Introduction Divorce is a phenomenon that is increasing rapidly in today's societies and has economic, social and psychological effects on many divorced men and women. On the other hand, a stable and satisfactory marriage is effective in providing many positive features for family members, including positive mental health and physical health. It also improves the growth and health of family members. Material and Method In this research, the researcher used qualitative. For this purpose, the recognition of the components of sustainable life from the approach of the foundation has been discussed. By conducting seven interviews, the researcher reached theoretical saturation and finally extracted 76 open codes and based on the literature of the theory, conducted central and selective coding and presented the results in the form of a training package. The tool for collecting the required data was through in-depth interviews, based on life experience with couples who have experienced divorce. Results The researcher obtained 76 open codes, 37 personality codes and 12 subcategories from the qualitative analysis of the interviews. Conclusion Considering such various factors that can be effective in a stable life, it seems that there are specific and common factors that can play a role in the stable life of couples, on the basis of compiling a training package that is based on these common factors and based on experiences the married couple has experience of divorce.

Aim and Background: The educational intervention program for spouses refers to another intervention that prevents people and their relationships from the common vices of married life by reducing the number of destructive relationships and strengthening constructive behaviors. Educational interventions are usually aimed at protecting spouses from risk factors, such as destructive relationship patterns and irrational beliefs, and building supportive relationship factors, such as positive attitudes and marital intimacy. Methods and Materials: In this research, the researcher has used a quantitative method. For this purpose, 20 couples were selected to implement the protocol. The research method at this stage will be a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The selected subjects in both experimental and control groups were measured by pre-test. The required data collection tool was through a questionnaire and the results were analyzed by the variance of repeated measurements. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test was used to test the normality of the distribution of scores related to several studies, and pairwise comparisons were also tested using the Bonferroni test. Findings: The researcher investigated her research in the form of three hypotheses, and the results showed that the educational package has a positive and significant effect on emotional intimacy, marital compatibility, and reducing marital conflicts and the results were smaller than 0.005. Conclusions: The hypotheses of the research were confirmed and it can be said that the educational package of sustainable life based on the lived experience of couples with experience of divorce is effective on emotional intimacy and this effect has been lasting. Also, the results showed that the training package increased marital compatibility in the experimental group compared to the control group and also decreased marital conflicts.

Air pollution, climate change, and chemical exposure constitute the world's most significant environmental health concern, resulting in the early deaths of 6. 5 million people annually. Reducing child mortality from preventable causes, primarily pneumonia and other respiratory illnesses, would have contributed to the united nation's sustainable development goals (SDG). Some significant goals are sustainable cities, industry innovation, green and resilient infrastructure, good health, and well-being. Non-ventilator hospital-acquired pneumonia (NV-HAP) is a severe but preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. Despite being the most frequent and fatal hospital-acquired infection (HAI), NV-HAP is not tracked, documented, or avoided in most hospitals. The success of NV-HAP prevention and monitoring initiatives relies on reliable, up-to-date surveillance data. Surveillance offers the information needed to target, analyze, and quantify the efficacy of preventative activities by identifying patients at the highest risk for NV-HAP. However, pneumonia monitoring is complex due to the clinical criteria's subjective, imprecise, inconsistently recorded, and labor-intensive nature. Non-ventilator hospital-acquired pneumonia must be monitored and standardized, which demands cutting-edge technologies and the deployment of advanced sensors. In the framework of this research, initially, a wireless body area networks (WBANs) architecture has built by making use of wearable biosensors, and then real-time sensor data were uploaded to a cloud platform. Researchers have devised a wireless sensor network (WSN) to track volatile organic compounds (VOC) and other atmospheric characteristics in real time to curb the spread of NV-HAP. The ESP32 Internet of Things (IoT) and Raspberry Pi 4B graphical processing unit platforms host the finalized WBAN and WSN network. To reduce the mortality rate of NV-HAP, this research aims to investigate clinics' and hospitals' indoor and outdoor air quality. The developed biosensor-assisted IoT enabled framework is used in hospitals to keep tabs on the conditions of individual patient rooms, treatment areas, and critical care units in real time. The research found the suggested technique achieves better results than existing state-of-the-art methods regarding computing cost, communication overhead, storage cost, and energy utilization.

