The article presents the social characteristics of minor pregnant women who gave birth in SPbSBI “Maternity Hospital N 10”, where there is the city Center for management of pregnancy and childbirth in minors “Little Mother”. According to our data, the most important social aspects of pregnancy among minors were earlier onset of sexual activity (14,5 ± 1,5 years), low educational level and social status, single-parent families and personal disorder. Late registration in the regional policlinic promotes late antenatal detection and impossibility of the prevention of pregnancy complications. The obtained results are generally consistent with those of other authors, also pointing to the low social and economic level of life and accident of early pregnancies in minors female.

Historical settlements, which are integral parts of the cultural heritage, should be documented and evaluated with their local characteristics. The aim of this study is to document, analyze and evaluate the architectural, environmental and social characteristics of an urban settlement called Değirmendağı District, which has a historical background beginning with the Roman period to the present, in the center of metropolitan city of İzmir, on the Aegean coast of Turkey. The settlement is one of the earliest that was planned by local administration in İzmir and contributes to the İzmir silhouette with its location on a steep hillside in the township of Konak. Documentation methods used are sketches, photography and architectural and social questionnaires. Inventory cards were prepared to collect architectural characteristics of each building and the social questionnaires were comprised of socio–economic characteristics of the settlers. Data gathered at the site was analyzed and evaluated to develop a conservation approach, including historical review of the ancient era. Since the area is easily accessible and close to city center, the area becomes attractive. It has the advantage of the vista based on its inclined topography and grid-planned scheme. Değirmendağı District is a special area requiring special conservation within the city of İzmir. However, historical pattern has changed through the years because of changing lifestyle. The area, which is one of the most important and valuable districts in İzmir considering its history, location, and architectural characteristics should be integrated with the city and citizens. This study documents the present potentials and values of the area and forms a basis to prepare conservation approaches.

The puerperium is the time when the local and systemic changes caused by pregnancy and childbirth in women return to pre-pregnancy state. Despite the increasing demand on physiotherapy in women's health, the literature on the subject is still scarce. Thus, it is important and necessary to identify the profile of women in the postpartum period in order to qualify and direct methodsof intervention. The objective of this study was to describe the profile of mothers in order to gain a more detailed social and obstetric characteristics. We evaluated 123 women with a mean age of 25 years and have collected personal data, social and obstetrical the participants. With regard to social data, the majority (52%) were white, married (56.9%) had completed high school (62.6%) and did not perform gainful occupation (52.8%). The obstetric data revealed that 75.6% were undergoing cesarean section, 91% were aged between 37 and 41 gestational weeks, 58.6% had at least 07 prenatal visits, 50.4% were primiparous, 9.8% had suffered a miscarriage and 95.1% were breastfeeding.

This article is part of the special cluster titled Bukovina and Bukovinians after the Second World War: (Re)shaping and (re)thinking a region after genocide and ‘ethnic unmixing’, guest edited by Gaëlle Fisher and Maren Röger. This article explores ways in which Habsburg nostalgia has become an important factor in contemporary place-making strategies in the city of Chernivtsi, Western Ukraine. Through the analysis of diasporic homecomings, city center revitalization, and nationalist rhetoric surrounding the politics of monuments, I explore hybrid and diverse ways in which Habsburg nostalgia operates in a given setting. Rather than a static and homogenous form of place attachment, in Chernivtsi different cultural practices associated with Habsburg nostalgia coexist with each other and depending on the political context as well as the social position of the “nostalgic agents” manifest themselves differently. Drawing from my long-term ethnographic fieldwork, I argue that in order to fully understand individuals’ attachment to space, it is necessary to grasp both the subtle emotional ways in which the city is experienced by individuals as well as problematize the role of the built environment in the visualization of collective memory and emotions of particular groups. The focus on changing manifestations of the Habsburg nostalgia can bring then a better understanding of the range and scope of the city’s symbolic resources that might be mobilized for various purposes.

