Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance in CuGaS2 Nanoparticles Dictated by Crystal Phase
Authors: Sano Keito , Packwood Daniel , Sakamoto Masanori
Published: January 2025

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) is widely applied in photo-functional technologies such as photocatalysis and solar cells. Research into LSPR materials has recently extended to semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs) because their composition and structure flexibility allow for tuning of optical properties. However, many of the crystallographic factors governing the LSPR of semiconductor NPs are not understood due to the difficulty of controlling the crystal structure of NPs. Here we report for the first time on the crystal structure and size-controlled synthesis of CuGaS2 (CGS) NPs which are typical I-III-VI semiconductors. Moreover, we investigate their LSPR properties to reveal the crystal structure dependence of LSPR extinction. Chalcopyrite and wurtzite CGS (c-CGS and w-CGS, respectively) dictate LSPR in the NIR region. The extinction coefficient of c-CGS was approximately 3 times larger than that of w-CGS because of the larger polarizability of c-CGS. Semiconductors with larger polarizability are better candidates as NIR light-harvesting materials for plasmon-based photocatalysis and solar cells. These results should significantly deepen our understanding of semiconductor plasmonics and serve as a foundation for developing highly efficient energy conversion systems.

Atomistic Dipolar Catalysis: Rules for Catalyst Polarization, Reactant Activation and Conversion
Authors: Sun Changqing , Nie Chunyang , Huang Yongli , Zhou Yong , Zhang Lei , Wang Biao
Published: January 2025

As the extremely-sized nanocrystals and nanopores, an adatom (M) and atomic vacancy (V0) exhibit extraordinary catalysis capability, yet understanding the catalyst-reactant interfacial bonding and electronic dynamics remains a challenge. With the aid of density functional theory calculations, we examined the dehydrogenization of CH4 catalyzed using Rh(111;100), W(110), Ru(0001) surfaces, and monolayer graphene, with and without M or V0 as prototypes to prove the concept of atomistic dipolar catalysis (ADC) that unifies the effects of atomic under- and hetero-coordination. Results confirmed that the three-stage ADC follows the respective regulations: First, atomic irregular coordination creates atomistic MP and vacancy V0 dipoles generating stronger local electric fields; second, the interplay of the (X = MP/V0):H attraction and X:C repulsion at the X:H–C interface activates the reactant by stretching the H–C bond, with the “:” denoting the negative pole of the X; and finally, the efficiency of the reactant conversion depends on the charge quantity of the X dipoles. The development should impact on devising efficient catalysts and provide deeper insight into ADC bonding and electronic dynamics.

From environmental impact statements to regulatory impact assessments, there are a variety of analyses in the United States that measure sustainability to inform federal, state, and/or local decision-making. Without procedures to ensure meaningful inclusion of Indigenous Knowledge and respect for Indigenous sovereignty, we find that many assessments currently jeopardize the discovery and development of truly sustainable solutions. Specifically, we evaluate how 17 different kinds of assessments (mis)align with Anishinaabe Gikendaasowin (Knowledge) on Asemaa, Ma’iingan, and the Seventh Fire prophecy – teachings that guide sustainable relationships between Physical, Plant, Animal, and Human Worlds. Our analysis is rooted in Anishinology and Two-Eyed Seeing, practices that together guide our approach to bridging Anishinaabe Gikendaasowin and Western scientific Knowledge and elucidate a more robust understanding of sustainability. “Sustainability” stands at a crossroads; ultimately, this analysis provides guidance for improving assessment protocols to ensure that current sustainability efforts do not repeat injustices of the past.
A study on brauer group and brauer diagrams
Authors: P Sharmila
Published: January 2025

The Brauer group, an important concept in algebra, plays a pivotal role in the study of central simple algebras and their classification. This paper explores the algebraic structures underlying the Brauer group, emphasizing its connections with division algebras, Galois cohomology, and class field theory. We delve into the properties and operations that define the Brauer group, examining how these properties extend across various algebraic and geometric contexts. Additionally, Brauer diagrams, visual representations of elements in the Brauer group, are studied for their applications in tensor categories, quantum algebra, and knot theory. Through a combination of theoretical analysis and illustrative examples, this work aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between the Brauer group and Brauer diagrams, shedding light on their significance in modern mathematical research.

