EFFECT OF COMPENSATION AND WORK DISCIPLINE ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE WITH RELIGIOSITY AS A MODERATING VARIABLE
Authors: Rusni Andi , Nur Fietroh Muhammad
Published: February 2025

This study aims to examine the effect of remuneration and work discipline on employee performance, with religiosity as a moderating element. This study uses quantitative techniques and a causal approach in data analysis. The research population consists of all Regional Apparatus Organization (OPD) workers in West Sumbawa Regency (KSB), with a total of 3,133 individuals. The total sampling technique was used in this study. The sample size was determined using the Slovin formula, resulting in a total of 100 respondents. Data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach, which is part of the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis. The results showed that compensation and discipline positively and significantly affect employee performance. Religiosity effectively moderates the effect of compensation and work discipline on employee performance in OPD KSB. Increased remuneration and effective discipline enforcement can increase staff productivity and efficiency. Employee religiosity acts as a moderator that strengthens the relationship between compensation, discipline, and performance. Employees with high levels of religiosity will feel a greater effect of both elements on their performance, suggesting that spiritual values and work ethics are interrelated and can encourage a more productive work environment.

Published: February 2025

High employee performance can increase productivity, efficiency, and work quality. In addition, employees who perform well can also create a positive work environment, foster work enthusiasm, and increase customer satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to analyze the improvement of employee performance using work discipline mediation. This study was conducted on employees of a cleaning service and gardening company in West Jakarta, with a sample of 50 employees. The data analysis method in this study was quantitative, using the Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis tool. The results of the study showed that online attendance did not have a significant effect on employee performance. On the other hand, compensation had a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Furthermore, both online attendance and compensation were found to have a positive and significant effect on work discipline. What is interesting is that work discipline succeeded in becoming a mediator of the effect of online attendance on employee performance, but failed as a mediator of the effect of compensation on employee performance. These findings emphasize the importance of effective compensation management and the role of work discipline in facilitating the effect of online attendance on performance. Overall, the results of this study provide new insights for managers and Human Resources (HR) professionals in planning strategies to improve employee performance through compensation management and work discipline.

«Og husk at vi ikke har mistet omsorgen for våre barn. Den er blitt tatt fra oss» – Om hvordan foreldre som har blitt fratatt omsorgen inkluderes og ekskluderes i samfunnet
Authors: A. Aamodt Hilde , Olkowska Alicja
Published: February 2025

Artikkelen er et resultat av et forskningsprosjekt som studerer omsorgsovertakelser fra et foreldreperspektiv i Norge. I denne artikkelen undersøker vi hvordan mødre som er fratatt omsorgen for sine barn inkluderes og ekskluderes i samfunnet og på den måten blir gitt ulike subjektidentiteter. Identiteter den enkelte ikke nødvendigvis kjenner seg igjen i, men som like fullt kan medføre ekskludering og utestengelse fra avgjørende velferdsgoder. Det å være inkludert i barnevernets system innebærer ikke nødvendigvis å motta hjelp den enkelte opplever som hjelpsom. Heller fremstår barnevernet å være frakoblet det sosialfaglige system hvor livsbetingelser og omsorgskompetanse blir sett i en sammenheng. Heller ikke det rettslige system synes å kommedisse foreldrene til unnsetning. Avslutningsvis tematiseres menneskerettighetenes mulig funksjon for foreldre som er fratatt omsorgen for sine barn. Artikkelen er forankret i Niklas Luhmanns systemteori.

Screening the Fleet: The Royal Navy on Television 1973–2023
Authors: Rayner Jonathan
Published: February 2025

In Screening the Fleet, Prof. Jonathan Rayner explores the representation of the modern Royal Navy on British television over a fifty year period from 1973 to 2023. Contextualising his subject with significant aspects of earlier naval representation, in recruiting, documentary and public information films from the 1940s to the 1960s, Rayner then brings his focus forward to 1973-2023.

