Sensibilidad al riesgo durante el forrajeo en los colibríes Hylocharis leucotis y Selasphorus platycercus
Authors: Gómez Rosas Leticia , Ortiz-Pulido Raúl , Lara Carlos
Published: October 2022

La sensibilidad al riesgo es la capacidad de una especie de responder conductualmente ante la variabilidad de las recompensas en un ambiente dado. Un organismo puede ser aversivo, propenso o indiferente al riesgo. A la fecha aún no se ha probado simultáneamente el tipo de sensibilidad al riesgo y el efecto de la experiencia previa en las especies de colibríes Hylocharis leucotis y Selasphorus platycercus. Debido a que ambas especies son similares en cuanto a su estatus de residencia, territorialidad y especies de plantas sobre las que forrajean, hipotetizamos la misma respuesta en ambos factores. En este estudio determinamos el tipo de sensibilidad al riesgo que presentan estas dos especies al exponerlas experimentalmente a una experiencia breve de 10 min visitando flores artificiales variando la calidad de la recompensa. Hylocharis leucotis no mostró preferencia por ningún tipo de recompensa (constante o variable) por lo que se comportó como indiferente al riesgo, mientras que S. platycercus mostró preferencia por el tipo de recompensa constante, por lo que se comportó como aversivo al riesgo. La breve experiencia previa no influyó significativamente en la sensibilidad al riesgo de dichas especies. Nuestros resultados indican que estas especies tienen diferente sensibilidad al riesgo y que una experiencia de 10 min no modificó su preferencia de recompensa.
La conservación de las aves más allá de las áreas naturales protegidas: el caso de la avifauna del Rancho Santa Elena, Hidalgo
Authors: Martínez-Morales Miguel Angel , Mendiola Islas Verónica , Zuria Iriana , Chávez Peón Hoffmann-Pinther Martha Cecilia , Campuzano Velasco Roberto Gabriel
Published: October 2022

La conservación de la biodiversidad dentro de las áreas naturales protegidas (ANP) no siempre es eficiente y suficiente, no obstante sus logros como uno de los instrumentos más consolidados de conservación. En este trabajo discutimos la pertinencia de considerar la información generada más allá de un ANP para elaborar e implementar su programa de manejo con una perspectiva de conservación regional; esto, a través de un ejercicio de comparación de la información generada sobre la avifauna dentro y fuera del ANP. En este marco, presentamos los avances en el conocimiento de la diversidad de aves en el bosque templado del Rancho Santa Elena (RSE), un conjunto predial ubicado en la Sierra de las Navajas, próximo al Parque Nacional El Chico (PNEC), en el estado de Hidalgo, México. Desde 2005 a la fecha hemos registrado 90 especies de aves a partir de muestreos con redes de niebla, del recorrido no sistemático de senderos y de observaciones incidentales. Estimamos que esta riqueza de especies representa aproximadamente el 70% de la riqueza esperada en el sitio. En contraste, en el PNEC se han registrado 74 especies desde 1974, de las cuales al menos ocho representan registros incorrectos o probablemente incorrectos. Asimismo, en el RSE hemos registrado una mayor diversidad de gremios trófico-conductuales y de especies endémicas a México que las registradas en el PNEC. Los inventarios y la generación de conocimiento más allá de las ANP pueden ser insumos importantes en la definición e implementación de sus estrategias de manejo, las cuales deben tener una perspectiva de conservación regional.
Extensión de la muda preformativa del buscabreña (Icteria virens) a partir de individuos capturados durante la migración de otoño en el sur del estado de Veracruz, México
Authors: Grosselet Manuel , Nochebuena Jaramillo Jonathan Ruben , Rodríguez Ramos Gerardo , Ruiz Michael Georgita
Published: October 2022

El estudio del proceso de muda de las aves neotropicales ha tenido gran relevancia a partir de la publicación de guías especializadas, pero el conocimiento en este campo aun es escaso. La mayoría de los estudios sobre muda se realizaron con tamaños de muestra pequeños de menos de 100 individuos. En este estudio, hemos elegido a Icteria virens, una especie muy estudiada y con una distribución muy amplia en Norteamérica; analizamos una muestra de 626 individuos en su primer año de vida. La investigación la llevamos a cabo en el sur del Golfo de México con poblaciones migratorias norteñas posiblemente provenientes del este del continente con base en diferencias morfométricas del tarso y una recaptura reciente. Los resultados arrojan diferencias evidentes con lo anteriormente reportado acerca del proceso de la muda preformativa. Sugerimos que dicho proceso varía según el origen geográfico de las aves y muestra que la descripción de la muda debe basarse en una muestra amplia de individuos. Este trabajo propone enfocar estudios sobre el patrón de muda por corredores migratorios, con el fin de estimar el desarrollo de cada sub-población y estimar el proceso de muda entre poblaciones del oeste y del este de Norteamérica.

