Authors: Irawati Sherly , Meilani Yohana F. C. P.
Published: November 2024

The aims this study is to analyze the effect of work-life balance, career development, and compensation on turnover intention in Generation Z in e-commerce marketplace companies in Jabodetabek. This study uses a quantitative method, where primary data is collected through online questionnaires from 161 generation Z employees in Jabodetabek e-commerce companies. The data were analyzed using smartPLS 4.1.0.2 to test the research hypotheses. Based on the analysis, it was found that work-life balance and career development have a negative and significant effect on turnover intention of Generation Z employees in Jabodetabek e-commerce companies. Meanwhile, compensation has a negative but insignificant effect on the turnover intention of Generation Z employees in the same company. However, this research model does not explain well and has weak predictive ability on turnover intention (R²=0.131, Q²=0.073), so it needs to be tested further with a larger population and additional independent variables. This study can help the management of e-commerce marketplace companies to continue to evaluate compensation, improve career development programs, and offer work flexibility to increase the loyalty of generation Z employees.

Published: November 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a significant role in the educational sector, offering lecturers and students innovative ways of teaching and learning, assessment, acquiring skills, communicating, sharing, creating, grading and interacting with learning materials. Unfortunately, Nigerian universities are yet to fully explore AI in their educational activities, which may be due to inadequate awareness, lecturers' attitudes, lack of self-efficacy, opposition to change, and lack of adequate preparedness to utilise AI. Hence, this study assessed lecturers' awareness of artificial intelligence for education in a Nigerian university. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. A sample of 271 lecturers was selected using a proportionate stratified random sampling technique. The study was guided by two research questions and a corresponding research hypothesis. A researcher-designed structured questionnaire was used for data collection, which four experts validated. The questionnaire was pilot-tested, and the data obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using the Cronbach alpha correlation formula, and a reliability coefficient of 0.87 was obtained. Descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. The findings of the study revealed that lecturers are aware of AI, with a grand mean of 2.57. Independent samples t-test analysis showed that t = 1.047, p > 0.05, indicating no significant difference in the mean response of male and female university lecturers' level of awareness of artificial intelligence for education. In light of the findings, it was recommended that conferences, seminars and workshops should be organised for lectures to increase their level of awareness of the numerous opportunities that AI can provide in augmenting their educational activities, enabling an environment with adequate facilities that will enable lecturers to acquire adequate knowledge on the use of AI should be provided by education stakeholders.

Application of artificial intelligence in career development of women in STEM field: Counseling, network construction and recruitment
Authors: Ding Huanhuan
Published: November 2024

With the rapid development of science and technology, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) is increasingly extensive, which provides a new idea for solving the challenges of women's career development in STEM. This paper deeply discusses the application of AI in counseling, network construction and recruitment of women's STEM career development, aiming at promoting gender equality and women's career growth. In career counseling, AI technology provides customized career advice and development path for women through deep learning and big data analysis. According to personal education background, skill level, hobbies and career goals, the system intelligently recommends suitable career directions, and updates industry trends and job market data in real time to help women make more informed career choices. The AI tutoring system also enhances women's professional self-confidence through functions such as simulated interviews and career planning exercises. In terms of network construction, AI helps women to expand their professional networks more effectively through intelligent recommendation system. Based on user behavior data and preferences, AI accurately recommends industry seminars, technical exchange activities and online communities to promote women to establish contacts with like-minded professionals. AI also assists women in managing and maintaining network relationships, ensures the continuity of network interaction through intelligent reminding functions, and identifies key nodes and influential people to enhance network quality. In the recruitment process, AI technology reduces gender bias and improves the fairness and transparency of recruitment through automatic resume screening, standardized interview process and competency-based evaluation model. AI system can analyze a large amount of data, accurately match the skills and job requirements of female candidates, and improve the employment rate of women in STEM field. At the same time, through transparent algorithm decision-making process and fairness check, the potential gender bias problem in AI algorithm is overcome. The research in this paper provides theoretical support and practical guidance for using AI technology to promote women's career development in STEM field, and helps to build a more equal and inclusive scientific and technological working environment.
Bilingualism Policies and Bilingual Education Programs in European Countries: The Example of Belgium
Authors: İnce Bekir
Published: November 2024

