Metabolic profiles of children aged 2-5 years born after frozen and fresh embryo transfer: A Chinese cohort study.

Frozen embryo transfer (FET) has become a widely employed assisted reproductive technology technique. There have historically been concerns regarding the long-term metabolic safety of FET technology in offspring due to pregnancy-induced hypertension and large for gestational age, both of which are well-recognized factors for metabolic dysfunction of children. Therefore, we aimed to compare the metabolic profiles of children born after frozen versus fresh embryo transfer at 2 to 5 years of age. This was a prospective cohort study. Using data from the "Assisted Reproductive Technology borned KIDs (ARTKID)," a birth cohort of offspring born from assisted reproductive technology at the Institute of Women, Children and Reproductive Health, Shandong University, China. We included 4,246 singletons born after FET (n = 2,181) and fresh embryo transfer (n = 2,065) enrolled between 2008 and 2019 and assessed the glucose and lipid variables until the age of 2 to 5 years. During a mean follow-up of 3.6 years, no significant differences were observed in fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance Index, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels between offspring conceived by fresh and frozen embryo transfer in the crude model and adjusted model (adjusted for parental age, parental body mass index, parental education level, paternal smoking, parity, offspring age and sex). These results remained consistent across subgroup analyses considering offspring age, the stage of embryo transfer, and the mode of fertilization. Results from sensitivity analysis on children matched for age within the cohort remains the same. The main limitation of our study is the young age of the offspring. In this study, the impact of FET on glucose and lipid profiles during early childhood was comparable to fresh embryo transfer. Long-term studies are needed to evaluate the metabolic health of offspring born after FET.

Women’s Role in Local Development: Enhancing Gender Equality in Wan Yai District, Mukdahan Province, Thailand

Purpose: This research was conducted using a qualitative method. The objectives were: 1) to study women’s roles in local development; 2) to analyze the supporting and hindrance factors that affect the roles of women in the local area; and 3) to suggest pathways for the roles of women in local development to reduce gender inequality in Thai society. Method: The collective data came from in-depth interviews with provincial and district developers. Women's empowerment working groups conducted focus groups in four districts: Wan-Yai, Cha-Note, Bang-Sai Noi, and Pong-Kam Dong-Moo. Furthermore, the researcher focused on the women villagers to analyze the factors that influence women's empowerment in the local area and make recommendations to the local administration's women's development strategic plan. Results: Women's role in the Wan Yai district is significant. Women also participate in many aspects of the local community. Regarding politics, some women are interested in applying for local elections, and others work as public health volunteers. In economic terms, many women are essential to generating income and development in the area. Most women in the district are members of the Women's Empowerment Fund, a low-interest source promoting job creation and building careers. Research Implication: Regarding culture, women's groups participated in local traditions, such as the Twelve Annual Festivals of Isan People and the Christmas Celebration. Strong women's organizations and women's participation at all levels supported women's empowerment. However, the obstructing factors to women's development were competition from locals with similar careers and the emigration of the working-age population and younger generations. Originality/Value: In summary, the recommendations for the relevant organizations are the network and women's empowerment organizations, NGOs, and educational institutions to integrate abstractly, investigate, and evaluate continually towards the provincial strategic plan.

Historical Study of Marriage Law Between the Norms and the Problematics

Purpose: This study aims to examine the history of marriage law between norms and problems in Indonesia. Methods: The method used in this research is qualitative legal history analysis with a juridical-normative approach. Data was obtained by searching literature regarding marriage in the context of legal history in Indonesia, including laws, regulations, historical documents, and other related literature. Result and Discussion: Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage is unification for the entire population of Indonesia, which is plural but also plural with a release clause by their respective laws and religions. Based on the history of the formation of Law No. 1 of 1974 from the Draft Law until its ratification, experienced pros and cons based on religious perspectives and women's rights, both in legislative, executive, and organizational institutions Implications of the Research: Based on the formation process, it is influenced and colored by the interests of specific interest groups, with religious elements very dominant in it. In practice, implementing Law No. 1 of 1974 raises legal problems in certain legal events, especially various legal events that comply with Law No. 1 of 1974, which are patriarchal and detrimental to women as wives. Originality/Value: This research highlights the unique contribution and added value of research to our understanding of the history of marriage law in Indonesia. This research occasionally explores the evolution of norms and problems in marriage law. It identifies essential patterns and practical implications through an in-depth approach to legal historical analysis.

