This means that there are differences in the variables in the research data.

A comparative study between dinoprostone pessary and dinoprostone gel for induction of labor and neonatal outcome

This study compares the safety and efficacy of two dinoprostone formulations – a pessary and a gel. A retrospective randomised observational study was conducted to compare Dinoprostone controlled release pessary and Dinoprostone gel for induction of labor at term in women with unfavourable cervix at Apollo Hospitals BGS, Mysuru during August 2018 – May 2020. Among study participants 50 expectant mothers received Dinoprostone pessary while 50 women received Dinoprostone gel for induction of labour. Both groups were compared and the outcomes were analysed. The primary outcomes of the study were induction to delivery interval, successful vaginal delivery, need for operative vaginal delivery and need for caesarean section. Secondary outcomes were observed for neonatal morbidity and uterine hyperstimulation. There was a significant (p=<0.001) improvement in Bishop scores after induction in both groups. When only the post-induction scores for the two formulations were compared, the pessary helped to improve the bishops score (or helps in cervical ripening) better than the gel formulation and therefore can help to improve the chances of vaginal delivery(because there is a significant change in post induction bishop score in pessary group). The mean interval from induction to delivery for the pessary group was 11.03±4.648 hours and for the gel it was 21.18±9.127 hours with a significant p value <0.005The pessary showed a significant improvement in the post-induction Bishop score and a shorter induction to delivery time compared to the gel. Differences in the mode of delivery were not significant. Fortunately, no serious side effects to the mother or fetus were observed with both products. Both formulations of dinoprostone are safe for induction of labor at term. However, pessary achieves comparitively a higher rate of spontaneous vaginal delivery with a shorter labor induction time. Ease of administration, single application and thus decreased chance of infections are its additional benefits.

A nők teológiai képzésének első száz éve Kolozsváron

The First Hundred Years of Women’s Theological Education in Cluj-Napoca. The initial topic of the study at hand addresses the beginnings. In terms of women’s education, one of the positive effects of the Reformation is the insistence on the widespread availability of the Bible, which was inevitably followed by the eradication of illiteracy among women. Following the Reformation, another argument emerged in favour of the importance of educating women in theology: society regarded women as a key role in raising children, so in order to raise their children educated in theology, their ability to do so became a priority. The second topic addresses the direct preconditions of the theological education of women, especially the changes in the 19th-century school history, which resulted in women’s admission to universities and opening up the opportunity for them to obtain degrees in higher education. Furthermore, the study presents the past hundred years of women’s education in theology in the Protestant educational centres of Cluj-Napoca – from the first enrolment, the first ordained woman minister up to the present time. Keywords: Reformed women’s education, women in theological academic education, women as religion teachers, the ordination of women in the Protestant denominations, women in the Reformed theological education in Cluj-Napoca/Kolozsvár

A Review on Medicinal Plants Used for Women’s Diseases and Health in Anatolia (Turkey)

Anatolia is of great importance in terms of researching plants used as traditional folk medicine, as Turkey has a rich flora in terms of biological diversity and has hosted many ancient civilizations. This study, it is aimed to scientifically determine the plants used by the people in traditional treatment for women's diseases and health and to compile local information about them. Within the scope of this study, many literatures were reviewed. In general studies, it has been seen that researchers show more interest in medicinal plants, but they do not do enough research in terms of women's diseases and health. Within the scope of this study, it has been determined that 141 plant species belonging to 54 families are used in women's diseases and health. Accordingly, the first 5 families are Asteraceae (24), Lamiaceae (12), Rosaceae (9), Fabaceae (7), and Apiaceae (6). It has been determined that important plant species such as Allium cepa L., Alcea apterocarpa Boiss., Ficus carica L., Malva sylvestris L., Papaver bracteatum Lindl., Prunus spinosa L. and Zea mays L. are used in women diseases and health. In this study, 72 references has been examined to determine the women's diseases in Anatolia.

Global Trends of Gender Studies in Tourism: a Bibliometric Analysis Using Scopus Database

Different articles on gender studies in tourism were retrieved using Scopus, one of the most popular databases. The research articles are considered between 2003 and 2022. Scopus analyzer is used to get analysis results such as documents by year, source, country, etc. VOSviewer Version 1.6.17 is used to analyse different units such as co-authorship, co-occurrences, citation analysis, etc. Statistical analysis and network analysis show the maximum number of articles published in 2020 and 2022, with the United States contributing the most significant number of documents. The results also show that the number of publications was minimal in the first ten years, and the growth was uneven. Still, in the following ten years, the number of published articles gradually increased, especially in 2019, when the number of publications increased significantly. Researchers from the USA, UK and Australia publish nearly 40% of all articles worldwide, ahead of 48 other countries and territories. At the same time, the top three most productive universities from each of the top 10 countries belong to the three countries mentioned above. Gender research in tourism has been studied at the initiative of scientists from democratically developed English-speaking countries and some Western countries, and it can be said that mass interest has only been awakened since the IV World Women's Conference held in 2019. Network analysis of different parameters indicates that there is a lot of scope to contribute to further research in terms of Women's Status, Empowerment and Sustainability.