Avoceta americana (Recurvirostra americana): primeros registros reproductivos en Chihuahua, México
Authors: Venegas Holguín Diana , Díaz Tengler Militza Érica , Cruz Nieto Javier
Published: October 2022

La avoceta americana (Recurvirostra americana) es un ave playera que se encuentra asociada a los cuerpos de agua poco profundos; de figura estilizada y apariencia inconfundible, pertenece a la familia Recurvirostridae. El área de reproducción de esta especie, reconocida hasta ahora, no abarca el estado de Chihuahua, México, donde está catalogada como un ave migratoria. Debido a que no hay ningún estudio en el que se reporte la presencia de nidos de avocetas en este estado de la república mexicana, el descubrimiento de nidos en los años 2006, 2007, 2011, 2012 y 2013 cerca de los poblados de Janos, Ascensión, Palomas, Cuauhtémoc, Gómez Farías y la ciudad de Chihuahua representa los primeros registros de anidación documentados de esta especie en el estado. En 2013 hicimos un estudio más detallado en 12 nidos próximos a la ciudad de Chihuahua, y notamos que en el área hay una gran cantidad de peligros para los huevos y pollos de avoceta americana y para las aves asociadas como el candelero americano (Himantopus mexicanus) y el chorlo tildío (Charadrius vociferus), ya que son aves que anidan a nivel del suelo. La presencia de especies depredadoras como perros, gatos y animales silvestres así como de humanos, vacas y caballos que pueden pisar los huevos y pollos podría incidir en la supervivencia de estas especies.
Primer registro de la cotorra argentina (Myiopsitta monachus) en Guerrero, México
Authors: Almazán-Núñez R. Carlos , Sierra-Morales Pablo , Méndez-Bahena Alfredo
Published: October 2022

Reportamos por primera vez la presencia de la cotorra argentina (Myiopsitta monachus) en la ciudad de Chilpancingo, en el estado de Guerrero, México. Entre el 6 y 7 de mayo de 2014 observamos siete individuos de la cotorra argentina pechando y forrajeando en un árbol de tulipán africano (Spathodea campanulata). Dado que no encontramos registros de animación, desconocemos el estatus reproductor de la población, aunque futuras investigaciones deberán estar encaminadas a esclarecer la situación reproductora de esta población y las posibles afectaciones que ésta pudiera causar.
THE STRUCTURE OF THE MAIN CHARACTER’S IMAGE IN N.V. GOGOL’S NOVEL “THE OVERCOAT”
Authors:   Rashidov Samarkand State University, Abdullaeva Al’bina S.
Published: October 2022

The article considers some artistic features of the image of the main character of the story “The Overcoat”. Gogol’s novel in a peculiar way transforms the event series of the source text – “The Life of Acacius of Sinai”, fragmenting the biography of the character, reducing it to essential episodes of his life. Special attention is paid in the article to the onomapoetics of the text, clarifying its additional semantic meanings. The space-time relations in the text are metaphorized, Bashmachkin’s personal space is initially closed, the character is closed from him. The turning point in the narrative is the acquisition of a greatcoat, which turns out to be a guide to the world of passions and feelings for the personage. He discovers the outside world, the embodiment of which is St. Petersburg, and as the character learns about the surrounding space, he is approaching his death. The article presents the main moments of the main character’s transformation – from external to deeply personal, which could not help him establish himself in the world.
THE POETICS OF SENTIMENTALISM IN THE WORK OF M.M. ZOSHCHENKO
Authors:   Saint-Petersburg State University, Tingting Bao
Published: October 2022