The 1970s were a significant decade for naval representation on television, and saw the broadcast of two definitive series: the BBC’s drama series Warship and the acclaimed documentary series Sailor. These landmark series set the benchmark for naval representation in both realist and in fictional portrayals. They also set precedents for audience perceptions, and these have affected the production, and the reception, of the series on the Royal Navy that have followed.

Rayner’s work investigates how advances in technology allow programme makers to use new techniques in the spheres of naval drama and documentary. More recent series also need to balance the required conventions for any portrayal of the navy on television with the revelatory or iconoclastic approaches now expected by modern audiences.

In focussing on the changing portrayal of the Royal Navy on television, however, Rayner also surfaces how the Navy itself has evolved in the post-World War II world. The series analysed in Screening the Fleet also evidence the changing nature and increasing diversity of the naval community as a reflection of changing notions of Britishness.

Offering the first study of its type, this volume highlights evolving and emerging trends in factual and fact-based television programmes through their portrayal of a highly popular, patriotic and persistent subject over a fifty year period. It debates developments in television and documentary approaches using the representation of the Royal Navy, and its changing position in perceptions of British identity.
Entropy-based analysis using linear diophantine multi fuzzy soft sets: A DEA approach for improved decision systems
Authors: Kannan Jeevitha , Jayakumar Vimala , Kather Mohideen Ashma , Tamilvizhi M.
Published: February 2025

This article unveils an innovative approach to improving the entropy measure
analysis of Decision Making Units(DMUs) in the context of linear Diophantine
multi-fuzzy soft sets. Though multi-fuzzy soft sets combine
multi-dimensional values and parameters to create a hybrid model with
considerable versatility, linear diophantine fuzzy sets, a noteworthy
extension of conventional fuzzy sets, are also utilized to ease prior
constraints. Entropy is a fundamental concept in fuzzy set theory and a
useful tool for quantifying the level of fuzziness seen in fuzzy sets. We
employ entropy measurements to quantify the weights of input and output
components in data envelopment analysis, a non-parametric method frequently
used in multi-criteria decision-making. The novelty of this study is
integrating the weight determination in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) by
introducing novel entropy measures with linear Diophantine multi-fuzzy soft
sets. The significance of DEA is found in its strong analytical
capabilities, which facilitate improved decision-making, boost operational
effectiveness, and encourage ongoing development in a variety of industries.
To illustrate the significance of our suggested approach, we offer a
numerical example of building energy efficiency using a DEA model. This work
contributes to fuzzy set theory and DEA techniques, offering a helpful tool
for evaluating and enhancing complex decision systems.
Effects of Different Team Formats on the Performance of Multidisciplinary GHG Assurance Teams
Authors: Ekasingh Erboon , Hoang Hien , Trotman Ken T.
Published: February 2025

Assurance of GHG and other ESG disclosures has become widespread. We examine the effect of team format on the performance of GHG multidisciplinary assurance teams comprising an assurance expert (financial background) and a subject matter expert (scientific background). We compare the performance of three different multidisciplinary GHG assurance teams (nominal, interacting and review) on a brainstorming task involving GHG risk generation. We find that both nominal teams and review teams outperform interacting teams in the quantity and quality of risks generated. We also find evidence of the nature of cognitive diversity in multidisciplinary teams as assurance experts generate more unique risks associated with comparing the subject matter with suitable criteria than subject matter experts.
Does Financial Reporting for Income Tax Expense Affect the Timeliness of Goodwill Impairments?
Authors: King Zachary , Lynch Daniel P. , Stomberg Bridget , Utke Steven
Published: February 2025

We examine if financial reporting for income tax expense affects the timeliness of goodwill impairments. Goodwill impairments are material, but their timing is subject to managers’ discretion. U.S. GAAP requires firms to test all goodwill for impairment, whereas tax laws generally do not permit impairment deductions and allow amortization for only some goodwill. When an impairment includes goodwill that is not tax-amortizable, firms obtain no financial statement tax benefits to offset the impairment’s negative effect on GAAP net income, thereby increasing the effective tax rate (ETR). We predict and find that managers are more likely to delay impairments when the impairment of nontax-amortizable goodwill generates a material ETR increase. We estimate that goodwill impairments are 11 to 14 percent more likely to be delayed when they materially increase ETRs. Our findings suggest financial reporting for taxes potentially distorts the timeliness of goodwill impairments, informing the debate on goodwill accounting.

