THE IMPORTANCE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN TERMS OF ITS DEFINITION, CHANGING IMAGE AND REFRAMING IN SOCIETY
Authors: STEINHOFF BRIGITTE
Published: February 2025

This literature review explores the complex landscape of affordable housing, its
international significance and policy implications. The lack of a clear distinction between
affordable and social housing, coupled with challenges in measuring affordability,
underlines the need for tailored policy assessments and indicators. The multifaceted issues
surrounding affordable housing, including quality, sustainability, and barriers to access,
are examined with a focus on Germany. This review focuses on reframing affordable rental
housing as a catalyst for social inclusion and economic growth and provides an academic
contribution by examining the economic and psychological perspectives. The analytical
framework addresses key research questions regarding definitions, levels of acceptance
and potential strategies to counter stigmatisation. The review also explores the nuanced
nature of the affordable housing problem, highlighting its historical complexity and the
lack of a single metric for assessment. It also examines efforts to reframe the stigmatisation
associated with affordable housing, emphasising the role of communication strategies. It
concludes with an examination of German policy programmes aimed at addressing housing
affordability, mark the importance of subsidy programmes and the symbiotic relationship
between investors and public authorities.

The implementation of the university’s philosophy, vision, mission, goals, objectives, and core values (PVMGOC) and student internalization highlight the crucial role these elements play in shaping student experiences and outcomes. This study examines the level of implementation and internalization of the PVMGOC within the Basic Education Department in one of the institutions in Ozamis City. This study utilized a descriptive-correlational design and was conducted on 416 students from the Basic Education department who were selected through stratified random sampling. A researcher-made questionnaire on the implementation and internalization of the PVMGOC was used to gather the data. Mean, Standard Deviation, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient were the statistical tools used in the study to analyze the collected data. The results reveal that the university’s level of implementation of the PVMGOC was very high, with students showing an equally high level of internalization. Furthermore, the analysis found a highly significant relationship between the degree of implementation and the level of internalization among students. The findings suggest that the university’s effective implementation of its PVMGOC has led to a strong integration of these core elements into both institutional practices and student behavior, demonstrating how essential these principles are in shaping the academic and personal development of students. These results contribute to existing knowledge by emphasizing the impact of PVMGOC implementation on fostering holistic student growth.

Authors: Adekeye Daniel Olukayode , Adeyemi Beatrice Bunmi
Published: February 2025

The challenge of nation-building in Nigeria continues to demand the attention of all stakeholders as it constantly threatens political stability and sustainable national development. In addition to its critical role of helping the learner to imbibe requisite civic dispositions, values and skills for peaceful coexistence in a more integrated nation, formal civic education at the Basic Educational levels is expected to create national consciousness, develop and reinforce leadership capacity of learners to establish a much more enduring foundation for sustainable national cohesion. This research examined how civic education at the Middle and Upper Basic Education level has been effective in the realization of the set objectives. Survey and experimentation methodologies were adopted while questionnaires, interviews and role-play were the instruments used for data collection. The study found that the leadership capacity and national consciousness development component of the current civic education among learners within this scope of study is extremely inadequate. This research proposes new learning content and integrated learning methodology in the development and deployment of “the specialised civic awareness learning content for M&UBE learners. The study recommends a review of the civic education curriculum content, training of personnel and adoption of integrated learning methodology.

Authors: Mendez Alarcon Claudia Myrna , Lasekan Olusiji Adebola , Godoy Pena Margot Teresa
Published: February 2025

This qualitative study investigates educators’ concerns about the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education by utilizing social media as a primary data source. The study adopts the Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM) and Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to structure its investigation, providing a comprehensive understanding of how educators perceive and react to AI integration. Through thematic analysis of discussions on platforms such as Reddit, the study identifies various degrees of concern, stages of concern, and types of risks/concerns associated with AI integration. Findings reveal that a significant majority of educators and stakeholders report high levels of concern, with over fifty percent indicating they are 'very concerned' on a Likert scale. The majority are in the 'consequence' stage of concern, where the impact on student outcomes is a significant worry. Functional risks, such as the potential decline in critical thinking and problem-solving skills due to AI reliance, emerged as the most prevalent concern. Other significant concerns include social risks related to the alteration of traditional educational roles and information risks from potential inaccuracies in AI-generated content. The study underscores the complexity of AI adoption in educational settings and highlights the need for targeted interventions to address these multifaceted concerns.

