This study examines the determinants of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance among Chinese financial institutions, with particular emphasis on community engagement, firm size, and ownership structure as drivers of ESG performance and their contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Utilizing ESG ratings from CSRHub and annual reports from 107 financial companies spanning 2022–2024, hierarchical regression analyses demonstrate that community engagement significantly predicts ESG performance (β = 0.816, p < 0.001), explaining 67.7% of the variance in ESG ratings. Conversely, the firm (β = 5.687 × 10−6, p > 0.05) and the ownership structure (β = 1.35, p > 0.05) exhibit no statistically significant effect. Robustness evaluations, concerning bootstrapping methodologies and calculations of heteroscedasticity-consistent standard errors, check these findings. The cross-sectional design limits causal inference. Longitudinal studies would allow deeper exploration of temporal dynamics. The results specify that community engagement acts as the primary factor affecting ESG performance within Chinese financial institutions, whereas firm size and ownership structure exercise insignificant influence. Financial institutions should prioritize substantive, sustained community initiatives rather than relying on organizational scale or state affiliation. For policymakers, the findings suggest that incentive mechanisms (e.g., tax credits or green-finance subsidies) should reward verifiable community-impact outcomes rather than firm size or state ownership, which do not reliably predict superior ESG performance.

This paper explores the emerging potential of large language models (LLMs) and generative AI for social network analysis (SNA) based on open-ended survey data as a source. We introduce a novel methodology, Survey-to-Multilayer Network (SURVEY2MLN), which systematically transforms qualitative survey responses into structured multilayer social networks. The proposed approach integrates prompt engineering with LLM-based text interpretation to extract entities and infer relationships, formalizing them as distinct network layers representing research similarity, communication, and organizational affiliation. The SURVEY2MLN methodology is defined through six phases, including data preprocessing, prompt-based extraction, network construction, integration, analysis, and validation. We demonstrate its application through a real-world case study within an academic department, where prompt engineering was used to extract and model relational data from narrative responses. The resulting multilayer network reveals both explicit and latent social structures that are not accessible through conventional survey techniques. Our results show that LLMs can serve as effective tools for deriving sociograms from free-form text and highlight the potential of AI-driven methods to advance SNA into new, text-rich domains of inquiry.

Religious moderation is a fundamental element of Islamic education within Indonesia’s increasingly plural and dynamic social context. This study aims to analyze the practices of religious moderation through students’ interactions within an Islamic senior secondary school, namely MAN 1 Madiun, involving students from different Islamic organizational backgrounds. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through direct observation and in-depth interviews with purposively selected students, enabling the exploration of students’ lived religious experiences in their natural school setting. The findings indicate that religious activities, such as istighosah, collective Qur’an recitation, and congregational prayers, are conducted inclusively without segregation based on organizational affiliation. Technical differences in worship practices, including the use of qunut supplication in the dawn prayer, are understood as legitimate forms of Islamic diversity and are accepted without generating conflict. The novelty of this study lies in its empirical evidence derived from students’ everyday interactions, demonstrating that daily social engagement serves as an effective medium for internalizing values of religious moderation. Furthermore, non-discriminatory institutional policies play a crucial role in fostering a tolerant and cohesive educational environment. These findings contribute to the development of moderate Islamic pedagogy by emphasizing structured religious habituation, students’ social experiences, and inclusive school governance as key strategies for strengthening religious moderation, offering valuable insights for other Islamic educational institutions with similar diverse contexts

In psychological science, researchers have long explored how individuals interact with their cultural context. Although it is commonly accepted that cultural factors shape individuals, the extent of this influence has not been clearly established. Some argue that culture profoundly shapes the human psyche, while others suggest a more limited cultural influence. This paper synthesizes these perspectives and reframes the inquiry from ‘To what extent is an individual’s life cultural?’ to “Which life domains are cultural?” To address this empirically, we sourced data from 147,260 participants residing in 88 different countries, who reported on 243 variables across, representing a wide range of different life domains. We analyzed 1,328 parameters derived from Intraclass Correlation Coefficients and Within-and-Between Analysis I, which quantify the proportion of variance in phenomena explained by differences at four levels of grouping: country, cultural zones, regions, and residential areas. We found that domains such as religious values, sexuality, social capital, and beliefs about out-groups vary significantly across cultures, whereas economic values, children’s qualities, perceptions of science and technology, and organizational affiliation show less variation. We situate these findings within models explaining societal constructs based on chronology, complexity, and evolutionary obligations.

