Authors: Islam Mominul , Akter Lupin , Rana Dr. Sohel , Suborna Suborna , Khatun Sima , Islam Tanzina
Published: June 2024

Background: Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by airway inflammation, leading to wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Effective asthma management requires healthcare professionals to have adequate knowledge about the disease and its treatment options. Objective: This study aimed to assess the knowledge of nurses at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital regarding the management of bronchial asthma. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted, and fifty nurses were selected as respondents from July 2017 to January 2018. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on demographic characteristics, socio-economic status, and knowledge about bronchial asthma management. The questionnaire was divided into demographic information, nurses' knowledge about asthma management, and patient knowledge about asthma. Result: The study found that 96% of nurses were knowledgeable about incident-related bronchial asthma, while 4% were not. All nurses provided health education and counseling to patients, and 92% demonstrated the correct use of inhalers. Additionally, 96% of nurses encouraged regular medication use, while 4% did not. 94% of nurses advised patients to avoid environmental dust, while 6% did not. 92% of nurses assisted patients with investigations, while 8% did not. Family history was recognized as a risk factor for bronchial asthma by 94% of nurses, while 6% did not. Conclusion: The study concludes that while nurses at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital demonstrate good knowledge and practices regarding asthma management, there is still room for improvement. Continued education and training programs could enhance nurses' knowledge and skills in managing bronchial asthma effectively.

Published: June 2024

Partus lama merupakan masalah yang paling sering terjadi pada ibu bersalin. Faktor umur dan paritas merupakan faktor ibu yang mempengaruhi terjadinya partus lama. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian  survei analitik yang bersifat cross sectional.  Sampel diambil dengan teknik purposive sampling dari 122 responden. Data responden  diambil melalui rekam medik dan registrasi pasien. Variable independent pada penelitian ini adalah usia dan paritas. Variabel dependen adalah partus lama. Untuk menganalisis adanya suatu hubungan antara usia dan paritas dengan kejadian partus lama, maka menggunakan analisis uji statistik Chi-square. Hasil analisis chi square p= 0,000 < 0,005  menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan yang signifikan antara usia dan paritas dengan kejadian partus lama di Puskesmas Galis. Sebagian besar responden berusia dibawah 20 tahun dan diatas 35 tahun. Sedangkan pada paritas sebagian besar adalah primi dan grandemulti. Berdasarkan uraian diatas dapat disimpulkan bahwa usia < 20 tahun dan > 35 tahun adalah usia yang berisiko mengalami partus lama. Karena pada usia < 20 tahun alat reproduksi ibu belum siap untuk dibuahi dan menopang berat badan janin yang semakin tumbuh besar. Sedangkan pada paritas berisiko adalah primi dan grandemult. Pada primi dikarenakan menerima kehamilan pertama kemungkinan rahim menjadi teregang oleh adanya janin. Pada grandemulti rahim mengalami penurunan fungsi yaitu tidak dapat lagi berkontraksi dengan baik akibat regangan uterus yang berulang ulang. Diharapkan untuk peneliti selanjutnya dapat meneliti dengan menggunakan data primer agar dapat memperoleh banyak data dan informasi.
Nowhere-Zero 3-Flows in Signed Planar Graphs
Authors: Li Jiaao , Ma Yulai , Miao Zhengke , Shi Yongtang , Wang Weifan
Published: June 2024

Extending Grötzsch's 3-coloring theorem in the flow setting, Steinberg and Younger in 1989 proved that every 4-edge-connected planar or projective planar graph admits a nowhere-zero 3-flow (3-NZF for short), while Tutte's 3-flow conjecture asserts all 4-edge-connected graphs admit 3-NZFs. In this paper, we generalize Grötzsch's theorem to signed planar graphs by showing that every 4-edge-connected signed planar graph with two negative edges admits a 3-NZF. On the other hand, a result from Máčajová and Škoviera implies that there exist infinitely many 4-edge-connected signed planar graphs with three negative edges admitting no 3-NZFs but permitting 4-NZFs. Our proof employs the flow extension ideas from Steinberg-Younger and Thomassen, as well as refined exploration of the location of negative edges and elaborated discharging arguments in signed planar graphs.
BE-Diperfect Digraphs with Stability Number Two
Authors: A. de Paula Silva Caroline , Nunes da Silva Cândida , Lee Orlando
Published: June 2024

