Pastoral guidance for divorced couples in GMIM Zaitun Motoling Church
Authors: Jacob Yessy Kenny
Published: August 2023

Understanding love as a gift from the divine power, feeling the sensation of being in love, one desires to possess their beloved. If likened, it feels like the world belongs only to the two. This metaphor holds when the person we love also loves us in return. The commitment to marriage and building a family emerges from this feeling of love. In essence, marriage is the union of two individuals, only to be separated by death. It is love that sustains a marriage. However, some marriages fail to endure and result in divorce. In truth, no one desires a divorce, especially when the marriage is built upon love. Far from anyone's hope, a household may break apart. Divorce undoubtedly impacts the divorcing couple, the children affected, their families, and the church/community. The church has indeed provided guidance for couples before marriage and even support for families facing issues to prevent divorce. However, there needs to be more pastoral guidance for divorced couples post-divorce. This study examines how pastoral guidance can be offered to divorced couples to mitigate the effects on those in pre-divorce or post-divorce situations.

Population growth, increased housing requirements, and a lack of available land in urban areas motivate developers to construct vertical housing. Vertical occupancy reduces social interaction between occupants, leading to the development of individualistic characteristics. This is due to the fact that the design does not encourage inhabitants to interact with one another. This research seeks to identify the design criteria necessary to construct a social structure in a vertical residence. This study's methodology consisted of three stages: data collection, analysis, and synthesis. Where quantitative and qualitative data are collected using a combined research methodology. Retrieve quantitative data through questionnaires to ascertain the social interaction habits of vertical occupancy users. While qualitative methods, such as literature and precedent studies, such as Home Farm Singapore and The Rosebay Surabaya, are used to identify existing issues. The analysis phase consists of descriptive statistics to interpret the questionnaire results, as well as a description of the analysis based on the research variables used, such as accessibility, users, individuality, adaptability, and others. The results of the synthesis phase will be design criteria that can enhance the social value of vertical housing.

Published: August 2023

Through interaction, humans build relationships and become part of the environment. The process of interaction will shape the experience of individual senses, memory, and perception on which to create a sense of place. This study aims to determine the process of creating the meaning of places based on perceptions received by the human senses. The method used is qualitative descriptive, with a case (Malioboro) within the scope of sensory experience and perception. Case study analysis uses adaptations of content analysis methods. The results showed that the sense of sight has an important role in responding to a stimulus, producing memory, and perception in a setting. The involvement of other senses besides the sense of sight in the creation of environmental settings is important because through the entire senses will be produced an increasingly specific, distinctive, and personal meaning of place. The resulting meaning will then become a long-term memory that can be expressed to the audience to further reinforce the collective meaning of the place.

Unplanned dense settlements in the development pay little attention to the technical aspects of the building and the environment, one of which is high humidity conditions and circulation pathways. Circulation in settlements can also function as wind circulation, which can affect natural ventilation, comfort, and the health of residents. This study uses a quantitative method with a descriptive approach to describe the relationship between the circulation width variable and the wind speed variable. The results of periodic field observations and measurements are then interpreted descriptively to determine the effect of circulation width on wind flow in densely populated settlements in Taman Sari, Bandung. The results showed that outdoor circulation close to open spaces had better wind speeds compared to areas far from open spaces.

Authors: Lawrence Kade E. , Lawrence Ty E.
Published: August 2023

Our objective was to test the effects of freezing temperature and frequency on purge loss and tenderness of eye of round steaks. Commercially sourced USDA Choice beef semitendinosus (n=10) were aged 24 d postmortem. Twelve steaks were cut from each muscle and randomly assigned to 1 of 12 treatments in a 4×3 factorial treatment structure(unfrozen control at 2.2°C or initial freezing at −17.8°C, −26.1°C, or −34.4°C followed by secondary freezing at −17.8°C, −26.1°C, or −34.4°C). Steaks were weighed after cutting and after thawing following each freezing treatment to determine purge losses. Tenderness was assessed via Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF); all data were analyzed via mixed models. Lower total purge losses (6.27%) were observed for steaks initially unfrozen (P<0.001), whereas those initially frozen at −34.4°C, −26.1°C, and −17.8°C lost 8.04%, 8.80%, and 8.53%, respectively. No difference (P>0.501) in WBSF was detected among the freezing treatments. These results suggest that freezing temperature and thus freezing rate impact purge loss of eye of round steaks, but mechanical tenderness was not influenced.