Authors: Pattanaik Sandesh Kumar , Jena Sudipta , Rath Diptirani
Published: February 2025

Arecaceae have more than 2500 species and are widely distributed in tropical, subtropical areas. Caryota mitis (C. mitis), popularly known as Fishtail plants, has been documented in ethno pharmacology in various countries and regions. In ancient times, people used these plants to treat diseases such as headaches, gastrointestinal-associated diseases, snake bite poisoning, wounds, hair loss, diarrhoea, inflammation, tooth ailments, lesions, bronchitis, emetic, etc. Due to its pharmacological properties, C. mitis has recently garnered considerable global interest as a significant medicinal plant. Thus, this study systematically summarized ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, pharmacology activity and potential uses of this plant. The different databases are searched till August 2024, including Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, Science Direct, Research Gate, and Google Scholar using “Caryota mitis L.” OR “Fishtail Plant” with “Pharmacology,” “Phytochemistry,” “Toxicology,” and “Ethnopharmacology” and collects relevant information on C. mitis. The current phytochemical investigation suggests that C. mitis is rich in alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, phenolic, and fatty acids. The purslane extracts, or compounds, exhibited various pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, antitumor, antiplatelet, anti-asthmatic, and antioxidant properties. Based on the review, C. mitis exhibit a variety of phytochemicals that may be offered and continue to be the focus of future research in treating different diseases. Some preliminary in-vitro and in-vivo pharmacological studies of C. mitis have been demonstrated, while other traditional uses still need to be confirmed by research.
Factors Influencing Behavioural Intention To Use DigiLocker Among Users In Mangaluru City: An Extended Technology Acceptance Model Approach
Authors: Dr. Raghavendra  , N Shruthi
Published: February 2025

Purpose: The factors influencing behavioural intention to use (BIU) were examined in this study. DigiLocker, a digital storage platform offered by the Indian government, among individuals in Mangaluru City. This study explored crucial constructs, including Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), self-efficacy (SE), and Social Influence (SI), to ascertain their effects on users' adoption intentions.
Design/methodology/approach: A survey-based quantitative methodology encompassing 200 DigiLocker users in Mangaluru was employed. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was utilised to analyse the relationships among PU, PEOU, SE, SI, and BIU within the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework.
Findings: The results show that all four factors PU, PEOU, SE, and SI significantly influenced BIU. PU emerged as the most robust predictor, demonstrating that users valued the platform's perceived benefits. PEOU also significantly impacted BIU, albeit to a lesser extent than PU, suggesting that ease of use is an essential but secondary motivator. SE significantly contributes to BIU, indicating that users' confidence in their digital abilities fosters their adoption. While significant, SI exhibits a moderate influence on BIU, implying that social endorsements are less critical than individual perceptions of utility and usability.
Practical implications: The findings indicate that DigiLocker developers and policymakers should prioritise enhancing the platform's practical benefits and user-friendliness to facilitate broader adoption. Furthermore, the provision of support resources could potentially augment user self-efficacy, aligning with the user requirements for competence and confidence in utilising digital platforms.
Originality/value: This study contributes to digital adoption literature by examining DigiLocker acceptance in an urban Indian context, providing insights for policymakers regarding the significance of practical benefits over social factors in technology adoption.

Coaching e a produção nacional no século XXI: Manifestações e práticas da organização neoliberal
Authors: Schneider Mauro Rodrigo , Paula Ana Paula Paes de
Published: February 2025

Este artigo propõe-se a analisar a produção acadêmica sobre o coaching no Brasil neste século. Sob a égide do neoliberalismo global, o referencial teórico procura conhecer as intersecções entre os imperativos economicistas e a prática do coaching nas organizações. Neste sentido, buscou-se investigar o conflito entre a racionalidade econômica e a subjetividade humana, assim como exemplificar as construções dos Estudos Organizacionais frente aos cenários contemporâneos. Em relação à abordagem metodológica, este estudo utilizou a bibliometria para levantamento da publicação nacional sobre o tema do coaching no país e, posteriormente, analisou os artigos de acordo com a metodologia de Bardin (2011), tendo como categorias os cinco elementos identificados no referencial teórico: as políticas de recursos humanos, a burocracia, a dominação psicológica, a quantofrenia e a flexibilização do trabalho. A partir do entendimento dos conceitos de organização neoliberal, identificou-se que os estudos do tema confirmam o caráter funcionalista de normatizar e condicionar a existência humana de acordo com os padrões instrumentais do sistema econômico, avessos à condição social e dialógica humana. A prática do coaching no Brasil é idealizada para o desenvolvimento humano de acordo com os padrões neoliberais, ou seja, de acordo com a concepção do homem unidimensional, o ser humano empresa, pois a objetividade organizacional coloniza a subjetividade pessoal de forma a adquirir primazia sobre o agir social.
Oncological Aspects of the Eye Enucleation Procedure
Authors: Nowak Dagmara , Kowal Joanna , Dębicka-Kumela Magdalena , Nowak Agnieszka , Gerba-Górecka Karolina , Romanowska-Dixon Bożena
Published: February 2025

