The study of the representation of masculinity in the American media in a diachronic aspect is an important task in the context of constantly changing social and cultural norms. The phenomenon of the "crisis of masculinity" and the ongoing changes in the binary gender system, leading to the merging of two gender categories in Western society, emphasized the need to study the evolution of ideas about masculinity and its manifestations in various historical periods. The aim of the study is to identify ways to verbalize the image of masculinity in the American media in a diachronic aspect, covering the period 1900–2025. The object of the study is the category of masculinity, verbalized in English-language texts. The research material was journalistic texts published in American newspapers and magazines covering topics relevant to men. Special attention was paid to the selection of articles with explicitly stated authorship, while taking into account that the authors of the articles, as representatives of the male sex, are carriers of certain gender representations and, therefore, translate them in their texts. The method of corpus linguistics was used to comprehensively study the representations of masculinity in a vast array of journalistic texts. The method of component analysis was used to deconstruct the meanings of key lexical units representing masculinity and to define connotations. Finally, the method of interdisciplinary analysis, combining linguistic and cultural approaches, made it possible to analyze linguistic means taking into account historical, social and cultural factors. The scientific novelty of the study lies in a comprehensive diachronic analysis of the ways of verbalizing masculinity in American media discourse over a significant period of time, which has not been done before. For the first time, the work uses the method of corpus linguistics using the AntConc software for a comprehensive study of the representation of masculinity in a vast array of journalistic texts, which allows us to identify stable trends and dynamic changes in the discursive construction of gender identity. As a result, the study revealed a shift in the dominant discursive models of masculinity, reflecting the adaptation of gender roles to the changing socio-cultural landscape of the United States. The prevailing semantic groups used to represent the image of masculinity in the media at each of the chronological stages under consideration are established: the periods of the First World War, the Second World War, the post-war period, as well as the modern stage.

IPAS learning in elementary schools requires teaching materials that can present concepts concretely and attractively in accordance with students’ developmental characteristics. One topic that requires strong visual support is metamorphosis, as it involves abstract and chronological stages of change in living organisms. This study aims to examine the development of interactive comic-based IPAS worksheets (LKPD) on complete metamorphosis, incomplete metamorphosis, and non-metamorphosis materials through a literature study approach. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method using library research. Data were collected from various sources, including scientific journals, reference books, and relevant documents related to comics as learning media, LKPD, IPAS learning, and metamorphosis topics. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques to identify concepts, research findings, and principles for developing interactive comic-based LKPD. The results indicate that interactive comics have significant potential to enhance learning motivation, facilitate conceptual understanding, and present metamorphosis material in a structured and concrete manner. Therefore, the development of interactive comic-based IPAS worksheets can serve as an innovative and relevant alternative teaching material to support IPAS learning in third-grade elementary schools.

The authors propose a novel classification of chronological stages in the evolution of medical-geographical mapping, reflecting the progression of methods and approaches. Based on the conducted analysis, key trends and prospects are identified regarding the application of cartographic and geoinformation methods for monitoring and forecasting the spread of nosological entities.

Introduction: In Portugal, scientific production in nursing is embedded within a trajectory shaped by historical, educational, and political transformations, framed by a research context of significant growth. Aim: This study aims to map the scientific production in nursing by Portuguese affiliated co-authors. Methods: Scientometric approach with a quantitative and descriptive analysis of 2,617 scientific records (1968-2022) retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. Results: The study identified three evolutionary periods in Portuguese nursing science: Genesis (1968–2009), Early Development (2010–2018), and Consolidated Production (≥2019). Of the total records, 67.9% were articles, with English as the predominant language (90.64%), and an average of three authors per article (18.4%). Discussion: The development of nursing science in Portugal can be categorised into three chronological stages, influenced by changes in the organisation, teaching curricula, and the structuring of knowledge production processes. There has been a significant international projection of nursing research, particularly through co-authorship with Spain and Brazil. On the thematic level, a strong focus on research and scientific production has emerged in relation to professional practice, the nursing profession, and nursing education. Conclusions: The study demonstrates that nursing research in Portugal is in consolidation. Factors such as the development of academic curricula, university degrees and the integration into research centres and networks have contributed to this progress. Research patterns are also recognised, identifying collaborations and themes addressed, thereby supporting researchers and policymakers in promoting initiatives for the advancement and training in nursing.