Published: August 2023

This letter presents the design and implementation of a K-band
four-element dual-beam phased-array receiver with more than 28.14 dB
transmit-receive isolation in 65-nm CMOS SOI for SATCOM applications. By
properly designing the inter-stage and output matching networks of the
four-stage low noise amplifier, the isolation between the transmit and
receive chains of the full-duplex shared-aperture phased-array antenna
system can be effectively enhanced to meet the practical requirements.
In addition, to meet the demands of precise phase shifts of phased-array
systems, an active vector-modulated phase shifter with low power
consumption, small area occupation, and positive gain is designed. Based
on the proposed methodology, a K-band four-element dual beam
phased-array receiver operating from 17.7 to 21.2 GHz is designed and
measured. The measurement results show the transmit-receive isolation is
greater than 28.14 dB, the single-channel gain is 21.48-25.31 dB, and
the noise figure is 2.42-2.77 dB over the entire working frequency.
Meanwhile, the measured RMS gain error and RMS phase error are less than
0.43 dB and 3.8°, respectively.

The application of metabolomics for studying modifications in host
metabolism due to viral infections has proven to be a game-changing
approach. Prior to our study, only one other ‘omics’ study has been
carried out that investigates the interplay between the host and CCHFV
and its subsequent pathogenesis. We employed NMR spectroscopy, given its
advantages in terms of reproducibility, minimal sample preparation, and
capability to analyze complex biofluids. Our methodology builds upon the
proven success of metabolomics in the research of other viral
hemorrhagic fevers such as Ebola, Marburg, and Dengue. Our research
underlines the critical role of SAH, a metabolite involved in numerous
biochemical reactions. We provide new insights into the metabolic
alterations occurring in CCHF patients. These alterations not only shed
light on the disease’s pathogenesis but also pave the way for potential
biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Among all the metabolites detected,
S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine and Carnosine stood out as the most prevalent,
warranting further exploration of their roles in CCHFV pathogenesis and
their potential as therapeutic targets.
Evaluating the Use of Seasonal Surface Displacements and Time-Variable Gravity to Constrain the Interior of Mars
Authors: Wagner Nicholas L. , James Peter Benjamin , Ermakov Anton , Sori Michael Manuel
Published: August 2023

The mass transport of volatiles on Mars represents a seasonally changing
load onto the lithosphere of the planet. Much like on Earth, as mass is
redistributed across the planet, the surface responds in a complex
manner becoming displaced downwards or upwards. The magnitude and extent
of displacement depend on the properties of the load and mechanical
properties of the planetary interior. Based on new estimates of the
height variation of the seasonal polar cap (SPC) we predict local
surface displacements of up to tens of millimeters with a strong degree
1 signal throughout the Martian year. The long-wavelength portion of the
displacement is potentially observable, with a magnitude of a few
millimeters, located away from the seasonal polar cap where we could
realistically measure it with a landed or orbital mission. We also model
the direct contribution of this process to observable time variable
gravity where we find the odd zonal coefficients to be in line with
previous measurements, although with a smaller magnitude. Future
measurements of this displacement could be used to help elucidate the
composition of the mantle and crust of Mars, using this process as a
probe into the Martian interior. Furthermore, more refined measurements
of time-variable gravity would be a powerful tool in constraining the
pole-to-pole volatile cycle present on Mars.
Influence of microstructure and crystallographic texture on hydrogen diffusion in IF-steel
Authors: Başkaya Ü. , Uzun R. , Davut K. , Kiliç Y. , Gündüz O.
Published: August 2023

The relation between microstructure, crystallographic texture, and hydrogen diffusion was studied on a IF-steel. The steel samples were deep drawn to a strain level of 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% and then the hydrogen diffusion coefficients were determined using the Helios II system. Light optical microscope (LOM), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) were used for microstructural characterization and crystallographic texture studies. The dependence of microstructural parameters was evaluated by Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) values. These evaluations showed that local misorientations, crystallographic texture, and dislocation densityare interdependent. The PCC values show that grain size and dislocation density are the independent microstructure related parameters. These parameters were used to build a model to predict the hydrogen diffusion coefficient by multiple linear regression analysis. A sensitivity analysis was also performed with this model to understand to which parameter the hydrogen diffusion is most sensitive. The results of this analysis show that hydrogen diffusion is more sensitive to dislocation density, suggesting that dislocations are more effective trapping sites for hydrogen atoms. On the other hand, grain boundaries are less effective trapping sites since they also provide an additional diffusion mechanism.

