Authors: Zaman Khan Sharmin
Published: June 2023

Introduction: Cervical Cancer is the second most common cancer among women worldwide. It is one of the few preventable human cancers. Maternal knowledge is required for vaccination of their adolescent girls because they are key decision makers and potentially a major source of information for their daughters. Bangladesh Government will introduce HPV vaccine under EPI program for adolescent girls aged 10 years from 2018. For this reason, it is important to assess the knowledge level of mothers of daughters aged below 10 years. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge of Cervical Cancer transmission, prevention and HPV vaccine among mothers of daughters aged below 10 years. Methods: A cross sectional descriptive study has been conducted among the mothers of daughters aged below 10 years, live in the Mohakhali ‘Sat Tola’ slum area of Dhaka city. The pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect information from the respondents by face to face interview at house-hold level. Questions were on socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge about Cervical Cancer transmission, prevention and HPV vaccination. Convenient sampling technique was used to select the sample. The sample size was 100 in number. The total no. of questions on knowledge was 22. Knowledge score was divided into 3 categories: poor, average and good knowledge. Poor knowledge score was 0 to 7, average knowledge score was 8 to 14 and good knowledge score was 15 to 22. Frequency, percentage and mean was done by using SPSS version 21. Results: Majority (41%) respondents’ age was 21 to 29 years, most (63%) of them were primary school educated, most (80%) of them were house-wife and most (43%) of their monthly family income was 11,000 to 15,000 taka. Respondent’s mean age at marriage was 15 years and mean age was 17 years when their first child born, majority (39%) had two children. In total, 55% respondents had poor knowledge, 45% respondents had average knowledge and 2% respondents had good knowledge. Among them 98% respondents heard about cancer, 77% respondents heard about Cervical Cancer, 8% respondents knew about sign and symptom and only 2% respondents knew the causes of Cervical Cancer, 3% respondents told prevention of Cervical Cancer is possible but 12% respondents heard about VIA test. Around 18% respondents heard about HPV vaccine but nobody knew in which age this vaccine should be administered. Conclusion: The knowledge of Cervical Cancer transmission, prevention and HPV vaccination among mothers who live in slum of Dhaka city is poor. Providing knowledge to these mothers is essential
Relationships between Iodine and Some Trace Elements in Normal Thyroid of Females Investigated by Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescent Analysis
Authors: Zaichick Vladimir
Published: June 2023

Objective: Thyroid diseases rank second among endocrine disorders, and prevalence of the diseases is higher in the elderly as compared to the younger population. Women are affected by thyroid diseases almost ten times more often than men. An excess or deficiency of trace element contents in thyroid play important role in goitro- and carcinogenesis of gland. Study Design: The correlations with age of the seven trace element (TE) contents (Br, Cu, Fe, I, Rb, Sr, and Zn), I/Br, I/Cu, I/ Fe, I/Rb, I/Sr, and I/Zn ratios, and inter relationships between TE contents and I/TE content ratios in normal thyroid of 33 females (age range 3.5-87 years) was investigated by radionuclide-induced energy dispersive X-ray fluorescent analysis. Results: Our data reveal that the Rb and Zn content increase, while I/Cu and I/Zn content ratios decrease in the normal thyroid of female during a lifespan. Therefore, a goitrogenic and tumorogenic effect of disturbance in intrathyroidal I, Cu, and Fe relationships with increasing age may be assumed. Furthermore, it was found that the levels of Cu, Fe, Rb, Sr, and Zn in the thyroid gland are interconnected and depend on the content of I in it. Conclusions: Because I plays a decisive role in the function of the thyroid gland, the data obtained allow us to conclude that, along with I, such TEs as Cu, Fe, Rb, Sr, and Zn, if not directly, then indirectly, are involved in the process of female thyroid hormone synthesis.
Differences of Relationships between Iodine and Some Chemical Elements in Normal Thyroid and Thyroid Benign Nodules Revealed by Neutron Activation and Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry
Authors: Zaichick Vladimir
Published: June 2023