In our increasingly globalized world, bilingualism is essential. Europe emphasizes bilingualism with the recommendation that every European be fluent in two additional European languages besides their native tongue. Belgium is notably multilingual: 59% speak Flemish, primarily in the north; 40% speak French, mainly in the Walloon region; and a minority speaks German. In Brussels, both French and Flemish are prevalent. Most Belgian companies favor bilingual employees. The study's purpose is to examine bilingualism in Belgium, a multilingual hub and Europe's administrative center.This qualitative case study uses document analysis, observation, and interviews. The bilingual program at the 'L’athénée Léonie De Waha' secondary school in the Walloon region serves as the focus.In the Walloon and Brussels regions, several bilingual initiatives exist. Some Walloon schools employ the immersion method. Brussels has both French and Flemish schools, with many families choosing the latter for a bilingual edge. 75% of Brussels residents support bilingual education, leading some schools to adopt the immersion method. The Foyer Integration Center also offers multilingual programs for children, including non-Belgians.
Revisiting The Role of Enver Bey In The 31 March Incident
Authors: Uçar Furkan , Saygılı Hasip
Published: November 2024

The 31 March Incident is a significant event that left a lasting mark on the final years of the Ottoman Empire due to its causes and consequences. This uprising, which opposed the Constitutional regime, resulted in Sultan Abdülhamid II being deposed and his brother, Sultan Reşad, ascending the throne. In this context, Staff Major Enver Bey, who had played a pivotal role in the proclamation of the Constitutional Monarchy, was once again actively involved in the course of events, marking a critical advancement in his military and political career. However, many studies in the literature have not sufficiently examined Enver Bey’s role following the 31 March (13 April 1909) revolt. This study seeks to revisit the role of Enver Pasha, who wielded significant influence over the empire’s fate in its final years, specifically in the suppression of the 31 March Incident and the period that followed. Although the event itself will be discussed, the focus will primarily be on Enver Bey’s perspective. To this end, memoirs and archival sources will be utilized to illuminate Enver Bey's role in the dethronement of Abdülhamid and his activities in Istanbul during the rebellion. The article will examine the influence of Enver Bey’s presence as a military attaché in Berlin when the 31 March Incident erupted, his swift arrival in Istanbul to confront the insurgents, his loss of a close comrade during these conflicts, and the trauma this caused him, along with his actions in this context. Additionally, within the scope of this incident, Enver Bey’s interactions with Staff Captain Mustafa Kemal Bey, who would later become the founding leader of the Republic, will be assessed, and findings will be presented regarding the impact of the suppression of the rebellion on Enver Bey’s charisma.
Evaluation on Greek and Balkanic borrowings in Spanish and Albanian, in glotodidactics of Spanish to Albanians
Authors: Beqaj Alba , Derjaj Adriatik
Published: November 2024

In this study, we aim to highlight the place of Greek borrowings in the Spanish language and in Albanian, concerning Spanish learning as a foreign language among Albanians. After we have given a synchronous view of the current situation of the Spanish language in Albania, we will stop and separate the phenomena and cases of borrowings from ancient Greek, the importance they have for Albanian and the features we encounter during the didactics of the Spanish language. We will highlight the influence of ancient languages, especially Greek, which has influenced the lexical level of the languages in question, and consequently the terms we encounter in science, culture, literature and art. After a brief overview of the history of the Spanish language, we have also classified words in several lexical fields. In the end, we will single out the role of Greek borrowings in the didactics of Spanish in the framework of the known and the unknown. These borrowings are part of the known, such as the case of photography and hydrology, which, based on the hypotheses of Krushen and Thomason, facilitate the learning of a foreign language.
Love is Glorious: The Analysis of Emotional Education Culture of Film “To Our Youth That Is Fading Away”
Authors: Wan Chi , Liu Chengyi
Published: November 2024

About the educational films, most of the existing studies in academia and culture are based on the construction of theoretical perspectives, or the discussion of the narrative content and the transformation of themes of a certain genre, but there is a lack of important educational issues based on the analysis of film texts. As a popular narrative genre of educational films in China since the beginning of this century, “youth narrative” has a wide range of communication audiences, but for the audience, there is a need for more in-depth discussion of its educational meaning. Therefore, it is necessary to select typical case of “youth film” in China, describe the emotional education in detail, and try to put forward the theoretical category of “emotional education culture”, to show that for teenagers, the complex, mutual, reverberative and dislocated relationship of emotional space poses a great challenge to education.
Exploring the impact of corporate entrepreneurship on organizational performance in the ICT companies of Jordan: The moderating role of gender-diverse leadership

