Teaching skills are one of the skills that must be possessed by a teacher. Whether or not the pedagogical competence possessed by teachers can be seen from the quality of school performance. Supervision still tends to lead to inspection. So far, the implementation of academic supervision is considered effective. In order for the Academic Supervision to provide objective and detailed results, collaborative self-evaluation is carried out, namely peer evaluation to find teacher strengths that need to be maintained and deficiencies that must be corrected. This study aims to determine the effect of collaboration-based Academic Supervision model with Peer Evaluation Approach to Improve Pedagogical Competence and Quality of School Performance: The Role of Principal's Motivation as Moderation Variable. This research is a quantitative study with numerical data analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) assisted by the Smart PLS application. The results showed that Academic Supervision has an effect on Pedagogical Competence with a P-Value of 0.000 (p <0.05). Academic Supervision affects the Quality of Performance with a P value of 0.000 (p <0.05). motivation is able to moderate positively pedagogical competence with a P value of 0.032 (p <0.05). Motivation is not able to moderate supervision of the quality of performance with a P value of 0.138 (p> 0.05). Supervision is able to explain the Pedagogical Competence (Y1) variable of 69.4%. Supervision is able to explain the Performance Quality variable (Y2) of 40.1%. The principal should be able to periodically monitor the learning carried out by the teacher in the classroom, so that the principal knows the problems faced by the teacher in learning. Researchers who want to research further on this topic can use other variables and a wider sample.

Coaching has often been viewed as a context within which coaches operate to largely bring about changes in athlete’s performance and flourishing. One key factor to successful outcomes in coaching is the quality of the relationship between coaches and athletes. The coach–athlete relationship is at the heart of coaching; however, limited studies have been conducted on its antecedents. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between coaches’ forgiveness and perceived relationship quality toward their athletes through verifying the mediating role of interpersonal behaviors of coaches. A total of 270 Iranian coaches participated in the survey, and the data sets were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results revealed that forgiveness positively predicted the coaches’ perceived relationship quality with their athletes, and this pathway was mediated by the coaches’ interpersonal behaviors.

Summary. Among the proposed USPHS criteria approved by FDI, the level of gloss and polishing of restorations plays a key role in preventing not only such complications  as disocorporations or changes in their texture in the future, but also preventing secondary caries and sealing disintegration, since areas with high roughness play the role of retention points for the accumulation of bacterial plaque and the further progression of the above-described complications.The aim of the study – to analyze the methods for assessing the quality of polishing composite restorations and to determine the role of influence roughness factor of their surface on the prediction of their functioning and change of color stability parameters, formation of biofilm and shine.Materials and Methods. Search of publications related to the topic of this analysis was conducted by the Google Scholar search engine by the keywords "roughness", "polishing", "composite restorations" and their analogues in English. The depth of search, taking into account the age of key articles, determined by the level of their citation in later periodicals, did not exceed 15 years. In order to organize the received data, Microsoft Excel 2016 (Microsoft Office) table editor was used to group  pre-selected articles based on the results of the provided content analysis.Results and Discussion. In the course of the analysis, it was established that the basic laboratory methods for assessing the roughness of the restoration surface, as an indicator of the quality of polishing, are atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and profilometry. Most often, in order to verify the aforementioned parameter in the analyzed studies, the Ra value of mean arithmetic deviation of the profile was used, on the basis of which analysis it was possible to determine the dependence of the possibilities for achieving the corresponding level of restoration polishing on the structure of the composite material used, the system and phases of polishing, and the tribological nature of the interaction of the polishing system and the surface of the restoration.Conclusions. The results of the analysis show that the data obtained in the course of previous clinical and laboratory studies dedicated to the effect of polishing on various restoration parameters are debatable and a more specific systematization is required, with the selection of the investigated aspects of brightness, roughness, color stability and functional prediction changes due to the polishing method in separate independent subjects for research, with further phased combination of them after obtaining unambiguous numerical data, subjected to appropriate objective interpretation.

Early research on relationship marketing highlights the role of communication in shaping trusted and committed business partnerships. Various studies validate communication as one of the strongest determinants of relationship commitment, loyalty, trust and satisfaction. But, few have studied the predictors of communication effectiveness, especially in a global context.  The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of cooperation, quality communication, conflict handling and two-way communication as predictors of communication effectiveness. The perception of their impact on increasing communication effectiveness is tested in the context of buyer-supplier relationship in one high-context/relationship-based country (Brazil) and one low-context/rule-based country (U.S.). Structural equation modeling is used to test the relationships in the model. Results suggest that suppliers focus more on fostering cooperation when dealing with buyers from low-context countries and on conflict avoidance when dealing with buyers of high-context countries. Across both contexts, results further indicate that buyers are universally influenced by the quality of communication exchanged with their buyers.