In 1982, Berge defined the class of $\alpha$-diperfect digraphs. A digraph $D$ is $\alpha$-diperfect if every induced subdigraph of $H$ of $D$ satisfies the following property: for every maximum stable set $S$ of $H$ there is a path partition $\mathcal{P}$ of $H$ in which every $P \in \mathcal{P}$ contains exactly one vertex of $S$. Berge conjectured a characterization of $\alpha$-diperfect digraphs by forbidding induced orientations of odd cycles. In 2018, Sambinelli, Nunes da Silva and Lee proposed a similar class of digraphs. A digraph $D$ is BE-diperfect if every induced subdigraph $H$ of $D$ satisfies the following property: for every maximum stable set $S$ of $H$ there is a path partition $\mathcal{P}$ of $H$ in which (i) every $P \in \mathcal{P}$ contains exactly one vertex of $S$ and (ii) $P$ either begins or ends at a vertex of $S$. They also conjectured that the BE-diperfect digraphs can be characterized by forbidding induced orientations of odd cycles; we refer to this as the Begin-End Conjecture. In 2023, de Paula Silva, Nunes da Silva and Lee presented an infinite family of counterexamples with stability number two to Berge's Conjecture. On the other hand, these digraphs are not counterexamples to the Begin-End Conjecture. In this paper, we prove that the latter conjecture holds for digraphs with stability number two.
Sustainability Practices and Brand Identity in City Hotels: The Moderating Impact of Guests’ Length of Stay
Authors: Musau John , Mapelu Isabella , Njeri Antoneta Kariru
Published: June 2024

The adoption of sustainability practices in city hotels is increasingly prevalent, driven by the imperative to reduce environmental impact, comply with regulations, and meet the growing demand for sustainable offerings. These practices serve to differentiate city hotels from traditional brands and bolster brand identity. However, the extent to which sustainability initiatives contribute to a hotel's objectives and are perceived by guests remains debated. This study, conducted in Nairobi County, assessed the impact of sustainability practices on brand identity and guest travel preferences. It explored the mediating role of travel preferences in the relationship between sustainability practices and brand identity, as well as the moderating influence of length of stay. Drawing on the Triple Bottom Line (TBL), Environmental Attitude Behaviour (EAB), and Brand Identity Prism (BIP) frameworks, survey data from 205 guests across 36 classified hotels in Nairobi were analysed using structural equation models. The results confirmed a positive and significant relationship between sustainability practices and brand identity, as well as their impact on guest travel preferences. While mediation effects were not observed, the study revealed that both short and long stays significantly moderated the relationship between sustainability practices and brand identity. This research contributes empirical evidence on the interplay between sustainability practices, guest preferences, and brand identity across different lengths of stay. It suggests that hoteliers can leverage environmental and social sustainability initiatives to cultivate a brand identity aligned with guests' environmental and hedonic inclinations, thus gaining a competitive edge in the city hotel market
A Survey for Mycobacterium spp. in Post slaughter Matrix of Donkeys
Authors: Chieloka Okoli Solomon , Joseph Ogugua Akwoba
Published: June 2024

The presence of Mycobacterium in the post-slaughter matrix of animals is a public health concern. The issue is compounded during postmortem meat inspection at the abattoir when judgments on suspected cases of Tuberculosis (TB) are based solely on gross morphological lesions, without complementary laboratory tests. As a result, carcasses from animals with latent TB infection may be approved for human consumption. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of TB in the carcasses of donkeys slaughtered at an abattoir. A survey was conducted from January 1st, 2024 to March 31st, 2024 involving 4200 animals slaughtered within the period. Tissue samples (Lung, spleen, liver) were purposively obtained from carcasses with lesions consistent with suspected TB cases. Tissues were collected in sterile Universal bottles and transported to the laboratory in a Giostyle maintained at a temperature of 4-5 degrees Celsius. Acid-fast bacilli were identified using Ziehl-Neelsen stain. In all 26 organs obtained from individual animals that met the case definition for suspected TB, 8 (31%) tested positive for Acid-fast bacilli, the spleen accounts for 2 (25%), liver 2 (25%), and lungs 4 (50%). The prevalence of tuberculosis in the carcasses of slaughtered donkeys during this period was 0.2%. Given the absence of laboratory screening equipment and facilities to screen for suspected TB in carcasses, the risk of TB zoonosis remains high. To address this issue, we recommend the immediate establishment of dedicated tuberculosis screening facilities in all abattoirs within the state to enhance the detection and confirmation of suspected cases of tuberculosis in meat