Abstract Delivering quality healthcare rests on multiple interactions between several actors. From providers and patients to insurers and policymakers, each contributes to a network of services that promote, maintain, and restore health. Digital platforms are emerging as an innovative approach to facilitate this collaboration. These platforms function as collaborative networks where independent actors integrate resources around a central platform to co-create value. However, despite the promise of digital platforms in healthcare, a critical knowledge gap persists on how actor roles evolve within platform ecosystems. This paper investigates the evolutionary dynamics of digital platform ecosystems in healthcare. The study presents a case study approach to systematically collect and analyse data on the five chronological stages of the Discovery ecosystem development. Through an event history analysis, we focus on (i) actors and roles enacted during ecosystem emergence, (ii) the timing of activities during the evolutionary stages, and (iii) discovery and the evolution of its platform ecosystem. The paper’s findings contribute to understanding actor roles, interactions, role diversity, and ecosystem activities during digital platform development. For managers and practitioners, our study underlines a model for building partnerships with technology providers, financial institutions and other stakeholders to co-create value and improve patient outcomes.

ObjectivesTo develop a data harmonization framework for neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) studies and demonstrate its suitability for prognostic biomarker development.Materials and MethodsVariables were first categorized by chronological stages and then by medical topics. We created a dictionary to harmonize variable names and value coding. We began by merging comprehensive data from 2 landmark nationwide therapeutic hypothermia for HIE trials (2008-2016, 21 sites) in the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Neonatal Research Network (NRN). The 2 datasets differ in available variables, variable naming and coding, necessitating harmonization. To demonstrate the utility of this data harmonization framework, we computed the distributions of variables and ranked them by the strength of associations with 18- to 22-month outcomes. Associations were measured using Pearson’s correlation analysis. Outcomes were defined as (a) a 5-class variable: survivors with normal, mild, moderate, severe disability, or death and (b) the Bayley-III Scales.ResultsWe created a dictionary of 1181 variables on 532 patients across 5 chronologic categories and 60 medical subcategories. The distribution of major predictive and outcome variables, and the variables strongly associated with neurodevelopmental outcomes at 18-22 months were presented. The modified Sarnat scores at the Post-intervention and NICU-discharge stage, and the NRN pattern of MRI injury score showed strong associations with outcome variables.ConclusionWe designed a data harmonization framework specifically for HIE. Our initial effort in merging 2 iconic clinical trials shows strong predictor-outcome associations, allowing subsequent development of advanced prognostic biomarkers of neonatal HIE.

The article considers the formation of a model of international legal regulation of private military and security activities. The genesis of the modern development of mercenaries is studied. Four chronological stages are identified, indicating the key events that influenced the emergence of PMSCs and the formation of international legal regulation of their activities. Two approaches to the regulation of private military and security activities are considered: international legal and «soft law». In the framework of the study, we understand the «model» as a predicted option for the optimal legal regulation of future phenomena and processes, which determines the goals and means of forming a new legal state and allows us to make calculations of the real results associated with this. The legal model reflects the level of the current legal order and its development, taking into account the trends, stages and indicators of economic, social and political development, as well as interaction with the norms of the external environment. The model consists of a set of elements that are interconnected. Today, one of the main doctrinal conclusions related to the regulation of private military and security activities is the thesis that in modern conditions the state is losing its monopoly on the use of armed force, which is also called the «privatization of violence», the reason for which is the quantitative increase in the number of PMSCs as non-state actors involved in conflicts, including through the delegation of their functions in the security sphere by states to them. It has been determined that the formation of a model of international legal regulation of private military and security activities was not easy, but over the past years the path has been covered from the finished Draft Convention to a discussion document in eight points and back to the Draft Document, the outlines of which, with the support of a large group of states supporting the development of international legal regulation of private military and security activities, allow us to predict further prospects. The optimal way out of the situation with the uncertainty of international legal regulation of private military and security activities is to use a combined approach to the regulation of private military and security activities, which combines the advantages of existing models and positions. Private military and security activities concern a complex of multi-sectoral, debatable issues of international law, accordingly, the theoretical model of international legal regulation of private military and security activities proceeds from the priority of using contractual mechanisms, supplemented by recommendatory acts and model legislation. A necessary element of the theoretical model of international legal regulation of private military and security activities are the principles of determining the jurisdiction of states and the prohibition of granting jurisdictional immunity to PMSCs and their employees.