. “Sentimental Tales” is a book about the struggle of a “little man” for existence during the NEP period. The prose demonstrates a “mosaic of quotations” in which classical tradition is clearly discernible, specifically, the artistic intertextuality of sentimentalism is particularly strong. The author uses the method of intertextual analysis to study how Zoshchenko transforms the tradition of sentimental literature and what functions the intertexts perform. Following the study he concludes that “Sentimental tales” as a whole is a variation on the theme of sentimentalism. Elements of idyll became a means of philosophical comprehension of human existence at the turn of time for the writer. Zoshchenko transforms the motive and plot reminiscences from sentimentalism, and puts them in his time in order to demonstrate a hard distinction between the old and new eras. Through the titles of the stories there runs author’s sentimentalism as well as his empathy and compassion for the characters of his works. Besides the theme of the destruction of idyll have a kind of connotation of anti-utopia manifested in two directions – the correlation between “Personality and Society” and “Technology and Art”.

The influence of innovations co-financed from the European Union funds on the development of health care institutions – a regional approach
Authors:   The University of Jan Kochanowski in Kielce, Kaczmarska-Krawczak Jadwiga
Published: October 2022

Purpose: The article deals with the subject of innovation in theoretical and practical terms. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of innovations co-financed from EU funds on the development of the health care sector in the Łódź region. Design/methodology/approach: The article is based on literature studies, the results of literary studies from empirical research and own research of the author. The aim was achieved by the use of CATI technique (CATI – Computer Assisted Telephone Interview). Findings: Innovations in health care institutions are a necessary condition for overcoming the challenges of the contemporary environment. They contribute to the improvement of the quality of provided services, expansion of the examined entities (in terms of medical equipment and infrastructure) and increasing the level of accessibility to medical services. Research limitations/implications: The primary limitation of the conducted research is the lack of possibility to generalize the results to the entire group of entities operating in Poland. The results may serve as an assessment of the current status regarding the functioning of health care institutions in the Łódź region. Practical implications: The health level of a society is closely related to the level of economic development. A healthy, capable and long-living society is able to produce more goods and services, which has a direct impact on development, while a high level of development creates the possibility of allocating more resources to the health sector. Originality/value: This article presents original empirical findings on the sources of funding, types and areas, and effects of innovation ventures in hospitals. The efforts to improve the understanding and implementation of innovation in hospitals are significantly hindered by the lack of solid scientific evidence. Therefore, a framework for further research has been created to confirm the urgent need for directions in the development of innovation in the health sector.

Purpose: The study explores how the disruption caused by Covid-19 has influenced the innovativeness of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Poland. It aims to show the examples of innovative ideas introduced by SMEs in times of pandemic to overcome the obstacles that appeared due to fluctuations in the demand and supply because of Covid-19. Design/methodology/approach: The study draws on a qualitative research design and uses case studies. We chose three small and two medium-sized Polish firms specializing in different business areas for analysis. Findings: The analysed organizations due to Covid-19 introduced innovations mainly focused on IT solutions. All of the firms have begun to offer remote work. Moreover, they implemented a new work organization system and a new customer service system. In all cases, the new solutions will be maintained and developed after the end of the pandemic. Research limitations/implications: The study uses five case studies. Practical implications: The outcomes of the study can motivate entrepreneurs to implement innovations as the case studies may inspire them. Moreover, the successes of presented SMEs may convince entrepreneurs that introducing innovations is not difficult and that the effects of innovative changes are measurable and visible in a short time. Thus, they may be encouraged to take action to overcome obstacles in their surroundings. Originality/value: The study develops the knowledge concerning the innovation process in companies in an uncertain, unstable and unpredictable environment.

Student internships as a tool for assessment of the employer brand
Authors:   , The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Wawer Monika
Published: October 2022

