Introduction: Perimenopause means “around the menopause”. The hormonal changes that occur during the perimenopausal transition are the gametogenic failure which is characterized by the reduced inhibin secretion which occurs in the early follicular phase, increased serum FSH and decreased fertility. The aim of this study is to deterine the effectiveness of deep breathing exercises and aerobic exercises on perimenopausal Women Methods: A total of 50participants will take part in the study. The participants will be chosen based on Inclusion criteria by a convenient sampling method. The participants will be divided into two groups: Group A: Control group (n=25) and Group B: Experimental group(n=25). The level of perimenopausal symptoms will assessed using menopause rating scale before the commencement of the intervention in both the groups. The Control group will receive Jacobson’s relaxation technique and the experimental group will receive deep breathing exercise and aerobic exercise. The treatment will be demonstrated to the participants through video demonstration. After the completion of the treatment protocol the perimenopausal symptoms will be evaluated again using the menopause rating scale in both the groups to assess the reduction of perimenopausal symptoms in both the groups and to find the effectiveness of deep breathing exercise and aerobic exercise in reduction perimenopausal symptoms. Results: The values were statistically analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. There was a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group. The result was significant at p<.05. Conclusion: This study, therefore, displays that deep breathing exercise and aerobic exercise are effective in reducing the somatic, psychological, and urogenital symptoms in perimenopausal women.

Health may not be a perfect balance point but efforts can be made to maintain the health in a perfect homeostatic range. Disrupted homeostasis is the underlying issue of all the diseases. Larger and longer the deviations of the body from homeostatic conditions, poorer the ability to regain the original functions will be. George E Billman stated ‘Homeostasis: The Underappreciated and Far Too Often Ignored Central Organizing Principle of Physiology'. Lack of clinical diagnosis and treatments on the basis of homeostasis could lead to public health damage, disingenuous medical curriculum, and eventually iatrogenic pseudoscience. Ivan Illich criticized iatrogenesis caused by treatments, health policies, medicalization of life and eradication of autonomous coping skills during illnesses. Antonovsky distinctly stated the salutogenesis was not limited by the disciplinary borders of one profession but rather an interdisciplinary approach and a question of bringing coherence between disciplines and realise what connects them through the people’s ability to comprehend the whole situation and the capacity to use the resources available [called as sense of coherence - SOC] to move in a health promoting direction. Prevention or healing of homeostatic disturbances obviously need interdisciplinary approach of various medical specializations including Physiotherapy. Intensifying impeccable prophylaxis, clinical applications and public health policies on the basis of homeostasis need in-depth and persistent emphasis on ‘Homeostaticology’, ‘Iatrogenicology’ and ‘Salutogenicology’.

Published: April 2022

Energy efficiency and renewable energy have become the twin towers of sustainable development and this ultimate goal can be achieved only if the energy conservation at all levels is efficiently practiced. Energy consumption is the world’s growing concern with building sector topping the energy consumers list. The buildings with its HVAC (Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning) components and other mechanical system have become one of the world’s largest energy consumers. The building envelope evolution have shown that the wider scope of façade system and glazing options, have further led to solar responsive challenges & massive energy loss. In College of Science & Technology, there are many active means of cooling installed at every corner of the building due to its location and extreme summer heat. Atrium at the east-front of ADM building have necessarily failed in regulating diurnal temperature due to its extensive glazing ratios and areas exposed to the direct sun rays. This research is an attempt to intervene the space: at structure as well as material level to maximize its thermal comfort during daytime through a simulation approach.

Authors: Khandaker Nadim Reza
Published: April 2022

Groundwater is the singular source of drinking water in Rohingya Refugee Camps, Cox Bazar Bangladesh. A study was conducted to assess the quality of the groundwater and its suitability as potable water. Samples collected from ten water points that are hand pumps connected to borehole wells locally called tube wells of Rohingya Camp16 were collected for analysis of water quality parameters. The water quality parameters that were measured were: pH, turbidity, total hardness, arsenic, manganese, iron, and total coliform. The results indicate that the water is moderately hard with pH values within regulatory limits. Some of the water samples exceed the limit for total iron based on the Government of Bangladesh regulatory standards. The water samples were arsenic free which is a relief for many localities in Bangladesh suffer from the purge of arsenic contaminated groundwater. Unfortunately, many of the water samples collected contains higher than accepted levels of manganese which can be an issue with prolonged consumption. Chronic exposure to manganese results in developmental problems in adolescents. The majority of the waters samples also showed the presence of total coliform and a sure indication that fecal contamination of the water wells is occurring. The water quality data points to a senior that calls for pragmatic water quality assurance and management measures for the sustainable wellbeing of the refugee communities in the refugee camps of Cox Bazar, Bangladesh. We will be putting forth evidence-based sustainable solutions to achieve a sustainable supply of safe drinking water to the Rohingya communities in the camps.