Published: January 2025

In recent years, stress tests have emerged as one of the best ways to assess fitness and health of athletes. However, there is some controversy as to their ability to replicate the actual physiological needs generated during competition. The aim of the study was to compare the levels of various physiological variables measured during laboratory stress tests with those observed during competition. Heart rate, blood lactate, blood pressure, rate of perceived effort and stress level were analysed in ten amateur male basketball players, during three maximal laboratory tests (TREADMILL, CYCLE and Wingate test), and in five official competition games. The level of significance for the study was set at p≤.05. Statistically significant differences between the physiological needs of competitive matches and those of stress tests were reported (p<.05). Furthermore, the time during which a higher HR was recorded during the competition compared to the HR obtained during the stress tests was calculated. This time was 12.36 ± 9.21% of the Live Time (LT) on TREADMILL, 35.04 ± 11.78% of the LT on CYCLE and 63.75 ± 11.57% of the LT on Wingate. The results suggest that laboratory stress tests do not reproduce the physiological requirements of amateur basketball players during competition.

The main factors influencing the need for postpartum health management were education level, delivery experience, pregnancy complications/complications, and postpartum sleep (P < 0.05).
Advances in Cytokine Research and Therapeutic Strategies for Ulcerative Colitis
Authors: Zhang Yixin , Long Xinyi , Lian Huijuan
Published: January 2025

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic intestinal inflammatory disease with complex causes that are closely associated with environmental, genetic, and immune factors. However, the precise etiology and pathogenesis remain under investigation in clinical practice. Extensive research has demonstrated that cytokines play a pivotal role in the development, occurrence, and prognosis of UC, with an imbalance between pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory factors being a significant contributor. Given that UC is challenging to cure, therapeutic options such as hormones and aminosalicylic acid are commonly employed. While treatments including Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, and other approaches have shown some efficacy, substantial breakthroughs are still lacking. Cytokines, therefore, represent a critical focus in understanding the pathogenesis of UC. This review explores the therapeutic pathways of cytokines and their antagonists.

Pomaga czy jednak przeszkadza? Muzyka w procesie budowania relacji rodzic–dziecko w rodzinach o zróżnicowanym pochodzeniu społecznym
Authors: Wyrzynkowska Katarzyna M.
Published: January 2025

The main purpose of the article is to try to show how music "works" in family relations and to what extent it allows to create and sustain relationships between parents and children. The analysis is based on the results of a qualitative study involving 40 families with diverse social origins. First, it should be noted that if parents are interested in music and treat it as an important element in their lives, then regardless of their social background, they will be actively involved in the musical socialization of their children. In this aspect, the greatest variation of strategies can be seen in representatives of the so-called cultural elite (obligatory model) and owners (emotional, unforced and casual approach). Moreover, socialization to music in the family is therefore not a one-way process. Children co-create the family musical adventure, often serving as a guide to the world of music for their parents. Moreover, the diversity of musical roles within the family is apparent. It turned out that for the young respondents, the father is more important in dealing with music. Although it should be noted that in farmers and working-class families the important role of the mother as the person animating family musical life is noticeable. The overall strength of parental influence weakens as the importance of peer groups increases, but it is clear that the primal musical socialization in the family continues to be reflected in the activities of growing children.
Przejawy solidarności i dzieci w podróży: co ma do tego „kryzys”?
Authors: Rosen Rachel
Published: January 2025

In “Emergent Solidarities and Children on the Move: What’s ‘Crisis’ Got to Do with It?” Rachel Rosen explores the concept of ‘crisis’ through the experiences of migrant children in the UK. Using participatory research with young migrants, Rosen argues that while border regimes categorize these children as ‘at risk’ or ‘risky,’ they are not passive victims. Instead, they engage in acts of solidarity, offering care and support to each other in the face of limited access to state services. Rosen posits that narratives of crisis, while often exclusionary, can also catalyze new social networks and forms of solidarity among young migrants. Through shared experiences, these youth not only resist marginalization but forge alternative networks that challenge xenophobic crisis narratives and state-sanctioned exclusions. By re-examining 'crisis' as both a restrictive and potentially generative framework, Rosen suggests that these solidarities reveal transformative possibilities for rethinking care, support, and belonging in the context of migration.
Szkic autoetnograficzny o dzieciach w drodze
Authors: Sarnecka Joanna
Published: January 2025

The article examines the situation of children and youth in transit at the Polish-Belarusian border, focusing on the violence they face and the ambiguous procedures used to determine their age. These procedures, which rely on bone and dental examinations, are often interpreted to the detriment of young people. This practice, previously discussed in the literature, has been described as "adultification." This concept aptly captures not only the precarious situation of young people but also the ways in which their childhood is perceived—or denied—resulting in the erosion of their rights as children. The author also discusses an artistic project, the play Nabu’s Journey, inspired by a children’s book by Jarosław Mikołajewski. The play aims to raise awareness about the plight of young people at the border and foster dialogue on human solidarity in the face of humanitarian crises.

