An Investigation into the Prospective EFL Teachers Conceptions Regarding Teaching and Learning and Metaphorical Conceptualizations for Teacher Roles

This study’s goal was to scrutinize the relationship between prospective English language teachers’ conceptions concerning teaching and learning process and metaphorical perceptions regarding their roles as language teachers. A correlational survey model was adapted in the study. The participants of the study involve 120 prospective EFL teachers at a foundation university in the 2021-2022 academic year. Data were gathered by administering the ‘Teaching and Learning Conceptions” and “Teacher Metaphor’ scales. As for the analysis the data, a series of statistical analysis through SPSS was done. At first, descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were presented and then multiple regression analysis were done. The findings showed that, prospective EFL teachers mostly prefer a constructivist approach and define their role as “guide” and “goal-oriented” teachers, while teachers who follow a traditional approach were seen as “disciplinarian-protective” teachers.

Building lecturer resilience through Islamic workplace spirituality: addressing the impact of toxic work environments and financial anxiety on turnover intentions

Purpose This study aims to investigate the high turnover intention (TI) among university lecturers in Indonesia, driven by toxic work environments, work overload and narcissistic leadership. It also examines the mediating role of work stress (WS) and how financial anxiety and Islamic workplace spirituality (IWS) moderate these effects. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative approach was used with a structured questionnaire adapted to the Indonesian context. Data were collected from 384 lecturers across various universities. Hypotheses were tested using multiple regression analysis, including mediation and moderation models. Findings Toxic work environment, work overload and narcissistic leadership significantly increase WS, which in turn raises TI. Financial anxiety strengthens the impact of these three factors on WS, highlighting its exacerbating role. Conversely, IWS reduces the negative impact of WS on TI, acting as a mitigating factor. In addition, WS significantly mediates the relationship between the three stressors and TI. Research limitations/implications Universities should create a healthy work climate, manage workload, control narcissistic leadership behavior and foster Islamic spiritual values to reduce turnover. Social implications By addressing workplace toxicity, financial stress and leadership issues through spiritual inclusivity, this study supports lecturer well-being and promotes social sustainability in higher education institutions. Originality/value This study offers a novel contribution by integrating financial anxiety and IWS as moderators in the TI framework. It enhances understanding of how financial and spiritual dimensions influence employee retention in Indonesian higher education.

Factors Associated With Social Participation Among Young and Middle-Aged Patients After Cardiac Surgery: A Cross-Sectional Study.

This study aimed to investigate the level of social participation among young and middle-aged patients after cardiac surgery and its influencing factors by using a cross-sectional design. Participants were recruited from the Department of Cardiac Surgery of Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital through convenience sampling, and 237 young and middle-aged patients after cardiac surgery completed the Questionnaire on Participation and Autonomy (IPA). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple stepwise linear regression analysis. A total of 237 participants, with a mean (SD) age was 47.2 (9.2). The total score (SD) of social participation among young and middle-aged patients after cardiac surgery was 52.0 (6.7), indicating a moderately low level of social participation. The results of multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that gender, age, number of comorbidities, social support, self-efficacy, kinesiophobia, and pain were the influencing factors of social participation (p < 0.05), which variables accounted for approximately 59.6% of the variance in the social participation. The social participation among young and middle-aged patients after cardiac surgery needs to be improved. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study has been approved by the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry. (registration number: ChiCTR2400083390).

Effect of Emotional Intelligence on Personal and Professional Success: A Quantitative Study.

Emotional intelligence (EI) is essential in health care for enhancing communication, teamwork, and patient outcomes. Person-centered care (PCC) plays a vital role in improving health care quality and patient satisfaction. This study examines the relationship between EI and PCC among Jordanian nurses. A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted with 300 nursing professionals from various health care settings in Jordan. Data were collected with the Person-Centered Care Assessment Tool and the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale. Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis were employed to assess the association between EI and PCC. A significant positive correlation was found between EI and PCC (r = 0.62, p < .001), and EI emerged as a strong predictor of PCC, explaining 41% of the variance in PCC scores, independent of demographic variables. The study found that EI plays a pivotal role in enhancing PCC. Integrating EI training into nursing education and professional development can improve culturally sensitive care, nurse-patient relationships, and teamwork in health care settings.