En kartleggingsoversikt av SDT-forskning på eliteidrett i Norge
Authors: Abrahamsen Frank Eirik , Bentzen Marte
Published: February 2025

Our review of research on self-determination theory (SDT) and elite sports in Norway reveals a Norwegian sports landscape that largely aligns with the recommendations from SDT. A distinctive feature of Norway is its egalitarian approach to leadership, which profoundly shapes the collaboration between the coach and athlete. This approach positions Norway ahead of many other countries in satisfying the needs of both parties as described in the theory, namely supporting competence, autonomy, and relatedness. However, variations are also observed within Norway. Our review includes studies with samples from high school athletes/coaches onwards, ultimately incorporating 25 studies in this scoping review. We have opted to present the findings in three groups: (1) young athletes, (2) adult athletes, and (3) coaches. Generally, the findings support the assumptions of SDT, wherein need satisfaction is associated with positive qualities in sports, and less autonomous motivational qualities correlate with negative elements. The review indicates a need for more longitudinal studies in the future. Given that elite sports, by definition, yield fewer research participants, it is recommended that more qualitative studies are conducted that can capture changes in athletes and coaches over time. Comparative studies within different environments in Norway and from other countries could also prove beneficial. In the interim, the recommendation is to learn from elite sports environments that already adhere well to the theory’s recommendations.
«Appen heier på deg!» Hvordan kan bærbar digital teknologi integreres i SDT-baserte intervensjoner for å øke fysisk aktivitet: en systematisk kunnskapsoppsummering
Authors: Stenling Andreas , Pedersen Cathrine
Published: February 2025

Previous research has shown that self-determination theory (SDT)-based interventions can positively impact self-determined motivation and physical activity. Most of these interventions, however, have been face-to-face and focused on the role of interpersonal behaviors of significant others. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine effects of SDT-based interventions that include wearable digital technology on adults’ motivation and physical activity. We also examined characteristics of the studies (e.g., samples, study design, context). A literature search of five databases (i.e., APA Psychinfo, Cochrane Library, Medline, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science) yielded 395 articles screened, and 26 articles were included based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The mean age of participants was 38 years, and the studies included more women (65 percent) than men (35 percent). Although most studies were randomized controlled trials, the sample sizes were generally small (73 percent < 100 participants), and most studies focused on one or several types of motivation and general/total physical activity. Applications were the most common wearable technology, followed by wrist-worn activity trackers, and activity watches. The results also indicated mixed and inconclusive effects on adults’ motivation and physical activity.
Bokvalg i norske barnehager - hva som leses sammen med barn og hvorfor
Authors: Bjorvand Agnes-Margrethe , Mitchell Monica G. , Tunkiel Katarzyna A. , Undheim Marianne
Published: February 2025