All of the concentration in this research is reported in µg/m³. The average carcinogenic risk for the metals were 1.78×10-2, 3.32×10-3, 3.6×10-2, and 1.79×10-3 respectively for arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and nickel. The average non-carcinogenic risk of chromium, manganese, and mercury were 8.06×104, 77×10-4, and 1.22×10-2, respectively. According to the results, the variety of heavy metals in cement industry is more than in other industries, while the concentration of heavy metals in zinc smelting and atomic energy industries was more than remain. Zinc showed the highest average concentration and chromium showed the highest expected risk of carcinogenicity for occupational exposure.
Research on Judicial Practice of Crime of Refusing to Pay Labor Remuneration: Case Study
Authors: Na Jiang
Published: August 2023

The crime of refusal to pay labour remuneration has been implemented in China for more than a decade, but its standard of conviction and effects in practice are yet to be further examined. By analysing the judicial cases, this article finds that some constitutive elements of this crime are quite obscure and controversial and there is a lack of uniformity in the scale of penalties, resulting in a mismatch between the severity of crime and punishment. In order to achieve the goal of combating the behavior of malicious non-payment of wages, it is recommended that the subject of this crime should be expanded, the subject intent of the criminal should be underscored, and the penalties shall be appropriate to the severity of the criminal’s behavior, so as to reach a balance between the combat of crimes and protect the legitimate interests of workers, as well as maintain the social economic order.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive and malignant tumor that can arise in the central nervous system, including the spinal cord. We presented two cases of GBM in spinal cord and cerebellum, respectively. First, 36-year-old female who presented to our clinic with a two-month history of progressive lower and upper extremities weakness and numbness. He also reported difficulty with urination and defecation. Second patient was 19 years-old-man with history of extremities weakness and neck pain. MRI demonstrated enhanced intra-medullary tumor in cervical spine. Both patients underwent surgical resection, followed by radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Further researches are needed to identify optimal treatment strategies and improve outcomes for patients with GBM in the spinal cord. Close monitoring and follow-up care are essential to manage potential complications and optimize quality of life for affected individuals.

A Social Bird Species Ending Solitary: Flocking and Breeding Aspects of Greater Rheas (Rhea americana) in the Brazilian Dry Forest Region
Authors: Tubelis Dárius Pukenis
Published: August 2023

Populations of numerous bird species have been declining around the world due to factors such as habitat loss and hunting. This involves the reduction of flock size of social species in non-protected landscapes. The Greater Rhea (Rhea americana) historically occurred in flocks of up to 30 individuals in the Caatinga, the Brazilian dry forest region. The objective of this study was to examine the composition of flocks of the Greater Rhea in the Caatinga through citizen science data. Breeding aspects also were studied. Searches for photographic records were done in the WikiAves platform in April 2023. As some birds could be out of frame, the authors of photographs were consulted to confirm flock size. A total of 112 records of Greater Rheas, including eight with breeding evidence, were found and included in this study. Most of them have been obtained by citizens in central and eastern Caatinga. Among the 104 records with only adults, most (n = 77; 74%) showed a single adult, while 23 (22%) had a pair, and only three (3%) showed three adults; these percentages referred to 38%, 20% and 15% when considering only those records (n = 45) with flock size confirmed by authors of photographs. Only three records had 20-25 adults confirmed by authors. Breeding records comprised a nest with six eggs, a nest with an incubating adult, and six families with 1-2 adults and 1-8 young. Our results indicate that Greater Rheas currently found in non-protected landscapes in the Caatinga tend to occur solitary or in small groups. If this situation persists or get worse, Greater Rheas might become extinct in numerous Caatinga regions. We suggest that conservation programs reintroduce the subspecies R. americana americana in protected and non-protected landscapes throughout Caatinga regions where it originally occurred. Educational programs also are welcome to reduce or avoid their hunting in current and future areas of occurrence in this dry forest region.
In vitro Scolicidal Effect of Ethonolic Extracts of Juglans regia and Carica papaya on Hydatid Cysts of Sheep and Goats from North Western Himalayas
Authors: U Din Sofi Omer Mohi
Published: August 2023