Published: November 2024

This study focuses on addressing challenges faced by Jordanian Information and Communication Technology (ICT) organizations, aiming to explore solutions for sector sustainability amid troubling economic conditions. Specifically, it investigates the impacts of Corporate Entrepreneurship (CE) and Top Management Team Gender Diversity (TMTGD) on the performance of these organizations. Furthermore, it also examines the moderating role of TMTGD within this context. To achieve these objectives, the study collects data from 300 employees considered part of the top management teams within Jordan's ICT sector. Utilizing Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the study estimated both measurement and structural models to thoroughly examine the data and proposed relationships. The findings indicate that CE and TMTGD have positive and statistically significant effects on organizational performance. However, the study also uncovers a nuanced pattern of interaction between these variables. Explicitly, it suggests that the presence of gender diversity within top management teams may attenuate the otherwise positive impact of CE on organizational performance. Hence, this research suggests that ICT companies should actively cultivate a corporate entrepreneurship culture to elevate their organizational performance. Furthermore, policymakers and leaders are encouraged to initiate training and educational programs addressing gender dynamics and biases with the goal of fostering a more inclusive and equitable workplace.
A Multimodal Analysis of Graffiti: A Case Study of Government Schools in Punjab, Pakistan
Authors: Abbas Waseem , Sajid Muhammad Akbar , Ahmad Ali
Published: November 2024

There have always been various modes of communication, and humans not only communicate verbally but non-verbally as well. Graffiti has been one of the effective means of communication. Different visual and verbal practices are employed in this type of communication. The present study decodes critically visual and verbal modes of communication used in graffiti. The data for the study in hand has been collected from government boys and girls schools in southern Punjab. The time span for data collection ranges from January to June 2023. The data has been analyzed by applying Fairclough’s (2003) model of Critical Discourse Analysis and Barthes's (1974) model of Semiological Discourse Analysis. The analysis of the data reveals that graffiti is one of the persuasive means of communication. Desired ideological messages could easily be conveyed to the target audience by employing this mode of communication. The percentage of graffiti discourses related to the promotion of female education in the collected data is higher (80%) as compared to data related to the promotion of education for male students (75%). This study contends that the element of change has been observed as far as the promotion of female education is concerned through graffiti of urban and rural schools for boys and girls.
Sarah Kane’s Cleansed and the interpretation of George Orwell’s 1984 in the play
Authors:   Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, Sibashvili Tatia
Published: November 2024

The article gives detailed analysis of Sarah Kane’s play Cleansed and the influence and interpretation of George Orwell’s novel 1984 in the play. Sarah Kane was the first dramatist, who fundamentally changed the 90’s British theatre and after her first play “Blasted” that was very scandalous the new style of plays became dominant on British stage called “In –yer- face” theatre. According to Sierz the widest definition of in-yer- face theatre is any drama that takes the audience by the scruff of the neck and shakes it until it gets the message. (Sierz 4: 2001) The primary function of this kind of theatre is to cause sensation. In-yer-face theatre urges the audience and actors to deviate conventional norms and takes the audience an emotional journey, getting under their skin. A play’s content may be provocative because it’s expressed in confrontational language or stage images, but its power as drama greatly depends on its form. The further a play departs from the conventions of naturalism, especially those of three-act drama, the more difficult it is for many in the audience to accept. It’s easy for the audience to accept shocking material if it’s described traditionally. This kind of play is Sarah Kane’s Cleansed that was premiered in April 1998, that marked her return not only the Royal Court but also for the first time onto the main stage in one of the major productions of that season. As David Greig mentions in the introductions of her complete plays, Cleansed is yet another step away from naturalism. She completely striped away the explanatory narrative and presented the audience with a series of poetic images and pared dialogue.” (Greig: 3. 2001) The set of the play develops in a former university now transformed into some kind of an institution where one of the main character Tinker controls and transforms the characters. The episodic structure of the play is taken from Georg Buchner’s Woyzeck that was staged by her in 1997. The story and the structure of the play is disconnected. The couples and their love story are presented throughout the play such as: the identical twins Grace and Graham, Carl and Rod, Grace and Robin, Tinker and Woman, Tinker and Grace. Each relationship is broken and doesn’t have a happy ending of course but the main question of the play is what one can endure for the sake of love. Besides of the fact that Tinker is in the role of Big Brother and sees everything: “Tinker is watching”, the direct allusion in the play is Carl’s words: “Carl - Not me please not me don’t kill me Rod not me don’t kill me ROD NOT ME ROD NOT ME.” (Kane 2001:117). We may think that Kane like Orwell creates some kind of micro-world, where rules and regulations are constructed only to torture humans, therefore they could not have time to love and be happy.
Discourse in Postmodern:Interpretation or Disruption of the Communicative Function of a Language
Authors:   Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, Asatiani Rusudan
Published: November 2024