To evaluate how adding kidney transplantation waitlisting measures-the Standardized First Kidney Transplant Waitlist Ratio for Incident Dialysis Patients (SWR) and Percentage of Prevalent Patients Waitlisted (PPPW)-affects Dialysis Facility Care Compare Star Ratings. In this observational, cross-sectional study, we calculated the difference between facilities' published (with waitlisting measures) and counterfactual (without waitlisting measures) Star Ratings. We used multinomial regression to examine associations between Star Rating changes after waitlisting measure inclusion and facility characteristics and calculated corresponding average risk differences. We used comprehensive clinical and administrative data from the Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services from 2021 to investigate the impact of waitlisting measure addition on Star Ratings. Facility characteristics included demographic and patient mix, area deprivation index (ADI), dialysis organization affiliation, and urbanicity. 36.5% of facilities' ratings changed after waitlisting measures were added. Facility characteristics associated with a higher average risk of Star increase included location in low-ADI (0.091; 95% CI: 0.072, 0.109) or urban areas (0.061; 95% CI: 0.034, 0.087), independent/small dialysis organization affiliation (0.062; 95% CI: 0.041, 0.083), and having more PD patients (0.115; 95% CI: 0.093, 0.138). Characteristics associated with a higher average risk of Star decrease included high-ADI (0.075; 95% CI: 0.054, 0.095) or rural (0.056; 95% CI: 0.028, 0.083) location, large dialysis organization affiliation (0.058; 95% CI: 0.039, 0.078), having more patients with dual Medicare/Medicaid eligibility (0.052; 95% CI: 0.032, 0.071), and having fewer peritoneal dialysis patients (0.100; 95% CI: 0.081, 0.120). Including waitlisting measures significantly impacts the Star Ratings and captures a new dimension of care quality. Worse socioeconomic status-related facility characteristics were strongly associated with worse Star Rating outcomes. These findings can inform future discussions about risk adjustment among the developers of the SWR and PPPW measures.

Evaluating the performance of research ethics committees provides valuable data that can enhance their effectiveness. This survey assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices concerning the publication ethics standards among the members of these committees in Iranian universities of medical sciences, where RECs are legally responsible for assessment of research misconduct in addition to reviewing research proposals. A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based survey was conducted among 240 members of Research Ethics Committees from Iranian universities of medical sciences. The survey assessed knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding publication ethics standards. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and statistical tests. The study revealed that the overall knowledge of Research Ethics Committee (REC) members regarding publication ethics standards was moderate, with an average score of 51.91%. Ethics experts demonstrated the highest level of knowledge (0.69), followed by methodologists (0.68) and researchers (0.64), while clerics and lawyers exhibited the lowest scores. Prior ethics training significantly enhanced knowledge, attitudes, and practices, indicating that training is a critical factor in improving ethical competencies. Members demonstrated stronger adherence to standards related to authorship criteria and responsibilities but exhibited limited understanding of conflict of interest and organizational affiliation standards. Moderate correlations were observed between knowledge, attitudes, and practices, suggesting that improving knowledge through targeted training may positively influence attitudes and ethical practices. The survey raises serious concerns about the knowledge of REC members in this area, especially considering that, RECs are responsible for assessing research misconduct, which often includes issues related to publication ethics.

The article is devoted to clarifying the constitutional and legal basis for determining the affiliation of religious organizations in Ukraine under martial law. It substantiates the relevance of the legislative novelty regarding “affiliation” as a mechanism for minimizing external influence on the religious environment while respecting the right to freedom of worldview and religion. It has been found that in the current security environment, the state is forced to combine the principles of secularism, neutrality, and equality of confessions with preventive tools to counter threats, including by clarifying the status and ties of religious organizations with foreign religious organizations whose activities are prohibited in Ukraine by law. The content of the signs of affiliation of religious organizations in Ukraine is revealed, which cover both formal legal ties (statutory provisions, decisions of governing bodies, inclusion in the structure) and organizational-canonical subordination (hierarchical subordination, personnel approvals, approval of statutes, mandatory conciliar and synodal decisions). The relationship between the new mechanism and international human rights standards, the criteria of necessity and proportionality of intervention, as well as constitutional requirements for restrictions on human rights are highlighted. The methodological basis of the study is formal legal, systemic, and comparative legal methods; analysis of the Constitution of Ukraine, special legislation, subordinate acts, and practical materials of the central executive body that implements state policy in the field of religion was used. Approaches to identifying signs of affiliation have been generalized, which in practice combine the assessment of documented legal ties and the recording of real organizational and canonical influence. The need to develop standards of proof and clarify procedural guarantees for religious organizations has been noted. The practical significance of the work lies in the formulation of proposals for improving law enforcement practices: establishing a transparent procedure for determining signs of affiliation, standardizing the content of orders to eliminate violations, defining requirements for evidence of organizational and canonical subordination, and harmonizing the actions of state authorities with the principles of religious pluralism.