Unconscious consumption of our sources together with increasing human population and industrialization at the present time has increased the pressure of people on nature. Deterioration of natural balance and consequently emerging environmental problems entail people to re-take up life styles and consumption habits and make controlling regulations towards environment. In this context, ecological footprint is an environmental educational tool which is quite influent for providing individuals with sustainable consumer identity by demonstrating the level of pressure of people on nature. Based on such information, the purpose of the study is to investigate the determination of consciousness levels of Libyan university students on ecological footprint and sustainable life. The universe of the study consists of university students studying in Libya in 2016-2017 academic year. The research exemplary consists of 246 female, 254 male, totally 500 students studying in the same academic year. The data of research was collected from the students studying in 2015-2016 academic year in Libyan universities, when they were suitable. The researcher was present with the university students while filling data collection tools and made any clarification that would be necessary. The data was analysed by using SPSS-20 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) package program. In analysing the data and investigating the statistics T test, Anova, Tukey test, Frequency test, Descriptive test techniques were used. Based on the results obtained from the research, it was found that consciousness levels of Libyan university students on ecological footprint and sustainable life is at intermediate level.

Bu çalışma, tüketicilerin çevreye ilişkin eğilimlerinin, sürdürülebilir yaşam anlayışına uygunluğunun irdelenmesini konu almaktadır. Bu çerçevede, mevcut bir kamuoyu araştırmasının sonuçlarından yola çıkılarak, tüketicilerin çevreye ilişkin eğilimlerinin, sürdürülebilir yaşamın “doğaya uygunluk”, “verimlilik” ve “tutumluluk” şeklinde kavramsallaştırılan her bir boyutuna ne ölçüde elverişli olduğuna açıklık getirmeye çalışılmıştır. Yapılan değerlendirmeler sonucunda, “çevresel dünya görüşü” ve “çevresel kaygı” şeklinde kavramlaştırılan tüketicilerin belirlenen çevresel eğilimlerinin, sürdürülebilir yaşamın doğaya uygunluk, verimlilik ve tutumluluk ilkeleriyle önemli ölçüde örtüştüğü söylenebilir. Ancak, katılım, tepki gösterme, özveride bulunma ve sorumluluk alma gibi reflekslerde yaygın bir çekincenin yaşanması nedeniyle, tüketicilerde “çevresel taahhüt”’ün gereklerinin yerine getirilmesine ilişkin henüz yeterli bir iradenin bulunmadığı sonucuna varılabilir

What does the question “when should a person die?” actually mean? How the verb ‘should’ ought to be understood in this context? In this presentation I start by focusing on the term ‘should’. I argue that the verb ‘should’ can be understood as signifying necessity (logical or natural) or obligation. Based on this primary analysis, I go on to propose four different answers to the question “when should a person die?”: 1) When his/her time has come; 2) when he/she does not wish to live anymore; 3) when his/her life is not worth living; and, 4) when the body cannot sustain life anymore.

Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (WCED 1987). According to this definition, "water", indispensable element of life, must be protected in order to ensure the continuity of life. There are many methods for water treatment. However, only some of these methods can perform the purification process without harming the environment which called natural treatment systems. Furthermore, one of these natural systems is artificial wetlands. There are lots of advantages of artificial wetlands such as requiring less labor, being more economical and being compatible with nature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this study is to investigate effect of ecological footprint education, in which 5E learning cycle model is used, in reducing primary school students' ecological footprints. The working group of the study is composed of 124 primary school students studying in 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th classes. In this study, 5E learning model is used in teaching a course in order to increase the participating students' knowledge about ecological footprints and to calculate ecological footprints. Experimental method is used in this study. In data analysis, the paired samples t-test is used in for relevant samplings. The findings gathered indicate that ecological footprints of the participating students to the study decreased at the end of the study. It is determined that the mean of primary students' ecological footprints differ from meaningfully according to level of the class and sex. Prospective solution offers are developed by handling the prospective effects of conclusions of the study on sustainable life and environmental education and conclusions' importance in terms of learning and developing learning programmes with a critical point of view.

To ensure that adolescents continue to lead healthy, well-adjusted lives—"sustainable lives"—after the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to examine the latter's impact on various aspects of their lives compared to the socio-cultural context before the outbreak. This study used national representative data on Korean adolescents to analyze the impact of the pandemic on adolescent life from various perspectives, with a focus on gender differences. Our findings confirm that during the pandemic physical activity and sitting time for study purposes decreased, while sleeping and sitting for purposes other than studying increased, with more pronounced changes among girls. Drinking and smoking decreased and boys experienced greater decreases. The findings also indicated that the pandemic generated positive outcomes for mental health: stress, sadness/despair, and suicidal ideation decreased, which was counterintuitive to our general expectations, with a greater impact seen among girls.