The Correspondence of Ludvik Kuba with Andronyk Stepovychиas a Source for the Research of Czech-Ukrainian Cultural Communications
Authors: Kovalov Yevhen
Published: January 2025

The article analyzes the correspondence of prominent Czech folklorist and painter Ludvik Kuba (1863–1956) with Ukrainian philologist, specialist in Slavic languages and literature, teacher Andronyk Stepovych (1856/1857–1935). This epistolary complex, which is currently stored in the Manuscript Institute of the National Library of Ukraine named after V. I. Vernadskyi, includes 74 letters sent by Ludvik Kuba to Andronyk Stepovych over a long period of time — from 1884 to 1935, with a break from 1899 to 1924 and contains valuable materials related to Czech-Ukrainian cultural communications of the end of the 19th — the first third of the 20th century: collection and publication of musical folklore monuments, Andronyk Stepovych’s travels to Czechia and Ludvik Kuba to Ukraine, exchange of printed publications, cooperation with publishing houses, scientific and public institutions. These letters also indicate attention to the study of Slavic languages as a prerequisite for cultural relations. They are about the influence of socio-political events and processes on the lifestyle of intellectuals and artists, as well as their dependence on the market conditions of printed products and works of art. In addition, these texts provide important evidence for the study of the emotional and intellectual components of interpersonal communication expressed through the epistolary genre of written culture. The author believes that a closer acquaintance of the scientific community with Ludvik Kuba’s correspondence with Andronyk Stepovych can be useful for researching sociocultural processes in Central-Eastern Europe at the personal level, as well as clarifying the importance of folkloristics, linguistics, and literary studies in these processes. Therefore, a scientific publication of this epistolary complex seems desirable.
Volhynian Provenance of the Radziwill Chronicle: Hypothesis and Its Critical Assessment
Authors: Rusyna Оlena
Published: January 2025

The Radziwill chronicle is a unique Cyrillic manuscript dating back to the late 15th century. It was named after Radziwill princely family who kept it in the mid-17th century. The chronicle covers historical period from the mythical beginnings of Rus’ land up to the early 13th century. But it is not unique in terms of its text which is well-studied by scholars. Its exclusivity lies in over 600 miniatures that were once called “windows on a lost world”. In fact, the Radziwill chronicle is a copy of the illuminated codex of the early 13th century though its miniatures underwent some changes in the West-European style. Since the times of Aleksey Shakhmatov it is generally believed that the Radziwill chronicle was compiled in the city of Smolensk which was the part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania up to 1514. This notion is mostly based on the results of linguistic analysis of the chronicle as the manuscript itself lacks any indications on the place of its creation. The concept of chronicle’s Smolensk origin is so engrained in academic literature that there were even proposals to rename it to the Smolensk chronicle. But after almost a century of scholarly consensus regarding this issue the new concept emerged. It was put forward in 2004 by Russian researcher Andrey Nikitin in whose opinion the Radziwill chronicle was compiled in the bishop’s scriptorium in Volodymyr (Volhynia). The theory formulated by Nikitin found its ardent supporter in Ukraine. The view of Volodymyr as chronicle’s hometown was enthusiastically accepted by Oleksiy Tolochko who promoted this theory in a number of publications. His conclusions were based on some paintings and marginal notes of the Radziwill chronicle. Unfortunately, his ideas have never been critically assessed despite being quite a novelty for chronicle studies. This served as an impetus for detailed examination of his “Volhynian theory”. As it appeared, it lacks any scholarly value and thus should be completely ignored.
Peculiarities of the Structural and Functional Organization of Theological Seminaries in Soviet Times (The case of Kyiv Theological Seminary)
Authors: Bozhko Archimandrite Mitrophan (Oleksii)
Published: January 2025

