“…Compared to smokers, the non-smokers also doubts the credibility of messages in PHW with a milder escalation, because they have never seen the illness of smokers around them as shown on the messages, smoking has become a way of social acceptance [35]. They also try to avoid PHW easily by getting rid of it or not paying attention to it.…”

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the process on how smoker and nonsmoker responses to a Pictorial Health Warning (PHW) which is important for policy improvement. AIM: We aim to explore the nature of the reaction and the extent of impact of the PHW implementation on smoking habit in Indonesia. METHODS: We collected the data among adult aged 18+ years in Sleman District, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, involving 45 informants in in-depth interviews and 22 informants in four Focus Group Discussions, selected using the maximum variation sampling according to smoking status and area of residence. We discussed with respondents about the meaning of the PHWs, how they felt when seeing the PHWs, how those feelings emerged when seeing the PHWs, and the impact of seeing the PHWs. We analyzed the data using the content analysis. RESULTS: PHWs raised the intended negative emotional response, that wearing out over time. However, for smokers, the disease threat in the message was less obvious than to defeat smoking addiction. Smokers tried to manage their risk of illness themselves. Among non-smokers, they were more confident in being non-smokers. Both smokers and non-smokers thought that Government is half-hearted in controlling the smoking problem. Smokers were grateful, but non-smokers were sorry for this. CONCLUSIONS: The application of PHW threatens smokers but does not make them quit smoking because of the fear of defeating cigarette dependence. For non-smokers, they feel more confident to be a smoker-free. Respondents claim the government is not serious about controlling smoking.

“…Peer pressure can also contribute to academic pressure in K-12 school students (Subramaniam et al, 2017). Children at this age are often inclined to compare themselves with their peers, and may feel impelled to maintain a similar level of academic achievement or surpass their classmates, leading to elevated levels of stress and anxiety (Smith, 2013;Subramaniam et al, 2017).…”

This interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) sought to answer the question: How do skilled martial arts practitioners with advanced academic degrees interpret the role of mindfulness in their practice, and how do they believe this integration impacts the social and emotional learning of children? The focus of the study was to understand mindfulness practice within traditional martial arts by skilled practitioners and its impact on educational methods and the holistic development of children. The study involved in-depth interviews with eight martial arts practitioners and aimed to capture their lived experiences and the perceived benefits of this integration. The theoretical framework for this analysis was grounded in Dewey's experiential learning theory (1938), which highlights the importance of interactive and reflective learning experiences. The themes identified from the narrative data included the transformative potential of martial arts-based mindfulness in pedagogy, the importance of professional development and education for school teachers, and the need for curriculum integration and community engagement within schools. The findings confirm the existing literature on the positive influence of experiential learning and mindfulness on personal growth and pedagogical efficacy. They also illustrate varied perceptions of mindfulness among practitioners and reveal a spectrum of understanding that can inform teacher education programs. The study highlights the potential of martial arts-based mindfulness to enhance the educational landscape, stress a need for cultural adaptability in schools, and advocate for strategic inclusion in teacher education and policy development. Furthermore, it encourages future research to further explore effective ways of embedding these practices within various educational settings.
