Motivation is an important phenomenon in the realm of education, particularly in the university fields connected with physical education and sport, where it is necessary to accommodate and balance intellectual abilities and physical fitness. The present study tested motivation levels among university students in the fields connected with physical education and sport in Poland and Turkey. It was based on the Self-Determination Theory (Deci and Ryan, 1985), namely intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation and amotivation which impact human behaviour. The Academic Motivation Scale was used (Vallerand et al., 1992). The aims of the study were twofold, first, to crossculturally validate Polish and Turkish versions of the Academic Motivation Scale and second, to identify and compare the motivation to study depending on nationality and gender. Both Polish and Turkish versions of the questionnaire were validated and converted to a four-factorial structure. The findings indicated that Polish and Turkish students' motivation especially differed in amotivation and intrinsic motivation to know and experience stimulation. Moreover, Turkish female students proved to be at the lowest estimate of amotivation.

Introduction: The Big Five Inventory (BFI) is a popular measure that evaluates personality on the Big-Five model. Apart from its utilization across cultures, the literature did not reveal any meta-analysis for the reliability of the different versions of the BFI and its translations. The current study carried out a reliability generalization meta-analysis (REGEMA) to establish the reliability of the BFI across cultures and languages.

Introduction: Children referred for comprehensive dental care under general anesthesia, due to severe early childhood caries, have a high risk of continued caries progression in posttreatment years.
Objectives: To assess the effect of a phone-delivered, motivational interviewing-based parental support program on caries recurrence and oral health habits in preschool children treated under general anesthesia for severe early childhood caries.
Methods: The prospective design of this 2-arm randomized clinical trial (allocation ratio 1:1; blinded outcome assessment) comprised 151 patients from pediatric dental departments in the Stockholm region of Sweden.

Article Synopsis
- Mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) endometrial cancer is associated with poor outcomes and limited treatment options, particularly for high-risk patients after surgery.
- In a phase III clinical trial, patients with dMMR tumors were treated with pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy, showing improved disease-free survival (DFS) rates compared to those who received placebo.
- The interim analysis revealed a significant DFS benefit for pembrolizumab, with a two-year DFS rate of 92.4% versus 80.2% for the placebo group, indicating its potential effectiveness in high-risk dMMR endometrial cancer.

Background: Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy provides clinically meaningful benefit as first-line therapy for advanced (locoregional extension and residual disease after surgery)/metastatic/recurrent mismatch repair-proficient (pMMR) and mismatch repair-deficient (dMMR) endometrial cancer, with greater magnitude of benefit in the dMMR phenotype. We evaluated the addition of pembrolizumab to adjuvant chemotherapy (with/without radiation therapy) among patients with newly diagnosed, high-risk endometrial cancer without any residual macroscopic disease following curative-intent surgery.
Methods: We included patients with histologically confirmed high-risk [International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage I/II of non-endometrioid histology or endometrioid histology with p53/TP53 abnormality, or stage III/IVA of any histology] endometrial cancer following surgery with curative intent and no evidence of disease postoperatively, with no prior radiotherapy or systemic therapy.
