The newborn baby haircut tradition in Islam is called\u0000Aqiqah and, in the Sasak language, refers to Ngurisan. This tradition has\u0000been practiced for years and continues to this day. This research analyzes the\u0000Sasak community's motivation in performing the coins-sowing tradition and\u0000explores the character-building values internalized in the coins-sowing\u0000practice. The method applied in this research is qualitative, using an\u0000ethnographic approach. The research result indicates that the primary\u0000motivation for the coins-sowing tradition is a form of gratitude to God the\u0000Creator because they are blessed with offspring. In such practice, the\u0000character-building values taught at an early age are hard work, sharing with\u0000others, and strengthening good relationships among the Sasak people.

It affects many aspects of daily life, such as restlessness or lack of concentration, which affects the learning effectiveness in their studies. Mindfulness training, systematic training of the mind with a focus on attention and self-regulation, helps improve attention and has a negative relationship with stress. This research was to investigate the effects of mindfulness training in elementary students by comparing the mean scores of response accuracy and reaction time. The sample consisted of 60 elementary students, randomly assigned into groups, the first group being those trained with the audiovisual mindfulness program, and the second being the control group. The training program took place over four weeks, three days per week, and 30 minutes per day. The main finding of this research was that the mean response accuracy scores for attention and working memory after audiovisual mindfulness training, and without training revealed that scores of attention and working memory of the experimental group was higher than those of the control group. However, the response time for attention and working memory\u0000of the groups were not different.","PeriodicalId":43392,"journal":{"name":"FWU Journal of Social Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48100743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the formation of an elected government, elections play a decisive role. The Election Commission of Pakistan derives its authority from the constitution of Pakistan 1973.

However, the forty-eight-year electoral history\u0000of Pakistan is full of accusations, rigging, and malpractices.

Moreover, this study has considered social exchange theory (SET) as a base theory to explain the relationship between SL, PC, and work engagement. A quantitative research design was applied and data was collected using questionnaires from faculty members of Pakistani universities. A total of 276 datasets were analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling using SPSS version 27.0 and Smart-PLS 3. The findings of this study provide evidence that SL is the key leadership style for Pakistani universities. In addition, the PC significantly mediates the relationship between SL and faculty members’ work engagement. In conclusion, the current study has extended the SET by incorporating PC as a mediator between the relationship of SL and the work engagement of faculty members in Pakistani universities. The findings are useful to the universities of\u0000Pakistan to consider the SL practices that are important in shaping the powerful motivational process of PC to enhance the level of work engagement among faculty members.","PeriodicalId":43392,"journal":{"name":"FWU Journal of Social Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48706858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both the labor market and the education market have undergone dramatic changes during the pandemic. A rather serious discrepancy between the structure of labor demand and the structure of graduates underlies the relevance of the present study. The paper aims to analyze the relevant fields of higher education, as well as to identify key trends in 2013–2020 admission campaigns to assess development prospects. In\u0000the course of the study, we put forward several hypotheses that were tested using the case study of Russian undergraduates with state-funded tuition. Structural and dynamic analysis of the 2013–2020 period indicated the growing demand from students for education in all fields except Social sciences. A comparison of the indicator of structural shifts between 2019 and 2020 shows a fundamental change in the demand for fields of educational training for Healthcare and medical sciences, the growth rate was 2.5 times. Considerable changes in the structure of\u0000supply were observed in social sciences (a drop in the percentage of enrolled students), engineering, technology and technical sciences (a rise in the percentage of enrolled students). However, with increased demand for engineering-technical programs in 2020, there was no similar increase in supply. Our hypothesis about a decline in demand and supply for the humanities was not confirmed. At the same time, we proved the hypothesis about an increase in applicants’ demand for medical specialties by 9.4% in 2013–2020 and by 22.6% in the 2020 crisis year.\u0000The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the problem of the healthcare staffing shortage and the need to increase the number of students enrolled in medical education programs. The COVID-19 outbreak has had a profound impact on changes in learner profiles. The identified trends are pushing for a rethinking of the higher education system and the labor market in search for an optimal balance in educating staff.","PeriodicalId":43392,"journal":{"name":"FWU Journal of Social Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41539775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the empirical estimation, we applied probit regression to analyse the reach of the certification across countries, and the negative binomial regression to analyse the intensity of diffusion. The findings show that infrastructural and institutional quality facilitate the ISO standard’s diffusion. Countries with more developed energy sectors are more than expected to have a greater level of energy management certification. Furthermore, the diffusion of the certification is strongly affected by the geographic location of a country. The number of ISO-50001 certificates in a country is linked to the intensity of the certification in the neighbouring countries. We also found the neighbourhood effect measured in terms of distance-weighted corticates in other countries as a strong predictor of the diffusion process.","PeriodicalId":43392,"journal":{"name":"FWU Journal of Social Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41860891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