Over a century ago, there are anecdotal stories of the use of therapeutic antihelminthic plants, such as papaya (Carica papaya) against cestode infections. Various studies have explored the efficacy of traditional plants in the inactivation of protoscolices and have reported the scolicidal effect of plants. Further, these plants have relatively lower side effects compared to chemotherapeutic agents and are suggested to be used for treatment of this disease in humans as well. Thus, in the present study the in vitro scolicidal effect of C. papaya and J. regia on Echinococcus granulosus protoscolices was explored from sheep, goat and human cysts in Jammu region of North Western Himalayas. The ethanolic extracts of J. regia and C. papaya showed significant scolicidal activity against E. granulosus, under in-vitro conditions with reference to the known standard drug “Praziquantel”. Against J. regia, highest mortality was observed at 30 mg/ml concentration at different exposure time as 10 min. (88.58%), 20 min. (91.24%), 30 min. (93.16%) and 40 min. (96.64%). Against C. papaya, highest mortality was observed at 30 mg/ml concentration at different exposure time as 10 min. (82.95%), 20 min. (85.83%), 30 min. (90.23%) and 40 min. (92.95%).
Management of a Case of Acute Ischaemic Stroke with Large Vessel Occlusion in an LVAD Patient; A UK Secondary Medical Center Experience
Authors: Elkammash Amr
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are getting more popular in managing advanced heart failure patients. The implantation of LVADs is associated with neurological complications, including ischemic stroke or intracranial hemorrhage. There are no current guidelines on how to manage these neurological complications. In this report, we presented an LVAD patient with a large ischemic cerebral infarct and subarachnoid hemorrhage simultaneously and outlined our approach to managing these complications without affecting the LVAD function. Case presentation: A 34- year-old gentleman with an LVAD to bridge him to heart transplantation presented with acute left-sided body weakness of an undetermined time of onset. His CT head showed a large right middle cerebral artery infarct. He was not a thrombolysis candidate due to the undetermined onset of his stroke, the anticoagulation he was on for the LVAD, and the signs of infarct maturation in the CT head. We managed him in a multidisciplinary team approach holding the Aspirin and Warfarin he was taking and doing serial CT imaging of his brain to monitor the development of brain edema. The patient developed a small subarachnoid hemorrhage on day 2, that spontaneously resolved on day 5. We started him on unfractionated heparin on day 7 and Warfarin on day 10. We made an excellent recovery of his neurological function without impairment of the function on the LVAD. Conclusion: Simultaneous ischemic stroke and brain hemorrhage are a challenge in LVAD patients. A closely monitored stoppage of antithrombotics and serial brain imaging can guide the treatment. Regular assessment of LVAD function is mandated. Antithrombotics could be carefully reintroduced under surveillance brain scanning to maintain the LVAD function.

Preservice Teachers’ Experiences in Experiential Instruction in Place Value
Authors: Ali Clement Ayarebilla
Published: August 2023

This study explored Kolb’s four-phase experiential learning cycle in the teaching and learning of place value at the University level. I deployed quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a sample of 42 preservice teachers who are undergoing education and training in the University to be become teachers. The first  21 received Kolb’s experiential model (experimental group) while the second 21 received traditional problem solving models as control group. In the tests, the performance of the preservice teachers in the experimental and control groups were compared using robust statistical t-test and ANCOVA analyses. The results showed that even though traditional Polya’s problem solving and scientific models were widely acknowledged, Kolb’s experiential principles of concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization and active experimentation propelled  educational theory and practice into a new direction and focusing on much on the role that experience plays in the learning process. A follow up content analyses of four students’ sample work showed that Kolb’s experiential learning better developed their critical thinking and problem solving skills, effective communication skills, modern technology use, self-directions, and understanding in place value problems. Based on these findings, it is recommended that mathematics educators refocus and tailor their instructional techniques to Kolb’s experiential model of problem solving while bridging the gaps with the traditional problem solving strategies.

Published: August 2023

This study explores using traditional farming tools in an ethnomathematics context in Hutamanik Village, Sumbul District. The research method used is qualitative, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The collected data were analyzed with an ethnomathematics approach. Ethnomathematics in traditional agricultural tools can help people maintain local wisdom and strengthen cultural identity. The results showed that conventional farming tools, such as a water drum, coffee mill, sharpener, saw, hoe, and sickle, were used. Cultural, economic, and geographic factors influence the use of these tools. These tools contain mathematical concepts like measurement, comparison, and geometry. An ethnomathematics approach can be applied in learning mathematics to motivate students to learn mathematics because they can see that mathematics is related to everyday life. For this reason, it is suggested that future researchers explore ethnomathematics in different contexts.