The removal of the eyeball is one of the earliest surgical procedures recorded in the history of medicine. The decision to perform enucleation is challenging for both the patient and the physician, and it is typically considered a last resort when all conservative treatment options have been exhausted. In recent years, the number of enucleation procedures performed for advanced glaucoma and intraocular tumors has significantly declined. This is largely due to advancements in laser technology, surgical techniques, and local treatments for glaucoma, as well as the widespread use of radiation therapy for intraocular tumors. Although enucleation can negatively impact the patient’s quality of life and psychological well-being, it remains the treatment of choice in cases of advanced intraocular tumors, extensive eye injuries that preclude the reconstruction of ocular structures, or painful blind eyes. Fortunately, advancements in orbital implants and modern ocular prostheses now offer patients the possibility of achieving a satisfactory cosmetic outcome.
Five-Element Acupuncture in 1960-1980s Britain
Authors: Yi Yang
Published: February 2025

This paper examines the history of Five-Element Acupuncture – a British reinterpretation of Chinese medicine that became prevalent in the Anglophone world during the second half of the 20th century – as a form of alternative medicine deployed by those seeking alternative lifestyles. It also sheds light on how this alternative medicine negotiated the boundaries between science and culture on the one hand and modernity and tradition on the other. Using oral history interviews with members of the counterculture and the New Age – some of whom embarked on a career as Five-Element acupuncturists – this paper shows the (re)invention and (re)construction of a Chinese medical tradition in late 20th-century British society, a process that embedded alternative values of antiestablishment and personalised holistic healthcare.
A Collaboration Between Mother and Baby
Authors: Runestad Pamela
Published: February 2025

Sophrology has been conceptualised as a method to facilitate patient entry into a psychological state that would improve the efficacy of other health interventions. In this chapter, I describe how sophrology is used in a birth clinic in Japan as a case study. Additionally, I describe how sophrology is explained by three types of Anglophone writers. I argue that sophrology in these contexts is not different from the circulation of scholarly ideas and medical technologies in general, where ideas intermingle and are remade, but that the Anglophone publications on sophrology highlighted here provide clear examples of exotification of Asia. While the adoption of sophrology in Japan may suggest some level of occidentalism, it certainly leads to more questions about how various stakeholders value it. In exploring these points, I demonstrate the need for a critical-reflexive bricolage, whereby readers and writers consider not just who needs to be cited for their audiences but why and how, in order to avoid exoticism and appropriation.
The Influence of Traditional Chinese Medicine on Brazilian Naturology
Authors: Stern Fábio L.
Published: February 2025

This chapter delves into the influence of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on the field of Brazilian naturology over the past 15 years. It examines the incorporation of TCM principles and practices into naturology courses in Brazil, shedding light on the historical and cultural factors that have shaped this healthcare movement. The chapter contends that the integration of TCM has left a significant mark on the trajectory of naturology in the country, providing valuable insights into its ongoing development. Nevertheless, it highlights a crucial point – that the TCM training in Brazilian naturology falls short of the recommendations set forth by the World Health Organization. Additionally, it explores how TCM knowledge has been appropriated through Orientalism, often relegating China-born instructors to the role of mere attractions for students rather than empowering them to devise effective teaching strategies for the subject.
The Cultural Security of Ethnic Groups in Contemporary China and Mongolia
Authors: Ptáčková Jarmila , Klimeš Ondřej
Published: February 2025