I denne studien utforsker vi hvilke bøker som leses i norske barnehager og hvordan barnehagelærere begrunner valg av bøker. Artikkelen diskuterer funn i lys av teori om barnekultur, danning og estetisk erfaring. Studien benytter en multimetodisk tilnærming bestående av en nasjonal spørreundersøkelse og semistrukturerte fokusgruppeintervjuer med barnehagelærere. Våre hovedfunn er at det totalt sett er stor bredde og variasjon i bokutvalget i norske barnehager. Det er imidlertid eldre tekster og bokserier som dominerer utvalget, og nyere enkelt-titler har vanskelig for å få innpass. Barnehagelærernes begrunnelser for bokvalg viser at de er aller mest opptatt av at barna skal like bøkene som formidles. De er også opptatt av at bøkene skal oppleves som aktuelle, humoristiske og spennende. Barnehagelærerne vektlegger at bøkene bør være tematisk relevante, ha fine bilder og føre til gode samtaler. Når barnehagelærere i så stor grad velger å lese bøker barna liker, innebærer dette stort sett bøker barna kjenner fra før. Det blir dermed tydelig at det finnes et uutnyttet potensial i barnehagen for å løfte fram nye barnebøker, både enkelttitler og serier. 
ENGLISH ABSTRACT
Book Selection in Norwegian Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) Institutions: Which Books are Read with Children and Why
In this study, we explore which books are read with children in Norwegian Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) institutions and how teachers justify their book choices. As the theoretical framework, we draw on theory on children’s culture, Bildung and aesthetic experience. The study uses a multi-phased approach consisting of a national survey and semi-structured focus group interviews with early childhood teachers. The results show that there is a wide range and variety in the book selection in Norwegian ECEC institutions. Furthermore, the book selection is heavily dominated by older texts and book series, which makes it challenging for newer individual titles to gain prominence. According to the teachers, they tend to choose books that they know the children enjoy. It is important for the teachers that children experience the books as interesting, humorous, and exciting. The teachers also emphasize that the books should be thematically relevant, have appealing pictures and lead to good conversations. However, when teachers mainly read books that children find enjoyable, that is books already known to the children, we find that there is an untapped potential in ECEC institutions to promote newer books, both individual titles and series.
Digitala läspraktiker i förskolan
Authors: Nilsen Malin
Published: February 2025

Denna studie handlar om hur en digital läsresurs (Polyglutt) används i den svenska förskolan. Syftet med studien är att utforska och analysera digitala läspraktiker inom den svenska förskolan och frågeställningarna löd som följande: 1) Hur deltar barn och pedagoger i läsaktiviteter med den digitala läsresursen? och 2) På vilka sätt remedierar den digitala läsresursen läspraktiker i förskolan? Teoretiskt utgår studien från ett sociokulturellt perspektiv, med begreppen remediering, gemensamt uppmärksamhetsfokus, scaffolding och agens som centrala analytiska verktyg. Det empiriska materialet bestod av videoobservationer av sju läsaktiviteter i vilka 26 barn och åtta pedagoger deltog. Analysen indikerar att digitala läsaktiviteter kan ha potential att främja barns självständighet och agens. Samtidigt kan de också innebära minskad social interaktion och färre samtal om böckernas innehåll, särskilt om de genomförs utan en deltagande pedagog. Sammanfattningsvis ger studien en djupare förståelse för hur en digital läsresurs används i förskolan och för pedagogens roll i att strukturera och stödja dessa aktiviteter. Slutsatserna betonar vikten av att strukturera digitala läsaktiviteter så att de inkluderar social interaktion och uppmuntrar barn att diskutera text och bild. 
ENGLSIH ABSTRACT
Digital Reading Practices in Preschool
This study examines the use of the picture book service (Polyglutt) in Swedish preschools. The aim is to explore and analyse digital reading practices within the Swedish preschool context, addressing the following research questions: 1) How do children and educators participate in reading activities using the picture book service? and 2) In what ways does the picture book service remediate reading practices in preschools? The study is grounded in a sociocultural perspective, employing the concepts of remediation, joint attention, scaffolding, and agency as central analytical tools. The empirical data consists of video observations of seven reading activities involving 26 children and eight educators. The analysis suggests that digital reading activities have the potential to promote children’s independence and agency. At the same time, they may also lead to reduced social interaction and fewer discussions about the content of the books, especially if carried out without the involvement of a participating educator. In conclusion, the study provides a deeper understanding of how digital reading resources are used in preschools and underscores the importance of the educator’s role in structuring and supporting these activities. The findings highlight the need to design digital reading activities to include social interaction and encourage children to discuss text and images.
«Så sitter du der og plutselig leser for alle» – en nærstudie av barnehageansatte som litteraturformidlere
Authors: Wild Malgorzata , Tveitan Christina Berg
Published: February 2025

