The research participants were undergraduate students from the School of Art and Design at Jiangxi University of Applied Science and Technology, located in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. The total study population was 968 students, with an actual sample size of 284. The study employed a quantitative research method, utilizing a questionnaire design and statistical techniques (such as SPSS) for data collection and analysis. The research period spanned from 2023 to 2024.The results revealed a significant correlation between creativity styles, artistic presentation, and art performance among college students. Specifically, there was a positive correlation between creativity styles and art performance, indicating that students with higher creativity styles exhibited stronger artistic performance. Similarly, there was a positive correlation between artistic presentation and art performance. These findings supported the research hypothesis, demonstrating that enhancing students' creativity styles and artistic presentation abilities contributed to improving their art performance.

This study determined the motivations of Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) in academe and their status of compliance with the Continuing Professional Development (CPD), and its relationship with their professional practice in the Province of Capiz. Using the descriptive and inferential statistical tools, t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r), the educator’s profile and its relationship with their level of motivation, status of compliance, and professional practice was examined. The results revealed that there is a high level of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation regardless of their profile, with a significant difference in terms of sex and educational attainment. It was also found out that their professional practice was excellent across all of the five ethical standard variables in terms of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality, and professional behavior, respectively. However, in terms of their status of compliance to CPD, specifically on their Board of Accountancy (BOA)accreditation, particularly among CPA educators with lower income levels was notably low. There existed a highly significant relationship between their motivation and professional practice. The findings call attention to a need for support system intended for CPD programs, initiatives to pursue graduate education, and an ethics based faculty development program. These interventions aim to heighten motivation, address compliance gaps, and fortify ethical standards in the accounting education.

Based on the characteristics of the development of CBEC, it constructed a trade facilitation evaluation system containing 4 primary indicators and 14 secondary indicators. The trade facilitation indices of ASEAN countries 2018-2022 countries was evaluated and compared using principal component analysis. An empirical research was conducted base on gravity model regression. The dependent variable of the model is China's CBEC export scale, the independent variable is the trade facilitation indices, and the rest of the explanatory variables include the GDP of the trading partner country, the total population, and the geographical distance between the two countries. This paper took tariff level and exchange rate as moderating variables and tests the moderating effect through regression analysis. The results of the empirical study showed that the trade facilitation index of ASEAN countries has a significant positive influence on China's CBEC exports. The tariff level and exchange rate have a negative moderating effect on the relationship between the independent variable is the trade facilitation index and the dependent variable CBEC exports. This implies in order to promote the development of CBEC exports, ASEAN countries may focus on promoting the trade facilitation. At the same time, attention should be paid to the influence of tariffs and exchange rates on CBEC exports to build a China-ASEAN free trade area.

This study, which aimed to determine the psychosocial determinants of the sense of well-being among nurses in district hospitals in Iloilo, utilized causal non-experimental research. A one-shot survey design was used. The duration for the conduct of study was from November 2023 to February 2024. The study’s respondents were 142 nurses from 11 district hospitals in Iloilo Province. Frequency count, percentage, mean, and standard deviation were employed for descriptive statistics, T-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s r, and multiple regression were used for inferential statistics, all set at a 0.05 level of significance. The results revealed that the respondents have moderate to high emotional intelligence, great extended personal resiliency, and high organizational support. In addition, nurses in district hospitals are predominantly young, female, married individuals with at least 16 years of experience in their profession. Furthermore, the nurses actively participate in spiritual activities several times a day. Interestingly, a fraction of the sample has a moderate sense of well-being, and the majority of nurses in district hospitals have a low level of sense of well-being. However, sex, civil status, length of service, spirituality, and educational attainment were not found to be associated with emotional intelligence, personal resilience, and perceived level of organizational support. Conversely, there were significant differences in the perceived organizational support of nurses based on their age and position. Furthermore, age, sex, civil status, length of service, educational attainment, spirituality, and position of nurses were not associated with the sense of well-being of nurses. In other words, nurses' level of well-being showed no significant association based on personal characteristics. The key finding is that the well-being of nurses in district hospitals is highly correlated with emotional intelligence, personal resiliency, and perceived organizational support. Specifically, Emotional Intelligence has a positive relationship with the sense of well-being; however, Emotional Intelligence alone may not be a strong determinant of nurses' sense of well-being. Perceived Organizational Support is identified as a significant determinant and has a significant relationship with the sense of well-being. This indicates that the nurses who feel and are perceived to have support from the organization will have a better sense of well-being. More importantly, Personal Resilience seems to have a stronger impact on well-being. Nurses with higher levels of Personal Resiliency are more likely to experience a greater sense of well-being. Therefore, Personal resiliency is a critical factor in the nurses' well-being. Abstract only Sun, 01 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12852/3790 2024-12-01T00:00:00Z