The study explores the qualifications and competency needs of professionals working at Swedish Maria clinics, specialized in treating youth with co-occurring substance use and mental health problems. A web-based survey was conducted among 87 professionals working at the clinics to assess their qualifications, competence in managing co-occurring problems and perceived needs for further training. Most professionals had high educational qualifications, with backgrounds in social work, nursing and psychology. Although health care and social services professionals had generally similar competencies, there were some notable differences in their professionalism and competency needs. Healthcare professionals were more likely to report competence in managing severe psychiatric conditions. In contrast, social services professionals more often reported using a broader range of treatment methods. Both groups identified a need for further education in managing severe psychiatric conditions, such as trauma, psychosis and eating disorders. Social services professionals more frequently emphasized the need for family-oriented approaches, while healthcare professionals more often identified a need for more in-depth knowledge related to substance use. While professionals at the clinics generally possess strong qualifications, there are differences in their confidence and expertise relating to managing complex mental health conditions. Tailored training initiatives that address specific needs based on professionals' educational backgrounds and organizational affiliations could enhance inter-professional collaboration and improve treatment outcomes for youth with co-occurring substance use and mental health problems.

Physician organization (PO) affiliation with health systems and its association with health care disparities for dual-eligible Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries, who face significant barriers to care, remains underexplored. To estimate the association of health system affiliation with disparities in quality of care and health care utilization for dual-eligible beneficiaries relative to non-dual-eligible Medicare beneficiaries and to decompose these associations into within-PO and between-PO components. This cohort study used data from 2013 to 2019 on primary care POs and beneficiaries enrolled in traditional Medicare. Statistical analysis was performed from April 2024 to March 2025. Affiliation with health systems, defined as ownership or management relationships, using Medicare Provider Enrollment, Chain, and Ownership System data and Internal Revenue Service Form 990 data. Eight quality measures assessing receipt of preventive services, chronic condition management, medication adherence, and care coordination and continuity and 5 measures of health care utilization in different settings and with different physician specialists. Linear mixed-effects models were used to estimate changes in disparities before and after affiliation for primary care POs between 2013 and 2019. A total of 5005 primary care POs and more than 5.6 million Medicare beneficiaries (mean [SD] age, 75.5 [7.5] years; 58.4% women) were analyzed, including approximately 700 000 dual-eligible beneficiaries. Affiliation with health systems was associated with widened disparities in diabetic eye examinations (3.5 percentage point larger relative reduction for dual-eligible beneficiaries compared with non-dual-eligible beneficiaries) and follow-up visits after acute events (3.5 percentage point larger relative reduction). On the other hand, dual-eligible beneficiaries experienced relative improvements in continuity of care with primary care clinicians (1.9 percentage points) and POs (1.4 percentage points) compared with non-dual-eligible beneficiaries, as well as larger relative improvements in statin prescribing (1.8 percentage points), widening preaffiliation differences that favored dual-eligible beneficiaries. Four of these 5 measures were associated with widening within-PO and between-PO disparities. Despite moderate and large preaffiliation disparities in primary care clinician visits and specialist visits, respectively, for dual-eligible beneficiaries relative to non-dual-eligible beneficiaries, disparities in primary care clinician visits widened (21 fewer visits per 100 beneficiaries) while disparities in specialist visits did not change meaningfully. In this cohort study, health system affiliation by primary care POs was associated with both positive and negative associations with disparities for dual-eligible beneficiaries and did not reduce the largest preaffiliation disparities. Health systems must strengthen their care delivery models to expand access to specialists and avoid exacerbating disparities in follow-up care. Health systems could identify factors associated with improved care at high-percentage dual POs for replication.

