Introduction: Iranian university students have a positive outlook on marriage; however, certain beliefs may impact their satisfaction with marriage and the quality of their relationships. By examining these beliefs and considering the experiences of married students, valuable information can be gathered to develop policies that protect family rights and support the younger generation.
Aim: This study aimed to explore the beliefs about marriage from the perspectives of married students.
Method: A qualitative study was conducted. University students were selected through purposive sampling at Hamadan University Medical Sciences,…, Iran. Data was collected from October 2022 to January 2023. Semi-structured interviews were held with 24 married students, and the analysis was conducted using conventional content analysis.
Results: In our research, we thoroughly analyzed 51 beliefs about marriage held by students, categorizing them into eight subcategories, including "empathy and simplifying life," "keeping affection alive," "effective and transparent communication," and others. These beliefs were further condensed into three overarching categories: "intimacy and companionship," "establishing a secure environment," and "equity and upholding preexisting convictions."
Conclusion: The research explored the intricate interplay of beliefs shaping university students' beliefs toward marriage. Beliefs surrounding empathy, simplifying life, sustaining affection, and effective and transparent communication contribute to marriage intimacy and compassion. Notably, beliefs concerning security, commitment, and conflict resolution strategies were identified as pivotal for creating a safe marital atmosphere. Furthermore, the presence of beliefs supporting women's autonomy was deemed crucial for fostering equality within marital partnerships, while beliefs endorsing male dominance, religious biases, sexism, and cultural bigotries were found to impact spousal relationships potentially detrimentally.

Diabetes mellitus, once a rare diagnosis in precolonial and early post-colonial Nigeria, now has the highest prevalence and fatality rates in sub-Saharan Africa. This increased prevalence is attributed to rising population affluence characterized by sedentary lifestyles and higher consumption of processed and ultra-processed foods. The burden is further exacerbated by a poorly responsive healthcare system.

Ammonia fertilizer, primarily composed of ammonium chloride, is widely used in pond fish farming throughout Asia. Despite the belief that it possesses antiviral properties, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) has been demonstrated to act as a potent inhibitor of autophagy, which is used by many fish viruses to promote their proliferation during infection.

The human brain has a remarkable ability to learn and update its beliefs about the world. Here, we investigate how thermosensory learning shapes our subjective experience of temperature and the misperception of pain in response to harmless thermal stimuli. Through computational modeling, we demonstrate that the brain uses a probabilistic predictive coding scheme to update beliefs about temperature changes based on their uncertainty.

Searching for land refugia becomes imperative for human survival during the hypothetical sixth mass extinction. Studying past comparable crises can offer insights, but there is no fossil evidence of diverse megafloral ecosystems surviving the largest Phanerozoic biodiversity crisis. Here, we investigated palynomorphs, plant, and tetrapod fossils from the Permian-Triassic South Taodonggou Section in Xinjiang, China.

Objectives: to map evidence available in the literature on breastfeeding counseling in rooming-in.
Methods: a scoping review, following the stages recommended by the JBI to answer the review question: what evidence is available in the literature on breastfeeding counseling during the binomial's hospitalization in rooming-in? Searches were conducted in the PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycInfo and CAPES Dissertation and Theses Catalogue databases, using the descriptors "Counseling", "Breast Feeding", "Rooming-in Care" and "Mother-Child Binomial" and their synonyms, without time or language limitations.
Results: seven studies, published between 1999 and 2020, predominantly in English, were included in the analysis.
