Background: Endometriosis is a prevalent chronic gynecological condition characterized by severe pelvic pain, negatively affecting women's health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The Common-Sense Model of Illness Self-regulation has revealed the importance of illness perceptions and coping strategies in explaining the impact of illness on HRQOL across several conditions. These aspects have never been assessed in endometriosis.

Multiple instances of rebranding of corporations or sports teams, or changes of personal names suggest that imposed change of symbols that people identify with leads to resistance towards the symbol change. In this paper, we examine the predictive role of sacred values, identity fusion, identification and essentialism in explaining such resistance, in a unique political context of a national referendum to change Macedonia to North Macedonia. Participants (ethnic Macedonians, N = 301) took a survey measuring these variables, along with their voting intentions and behaviour, 1 week prior to a national referendum on the name change, and again several weeks later.

Despite growing evidence that women with bipolar disorder (BD) diagnoses are at a particularly increased risk for perinatal mental and physical health complications, our understanding of their experiences and support needs from pre-conception to early postnatal years is still in its early stages. To address this gap, a qualitative study was carried out employing a constructivist grounded theory approach to identify the underlying processes shaping women's journeys to motherhood in the context of BD. In-depth, semi-structured online interviews were conducted with 10 mothers worldwide with a pre-existing diagnosis of BD and a first child under 5 years of age.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether desert ants (Cataglyphis) use cognitive maps to navigate, particularly through finding shortcuts between familiar locations.
- When ants were trained to visit two separate feeders, they were able to travel the novel route based on path integration, suggesting they rely on an internal navigation system rather than complex maps.
- The research highlights the importance of path integration in the ants' navigation strategy, proposing that they optimally combine goal-oriented vectors and current information without needing a detailed "vector map" of their environment.