Published: April 2022

The world today is facing a major crisis in energy, environment and climate. Human activities such as building, transportation and industries have caused tremendous impact on the natural environment. The irreversible growth of cities is an indication of more cars on the road, more mobility and ultimately to more energy consumption. The expansion of urban areas leads to the development of transportation routes and increase in the number of vehicle ownership. Bhutan has opened its doors from being a landlocked country to an internationally recognized country. Trade and industry have become an important sector in building the country’s economy, with rapid infrastructure development. The realization of the energy crisis is as new as the urbanization trend although there is dire need to adopt green energy practices. This study explores various strategies based on the concept Green Urbanism, specified to the topic, Sustainable Transport. It presents the current transportation trend in one of the major cities of Bhutan to highlight the growth pattern and their issues that could possibly threaten the energy balance. The main emphasis is on how the issues can be solved with sustainable strategies to achieve a livable city.

Published: April 2022

The article reveals the problem of effective interaction of bank employees with customers, as well as the technological and innovative component of these relations. Currently, banks are focusing on the needs of the client and their satisfaction, on expanding the customer base and market share, which push the increase in profits into the background. It is this fact that forces credit institutions to invest in new projects to serve customers, while not causing inconvenience in the provision of services. The authors consider the possibility of improving existing forms of banking services by introducing new technologies and using biometrics technologies, which significantly reduce the time spent by client managers on departure and costs. To implement projects, the bank needs to attract partners in the face of IT companies and developers, as well as invest in the development of biometric technologies. The interaction of client managers of large, medium and small businesses, other clients – legal entities and individual entrepreneurs was chosen as the object of the study. The article analyzes the main forms of banking services and presents the classification of the remote form. The authors analyze the number of accounts with remote access for the period 2015-2020. Using the formula of the total cost of service, the authors reveal the effectiveness of the introduction of remote technologies by banks over the traditional form of service. The article also highlights focusing of modern banks on offering ecosystem products to customers, and analyzes the profitability of these activities. Based on the report on financial results, calculations were made and a forecast of the profitability of the implemented project was made using indicators of the present net income and the rate of return. Statistical data from the official websites of banks and the Federal State Statistics Service, as well as articles, other information materials of printed publications and Internet resources were used as an information base. In the course of the research, the authors used methods of statistical and comparative analysis, and gave a list of relevant sources.

Application of Project and Process Approaches on the Example of the Largest Banks of the Russian Federation
Authors:   Novosibirsk State University of Economics and Management, Russian Federation, Pozhidaeva Natalya
Published: April 2022

The article contains materials on the periodization of the application and development of project and process management in the banking sector of the Russian Federation in 2008–2021. Based on modern ideas about the economic (financial) crisis as a factor in stimulating innovation, including the banking sector, the author examines the consequences of the 2008–2009 and 2014–2015 crises and the corona crisis 2020-2021 as one of the answers to them - the introduction of project and process approaches by banks to improve banking processes. The author reveals the impact of the crisis (2008–2009) on the development and implementation by the largest banks of innovative technologies based on lean manufacturing approaches (Lean), the creation of their own production systems, as well as brief conclusions on the results of the application of lean management. The impact of the crisis of 2014–2015 is considered to stimulate innovation of commercial banks using the innovative Agile project approach, an innovative process approach based on the BPM (Business Process Management) model and other similar models. Process management and time-to-market reduction using the Agile approach are of particular relevance in the context of declining margins of the banking business and/or focusing on the best customer experience of leading Russian banks. Particular attention is paid to the innovations of 2020–2021, focused on the implementation of the ecosystem approach in the banking sector. The financial crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic (corona crisis) has greatly accelerated the social, economic and geopolitical processes taking place in the world, and it will be easier for those organizations that have wide product and service lines and create ecosystems that form a seamless customer experience. Project and process management discussed in the article are used in most of the largest Russian banks and their ecosystems at the present time.
Ethnogonic Texts in the Indo-European Tradition
Authors:   Novosibirsk National Research State University, Russian Federation, Proskurin Sergey ,   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation, Proskurina Anna ,   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation
Published: April 2022