Objectives: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common healthcare-associated infections in Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs); they are associated with longer lengths of stay, higher levels of care, increased treatment costs, and higher mortality rates. This study aimed to develop a machine learning classification model to predict the risk of high catheter-associated urinary tract infection rates based on SNF characteristics. Methods: We analyzed 94,877 total SNF-year observations from 2019 to 2024, not unique facilities; thus, individual SNFs may appear in multiple years. The factor variables were average length of stay in days, number of staffed beds, total nurse and total physical therapy staffing hours per resident per day, facility ownership, geographic classification, facility accreditation, Accountable Care Organization affiliations, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services SNF Overall Star Rating, and the SNF-year of the observations. We utilized three machine learning models for this analysis: Random Forest, XGBoost, and LightGBM. We used Shapley Additive exPlanations to interpret the best-performing machine learning model by visualizing feature importance and examining the relationship between key predictors and the outcome. Results: We found that machine learning models outperformed traditional logistic regression in predicting UTIs in skilled nursing facilities. Using the best-performing model, Random Forest, we identified rural SNFs, and the number of staffed beds as the most influential predictors of high UTI rates, followed by average length of stay, and geographic location. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the value of using facility-level characteristics to predict the risk of UTIs in SNFs with machine learning models. Results from this study can inform infection prevention efforts in post-acute care settings.

Physician Organization Affiliation With Health Systems and Equitable Care Delivery

After presenting school psychology organizational models from the perspective of organizational position, the study analyzes certain aspects of the Kőbánya School Psychology Model. The empirical material of the article consists of qualitative interview analyses. The survey corresponds to the research material of the author’s earlier article (Borbáth-Kürty, 2025), but this study undertakes an analysis from a different perspective. In the study, the main and subthemes identified through deductive and inductive content analysis of interviews in the genre of oral history are organized into thematic content clusters. This study focuses on the presentation of subthemes related to attitudes toward organizational position, emotions connected to the organization, group formation, and afterlife, and it also includes several examples of good practices. The conclusions emphasize the complex impact of the organizational model and highlight the determining role of organizational position and affiliation with a professional center, which influences the Kőbánya School Psychology Model as an organizational model in its entirety, including the motivational foundation and elements supporting mental health. Furthermore, these models may also indicate the level of attachment to the workplace.

ABSTRACT This study delves into the relationship between social work professionalism and organisational dynamics. It addresses a notable gap in social work literature by examining how social workers perceive and engage with the organisations they serve. Drawing on a survey conducted among Swedish social workers, data from 2018 is analysed. The findings reveal a wide array of job titles for social workers in Sweden as well as divergent perspectives among them, highlighting contrasting attitudes towards professional identity, autonomy, and organisational affiliation. Through a theory-based analysis the study offers insights into the cognitive bases of social workers regarding their tasks, shedding light on the prioritisation of knowledge, skills, and values within different professional and organisational roles. Additionally, it identifies discrepancies between idealised notions of social work and the realities in various organisational contexts. By elucidating the interaction between social work professionalism and organisational influences, the study reveals variation in social workers’ professional roles, tasks, and perspectives. In conclusion, the results point to the necessity of moving beyond generic perspectives of social workers to acknowledge the specific organisations in which they are expected to apply their expertise – also when studying the social work profession itself.

Background. Scientometrics has a significant impact on research policies, allocation of research budgets, equipping research centers, and setting research priorities. In the present study, pharmaceutical studies published by Iranian authors were studied based on scientometric parameters during the last decade (2013-2022). Methods. Total number of the indexed articles, the number of citations, top articles in terms of citation rate, organizational affiliation, international collaboration, type of document, the number of retracted papers, titles of the journals publishing the articles, and the number of open access papers were collected from the Scopus database. Results. The results showed that in the past years, the number of articles by Iranian pharmaceutical researchers was higher compared to the researchers of developed countries such as Japan and Switzerland, but the number of citations was lower. Review articles dealing with general topics that are among the trends in the pharmaceutical sciences globally have been cited more frequently. Type I universities have published the highest number of articles in the field of pharmaceutical sciences, and Tehran, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, and Tabriz University of Medical Sciences were at the top of the list. Iranian researchers had the highest number of international collaborations with the USA and UK research groups. Moreover, most of the published Iranian articles were original and review articles, but the number of indexed books or book chapters in Scopus was the lowest Conclusion. The researchers of pharmaceutical sciences in Iran had a good growth in terms of scientometric indicators and international collaboration, and review articles were very important in improving the scientometric indicators. Based on findings, it is necessary for the research policy makers and granting bodies to support more qualified research projects, observe ethics in research, and encourage the publication of authentic scientific books or book chapters. Practical Implications. Retrospective scientometric study of the subject areas is one of the most practical methods for measuring the achievement of research goals set in the subject area. This method can identify the strengths and weaknesses of the research area and enable national policy-making to make the research area more efficient.