The purpose of the article is to identify the transformations that theological seminaries underwent in the Soviet era in their structural and functional organization. These changes are followed through the determination of the system of subordination of the seminary to the church and state authorities, consideration of the internal structure of the institution, and the outline of the functions of its governing bodies. The study is based on a comparison of the statutory documents of pre-revolutionary and Soviet times. Some institutional aspects are illustrated by the example of the Kyiv Theological Seminary, which functioned in 1947–1960. The study found that in their subordination to church authorities, seminaries in the USSR followed the model established in the Russian Empire. In their structure and functions of governing bodies and pedagogical personnel, they also reproduced pre-revolutionary models and were guided by well-tested mechanisms. Only those pre-revolutionary norms that were not consistent with the new reality underwent certain modifications. In particular, the positions of seminary confessor and honorary supervisor of the economic part were abolished, the ban on part-time work for seminary employees was lifted, and all teachers were allowed to participate in the Pedagogical Assembly. At the same time, an important factor in the functioning of seminaries in the Soviet era was the existence of the Council for the Affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church and its local authorized representatives. Formally, church educational institutions were not subordinated to state bodies, since the Church was separated from the state, but in practice, the Soviet authorities exercised significant influence on the course of processes within the seminary and its communication with the outside world, using informal mechanisms.
“Customs Stories” in the Travel Notes of Travellers of the 19th Century
Authors: Ivaniuk Oleh , Bakyka Polina
Published: January 2025

This study explores issues related to the work of customs and border crossings by travellers from the territories of the Russian Empire. The article analyses travel notes, diaries, memoirs, and correspondence of several Ukrainian and Russian travellers who journeyed through European countries during the 19th century. The research primarily focuses on the narratives of Ukrainian and Russian travellers, including O. Bodyansky, H. Halahan, A. Glagolev, P. Kovalevsky, I. Sreznevsky, and others. It was found that travellers paid the most attention to crossing the Russian-Austrian border and, accordingly, to Russian and Austrian customs, there were several reasons for this: first, the main overland transport routes to France, Britain, and the German lands passed through Austro-Hungarian territories. Second, the first experience of crossing the border was associated with Russian and Austrian customs. However, travellers considered the work of British, Belgian, and French customs to be the most professional. The study identifies a typical list of prohibitions on the import or export of certain goods, such as tobacco, tea, printed materials (including books, sheet music, and newspapers, especially during the rise of revolutionary movements in Europe), and others. The letters of third parties, not belonging to the travellers, were also subject to inspection. Due to certain reasons defined by the specifics of Russian imperial internal policy and censorship bans, travellers resorted to smuggling printed materials. Illegal activities during border crossings in European countries were associated with ignorance of local laws, significant customs sizes (according to subjective considerations), and the lack of information about the presence of prohibited goods in rented transport. The study also reveals that rumors about customs officials’ bribery and horrific inspections were mostly unfounded. However, travellers did document numerous instances where officials violated the law and exceeded their official powers.

Scythian settlements of the 7th-5th centuries BC has not yet been discovered, however, the methods of siege and assault on fortified cities were already known to them much earlier, as can be seen from the campaigns in Asia Minor and Transcaucasia. The main archaeological monuments of the fortification of European Scythians IV-III centuries BC Belsk, Kamenskoye and Belozersk settlements on the Dnieper, Nemirovskoye in the basin of the Southern Bug, Nadliman settlement on the Dniester, Elizabethan settlement on the Lower Don, etc. are considered.
In Central Scythia during the III century BC life ceases in the Kamensky settlement and other settlements, and the Crimea becomes the center of Late Scythia.
The article analyzes the Early Scythian fortification and polyorcetics on the basis of data from archaeological and written sources. The most significant fortifications of ancient Scythia are investigated, the most characteristic architectural forms and building techniques are noted.
Multivector strategy of Georgia in the context of geopolitical instability in the South Caucasus (1992–2003)
Authors:   North Ossetian State University named after Kosta Levanovich Khetagurov, Tauchelov Batraz G.
Published: January 2025