Purpose This study aims to increase the understanding of the pregnancy-related information behavior (IB) of pregnant women in Estonia. Design/methodology/approach The research involved a quantitative research methodology consisting of a semi-structured questionnaire. Data was collected from pregnant Estonian women through a self-administered Web-based questionnaire using a convenience sampling during the period from January to February 2019. A total of 300 pregnant women answered the questionnaire. The data were analysed using statistical analysis and the results of the study were compared with the results of previous studies. Findings The three topics on which information was most frequently sought were: fetal development, use of medicines during pregnancy and symptoms of pregnancy. The main sources of information were the internet and the midwife. The most reliable and valuable source of information was a midwife. Health-related information was sought mainly because it helped women make decisions related to pregnancy and childbirth. A number of factors facilitate the information seeking process. In addition, widespread access to the internet and technological skills facilitated IB. The following factors hindered the search for information: the controversy and/or ambiguity of information published on the internet and the time spent searching for information. Most women used wearable technologies during pregnancy. Research limitations/implications This study has several limitations. First, the weakness of online surveys is the potential lack of representativeness, as it excludes from the survey those who do not have access to or ability to use the internet for various reasons (Evans and Mathur, 2005; Limbu et al., 2021). Second, as most recruitment for the study took place online, there was a risk that those who did not use the internet could be excluded from the survey. Third, as the questionnaire was also shared in the Facebook news feed by the Women’s Clinic and Maternity Hospital of the East Tallinn Central Hospital, it may be that the respondents recruited through it more often used the support provided by medical professionals. Fourth, due to the volume limits of the study, it is not possible to present all the results of the study on the basis of socio-demographic characteristics and stage of pregnancy. Therefore, the findings cannot be generalized to the broader population and future studies should explore a larger and more representative populations. Practical implications This study will give some useful information to help to improve the services offered for pregnant women in Estonia. Social implications The findings of this study may inform how to better support this target group. Originality/value There is a lack of research in Estonia that focuses on the IB of pregnant women and this research fills this gap.

Out of Tlatelolco’s Ruins: Patronage, Devotion, and Natural Disaster at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Angels, 1745–1781

Abstract Colonial inhabitants of Mexico City were accustomed to coping with natural disasters, including disease epidemics, droughts, floods, and earthquakes, which menaced rich and poor alike and stirred fervent devotion to miraculous images and their shrines. This article revisits the late colonial history of the shrine of Our Lady of the Angels, an image preserved miraculously on an adobe wall in the Indian quarter of Santiago Tlatelolco. The assumption has been that archiepiscopal authorities aiming to deflect public worship toward a more austere, interior spirituality suppressed activities there after 1745 because they saw the devotion as excessively Indian and Baroque. The shrine has served as a barometer of eighteenth-century Bourbon reforms even though its story has not been fully told. This article explores the politics of patronage in the years after the shrine’s closure and in the decades prior to the arrival on the scene of a new Spanish patron in 1776, revealing that Indian caretakers kept the faith well beyond the official intervention, with some help from well-placed Spanish devotees and officials. The efforts of the new patron, a Spanish tailor from the city center, to renovate the building and image and secure the necessary permissions and privileges helped transform the site into one of the most famous in the capital. Attention to earlier patterns of patronage and to the social response to a series of tremors that coincided with his promotional efforts helps to explain why a devotion so carefully managed for enlightened audiences was nevertheless cut from old cloth.

This study is to diagnose and evaluate children with different special needs medically and educationally, and as a result of those evaluations, to identify families’ expectations, opinions and suggestions concerning the special education process, services and the functioning of special education institutions. The mothers of 5 children who attended special education centers located in the city center of Nicosia in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, were included. The data of the study was gathered through semi-structured interviews and the study has been designed with the research method qualitatively. The opinions of mothers were gathered under 5 main themes. The study results show that children who were diagnosed/evaluated at an early stage were integrated into education earlier and benefit more from special education institutions compared to other children. Furthermore, another conclusion of the study is that mothers’ anxiety and stress decreases as the social support they receive increases.