Published: June 2024

El presente estudio investiga el impacto de la estimulación temprana en el desarrollo cognitivo de niños en edades comprendidas entre 0 y 6 años. Se plantea la hipótesis de que la estimulación temprana contribuye de manera significativa al desarrollo cognitivo de los niños en esta etapa crucial de su crecimiento. Se llevó a cabo una investigación mediante el uso de encuestas dirigidas a padres y cuidadores de niños en la comunidad, con el objetivo de recopilar datos sobre las prácticas de estimulación temprana implementadas en el hogar. Además, se realizaron observaciones directas de las interacciones entre los niños y sus entornos, centrándose en actividades estimulantes y factores ambientales relevantes. De los datos obtenidos, se encontró que el 69% de los niños que recibieron estimulación temprana mostraron un mayor desarrollo cognitivo en comparación con aquellos que no recibieron este tipo de estímulo. Se observaron mejoras significativas en áreas como el lenguaje, la memoria, la resolución de problemas y la atención. Los resultados de este estudio respaldan la hipótesis inicial y sugieren que la estimulación temprana desempeña un papel crucial en el desarrollo cognitivo de los niños de 0 a 6 años. Estos hallazgos subrayan la importancia de promover prácticas de estimulación temprana en el hogar y en entornos educativos para optimizar el potencial cognitivo de los niños desde una edad temprana.
Vulneración al derecho a recurrir por la imposibilidad de apelar del llamamiento a juicio
Authors: Estrella Blanca Amay Chamba
Published: June 2024

El auto de llamamiento a juicio es el acto o resolución en la que el Juez de Garantías Penales cierra esta etapa acusando al imputado, sin poder imponer el recurso de apelación en busca del principio de celeridad, vulnerando el derecho constitucional a la defensa, por ende, al debido proceso, tutela efectiva y seguridad jurídica en el proceso penal. Teniendo en cuenta que esta garantía está prevista en el artículo 76 numeral 7 literal m de nuestra Carta Magna. Es por ello que el presente artículo científico tuvo como objetivo establecer la existencia de la vulneración del derecho a recurrir del fallo del auto de llamamiento juicio desde la perspectiva del libre ejercicio en la provincia de Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas durante el año 2020. La investigación por su modalidad fue cualitativa-cuantitativa, evidenciándose los resultados en gráficos con porcentajes que se han presentado y a su vez las entrevistas realizadas a los abogados/as. Tras el desarrollo del presente trabajo, se concluyó el conocimiento de la existencia de este derecho constitucional, su evidente vulneración, al no estar establecida dentro del cuerpo legal correspondiente siendo este el Código Orgánico Integral Penal, a su vez es contrario a la Supremacía Constitucional y a uno de sus elementos fundamentales que es la jerarquía normativa. También siendo este derecho ignorado por los órganos del sistema de administración de justicia dado que son los encargados de la protección del Estado constitucional por medio de los actos y resoluciones que emiten.

Parental Involvement and its Effect on the Academic Achievement of College Students in a Private Catholic Institution
Authors: T. Lumaygay Sheila Rose , O. Orong Denise
Published: June 2024

When parents are actively engaged in their children's education—through activities such as attending school meetings, helping with homework, and fostering educational aspirations—it often leads to improved academic achievement. This paper aimed to establish which domain of parental involvement shows significant relationship with students’ academic achievement. Using a standardized adopted questionnaire, the study surveyed 96 parents of college students enrolled in San Agustin Institute of Technology through purposive sampling procedure. The demographic profile revealed that most of the parents were married (83.33%) and high school graduates (43%). Additionally, in terms of family monthly income, most parents earned below P10,000.00 ($171.84), and a majority were farmers (34.46%). Regarding the level of variables, parental involvement was high. In terms of their children's academic achievement, most students earned very good grades in both the 1st and 2nd semesters. When the test of relationship was executed, it was found that parental involvement is significantly associated with academic achievement. This suggests that parents’ involvement and support in their children's academic endeavors are linked to higher academic grades, particularly by enhancing children's learning in the home environment and utilizing community services in school programs. Thus, there is a need to intensify parents’ involvement in their children’s education, even at the college level.
Allegory of Prison in the Paratextual Components of César Vallejo’s
Escales
(1923)
Authors: FLORES-HEREDIA GLADYS
Published: June 2024

