Adolescence is the process that occurs after childhood and before adulthood (15-19) years. Teenage pregnancy is adverse for the mother and her child including low birth weight and high perinatal mortality. Complications between pregnancy and childbirth are the second leading cause of death among girls between the ages of 15 and 19 in the world. Violence against a pregnant woman by her partner is frequent. Adolescent mothers are among the greatest abusers of their children, and abuse can start from fetal life. They are also involved in the death of their newborns. Educational and community empowerment with a family response to educational proposals includes the issue of masculinity and the role of adolescents caring for their children, as well as examining the families' pleasure in the prevention and response to pregnancy.

Preeclampsia is one of the main causes of maternal mortality and leads to 50-60 thousand deaths annually worldwide, its prevalence in the world is 5-8%. Moreover, this complication is associated with an increased risk of the development of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes in the mother and child. Preeclampsia is a multi-systemic syndrome including hereditary and environmental factors in its pathogenesis and pathophysiology, and the only effective method of the treatment is still delivery. Regardless of the time of debut, preeclampsia is often characterized by the relative well-being of a pregnant woman, right up to the development of severe pre-eclampsia. This review is devoted to biochemical markers of the high risk of pre-eclampsia. Of particular interest there is the balance of proangiogenic (PIGF) and anti-angiogenic (sFlt) growth factors at different gestational ages; both the correct interpretation of the sFlt/PIGF balance and the correlation with the history data already allow us to expand the criteria for the prevention of preeclampsia and open up prospects for optimizing obstetric tactics in the third trimester of pregnancy.

Technology plays a fundamental part in teenagers' lives since the majority of them are deemed digital natives having grown using communications, media, and digital technologies. As technology evolves, it becomes more available and more affordable to more young people. There are 104 countries where 80% of youth have internet connection. In Africa and Asia, there are more females online than males. Several educators, academics, and public health practitioners expect technology to be a remedy to all social problems or a cause for all evil in the world due to the ubiquity of technology. This chapter takes a skeptical outlook at technology by demonstrating how technology could be a cause of social problems and also be a part of the solution if used properly. The author attempts to refute the notion of technological determinism. This chapter aims to look at the role of media, communication, and educational technology, and their relationship with teenage pregnancy.

Background and PurposeThe role of older women close to the pregnant woman may be relevant when conveying information. The use of theories/models can guide the development of nursing practice. Purpose: To explore beliefs and practices related to pregnancy and childbirth from the perspective of older women who gave birth at home, applying Leininger's Sunrise Model.MethodsQualitative approach, using semi-structured interviews with 24 older women who gave birth at home (rural area, Spain). Manual content analysis of the data was used, and Sunrise Model guided to explore the role of culture and the factors affecting maternity care.ResultsTwo main categories emerged: beliefs/practices related to physiological aspects (subcategories: minimal intervention, hygiene, pain control, rest, feeding) and to psychosocial aspects (subcategories: spiritual well-being, company).Implications for PracticeThe experiences of older women who gave birth at home helped us to understand some beliefs that survive in some pregnant women, similar in different cultures, and divided into physiological and psychosocial aspects. Older women have a relevant role as transmitters of information, and can provide some keys to plan health interventions, as companions or counselors. Applying the Sunrise Model, we verified the weight that culture has in maternal health care, and the multiple factors that interfere with the way of caring. The application of models helps us to improve nursing practice: not only should we focus on knowing the physical aspects, but also the social and cultural circumstances surrounding the pregnant woman.

One of the most important reasons for such a clearly distressed state of society was the decline of religion as a social force, the external manifestation of which is the weakening of religious institutions. "Religion," Baha'u'llah writes, "is the greatest of all means of establishing order in the world to the universal satisfaction of those who live in it." The weakening of the foundations of religion strengthened the ranks of ignoramuses, gave them impudence and arrogance. "I truly say that everything that belittles the supreme role of religion opens way for the revelry of maliciousness, inevitably leading to anarchy. " In another Tablet, He says: "Religion is a radiant light and an impregnable fortress that ensures the safety and well-being of the peoples of the world, for God-fearing induces man to adhere to the good and to reject all evil." Blink the light of religion, and chaos and distemper will set in, the radiance of justice, justice, tranquility and peace. "