The introductory chapter situates the collective monograph’s findings within the existing discussion on cultural security. It introduces its general principles, accentuating common dynamics between a domi-nant and a minor group, and points out direct connection between the perceived degree of cultural security and the need to emphasize, restore, or invent cultural identifiers. In the context of the People’s Republic of China, this chapter discusses how cultural security is perceived by minority nationalities and by the state. It refers to various state stability and institutional dimensions of cultural securitization, as well as horizontal and/or bottom-up mechanisms of cultural security building, and identifies a firm connection between the effectiveness of ethnic and cultural policies and the degree of cultural security perceived by targeted minorities and by the state. In contrast, the case of Mongolia shows how collective identification and participation in national cultural security building can enhance citizens’ cultural self-confidence.
Cultural Survival and National Identity in Contemporary Mongolia
Authors: Lan Mei-hua
Published: February 2025

Mongolia adopted many Russian and Soviet cultural elements during the twentieth century. When Mongolia recovered its de facto independence in the 1990s, it began to emphasize Mongol ethnic and cultural identity. Cultural revival became an important task because it brought a sense of cultural security to Mongolia. Besides China and Russia, Mongolia has also absorbed cultural elements from existing developed countries. This is due not only to the effects of globalization but also to those of Mongolia’s foreign policy of “the third neighbor,” applied to secure its independence. This policy allows Mongolia to participate in a broader global network while creating a new identity. This chapter discusses the shifts of contested Mongolian identity and cultural security in the era after Mongolia adopted its new constitution in 1992.

The Corona Pandemic, Lockdown Dilemma in Indonesia and The Need of The Social-Economic Solidarity: A Lesson from The Past
Authors: Sahrasad Herdi , Mundayat Aris Arif , Chaidar Al
Published: February 2025

This study looks at the different ways in which Muslim academics, ulemas, and clerics in Indonesia in 2020 responded to the Corona (Covid-19) pandemic, and how this led to confusion among people who were not familiar with Islamic principles. They argue that the use of pharmaceutical and medical remedies to combat the Corona pandemic (Covid-19) is in line with the wider human aspiration for global peace and prosperity. Despite setbacks, work continues on this. Emotional responses by some Muslim scholars and religious bodies led to widespread disillusionment and scepticism within and departures from certain Muslim sects. The government also missed a chance to push for more enlightened, humane, and civilised reforms. During the era of producing power, opportunities like this one arise frequently. Many anthropologists and other social scientists who have investigated the profound effects of diseases, pandemics, and natural disasters, whether they result from human error or major climate shifts, are cited as authorities in this context. As a growing nation, Indonesia is undergoing a number of abrupt transformations that have led to widespread societal upheaval with no clear goal in sight. Here they learn from the past that social and economic solidarity is crucial in reducing the global pandemic's devastating effects. The authors employ a qualitative strategy based on document analysis and literature review to back up their findings. They also examine the literature on Islamic beliefs, societal shifts, and the effects of pandemics. Critical discourse analysis is used to analyse how language is used to generate meaning and power relations in the texts, while thematic analysis is used to discover the primary themes and patterns in the data and literature. Muslim academics, ulemas, and clerics are discussed, and their various points of view and arguments are contrasted and analyzed in terms of their consequences for societal reform and unity.

Published: February 2025

Abstract. This research aims to explore how polymorphism in the keratin 27 (KRT27) and ELOVL fatty acid elongase 4 (ELOVL4) genes relates to the production traits of Liaoning cashmere goats (LCGs). PCR-seq was used to detect gene polymorphism in the experimental population DNA, and its correlations with production performance and regression analysis were calculated using the SPSS software. Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at locus 1919G/A was identified within KRT27, and the GG genotype showed superior wool fineness in doe, whereas the GA genotype showed favorable traits in buck. A SNP at locus 28666C/T was identified within ELOVL4, and the CC genotype showed excellent performance for cashmere fineness. The multi-genic effect genotype that affects the fineness of cashmere is a GGTT haplotype combination. Through multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis, it was found that the trait with the greatest direct impact on cashmere production performance and fineness is the cashmere yield rate, with a correlation coefficient of 0.915. The type with the greatest direct impact on lactation performance and cashmere fineness is TS, with a correlation coefficient of 16.369. The pleiotropism genotype that affects the fineness and related traits of cashmere has been determined to be the TT type. The GGTT haplotype combination, as an advantageous genotype that simultaneously affects cashmere fineness and lactation performance, can serve as a molecular marker of cashmere-fineness-assisted selection and provide a theoretical basis for the selection, breeding, and expansion of new fine-fiber strains of LCGs.

