The study investigated interpersonal skills as determinants of adolescents’ social adjustment in the University of Buea. The study employed a cross-sectional survey research design, specifically utilizing a sample survey approach. The research focused on a population of 5,736 adolescent students across three faculties. To determine an appropriate sample size, the researchers applied the Krejcie and Morgan model, which indicated that 361 students would constitute a representative sample. The sampling process combined purposive sampling to identify the population of interest, followed by random selection of individual participants. For data collection, the researchers developed and administered a questionnaire that included both open-ended and closed-ended questions. The data management process began with entering the collected data into EpiData version 3.1. To ensure data quality, the researchers then conducted rigorous data cleaning and validation checks using SPSS version 23.0, which helped identify and address any invalid codes in the dataset. To establish the reliability of the research instrument, the team assessed the internal consistency of responses using Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient. The statistical analysis employed two main tests: Chi-square analysis was used to examine and compare descriptive differences in the data, while Spearman's rho correlation test was selected for hypothesis testing due to the normal distribution of the data. This comprehensive methodological approach allowed the researchers to systematically collect, process, and analyze data while maintaining scientific rigor throughout the study. The combination of purposive and random sampling techniques helped ensure both the relevance and representativeness of the sample, while the statistical tests chosen were appropriate for the nature of the data and research objectives. The data analysis incorporated both descriptive and inferential statistical methods to examine the relationship between social adjustment and interpersonal relationships among university adolescents. The fundings yielded a statistically significant positive correlation (R = 0.411, p < 0.01) between interpersonal relationship formation and social adjustment outcomes in the university environment. This moderate correlation coefficient indicates that adolescent students who successfully establish and maintain quality interpersonal relationships demonstrate enhanced social adjustment within the university context. The strength of this correlation (R = 0.411) suggests a meaningful association between these variables, though it also indicates that other factors are likely to contribute to social adjustment outcomes. This empirical evidence underscores the importance of interpersonal relationship development as a key facilitator of successful social adaptation among adolescent university students.

The article is devoted to the study of the place of the client-oriented approach in the management mechanism of web design projects. In the context of the dynamic development of the digital economy, as well as increased competition in the market of services in this area, the task of adapting development processes to individual customer needs becomes urgent.

The purpose of the study is to identify the most effective methods of implementing a client—oriented approach to web design project management and characterize their impact on the final result.

There are contradictions in understanding the optimal level of client participation in the project: on the one hand, high customer engagement helps to ensure that their needs are met, on the other hand, it sometimes significantly slows down the development process and significantly increases costs.

It was concluded that the use of a client-oriented approach, provided that there is a well-organized process of interaction with the customer, can improve the quality of services and customer satisfaction, which, in turn, contributes to the successful implementation of projects.

The novelty lies in the fact that an innovative methodology "Integrative client-centered design" is proposed. It is based on the synthesis of best practices of project management, design thinking, Agile approaches adapted to the specifics of web design projects.

The article will be useful for web design project managers, developers, as well as management and marketing specialists who seek to implement effective strategies for interacting with customers.

This study explores the semantic impact of Greek borrowings in the Albanian language, focusing on how these borrowed terms have been integrated and adapted within the Albanian lexicon. Greek has had a significant influence on Albanian due to historical, cultural, and geographical proximity, particularly in regions with long-standing Greek-Albanian interactions. Through a linguistic analysis, this paper investigates the semantic shifts that occur when Greek words are adopted into Albanian, examining how their meanings may evolve, broaden, or shift in the process of integration. The study also highlights patterns of borrowing, categorizing the borrowed Greek words into various semantic fields, such as religion, trade, governance, and daily life. The paper draws on both historical and contemporary data, using corpora of Albanian texts and interviews with native speakers to analyze the current status and nuances of these borrowings. By shedding light on the semantic relations between Greek borrowings and Albanian meanings, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of language contact, lexical adaptation, and the evolving dynamics of Albanian vocabulary.

The study was carried out to investigate the influence of peer support on adolescent deviant behavior in some selected secondary schools in Mezam Division, Northwest Region of Cameroon. Through a comprehensive mixed-methods approach utilizing a concurrent nested research design, the researchers gathered data from multiple perspectives, including 533 students, 25 disciplinary masters, and 20 guidance counselors across selected secondary schools. The methodological rigor of the study was enhanced by employing various data collection instruments, including questionnaires, interview guides, and focus group discussions. This triangulation of methods allowed for a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics between peer support and behavioral outcomes. The quantitative analysis, conducted using both descriptive and inferential statistics, provided a systematic examination of the relationships between variables. Specifically, the use of Spearman's rho correlation test was justified by the non-normal distribution of the data, as confirmed by normality assumption testing. The qualitative component of the study, analyzed through thematic analysis, complemented the quantitative findings by providing rich, contextual insights into the phenomenon. The study's findings demonstrated a significant negative correlation between peer support and deviant behavior (R-value = -0.237**, p-value 0.000 < 0.05). This inverse relationship indicates that as peer support increases, there is a corresponding decrease in deviant behavior among adolescents. This finding has important implications for educational practice and policy, suggesting that fostering positive peer relationships and support systems within schools could serve as an effective strategy for reducing behavioral problems among adolescent students.

This study analyzes the impact of artistic representation in pregnancy photography on women's self-esteem and self-perception during significant physical and emotional changes. Grounded in Cooley's "Looking-Glass Self" theory and Fredrickson and Roberts's objectification theory, the research examines how external evaluations and cultural norms shape self-perception. Utilizing a qualitative approach, the study explores the dual role of social media as a platform that both supports and challenges women's body image through social comparison and idealized standards. The findings highlight that artistic elements in photography, such as specific lighting techniques and personalized posing, positively influence self-esteem by emphasizing individuality and beauty. Ethical considerations in photo retouching are addressed, advocating for a personalized approach that balances technical possibilities with psychological needs. The novelty of this work lies in its interdisciplinary perspective, combining psychological theories with artistic practices to offer insights for professionals aiming to enhance psychological well-being among pregnant women through supportive photographic experiences.

This study explores the contrasting techniques of implicit and explicit learning in the context of Spanish language acquisition. Implicit learning, often occurring unconsciously through exposure and interaction, contrasts with explicit learning, which is a more deliberate and structured approach to mastering grammar, vocabulary, and other linguistic rules. The paper investigates how these two learning methods influence different aspects of Spanish language development, such as pronunciation, syntax, and vocabulary retention. Through a combination of literature review, experimental analysis, and observation of language learners, this study highlights the strengths and limitations of both approaches. Results indicate that implicit learning is particularly effective for enhancing intuitive language use and fluency, while explicit learning is crucial for mastering complex grammatical structures and formal language rules. By examining the interplay between these two approaches, the study offers insights into their complementary roles in Spanish language acquisition and proposes best practices for language instruction that balance both methods for optimal learning outcomes.