Escales
(1923) is a book of short stories by César Vallejo that has scarcely been studied by specialized critics. The present hermeneutic research is focused on explaining how allegory is configured through paratextual elements such as the title, the subheadings and the epigraph. I focus on these components because, through studying previous critical examinations, I have noticed that these elements are the least analysed, in contrast to the attention that has been paid to the characters and the strictly narrative components. The interest aroused by the analysis and interpretation of these elements is based on the fact that they are figures that encode, in their allegorical materiality, Vallejo’s proposal for the search for a language that may channel the shock of the experience of imprisonment – a language that is also put forward as a form of resistance to injustice. The theoretical explanation of the components and functions of the paratext is guided by Gérard Genette, and, for the formal and conceptual precisions of allegory, I follow the reflections of Walter Benjamin, Jürgen Habermas, Tzvetan Todorov, Paul de Man and Craig Owens.

Šio darbo tikslas – išbandyti geležies turinčių medžiagų efektyvumą sorbuoti tirpųjį fosforą iš realių, biologiniu būdu jau išvalytų, nuotekų. Tyrimams pasirinktos ir į tris eksperimentinio stendo kolonėles patalpintos trys medžiagos, savo sudėtyje turinčios geležies: sorbentai GEH®102, SBGx ir plieno drožlės. Filtravimas vyko 0,74 m/h greičiu iš viršaus į apačią, sorbentų užpildams visą laiką esant apsemtiems, virš užpildų palaikant 25 cm aukščio skysčio sluoksnį. Adsorbentas GEH®102, skirtas geriamajam vandeniui ruošti, išsiskyrė efektyvumu (efektyvumas iki 98 %) šalinant PO4-P iš biologiškai valytų nuotekų, kuriose skendinčiųjų medžiagų koncentracija yra nedidelė (<2 mg/l). Miltelių pavidalo adsorbentas SBGx maišomas su smėliu, jo efektyvumas šalinant PO4-P iš nuotekų svyravo nuo 3 iki 41 %. Plieno drožlių užpildas yra tinkamas PO4-P šalinti iš buitinių nuotekų, šalinimas vyko 91–94 % efektyvumu. Plieno drožlės yra atlieka, kurios antrinis panaudojimas nuotekoms valyti būtų naudingas aplinkos darnumui, todėl rekomenduojama šioje srityje atlikti daugiau tyrimų.
Microgalaxies in LCDM

Published: June 2024

A fundamental prediction of the Lambda cold dark matter cosmology is the centrally divergent cuspy density profile of dark matter haloes. Density cusps render cold dark matter haloes resilient to tides, and protect dwarf galaxies embedded in them from full tidal disruption. The hierarchical assembly history of the Milky Way may therefore give rise to a population of “microgalaxies”; i.e., heavily stripped remnants of early accreted satellites, which can reach arbitrarily low luminosity. Assuming that the progenitor systems are dark matter dominated, we use an empirical formalism for tidal stripping to predict the evolution of the luminosity, size, and velocity dispersion of such remnants, tracing their tidal evolution across multiple orders of magnitude in mass and size. The evolutionary tracks depend sensitively on the progenitor distribution of stellar binding energies. We explore three cases that likely bracket most realistic models of dwarf galaxies: one where the energy distribution of the most tightly bound stars follows that of the dark matter, and two where stars are defined by either an exponential density or surface brightness profile. The tidal evolution in the size–velocity dispersion plane is quite similar for these three models, although their remnants may differ widely in luminosity. Microgalaxies are therefore best distinguished from globular clusters by the presence of dark matter; either directly, by measuring their velocity dispersion, or indirectly, by examining their tidal resilience. Our work highlights the need for further theoretical and observational constraints on the stellar energy distribution in dwarf galaxies.
Effect of Systematic Uncertainties on Density and Temperature
Estimates in Coronae of Capella