This article examines the texts of the Indo-European tradition, which narrate about the myths of the origin of peoples. Thus, a segment of the Anglo-Saxon runic series correlates with Tacitus’s description of the origin of the Ingevon tribe. As a result, the parameters of the ethnically derived text are reconstructed. The parameters explain the choice of the sequence of the runes of the Anglo-Saxon Futhark. The restored text testifies that the Ingevons, who had the totem deity Ing, lived on the shores of the Ocean, and this was their homeland. Ethnogonic texts also tell about the correlation of totem and ethnonym in past eras. The German influence on the choice of the ethnonym Rus, determined by the alliterative connection of the name of the country with the name of Rurikovich, has been explained. The Rurikovich themselves came from the name of the Rhos tribe. Many ethnogonic texts are associated with sacrificial rituals. In this context, of interest is the name Italia, which takes its origin in the sacred texts of the high sacred style. The most ancient Indo-European inscription in the Lusitanian language, written in a high style and telling about the origin of the Veaminikori tribe, is analyzed. The choice of the names of sacred animals is contrasted with the profane names of the Latin prayer to the god Mars. The suouetaurilia prayer bears witness to the repertoire of sacrificial texts about dairy animals. As a result, it becomes clear that the name Italy is derived from the name uitulus in a high sacred style. Thus, the thematic contours of Indo-European texts containing ethnogonic myths about the origin of peoples are revealed. The boundaries between cultures are erased, and the Indo-European prototext comes to the fore, giving impetus to the genesis of ethnonyms, the naming of totems, as well as the names of their own tribal leaders. Thus, we can conclude that the sacred names of young dairy animals are represented in the Lusitanian language. In the rite of sacrifice, the scale of high style is attested. The name Italia refers precisely to the solemn sacred layer of vocabulary, but already as the implicit name of a Latin prayer to the god Mars. In the proportions of a proper name, rules for handling a name are incorporated, which vary from tradition to tradition. Attention is drawn to the special nature of ethnogonic texts that shed light on the origin of peoples. Cultural boundaries can be the limit that generates recognizable patterns that migrate from culture to culture.
Intercultural and Social Communication: Tolerance or Love?
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation, Zaytseva Tatyana
Published: April 2022

The research attempts at solving the problem of tolerance compatibility with Orthodox values. The concept of tolerance arouses ambiguous feelings in Russia. A fairly common point of view is that tolerance is recognized exclusively as a Western value, being completely foreign to the Orthodox tradition. The article analyzes different approaches to the concept of tolerance and reveals its key meanings. As for the very concept of tolerance, the author agrees with those researchers who argue for this term to be clarified, since tolerance cannot be reduced only to being patient. Patience must be supplemented by the recognition of the ‘other’ as an equal. The analysis substantiates the argument that the real recognition of the ‘other’ and a different system of values as well as otherness as such is possible only in the format of a dialogue. The article reveals the ontological essence of love and examines the Orthodox understanding of love, which is opposed to tolerance by its critics. For the analysis of the Orthodox viewpoint the author relies on the patristic heritage, primarily on the works of the pillar of Orthodoxy, the monk Maximus the Confessor as well as St. Theophan the Recluse and others. The process of comparing a tolerant position with a love-based strategy of behavior reveals some points of convergence, such as: respect for the other, recognition of his right to be himself, refusal of violence against the individual, refusal to look at a person as a means to solve their own problems, irreducibility of a person to his beliefs or behavior. At the same time, the research leads to the conclusion that there is a significant difference between tolerance and love, with this difference being related to a diverse view of human nature. From the Orthodox point of view, love as a life position is a view of a person as a being endowed with spirituality that determines one’s essence. This is a view of man as a potentially divine being, while tolerance views man as a representative of the human race whose life is limited to the earthly matters. The author substantiates the conclusion about the meaninglessness of contrasting tolerance and love, since these concepts reflect the stages of a person’s spiritual ascent, whose top is love.
Urban Lifestyle in Soviet Feature Films: Development of Research Methodology
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy and Law, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ekaterinburg, Kochukhova Elena
Published: April 2022