Disengaged in the Digital Age: Unraveling the Influence of Boredom Proneness and FoMO on Phubbing Behavior

The increased usage of digital technology, especially smartphones has resulted in emerging behaviors such as phubbing- the preference of using phones rather than face to face interaction and psychological experience such as boredom proneness and fear of missing out (FoMO). The factors are related to aversive consequences for emotional well-being and social relationships. This study aimed at investigating the relationships existing among boredom proneness, FoMO, and phubbing behavior among university students and whether gender moderates their relationship or not. The sample taken in the study was purposive and consisted of 150 university students (75 males and 75 females) with the age range between 18 and 34. Participants responded to self-report measures, such as the Short Boredom Proneness Scale (SBPS), the Fear of Missing Out Scale (FoMO-S), and the Generic Scale of Phubbing (GSP). Descriptive statistics, t-tests, Pearson correlations, multiple regression analyses were applied. Results showed a significant positive relationship between boredom proneness and FoMO and phubbing. Both the boredom proneness and the FoMO were significant predictors of the phubbing behavior. In addition, there was more phubbing behavior reported by the females, as compared to the males and the relationships between the psychological factors and phubbing were stronger among females. These results indicate that it may be helpful to counter boredom and FoMO to minimize phubbing behavior and enhance healthier face-to-face interaction in social life.

Social capital, structural capital, human capital, spiritual capital, and cooperative performance: A path model

Cooperatives were created to foster productivity, food security, and safety. However, the literature revealed a significant number of non-operating cooperatives. It can also be noted that cooperatives have weaknesses in terms of sustainability and are unable to account for the role of intangible resources in the organization. Thus, this study investigated the effect of social capital, human capital, structural capital, and spiritual capital on cooperative performance as the basis for the strategic priorities of the cooperatives. Survey questionnaires were distributed among 201 randomly selected officers and members of six farmers’ and producers’ cooperatives in District I, Davao Oriental. Multiple regression analysis was utilized to determine the most influencing factors that affect performance, while path analysis was employed to generate the best fit model. Based on the findings, this study proposed a best fit model for cooperative performance which is based on intangible assets. In the best fit model, structural capital (0.37), social capital (0.29), and spiritual capital (0.11) showed a direct effect on cooperative performance. The model also showed that structural capital and social capital have an indirect effect on cooperative performance through spiritual capital. The findings of this paper would guide the cooperative sector to improve its performance by taking into account the role of intangible assets like structural capital, social capital, human capital, and spiritual capital, which are found to have direct and indirect effects in improving cooperative performance, thus helping the government in realizing its national economic goals.

Large‐Scale Analysis of Age and Sex Effects on Corrected QT and JT Intervals: Insights From Hospital‐Based Controls and Moxifloxacin‐Treated Cases

ABSTRACTThe corrected QT (QTc) interval is a critical marker for assessing proarrhythmic potential in drug development, while the corrected JT (JTc) interval provides specific insight into ventricular repolarization. This study quantitatively analyzed the relationships of QTc and JTc intervals with age and sex utilizing a large real‐world dataset of hospital‐based controls and moxifloxacin‐treated patients. This retrospective study analyzed 1,039,550 electrocardiograms and associated clinical data extracted from a previously constructed electrocardiogram database, categorizing cases as hospital‐based controls (n = 119,882) or moxifloxacin‐treated (n = 1586) based on predefined criteria. We observed a general trend of QTc and JTc interval prolongation with age in both groups, with moxifloxacin‐treated cases showing longer QTc and JTc intervals than hospital‐based controls. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that in hospital‐based controls, QTc and JTc intervals increased with age, with males exhibiting shorter intervals than females. Meanwhile, in moxifloxacin‐treated cases, QTc and JTc intervals showed similar age‐dependent increases, although no significant sex differences were observed in the QTc interval. Therefore, this study quantified the effects of age and sex on QTc and JTc intervals in hospital‐based controls and highlighted similar age‐related trends in moxifloxacin‐treated cases, underscoring the relevance of age and sex as key factors in interpreting QTc and JTc intervals across diverse clinical contexts.
