study are in-depth interviews with members of the Comoro District, particularly the Comojima tribe, indigenous leaders, industrial workers, and other stakeholders, participatory observation, and holding FGDs with Komoria community groups. The results show that there has been a change in cultural values and traditions stemming from engagement with modern elements. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) prioritizing cultural and ecological diversity advocate for the rights of indigenous communities. Conversely, governmental entities adopt a pragmatic stance, viewing modernization as integral to economic advancement. However, they also acknowledge the significance of preserving cultural sustainability and indigenous rights. To this end, they formulate policies facilitating the harmonization of modernities with traditional practices. The interaction between tradition and modernity sees complexity as well as divergence of views among various stakeholders. In general, these results underscore the difficulties and possibilities associated with striking a balance between modernization and indigenous traditions.]]>

<![CDATA[Copyright infringement on e-commerce platforms is a growing concern, especially with the unauthorized use of individuals' photos for commercial purposes. Eliska's case highlights the negative consequences of uploading product photos without permission, violating the moral and economic rights of the original owners. Indonesia's Copyright Law No. 28 of 2014 imposes serious legal sanctions on such violations, holding individuals and e-commerce platforms like Tokopedia accountable for monitoring and enforcing copyright rules. This research uses normative legal methods to analyze regulations, licensing, and copyright protection related to photography and portraits in e-commerce, focusing on Tokopedia. A descriptive-analytical approach is employed to explain legal regulations concerning copyright in product sales on the platform, with data collected through theoretical literature review, legislative analysis, and online studies. Findings indicate that copyright infringement on e-commerce platforms significantly impacts original owners and the integrity of online commerce. Eliska's case shows how unauthorized photo use can lead to financial loss and reputation damage. Law No. 28 of 2014 provides for criminal sanctions and fines for such violations, while e-commerce platforms must ensure compliance with copyright regulations. Legal certainty and collaboration between copyright owners and platforms are essential for a safe and fair online trading environment.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to explain the communication pattern and relationship between parents and children (human bonding) in a long-distance relationship between parents and children in Medan. Attachment theory is used to explain the dynamics of relationships. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. The research resource persons were six pairs of parents and children and two triangulators: a psychologist and a coordinator of adolescent resilience development National Population and Family Planning Board or Badan Kependudukan dan Keluarga Berencana Nasional (BKKBN) North Sumatra Province. The results showed that human bonding communication in long-distance relationships between parents and children took place with limited communication intensity. Communication is dominated and controlled by parents. There are many restrictions on children, lack of support, limited freedom of expression, imbalances in communication, strict control, and authoritarian attitudes of parents. This leads to a lack of quality of relationship between parents and children. This condition occurs in the communication process that forms monopoly communication patterns (monopoly pattern communication) and unbalanced split communication patterns (unbalanced split pattern communication); the formation of human bonding in long-distance relationships between parents and children is based on emotional relationships. Communication techniques of parents to children tend to be coercive. The child must obey many things. Human bonding in a long-distance relationship creates a relationship that is not harmonious and makes children feel insecure (insecure attachment). ]]>