A study of India’s colonial past is relevant for several reasons. First, understanding the mechanisms of colonial rule allows gaining greater insight into the origins of modern social and political processes in the country. Secondly, the study of the experience of colonial enslavement contributes to the formation of a critical view of modern global relations, in which post-colonial models of dominance are often reproduced. Third, the analysis of the impact of colonialism on the formation of national identity helps better understand the problems of cultural heritage, self-awareness as well as the internal unity of multinational Indian society. The philosophical dimension of the study lies in understanding colonialism as a complex sociocultural and ethical phenomenon that shapes not only political structures but also mental attitudes, discourses of power, perceptions of the «Other» and concepts of identity and justice. In this context, colonialism is seen as a subject for philosophical reflection on issues of power, freedom, domination, cultural hegemony, and historical responsibility. Main tasks of the article are to examine the process of India’s colonization, identify the chronological stages of India’s colonization and establish the basic principles of colonial rule. Research methods such as historical and analytical (for chronology of events and analysis of sources), comparative (for comparison of forms of colonial rule) and general scientific (analysis, synthesis, classification, systematization) ones are chosen in view of the specifics of the topic and source base, which provides a logical sequence, validity of conclusions and interdisciplinary approach. The results of studying regulatory and historical sources indicate the following stages of India’s formation as a colony of the British Empire: emergence of European interest in India (late XV – XVI centuries) and rivalry of European states for trade privileges in the Indian subcontinent; dominance of the East India Company (1600-1858) – having gained a monopoly in trade, the British East India Company gradually established military administrative control over a significant part of India turning into de facto colonial authorities; establishment of the British Raj (1858-1947) – after suppression of the Rebellion of 1857, the governance of India passed directly to the British Crown, which meant creation of a centralized colonial administration and strict control of the mother country until independence. As a result, having established the chronology of colonization – from the emergence of European interest in India through the activities of the East India Company to the establishment of the British Raj, the following principles of colonial rule can be distinguished: centralization of power, legislative regulation, hierarchical administrative system, territorial differentiation, economic exploitation and control through legal coercion.

The article examines the architectural and planning features of the most historically and industrially significant cities in South America at record-breaking altitudes relative to sea level. The emergence, development and cultural identity of these cities in modern times are studied. The historical contexts of their origin and development are revealed. The plans of these cities and their adaptation to mountainous terrains and climate are overviewed. A comparative analysis is carried out in relation to the historical period under consideration. In addition to the urban development structure, the features of the colonial architectural style and the specifics of national identity are highlighted. In conclusion, a comparative analysis of the chronological stages of highland city development in South America is made.

Purpose. The article presents the results of an analysis of the radiocarbon date series (143 units) from archaeological sites of the forest-steppe and subtaiga Tobol-Irtysh region, characterizing the features of habitation, functioning, construction during different stages of the Late Iron Age and the Middle Ages (from the 1st to the 15th century AD).Results. The main method of summing up calibrated dates in the work was the Kernel Density Estimate (KDE) model. The nonparametric statistical analysis used in the work has demonstrated its effectiveness dealing with big data. As a result, six graphs of the distribution of calibrated dates were constructed, corresponding to the periods established in the scientific literature: the Late Sarmatian period, the Great Migration Period, the Early and Developed Middle Ages. The chronological stages and sequence of changes in archaeological objects described in the work are closely connected with modern ideas about the dynamics of the material culture of Western Siberia.Conclusion. When interpreting the obtained ranges, the context was used, reflecting the dynamic change of cultural types, monuments and structures over a period of 1500 years. Thus, the KDE method is an effective statistical tool when working with large data of radiocarbon dates, allowing verification of conclusions based on classical archaeological methods such as typology.