The communicative function of language involves not only the transmission of a message containing information but also the decoding and understanding of this message. According to Roman Yakobson, to communicate, in addition to the actors (respectively, the addresant and the addressee) and the information itself, it is necessary to have a common cultural background (respectively, discourse). The sign, which is a symbiotic whole of meaning and form, functions only in a society that creates a unified common discourse for all individuals speaking this language. Modernism is characterized by the experimental radical break of the traditional forms of a sign whereas postmodernism is characterized by the deconstruction of the conventional meaning of a sign as it is shared in society, logically resulting in the disappearance of a content of socially conventional common “sign”. According to Ferdinand de Saussure, a linguistic sign is rather a product of complicated psychophysiological processes than a pure nomenclatural link between a thing and a name – it is the link between a concept and a sound pattern. The sound pattern is the hearer’s psychological impression of a sound as given to him by the evidence of his senses. This sound pattern may be called a ‘material’ element only in that it is the representation of our sensory impressions. The sound pattern may thus be distinguished from another element associated with it within a linguistic sign. This other element is generally of a more abstract kind: the concept, which is a result of abstraction, generalization, and categorization of specific sensory impressions. However, the form of the postmodern sign establishes a symbiotic relationship not with the concept, but with specific, discursively divided perceptions, and marks the concepts formed in this particular discourse. This matter makes it impossible to realize the main, communicative function of a language: if the abstraction of specific representations, i.e., concepts, among the speakers of one language is not unified, with specific perceptions and representations operating only in specific discourses, communication becomes impossible to even between people speaking the same language. Communication involves not only the transmission of a message, but also the socialized decoding-understanding of information, and the sign formed in this way no longer allows this, as the decoding-identification of the sign becomes possible only in divided discourses of sub-societies. Communication between such deconstructed discourses is more like "translation" and thus naturally relates to motivation - does anyone want to "translate", that is, understand any text? This state of the language, according to the theoretical approach of Wilhelm von Humboldt, actually gives a more complex picture: virtual parallel worlds are created and communication between people in these virtual spaces becomes impossible if there is no desire to "translate".
The Interpretation of Wendell Ryder as New Adam in Djuna Barnes’ Ryder
Authors:   Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, Geliashvili Sophiko
Published: November 2024

Djuna Barnes’ Ryder, published in 1928, is connected to the period of her Parisian literary career. Horace Liveright publishing house heavily censored the text, and the original manuscript perished during the World War II. In 1979, St. Martin publishing house allowed Djuna Barnes to restore excerpts from the text, but the writer declined it. She thought she had said everything in the foreword to the first edition, and did not want to add anything else. In reality, Barnes did not remove a single word or phrase from the text but replaced them with asterisks, which further attracted the readers' attention to forbidden parts. Wendell Ryder, the main character of the novel, presents the modernistic image of New Adam. The author calls him Jesus Mundane whose main aim is to create a new religion.Wendell's symbolic connection with Jesus isconfirmed by the story of his conceiving in his mother’s womb. Sophia Grieve Ryder says she got pregnant after seeing Beethoven in her dream. In this case, Sophia appears in the role of the Virgin Mary, who by conception gave birth to Jesus Mundane. The Barnesian New Adam creates a religion highlighting carnal pleasures, dominance of nature, and giving birth to as many children as possible with the help of polygamous relationships. The hedonist Ryder rejects the rule of law or religion and lives with two wives, although he has relationships with many other women. The New Adam does not refrain from using the force to realize his idea of fertilization which gives him a status of a crueler nymphomaniac than the Son of God fighting for reproduction. On the one hand, such an approach is a rebellion against the Victorian era and an indication of its parody as well, when it was necessary to preserve the sacredness of the family, and polygamy was also considered the norm. On the other hand, Barnes is mocking the religious dogmas and the degraded modernity that has arisen on its basis, for which the notion of family has lost its value. Wendell's glorification of natural phenomena reveals the influence of Transcendentalists and embodies nostalgia for heaven. However, since he represents a kind of primitivenesscharacteristic for animals, his philosophy towards the world is perceived more grotesquely.Using Chaucerian language while describing Wendell in the “The Occupation of Wendell” the chapter turns out to be closely related to “The Tale of Sir Thopas”. It meticulously repeats its rhythm and structure. The author uses footnotes to explain archaic words and helps the reader understand her narration. By presenting the text this way, Barnes assumes the role of writer, philologist, and editor; She also reveals her ironic attitude because the reader has to follow the footnotes in order to understand the content. Djuna Barnes sets up a chain reaction between her novel and the tale in which Chaucer mocked monotonous chivalric romances. Thus Barnes parodied not only the 14th century poem but the character of Jesus Mundane.