This study emphasises the importance of Quality of Life (QoL) as a bridge between prison climate and life satisfaction among Malaysian drug-abuse inmates. The respondents are given a self-administered assessment randomly selected from the list of drug-abuse inmates in a Malaysian prison. The Structural Equation Modelling in IBM-SPSS-AMOS 25.0 is applied to model and calculate the inter-relationships among the constructs in the study. The results show that QoL significantly influences drug abuse inmates' prison climate and life satisfaction and partially mediates the relation between prison climate and life satisfaction among Malaysian drug-abuse inmates. QoL is essential to fulfil drug-abuse inmates' life satisfaction during imprisonment and achieve a better life in the community after being released from prison. Hence, practical contributions are proposed to the Malaysian Prison Department for designing appropriate policies and strategies to improve prison climate and QoL for achieving drug-abuse inmates' life satisfaction since Malaysian life satisfaction has become the government's priority in the 12th Malaysia Plan (2021-2025).

Background: CF is a chronic, multisystem genetic disease with a wide variability in clinical severity. CF is a disease of exocrine gland function that involves multiple organ systems but chiefly results in chronic respiratory infections, pancreatic enzyme insufficiency, and associated complications in untreated patients. Many studies explained the lower QOL among adults with CF. in GS there is no previous studies concerned with measuring QOL among CF children Aim of the Study: The aim of this study was to assess the QOL among children with CF. Methodology: The study was descriptive, analytical and cross sectional studies. The study involves all 36 children with CF (less than 12 years old) who attained CF friends center; community based center in Gaza. The researchers uses the questionnaire which included demographic & illness related variables and Quality of life domains (physical, emotional, social and school). Reliability coefficient for the questionnaire was good (Cronbach alpha =0.833). Results and Conclusion: About 61% of the study population were males and 39% were females. Approximately 47% of them were less than 9 years and 53% were more than 9 years. About 41.7% of the study population from Gaza, 25.0% from middle zone, 13.9% from Rafah, 11.1% from Khanyounis and 8.3% from North of Gaza. Housing classification was 38.9%, 33.3% and 27.8 % for property house, renting house and family house respectively. Most of their parents had low educational levels and the majority of them were unemployed and have a monthly income less than 1200 NIS. About 61% of them have another sibling with CF. the majority of them receive Creon at a regular basis. The most common disease associated with them was Respiratory problem with 43.2%, 38.3% had gastrointestinal disease, 14.8% had heart disease and 3.7% had Diabetes Mellitus. The overall perception of the children regarding QOL was low (55%). The social functions was the highest (61.6%), physical functions (55.2%), school function (50.6%), and emotional function (48.8%). The result presented below show that no significant difference in QOL between socio-demographic data (p-value > 0.05) except the difference for QOL between age groups) p-value =0.001). Children older than 9 years old (2.95±0.3) have QOL more than children under nine years of age (2.53±0.4) and this difference was statistically significant as (P value = 0.02 < 0.05). It is also clear that QOL in males are more than female but this difference was not statistically significant. There is a positive correlation with a highly significant difference between QOL and the 4 domains and between domains with each other. Social performance was high correlated with school performance (r = 0.706) while the lowest correlation was between physical and school performance with no significant (p-value =0.065). Recommendations: The study recommend the importance of initiating a program to enhance the QOL for children with CF and focusing on the emotional health for those children as it was the least one perceived.

Given the increase in consumers&rsquo; preferences for coffee, it is becoming important to understand their decision-making processes in the coffee chain context. To deepen the understanding of sustainable outcomes in this context, this study investigates the role of dedication- and constraint-based mechanisms in forming consumers&rsquo; repurchase and positive word-of-mouth (WOM) intentions, two critical sustainable outcomes. We examined the effects of coffee quality, the quality of the physical environment, and service quality in accelerating the formation of dedication-based factors. Moreover, this study offers an in-depth understanding of the enablers of perceived switching costs. Data collected from 238 university students that frequently visit coffee chains are empirically tested against the proposed theoretical framework by using structural equation modeling. The results confirm that both dedication- and constraint-based factors substantially predict consumers&rsquo; sustainable outcomes in the coffee chain context. Brand image and perceived switching costs play an important role in enhancing consumers&rsquo; repurchase and positive WOM intentions compared with customer satisfaction. Coffee quality is significantly associated with both customer satisfaction and brand image, whereas the quality of the physical environment and service quality are only significantly associated with brand image. Habit is found to be the key enabler of perceived switching costs, while loyalty programs have no significant impact on perceived switching costs.

Multicultural awareness is very crucial for every student, as well as self-regulated learning. Until now, research on these two variables is still min-imal. Moreover, there are no studies that examine the factors that influence the relationship between the two variables. This study aims to explore the relation-ship between multicultural awareness and self-regulated learning in students and discuss the role of students' personal profile in the relationship between the vari-ables. The respondents of this study were 165 students of the City of Surabaya, Indonesia. The structural equation model is used for data analysis techniques. The results showed that hypothesis 1 was accepted, meaning a positive and sig-nificant effect of multicultural awareness on self-regulated learning. The path co-efficient was 0.284, while the t-statistics were more significant than 1.96 (2,544) or p-values less than 0.05 (0.011). Whereas in hypothesis 2, it is rejected, the path coefficient is -0.230 while the t-static is less than 1.96 (1,811) or the p-value is more significant than 0.05 (0.071). In conclusion, personal profiles do not affect the relationship between multicultural awareness-ness and self-regulated learn-ing. This study's recommendation is to provide information on need assessments useful in determining appropriate counseling strategies at the University.