Plastic pollution in marine environments is an escalating global issue, particularly in coastal regions where geomorphic processes and relatively high waste input can lead to significant accumulation. In this study, we analysed citizen science (CS) data from the Big Microplastic Survey (BMS), collected by volunteers across 39 countries between March 2018 and April 2024. The BMS project provided information about microplastic (MP) and mesoplastic (MEP) distributions from coastlines around the world. Using descriptive statistics, we examined volunteer participation and engagement, as well as the geographical distribution of MPs and MEPs based on characteristics and colour. Our analysis highlighted some of the challenges associated with CS projects and the importance of organisational affiliations in influencing data submission. There was substantial variability in the geographical distributions of plastics, suggesting regional pollution dynamics that were influenced by both anthropogenic and natural coastal processes. In this study, our analysis of global, regional, and localised data underscored the value of CS in augmenting traditional scientific methods, providing critical insights into coastal plastic pollution, and potentially engaging communities in environmental stewardship. We also discovered that engaging with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) was particularly effective in facilitating data collection. We advocate for a strategic focus on organisational participation in CS projects, to improve data collection and assess spatial and temporal trends more fully.

<p><strong>Abstract: </strong>The traditional classification of pesantren into salaf, khalaf, or mixed categories no longer captures the rich diversity of contemporary Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia. This study proposes a revised typological framework that considers the ideological and organizational affiliations of pesantren—such as NU) Muhammadiyah, Persis, Shia, and LDII. Employing qualitative library research, the analysis draws from institutional records, curriculum documents, and scholarly literature. Findings reveal that each affiliation manifests distinct educational visions: NU emphasizes tafaqquh fi al-din through classical texts; Muhammadiyah blends national education with reformist Islam; Persis promotes rationalism and anti-madhhab discourse; Shia pesantren foreground philosophy and logic; and LDII implements a closed, tiered system. The study argues for redefining pesantren typology through ideological and pedagogical lenses, offering a more accurate framework for scholars, educators, and policymakers engaging with Indonesia’s pluralistic Islamic education landscape.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Curriculum, Pesantren Typology, Islamic Education, Indonesian Islamic Organizations, Religious Affiliation.</p><p><em> </em></p>

This study investigates the dynamics of religion in Bandar Lampung City, with a particular focus on the interaction between religion, tradition, and identity within the context of Indonesian urban society. Through a qualitative approach, this study analyzes three main aspects: the socio-religious structure, the role of mosques as discourse spaces, and the centrality of the Qur’an in the daily lives of Muslim communities. Observations and in-depth interviews were conducted in three main mosques in the city: the Al-Furqan Grand Mosque, the Al-Abror Grand Mosque, and the Taqwa Grand Mosque. The results show that religion, especially Islam, has become an integral part of the identity of the Lampung community. Despite internal diversity within the Muslim community, harmony among the people is maintained. The analysis of the three main mosques reveals differences in the tendencies of religious ideologies and discourses, which are influenced by historical background, organizational affiliation, and socio-political context. This study also finds the central role of the Qur’an in daily religious practices, a testament to the respect and appreciation for religious texts in the Muslim community. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complexity and dynamics of religiosity in contemporary urban Indonesian society, highlighting how religious values adapt and transform in the context of modernity while maintaining their role as social and cultural foundations.