Purpose: At present, one of the most important challenges faced by employers is to find, employ and retain talents. Attracting the best interns can be the way of creating the company’s brand as an attractive employer for Generation Z. The management of an internship programme with good preparation can strengthen the employer’s brand from the close supervision of engaged mentors and managers. The aim of the research is to identify the impact of the assessment of the internships carried out by students on their perception of the employer brand. Design/methodology/approach: The survey has been conducted in Poland in the period 2019- 2021 among 789 full-time students in different fields of study. The paper presents a quantitative analysis of the obtained data in the cross-section of the respondent's study level (bachelor’s and master’s). The theoretical part of the article explained the essence of employer branding in a contemporary organisation and the meaning of internships as an employer branding tool for Generation Z. Findings: The answers of respondents reveal that the overall assessment of the internship affects their willingness to work at the given company and to recommend the company to others. The experiences gained during the internship, mentors involvement, and the way the internships are prepared and carried out by the company, have an impact on the assessment of the employer brand and influence the decision of Generation Z to participate in recruitment processes in this company as well as the selection of this employer as the future workplace. Research limitations/implications: The size of the surveyed group does not allow for the formulation of general conclusions. However, the obtained results may be the basis for further in-depth studies on the problem. Similar research could be conducted to establish the opinion of employers and university representatives with a broader consideration of other variables. Practical implications: The conclusions of the study will deliver the enterprises valuable information about the importance of internships for the acquisition and retention of future employees from Generation Z, and building the employer brand in the labour market. Originality/value: The obtained results allowed to fill the research gap concerning the perception of the representatives of Generation Z regarding the student internships in the context of the assessment of employer brand.
Management of the association formation process
Authors:   Silesian University of Technology, Witkowski Paweł
Published: October 2022

Purpose: The aim of the paper is to identify the process of creating an association and to define a model of the process of creating an association that is registered in the National Court Register, as well as to show the role played by the entity managing this process. On this basis the author attempts to answer the research questions: What is the correct model of the association formation process and whether, and if so, to what extent the activities undertaken by the entity managing the association formation process affect the possibility of its creation and the subsequent functioning of the association? Design/methodology/approach: In order to search for evidence to answer the research questions, the method of legal analysis (normative methodology) anchored in the theory of organisation and management was used, as appropriate for analysing a phenomenon highly determined by legal regulations. The combination of the research method of legal analysis and concepts from the field of organisation and management allows to formulate conclusions on the identification and course of the phenomenon under study, causes and effects of actions taken by the entity managing the process of association formation. The author has used various techniques and tools to collect and analyse data, i.e. participatory observation, legal analysis, analysis of documentation, analysis of judicial decisions and Internet sources. Findings: The author has identified and defined a model for managing the association formation process and has established the important role of the entity managing this process. Practical implications: The association formation process management model can be used in practice by those who undertake the management of such processes. Social implications: One of the basic organisational forms, in which a person can actively influence social life, be creative and realise both his own needs and the needs of others, is the association. The institution of association - as an organisation - seems to be underused by active members of social life. An undeniable problem is the difficulty to direct the process of association creation, there is no popularization of a model of the process of association creation. Therefore, it is necessary to define such a model, perhaps to define a postulate for legislative changes and, above all, to educate and promote it. Originality/value: The presented analysis is important, because it establishes and shows a model of the association formation process, which can be applied by the entity managing the association formation process, and shows its significance for the later functioning of such an organisation as an association registered in the National Court Register. This research problem, so far, has not been elaborated from the point of view of management science.
The need of supervision and control over transport of slaughter animals as the part of growing awareness of animal rights and sustainable development
Authors:   Częstochowa University of Technology, Budzik Anna
Published: October 2022

Purpose: The article presents issues related to the transport of slaughter animals in terms of sustainable development and during the time of increased interest in animal rights. The aim of the article is to analyze the functioning of transport companies involved in the transport of animals. The first part of the article presents issues related to animal welfare, which is part of the concept of sustainable development. Particular attention was paid to the issue of welfare during the transport of farm animals to the slaughterhouse. Methodology: The article presents the results of the Supreme Audit Office on the transport of animals, which were carried out in 1998, 2003, 2005 and 2017, and the results of inspections belonging to the tasks of the Veterinary Inspection in the Silesian Voivodeship in 2019 and 2020.Then the author presents her research results. The survey was conducted among the owners of enterprises handling the transport of slaughter animals in the Silesian Voivodeship and among drivers and guards of these enterprises. 94 business owners and 92 drivers transporting animals participated in the study. Chi-square tests were used to show the relationship between the variables Findings: On the basis of the conducted research, it was found that the control system is conducive to the enforcement of the law in the field of transport of animals for slaughter in enterprises. Originality/value: In the context of sustainable development, the subject of animal welfare is being increasingly regarded as essential. Ensuring animal welfare is now the key issue for public opinion, livestock farmers, animal rights organizations, entrepreneurs, transport companies and slaughterhouses. The awareness of people related to publicizing animal abuse is increasing, and we as consumers also have a right to know how animals were treated on farms and during transport.
Implementing and Evaluating a Pilot Therapeutic Music Program in the Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Schlesinger Joseph , Pearson Melissa , O’Briant Deborah , Bose Javin , Yang Sean , Li Judy , Rice Todd , Kleinpell Ruth
Published: October 2022

Background: Therapeutic music has been shown to provide significant physical and mental health benefits to patients, yet limited information is available on the impact of live classical music in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting.