The article examines the multivector foreign policy of Georgia during the presidency of Eduard Shevardnadze (1992–2003) in the context of the complex geopolitical situation in the South Caucasus. During this period, the country faced numerous challenges, including ethnopolitical conflicts in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, economic difficulties, and the need for recovery after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In response to these challenges, Georgia pursued a balanced foreign policy strategy aimed at developing relations both with the West and with Russia.
The article analyzes the key directions of Georgia’s foreign policy, including its attempts to integrate into Western international structures such as NATO and the European Union, while maintaining pragmatic relations with Russia, the traditional regional player. Shevardnadze employed a multivector approach to minimize dependence on any single external actor and to strengthen Georgia’s position in international affairs. The author highlights how this strategy affected the country’s internal and external stability, as well as its role in regional geopolitics. The article focuses on the complexities of implementing a multivector policy amid growing competition between global powers in the post-Soviet space.
Shamil Abaev in the soviet everyday life of North OssetiaGabolaev G.V. Shamil Abaev in the soviet everyday life of North Ossetia
Authors:   State Academic University for the Humanities, Gabolaev Georgy V.
Published: January 2025

The author’s task is to analyze the fate of the activist of the party “Kermen” Sh.B. Abaev (1878-1940). A prominent representative of the Ossetian pre-revolutionary and Soviet intelligentsia, one of the founders of the revolutionary-democratic party “Kermen”, which in 1918 united with the Bolshevik wing of the former RSDLP. In the existing historiography of his life and work, it is stated that he was repressed in the memorable years of the so-called “Great Terror”. This period in the history of our state is interpreted quite ambiguously to this day. Some researchers associate it with the so-called cult of personality of I.V. Stalin, others are inclined to consider it as an attempt by the Bolsheviks to strengthen the vertical of power and executive discipline before the inevitable war with Nazi Germany. The fate of prominent representatives, in fact, the organizers of the Kermen party during this period is one of the indicators of the socio-political life of both the country as a whole and North Ossetia in particular. This is an indicator of how the Ossetian intelligentsia existed in the difficult conditions of revolutionary activity and the formation of Soviet power. The main source of the research is the materials of the central and republican archives: official documentation, records of the epistolary genre, materials of the periodical press and, of course, monographic sources. The novelty of the research is caused by the fact that the objective, non-ideological history of the party, such as the participation of its members in political life and the advancement of projects for the political and cultural reconstruction of society, is not studied. The purpose of this work is to assess the socio-political activities of Shamil Abaev in the everyday life of North Ossetia.

Monetary processes taking place in the modern world and caused, among other things, by the influence of geo-economic and geopolitical factors, play a key role in the formation and maintenance of sustainable development and economic growth of national socio-economic systems, which requires the construction and functioning of an effective system of state regulation of monetary (monetary), financial and currency spheres. However, macroeconomic processes and trends in their development, covering various spheres of state activity, indicate that traditional conceptual, methodological and institutional-applied approaches to their regulation do not always ensure the stability of the financial system and its key components (in particular, the monetary system), which has a decisive influence on the parameters, mechanisms and instruments for the implementation of state monetary policy, especially in the context of taking monetary impact measures to level social inequality in society against the background of the complication of the current situation in the country and the world as a whole, determined by the influence of geo-economic and geopolitical factors and a high level of uncertainty.
The purpose of the study is to provide a theoretical and methodological justification for the need to modernize applied tools for the implementation of state monetary policy in Russia, in order to maintain the pace of economic growth of its economy, against the background of restrictions imposed on our state due to the influence of both exogenous and endogenous factors. The basis for writing the article was a systematic approach structured according to the problems of the studied areas.
The results of the conducted research can serve as a basis for developing recommendations on improving the mechanism of state regulation of monetary processes in modern conditions of the functioning of the national economy, characterized by an increase in crisis factors of an endogenous nature, uncertainty of the macroeconomic context, etc.

Authors:   Tuvan State University, Ochur Nadezhda
Published: January 2025

he state strongly supports various youth initiatives today oriented to the labor education, the formation of patriotism and active citizenship. It is necessary not only to take into account the economic and socio-cultural characteristics of the regions, but also to know the historical experience in order to implement the state youth policy. The resort to the history of the movement of student teams from 1960 to 1980 will help to solve this problem successfully.
The activity of student teams in Tuva during the Soviet period is one of the positive examples. Using the regional experience the article analyzes the history of the formation of student teams, the organization and direction of their work, the specifics of the activity and the reasons of the usage of student labor at the various facilities of the national economy of the Tuvan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in comparison with the general trends of the All-Union Student Movement. The article examines a question of youth participation in the construction of New Shagonar announced as All-Union leading Komsomol construction in 1977.
In Tuvan historiography this research is the first attempt to treat the subject using a wide range of archival and statistical materials and to analyze the republican periodical press of the affected period.
At the end the research reveals the positive role of student teams of Tuva and youth from other regions of the Soviet Union in the socio-economic and cultural development of the republic in the 1960s - early 1980s and the importance of the student movement in the formation of patriotic and labor education of young people.
Surgery for giant ovarian cysts in Guyana using single-port laparoscopy: a retrospective case series analysis
Authors: France Natasha , Sookraj Radha , Gittens Sabrina , Jiang Yuan
Published: January 2025