The article examines current problems of law enforcement in the field of termination of civil service at the initiative of the appointing entity. It reveals certain problems that are most typical for this category of legal relations, related to the ambiguity of the interpretation of the concepts of «liquidation» and «reorganization» of a state body, which directly affects the legality of dismissal and provision of guarantees for civil servants. Based on the analysis of judicial practice, in particular the decisions of the Supreme Court, the study proves that the formal use of the term «liquidation» does not always mean the termination of the existence of the body if the functional load is transferred to a newly formed structure. In this case, there is a reorganization of the state body (reduction in the number or staff of civil servants, reduction of civil service positions due to changes in the structure or staffing of the state body), which provides for compliance with additional guarantees for those civil servants whose positions are reduced. The issue of insufficient regulation in the legislation on the state service of guarantees for socially vulnerable categories of employees pregnant women and women with children – is separately highlighted. It was established that the legislation on civil service does not contain special norms prohibiting the dismissal of such categories of civil servants, therefore, in practice, the relevant provisions of the Labor Code of Ukraine should be applied. It was concluded that the provisions of the current legislation regarding the termination of civil service at the initiative of the appointing entity require further improvement and more systematic interpretation by the judiciary. Ways to eliminate the identified conflicts and gaps are proposed, taking into account modern standards of legal certainty, the principle of social protection and equality for all categories of employees, regardless of the form of ownership, type of activity and industry affiliation of enterprises, institutions or organizations.

Background Despite advances in understanding and studying fatigue in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs), no studies have addressed the literature that address the influence of religiosity and spirituality on fatigue in IIM patients. Methodology This multicenter, case-control study was conducted at four Brazilian institutions following the STROBE protocol. Data were collected between August 2022 and April 2023 using a semi-structured questionnaire that included sociodemographic information and the Duke University Religion Index (DUREL) with three domains (organizational religious affiliation (ORA), non-organizational religious affiliation (NORA), and intrinsic religiosity (IR)), Attitudes Related to Spirituality Scale (ARES), and Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). Fatigue was defined as FSS scores ≥36. The sample was not probabilistic due to the rarity of IIMs. The control group was randomly selected from the same city where the case group was selected. Logistic regression was performed with the variables that showed statistical significance in the bivariate analysis. Results The IIM group was positively associated withIR (odds ratio (OR) = 2.70, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.20-1.77, p = 0.013), income of less than two minimum wages (OR = 12.21, 95% CI = 1.54-4.02, p < 0.001), between 2 and 4 (OR = 12.52, 95% CI = 1.31-3.73, p < 0.001), and being alone (OR = 0.18, 95% CI = -2.47 to -0.91, p < 0.001) in the multivariate analysis. The presence of fatigue (OR = 3.30, 95% CI = 0.56-1.82, p < 0.001) and comorbidities (OR = 3.36, 95% CI = 0.59-1.83, p < 0.001) were also associated with the case group in logistic regression. The IIM group with fatigue had higher religiosity (ORA, NORA, and IR) levels compared to patients without fatigue. Conclusions IIM with fatigue was associated with the presence of comorbidities, low socioeconomic levels, absence of a partner, and higher levels of religiosity.

Modern military conflicts, global threats and dangers, challenges to the established world order, improvement of methods of warfare encourage the intensification of international communication and information exchange at the level of military departments and personnel. The result of such communication is the creation and development of the latest military terminology, algorithms for its improvement, clarity and correctness in translation. Terminology is not a static system, it is constantly evolving along with the development of technology and scientific knowledge. This is especially important to consider when translating the latest terms in the military branch, where each new invention or technology requires the introduction of new terms or revision of old ones. Changes in the military sphere and technological progress lead to an increase in the number of new terms and, accordingly, difficulties in translating them, but at the same time there are semantic changes such as expanding or changing the meaning of existing terms. At the present stage of nativization of the Ukrainian military terminology, it is important to unify terms and search for an exact match in the target language. A structural analysis of the military terminology indicates its division into one-word and multicomponent. Analytical terms make up the majority and show a steady tendency to increase their number. The most productive are two-, three- and four-word units, as well as a various types of shortenings, including abbreviations and acronyms. The choice of a translation method depends on several factors, such as the context, the target audience, the specifics of the term, its consistency in the language, and external aspects of the culture. A word-for-word translation is the best option for displaying technical terms when accuracy and clarity must be maintained. Adaptation is more relevant for new terms or those that have cultural specificity and contextual dependence. Transcription is usually resorted to when a term is a proper name or when its sound matters. Translation of abbreviations and acronyms, the meaning of which are determined by the context and organizational affiliation, cause particular difficulties.
