<p><em>The weight-pushing competition is based on maximum strength, as well as explosive ability, correct technical performance, and digital achievement. Explosive ability depends primarily on maximum muscular strength, which is one of the important basic components for players in the weight-pushing competition. There have been recent changes in the training process for the weight-pushing competition, especially with regard to developing the explosive ability of players. One of the most recent of these exercises is plyometric exercises. The researcher chose an important training method for plyometric exercises, which is adding additional weight to the body weight of the weight-pushing player. Hence the importance of the current research because these exercises are different and varied within the exercises used by the coaches for this competition, and the training unit is for weightlifters under 20 years of age to develop their muscular strength and speed of performance, which is of very great importance in their digital achievement, and through the physiological indicator from the device Muscle and nerve EMG mapping in order to improve their physical and functional capabilities and develop the completion of this competition in a scientifically correct and standardized manner. The study aimed to identify plyometric exercises by adding weight to the athlete's body weight, as well as to know the difference between cardiac and post-tests for the functional and physical research variables, and also to know the impact that these exercises had on developing digital achievement and the physiological index. The researchers used the experimental method to suit the nature of the problem posed by the researchers. The research population was 15 players from the Central Euphrates national team for the weight-pushing competition, and the research sample was only 8 players</em>.</p>

<p><em>There is no doubt that the scientific progress that is taking place in most fields, especially the field of sports, has witnessed a significant and noticeable development in recent times in various sports, achieving a qualitative leap in achieving very high achievements in some sports, specifically athletics, and that today we are in dire need of More giving to achieve a bright future that guarantees broad scientific progress and development for the sport of athletics and its various competitions. Strength, which is characterized by speed, plays a major role in most athletics competitions and is of great importance for motor notes, which result from the link between muscular strength and speed to produce a good harmonious movement pattern. The current research aimed to identify the relationship between height and strength characterized by speed among long young jumpers. The researcher assumed the existence of a significant correlation between height and strength characterized by speed and achievement among long jumpers. The researchers adopted the descriptive survey method because it is the closest research method to solving the research problem by the scientific method, as the method is one of the main and basic methods in research. The research population was players from the Middle Euphrates clubs, and the research sample was long jump players, and they divided into two groups, the first of which was players whose height exceeded (180) cm, and the second was players whose height was less than (171) cm. The researchers reached the most important conclusions, which is that there is a significant relationship between height. The long jump and achievement. The most important recommendations made by the researchers was the preference for choosing players with long bodies, especially the lower extremities, for many competitions, especially jumping and jumping competitions. Strength, characterized by speed, is considered one of the physical abilities that has a strong impact on movements, as it combines two basic characteristics and plays an important role in achieving sporting achievements.</em></p>

<p><em>This article analyses how The Bluest Eye, Toni Morrison's earliest novel, presents beauty ideals, identity formation, and societal transformation. Drawing on Morrison's representation of the tragic protagonist Pecola Breedlove, the analysis explores how dominant white standards of beauty become embedded within black culture, leading to destructive internalized racism and self-hatred. It discusses Morrison's skillful storytelling techniques for highlighting the tragic gap between Pecola's actual black female identity and her unattainable white feminine ideal. Additionally, the paper demonstrates how Morrison utilizes Pecola's story to astutely critique the influential role of culture in shaping beauty ideals that engender self-loathing and fractured identities in 1940s America. Further, it outlines how textbooks, family backgrounds, and communities significantly shape what is considered beautiful. The authors argued that Morrison's novel is like an insightful mirror that reflects how cultural beliefs about beauty find their way into societies. This paper also argues for the urgent need to challenge pervasive racism and bias, engender deep self-loathing and fractured identities in young black girls, and advocate for more inclusive standards of beauty and self-worth. The authors believe that nearly fifty years after its publication, Morrison’s brilliant literature remains vital to ongoing efforts toward inclusion, empowerment, and social transformation.</em></p>

<p><em>This study attempted to examine the relationship between motivation, autonomy, self-Efficacy, and Burnout among Iraqi EFL instructor. 100 male and female instructors from different schools in Najaf, Iraq were invited to participate in the study. The participants were chosen through random sampling. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS software. Three statistical tests that are not parametric (Pearson correlation) were applied to evaluate the obtained information. Results exhibited that Iraqi teachers' motivation and burnout mutually significant but negatively associated with each other. Furthermore, results showed that there existed a significant but negative correlation between Iraqi EFL lecturers' motivation and their burnout. Moreover, the results demonstrated that there was a meaningful but negative relationship between Iraqi EFL instructors' autonomy and their burnout. The findings suggest that identifying how different instructors are and how these variations catalyze varied performances among lecturers assist them to pass their difficulties effectively. Recognizing that an instructor who is powerful in one perspective is not necessarily powerful or weak in another perspective may also buttress how to aid teachers become better and to control their classes more effectively. </em></p>