Published: June 2024

We estimate the coronal density of Capella using the O vii and Fe
xvii line systems in the soft X-ray regime that have been observed
over the course of the Chandra mission. Our analysis combines measures of error
due to uncertainty in the underlying atomic data with statistical errors in the
Chandra data to derive meaningful overall uncertainties on the plasma density of
the coronae of Capella. We consider two Bayesian frameworks. First, the
so-called pragmatic Bayesian approach considers the atomic data and their
uncertainties as fully specified and uncorrectable. The fully Bayesian approach,
on the other hand, allows the observed spectral data to update the atomic data
and their uncertainties, thereby reducing the overall errors on the inferred
parameters. To incorporate atomic data uncertainties, we obtain a set of atomic
data replicates, the distribution of which captures their uncertainty. A
principal component analysis of these replicates allows us to represent the
atomic uncertainty with a lower-dimensional multivariate Gaussian distribution.
A t-distribution approximation of the
uncertainties of a subset of plasma parameters including a priori temperature
information, obtained from the temperature-sensitive-only Fe xvii
spectral line analysis, is carried forward into the density- and
temperature-sensitive O vii spectral line analysis. Markov Chain Monte
Carlo based model fitting is implemented including Multi-step Monte Carlo Gibbs
Sampler and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. Our analysis recovers an isothermally
approximated coronal plasma temperature of ≈5 MK and a coronal plasma density of
≈1010 cm−3, with uncertainties of 0.1 and 0.2 dex,
respectively.
Multiobject Spectroscopy of Galaxy Clusters at z ∼ 0.95 in the Ultra Deep Survey Field with Different Star Formation Properties and Large-scale Environments

Published: June 2024

While galaxy clusters are dominated by quiescent galaxies in the local Universe, they show a wide range in quiescent galaxy fraction (QF) at higher redshifts. Here we present the discovery of two galaxy clusters at z ∼ 0.95 with contrasting QFs despite having similar masses (log (M
200/M
⊙) ∼ 14) and spectra and redshifts of 29 galaxies in these clusters and 76 galaxies in the surrounding area. The clusters are found in the Ultra Deep Survey field and confirmed through multiobject spectroscopic observation using the Inamori Magellan Areal Camera and Spectrograph on the Magellan telescope. The two clusters exhibit QFs of

, respectively. Analysis of large-scale structures (LSSs) surrounding these clusters finds that properties of these clusters are consistent with the anticorrelation trend between the QF and the extent of surrounding LSS, found in Lee et al., which can be interpreted as a result of the replenishment of young, star-forming galaxies keeping the QF low when galaxy clusters are accompanied by rich surrounding environments.

Published: June 2024

Test-particle simulations are an important tool for magnetospheric and heliophysics research. In this paper, we present the Space Plasma and Energetic Charged particle TRansport on Unstructured Meshes (SPECTRUM) software as a novel tool for performing these types of simulations in arbitrary astrophysical environments, specified either analytically or numerically (i.e., on a grid). We discuss and benchmark SPECTRUM’s interface with meshed magnetohydrodynamic backgrounds, including output from the Block Adaptive Tree Solar-wind Roe-type Upwind Scheme (BATS-R-US) code. We also investigate the effects of field discretization on both deterministic and stochastic particle motion, with emphasis on space science applications, concluding that the discretization error typically enhances the diffusive behavior of the ensemble.

Published: June 2024

This research aims to discover active compounds from the leaf extract from Cratoxylum glaucum using the bioassay-guided isolation method. The multistage extraction of C. glaucum leaves was conducted using n-hexane, dichloromethane, and methanol. The LDH assay was employed to analyze antimalarial activity, and the Resazurin assay was used to measure cytotoxicity values. The structure of the active isolates was determined using spectroscopic techniques. The compound 1 was successfully isolated from the dichloromethane extract of C. glaucum leaves (Cg.FD) and confirmed as a prenylated xanthone namely cratoxyarborenone E. The in vitro antimalarial activity showed an IC50 value of 5.82 ± 0.04 μM, the cytotoxicity assay exhibited a CC50 value of 20.74 ± 0.04 µM, and the SI value was determined to be 3.56. Our research demonstrates that cratoxyarborenone E was first reported from Cg.FD and shows promise as a prospective candidate for new antimalarial drugs.
Factors Associated with Working During the COVID-19 Pandemic and Intent to Stay at Current Nursing Position
Authors: Leep-Lazar Kathryn , Witkoski Stimpfel Amy
Published: June 2024