Co-creating accompanying systems to improve adolescent girls' and women's access to services

Empowered Aid is a participatory action research project led by the Global Women's Institute (GWI) in partnership with humanitarian aid actors. It aims to prevent sexual abuse and exploitation (SEA) from occurring, through models that actively reduce power disparities and give girls and women sustained voices in how aid is delivered. Empowered Aid began working in Jordan in September 2022, in partnership with World Vision, to contextualize and scale up interventions arising from completed research in Uganda, Lebanon and Bangladesh. The Empowered Aid team worked with World Vision Jordan to consult refugee girls and women on the SEA-related risks they faced in Al Azraq camp when accessing aid services and centers, such as the “Road to Resilience” Peace Center – a space where educational and life-skills activities are organized to promote resilience for children and youth. This practice insight suggests a low-to no-cost participatory solution towards mitigating SEA and other GBV risks in accessing services, for example when girls and women are prevented from accessing non-governmental organizations' (NGO) services safely due to verbal and physical harassment by other camp residents. The underlying cause of this harassment are the power imbalances that limit the movement of girls and women, which must also be addressed through longer-term violence prevention and response programming that incorporates their contextual knowledge. Alongside such efforts, creating accompanying systems for girls and women can serve to quickly enhance their safety and access to services, while helping them feel more empowered and secure in navigating gender-unequal environments.

Scrapbooks as Sites of Technology: The Women's Institute and the Material Culture of 1960s Rural England.

Using scrapbooks created by members of the Women's Institute in England in 1965, this article offers a rare insight into women's lived experience and interaction with new technologies and services, in domestic and communal spaces, which show how rural women diligently recorded the new behaviors, emotions, and challenges surrounding rural life. Scrapbookers show multiple and sometimes contradictory attitudes, representing themselves as modern housewives proficient with new consumer durables, while also critiquing the inequalities heralded by new goods and services. Rural women were not simply bystanders to technological change but represented themselves as both consumers and producers of new forms of knowledge, through their use of material culture. Scrapbookers used their creations to archive the emotional labor they performed in their homes and communities, illuminating an important but often overlooked component of consumption.

Literary activity of Hryhorii Kvitka and women’s education

The article uses and develops the ideas of the famous literary historian M. Zerov, which relate to Ukrainian sentimentalism. His experience in the scientific interpretation of G. Kvitka's work made it possible to determine ways of optimally engaging the possibilities of literary life to reveal the influence of such social factors as charity, women's education and upbringing, on the writer's creative practice. The relevance of the outlined approach is due to the need to overcome simplification in the understanding of our classical cultural heritage, the need to clarify knowledge about Ukrainian sentimentalism by expanding the scope of researched facts and their objective study. On the basis of the analysis of biographical and cultural-aesthetic material, the motives that guided the Ukrainian sentimentalist were identified and described, as well as his worldview and aesthetic priorities were clarified. Biographical facts were analyzed separately, testifying to G. Kvitka's special interest in the organization of the women's institute in Kharkiv and his awareness of the need for literary texts that would meet the aesthetic demands of the institute's female students. Some attention is paid to clarifying the dependence of the writer on the notions of sentimentalism concerning the criteria of "truthfulness" of an artistic work. It is pointed out the groundlessness of involving Kvitka's prose in realism, as some Soviet researchers and their followers once tried to do. The hypothesis is proposed, according to which H. Kvitka's sentimental prose appeared precisely as an organic continuation and development of his charitable and educational work, the kinship of these types of activities is separately substantiated, and their common ideological basis is emphasized. The role of H. Kvitka in the formation of the Ukrainian female readership was noted, features of his works that contributed to this are highlighted. As a perspective for further studies, it is proposed to find out exactly how the literary and spiritual heritage of sentimentalism is presented in the modern cultural life of Ukrainians.

