“…Researchers should leave aside their expertise and approach the phenomena with a fresh viewpoint based on the descriptions of the participants. Transcendental refers to a state in which everything is viewed anew, as though for the first time (Nasir, 2019). Although this condition is seldom attained exactly, the researcher must be aware of the necessity for bracketing and focus as much as possible on the participant's account (Murray & Wilde, 2020).…”

Transportation practices in rural areas that cover indigenous entrepreneurs as the next frontier for conscious travel and for good reason with a shortage of public transport and facilities availability in the surrounding business areas. Many indigenous entrepreneurs opt to ride motorcycles and walk to run with their business activities. The future growth of indigenous entrepreneurship in the country is reliant on the implementation of transportation practices among them. These practices will ensure their business success and transport availability in rural areas. The challenge is that there are no dedicated solutions for this. Thus, this study explores the transportation practices among indigenous entrepreneurs due to the transportation industry becoming more complex as the number of vehicles and miles driven on the roads increases. Meanwhile, in rural areas especially, people have limited transportation options. A qualitative study based on interview interactions was administered to several indigenous entrepreneurs. The interview assessed the sociodemographic factors and transportation practices drawn from tools used in existing studies. Findings of this paper addressed challenges and limitations that indigenous entrepreneurs faced and hope to provide indigenous entrepreneurs with better access to markets, finance, and technology which will lead to greater economic development and progress in the country.

“…Spirituality can be regarded as being connected to everything and knowing that it goes beyond every person to something much bigger than all of us together [25,26]. Spiritual connectedness may be perceived as having a vertical dimension of relationship with the transcendent/God and a horizontal dimension with others, thus resulting in a change in values, beliefs, and interactions with others [27,28].…”

Depression is a common, depleting, and potentially life-threatening disorder. This pilot study examined the feasibility and applicability, reported preliminary evidence for effectiveness, and explored the potential healing mechanisms of a faith-based spiritual intervention for people with depression. The intervention consisted of six weekly sessions focused on restoring a connection with the divine, forgiveness and freedom, suffering and transcendence, hope, gratitude, and relapse prevention. Seven adults with mild or moderate depressive symptoms were recruited. A qualitative evaluation was conducted via focus group discussions, and rating scales were administered at baseline, after the intervention, and at the 3-month follow-up. The mean difference scores of the treatment’s effect over time were analyzed using Friedman’s ANOVA. The themes identified by the focus group included the meaning of the spiritual intervention, the effect of involvement in a spiritual group, and the therapeutic components. The results indicated a significant decrease in the mean scores for depression (PHQ-9) after intervention and at the 3-month follow-up. Participants expressed their improvement in terms of increased knowledge about depression, enhanced coping mechanisms, and improved self-esteem. The preliminary evidence suggested that the faith-based spiritual intervention was effective in reducing depressive symptoms and also helped participants develop a greater sense of connection with themselves, others, and their environment.