Objective: The purpose of this initiative was to implement and evaluate a therapeutic music program in the ICU.

Methods: A descriptive survey methodology was used to obtain information from volunteer musicians and clinical nurses. Researchers used a 12-item anonymous web-based survey to collect information on the therapeutic music program's acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility. The survey also included questions addressing potential barriers to and facilitators of implementing therapeutic music in the ICU.

 Results: A total of 15 nursing staff and 6 volunteer musicians completed the online survey. Of the 15 nurse respondents (9 clinical nursing staff, 3 advanced practice, 3 other), a majority (n=10, 66.7%) identified that therapeutic music was acceptable in the ICU. Similarly, a majority (n=11, 73.3%) indicated that therapeutic music was appropriate and feasible. Of the volunteer musicians, all (n=6, 100%) identified several factors that helped to facilitate the program including having an upright piano with large casters (wheels) for enhanced mobility to play music. Most (n=5, 83.3%) identified having a patient and family-centered care environment and supportive ICU staff, and four (66.7%) identified private ICU rooms and trained musicians as useful. Several barriers were also identified, including severity of patient illness and infection prevention concerns (n=5, 83.3%), space limitations in the ICU and patient privacy concerns (n=2, 33.35%), and patients being asleep (n=1, 16.75%).

Conclusions: The results of this initiative indicated that therapeutic music in the ICU was rated as acceptable, appropriate, and feasible. Volunteer musicians reported the ability to provide live music in the ICU to be a beneficial and enjoyable experience. The program has been transitioned to a virtual format using a large iPad on wheels due to COVID-19-related visitation restrictions.

Published: October 2022

Background: Research suggests that many of the millions of deaths and long-term disabilities resulting from acute cardiovascular events and other emergency conditions are preventable if effective emergency care services were readily available. Effective emergency care requires trained and competent staff, including registered nurses. Most educational pathways do not adequately prepare nurses to deliver sensitive health care services for those with acute illness and injury. This includes Uganda, where few capacity-building initiatives have targeted emergency nursing care delivery, leading to knowledge and practice gaps.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess emergency nursing knowledge and clinical practice at a tertiary public cardiac health facility in Uganda.

Method: This was a single-center, descriptive cross-sectional survey of a convenience sample of nurses working in the emergency department.

Results: A total of 49 emergency care nurses completed the survey (response rate of 81.6%). Among the participants, 75.5% were females, 65.3% had a bachelor's degree, 28.6% had Basic Life Support training, and 12.2% were certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support. Additionally, 75% of the respondents had low proficiency in assessing critically ill patients, 100% could not perform safety checks, 50% were unable to maintain patent airways or complete patient handover, and only 50% could connect a patient to a defibrillator.

Conclusion: We report that the most significant gap in nurse-provided emergency care is the application of practical skills. Capacity-building initiatives are required to improve the knowledge and practice of nurses in emergency care delivery.
The role of participation and involvement in organisational learning
Authors: Benkó Aliz
Published: October 2022

Objectives: In my research, I investigate how and in what ways participation and involvement as a precondition for learning is present in Hungarian SMEs. Effective individual learning is a necessary precondition for effective cooperation both at the individual level and, by extension, at the organisational level. It is through collaborations that the organisational culture that leads to organisational learning and a learning organisation, which is the cornerstone of sustainable development, is created. Methodology: In my pilot research, I used a qualitative research method. I conducted five semi-structured management interviews in a medium-sized logistics company, which I then processed applying thematic coding. In this presentation, I explore how decision making is carried out at the company, what decisions are made in the company, how they are made and how employees are involved in the decision-making process. Findings: The intention of the CEO is that participation and involvement are consciously present at the company, but I found few real examples of this in the interviews. Important decisions are made by the CEO alone, such as the introduction of a performance appraisal system, but the HR department and members of the management are involved in working out the details. This practice is not conducive to employee participation and involvement in the decision-making process in the company, and thus does not promote a learning organisation culture. Research/practical implications: My research confirmed that translating knowledge into practice cannot happen without the active participation of the individual. The involvement of the individual and the realisation of effective learning is the starting point for the development of organisational learning and a learning organisation. Originality/value: Due to the qualitative exploratory nature and the small number of cases used in the pilot research, the results obtained are not statistically generalizable. My aim was to test my idea in practice on a theoretical level.

