This study aimed to explore the happiness in the living environment, and well-being of residents of Da Nang city, Vietnam. There are six key dimensions of air environment quality, water environment quality, soil environmental quality, natural landscape and biodiversity, safe security and social service. This research on 1790 residents show that there were no significant gender disparities in the happiness derived from the living environment across all dimensions. The participants reported high levels of satisfaction with air environment quality and water environment quality, more than other items. Education level played a significant role, with postgraduate graduates exhibiting greater satisfaction levels in air, water, and soil environmental quality, natural landscape and biodiversity, safe security, and social services compared to individuals with lower levels of education. These findings imply that efforts to enhance well-being in DaNang should be customised for various age demographics and underscore the advantages of higher education.

The challenges faced by teaching and non-teaching staff during the implementation of the Strategic Performance Management System at a state institution in Camarines Sur are examined in this paper. It aimed to develop a better way to evaluate employee performance so that the former had a lot of trust in the review process, and consequently, contributed significantly to the overall achievement of the organisation’s goal. The findings of a descriptive study design indicate that employees are burdened by the broad goals set during performance planning and the lack of coaching and mentoring throughout the performance cycle. The study highlights the need for a thorough, ongoing review and assessment based on trustworthy metrics and staff-shared policies. It suggests that administrators and the performance management team develop strategies to enhance collaboration among administrative staff, upper management, and rank-and-file personnel in order to provide a common motivation for achieving organisational goals.

This study evaluated a behavioural theory-based training program aimed at improving self-care skills in early childhood Down Syndrome (DS) patients in Jordan. A quasi-experimental research approach involving 36 children aged 3-6 years from special education centres, the study randomly assigned participants to the training program or traditional care. Utilising the Self-Care Assessment Tool for Children with Down Syndrome (SCATC-DS), the research measured skills before and after intervention. Results showed significant improvements in the training group, particularly in Basic Hygiene, Dressing, Food Preparation and Eating, Indoor Navigation, and Emotional Expression. While Communication skills improved, they did not reach statistical significance. These findings suggest the program’s potential for enhancing self-care skills in young children with DS in Jordan, indicating a need for its integration in educational and therapeutic settings. Future research might focus on program duration, larger sample sizes, and enhanced communication training.

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) created the Human Development Index (HDI), a composite metric for health, education and income, which measures a nation’s degree of human development. The prime aim of this study is to correlate the human development index values of the parents with the learning quality of the graduate students in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh in India. For this research, the descriptive survey method is used to collect data from 117 graduate students in Uttar Pradesh and 115 from Madhya Pradesh using random sampling. The human development tool is used to collect the data and results showed the non-significant difference between HDI value of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh but there is a positive correlation (0.947) between the HDI values and learning quality of the graduate students of the two states.