The article discusses the methodological problems one faces while working with the feature films in research on Soviet daily urban life. In the cultural anthropology of Soviet society, three methodological concerns should be highlighted. First, feature films are rarely thought of as providing reliable data and play marginal role in anthropological research. Second, the study of Soviet cultural politics in general and feature films in particular, requires bringing diverse disciplines in humanities in a synthesis. Third, the apparent lack of specific methodological guidelines for such analysis can be explained by the ongoing controversies in the theory of cinema and competing approaches to film studies. We found that although in the anthropology of Soviet society feature films are seen as an effective instrument of culture politics, there are but a few cases of studies focusing on feature films. At the same time the expressive potential of cinema and the viewer’s perceptions make films an important source for studying daily city life. On the one hand, the visual imagery of such films contains elements of urban life that are familiar to the viewer and thus provide a context that is understandable and intuitively legible. On the other hand, through the use of various dramatic and cinematographic techniques, certain norms of urban life are established in regard to daily practices, for instance, showcasing desirable images of urban dwellers. Therefore, analysis of feature films can shed light both on the reality of urban life and on its norms constructed in accordance with the goals of culture politics. In order to distinguish these two types of representations of urban living, it is necessary to take into account the conventions of the cinematic language evolved in different periods of Soviet history; the key points of culture policy; the actual social and economic opportunities enjoyed by Soviet urban dwellers. Therefore, findings in the field of film studies, culture studies and history of Soviet society provide the necessary context for the analysis of Soviet cinema as an anthropological source. Semiotics and deconstruction are among the main approaches to the study of elements of the cinematic language and mechanisms underlying the construction of ideological messages that these elements convey. In this study, we relied on protocol schemes developed by Helmut Korte as a methodological tool for film analysis.
Student Lean-Clubs: Source of Continuous Improvement оf the University Performance
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation, Spiridonova Ekaterina
Published: April 2022

Educational organizations require a fundamentally new organization of business processes. The transition to blended and distance learning (remote work) is the first reason. The second reason is the problems of Russian higher education that have accumulated earlier. Universities need to improve the efficiency of personnel, eliminate losses, maintain and improve the quality of the educational product. Lean production tools and techniques are suitable for these tasks. Lean production approaches have been used in large industrial plants around the world for many years. The expansion of lean practices to the service and public sector is a current trend. The ideology of lean production is also permeating higher education institutions. The Lean Universities Association contributes to this process. The National Project “Labor Productivity” is also a driver of development. Universities are training personnel for the implementation of this project. The students’ lean-club can be a successful form of interaction with students. Lean-club members will participate in the analysis of processes and generation of ideas for continuous improvement of the university. The activities of the lean-club will improve the work of the university and form a lean thinking among its members. The Kaizen quality philosophy can form the basis of the lean-club’s concept. It involves the gradual but constant implementation of improvements. The main tool will be quality control circles. Their participants will analyze business processes and make proposals for their improvement. Both Kaizen philosophy and lean production are customer focused. Students are customers and consumers of most of the key processes of the university. Building a system of continuous improvement of the university with the participation of students is considered appropriate. Student lean-club members need certain personal and professional competencies to implement projects. The most important competencies are soft skills and basic knowledge of lean production. They do not prevent you from joining the lean-club. Lean-club members can acquire these competencies as they work. Learning in practice, in the process of project activities from simple to complex, seems to be important and valuable.
Possibilities of analysis of nominative signs in tasks of information security
Authors:   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation, Khitsenko Vladimir E. , Fedotov Nikita A. ,   Novosibirsk State Technical University, Russian Federation
Published: April 2022

Using various examples, the article demonstrates and discusses the possibilities of testing hypotheses and applying information measures to identify and assess the strength of the connection of nominative features in classification problems in the analysis of information security. The main type of presentation of the initial data in this scale is a contingency table of nominative features or an "object-feature" table, from which frequencies of coincidence of feature categories and a contingency table can be obtained. Using this table, it is easy to test the hypothesis of independence or homogeneity of features. An alternative approach to this analysis is considered based on the Kullback statistics, which is the average discriminating information in favor of the hypothesis of the dependence of features. In particular cases, the hypothesis of the symmetry of square tables is of practical interest, which can also be tested on the basis of information measures and criteria. An example of the processing of dichotomous data of the "yes-no" type according to the Cochran test is shown. The paper discusses ways to measure the strength of the connection of features. Illustrative examples of calculating measures based on chi-square statistics and directed measures are considered. The possibilities of various information characteristics are discussed in the form of a relative decrease in the entropy of one feature with a known other, or in the form of a weighted average amount of information falling on different categories of a feature. These measures are useful for comparative analysis of nominative features in decision-making problems. Shannon's informativeness index, Kullback-Leibler divergence, and a measure of pairwise differentiation of protection efficiency classes according to the laws of distribution of the corresponding categories of a feature are used. The classical procedures for testing hypotheses and approaches based on information characteristics are consistently compared. The methods and examples considered in the work cover many urgent problems of information security associated with nominative features.