Abstract. The thermal regime is a key indicator of permafrost evolution and thaw trajectories in response to climate change, yet it remains inadequately represented in global models. In this study, an efficient and integrated numerical model, the Moving-Grid Permafrost Model (MVPM) was used to simulate the permafrost thermal regime in West Kunlun (WKL), which is approximately 55,669 km² in northwest Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with extreme arid climate conditions. We employed clustering approaches and parallel computing techniques to enhance computational efficiency. The model forcing data, remote-sensing-based land surface temperature (LST) dating back to 1980 with a spatial resolution of 1 km×1 km and a temporal resolution of 1month, was constructed using machine learning techniques that integrate field observations, satellite data and reanalysis products. Our simulations achieved high accuracies of ±0.25 °C for ground temperature and ±0.25 m for active layer thickness, significantly outperforming previous simulations reported to date. The results indicated that the WKL experienced a pronounced warming trend in LST, with an average increase of 0.40 °C per decade from 1980 to 2022. The responses of the permafrost regime to climate warming were closely related to the original thermal conditions shaped by historical climatic evolution. These responses exhibited a distinct altitude-dependent spatial variation and differed according to soil stratigraphic types. Despite the thermal warming trend, the areal extent of permafrost remained relatively stable across the WKL region over the past 43 years, reflecting the slow and lagged response of permafrost to climate warming. These findings are essential for enhancing our understanding of permafrost thaw trajectories, and improving projections of potential future consequences of permafrost degradation with greater accuracy.
Errors in stereoscopic retrievals of cloud top height for single-layer clouds
Authors: Loveridge Jesse , Di Girolamo Larry
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Multi-angle stereoscopic methods are a promising means for retrieving high-resolution cloud volumes and their temporal evolution. Stereoscopic retrievals assume that light emerges from localized points on a surface. We assess the errors introduced by this assumption using synthetic measurements at various wavelengths, solar-viewing geometries, and spatial resolutions generated by applying a 3D radiative transfer model to an ensemble of 841 (8 km)2 cloud fields of varying fractional cover, cloud-top bumpiness, microphysics, and optical depth. We show that stereoscopic retrievals of cloud top height (CTH) have biases that vary from -175 m to +20 m as the cloud-edge extinction profile becomes sharper and absorption increases, all when mean visible cloud optical depth is greater than 5, and with little dependence on instrument resolution between 50 m and 250 m. Stereo CTH fields are smoother than the truth when CTH variability is concentrated at small spatial scales, viewing angles are oblique, and absorption is weak. We attribute this effect to both the smoothing effect of multiple scattering which is stronger at wavelengths with weak absorption, and the ill-posed nature of the retrieval in the presence of non-uniform CTH over the stereo matching window. The standard deviation of stereo CTH errors increases from 25 m to 200 m as the standard deviation of CTH increases to 200 m over the (8 km)2 domain. More than 50 % of stereo retrievals from two different 50 m resolution stereo viewing pairs of (0°, +38°) and (-38°, 0°) are consistent to within 30 m over (500 m)2 regions for clouds with standard deviation of CTH less than 200 m. We analysed airborne lidar observations and found that 75 % of shallow cumulus and all stratocumulus have standard deviations of CTH less than 200 m over 8 km transects.

In today’s unpredictable world, more diverse people contributing and testing more diverse ideas more often, can help solve more problems sooner, and create better opportunities for people and the planet. Unfortunately, regional towns struggle to unlock the abundant ideas and creative energy available in their communities.

Excluded from standard innovation, arts, and culture programs are everyday people who might not be considered creative, innovative, and entrepreneurial, and who may not want to start a business or change the world, yet possess untapped potential for creativity and innovation. Government and industry tend to overlook this resource, too. Therefore, this research initiative, co-led by the QUT Design Lab, the Digital Media Research Centre (DMRC), and in partnership with Townsville-based business DakTech, attempted to understand and activate the untapped cohort in the regional City of Townsville, North Queensland.

his innovative research project prototyped mixed socioeconomic advantaged and disadvantaged participants and connected members from Townsville’s ‘creative underground’ to industry resources, producing pathways and relationships required for socioeconomic development in the regional community.

