ABSTRACT
The author endeavors to understand that self-evolution is a developmental process of becoming an authentic and purposeful version of oneself by gradual conscious effort of discovery and aligning oneself with one’s core values. It is a journey of continuous learning and improvement involving letting go of past identities to make a good future for oneself, which leads to better self-mastery. Adolescence is a developmental moment of serious changes of the adolescents lives and behaviors. In modern times, it involves sexual implications. The adolescents live freely from constraints. They need autonomy and freedom from parents’ directives, boundaries, and control. They rebel against parents’ rules and authority, but at the same time they need parents’ advice and support in the environment they are with new friends. The need for rebellion and obedience causes a conflict. Conflict is part of adolescents’ development in which they figure out who they are, where they fit in, and begin the separation from parents and eventually become more independent. Adolescents’ feel there is a need to resolve this conflict without losing their identity and at the same time keep a relationship with their parents. In the article, the author discusses culture of embeddedness, mothering culture, parenting culture, role recognizing culture, culture of identity or self-authorship, and culture of intimacy, carefully taking into cognizance the difficulties as postulated by Robert Kegagan, The Evolving Self (1996). In the life cycle of human development, we encounter parenting culture and adolescents’ conflict. The author sets out to explore for better understanding the developmental issues involved in the parents-adolescents relational conflict. The repetition of spiral of frictions, frustrations, and misunderstandings between the two parties.

ABSTRACT
Rational: Turnover intention among Human Resource (HR) professionals poses a critical threat to organizational stability yet remains underexplored in behavioural science literature. As strategic custodians of talent acquisition, employee engagement, and cultural continuity, HR professionals’ own intent to exit reflects systemic vulnerabilities that undermine retention mechanisms across the organization. Positioning them as often overlooked yet vulnerable stakeholders at the intersection of strategy and employee well-being This study explicitly investigates demographic predictors of turnover intention among HR professionals across diverse industries in the NCR region. A cross-sectional survey was conducted, followed by descriptive and inferential statistical analyses to examine differences in turnover intention across demographic variables. Findings revealed a moderate level of intent to leave, with females exhibiting marginally higher turnover intention than males; however, the difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). No significant correlation was observed across age, gender, hierarchy, tenure, or education too. Originality: A distinctive and novel feature of this study is the concentration of respondents in senior HR roles. This may as well have introduced social desirability bias, potentially masking deeper dissatisfaction. The insights underscore the need for HR-driven, demographically attuned interventions. Recognizing HR professionals as emotionally exposed actors due to their roles in conflict resolution, emotional labor, and policy enforcement. The study also calls for deliberate structural protections within the organizational ecosystem to not only mitigate turnover but also to reinforce organizational resilience and long-term workforce stability. Positioning HR as a vulnerable stakeholder in need for a robust systematic support just like any other function.

ABSTRACT
Parenting style is a pattern of behavioural approaches used by a parent when interacting with their child, which significantly influences their lives. Parenting styles also significantly impact adolescent well-being across various aspects. Adolescence is a crucial stage of development, spanning the ages of 10-19, which is marked by rapid biological, psychological, and social changes. The study examines four parenting styles, such as authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful, which are effects on adolescents' psychological, physical, social, emotional, and educational well-being. The study revealed that authoritative parenting style is characterised by warmth, responsiveness, and structured guidance, which consistently support positive outcomes in all areas of well-being. Conversely, authoritarian and permissive styles often result in adverse outcomes such as poorer mental health and diminished well-being. The study emphasises the significance of supportive family environments, open communication, and nurturing practices in promoting adolescents' well-being. The findings hold significant educational implications, emphasising the need for strong home-school partnerships and parental guidance programmes to enhance adolescent well-being. The study concludes by emphasising the profound impact of parenting styles on adolescent development and the crucial role of authoritative methods in promoting overall well-being.