Obstacles to Federal Policy Adoption: The Case of Special Domestic Violence Criminal Jurisdictions in Native American Tribal Nations

A core tenet of representation is that individuals should expect government to actively protect their human security. In the issue area of domestic violence in the United States, government largely fails to do this for women, who comprise three-quarters of all victims of domestic violence. Nowhere is this more apparent than for Native American women living on tribal lands. In terms of lifetime physical violence, nearly 52% of Native American women will be physically abused compared to 30.5% of white women, 41.2% of African American women, and 29.7% of Hispanic women (Crepelle 2020; Institute for Women’s Policy Research 2023). One of the main obstacles to keeping Native American women safer is that tribal nations have been functionally prohibited from prosecuting non-Native offenders of violence against Native Americans on their lands. Non-Native offenders comprise the bulk of domestic violence abusers in these communities. To address this inequity, the 2013 Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) created Special Domestic Violence Criminal Jurisdictions (SDVCJs). Through an application process, federally recognized tribal nations can create these jurisdictions to provide justice for the many women who are victims of domestic violence at the hands of non-Native persons. In this article we explore which tribal nations created these jurisdictions using an original dataset of the 354 tribal nations that were eligible to adopt an SDVCJ following the 2013 VAWA reauthorization. As of 2022, 31 tribal nations have adopted SDVCJs across 13 states, which have led to 74 domestic violence convictions. In this article, we explain adoption of these courts as a function of population, tribal nation fiscal capacity, federal grant support, and having an existing self-governance compact with the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

AMAN Indonesia's Contribution To Voicing The Peace Of Muslim Women In Indonesia by Using Social Media

The diversity that exists in Indonesia creates harmony but also creates conflict. In resolving a conflict, discussions must be held in order to create peace. Peace in resolving a conflict is not only carried out by men but women also have a very large role in voicing peace. With the development of technology and information media, peace campaigns can be carried out using social media but must be carried out by institutions that have been systematically organized so that peace goals can be achieved. The purpose of this study is to see the contribution of AMAN Indonesia as Indonesia's largest women's institution in voicing the peace of Muslim women in Indonesia using social media. The research method in this study uses descriptive qualitative using literature studies. The results of this study show that an institutional contribution to voicing women can be done with organized and transformed social movements using new technologies such as social media. AMAN Indonesia as a well-organized organization uses social media as a tool in voicing the peace of Muslim women in Indonesia. The activities carried out by AMAN Indonesia in voicing the peace of Muslim women in Indonesia are conducting open dialogues, group discussions, watching peaceful films, and education on social media.

Contraception Awareness and its Practise among Working Women in Institutions in North Karnataka: An Observational Survey

Introduction: Contraceptive choice is a critical component of women’s reproductive health and rights. In contrastthe social and economic correlates of contraceptive use are less well understood, particularly in low and middlesincome countries, where contraceptive use if often assessed in the contest of maternal and child health interventions.Objectives: To study the Awareness about the contraceptive methods, to understand the practice of contraceptionregarding contraception & to find the Myths and Taboos regarding contraception among working population.Methodology: This study was conducted among all working women belonging to the age group of 20-49 years innorthern district of Karnataka state, using a pre-validated questionnaire which was used to assess the awarenessand practices of contraception among working women.Results: Among the total 2000 women taken into the study only 1409 participants participated in the studyfrom that we observed that majority of them around 81.3% participants belonged to rural area, with 50.8%having a minimum graduate educational qualification & belonged to the age group of 20-29 years. Theywere aware of many factors about contraception such as the facilities where is it available the pros and consassociated with it but the association of disturbed cycles, its affectability to future pregnancy and weightgain were not known. Most of the women who practiced contraception commonly used condoms followedby permanent method of sterilization. Many women and their partners have the belief that contraception isassociated with various side effects and hence they step back from using the various methods of contraceptionavailable to them.Conclusion: the working women had awareness regarding the facilities where they could approach forcontraception, the advantage of preventing sexually transmitted diseases and so on. But they needed bettereducation of the various types of methods of contraception available to them and the best option they canchoose.

THE EFFECT OF SOCIAL COMPARISON ON FEMALE MODELS BODY IMAGE

Being female models are identical to have an attractive physical appearance such as a tall, thin and clean white skin, which this makes the models focus on their physical appearance. Furthermore, models have a tendency to compare themselves with others in order to fulfill the demands of the modeling industry. This study aims to determine whether there is an effect of social comparison on body image in the female model. The sample of this research is 275 female models with an age range of 18-30 years who are in Jakarta and are members of a modeling agency. Data were collected using social comparison and body image measurement tools. Social comparison was measured using Physical Appearance Comparison Scale-Revised (PACS-R) and body image measured using the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire–Appearance Scales (MBSRQ–AS). The results of this study prove that social comparison has a significant effect on the body image of female models in Jakarta. The effective contribution of social comparison to body image is 46.3%. The Implications of the research could be the baseline for women's empowerment institutions in increasing knowledge for women so that they are able to accept their physical appearance as it is. Specifically, this research is actually a reflection for all model agencies in terms of represent beauty to people through products or brand.