It is argued in this article that the signature of the Europe (Association) Agreement between Lithuania and the EU has formally articulated partial change in Lithuania's and its northern neighbours' geopolitical status. The author claims that the state of association with the EU and forthcoming membership in this economic organisation is one of the core strategic destinations of Lithuania's foreign policy, which, as the author emphasises, are vitalised by Lithuania's national interests. In the first part of this article, the author tries to trace and elucidate the main currents of this process of integration as well as factors affecting it and to evaluate the upbrought with respect to national interests of Lithuania. In this primary part of the work, a review on Lithuania-EU relations is propounded, three chronological stages of the development are researched, main complexities and issues are exposed. The author emphasises that there are two types of rapprochement provided by the EU member states in framing their ties with the former USSR satellites: one, devoted to Central European Countries, and the other - to former USSR. It is challenged that Lithuania stands somewhere in its mid-position and proposes four factors why Lithuania is expected to gradually gravitate towards the first-type relations, which stipulate the transformation of the status of the Baltic States. In the second part, the content and character of the Europe Agreement are analysed and evaluated on the basis of the same Lithuania's national interests. The third part is devoted to the major problem encountered during the process of negotiations on the Europe Agreement, namely the acquisition of land by foreigners. This question has particular significance since it was the very first time when Lithuania's politicians and population in general confronted reality associated with the EU. The author clarifies different aspects of the free trade agreement, asserting the many-facedness of European politics. Hence, in the last part of the article, the author tries to evaluate the perspectives of Lithuania-EU relations. Important external factors of NATO expansion and arising conflictuality of NATO-Russia policy towards the Baltic region are researched as having an indispensable and inevitable role in the shaping of the terms of gradual integration to the EU as well as the whole nature of rapprochement itself. The author sanctions an important role to the United States. This study also propounds the internal factor, i.e., the readiness of Lithuania itself for the entry into the European Union. Maniokas manages to illustrate his arguments with highly accurate facts from the events in the global political arena.

The article discusses the main directions of Chinese investment in the countries of Central Asia, as well as the prospects for cooperation between these countries. The role of China in the development of the modern economy is steadily increasing, and therefore the vector of investment cooperation with this country is one of the fundamental ones for the countries of Central Asia, which, in addition, are China’s neighbors. For China, which has a very limited supply of natural resources, these countries, rich in oil, gas, and other resources, are becoming of strategic importance. Purpose of the study: based on a study of sources and historiographic materials, to consider the investment policy of the People's Republic of China in the Central Asian region at the beginning of the 21st century. Research materials: the work is based on the study and analysis of statistical materials and historiographic literature. Research results and scientific novelty: it was revealed that China’s investment policy in 5 independent Central Asian republics – Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan, which arose in the post-Soviet space in 1991 after the collapse of the USSR, took place in three chronological stages - from the formation of independent Central Asian states in 1991 to today. These stages reflected the process of changing the role and place of the Central Asian region in China's foreign policy and corresponded to the 3 stages of economic policy pursued by Beijing in this region. The study shows the systematic, large-scale, and long-term nature of China's investment policy in Central Asia, pursuing both current commercial and strategic goals; the interests of Beijing's financial activity in this region have been identified; possible challenges that the Chinese “offensive” poses to the Central Asian republics are formulated. The results obtained are important for understanding the nature of Central Asian-Chinese relations at the beginning of the 21st century and make it possible to develop recommendations to prevent the transformation of the Central Asian states into a raw materials appendage of China and a springboard for the Celestial Empire and the implementation of more effective economic policies by the countries of the region.

The article focuses on the history of the Kuzminki estate (also known as Vlakhernskoye), and the challenges of virtual 3D reconstruction of its main house interiors, which were lost in a fire in 1916. This estate, founded in the early 18th century, was owned by the Stroganov family and later by the Golitsyn family, and is a prominent example of Russian manorial culture from the classical era. In the 19th century, the estate gained the reputation of the "Russian Versailles," but later fell into decline and was partially destroyed. The aim of the research is to systematically organize knowledge about the estate's architectural development, with a particular focus on the interiors of the main building, and to identify chronological stages for virtual reconstruction. The study examines various sources, such as inventories of property, lithographs, photos, drawings, and historical literature dedicated to the estate. The research methodology includes general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, and comparison), as well as special historical methods (historical-genetic and historical-comparative), and source-based methods (source-based analysis and textual analysis). As a result of this work, based on a collected source base, the main stages of the construction, reconstruction, and restoration of the buildings in the Kuzminki estate have been analyzed. For the first time, attention has been paid to the architectural features of the central building, the interior of which will be reconstructed in a virtual 3D environment. This is the main manor house, and the interior of the round ballroom, located on the central axis of the manor complex. Based on the analysis of available sources, two potential time periods for virtual reconstruction have been identified: the late 19th century (original imperial interiors) and the early 20th century (suburban use). These periods correspond to the situation where manor items were dispersed from noble estates during the second half of the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries. This necessitates a hybrid approach in creating a virtual 3D reconstruction of the central hall of the Kuzminki estate's main house. The results of this work are part of my dissertation research and have the potential to be used in restoration projects and digital initiatives aimed at preserving cultural heritage.