Acute Respiratory Viral Disease SARS - CoV2 - 19 is a new poorly understood disease with an unpredictable course. This article is devoted to the analysis of coronavirus disease and its impact on the condition of newborns.The objective: to identify and investigate the relationship between the detected and revealed SARS-CoV-2 disease and the course of pregnancy and childbirth, dependence on the term in which the diagnosis was established and the consequences of the disease on the course of pregnancy, childbirth and the condition of newborns; to investigate the frequency of detected complications during pregnancy and the peculiarities of the course of pregnancy with combined pathology.Materials and methods. We analyzed 57 stories of pregnancy and childbirth of women who were admitted to the Uzhgorod City Maternity Hospital in the period from May 2020 to January 2021 with a positive result of the SARS-CoV-2 PLR study.Results. Of 57 patients, pregnancy is ongoing in 18 women, and in 39 it has already ended. Of these, 17 (29.8%) women had vaginal physiological childbirth, 21 (36.8%) women had pathological course of labor, of which 16 (28%) patients underwent cesarean section. In general, 34 pregnant women (59.6%) were asymptomatic. A mild course of the disease was in 20 pregnant women (35%), and a severe course was in three patients (5.2%). As a result of 39 births, 41 children were born (two biochorial twins). Of these, 38 children were born alive (92.7%), stillborn - 4 (5.3%). 31 children were born on time (81.6%). The physiological course of the early neonatal period was observed in all full-term newborns. Perinatal loss was observed in three women at 23, 25 and 28 weeks.Conclusions. In children born of mothers with COVID-19, there was no increase in the frequency of the pathological course of the early neonatal period or detected signs of acute respiratory viral infection. It was also found that there is no clear correlation between the severity of the course of coronavirus infection and complications in pregnant women. So, with a relatively easy mile, even an asymptomatic course, threatening complications were observed, since premature detachment of a normally located placenta was evident, but there was no clear correlation between coronavirus, while with a moderate course of pregnancy, we observed a fairly good result of delivery. The sample of patients is very small and does not allow us to draw definitive conclusions about the effect of coronavirus on pregnancy and fetal health. But these data give us the basis for the next studies on the influence of the new SARS-CoV-2 virus on the course of the gestational process, childbirth and the condition of newborns.

In the last decades, the occupation of the pedestrian routes and in general of the public space in the city center of Cali Colombia, have been evidencing diverse phenomena, which to a great extent respond to the accelerated growth of the urban population, where the migrations that have occurred in the interior of the country (fruit of the social conflicts of the last decades), have particularly marked the realities. In Cali, on 10th and 15th streets, near the Government Building, the Palace of Justice and the Municipal Administrative Center - CAM, the public space in general terms has been stressed in a particular way, which has generated conflicts in the surfaces designed for the pedestrians, since they are occupied by vendors in the midst of the informality routines, forcing the pedestrian to use the automobile tracks being a notorious and interesting phenomenon, when observing the factors that produce it and using them as parameters in the design of architectural spaces that contribute to improvement.

During medical monitoring stories of families of 210 women with tuberculosis of various localization and a condition of their newborns during 2006-2013 on the basis of interdistrict maternity hospital N 4 of Krasnoyarsk, profiled on this pathology are analysed. As a result of the analysis of structure of obstetric complications at women with tuberculosis in the territory of Krasnoyarsk Kray it is established: from 210 pregnant women at 76 there were no complications; at 133 pregnant women with FPN clinical manifestations are noted it are 43 cases of a hypoxia of a fruit, 31 cases of SZRP, 14 cases of SZRP with a hypoxia, thus clinical manifestations were accompanied by lack of water and abundance of water at the level of 22 and 4 cases respectively; in the same group the increase in number of complications of pregnancy by a preeklampsiya, anomalies of patrimonial activity, premature birth at the level of 51, 16 and 28 cases respectively is looked through. From only 133 pregnant women with placentary insufficiency 11 cases of childbirth without clinical manifestations of FPN are noted. The revealed number of clinical manifestations of placentary insufficiency and other complications of pregnancy says that at pregnant women with a disease of tuberculosis these indicators many times is more, than at pregnant women without disease of tuberculosis. The established structure of obstetric complications at pregnant women with tuberculosis of various localization highlighted prevalence of FPN proceeding with heavy clinical manifestations, such as SZRP, the fruit hypoxia, and also revealed most often meeting complications of pregnancy, such as a preeklampsiya, abnormal patrimonial activity, premature birth. It is the indication for development of effective measures of prevention and treatment of these complications, their forecasting from early terms of pregnancy for improvement of perinatal outcomes.

The non-fatal deliberate taking of overdoses in Cork city during 1982 was investigated from records in the general hospitals. In one of the hospitals, those attending after an overdose were personally interviewed. For both sexes, the greatest incidence of overdoses was in the younger groups; for females, there was a seasonal variation. Those taking overdoses were grouped by electoral wards, and the social characteristics of these wards determined. The frequency varied greatly throughout the city; some wards, particularly in corporation northern estates and part of the city centre, showed a rate of up to three times the average; these areas were the most likely to show social deprivation.