ABSTRACT
This article examines narratives of empowerment of survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) living in internally displaced persons’ camps in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, and the district of Afgoye in the Lower Shabelle Region of the Southwest State of Somalia. These empowerment narratives emphasize survivors’ tales of resiliency, recovery, and determination. They also demonstrate how survivors regain agency and make choices that improve their well-being. Additionally, the narratives stress how crucial it is for survivors to have access to medical care, legal assistance, and employment opportunities in order to start all over again. The survivors emphasize the importance of support systems, availability of resources, and concerted efforts to bridge the gender divide and in dealing with GBV in Somalia. This includes enlisting men and boys as allies, advocating for policy changes, and initiating community-led projects.

ABSTRACT
Objective: Academic adjustment among pre-service teachers in universities is crucial for their success, yet the influence of parenting styles remains understudied. This systematic review examines the relationship between parenting styles and academic adjustment among pre-service teachers. Impact Statement: This systematic review explores the relationship between parenting styles and academic adjustment among pre-service teachers in universities, shedding light on a critical yet underexplored area in teacher education. The findings synthesize current evidence to highlight how early parental influences shape students’ academic behaviors, resilience, and adaptability in higher education. By identifying key patterns and gaps, this study provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers aiming to enhance academic support strategies for future teachers. Therefore, Parenting styles influence academic adjustment among pre-service teachers in universities by shaping students' academic motivation, coping skills, and overall adjustment to university life. The review highlights research gaps and offers recommendations for improving educational support for future teachers. Methods: Using the Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) framework, we developed MeSH terms [(“Parenting Styles” OR “Parenting Practices”) AND (“Academic Adjustment” OR “University Adjustment”) AND (“Pre-Service Teachers” OR “Student Teachers”) AND (“Universities” OR “Higher Education”)] to search ERIC, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. The review was registered on PROSPERO [613401]. Results: Studies from 2020 to 2024 highlight that authoritative parenting enhances self-efficacy and motivation, while negative parenting correlates with maladaptation. Teacher communication, support, and international experiences further improve academic engagement. Conclusion: Parenting styles and teaching strategies significantly impact pre-service teachers' academic adjustment. Future researc

ABSTRACT
Any large gathering brings in potential health risks & risk to disaster. Studies have shown that the benefits outweigh the risks. The benefits are in the areas of well being as those who participated in the month long Hindu congregation, reported a longitudinal increase in well being than those who did not attend or participate. Through the lens of three published studies on the Kalpwasis of the Kumbh Mela (Large & Long congregation of Hindu pilgrims), the article focuses on the influence of socializing & collectiveness on human behavior. The next part is the aspect of faith healing where the article focuses on the trust, confidence angle of human behavior & how it impacts the clinical medicine. The topic of faith healing is seen through the context of medical & behavioral science. At the end, there are two examples related to faith healing. Thus, in the current challenging times, it is prudent to get back to the habit to socialize while developing trust & confidence for each other to not only improve our physical & mental health but also the holistic health.

ABSTRACT
The rapid growth of digital services has increased the need for businesses to understand the factors that influence Customer Satisfaction (CS) and Customer Loyalty (CL). However, achieving high customer satisfaction and loyalty remains a challenge as users often demand both seamless experiences and secure platforms. This study aims to examine the impact of Perceived Ease of Use (PEU), Perceived Security (PS), and Perceived E-Service (PE-S) on Customer Satisfaction (CS), and the subsequent effect of CS on Customer Loyalty (CL). Understanding these relationships is essential for businesses seeking to improve customer retention in the competitive digital marketplace. This study uses a quantitative approach with primary data collected via a Gfom-based questionnaire. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling, targeting active BCA Mobile users in Greater Jakarta. A total of 100 samples were determined using the Lameshow formula. The questionnaire employed a 5-point Likert scale to assess ease of use, security, e-service quality, satisfaction, and loyalty. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) to evaluate both measurement and structural models. The findings reveal that both PEU and PE-S have significant positive effects on CS, indicating that customers are more satisfied when they find the platform easy to use and receive high-quality digital support. However, PS shows a significant but negative impact on CS, suggesting that while security is essential, it can sometimes reduce user satisfaction if it introduces inconvenience. Interestingly, the path from CS to CL was found to be statistically insignificant, indicating that high customer satisfaction does not necessarily lead to strong customer loyalty. These results also highlight the importance of balancing security and usability while focusing on superior service quality to enhance customer satisfaction. This study provides valuable insights for companies looking to optimize their digital platform