The paper focuses on how the digital revolution affects the EU27 countries. We have examined the Digital Economy and Society Index and its relationship with economic and sustainable development indicators to capture the impact of digital development in the past six years. Some researchers are sceptical, about whether digitalization has positive, or negative effects on the economy and sustainability. We wanted to contribute to this debate by examining related indicators. Our findings show that digitalization has a strong correlation with the main economic indicators, however, does not contribute to a sustainable economic and social environment in a 6 years’ timeframe.

Decreasing water availability and increasing water demand have occurred in Soppeng regency, this is due to the potential of surface water as raw water for clean water is increasingly limited. In ensuring the sustainability of the clean water supply program in Soppeng regency, it is necessary to study the water supply using a system approach, so that the water supply in Soppeng regency can be sustainable. This research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the constraints faced, program needs, and institutions that play a role in the supply of clean water in Soppeng regency with the Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) method. The results show that for the implementation of the clean water supply program, there are four key elements that need attention: the lack of institutional capacity, weak institutional governance, availability of raw water, and the role of Central Government (relevant ministries).

Spinach is a plant usually cultivated for its leaves to be consumed as green vegetables. Spinach contains vitamins, protein, fat, carbohydrates, and minerals. Research on the effect of Vermicompost and NPK fertilizer on the growth of spinach has been carried out from July to September 2021 in Lombok, Indonesia. The objectives of the study are to determine:  (1) the effect of Vermicompost on the growth of spinach, (2) the effect of NPK fertilizer on the growth of spinach, (3) the interaction effect of Vermicompost and NPK fertilizer on the growth of spinach. This research was conducted experimentally using a factorial, completely randomized design with two factors and three replications. The first factor was the dose of NPK fertilizer which consisted of 4 treatment levels, namely 0 g, 0.5 g, 1 g, and 1.5 g for each plant. The second factor is the dose of Vermicompost, which consists of 5 levels, namely 0 kg, 0.6 kg, 1.2 kg, 1.8 kg, and 2.4 kg for 1 m2 of agricultural land. The vermicompost treatment was carried out ten days before planting. The NPK fertilizer treatment was carried out ten and 20 days after planting. Spinach growth parameters were stem diameter, plant height, total leaf, leaf length, and leaf width. The results of the study were: (1) the treatment of NPK fertilizer had a significant effect on the number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, stem height, and stem diameter of spinach, (2) the application of Vermicompost had a significant effect on the number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, and stem height but did not significantly affect the diameter of the stems, (3) the optimum dose of NPK fertilizer was 1 gram per plant, (4) treatment 1.8 kg vermicompost resulted in better growth of spinach compared to other.

The number of new breast cancer cases reached 68 thousand (16.6%) of the total 396 thousand new cancer cases in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the number of deaths reached more than 22.000 cases. So with several causal factors and research data on breast cancer, it is only natural that Indonesian women know Breast Self-Examination (BSE) from an early age. BSE is the most recommended early detection of breast cancer for every woman and can be done by yourself. This study aimed to determine the effect of health education with the demonstration method on the BSE motivation of women of childbearing age in preventing breast cancer at the Delima Putih Posyandu, Samapuin Village. The design in this study is a pre-experimental research design. The type used is the One Group Pretest Posttest. The research was conducted at the Delima Putih Posyandu, Samapuin Village, Sumbawa District. The sample in this study was 20 women of childbearing age who were recorded at the Delima Putih Posyandu, Samapuin Village. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Matched Paired Test. The results showed an effect of health education with the demonstration method on the BSE motivation of women of childbearing age with the Asymp value. Sig 0.000. The result indicates that many women still do not know about BSE, so it is essential to provide education through counseling by midwives or other health workers. Therefore, it is hoped that the role of midwives or other health workers as educators will increase BSE services in the community