Australian, Irish, and Swedish women’s comfort levels when breastfeeding in public

BackgroundDespite a flux of global initiatives to increase and sustain breastfeeding rates, challenges persist. The decision to commence and sustain breastfeeding is influenced by multiple, complex factors. Feelings of social embarrassment, shame, fear of judgement, and lack of confidence when breastfeeding in public, compound women’s decisions to breastfeed and may result in formula feeding or early cessation of breastfeeding. A greater understanding of where and how women feel most comfortable when breastfeeding in public can assist in designing interventions to support the initiation and continuation of breastfeeding.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted with women living in Australia (n = 10,910), Sweden (n = 1,520), and Ireland (n = 1,835), who were currently breastfeeding or who had breastfed within the previous two years. Our aim was to explore where, and how often women breastfeed in public and to compare their levels of comfort when breastfeeding in public. Data were collected in 2018 using an anonymous online survey over a four-week period in Ireland, Australia, and Sweden, and were analyzed using SPSS Version 25.ResultsMost respondents were highly educated, with over 70% in each country reporting having a university or college degree. Observing women breastfeeding in public was more commonly reported to be a weekly or daily occurrence in Sweden (24.5%) and Australia (28%), than in Ireland (13.3%). Women in the participating countries reported breastfeeding in public most commonly whenever their babies needed feeding. Very few women never or rarely breastfed publicly. Coffee shops/cafes, restaurants, and parks were the most popular locations. In all three countries, partners were reported to be very supportive of breastfeeding in public, which enhanced breastfeeding women’s comfort levels. When asked to score out of a maximum comfort level of 10, women reported higher mean levels of comfort when breastfeeding in front of strangers (Ireland M = 7.33, Australia M = 6.58, Sweden M = 6.75) than with those known to them, particularly in front of their father-in-law (Ireland M = 5.44, Australia M = 5.76, Sweden M = 6.66 out of 10), who scored lowest in terms of women’s comfort levels.ConclusionThis study offers important insights into the experiences and comfort levels of women breastfeeding in public. Limitations include the anonymous nature of the surveys, thus preventing follow-up, and variances in terminology used to describe locations across the three settings. Recommendations are made for research to determine the relationships between the frequency of breastfeeding in public and breastfeeding women’s perceived comfort levels, the influence of family members’ perceptions of breastfeeding in public and women’s experiences, and the experience of women who feel uncomfortable while breastfeeding in public, with a view to developing support measures.

Prevalence of urınary ıncontınence ın women who applıed to a famıly health center ın the Van Provınce

Our aim of this study was to determine the incidence of urinary incontinence in women living in a family health center district in the province of Van, the effect of birth rate and type of delivery on urinary incontinence, the awareness level of women in this subject. This is a descriptive-cross-sectional study. The study was conducted by face to face survey method in women gave birth who applied to Family Health Center no.1 in Ipekyolu District. 227 women who agreed to participate in the study were included in the study. The mean number of pregnancies was 4.13 ± 0.71, 83 of the women (36.6%) stated that they had incontinent. 31 (37.3%) reported compression type, 25 (30.1%) stress type and 27 (32.6%) mixed type incontinence, 170 (74.9%) of the women see urinary incontinence as a health problem. The high number of children significantly increases urinary incontinence. Urinary incontinence is significantly higher in patients with diabetes mellitus. Women who have had their birth at home have higher urinary incontinence incidence than the women who have had all their births at hospital. Receiving education for 8 years and below increases to see urinary incontinence as a health problem. It is important in terms of women's health to educate women on reproductive health, to make full use of family planning services and to take all necessary measures to make all deliveries in hospital.

Pre-labour Rupture of Membranes at Term in Women With Gestational Diabetes and the Risk of Neonatal Hypoglycemia

ObjectivesThe management for improving maternal and neonatal outcomes of women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) arriving at the delivery ward with pre-labour rupture of membranes (PROM) has not been elucidated. We tested the hypothesis that prolonged PROM in women with GDM would result in higher rates of neonatal hypoglycemia. MethodsWe retrospectively enrolled women with diet or insulin-controlled GDM who presented with spontaneous clear PROM. Each woman was allocated into one of two groups based on the PROM-delivery time: <18 hours (group 1) and ≥18 hours (group 2). The primary outcome was the incidence of neonatal hypoglycemia, defined as glucose <40 mg/dL (2.2 mmol/L) within 24 hours of birth. ResultsWe ultimately analyzed 631 cases of GDM (6.7%), 371 with PROM-delivery <18 hours, and 260 with PROM-delivery ≥18 hours. The incidence of neonatal hypoglycemia did not differ between the two groups, reaching 7.3%. Women in group 2 were at increased risk of both cesarean delivery (20% vs. 12.4%, P < 0.01) and maternal chorioamnionitis morbidity (6.5% vs. 1.3%, P < 0.001). ConclusionsIn a sub-group of women with GDM, a PROM-delivery time ≥18 hours is not associated with higher rates of neonatal hypoglycemia, but higher rates of chorioamnionitis and cesarean delivery were noted. Therefore, we suggest consideration for early delivery when managing women with GDM and PROM.