Authors: Szymczyk Emil , Rećko Maciej , Dzierżek Kazimierz , Sapiołko Karol
Published: August 2023

Modified LCD-based method was used to print three-dimensional (3D) elements. This innovative method combines printing the external shell and filling, thus obtaining mould by casting resin. In order to compare the properties of prints obtained with this method with the ones fabricated in a standard procedure, we conducted bending tests of vertically/horizontally printed and shell-printed cast specimens. The shell-cast samples showed higher flexural strength and larger values of apparent Young’s modulus. The presented results also concern the kinetics of curing samples obtained with different fabrication routes.

Achievements of Cardiology in the Investigation of Diagnostic Criteria and Predictors of Complications in the Blood Circulatory System in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease Combined with Arterial Hypertension (Literature Review and Own Results)
Authors:   National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya, Denesiuk V.
Published: August 2023

Introduction. It is generally accepted, that activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is the first step in the development of hypertension, subsequently leading to the formation of atherosclerotic lesions in blood vessels of heart, brain, kidneys, aorta, and further alteration of peripheral vessels. Some time after the onset of hypertension, left ventricle hypertension develops, inducing various forms of coronary heart disease, strokes, etc. Currently the above circumstances turned to be a global problem of cardiology and medicine. However, data on diagnostic criteria and the evaluation of these combined diseases prognostic predictors are far from complete. The aim of the study. To reflect achievements of modern cardiology in the investigation of criteria predicting complications in the blood circulatory system. Materials and methods. A review of 51 articles is supplemented with author`s own results. Results. It is estimated that arterial hypertension induce hypertrophy of the left ventricle with further cardiac remodeling, which contributes to myocardial infarction, strokes, and cardiac arrhythmias. In patients with coronary heart disease combined with hypertension, structural reorganization of myocardium is supplemented with remodeling of cardiac conducting system resulting with ventricular extrasystoles, atrial fibrillation, etc. Predictors of acute left ventricular failure and chronic heart failure have been published in the literature. Due to our observations, coronary heart disease in patients with hypertension correlates with disturbances in central hemodynamics, decreased contractile function of the left ventricle, changes in blood supply of different pulmonary zones, significant disturbances in tissue metabolism, these pathological signs leading to the development of chronic heart failure, arrhythmias and heart blockage, disorders of cerebral blood circulation. Conclusion. The obtained results make it possible the identification of diagnostic criteria and predictors of various circulatory complications in patients with the diagnosed coronary heart disease combined with hypertension. However, more observations are needed to get new insight into the pathogenic mechanisms of complications development, further specification of their predictors and creating more effective methods of their prevention. Keywords: prediction of malignant arrhythmias, atrial fibrillation, left ventricular hypertrophy.
Advances in the Investigation of Vascular Remodeling and Endothelial Function in Heart Disease Over the Past Decades (Literature Review and Own Results)

Published: August 2023

Introduction. Studies of vascular remodeling and endothelial dysfunction induced by different cardiological pathologies are far from complete. The aim of the study. To analyze recent advances in the investigation of vascular remodeling and endothelial dysfunction on the background of cardiological diseases according to literature database and own research results. Materials and methods. Literature survey of 49 articles was supplemented with own research results. Results. By means of dopplerography it was detected brachial artery hypertrophy, which is a risk factor for myocardial infarction and stroke. Endothelium, which secretes vasoactive substances (nitric oxide – NO, endothelin-1, prostacyclin, thromboxane, etc.) plays an important role in the histophysiology of coronary arteries. Dysfunction of endothelium plays a key role in the development of atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, hypertension, heart failure even before the appearance of clinical signs of diseases. In myocardial infarction, the development of endothelial dysfunction was detected by various methods. The predictors of an unfavorable prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction with elevated ST-segment include a violation of endothelium-dependent vasodilatation as revealed by test for hyperemia. Similarly, an unfavorable prognostic factor in myocardial infarction is the increased level of endothelin-1. Conclusions. In patients with arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease, unstable angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, hypertrophic remodeling of the brachial artery alongside with a decrease in endothelium-dependent vasodilatation were detected by various older and new methodes. Currently it is generally accepted that changes in arteries and disruption of endothelial function are the root cause of diseases of the heart and blood vessels. On the basis of the conducted research, correction of the detected changes is carried out, aimed at preventing the progression of diseases of the cardiovascular system. Keywords: vascular remodeling, endothelial dysfunction, heart diseases.