Published: April 2022

General relationships, algorithms, and differences for three numerical systems used in the field of computing technology are analyzed: positional, polyadic and modular. Their power-law modifications are obtained. A single basic algorithm for the formation of components of vectors representing numerical values in these systems, which are residues in relatively simple modules from the set of bases of a numerical system, is analyzed with an estimate of complexity. Vector representation of numerical values is a mathematical and algorithmic basis for generating arithmetic computer formats focused on high-performance parallel processing. Generalization of the representation of numerical values in three computer number systems in the form of vectors with an indication of the limits of change of representation components is intended for the analysis and parallelization of complex computational processes. Analysis from a unified position of computer number systems makes it possible to find computational problems for which the use of individual of them is effective. For tasks in which it is necessary to simultaneously process data in various formats associated with number systems, a correct description from a general point of view of the corresponding data formats is used. The analysis of number systems is intended for the development of mathematical structures as a base of software and algorithmic tools and the generation of machine data formats associated with these systems, designed to increase the efficiency of complex computational processes and assess their convergence for calculations in large computer ranges, focused on serial computers and scalable multiprocessor systems SIMD — architectures.

Concept of large cities intellectualization
Authors: Vavilonskaya Marina A.
Published: April 2022

The article analyzes the emergence of the idea of ​​smart cities, reveals their difference from smart cities. The intellectualization of a large city is understood as the integration of an innovative component into various fields of activity to improve the quality of life and manage urban infrastructure. The author proposes the concept of the development of the city of Samara as a territorial-spatial innovation system that expresses the diversity of areas of activity of citizens. The following are distinguished as agents of the development of an intelligent city: an administrative hub that provides state support for innovation; innovation hub - the head object of an intelligent city, from where its systems and facilities are managed; scientific and educational hubs where innovative ideas are generated; an industrial hub where these ideas are implemented and brought to life. This provides a closed cycle of intellectualization of a large city. A gradual and uniform innovative development of urban areas is expected due to interconnected specialized hubs, covering all the main areas of activity of citizens.
Reinhard Baumeister and the compact city principles
Authors: Filippov Vassily D.
Published: April 2022

Examples are given that show the relevance of the concept of a compact city at the international level and in the practice of domestic urban planning, the idea of ​​such a city in domestic publications. It is shown that this concept can be criticized due to the uncertainty and weak scientific groundlessness of its definitions. The author describes the initial motives that gave rise to the birth of German urban planning as a science, which led him to the forefront of the world at the beginning of the 20th century, the first experiments in urban planning, their mistakes and shortcomings, which led to the popularity of Mietskasernen (rented or profitable barracks), symbols of crowdedness and unsanitary conditions. The article presents the struggle of the educated part of the German society for decent living conditions in cities, which led both to the formulation of scientific principles of urban planning and to the adoption of laws for their implementation. For the first time in the domestic scientific literature, seven principles of urban expansion by Reinhard Baumeister are given and the content of the book Urban Expansion in terms of technology, building regulation and economics is summarized. The development of Baumeister's concepts in the works of Camillo Sitte and Josef Stbben, who completed the formation of a comprehensive theory of urban planning, is shown. An assessment of the importance of this theory and its practice for the new urbanism of the United States in the 21st century is given.

The article presents the findings of the research of socio-psychological attitudes of lawyers who previously worked as investigators. 60 respondents have been surveyed, with 20 of them being lawyers, another 20 being investigators and the remaining 20 were lawyers pre-viously working as investigators. These techniques were used: 1) “Methodology for diag-nostics of personality’s socio-psychological attitudes in the need-motivational sphere” by Potyomkina O.F. 2) “Hope anchors” by Sheyn E. It has been shown that lawyers who previ-ously worked as investigators are focused on their career, fulfillment of their ideals and values in their profession. They strive to use their talents and knowledge to the fullest, to be effective, they have an urge to be free and independent. Among other things, the study con-cludes that one of the subjective reasons for investigators to become lawyers are the distinctive socio-psychological attitudes of their personalities. The results of the study can be useful for psychological interpretations of choice and change of one’s occupation, to pre-vent occupational destructions in people of law professions. They can also be taken into ac-count by psychologists and psychological services when modeling lawyers and investiga-tors’ psychic profiles.