Thyroid benign nodules (TBN) are the most common lesions of this endocrine gland. The etiology of TBN is not clear. The aim of this exploratory study was to examine differences in the content of such chemical elements (ChEs) as Al, B, Ba, Br, Ca, Cl, Cu, Fe, I, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, P, S, Si, Sr, V and Zn, as well as differences in I/ChEs content ratios in tissues of normal thyroid and TBN. Thyroid tissue levels of ChEs were prospectively evaluated in 105 apparently healthy persons and in 79 patients with TBN. Measurements were performed using neutron activation analysis combined with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. It was observed that in TBN the mass fraction of Al, B, Br, Cl, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Na, P, S, Si, V, and Zn were higher whereas mass fractions of Ca and I were lower than in normal tissues of the thyroid. It was found also that the I/Al, I/B, I/Br, I/Cl, I/Cu, I/K, I/Mg, I/Mn, I/Na, I/P, I/S, and I/Zn mass fraction ratios in TBN were significantly lower the normal levels. Furthermore, it was shown that the levels of Al, B, Ba, Br, Ca, Cl, Cu, Fe, I, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, P, S, Si, Sr, V and Zn contents in the normal and affected thyroid gland were interconnected and depend on the content of I in thyroid tissue. Because I plays a decisive role in the function of the thyroid gland, the data obtained allow us to conclude that, along with I, such ChEs as Al, B, Ba, Br, Ca, Cl, Cu, Fe, I, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, P, S, Si, Sr, V and Zn, if not directly, then indirectly, are involved in the process of thyroid hormone synthesis. It follows that for the normal functioning of the thyroid gland, it is necessary to maintain an adequate concentration of I in its tissue, balanced with the levels of other ChE. An imbalance between I content and levels of other ChEs in the thyroid gland may be one of the causes of nodular neoplasms

Authors: Ahmed Ali Ismai
Published: June 2023

Background: Surgical treatment of pelvic floor dysfunctions carries frequent recurrences. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role dynamic MRI defecography in demonstrating the underlying anatomic and pathophysiologic background of pelvic floor disorders in these patients to guide surgical approach and minimize failure. Methods: Patients underwent perineal examination, conventional defecography, anorectal manometry, colonoscopy, and MRI defecography. The different pelvic floor morphologies were recorded. The type of treatment, whether conservative or surgical, was also recorded. Results: In total, 33 patients were included, with mean age 46.78 ± 10.51 years and the majority (69.7 %) of patients were female. 31 patients (93.9 %) with perineal descent, 21 patients (63.6 %) with rectoceles , 19 patients (57.57 %) with cystoceles, 4 patients (12.1 %) with enteroceles, 15 patients (45.4 %) with intussusceptions, 14 patients (42.2 %) with uterine prolapse and 12 patients with dyskinetic puborectalis muscle. The findings of dynamic MRI defecography were consistent with clinical results in 54.54 % with additional diagnostic parameters in 45.45 % of patients. Dynamic MRI findings changed treatment decision in 15 (45.5 %) patients with surgical treatment performed in 21 patients (63.6 %) and conservative treatment in 12 patients (36.3 %). Conclusion: Dynamic MRI defecography represents an essential diagnostic procedure in females and to a lesser extent in males, especially in terms of dynamic imaging of the pelvic floor organs during defecation. In addition to the clinical assessment, dynamic MRI defecography had clinical impact in pelvic floor dysfunction and interdisciplinary treatment decisions

Published: June 2023

This study aims to provide an analysis of TOEFL results and examine the challenges faced by non-English study program students when tackling TOEFL exam questions. The study adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, with a sample size of 30 students selected through purposive sampling from a larger population of 100 students. Data collection involved the administration of TOEFL tests and conducting interviews. The findings indicate that among the different sections of the TOEFL, Listening Comprehension posed the greatest difficulty for the participants, followed by Reading Comprehension and Structure and Written Expression. Based on the conclusions drawn from the data and explanations, it can be inferred that participants encountered the most challenges in the Listening Comprehension section of the TOEFL exam. Specifically, they struggled with long conversations, spoken passages, and short conversations in sequential order. The second most challenging section for students was Structure and Written Expression. Furthermore, the analysis reveals that within the three TOEFL sections, Structure was perceived as more difficult than Written Expression. In contrast, Reading Comprehension appeared to be the easiest section. The findings suggest that identifying difficult words presented the most significant challenge in Reading Comprehension, while identifying topics, explanatory sentences, and references were considered relatively easier. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the specific difficulties faced by non-English study program students when attempting TOEFL exam questions, highlighting the areas that require further attention and support in their language learning journey