<p><em>Children have the right to get a good education according to the best interests of the child. Formal schools have various obstacles that cause the right to education to be not optimally fulfilled. For this reason, alternatives are needed to fulfill children's right to education. Homeschooling is an informal education path that is increasingly being chosen by parents. Even though the legality of homeschooling has been recognized equally with formal education, attention must be paid to the fulfillment of children's right to education in homeschooling. This is because homeschooling is the realm of parents which is almost absolute, and then because the system of learning and supervision is different from other educational pathways, so further research is needed on how homeschooling is regulated within the national framework, and whether homeschooling can fulfill children's right to education. In this article it will be found that supervision of homeschooling in Indonesia is still weak. Supervision in homeschooling in this case is only supervision from parents and educators. The absence of technical guidelines and implementation instructions for Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture Number 129 of 2014 makes supervision of homeschooling in Indonesia unclear and this leads to potential violations of children's rights to education where there is no guarantee of the quality of education for children who are homeschooling, as well as the potential for possible exposure to radicalism, abuse and exploitation of children.</em></p>

Aging is a fundamental biological process that is inevitable for all living things and describes a condition of overall change in every aspect of life. In this paper, pre-retirement is assumed to be essential to age concerns among tertiary institution workers. Two hundred and fourteen employees from five public tertiary institutions in Anambra State participated in the study. The respondents comprising males (n=90) and females (n=124) were randomly pooled from different departments. They completed a self-report measure of Aging Anxiety and the Pre-retirement Anxiety Scale. The finding revealed a statistically significant, moderate positive correlation between pre-retirement anxiety and aging anxiety, r (212) = .34, p < .001, with pre-retirement anxiety explaining 23.1% of the variation in aging anxiety significant positive association between the variables. The paper extends the empirical understanding of the interrelationship between pre-retirement and aging anxieties in the workplace.</em></p>

<p><em>The government's dedication to ensuring that students acquire technical and vocational skills for self-development and economic growth is reflected in the integration of the TVET program into Nigeria's educational ecosystem. Nevertheless, signs point to a decrease in students enrolling in vocational programs. The current study aimed to determine whether secondary school students were interested in the TVET program based on critical thinking and open-mindedness. The study involved 233 secondary school students from public and private institutions in Anambra State. 13 (12.4%) respondents were 17 years old, 103 (58.0%) respondents were 16 years old, and 87 (25.6%) respondents were 15 years old. Among the respondents were 84 males (41.0 percent) and 119 females (59.0 percent). They filled out self-report questionnaires on their interest in TVET, their level of creativity, and their level of open-mindedness. The results showed that creative thinking ( =.183, p .001) and open-mindedness ( = 168, p .001) among secondary school students in Anambra State were significant predictors of student interest in vocational programs. The two predictor variables explained the total variance in the students' interest in vocational programs to 42.2%. The study's conclusions and practical implications are discussed. </em></p>

<p><em>The educational system in Nigeria has witnessed increased development in technical and vocational training. Intimations suggest that enrollment in the TVET programs are beyond expectation. However, many authors have underscored various factors influencing students' perception of TVET. Little is known about the role of self-esteem and creative thinking in attitudes relating to TVET in Nigeria. The present study investigated secondary school students' attitudes toward TVE based on creative thinking and self-esteem. One hundred and sixty-six secondary school students drawn from public and private secondary schools in River State participated in the study. The participants completed self-report measures on attitude towards TVE, creative thinking assessment, and Rosenberg's self-esteem scale. The findings revealed that 65.5% of the respondents expressed a positive attitude toward TVE. Also, a multiple regression model was computed to test the study's hypothesis. The results showed that creative thinking and self-esteem positively correlated with attitudes toward TVE (r = 0.47, F = 41.13, p<0.01). Notably, creative thinking and self-esteem explained about 21.2% of the variation in attitudes towards TVE. The findings and practical implications of the study are discussed.</em></p>

<p><em>Dishonesty in examinations has always plagued Nigeria's academic system. This affects all levels of education, from primary to tertiary level. Numerous studies have underscored the contributory factors in examination misconduct in academia. However, little is known about the role of socio-psychological variables like reading anxiety and anomie. The present study examined reading anxiety and anomie as predictors of examination misconduct in higher education in Nigeria. Two hundred and forty-eight students, 118 males and 130 females aged 18 to 30 (M = 21.4, SD = 1.92) were conveniently pooled from tertiary institutions in River state, Nigeria, as the participants. A self-report questionnaire was used for data collection. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted for the study. Data from the respondents were analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS, v23). A multiple regression analysis indicated that the predictors (reading anxiety and anomie) significantly predicted examination misconduct in higher education F (1,246), 36.52, P<.000. Most importantly, the R<sup>2 </sup>indicated that the predictor variables contributed to about 45.6% of the variance in examination misconduct among the respondents. The result has implications for curbing the menace of examination misconduct in academia.</em></p>

