Opis: Research Questions (RQ):What factors do men and women think influence the quality of their reproductive health? What differences exist between men and women in their perception of their own reproductive health? How do stigmas and taboos affect reproductive health?Purpose:The purpose of this research wasto examine the perspectives of men and women in the process of reproductive health care.Method:Qualitative method was used.Data was collectedfrom a purposive sample throughfourfocus groups. The data was analyzed using content analysis.Results:Results: three themes were identified through the qualitative analysis method: (1) reproductive health of men and women, (2) socio-cultural aspects of reproductive health, and (3) challenges of reproductive health. At the same time, 13 sub-themes were identified. The study showed that primary socialization has a significant impact on an individual's attitudes towards reproductive health in adulthood. It was found that women are more concerned about reproductive health than men. It was also found that stigmas and taboos, which prevent open discussion about reproductive health, have a major impact on the quality of reproductive health. This leads to lack of information, fear, discrimination and inequalities in access to healthservices.Organization:The research highlights the need for more education and emphasis on preventive care and reducing social exclusion and stigma related to reproductive health.Society:The results of the research contribute to a better understanding of men's and women's perceptions of reproductive health and how they think it is influenced by society. In this context, it also provides a better understanding of how stigmas and taboos affect reproductive health and how to seek help when reproductive health problems arise.Originality:The research provides insights into the specific nature of men's and women's reproductive health and how society views it. The originality of the research is that it offers a broad insight into how men and women understand reproductive health. It also provides an outline of the current state of reproductive health in society.Limitations/Future Research: The answers obtained from the participantsare subjective in nature and are subject to interpretation by the researchers. It would be useful to conduct quantitative type of studies in the future. Also, one of the limitations is related to the research sample, which includes a set of participantsfrom two Slovenian regions. In the future, it would be necessary to include participantsfrom the whole of Slovenia so that the results can be generalizedto the whole population.

Opis: Background. Radiotherapy is a cornerstone of treatment for various cancers, but often causes collateral damage to surrounding healthy tissue, including skeletal muscle. Ionizing radiation leads to oxidative stress and inflammation, which impairs the regenerative capacity of muscle tissue. Irradiation reduces the number and functionality of satellite cells and disrupts the tightly regulated processes of myogenesis and tissue remodelling. In addition, irradiation alters the muscle microenvironment by promoting fibrosis and vascular damage, which further impedes effective regenera-tion. Cytokine signalling pathways are also dysregulated following irradiation, contributing to impaired activation and differentiation of satellite cells. Conclusions. There is evidence that factors such as melatonin and growth factors can improve muscle regenera-tion. Understanding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the impairment of muscle regeneration after radiotherapy is crucial for the development of targeted strategies to mitigate side effects and improve patients’ qual-ity of life. Overall, the preservation and restoration of muscle function in irradiated tissue remains a critical challenge that requires multidisciplinary approaches

Opis: This study investigated how the acceleration-speed profile (ASP) of the weaker and stronger side changes at different radii. Twenty male youth soccer players completed 30 m linear and curvilinear sprints (12.15, 11.15, 9.15, 7.15, and 6.15 m radius) in three training sessions. Sprint speed and acceleration over time and distance were recorded using a GNSS device. The maximum theoretical speed (S0), the acceleration (A0), slope of the ASP (ASslope), the area under the ASslope (ASParea), the acceleration at a sprint speed of 3 m/s (A3), and the curvilinear sprint deficit (ASPdeficit) of the individual sprints were analyzed. The effects of side, radius, and their interaction were evaluated with 2 × 5 ANOVA and the post hoc tests. A significant effect of radius and side was observed for all variables (F ≥ 3.50, p ≤ 0.037, η2 ≥ 0.15). The ASParea and S0 decreased at tighter radii. The A3 and A0 remained relatively unchanged, resulting in a steeper ASslope, and a larger ASPdeficit. At the same radius, the weaker side CS had a smaller ASParea, S0, A3, and a larger ASPdeficit. The ASP of the curvilinear sprint in youth soccer players is side-dependent at both ends (acceleration and top speed), while radii mainly affect late acceleration and top speed performance. These observations should be considered when adapting soccer players’ sprint training and monitoring external load based on acceleration.

Opis: The purpose of this literature review was to identify the evidence on the outcomes of digitalisation of schedules in nursing. Data were gathered from CINAHL, Medline, Cochrane Library, PubMed, ScienceDirect, JSTOR and SpringerLink electronic databases. Seventy-four relevant literature items were identified. Ten studies published between 2015 and 2024 were evaluated and critically analysed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist: four systematic literature reviews, three quasi-experimental studies, two case studies, and one qualitative descriptive study. The literature on electronic schedules in nursing reports on a variety of positive and negative impacts on nurses, patients and healthcare organisations. The introduction of electronic schedules in nursing is has mainly positive consequences, because if appropriately implemented, it leads to better patient health outcomes and increased job satisfaction among nurses. However, the developments in the field are ongoing and more research on that topic is needed before a firmer conclusion can be reached.

Opis: Aim/objective: To analyse and synthesise current evidence on educational strategies for teaching evidence-based practice (EBP) to undergraduate nursing students, with a specific focus on non-native English-speaking learner populations. Background: Teaching EBP in non-native English-speaking settings presents distinct challenges, including language proficiency barriers, limited access to research literature and variability in pedagogical approaches. Despite the range of educational strategies introduced in the literature, a universally accepted or recommended method has yet to be established. Design: An integrative literature review was conducted to examine peer-reviewed empirical studies on EBP education published between 2015 and 2025, with a focus on educational strategies. The review was carried out in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Methods: Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria. Methodological quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools. An inductive thematic analysis was employed to synthesise the findings. Results: All reviewed studies employed quantitative methodologies with a pre-post or quasi-experimental design. Thematic analysis identified five key categories in teaching EBP: educational methods, technology integration, clinical focus, collaboration, intervention duration and outcomes. The studies showed that various educational methods demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing nursing students’ EBP competencies, as reflected in improved knowledge, attitudes and skills. Conclusions: Diverse and scaffolded teaching methods enhance EBP competencies in non-native English-speaking nursing students. A longitudinal, multimodal and flexible approach emphasising collaboration, integration and practice orientation with technological support, appears most effective. Internationally informed guidelines are needed to ensure consistent development of core EBP competencies globally.