Between 1987 and 1989–1990, archaeological expedition of the Institute of Social Sciences of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, led by D. Yu. Pavliv, excavated a Late Bronze Age / Early Iron Age cemetery near Rovantsi village, not far from Lutsk. According to Pavliv, the cemetery is attributed to a local syncretic cultural group of the Ulvivets-Rovantsi type. The cultures of the Lusatian circle and Vysotsko culture influenced this group’s material culture and the funeral rite. The site dates back to the 10th — 8th centuries BC and belongs to the category of burial grounds with a bi-ritual funeral rite. Inhumations are the predominant form of burials. The necropolis is classified as a burial ground with a bi-ritual burial rite, but inhumations predominate. The graves are individual, with the skeletons placed prone on their backs, heads facing south. Skull measurements were taken using craniological programmes to determine the morphological characteristics of the population buried at Rovantsi cemetery and to place it among other contemporary groups of Central and Eastern Europe. Multivariate statistical methods were employed to assess the group’s origins and linkages. A total of 80 burials were unearthed on the site. The craniological series consists of 30 adult skulls (19 male and 11 female). The skulls of the males found at the burial site are characterised by a long, narrow, and high cranium, оn average, their shape is dolichocranial. The face is classified as medium-wide and low according to the upper facial index, placing it in the mesen category with a tendency towards eurien. It is orthognathic, bordering on mesognathic. The upper horizontal profile is sharp, but with a tendency towards moderation, while the zygomaxillary level profile is sharp as well. The orbits are classified as medium-wide and low according to the orbital index. The height of the nose is between low and medium, the width of the nose is medium, according to the nasal index the nose classified as mesorine with high nasal bridge. The angle of protrusion of the nose is average. The female skulls are characterised by a dolichocranial shape, with a very long and moderately wide skull, which is also very high. The face has a medium width and height, falling into the mesen category according to the upper facial index. It is orthognathic with sharp horizontal profiling at both the nasomalar and zygomaxillary levels. The orbits are of medium width and low linear dimension, with a mesoconchal shape in the orbital index. According to the nasal index, the height and width of the nose are average, indicating a mesorine nose. The nasal bones protrude at the small/medium values. The Rovantsi male and female samples exhibit distinct Caucasian features. Among the closely related series, the male skull sample shows the highest statistical similarity to the series from the territory of Poland, which represents the carriers of Lusatian and Trzciniec cultures. Regarding linear dimensions and facial proportions, the males from Rovantsi are the closest to the population of the Lusatian culture in Poland, differing from them mainly in the greater height of the skull and the wider face. The specificity of the Rovantsi series cannot be linked to the descendants of the Trzciniec-Komariv culture from Ukrainian regions or to the populations of the Bilohrudivska culture. The materials of the Trzciniec-Komariv cultural circle are only fragmentary present in the forest and forest-steppe areas of the Ukrainian territory. The representatives of this culture are characterised by a high and long dolichocranial skull combined with a narrow face. This feature separates them from the people buried in the Rovantsi cemetery. It is possible that the representatives of the Trzciniec-Komariv culture in Ukraine descended from the communities of the Corded Ware culture. The basis of the ‘corded ware morphology’ can be traced in the Trzciniec culture of Poland. However, due to a lack of the available data, it is impossible to assess the origin of the Rovantsi people with representatives of the Corded Ware culture. Among the Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age steppe groups in Ukraine, the Bilozerka culture shows the closest statistical similarity to the population of Rovantsi. However, the latter group is distinguished by a narrower face, as defined by the upper facial index. It is worth noting that the statistical proximity between the inhabitants of Rovantsi and some groups of the Bilozerka culture may be explained by the fact that the latter had anthropological links with Central European groups at an earlier chronological stages.