The pandemic exacerbated job stress and burnout among nurses, increasing turnover and intentions to leave, in a workforce struggling with severe shortages. Shortages and turnover are associated with decreased quality of care, poor nurse health, and increased costs. This article reports the findings of a study that sought to identify characteristics of the job, work environment, and psychosocial health outcomes that may predict nurses’ intent to stay at their current nursing position within the next year. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, we electronically surveyed working nurses (n = 629) during the summer of 2020 across 36 states. Demographics, work characteristics, and validated measures of anxiety, insomnia, and depressive symptoms were assessed. Logistic regression models identified factors associated with nurses’ intent to stay at their jobs. Colleague support, organizational support, and organizational pandemic preparedness were associated with increased odds of intent to stay, while both mild and moderate/severe depressive symptoms were associated with decreased odds of intent to stay. Because over a quarter of nurses surveyed reported moderate to severe depressive symptoms, which were strongly associated with turnover intention, organizational leadership should examine mental health resources available to nurses and work characteristics that could be contributing to nurses’ poor psychosocial health. Additionally, further research is needed to assess the meaning of organizational support to nurses in a post-COVID-19 context, as well how to create a work environment in which nurses are able to provide support to their colleagues.

Published: June 2024

This study analyzes and offers strategies to increase women's political participation in Islamic societies. The potential of this research is to instill hope in Islamic society about the transformative power of gender equality in political participation and to foster optimism about the increased political engagement of women in Islamic society. The theory used in this study is the theory of gender social construction. This study used descriptive qualitative methods to analyze data related to gender inequality in the political participation of Islamic societies. The data was collected through interviews with several informants who were experienced in Islamic politics and society. The results showed that gender inequality in the political participation of Islamic societies was seen in several aspects. First, women are still given fewer opportunities to participate in political decision-making. Second, women still experience discrimination in access to information and resources necessary to participate in politics. Third, women still experience stigma and stereotypes that prevent them from participating in politics. The suggestions and recommendations in this study, such as awareness-raising, resource development, elimination of stigmas and stereotypes, and partnership development, hold promise in addressing gender inequality in the political participation of Islamic society.

FUNDAMENTAL LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE PRENATAL GENETIC DIAGNOSIS
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Law, Mladenović Tamara
Published: June 2024

he field of genetic services within the legal system of the Republic of Serbia was initially regulated in 2015 with the enactment of the Law on Prevention and Diagnosis of Genetic Diseases, Genetically Conditioned Anomalies, and Rare Diseases. This law, commonly known as “Zoja’s Law”, was prompted by the advocacy of parents whose daughter suffered from a rare disease and was denied access to healthcare due to the inability to obtain a diagnosis in Serbia. As a result, the law was introduced to the public with significant attention and is recognized as one of the most modern legal frameworks in Europe concerning the establishment of rights, duties, and responsibilities for participants in medical procedures related to the prevention and diagnosis of genetics diseases, genetically conditioned anomalies, and rare diseases.This law covers several broader areas in the context of genetic testing aimed at establishing a diagnosis, including predictive, prenatal, and postnatal diagnostics. This paper focuses on the analysis of prenatal diagnosis - the genetic testing of embryos or fetuses. In addition to examining the provisions of domestic legislation, special attention will be given to analyzing the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) practice regarding member states’ provision of access to these services for individuals. This analysis entails assessing the compatibility of Serbia’s legal framework with European human rights standards, particularly concerning the right to health and reproductive rights. Key issues explored include access to information, consent, privacy, and the balancing of individual rights with societal interests.

Biomedically assisted fertilization services are becoming increasingly important in the 21st century, given the growing number of couples struggling with some form of infertility that makes it impossible to conceive naturally. The author's considerations therefore focus on married and unmarried partners as users of biomedically assisted fertilization services. In this paper, the author first discusses the concept and types of biomedical insemination, as well as the causes of infertility among married and unmarried partners. The central part of the paper is devoted to analyzing the conditions under which these couples can be users of the said services under the 2017 Act on Biomedically Assisted Fertilization and thus assessing their eligibility. In addition, the importance of the consent and withdrawal of consent of these couples in the process of assisted reproduction was also examined. In the concluding part, the author sums up the obtained results and points out the advantages and disadvantages of the current legal solutions to this issue.
