Treatment teams providing transgender-affirming medical care are inherently faced with various kinds of moral and ethical dilemmas and questions, which are becoming even more pressing due to increasing treatment numbers and public attention for transgender care. Little is known about what kinds of moral and ethical challenges manifest in clinical practice. The aim of the present research was to map the moral and ethical challenges of healthcare professionals working in a specialized multidisciplinary transgender care center. Over a period of 7 months, during a focused ethnographic study, data were collected through participant observation of multidisciplinary team meetings, observation of individual psychodiagnostic assessment sessions with clients, and analysis of transcripts and reports of a series of moral case deliberations. A thematic content analysis of the data identified various implicit and explicit moral and ethical challenges around the following six themes: (1) assessing eligibility; (2) content of treatment; (3) sequential order of the treatment steps; (4) role of the clinical guidelines; (5) differing notions regarding gender identity, and (6) decision-making process. Our research provides a detailed insight into the way healthcare professionals experience these moral and ethical challenges and how they are related to (local) guidelines, the multidisciplinary character of GD care, and its inherent implicit and explicit gender norms. Our findings suggest that good transgender care may profit from continuous multidisciplinary deliberation of and sensitivity toward the normative dimension of transgender care. The paper ends with recommendations for ethics support mechanisms in transgender care.

The quantitative data was obtained from the responses of as sample of the first-grade students that enrolled in a Christian education subject in SMAN 3 Tarutung. Questionnaires were given to them to respond to in order to assess the students' creativity based on the Guilford Theory of Creativity. The collected data was analyzed quantitatively from the students' answers by using the percentage of how many responses there were (fluency), how many types of responses there were (flexibility), the unusualness of the responses (originality), and the detail of the responses (elaboration). The Guilford theory system was used to quantify the relative level of students' creativity, and then to arrive at the conclusion of this study, the collected data was analyzed quantitatively. The result showed a significant difference in students' creativity in understanding Christian education relating to "Love, Sex, and Dating" after using podcasts to convey the material along with two informants who were experts in Christian education.

The digital era brings challenges in children's moral education, especially in instilling ethical and moral values in accordance with Islamic teachings. This study aims to analyse the application of children's moral education based on Q.S. Al-Isra: 23-24 in facing the challenges of the digital era. The research method used is qualitative with an interview approach to parents, educators, and scholars. The results showed that the main challenge in children's moral education in the digital era is the influence of technology that can reduce social interaction and politeness values. The strategies implemented include parental role modelling, limiting and monitoring the use of technology, as well as strengthening communication and prayer. The findings confirm that moral education based on Islamic values needs to be strengthened through synergy between family, school and the digital environment so that children continue to have good character. This research provides recommendations to optimise the use of technology as an educational tool that supports children's moral education in the modern era. Therefore, policies and educational programmes are needed for parents and educators to guide children in the wise use of technology and instil strong moral values in accordance with Islamic teachings. Thus, moral education for children based on Q.S. Al-Isra: 23-24 in the digital era not only plays a role in shaping noble individuals but also becomes a long-term investment in creating a better generation that adheres to Islamic values in modern life.

The rapid development of digitalization has profoundly influenced students' spiritual lives, often shifting their patterns of worship, meaning-making, and social interaction. This study aims to explore the role of Christian education and worship learning in shaping student spirituality within the context of the digital era. Using a qualitative descriptive approach through library research, this study analyzes scientific books, theological journals, educational articles, and relevant research reports published in the last 15 years. The findings indicate that contextual, reflective, and experiential Christian education significantly contributes to holistic spiritual formation. Worship learning, when designed meaningfully, serves as a powerful medium to deepen faith experiences and initiate authentic spiritual transformation. In the digital era, students require digital spiritual literacy to ethically navigate information and use technology in ways aligned with their faith. The role of lecturers as spiritual mentors and the presence of an adaptive, value-based curriculum are critical in supporting students' spiritual development. The study concludes that Christian education remains highly relevant and increasingly urgent in an age where spiritual values are often marginalized. The implications of this research highlight the need to develop a Christian education curriculum that integrates faith and technology in critical and creative ways. Future research is encouraged to empirically examine the implementation of digital spiritual pedagogy and its long-term impact on student character and mission. This study contributes conceptually to the advancement of Christian education in higher education and offers a framework for developing resilient, reflective, and Christ-centered students in the digital age.