<p><em>Home economics is an essential subject in Nigeria's educational system, intending to enable students to develop a positive relationship with skills and a healthy living pattern by acquiring various do-it-yourself skills. An increasing body of evidence lends credence to the claim that the field has been struggling with low enrollment rates over the years. Thus, the present study examined the instructor’s didactic skills as a factor influencing the student’s attitude toward home economics education. Ninety-six undergraduates enrolled in the home economics department from two higher education institutions in the Enugu State of Nigeria participated in the study. A simple percentage score indicates that most students (65.5%) indicated a positive attitude towards home economics education, while less (34.5%) showed negative attitudes. Furthermore, a simple regression analysis was performed to test the study hypothesis. The result revealed that the instructor’s didactic skills positively predicted students’ attitudes toward home economics education. The result has implications for the development of home economics in the colleges of education in Nigeria.</em></p>

<p><em>Generation Z represents individuals born in the era of growing digital innovations, and they comprise most of the world's population. This study explored the correlation between this cohort's self-esteem, social support, and social well-being. Two hundred and twenty undergraduates enrolled in four public tertiary institutions in River State, Nigeria, were recruited. The male and female students were conveniently pooled from different departments in the selected institutions. The respondents completed a self-report measure of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and The Social Well-being Scale. A Pearson moment model was computed to test the correlations among the study variables. The results indicated that self-esteem (r = .44, p< .01) and social support (r = .69, p< .001) positively correlated with social well-being in Gen Z. The study concludes that self-esteem and social support are essential determinants of social well-being in the Gen Z. The result has implications for enhancing the social well-being in younger individuals.</em></p>

<p><em>Creativity is the driving force in every society's fine arts domain. Understanding what it means to be creative and the antecedents of creativity in the fine arts domain is fundamental to students' relationship with their lives and the art-making process. The present study examined personality and social variables (core self-evaluation and social feedback) as scarcely explored variables that could explain the variation in creativity among fine arts students. Participants in the study included one hundred and thirteen (n = 113) students enrolled in fine and applied art departments at tertiary institutions in River State, Nigeria. Self-report measures were used to obtain data. The data were subjected to a multiple linear regression analysis, which showed that CSE and social feedback significantly predicted creativity in fine arts.

<p><em>In Nigeria, English is arguably the most crucial subject in classrooms nationwide. Learning English as a second language has been difficult in Nigeria. This is true across all four skills (listening, reading, and writing). Indeed, the difficulty of mastering written English is a stumbling block to expanding learning opportunities and potentiates the incident of sharp practices in academia. The present study examined the correlation between writing anxiety and sharp practices in assessments among young learners. One hundred eighty-seven undergraduates enrolled in various courses at the Federal College of Education Technical, Omoku, River state, participated in the study. A correlational research design was adopted, and the result indicated a positive correlation between writing anxiety and academic dishonesty. The study concludes that writing anxiety significantly determines cheating in undergraduates</em></p>

<p><em>Diabetes is a health challenge that has accounted for many deaths and morbidities worldwide. The growing burden of diabetes and the inability to find a complete cure necessitate proper self-management. Evidence has shown that proper dietary guidelines slow the progression of the disease. However, little is known about the relationship between food literacy and dietary compliance in patients with diabetes. Two hundred and eight diabetic patients attending the public health centers in River State, Nigeria, participated in the study. They included 116 (55.8%) males and 92 (44.2%) females. The respondents completed a self-reported measure of food literacy with an oral interview. The analysis showed that food literacy statistically significantly predicted the respondent's dietary compliance at F (1,206), 138.97, P .000). Notably, the result indicated that food literacy contributed about 45.1% of the variation in dietary compliance among the respondents. Thus, food literacy was recommended to be an essential determinant of dietary compliance. The implication of the study is discussed.</em></p>

<p><em>The integration of the TVET program into Nigeria's educational ecosystem reflects the government's commitment to ensuring that students acquire vocational and technical skills for self-development and economic growth. However, indications suggest a declining number of students enrolling in TVET programs. The present study investigated secondary school students' interest in the TVET program based on creative thinking and open-mindedness. Two hundred and three secondary school students from public and private schools in River State, Nigeria, participated in the study. There were 87 (25.6%) responders were 15 years old, 103 (58.0%) were 16 years old, and 13 (12.4%) were 17 years old. There were 119 (59.0%) females and 84 (41.0 percent) males among the responders). They completed self-report measures on interest in TVET, creative thinking assessment, and actively open-minded thinking scale. The findings revealed that creative thinking (? = .183, p < .001) and open-mindedness (? = 168, p< .001) were significant predictors of student interest in TVET among secondary school students in River State. The two predictor variables explained 42.2% of the total variance in the students' interest in TVET. The findings and practical implications of the study are discussed.</em></p>