An online survey of UK women's attitudes to having children, the age they want children and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.

What are women's views on having children, including the age they want to have them and other influences such as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic? Women's views on having children, at their preferred age of 30 years, included their maternal urge and concerns about their biological clock and stability, while 19% said COVID-19 had affected their views. Women globally are delaying the birth of their first child, with the average age of first birth approaching 32 years in some countries. The average age women have their first child in the UK is 30.7 years and over 50% of women aged 30 years are childless. The fertility rate stands at 1.3 in several European Union countries. Some people are not having their desired family size or are childless by circumstance. It is essential to understand people's attitudes to having children in different countries to identify trends so we can develop educational resources in an age-appropriate manner. We conducted an anonymous, online survey of multiple choice and open-ended questions. The survey was live for 32 days from 15 May 2020 to 16 June 2020 and was promoted using social media. A total of 887 women from 44 countries participated in the survey. After filtering out women who did not consent, gave blank or incomplete responses, and those not in the UK, 411 responses remained. From the data, three areas of questioning were analysed: their views on having children, the ideal age they want to have children and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Qualitative data were analysed by thematic analysis. The average age (±SD) of the women who completed the survey was 32.2 years (±5.9), and they were mainly heterosexual (90.8%) and 84.8% had a university education. One-third of women were married/in a civil partnership (37.7%) and 36.0% were cohabitating. In relation to their views on having children, the main themes identified were: the maternal urge, the ticking of the biological clock, why did no one teach us this?, the need for stability and balance in their life, pressure to start a family and considering other ways to have a family. When asked 'In an ideal world, at what age approximately would you like to have had or have children?' a normal distribution was observed with a mean age of 29.9 (±3.3) years. When asked 'What factors have led you to decide on that particular age?' the most frequent choice was 'I am developing my career'. Three themes emerged from the qualitative question on why they chose that age: the need for stability and balance in their life, the importance of finding the right time and life experiences. The majority of women felt that the COVID-19 pandemic had not affected their decision to have children (72.3%), but 19.1% said it had. The qualitative comments showed they had concerns about instability in their life, such as finances and careers, and delays in fertility treatment. The survey was promoted on social media only and the women who answered the survey were highly educated. The women surveyed ideally want children at age 30 years but there are obstacles in their way, such as the need to develop their career. Global tailored fertility education is essential to ensure people make informed reproductive choices. In addition, it is essential for supportive working environments and affordable childcare to be in place in every country.

Factors Influencing Youth Sports Participation in Different Districts of Balochistan, A Province of Pakistan

This study was conducted to evaluate the factors influencing youth sports participation in different districts of Balochistan, a province of Pakistan. The current study was carried out in male and female degree colleges from six (06) randomly chosen Balochistan districts. In all, 824 students—512 men and 312 women representing 10% of the student body at 18 men's colleges and 14 women's institutions participated in the study. The researcher created and employed a structured five-point Likert scale questionnaire, with responses ranging from Strongly Agree (SA), Agree (A), Neutral (N), and Disagree (DA), to Strongly Disagree (SDA). The significant level for the p-value that the researcher used to accept or reject the given hypotheses was 0.05. The study's findings showed that youth sports involvement in various districts of Balochistan is influenced by a number of factors, including parental financial resources, a lack of access to sports equipment due to high marketing costs.

Women's status, breastfeeding support, and breastfeeding practices in the United States.

The objective of this study is to examine associations between state-level breastfeeding support and breastfeeding practices, controlling for women’s status, in the U.S. We used publicly available data on state-level breastfeeding practices and support (international board-certified lactation consultants (IBCLC), births in Baby-Friendly hospitals, and La Leche League Leaders) for births in 2015 from the CDC Breastfeeding Report Card (2018) and other CDC reported data, and indicators of women’s status from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research reports (2015). We conducted an ecological study to estimate incidence rate ratios of exclusive breastfeeding at six months and breastfeeding at 12 months with breastfeeding supports using bivariate and multivariable Poisson regression. Political participation, poverty, and employment and earnings were associated with breastfeeding practices, as was each breastfeeding support in bivariate analyses. After controlling for women’s status, only IBCLCs were positively associated with rates of exclusive breastfeeding at 6 months and continued breastfeeding at 12 months. For every additional IBCLC per 1000 live births, the rate of exclusive breastfeeding at 6 months increased by 5 percent (95% CI 1.03, 1.07) and the rate of breastfeeding at 12 months increased by 4 percent (95% CI 1.02, 1.06). Political participation, poverty, and employment and earnings were associated with breastfeeding practices, indicating a relationship between women’s political and economic status and their breastfeeding practices in the U.S. Given the influence of women’s status, increasing the number of IBCLCs may improve breastfeeding practices.