Published: April 2022

The article presents a detailed review of the legislative framework regulating the activities of general education workers in the field of prevention of different kinds of deviant behav-ior of children and adolescents, such as risk behavior, suicidal (self-harming) behavior, ad-dictive behavior, xenophobia and extremism. It is emphasized that organizing effective prophylaxis presupposes these: 1) early detection of factors and tendencies towards deviant forms of behavior in schoolchildren, developing their personality resources; 2) develop-ment of psychological and educational competence of educators and parents (or legal rep-resentatives); 3) creation of a psychologically safe environment conducive to development and upbringing; 4) interdisciplinary and inter-agency collaboration in organizing preven-tive work in an educational institution

Published: April 2022

The article considers the problem of tobacco smoking from the standpoint of system analy-sis of personality’s social relations. The proposed model for studying of the psychosocial characteristics of smokers includes: socializing factors, socialization problems, description of socialization and psychosocial characteristics of tobacco smokers. The modelled system represents a dynamically unfolding character both in its biographical perspective and in its immediate actuality. The subsystem component is the subjects’ socialization starting from the early childhood in their families in communication with their mothers. The degrees of addiction to smoking are viewed as necessary components for analysis of social relations of smokers in their young adulthood. The sample for the study consisted of 374 individuals. The research techniques were the following: 1) unfinished sentence method; 2) observation of the subjects’ behavior and the statements they make; 3) “My family” mini-essays; 4) “Psychosocial characteristics of youth” questionnaire survey. The above-mentioned tech-niques were used to study the causes of socialization problems in the respondents, as well as their attitudes to themselves and to their surroundings. Student’s t-test was used to reveal the distinctions between the control and experimental groups (p<0.01; p<0.05). Tobacco smoking should be viewed both as a violation of standard, rule-based behavior in one’s ear-ly adulthood and as one’s behavior striving to pave a constructive way into the future.

The deficit of theory of mind (ToM) is considered by a number of authors as one of the risk factors for involvement in criminal activity for individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) (for example because of difficulties in understanding other people’s intentions). The relationship between the deficit of ToM and moral judgments is discussed. The methods of test diagnostics (“Moral dilemmas”, A-ToM) and the method of content analysis of answers to open questions on moral dilemmas were used. It is shown that individuals with ASD are less likely to give utilitarian answers to impersonal dilemmas, but regardless of the intact of ToM, there is a tendency to reduce the degree of utilitarianism from impersonal to personal dilemmas. It is also shown that individuals with ASD do not rely on the intentions of actors when reasoning about moral dilemmas, but not only individuals with ASD rely on conse-quences in such reasoning.

Hatha yoga (HY) and aerobic and strengthening exercise (ASE) programs are recommended for optimal management of osteoarthritis. However, evidence on long-term adherence to these programs and factors that influence it is lacking in older adults. The purposes of this study were to (1) describe and compare long-term HY and ASE adherence in community-dwelling older women with knee osteoarthritis 12 months post–HY/ASE intervention programs; (2) identify benefits and facilitators of, and barriers to, long-term adherence; and (3) examine other self-care interventions used after completing HY or ASE programs. Adherence was defined as following the prescribed HY/ASE program or incorporating the practice into daily habits. Five semistructured focus group interviews and 12 months of exercise diaries were obtained from 28 women (mean age 71.2 years). Long-term adherence to the prescribed HY or ASE regimen was relatively high, albeit adapted to individual needs, priorities, and preferences. Over the 12-month follow-up period, participants spent on average 3.5 days/3.1 hours per week on exercise. Most participants remained physically active by modifying their prescribed programs and integrating elements of the interventions into their own exercise regimens. Facilitators to long-term adherence were perceived benefits, having an exercise routine/habit, and program structure/instruction. Poor health status, lack of time, and exercise preferences were identified as barriers. Participants used a variety of self-care interventions including oral supplements and alternative diets for managing their osteoarthritis. This work suggests that exercise programs for osteoarthritis that incorporate individual preferences, flexible hours, and easy-to-follow instructions are most likely to result in long-term adherence.