The relevance of the proposed study is determined by the need to trace the chronological stages of the formation of term names in order to define the concept of “word-forming category”, which will contribute to the terminological arrangement in Ukrainian derivatology. The aim of the study is to comprehensively study the content of the concept of the “word-forming category” in the modern Ukrainian language, in particular its evolution, structural organization, and interaction with other categorical units of the language system, with an emphasis on terminological ordering in Ukrainian derivation. To achieve the goal, a number of special linguistic methods were used, in particular, diachronic, definitional, and functional analysis, as the historical-linguistic, comparative-typological, and semantic-structural methods. It was determined that according to the principles of modern functional-categorical grammar, a word-form is located between syntax and morphology, forming its categories in the structure of a sentence or phrase and using morphological means for this purpose.

The subject of this article is the regional historiography of the post-Soviet period, which reveals the genesis of the GULAG system in the Kemerovo region (Kuzbass) in the 1920-1950s. The article provides an overview of the literature on the functioning of the Stalinist correctional labor camps in the region, the labor activity and conditions of detention of various categories of special personnel, the economic activities of penitentiary institutions, and the history of the regional penal system. The object of study is correctional labor institutions that operated in the Kemerovo Region during the Stalin era. The purpose of the work is to identify the main thematic areas in the study of this issue by Russian researchers, mainly Kuzbass historians, to give a brief description of their scientific research, to identify chronological periods in the study of the topic, to identify a range of issues and prospects for further development of the topic. The author used traditional methods for historical science as the main research methods: historical-genetic, comparative-historical, problematic-chronological, descriptive. Their application allowed for the most complete analysis of the studied processes and phenomena. The author's main contribution to the study is the analysis and synthesis of research material presented in the scientific and historical literature of the 1990-2020s and revealing the essence of Stalin's forced labor camps, their role in the industrial development of the Kemerovo region. The novelty of the research lies in the definition of problem-thematic areas and chronological stages of the study of this topic. In conclusion, the author emphasizes that over the past four decades, Kuzbass scientists have managed to do a lot of work on the search, collection and analysis of materials, mainly archival, reflecting the activities of penitentiary institutions in the territory of Kuzbass, but research in this area cannot be considered completed due to the presence of a number of issues not currently covered in the historical science.

The article is dedicated to the researches of the famous art historian of the XX century E.H. Gombrich (1909–2001) of such a phenomenon as primitivism. The subject of this work is the mentioned term in the works of this scholar. The purpose of the article is to present the evolution of Gombrich's views on the primitivism in the theory and history of European art throughout his scientific career: from the works of the 1950s to the latest monograph "Preference for the Primitive: episodes in the history of Western Taste and Art" written in 2002. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that there are no researches in Russian historiography that develop the problem of the "primitive" in E. Gombrich's theory of art, so the article is intended to correct this gap. To achieve this set goal, source studies, comparative-diachronic, hermeneutical methods are used. Based on this methodological basis, it became possible to analyze Gombrich's works and their context, compare texts from different periods of his scientific activity and interpret them. Using the methods described above, it was managed to trace the development of the researcher's views and establish certain chronological stages of the study of primitivism, as well as to show the connections of his works with the previous historiographical tradition. The most important conclusion of this article was to determine the significance of the scholar's monographs and articles in the study of the "primitive" in art: firstly, he virtually described the history of this cultural definition from its origins in European thought of ancient times to its flourish in the early-mid-20th century as a full-fledged artistic trend; secondly, Gombrich deduced an aesthetic and, simultaneously, a psychological explanation of the preference for "primitive" features in art throughout almost the entire European art history.

Aging is a natural process that everyone cannot avoid. An old person will experience physical and behavioral changes that occur when someone reaches a certain chronological stage of development. Elderly health is currently an important issue in the health sector. The aging process brings changes in various aspects, including social, psychological, and physical, which are influenced by degenerative processes. Therefore, the existence of elderly health posts is very important to improve the quality of life of the elderly. The goal is for the elderly to remain healthy, independent, and productive socially and economically. This research is a quantitative study, using an observational analytical research type with a cross-sectional approach. This research was conducted in the working area of Batu Bandung Public Health Center which was carried out in July 2024. The number of samples in this study was 32 old people age 65-70 years. From the results of the statistical test, a p-value of 0.006 was obtained, which means that there is a relationship between the activeness of the elderly in attending integrated health posts and the quality of life of the elderly with an OR value of 11.3. It is hoped that health center officers will provide counseling and socialization on the importance of the elderly integrated health post among the community so that elderly visits to the integrated health post are maximized in order to improve the quality of life of the elderly in living their old age.