Energy capacity of the geothermal resource and its integration in the electrical energy demand of the island of Tenerife (Spain)
Authors: F. Montesdeoca-Martínez  , S. Velázquez-Medina
Published: June 2023

One of the main strategies to maximize renewable energy penetration in electrical systems is to optimize their dispatchable capacity. One of the benefits of geothermal energy, as a renewable energy source, is its high dispatchability. The isolated electrical energy system of Tenerife (one of the 8 islands of the Canary Archipelago) is highly dependent on fossil fuels. The advanced state of maturity of the geothermal exploration of Tenerife positions the island with a high degree of probability as one of the few regions in Spain with high-enthalpy geothermal resources. This paper reports on a study undertaken of the island’s geothermal potential which involved calculation of the heat stored in geothermal reservoirs and the identification of zones of interest for exploitation of this resource and its energy capacity. Among the results obtained, 3 areas of interest were identified for the exploitation of geothermal energy with a total installable electrical power of 117.8 MW, which would increase the renewable contribution to the island’s daily demand by over 20% as well as contribute to maximizing the flexibility and stability of the electrical energy supply in a scenario of high renewable energy penetration.

Published: June 2023

Biodiesel production and use are becoming more prevalent across North America and Europe as fueling stations become equipped with biodiesel pumps at a continually increasing rate. As petroleum reserves become depleted, the price of petroleum-based diesel will increase, while biodiesel prices are expected to decrease due to increased supply. Biodiesel is produced through transesterification of oils or fats and can be used in unmodified diesel engines. This makes biodiesel an ideal petroleum-based-diesel substitute as car manufacturers and consumers will not experience manufacturing cost changes. Algae are efficient for biodiesel production because they are about 50% by mass oil, which can be used to make biodiesel fuel. Algae can also grow in areas where other plants cannot be grown such as salt water or polluted areas. Additionally, algae grown near power plants will consume the emitted CO2 and use it for photosynthesis. This article reports the results of a student capstone design project, in which a small reactor for biodiesel production was built using a vertical design. It produced 1420 ml (48 fl. oz.) of algae, which resulted in a net production of 591 ml (20 fl. oz.) of lipid oil through refreezing the algae. We were able to produce 532 ml (18 fl. oz.) of biodiesel fuel in less than 11 weeks.
Optimal active power control of wind turbines in grid-forming mode
Authors: Bashar Mousa Melhem  , Steven Liu
Published: June 2023

Together with the daily variation of load demand in power grids, the continuous integration of offshore and onshore wind farms to feed the grid with green energy has recently led to a severe frequency stability issue due to the extra variation in the generation side. Hence, wind turbines (WTs), among other renewable energy units are required to regulate their output power to mitigate the fluctuation in generated power and support frequency stability. In this paper, model predictive control (MPC) is implemented in an adaptive way to operate WT in de-loading mode under wind disturbances. In addition, to get comprehensive operation of WTs and meet grid code requirements; we present a new grid-forming controller in the WT rotor side converter to emulate the inherent synchronizing and load sharing property of conventional generators. The limitations of rotor speed and rotor side converter are considered in the proposed control approach