One of the current needs of the labor market and stakeholders in Politeknik Negeri Jember is a study program under the communication discipline, namely Media Production. In order to realize the new study program in media production, Politeknik Negeri Jember appointed a task force team to establish the Media Production Study Program. This task force worked together to make the proposals for establishment of the new study program. The results of the literature study show that the flow of communication took place from top to bottom. The flow of communication activity brought messages to be delivered to the recipients. There were three message functions carried out in this activity, namely task messages, maintenance messages, and update messages. There were also three communications that were used, namely vertical downward communication, upward vertical communication, and horizontal communication. The recent study tried to elaborate those three message functions and usages. This study utilized a qualitative paradigm, with no intention of carrying out hypothesis testing, generalization, and is intersubjective. Moreover, this research was a descriptive research that focuses on a systematic, factual and accurate description of the facts.
El reflejo de la cultura tradicional China en el “Derecho de la Persona”: el Código Civil de la República Popular China como ejemplo
Authors: Deng Pan , Qiong Cang
Published: August 2023

Las leyes civiles reflejan explícitamente la relación interpersonal en el campo jurídico. La dinámica de la ley civil ha de estar enraizada en la cultura tradicional y los hábitos interpersonales en un determinado país. El recién promulgado Código Civil Chino toma nota de la relación entre el valor básico de la ley civil y la cultura tradicional. Por un lado, la valía del individuo y las reglas de la comunicación interpersonal en la cultura tradicional china se determinan a través de los artículos; mientras que, por el otro lado, para la cultura tradicional que no puede ser incluida completa o directamente en el Código Civil, se logra la integración al máximo a través de cuatro métodos: establecer directrices orientativas; estipulación por otros documentos normativos supletorios; dejar espacio suficiente para la aplicación y práctica judicial; y, el respecto por el derecho consuetudinario y la costumbre.

Os abusos sexuais são um problema transversal que afeta diferentes sociedades. Outubro de 2017 assumiu-se como um período de viragem, devido ao aparecimento do movimento #MeToo. Neste artigo, propomo-nos analisar os conteúdos publicados por três jornais online portugueses para responder a: 1) qual a representatividade do movimento na imprensa online portuguesa? Foi feito o levantamento do conteúdo das notícias, a fim de aferir: 2) a diferença ou semelhança entre conteúdos publicados pelos jornais online em análise. Do estudo feito, conclui-se que há maior proliferação de informação nos media nacionais de notícias relacionadas com o impacto do movimento no panorama internacional e pouca representatividade do movimento em casos portugueses.
A EXPERIÊNCIA DE MULHERES QUE ESCOLHERAM NÃO TER FILHOS: UMA REVISÃO DE ESTUDOS EMPÍRICOS
Authors: Moraes Ribeiro Laura , Sobreira Lopes Rita
Published: August 2023

A relevância de investigar as experiências de mulheres que escolheram não ter filhos destaca-se pela permanência da expectativa social em torno da maternidade, apesar do aumento da opção de não ter filhos. Atesta-se a importância de compreender o que tem sido investigado nos cenários nacional e internacional para destacar os avanços na área e os aspectos que devem nortear as próximas investigações. Assim, este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar uma revisão sistemática da literatura nacional e internacional acerca da experiência de mulheres que escolheram não ter filhos. Foi utilizada a base de dados internacional PsycInfo, utilizando os descritores: “Childfree”, “Childless by choice”, “Voluntary childless”. E as bases de dados nacionais Lilacs, Scielo e Pepsic, utilizando o descritor: “não-maternidade”. Foram incluídos artigos empíricos, publicados entre 2010 e 2020, nos idiomas inglês, português e espanhol. Ao total foram selecionados 14 artigos para esta revisão. Trata-se de pesquisas qualitativas acerca da experiência destas mulheres, em que se foca nas motivações, no processo de decisão, na percepção de maternidade e nas repercussões desta escolha nos relacionamentos estabelecidos por estas mulheres. Os estudos internacionais tem demonstrado tendências teóricas e metodológicas que não são utilizadas no contexto nacional, como a descrição detalhada das participantes e a utilização de teorias de gênero e da sexualidade. Portanto, ressalta-se a importância de realização de mais estudos, sobretudo no contexto brasileiro, considerando a escassez da literatura nacional sobre esse fenômeno. Ressalta-se a importância de utilizar determinadas tendências propostas pelos estudos internacionais, pois representam uma complexificação dos estudos na área.