Impact Of Covid-19 Infection On Activity Levels, Perceived Fatigue, And Mental Health

Physical activity patterns have changed dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether perceived fatigue and mental health, which are known to be altered after surviving COVID-19 infection, impacts physical activity is not understood. PURPOSE: To determine associations between indices of mental health, perceptions of fatigue, and physical activity in COVID-19 survivors. METHODS: 24 COVID-19 survivor-control pairs (n = 48, males 14, females 34) matched for age, sex, and BMI and 2-13 months post infection (8.04 ± 0.71 months), aged 19-69 yr (38.6 ± 17.8 yr, 46 White, 2 Asian) completed 1) Past Medical History, 2) Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS), 3) Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy – Fatigue (FACIT-F), and 4) wore an accelerometer to track activity for up to 7 days. RESULTS: There were no differences between controls (CON) and COVID-19 survivors (COV) for sedentary time/day (p = 0.14), sedentary bouts/day (p = 0.29), and steps/day (p = 0.31). COV scored higher than CON on the depression subsection of the DASS (6.17 ± 6.54 vs. 2.88 ± 3.99, p = 0.021). COV also scored higher than CON on the anxiety sub-section of the DASS (5.17 ± 4.57 vs. 2.83 ± 3.58, p = 0.028). However, COV were similar to CON on the stress sub-section of the DASS (6.83 ± 4.97 vs. 8.92 ± 7.25, p = 0.13). Additionally, COV reported greater feelings of fatigue, scoring lower than CON on the FACIT-F by 6.08 points (p = 0.004). There were no correlations between anxiety and depression with steps/day (R2 = 0.005-0.09), nor between time since infection with perceived fatigue, anxiety, and depression (R2 = 0.0007-0.2). CONCLUSION: Despite being 8 months post COVID infection on average, COVID survivors reported greater anxiety, depression, and feelings of fatigue than healthy matched controls during the pandemic. Physical activity (steps/day), thought to accelerate recovery from COVID-19, did not appear to mediate an individual’s perceived fatigue and mental health in these mild-to-moderate cases of COVID-19 infection.

Pain Perception At Rest And With Movement Following Coronavirus Disease

The long-term effects of COVID-19 are unknown, especially regarding the development of chronic pain. PURPOSE: To investigate pain perception at rest and with movement in people post COVID-19 and control participants. METHODS: Participants with and without post COVID-19 attended one research session. Pain perception was assessed by the following: 1) clinical questionnaires 2) pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) and 3) during movement. Clinical pain assessments include the Short-Form McGill Pain Rating Index (PRI) and the PROMIS Pain Intensity Scale (5-point numerical rating scale). The PROMIS Scale was used by participants with COVID-19 to rate their worst pain intensity during acute infection and by both groups to rate current pain intensity. PPTs were measured at the quadriceps muscle with a computerized pressure algometer. Movement-evoked pain was measured pre-, post-, and peak during submaximal cycling and spirometry using an 11-point numerical rating scale. RESULTS: Fifty-eight people post COVID-19 (41 women, 42.6 yrs., 7.5 mo. post-infection) and 29 controls (20 women, 36.7 yrs.) participated in the protocol. For COVID-19 participants, the worst PROMIS pain intensity was distributed as follows: No Pain (n = 8), Mild (n = 7), Moderate (n = 15), Severe (n = 20), Very Severe (n = 8). PROMIS current pain intensity was significantly different between groups (p = 0.04); although both groups reported none-mild current pain intensity. For PRI, post COVID-19 participants had mild-moderate pain quality and control participants reported none/mild pain quality (p = 0.08). There were no differences in PPTs (p = 0.32). Movement-evoked pain was minimal (pre-, post-, and peak) with submaximal cycling and spirometry testing. No differences were reported between groups except for peak spirometry pain (p = 0.049). CONCLUSIONS: Participants with COVID-19 reported higher pain intensity at rest than controls over a prolonged duration, indicating that they are at risk for the development of chronic pain. The higher pain intensity in the mild-moderate COVID cases did not translate to differences in movement-evoked pain or pressure pain perception.