Authors: A. Moschella  , D. Amato  , A. Gagliano
Published: June 2023

Nowadays, visual comfort in classrooms is considered crucial for the quality of students' learning processes. In Italy (1888 and 1901), many educational buildings, which constitute a cluster of historic school buildings, were built following specific national regulations. These buildings are characterized by the careful design of the classrooms both in relation to the orientation and their size. Among the design criteria, educational buildings structures had taken into account the orientation of the facades, as well as the arrangement and size of windows and other light inputs The study presented in this paper is aimed at evaluating if these educational buildings, designed according to ancient rules, are able to meet today's standards of visual comfort. With this purpose, the assessment of lighting levels, luminance distribution, average daylight factor, and daylight autonomy (DA) was carried out for all classrooms for a case study, typologically representative of this school buildings' cluster. The daylight analysis showed that most classrooms were subject to glare and lack of uniformity of illumination, while in other environments low values of illuminance levels were found. However, it is believed that a lighting refurbishment, respectful of the cultural value of these historic school buildings, can be considered.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengelolaan dan pembinaan Perbasi Tanah Karo Tahun 2020. Metode penelitian ini adalah kualitatif artinya permassalah yang dibahas bertujuan, untuk dapat menggambarkan atau menguraikan tentang keadaan atau fenomena yang Ada atau proses penelitian untuk memahami masalah manusia atau sosial, berdasarkan pada tatanan yang kompleks, gambaran yang holistik, disusun dengan kata-kata, melaporkan pandangan detail para informan dan dilaksanakan pada latar alamiah atau natural. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Perbasi Karo. Kemudian dilakukan pada Januari 2020 s/d Maret 2020. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan : 1) observasi, 2) wawancara dan 3) dokumen. Waktu penelitian dilaksanakan pada Mei 2019 s/d Juni 2019. Teknik analisis data dapat dilakukan dengan 1) observasi 2) wawancara 3) dokumentasi 4) gabungan/triangulasi. Berdasarkan masalah dan tujuan peneletian serta hasil analisis data dan uraian deskriptif, sebagaimana sudah diuraikan sebelumnya, maka dapat ditarik simpulan sebagai berikut Dalam tahap planning Perbasi Karo sudah baik dan yang menjadi masalah dasar pada Perbasi Karo adalah dimana sulitnya mendapatkan donatur sehingga sarana dan prasarana sulit dilengkapi, serta rekrutmen yang dilakukan melalui kegiatan ekstrakurikuler. Solusi yang ditawarkan dalam penelitian ini adalah dengan membangun mitra kepada pemerintah Kabupaten Karo ataupun KONI serta instansi swasta, apalagi olahraga tim ini sangat diminati masyarakat luas. Pada tahap organizing Perbasi Karo sudah baik dan menjalankan tugasnya dengan baik. Kelemahan pada organizing Perbasi Karo adalah bahwa anggota pengurus yang terbilang sedikit, kemudian pengurus yang belum memiliki kejelasan status pada KONI Sumatera Utara membuat ruang kerja pengurus terbatas, serta masalah pendanaan. Solusi yang ditawarkan adalah bahwa pengurus Perbasi Karo harus berkomunikasi dengan KONI Kabupaten Karo dan KONI Sumatera Utara guna diadakannya musyawarah daerah yang jelas sehingga Perbasi Karo bisa fokus dalam membina atlet. Untuk tahap actuating sendiri Perbasi Karo sudah sangat baik, hanya saja kendala terdapat pada pendidikan tambahan pelatih seperti pelatihan masih mengikuti pelatihan yang terbatas. Dan solusinya adalah pengurus Perbasi Karo harus memberikan subsidi pada pelatih untuk mengikuti pelatihan guna meningkatkan kompetensi latihan dan meningkatkan pembinaan prestasi olahraga bola basket. Secara menyeluruh pada controlling sudah baik karena tetap ada proses evaluasi, tapi alangkah baiknya jika Perbasi Karo mengadakan controlling tidak pada latihan saja melainkan evaluasi pelatih, kinerja pengurus sehingga semua mendapatkan porsi kerja yang maksimal nantinya.

ABSTRAKPragmatisme merupakan sifat atau ciri seseorang yang cenderung berfikir praktis, sempit dan instant. Orang yang mempunyai sifat pragmatis ini menginginkan segala sesuatu yang dikerjakan atau yang diharapkan ingin segera tercapai tanpa mau berfikir panjang dan tanpa melalui proses yang lama.Pendidikan jasmani dan olahraga berhubungan dengan pragmatism ini yang merupakan pengetahuan yang kita tekuni sejak sudah belajar di bangku sekolah dasar. Dalam hal pendidikan, pandangan pragmatis John Dewey menyatakan bahwa pendidikan diarahkan untuk menyelesaikan masalah yang saat ini muncul sehingga metode yang disarankan digunakan dalampembelajaran adalah problem solving. Melalui penggunaan metode problem solving dan mengisyaratkan bahwa pendidikan adalah sebuah proses yang tidak memiliki akhir dan berlakunya rekonstruksi pengalaman. Secara khusus, implikasi filsafat pragmatisme John Dewey dalam bidang pendidikan di Indonesia berdasarkan kurikulum yang berlaku adalah penggunaan metode problem solving yang digunakan untuk menghadapi kehidupan mendatang. Hal ini sangat sesuai dengan pola pembelajaran berdasarkan kurikukum pendidikan yang saat ini berlaku di Indonesia. Keywords:  Pragmatisme, Pendidikan , Problem solving, Pendidikan jasmani dan olahraga