In addition, the initiative was designed to combat social isolation and loneliness in low-income families and households. Supported by the Queensland Government’s Department of Treaty, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships, Communities and the Arts Communities Innovation Fund, the initiative created a safe accessible space to help people who experience social isolation and loneliness develop a sense of purpose, social connections, digital skills, and personal confidence.

Authors: Tinenti Hemma Gregorius , Kanida Erni
Published: February 2025

Penelitian ini bermula dari kegelisahan penulis terhadap rendahnya penanaman dan pemahaman nilai-nilai moral di kalangan mahasiswa. Pemahaman yang rendah ini ditunjukkan dengan perlakuan mahasiswa yang bertentang dengan moral umum dan moral Kristiani pada khususnya. Pemahaman moral yang baik tentu akan mengantarkan manusia untuk menghargai harkat dan martabat sesama. Oleh karena itu melalui kajian ini, penulis menyuarakan  pesan yang disampaikan Paus Fransiskus dalam dokumen Dignitas Infinita. Penelitian ini dilakukan di kalangan mahasiswa aktif pada program studi Pendidikan Keagamaan Katolik, Sekolah Tinggi Agama Katolik Negeri Pontianak Tahun Akademik 2024/2024. Populasi dari penelitian ini berjumlah 917 mahasiswa dan sampel dari penelitian ini berjumlah 123 mahasiswa. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah metode kualitatif, sedangkan teknik yang digunakan untuk menggali data yaitu menggunakan angket. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah analisis data deskriptif, artinya penulis menjelaskan data hasil penelitian dengan mengaitkan teori bahasan yang ada dalam penelitian ini. Pemaparan angka dan grafik diikuti dengan penjelasan dan analisis penulis untuk menjelaskan hasil penelitian dalam bentuk angka. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa pemahaman siswa masih sangat rendah dalam hal pemahaman moral, baik moral umum maupun moral Kristiani. Maka penulis juga menyarankan agar peneliti selanjutnya melakukan penelitian yang lebih luas mengenai pendidikan moral yang diterapkan dalam keluarga Katolik.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF MECHANISMS OF CREATION OF THE STATE OLICY IN THE FIELD OF INTERNAL SECURITY
Authors: Tatarnikova T.
Published: February 2025

The author develops the mechanisms of creation of the state policy in the field of internal security. The author concludes that as part of the implementation of state-political mechanisms for ensuring public interests, each state forms some priority directions. First of all, this practice is associated with large financial and economic costs in the implementation of the security policy. The second reason is the fundamental impossibility of realizing all the interests and needs of the citizens of the state at once. Another reason for the formation and selection of priorities in state policy is the need to concentrate the maximum amount of resources on those areas that will ensure a high level of realization of the interests of public, social, and political development.

Introduction: The Mandatory Continuing Professional Development Programme (MCPDP) is an important programme for improving the knowledge, skills and competence of nurses, which ultimately translates into the provision of quality patient care. However, despite its importance, the sustainability of the MCPDP in Nigeria is a concern. Aims and Objectives: The study examined the relevance of MCPDP, policy and strategies for sustainability of MCPDP in Southwest Nigeria. The predictors to sustainability were also determined. Methods: The study adopted a cross-sectional design with 230 nurses participating in the monthly programme. The study was conducted at the designated nurses' home in Ibadan, Oyo State. A self-structured questionnaire with a total of 31 items was used for data collection. The data collected were entered into SPSS version 25. Data were presented using frequencies and percentages. Logistic regression was used to test the association between the variables. Results: Respondents were between 50 and 59 years old. The majority (99.6%) of respondents agreed that the MCPDP increases intellectual and professional competence. Respondents believe that MCPDP provides quality, competent training and resources (99.5%). Respondents (94.8%) agreed that the MCPDP helps me keep abreast of new developments in my specialty. About 97.4% of the respondents agreed that the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria should keep the MCPDP consistent, viable and continuous. Majority (99.6%) of the respondents want the nursing and midwifery policy and strategy to be improved to promote the MCPDP. Also, 93.5% agreed that the policy and strategy should be improved at least every two years. The socio-demographic variables such as religion is a predictor (p=.043) showing that there is a need to improve the policy and strategy every two years to improve the MCPDP. Conclusion: The results showed that the majority of respondents perceived the MCPDP as beneficial for enhancing their intellectual, professional and clinical competence. The socio-demographic analysis of the study provided insights into the diverse characteristics of nurses attending the MCPDP, which may inform strategies to improve accessibility and inclusivity.