The Syntactic Function of Peculiar Forms with -დ (-d) Formant and the Issue of Formal Agreement (Based on the K14 Manuscript)
Authors: Iobidze Davit
Published: November 2024

In the ancient Georgian, a noun had a –t suffix plural form in ergative, dative and genitive cases. Sometimes, the –t suffix plural form was also used in instrumental and adverbial cases. At a certain stage of the development of the language, nouns with the suffix -ta (-თა) were formed with the marker -d(a) (-დ(ა)). As a result, we got such forms: გონიერთადა (goniertada), საუნჯეთად (saunjetad), სხეულთად (sχeultad)... The article discusses similar R-ta-d(a) (R-თა-დ(ა)) structure forms. It also attempts to determine the reasons for their formation.[1] [1] This research № PHDF-21-5365 has been supported by Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia (SRNSFG).

Objetivou-se com este estudo, avaliar a eficácia de extratos de Ricinus communis, Azadirachta indica e Carica papaya sobre a mortalidade de lagartas da traça-da-couve (Plutella xylostella L.) na variedade de couve tronchuda. O arranjo experimental foi o delineamento de blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 4 x 4 e com quatro repetições, o primeiro fator foi composto por quatro tratamentos (extratos de três espécies vegetais e mais uma testemunha) e o segundo fator constituido por quatro tempos de avaliação (7, 14, 21 e 28 dias após aplicação). A aplicação de extrato de Carica papaya e Azadirachta indica contribuíram para menor porcentagem de infestação, menor nível médio de dano, menor densidade populacional de insetos e maior rendimento da couve tronchuda. E o fator tempo de avaliação (dias após aplicação), mostrou que a porcentagem de infestação foi reduzindo ao longo dos dias após aplicação e com maior significância aos 28 dias, isso contribuiu para que os tratamentos com os extratos de Carica papaya e Azadirachta indica obtivessem menor nível de dano, menor densidade populacional e maior rendimento.

Published: November 2024

A presente comunicação tem como principal objetivo demonstrar como a intervenção arquitetónica em contexto patrimonial e, particularmente, em contexto arqueológico, dada a sua própria especificidade, pode corresponder com naturalidade a uma intervenção claramente sustentável. Abordam-se as várias etapas da intervenção na ruína, que correspondem aos propósitos a alcançar para Conhecer, Proteger e Valorizar o bem patrimonial; materializados nas etapas da Escavação, Conservação e Valorização. Finalmente, apresenta-se um caso prático em curso, o projeto de Conservação e Valorização do Anfiteatro Romano da Ammaia, em Portugal; esperando que o mesmo se constitua, tanto quanto possível, como um exemplo demonstrativo das práticas por nós defendidas. A comunicação apoia-se em imagens exemplificativas e diretamente relacionadas com o texto, pois, como sempre dizem os arquitetos: “uma imagem vale mais do que mil palavras”.

The Efficacy of Virtual Physical Education and Its Contribution to Raising Learners' Interest and Engagement Levels
Authors: Mdhlalose Dickson
Published: November 2024

Background: Schools are reluctant to adapt physical education to virtual as it would be challenging to do physical education via virtual learning.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the contemporary efficacy of virtual physical education and its contribution to raising learners' interest and engagement levels.
Methods: This study employed an exploratory research design. The content was compiled using various printed and electronic textbooks, encyclopedias, reference materials, scholarly publications, and dissertations. Subsequently, the author assessed the multiple sources to ascertain the data's caliber.
Results: Conventional education is obsolete; thus, schools should adopt virtual physical education due to its positive outcomes in education regarding learners' performance by increasing learners' interest and engagement.
Conclusion: A properly planned and well-implemented virtual physical education, well-trained and experienced educators, well-guided learners, proper infrastructure, and supporting resources result in learners being interested and engaged, thus leading virtual physical education to success. This study bridges the gap between virtual physical education and learners' interest and engagement, adding to the existing corpus of information concerning virtual physical education.