"Diabetes is a complex endocrine disease with a series of complications and it represents a significant public health concern globally and regionally in Romania. Specific aspects of motivation as well as mental wellbeing are considered to be related to diabetes management. When the psychological needs are supported, people experience better quality motivation, higher sense of wellbeing and tend to maintain desirable behaviors. Our objective was to examine the predictive role of motivation and wellbeing variables on glycemic control in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in Transylvania, Romania. We also targeted other relevant factors (demographic parameters, clinical illness characteristics, diabetes-related knowledge) which influence optimal glycemic control. Participants (N=232) were Hungarian speaking adult patients from Transylvania, Romania, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Demographic and clinical data sets were collected. Participants completed a set of questionnaires developed to measure motivational dimensions, subjective wellbeing and diabetes-related knowledge. Targeted motivation variables were established based on Self-Determination Theory. The study followed an observational correlational design. Hierarchical multiple regression models were used to investigate the predictors of glycemic control. Results show that perceived competence and autonomous motivation have increased predictive power on optimal glycemic control, but the effect of motivation is partially mediated by wellbeing components. Illness related characteristics like vascular complications, comorbidities and illness duration proved to be essential predictors of glycemic control. Illness duration seemed to have a specific effect on glycemic control for patients living in Transylvania, longer duration predicts better glycemic control. Future research should examine the topic using an experimental design. Keywords: type 2 diabetes, glycemic control, autonomy, competence, relatedness, wellbeing, illness characteristics, diabetes-related knowledge"

"Theory of mind is the ability that allows us to decipher human behavior by understanding the desires, beliefs, intentions, and motivations of others and our own. It also permits us to predict others’ behavior and model our own in order to act morally toward others. Moral judgment (the ability to appraise whether an intention or the outcome of an action is good or bad) involves mental state understanding, especially when detecting other’s intentions. Because the relationship between theory of mind and moral judgment in early and middle childhood is far from being clearly understood, we conducted a scoping review that allowed us to advance valuable avenues for future research. Of the 34 papers initially identified in five databases (Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus, PsycInfo, and ResearchGate), 20 studies were eligible and analyzed concerning their main results and the assessments used for both theory of mind and moral judgment. Most studies reported a direct relationship (one study identifying even bidirectional links) between the two variables of interest. A discussion regarding the implications and future directions is put forward to advance research in children’s understanding of their worlds (internal and external) in a socio-moral way.

Published: June 2023

Este artículo analiza la vida de Salvador Medrano, trabajador migrante y figura de segundo orden, que vivió la transición del porfirismo a la revolución mexicana. Se argumenta que adentrarse en sus vivencias resulta valioso pues abarcan un periodo de cambios en la historia de México y Estados Unidos y ayudan a comprender la forma en la que una amplia zona de ambos países se transformó a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX. A lo largo de su vida, Medrano radicó en centros de trabajo del norte de México y del suroeste estadounidense que se formaron a partir de crecientes inversiones de capital. Más aún, participó en una revuelta política que intentó defenestrar al régimen de Díaz en 1893, y ya entrado el siglo XX, se sumó al Partido Liberal Mexicano y a la revolución mexicana.

Rzeszow Castle: History and Contemporaneity - proposal for a new interior adaptation
Authors: Gołąbek Kamila , Gosztyła Marek , Mikrut-Kusy Agata
Published: June 2023

This paper discusses the adaptation of Rzeszow Castle in Rzeszow, Poland (also called the Castle of the House of Lubomirski in Rzeszow), which is a key building on the Subcarpathia’s map of monuments. The objective of the project was to identify the latest trends in conservation art, and, subsequently, to create a proposal for a contemporary interior arrangement for the castle and its site development. The aforementioned design work focused on creating new, innovative concepts for the revalorization of historical buildings, oriented towards development and modernity. The work presents bold, novel – and most importantly – workable solutions for a new functional programme for Rzeszow Castle. The main premise of the future modification of the monument was a complete change of use of the building: from administrative and office space (the current court) to a cultural facility with complementary functions. The proposals presented in the paper are aligned with new principles of cultural environment preservation, and primarily emphasize ideas that facilitate the development of culture and art, social engagement, and support new initiatives. The aforementioned new functional programme complements cultural facilities and events offered by the city of Rzeszow - the capital of the Subcarpathia Voivodeship (one of Poland's sixteen provinces). The article is based on thorough scientific and historical research. The characteristics of the building are presented, with focus on its architectural value, and the current state of preservation of the monument is described. The analysis of the functional-utility program became the basis for creating a contemporary and modern interior design. The final version of the interior plan was developed based on field studies and source research.
Transdisciplinary collaboration in architecture: Integrating microalgae biotechnologies for human and non-human perspectives
Authors: Miškovičová Veronika , Masojídek Jiří
Published: June 2023