Nyere forskning om barnehageansatte viser hvilke lesepraksiser som finnes i skandinaviske barnehager (Alatalo & Westlund, 2021; Damber, 2015; Dybvik et al., 2022; Tjäru, 2023). Det er imidlertid mindre undersøkt hva norske barnehageansatte legger til grunn for lesing i barnehagen. I denne artikkelen retter vi søkelys mot barnehageansattes refleksjoner om egen rolle som litteraturformidlere, samt deres personlige erfaringer med litteratur. Studien baserer seg på intervju av sju barnehageansatte med forskjellig utdanningsbakgrunn. Resultatene viser at det ikke nødvendigvis er en sammenheng mellom barnehageansattes egen lesing og valg av lesing som aktivitet i barnehagen. Vi ser også at flertallet av informantene vektlegger språkutviklingsfunksjonen litteraturen har når de legitimerer valg av lesing. I tillegg er informantene opptatt av å formidle litteratur på barnas premisser og peker på barnas initiativ, interesser og formidlingsstrategier som viktige elementer. I studien ser vi også en antydning til kollektive og spesialiserte leseroller i de ulike barnehagene informantene jobber i. 
ENGLISH ABSTRACT
“All of the Sudden You Are Sitting There Reading for Everyone” – A Close Study of Pedagogical Staff as Literature Mediators
Recent studies of pedagogical staff investigate practices that inform read-alouds in kindergartens (Alatalo & Westlund, 2021; Damber, 2015; Dybvik et al., 2022; Tjäru, 2023). There is, however, less research on what motivates pedagogical staff in Norwegian kindergartens to include read-alouds in their practice. In this article we look at how the pedagogical staff reflect on their own roles in read-alouds as well as their personal experiences with literature. This study is based on interviews with seven kindergarten workers with diverse educational backgrounds. The result shows that there is not a clear correlation between the pedagogical staff’s own reading and their choice of reading as an activity in kindergarten. We also observe that the majority of the informants point to the language supporting function of the literature when they legitimise choosing reading as an activity. In addition, the informants ascribe value to reading literature on children’s terms and consider the children’s initiative and interests as well as their own reading strategies as important. In the study we also observe tendencies to collective and specialised reading roles in the respective kindergartens the informants work at.
Hydrogen Peroxide Scavenging by Methanolic Extracts of Coriander: An In Vitro Antioxidant Study
Authors: M Yadav , S Kumari , N Nagraj , N Sharma , SL Bharati , S Singh , Kumar Jaynath , PK Chaurasia
Published: February 2025

Most of the nutraceutical plants, plants associated products and foods are known for their promising antioxidant properties
due to the presence of several metabolites like polyphenolic compounds, flavonoids, terpenoids, vitamin C and many other.
These molecules have strong tendency to scavenge the free radicals (reactive oxygen species) generated inside our body
system due to the various reasons. Out of several methods for the antioxidant activity determination; hydrogen peroxide
scavenging activity is an important method. This method has been used to determine the percentage scavenging activity of
coriander seeds methanolic extract and coriander leaves methanolic extract for four different concentrations i.e. 100, 200,
300, and 400 μg/mL. Coriander seeds methanolic extracts showed the good level of percentage hydrogen peroxide scavenging
activities in the range of 33.67-60.2% while scavenging activities for methanolic extract of coriander leaves were in the range
of 47.95-70.61%. Range of scavenging activity for standard ascorbic acid was 65.12-81.35%. Although, extracts showed lower
scavenging activity than standard ascorbic acid but result was promising indicating the good antioxidant activities of these
extracts. Study demonstrates that methanolic extract of coriander leaves showed higher antioxidant activity (H2O2 scavenging
activity) than coriander seeds and thus, coriander leaves are better antioxidant plant source.
Measuring serious violence perpetration: comparison of police-recorded and self-reported data in a UK cohort
Authors: Cornish Rosie , Teyhan Alison , Tilling Kate , Macleod John , Brennan Iain
Published: February 2025