Published: November 2024

Background: Athletes must maintain top physical condition to compete, with body composition a crucial indicator. Skeletal muscle mass and body fat are related to performance, with a lower fat percentage increasing physical ability. Nutritional needs also play a role, where athletes consume carbohydrates for 60-70% of their energy. These factors are essential for optimal performance and overall health.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the body composition of junior basketball athletes regarding gender.
Methods: This study employed a rigorous cross-sectional research design to analyze the body composition measurements of elite athletes and junior basketball players. The participants were carefully selected based on age, injury history, national-level achievements, and recent injury training. A total of 24 junior basketball athletes, evenly split between elite junior male and female athletes, participated in the test. The data was meticulously analyzed using Minitab software and the T-test to determine gender differences, ensuring the validity and reliability of the results.
Results: The athletes were aged 16-17, weighing 50-65 kg to 95-108 kg. They had BMI characteristics of 8.3% underweight, 79.2% normal, 12.5% overweight, and 0% obese. Significant differences were found in body composition characteristics for each gender. The T-test results show significant differences between the variables with a P value <0.05.  
Conclusion: They indicate that female basketball athletes tend to have a higher fat percentage, while male athletes typically possess significantly greater muscle mass. These insights can be instrumental in developing gender-specific training and nutrition programs, thereby enhancing the performance and health of junior basketball athletes.

Authors: Alim Novan Purnama , Supriatna Supriatna , Hanief Yulingga Nanda
Published: November 2024

Background: Swimming velocity results from a combination of stroke rate (SR) and stroke length (SL). Previously, it was rare to find studies that discussed the pattern of SR and SL length in Olympic swimmers, especially in breaststroke swimmers, as a benchmark reference in a study.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the practical pattern of the stroke rate (SR) and stroke length (SL) of 100 m and 200 m breaststroke swimmers ranked first to third at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
Methods: This study uses quantitative descriptive analysis research with non-test techniques using observation. These non-test techniques involve the systematic observation and recording of the SR and SL length of breaststroke swimmers at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, as this study aims to determine their patterns.
Results: The results of this study show: in the 100 meters breaststroke men's effective SR pattern (45-75 strokes/min) and SL length (1.33-2.14 m/stroke); 200 meters breaststroke men's effective SR pattern (33-49 strokes/min) and SL length (1.55-2.77 m/stroke); 100 meters breaststroke women's effective SR pattern (30-63 strokes/min) and SL length (1-2.14 m/stroke); and 200 meters breaststroke women's effective SR pattern (32-48 strokes/min) and SL length (1.6-2.5 m/stroke).
Conclusion: This research concludes that the effective pattern of SR and SL of 100 m and 200 m breaststroke swimmers, as identified in the results, can serve as a benchmark for understanding and improving the performance of competitive breaststroke swimmers.

El objetivo de esta investigación se basó en el análisis de las muertes maternas como un problema de salud pública en Ecuador, a través de una revisión bibliográfica, y un estudio de sus causas, sus consecuencias y de aspectos relevantes al tema de estudio, que permitirán conocer con mayor profundidad los problemas existentes en torno al tema escogido en esta investigación. Se aplicó una metodología de tipo documental con diseño bibliográfico y un enfoque cualitativo. Asimismo, se concluye que, los problemas de salud pública en el mundo generan una desmejora significativa en la calidad de vida de las personas, y es evidente que las muertes maternas han causado estragos a lo largo del tiempo. Ecuador demuestra que dista aun de una situación ideal de atención de salud para las personas, en especial las embarazadas, por lo que es necesario articular estrategias, políticas y normativas que contribuyan a la mejora del sistema de salud del país. Aunado a esto, es necesario educar a las futuras madres a tener que realizarse controles de forma continua durante todo el embarazo puesto que muchas muertes maternas pueden ser evitadas y controlar cualquier patología preexistente a tiempo. Finalmente es necesario analizar las muertes maternas no solo como un inconveniente que afecta a la familia, sino que debe ser evaluado desde el aspecto político, económico social y hasta psicológico ya que esto afecta en gran medida a toda la familia.