Giant ovarian cysts (GOCs) have become less common in developed countries due to routine health screenings, but they remain prevalent in economically underdeveloped regions. Treatment options for GOCs depend on factors such as age, cyst characteristics, and pregnancy status. Minimally invasive single-port laparoscopic surgery has largely replaced traditional open surgery due to its aesthetic advantages and effectiveness. In this case series, six patients with giant ovarian cysts, including two pregnant women, underwent single-port laparoscopic surgery. The procedure was aimed to reduce scarring, ensure safety, and preserve fertility. Strict criteria were used to rule out malignancy and assess suitability for the minimally invasive approach. Five patients had successful surgeries with positive cosmetic outcomes, while one required conversion to a mini-laparotomy due to technical difficulties. Postoperative recovery was smooth, with patients expressing satisfaction with the aesthetic results. This study demonstrates that single-port laparoscopic surgery is a safe and effective method for treating large ovarian cysts, combining the advantages of traditional laparoscopy with enhanced cosmetic results. The approach is particularly beneficial for younger and pregnant patients, with careful timing of surgery recommended to minimize pregnancy-related risks.

The study was designed to appraise the effects of early antibiotic administration on reproductive tract infections and fetal membrane cell scorching in instances of premature rupture of membranes (PROM). A total of 107 pregnant women diagnosed with PROM between July 2020 and June 2022 were randomly assigned to two groups: the Intervention (n=54), where ampicillin were administered within 24 hours of PROM onset, and the control group (n=53), where ampicillin were given 24-48 hours after PROM. Maternal and neonatal outcomes, incidence of reproductive tract infections, and fetal membrane cell scorching indicators (Caspase-1, Caspase -3, Caspase-9 and IL-β) were compared. The intervention group had significantly fewer adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes (p<0.05). Post-treatment, rates of Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma solium, and genital tract infections decreased in both groups, with lower rates in the intervention group (p<0.05). Positive expression rates of Caspase-1, -3, -9, and IL-β in placental tissues were also lower in the intervention group (p<0.05). We conclude that administering antibiotics within 12 hours of PROM reduces reproductive tract infections, lowers fetal membrane cell scorching, and improves maternal and neonatal outcomes, supporting early antibiotic use in the management of PROM.

With 25% of teenagers pregnant by age of 19 and about half of these married before their 18th birth day, Uganda exhibits one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancy and child marriage globally. Comprehensive data on the drivers and barriers to addressing repeat teenage pregnancies and early child marriages remains limited. Using the narrative inquiry approach, the paper explores the key socio-cultural drivers and barriers to addressing repeat teenage pregnancies and early/forced marriages among stakeholders in the districts of Mbale, Kween, Namayingo and Kalangala. Guided by purposive sampling, a total of 125 qualitative interviews (80 key informant interviews (KIIs) and 45 focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted. Data analysis was done using deductive thematic analysis in Atlas ti software. The drives of repeat teenage pregnancy (RPT) include the distorted community understanding of repeat teenage pregnancy; poverty at the household; norms, traditions and beliefs; cultural and traditional practices; lack of comprehensive sex education, school dropout, Peer pressure and influence, and vulnerable populations. The results point to a strong relationship between teenage pregnancy, early child/forced marriage and repeat teenage pregnancy across all the four districts and to poverty as the driving force.

Manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) is a painful procedure often conducted without analgesia. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a paracervical block (PCB) as the mode of pain relief during MVA. Few studies have assessed patient perspectives on pain control during MVA. We investigated the perspectives of health workers and patients on MVA under PCB. This study was nested within a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating the Chloe SED (syringe extension device) for PCB provision. Eleven providers and 61 patients were enrolled. All providers had MVA experience. They had not provided pain relief on 20% of occasions, and only one had previously administered PCB for MVA. Both patients and providers indicated MVA was painful and deserving of analgesia. Pain was the most common reason for difficulty completing an MVA. Providers noted that PCB made the procedure more tolerable. For patients, efficacy, remaining conscious, and same-day discharge were key considerations when selecting pain relief. Notably, 84% of patients expressed satisfaction with MVA under PCB. PCB is a vital component of the MVA care package. Considering patient and provider perspectives is essential to optimizing a humane and effective procedural experience.

This study was an original article, mainly aimed to explore the influence of nutritional guidance during pregnancy on nutritional status and pregnancy outcome of pregnant women. Two hundred (200) pregnant women were admitted to the Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Command from May 2021 to May 2023. They were randomly sub-divided into a control group and an intervention group. Each group had 100 cases. The control group received routine guidance, while the intervention group received personalized nutrition guidance based on standards from the routine guidance protocol. The results showed that in comparison with the control group, the intervention group presented higher calcium, protein, folate, sodium, iron, vitamin and zinc levels, lower fat levels, lower incidence of adverse birth outcomes, lower incidence of adverse neonatal status, higher fetal body weight and Apgar score higher satisfaction rate, and lower incidence of complications during pregnancy. We conclude that reasonable intake of nutrition during pregnancy can meet the nutritional needs of pregnant women and fetuses, improve pregnancy safety, improve delivery and newborn conditions, reduce the occurrence of pregnancy complications, and improve the satisfaction of pregnant women.

The discharge time of the postpartum woman is an issue related to emotional readiness and hospital policies and should be evaluated by the nurse. The feeling of readiness of the postpartum woman is the key in making the decision to discharge.The objective of the study is to evaluate the discharge readiness of puerperium and to determine the factors affecting.This study included 323 postpartum women who visited the obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinic of the hospital between Semtember 10, 2021, and January 31, 2022, and met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected using the Personal and Obstetric Information form, The Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale-Postpartum Mother Form(RHDS-PM). The chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and the Fisher-Freeman-Halton test were used in the comparison of categorical data. Categorical data are presented as frequencies and percentages The mean age of the participants was 28.57±5.69 years. In our study, it was found that the mean RHDS-PMF score of the postpartum women was 154.29±31.08. A statistically significant difference was found in satisfaction with nursing care based on postpartum knowledge status (p< 0.001).Based on this study's results, the average discharge scale score of the postpartum women in the group was determined to be ready. The scale score of those who believe that they would be capable of self-care at home is higher than those who do not. Thus, the education and the self care power provided support postpartum women's satisfaction with nursing care and their readiness for discharge.

Purpose: The aim of the research was to determine consumers' expectations regarding
enotourism, examine the possibilities for its development in central Poland, and explore
strategies to enhance profitability for vineyard owners.
Methodology: The study was conducted in 2024 using quantitative PAPI (paper and personal
interview) and CAWI (computer-assisted web interview) methods among Polish residents.
The representative sample was 1067 people. A total 984 correctly completed surveys which
were used for analysis. The questionnaire consisted of three parts: general questions on the use
of enotourism services, knowledge and use of services in central Poland and demographic in
information. using survey forms with 984 participants from 16 voivodeships across Poland.
The questionnaire covered three parts: general enotourism behaviors, specific knowledge and
demographic data. The model’s dependent variable was the frequency of visiting enotoursim
sites in Poland. Due to its dichotomous nature a logistic regression model was applied, including
only statistically significant variables. Model quality was evaluated using the Hosmer
Lemeshow test and C-statistics.
Findings: The positive perception of central Poland as an enotourism destination strongly
correlates with visitors’ frequency of vineyards visits. Central Poland has the potential to
become an important enotourism center; however, this requires a well-organized, strategic
approach and coordination of various stakeholder activities.
Originality/value: The article introduces a fresh perspective on the potential for enotourism
development in central Poland, highlighting opportunities from climate change and shifting
wine growing zones. It uniquely analyzes specific factors attracting enotourists, such as prior
visitor experience and interest in local wine production, within a region without strong wine
traditions. The article is aimed at tourism policymakers, vineyard owners, local uthorities and tourism development organizations. It also serves research in enotourism and those interested
in the tourism potential linked to horticultural adaptation to changing climate conditions.