This article investigates the role of architectural research in addressing the current ecological, geopolitical, and socioeconomic challenges by exploring the potential of symbiotic ecosystems, particularly microorganisms such as microalgae, in architectural and design applications. Microalgae biotechnologies have the potential to offer a wide range of applications in architecture and design, encompassing small-scale objects, living systems on building exteriors, as well as urban and rural scenarios, thereby allowing for systematic research. When using these biotechnologies in architectural designs, it is crucial to consider maintenance requirements, environmental impacts, and the potential for enhancing public spaces and society across various dimensions in both short-term and long-term perspectives, and potential environmental impacts before implementing microalgae-based systems in real-life scenarios. This study describes a collection of interdisciplinary projects and research that involve microbiology, architecture, and design and proposes various experimental scenarios concerning the integration of both human and non-human perspectives. Through collaborative academic efforts, these projects demonstrate the potential for combining microalgae cultivation with architectural applications. The projects include Photosynthetic Landscape, a modular photobioreactor system, Synthesizing/Distancing which addresses coexistence in global epidemics, Biotopia, a permanent interior installation incorporating microalgae, Exchange Instruments, a semi-closed cultivation system, and Cultivated Environment, a small-scale microalgae cultivation apparatus. The article highlights the implication of controlled environments, maintenance, and interdisciplinary cooperation while showcasing the potential for these systems.

Authors: Borisov Borislav , Kostov Iliyan , Nikolova Gergana
Published: June 2023

The digital transformation enters all spheres of public currently. At the same time, it does not take place at the same pace and scale everywhere. Bulgaria delays behind the most European countries in terms of the levels of the Digital Technology Penetration Index (DESI). In the presented research, the reasons for the delaying of digitization are sought, especially in the veterinary sector. In this regard, the subject of the present work is the introduction of special digital technologies to help the veterinary doctors. The aim is to reveal the reasons for the delay and to identify recommendations for a more successful introduction of modern software products and platforms in the veterinary sector. An online survey was conducted among 211 veterinarians of different professional categories and veterinary students, which revealed the main problems before the introduction of innovation and digitalization, taking into account that one of them is the aging of the veterinarians employed in it. The recommendations are made to increase their computer skills and digital competence through training, to emphasize the possibilities of digital innovation in the education of veterinary students, to develop special software products to assist veterinary professionals and the benefits for the veterinary sector are outlined from the introduction of digital innovations.
An Attempt to Measure and Model Women’s Attitudes to Saving for Retirement
Authors: Hernik Joanna , Sagan Adam
Published: June 2023

Research background

Because of the convergence of demographic, political, and economic trends, retirement has become a significant stage of human life, which currently requires thoughtful and careful planning. Therefore, social pension schemes – a type of system under which the benefits are being provided – and women’s individual saving decisions should give consideration to the fact that it is necessary to accumulate additional funds which should be sufficient for several decades after retirement.

Purpose

Social pension schemes are widely discussed in all European countries, and in this context we can pose the following question: What is it exactly that makes women save for retirement? This paper has two objectives: to identify the factors that encourage women to save and to measure these factors and develop a model which shows correlations.

Research methodology

A questionnaire survey was used for collecting the primary data. Subsequently, the analysis is based on 4 indexes created for the purposes of this paper. Then, the indexes were estimated on the basis of the unidimensional two-parameter IRT model, rho and CR coefficients, and multiple-group logistic regression analysis.

Novelty

The conducted calculations lead to the conclusion that regardless of age, several factors are statistically significant for the whole analysed group, e.g. a place of residence. This is the first paper that shows determinants important for women when it comes to saving for retirement.