IntroductionDetermining risk factors and consequences of serious violence requires accurate measures of violence. Self-reported and police-recorded offending are subject to different sources of bias.
ObjectivesTo compare risk of self-reported and police-recorded serious violence perpetration in late adolescence and early adulthood using linked UK birth cohort and police data, to examine the association between cohort participation and police-recorded violence, and to use police-records to impute missing self-reported data on violence
MethodsWe included individuals in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) who had been informed about the study's use of their linked data and had not opted out of linkage to police records (n = 12,662). We used descriptive statistics and logistic regression to address our objectives. Multiple imputation using chained equations was used to impute self-reported violence data to examine the likely impact of missing data on estimates of prevalence.
ResultsSelf-reported violence perpetration in the past year ranged from 5.3% (at 25 years) to 12.9% (at 20 years) among males and 3.2% (at 17, 22, 24 and 25 years) to 6.4% (at 18 years) among females. Police-recorded serious violence was lower at all ages, peaking at 17-18 years (1.7% among males, 0.5% among females). Study participation was lower among people who had or went on to have a police record for serious violence; as a result, the prevalence of self-reported violence in the imputed data was higher (compared to observed data) at all ages.
ConclusionsOverall, our study demonstrates the difficulties in measuring violence. While we have shown that a key advantage of linkage to police records is it enables outcomes to be measured irrespective of study participation, police data undercounts serious violence. Further, observational studies may also underestimate violence perpetration as individuals with police-recorded serious violence are less likely to participate in research. Therefore, while record linkage allows the advantages of both official police records and self-reported measures to be exploited, it does not negate their limitations.
Sensory Gentrification in the Most Beautiful City in the World
Authors: Abram Sandi , Bajič Blaž
Published: February 2025

This article examines the dynamics of gentrification within the intersections of creative industries, urban (re)development, and social exclusion, with a focus on Ljubljana, Slovenia. It investigates the transformation of the Rog factory and its surrounding area—from an industrial site to an autonomous squatterzone and, finally, to a creative hub. Central to our analysis is the sensory dimension of urban regeneration. We introduce the concept of sensory gentrification to articulate the changing distribution of the sensible. Our argument posits the aesthetic, affective and sensory transformations implicated in gentrification as more than mere spatial rearrangements. Instead, we assert that the spatial rearrangements produce corresponding forms of social subjectivity. Through this lens, the paper shows how the gentrification of Rog recuperated the surplus politics of the squatting community—its anti-hegemonic political ideas and practices—incorporating them into the surplus value production of the newly established creative center.
Engaging (with) Places
Authors: Johannesdottir Snjolaug , Rastrick Olafur
Published: February 2025

Places are significant for people, providing grounds for a sense of belonging, identity, and well-being. This article draws on a research project examining people-place relations within the everyday material environment of central Reykjavík. Grounded in a critical heritage studies perspective, the project aims to contribute to an understanding of how individuals ascribe meaning and value to the historic urban landscape and analyse the emotions and affective qualities that emerge through sensory engagement with places perceived as material embodiments of the past. The article addresses the method of solitary, self-led participant walks using audio-visual recording glasses, supplemented with follow-up interviews. This approach facilitates in-situ, on-the-move observations of participants’ spatial encounters, offering insights into their emotional and sensory experiences of the urban landscape. The article delineates how the method enabled participants to immerse themselves in the flow of their walks, evoking a variety of sensorial expressions, mnemonic fragments, and shared narratives prompted by encounters with the material facets of the city centre. The findings highlight the potential of the method to provide partial yet meaningful access to the affective and emotional dimensions of people’s interactions with urban spaces, offering insights into the ways individuals experience and value the historic urban landscape.

Published: February 2025

Platelet-rich fibrin is a healing biomaterial that can be used unaccompanied or in conjunction with bone grafts to promote hemostasis, bone development, and maturation. It has a tremendous likelihood for bone and soft tissue redevelopment and does not cause any inflammatory reactions. The platelet-rich Fibrin preparation protocol is very simple: Collection of blood in the glass tube and then directly centrifuging it without any additives, establishing fixed fibrin clots rich in platelet leucocytes and growth factors set in the fibrin. Platelet-rich fibrin advantages: it does not dissolve rapidly and is prepared at a low cost. Platelet-rich fibrin is used in almost all oral surgery and dental implant procedures because of its effect on the healing of both hard and soft tissue of the oral cavity.