Representations of Islam and Muslims in Media Addressed by Corpus-Based Approaches: Systematic Literature Review

In the last decade, the synergy of corpus linguistics (CL) methods within critical discourse analysis (CDA) has gained increasing popularity. This study aims to review and analyse studies related to different representations of Islam and Muslims in mainstream and alternative media addressed by corpus methodologies. It seeks to identify cross-cutting themes, similarities and differences and offer a synthesis of the literature findings to map the research topics that covered Islam and Muslims in media. Research papers are systematically searched in Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, IEEE Xplore, and Science Direct from 2000 to July 2021. A total of 8 articles are selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. All these articles are incorporated coherently to answer four predetermined research questions. This systematic literature review results show that the studies focus to a great extent only on Islam as a religion only and Muslim women, not on other topics, that are discriminatorily portrayed in the western media. In terms of women’s representations, they are depicted as either passive victims or active fighters. Whereas Islam is represented relatively negatively as an ideology, not a religion, and they use the reduction and confirmation hypothesis by selecting news articles to justify a predetermined idea. &#x0D; Keywords: Corpus linguistics, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), Corpora, Islam and Muslims, newspaper discourse, media representation.

Board Gender Diversity and Banks Profitability for Business Viability: Evidence from Serbia

As an important topic in the field of corporate governance, the influence of the board of directors’ characteristics on the profitability of corporations is examined here. This paper examines the influence of the board of directors’ and chief executive officers’ (CEO) characteristics on the profitability of banks in Serbia. In this study, the characteristics of boards of directors were examined in terms of size and the participation of women, and the characteristics of CEOs were examined similarly in terms of women’s participation. The research was conducted on a sample of 23 commercial banks from Serbia in the period from 2017 to 2021. Profitability was measured by the rate of return on operating assets (ROA) and the rate of return on equity (ROE). The results of the panel regression analysis indicate that the size of the board of directors had a positive impact on bank profitability during the COVID-19 pandemic period, while this impact was not statistically significant before the pandemic. The participation of women on the board of directors did not have a statistically significant impact on bank profitability before or during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been found that the participation of women as CEOs had a negative impact on bank profitability before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Social Media and Violence Against Women in Terms of Human Rights Perspective (HAM)

‘Start not, gentle reader!’: Re-reading Alicia LeFanu’s &lt;em&gt;Helen Monteagle &lt;/em&gt;(1818)&amp;nbsp;

This article is the first to focus upon Helen Monteagle (1818), a novel written by Alicia LeFanu and the second of six works of fiction she is known to have published between 1816 and 1826. In part an act of recovery, the article explores Helen Monteagle’s significance to understandings of the development of prose fiction in the romantic period, and situates the novel in relation to the traditions and innovations of satirical writing in particular. Tracing the various acts of conformity and resistance displayed by its female protagonists, the article identifies in the novel a corresponding interest in the terms of women’s professional practice as performers and authors in a year which also saw publication of Shelley’s Frankenstein and Austen’s Northanger Abbey. LeFanu’s novel, the article argues, reflects upon the author/creator and her audience, and articulates a commentary upon the adequacy of conventional narrative frameworks in the context of market competition and anxieties about the integrity of contemporary literary culture. The novel’s innovative and allusive approach to plot and character are examined in relation to LeFanu’s third novel of 1819, entitled Leolin Abbey. In its discussion of the various personal, professional and commercial imperatives which informed LeFanu’s career as a writer, the article reflects upon the broader context of women’s writing in this period and aims to enhance an appreciation of its diversity.

The impact of digital finance on women's bargaining power: Evidence from China

This paper explores the effect of digital finance adoption on women's bargaining power within the family. Empirical analysis finds that higher digital finance adoption significantly improves women's bargaining power and thus alleviates intra-household inequality. We explain the underlying mechanism in terms of women's participation in both labor and financial market. The subsample regression results show that the impact differs among families with distinct characteristics in terms of regions, family living patterns and women's fertility status. This paper provides a new perspective for understanding the inclusive contribution of digital finance and forms a timely complement to the literature in related fields.

The Impact of Peacekeeping Missions on Women’s Empowerment

What effect do peacekeeping operations (PKOs) have on women’s empowerment? The gendered consequences of peacekeeping have long been an issue of contention. Stung by multiple cases of peacekeepers directly engaging in sexual exploitation and abuse, the United Nations took measures to mainstream gender equality within PKO goals, ranging from protection from sexual violence to the encouragement of female participation in peacebuilding processes. Yet while a growing body of research has begun to provide insights into the gendered aspects of the PKOs themselves, much less is known about the broader gendered impact of PKOs on the host countries. To better understand these effects, we examine the extent to which PKOs serve to advance female empowerment in terms of women’s participation in official political channels as well as women’s civil liberties and active involvement in civil society participation. Examining these linkages from 1970–2013, we find that multidimensional PKOs are conducive to growing levels of women’s empowerment, though such growth decreases considerably after the conclusion of the PKO.
