A Booklet based on Islamic Parenting to Prevent Sexual Violence for Children and The Implications on Counseling

Every stakeholder needs to take action to prevent child sexual abuse because the number of cases of this type in children grows year, raising concerns among parents, families, schools, and communities about the future of their children. To stop sexual assault against children, we created an Islamic parenting guidebook. The goal of this project is to stop child sexual abuse by giving parents access to Islamic parenting guides and other material that will facilitate their Islamic upbringing and education. This will help them steer clear of undesirable things, like child sexual abuse. Parents whose children had been sexually abused were the study's subjects. Development research is the term for this kind of study. Using the ADDIE development models, researchers create booklets (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, evaluation). In order to gather data, three types of instruments are used: booklet validation tools, practical questionnaires, and effectiveness questionnaires. To ascertain the validity and applicability of employing percentage formulae, as well as the effectiveness of using formulas N Gain Score, data gathering procedures employ observation techniques, interviews, and documentation studies. Islamic parenting-based pamphlets are deserving of use since, according to the findings of the validation test conducted by linguists, designers, and material experts, the content is 95.17 percent valid. In terms of practicality, 92.4 percent fell into the category of somewhat practical. The Islamic parenting-based booklet can improve parents' awareness of education and parenting children to avoid sexual assault against children, as evidenced by the criteria's 64.4 percent effectiveness test, which indicates that it is effective.

Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors of Foreign Body in the Rumen and Reticulum of Small Ruminants Slaughtered at Mogadishu, Somalia

Background The majority of the sheep and goats that live in Somalia are among the continent’s largest animal populations. A significant portion of the Somali population relies on them as a means of sustenance and financial support. A small ruminant after eating foreign materials can have ruminal impaction, a condition in which indigestible foreign bodies accumulate in the rumen of ruminants, leading to ruminal impaction indigestion, recurrent tympany, and many other adverse health effects. Study A cross-sectional method was used to conduct this study. In the data gathering procedure, researchers did a sieve on random selection for the study in order to record the data. The data gathered were specifically tailored to the animal’s sex, age, species, body score, and origin. Foreign bodies were examined in the rumen and reticulum during the post-mortem examination of small ruminants at Kawaanbari slaughterhouse. Objectives The main objective of this study was to examine the prevalence of foreign bodies in the rumen and reticulum of small ruminants and identify associated risk factors in Kawaanbari Slaughterhouse, Mogadishu, Somalia. Results The study’s results showed that of the 384 small ruminants examined for foreign bodies, 154 (40.1%) were found to have foreign bodies in their rumen or reticulum. Seventeen (4.4%) had foreign bodies located in the reticulum, while 137 (35.7%) animals were found to have foreign bodies present in the rumen of the 104 sheep examined; 52 (13.5%) had foreign bodies; and of the 280 goats examined, 102 (26.6%) tested positive for foreign bodies. It was found that the body condition score had a statistically significant association (p<0.05) with the presence of foreign bodies. Conclusion In conclusion, the current study found that approximately 40.1% of various types of undigested objects were present in the rumen and reticulum of sheep and goats from different areas in the Benadir and Shabelle regions, which were destined for slaughter at the Kawaanbari Abattoir on the outskirts of Mogadishu. The majority of these foreign bodies were found in animals that were in poor physical condition. Recommendation The study recommends that pastoralists and farmers ensure a consistent availability of feed for ruminants throughout all seasons as a preventive measure against the ingestion of indigestible foreign bodies.

Water-power scenarios to 2033: A mixed model

The balancing of energy and water supply-demand involves a challenging issue. Policymakers at both global and national levels are striving to ensure the security of energy and water supply while supporting economic growth. This study investigates the nexus between water and power and explores potential future directions at global and national perspectives. It considers the case of Iran, as a resource-rich developing economy, to assess real-world influences and potential outcomes. The research proposes an enhanced layered uncertainties scenario synthesizing model to develop and evaluate plausible futures within a 10-year planning horizon (2033). The model employs a novel data-gathering procedure based on experts’ inputs and intuitionistic fuzzy averaging to facilitate reliable judgments in a highly uncertain environment. Findings reveal that, from the global perspective, an energy transition is likely to gain momentum during the next decade, but the water intensity (quantity of water supplied per unit of GDP) is expected to gradually decrease. Providing reliable and secured electricity and water supply, especially for the less developed economies is likely to become an increasingly challenging matter, hindering their potential financial and technological development. The period to 2033 in Iran is expected to be shaped by political issues and international sanctions, making them the most significant future drivers. These factors are likely to have a substantial impact on Iran's decisions regarding energy and water development, as they may affect foreign investment, the cost of money, and water competition diplomacy.