The news about the Kingdom of Heaven is the central news in the preaching of Jesus during His life, specifically based on the Gospel of Matthew. The Lord Jesus always preached the news about the Kingdom of Heaven because the news carried by Jesus was not only limited to political or geographical dimensions but also spiritual. The preaching of Jesus about the Kingdom of Heaven brings about an important message, specifically concerning the restoration of the relationship between humans and God. However, this news or preaching seems to be hidden and veiled. Even the values of the Kingdom of Heaven are increasingly unidentified in the form of church service and ministry because the news about the Kingdom of God is less voiced out and disseminated. Based on this, a theological study is very important and necessary to discuss Jesus’s news about the Kingdom of Heaven, which can be implied in the Borneo Evangelical Mission church today. The methods used in this study are qualitative research and literature study. Through this study, it can be concluded that the News of Jesus about the Kingdom of Heaven can be implied and applied in the BEM Miri Sarawak church. First, Jesus prioritizes changes of heart and repentance as basic teachings of the Kingdom of Heaven. Second, Jesus emphasized the High Moral Teachings and Ethical Values in the expression of “Blessed or Beatitude” about the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 5: 3–12). Third, Jesus proclaimed Unconditional Love as a basic principle in the Kingdom of Heaven. Fourth, Jesus taught about His Power as evidence of the Presence of the Kingdom of Heaven. Fifth, the Secret of the Kingdom of Heaven is revealed in the form of Parables.

This study aims to examine the experiences of pre-service elementary mathematics
teachers regarding the school experience course conducted through distance education due to the
Covid-19 pandemic. The study was conducted with 64 volunteer participants, from students who
took the School Experience course in the fall semester of the 2021-2022 academic year at a state
university, which was determined by convenience sampling among the universities in Turkey. The
data was gathered using Google form at the end of the fall semester, using a data collection tool
including 4 open-ended questions. These questions were about general evaluation, contributions,
faced problems, and suggestions about the school experience course process. The study is
phenomenological research from qualitative research types, and the content analysis method was
used to analyze the data. Based on the analysis of the collected data, the following codes were
obtained: positive, neutral, and negative under the heading of general evaluation; no contribution,
getting to know students, professional skills, and time under the heading of contributions;
technological problems, lack of professional skills, professional satisfaction, and communication
under the heading of faced problems; and active participation, changing the course content,
educational support, face-to-face education, student participation, and technological support under

Associating the information intended to be learned in line with the achievements of the science course with daily life, following current situations, and developing solutions to possible problems are among the important skills that students should acquire. This study aims to determine the level of science teachers' ability to establish a real life relationship with the subjects in which students have difficulty in their lessons. The research was conducted with a case study, one of the qualitative research methods. The participants consisted of 13 science teachers selected by criterion sampling method. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed descriptively. The findings of the study were evaluated within the scope of the difficulties experienced in relating the lesson to daily life, current thoughts, experiences, and life-based learning approach and two important conclusions were drawn. The first one is that students experience learning difficulties in subjects that teachers characterize as unrelated to daily life. The second is that most of the teachers are aware of the life-based learning approach, but they have difficulties in implementing it and cannot adopt it sufficiently.

In this study, the aim was to develop a measurement tool that would provide a valid and reliable assessment of secondary school students' mathematical resilience skills. The research was conducted with a sample of 229 students. To ensure the content and face validity of the scale, expert opinions were initially sought, and the scale was revised based on their suggestions. The scale was then administered to the student group, to evaluate the construct validity of the measurements, both Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were performed. The EFA results indicated that the scale comprised 14 items grouped into four sub-dimensions, labeled as 'value,' 'struggle,' 'growth,' and 'culture.' These factors accounted for 57.667% of the total variance. Regarding reliability, the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated as .704. Additionally, CFA confirmed the four-factor structure of the scale. These results indicate that the developed scale is a valid and reliable tool for measuring students' mathematical resilience skills.
