This study explores the impact of digital transformation on administrative efficiency in educational institutions, guided by the Digital Transformation Theory. Employing a qualitative research approach, a comprehensive review of existing literature and case study analysis was conducted to examine the implementation of digital transformation in selected educational institutions. The study reveals that digital transformation can revolutionise education by introducing innovative teaching methods, personalised learning experiences, and improved collaboration and communication. Digital tools can streamline administrative tasks, enable data-driven decision making, and promote critical thinking and student engagement. However, challenges such as unequal access to technology and internet connectivity, a lack of digital literacy, and resistance to change must be addressed. The study highlights the importance of investing in digital infrastructure, developing teacher capacity, promoting digital literacy, and fostering a culture of innovation. By leveraging digital transformation, educational institutions can create more effective, engaging, and inclusive learning environments, ultimately preparing students for success in a rapidly changing world. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and administrators seeking to harness the potential of digital transformation in education, and offer a roadmap for effective digital transformation that addresses challenges and capitalises on its benefits.

This is true for John Wesley too. Wesley’s understanding of humanity has not only affected his theological development, especially his Soteriology; it in turn impacted his practice of theology, in particular, his pastoral guidance to the thousands of “Methodists” in the British Isles almost throughout the entire eighteenth century. The latter is particularly true in the light of his concerned with practical Christianity, with the interplay of theology and the realities of daily life

Although the comprehensive assessment of at-risk mental states (CAARMS) is one of the most widely used instruments for identifying individuals meeting the criteria for ultra-high risk (UHR) of developing psychosis, the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the CAARMS (CAARMS-K) have not been studied to date. Thus, we tested the reliability, validity, and factor structure of the CAARMS-K in a Korean population. The CAARMS-K was administered to 96 UHR individuals. The inter-rater reliability and internal consistency of the CAARMS-K were evaluated. In addition, its factor structure was investigated using principal-axis factor analysis. Concurrent validity was examined by comparing the extracted CAARMS-K factors with the five factors of the positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS) using Spearman's correlation tests. The percentage of transition to psychosis was examined at 1- and 2-year. The inter-rater reliability was good (intraclass correlation=.89), and the internal consistency was acceptable (Cronbach's alpha=.812). A five-factor solution demonstrated the best simple structure and accounted for 43.1% of all-item variance. The five factors extracted from the factor analysis were similar to the PANSS five factors and significantly correlated with the factors of the PANSS. Among the 96 UHR individuals, 11 (11.5%) and 17 (17.7%) developed psychotic disorders during the 1- and 2-year follow-up, respectively. The CAARMS-K is a reliable and valid instrument for the assessment of UHR individuals in Korea.

We report on multicanonical simulations of the helix-coil transition of a polypeptide. The nature of this transition was studied by calculating partition function zeros and the finite-size scaling of various quantities. Estimates for critical exponents are presented.
