Objective: This study aimed to explore and identify the psychological and contextual factors that influence the development of future orientation among teenagers. Methods and Materials: This research employed a qualitative design using semi-structured interviews with 23 adolescent participants aged 13 to 19, selected through purposive sampling from various regions in Turkey. Data collection continued until theoretical saturation was achieved. All interviews were conducted in person or online, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed thematically using NVivo software to extract categories, subcategories, and core concepts that shaped adolescents’ perceptions and behaviors related to their future orientation. Findings: Three main categories emerged from the data analysis: psychological drivers, social and environmental influences, and cognitive and planning capacities. Psychological drivers included hope and optimism, fear of failure, self-identity, motivation and ambition, and emotional regulation. Social and environmental influences comprised parental support, peer influence, school environment, socioeconomic constraints, and community expectations. Cognitive and planning capacities encompassed goal-setting skills, time perspective, decision-making ability, problem-solving skills, information-seeking behavior, and academic self-efficacy. Adolescents’ narratives reflected a complex interplay between internal motivations, emotional resilience, and external support systems in shaping their visions for the future. Direct quotations illustrated how individual aspirations were facilitated or hindered by family, peers, educational access, and cultural norms. Conclusion: The study highlights the multifaceted nature of teenagers’ future orientation and emphasizes the need for supportive family environments, inclusive educational practices, and community engagement to empower adolescents in shaping their futures.

Objective: This study aimed to explore how adolescents from low-income communities in Pakistan perceive and construct hope and future orientation. Methods and Materials: The study employed a qualitative design using semi-structured interviews with 20 adolescents aged 14 to 18 years from low-income urban and semi-urban communities in Pakistan. Participants were selected through purposive sampling to ensure diversity in gender and educational status. Data were collected until theoretical saturation was reached. All interviews were conducted in Urdu, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed thematically using NVivo software. Thematic analysis followed Braun and Clarke’s six-step approach, focusing on identifying patterns related to hope, aspirations, coping mechanisms, and environmental influences. Findings: Thematic analysis revealed four major categories: hope as a psychological resource, barriers to future orientation, future goals and aspirations, and sources of hope and support. Subcategories within these themes included emotional resilience, self-efficacy, spiritual coping, family responsibilities, economic hardship, gender constraints, educational dreams, altruistic goals, and community-based support systems. Adolescents expressed strong internal motivation and aspirational thinking despite significant socio-economic barriers. Support from parents, peers, teachers, and religious beliefs played a key role in sustaining their hope. However, structural challenges such as poverty, school quality, and restrictive gender norms frequently disrupted their goal pursuit. Conclusion: Despite living in disadvantaged conditions, adolescents from low-income communities in Pakistan demonstrate meaningful hope and future orientation. Strengthening psychosocial supports, enhancing educational resources, and addressing structural inequities are essential for nurturing their developmental potential

Purpose: The science of interpretation, as the most important science responsible for understanding the Qur'an, needs to be methodized and updated so that the teachings of the Qur'an can be used easily for all classes of people. In the present study, the meaning of "future research in interpretation" is the ability to create desirable models for more efficient interpretation in the future, by using scientific tools, creativity and relying on the foundations and rules of interpretation and compensating the damages of interpretation in the past.Method: This research, with descriptive analytical method, answers the question, what are the fields and requirements of future research in interpretation? Findings: The results of the current research are based on the fact that special attention to the Qur'an, as the most important source of interpretation, rationality and methodical consideration in interpretation, attention to the prerequisites of interpretation, interpretation based on the requirements of the time, the need to pay attention to thematic interpretation, studying on the history of interpretation and observing the manners and conditions of interpretation are one of the most important requirements of interpretation in the future. Results: Considering the developments that will take place in the field of knowledge, methods and expectations from science in the future, the interpretation will also change. For this reason, in order not to cause various damages to the interpretation of the Qur'an, it is necessary to pay attention to the various contexts, principles and requirements of the interpretation of the Qur'anic commentators and scholars.

Background: Entrococci is a clinically important pathogenic bacterium in UTIs. CHROMagar orientation is a recently method for rapid, easy and economic isolation and identification of entrococci. This study compares the chromogenic media with traditional methods for presumptive identification of entrococci from urine specimen. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 240 gram positive cocci from urine specimens. These isolated microorganisms were inoculated on CHROMagar orientation and were presumptively identified according to manufacturer instruction. The identity of all isolated microorganisms was then confirmed by conventional identification tests and compared with the results obtained from CHROMagar orientation. Results: In this study, the sensitivity and specificity of CHROMagar orientation to identify entrococci, solely, were 100% and 40.8%, respectively. Conclusion: Although CHROMagar orientation was rapid and sensitive method for identification of entrococci in urine culture, CHROMagar orientation alone appeared not to be very specific for entrococci and needed to be combined with other tests for greater exclusivity. So, CHROMagar orientation media is not recommended for routine usages in medical laboratories in Iran.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Positive Career Counseling on career decision-making and future orientation among young adults in Taiwan. Methods and Materials: The study utilized a randomized controlled trial design involving 30 participants from Taiwan, randomly assigned to an experimental group (n = 15) receiving Positive Career Counseling and a control group (n = 15) receiving no intervention. The experimentalgroup participated in nine structured counseling sessions, each lasting 75 to 90 minutes, incorporating strengths-based and future-oriented exercises. Participants completed standardized measures, including the Career Decision-Making Difficulties Questionnaire (CDDQ) and Future Orientation Scale (FOS), at three time points: pre-test, post-test, and a five-month follow-up. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc tests with SPSS-27. Findings: Results indicated significant improvements in career decision-making and future orientation within the experimental group. Repeated measures ANOVA demonstrated significant time × group interactions for career decision-making (F(2, 56) = 16. 21, p <. 001, η² =. 373) and future orientation (F(2, 56) = 19. 11, p <. 001, η² =. 405). Bonferroni post-hoc analyses showed meaningful enhancements from pre-test to post-test for both variables (career decision-making mean difference =-14. 40, p <. 001,future orientation mean difference =-5. 73, p <. 001). Improvements were sustained at the five-month follow-up, while the control group exhibited no significant changes. Conclusion: These results support the effectiveness of integrating positive psychology and structured future-oriented exercises into career interventions, emphasizing their potential for long-term impact. Such interventions should be adapted for broader populations toenhance career preparedness and psychological resilience in culturally diverse contexts.

Purpose: The future of the construction industry is increasingly influenced by new technologies.
