Career Women In Achieving Samawa Family In The Post-Truth Era Islamic Legal Perspective

Islamic history records that women have a meaningful role in various metamorphosis of society, customs, commerce and politics in the country. Gender balance is a social issue and is often a contentious topic. People assume that gender dimilarity can cause various forms of inequality, such as the unimportance of roles related to political policies, women are only in the three R's, namely kitchen, well, mattress. Injustice was hated by Allah. Almighty, he had put Adam and Eve in a dignified position. Islamic law provides solutions in solving family problems that occur. However, sometimes, existing laws cannot be understood regarding wisdom and philosophy, resulting in the assumption of Islamic law that is no longer representative in resolving Islamic family civil cases. The problems that occur in the post-truth era of women are often blamed for being career women. Even though there are some women who are able to break through thick walls and are able to have a career outside the home. This career did not prevent her from carrying out her duties, rights and obligations as a wife. But there are so many assumptions that by being a woman, family careers are not taken care of and families are not achieved.

Quality of Life Among Caregivers of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Cross Sectional Study.

Caregivers of children with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience more stress than caregivers of typically developing children but there is limited research evaluating caregivers' quality of life (QoL). This study aimed to describe the association of caregiver QoL in children with ASD and/or ADHD. This study included patients with ADHD and/or ASD seen in one pediatric specialty clinic between September 2018-August 2020. Caregivers were classified as those caring for children with ASD-only, ADHD-only, or youth with both conditions (ADHD + ASD). An adapted version of the PedsQL Family Impact Module was used to measure caregiver QoL. The sample included caregivers of 931 children. The majority of these children were male (74.7%), non-Hispanic white (63.3%), and aged 6 to 12 years (57.8%). Across the groups, significant differences were observed in patient age (p < 0.0001), preferred language (p = 0.005), and insurance (p = 0.001). Caregivers of non-Hispanic Black children had 4-times the odds of reporting feeling isolated from others (OR 4.36, 95% CI 1.19-16.00 p = 0.03). Those caring for children with ADHD-only had significantly lower odds of reporting helplessness or hopelessness (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.26-0.80, p = 0.004), and difficulty talking about their child's health with others (OR 0.30, 95% CI 0.17-0.54, p < 0.0001). Similarly, caregivers of children who had ADHD + ASD reported higher odds of difficulty making decisions together as a family (OR 14.18, 95% CI 1.15-17.91, p=0.04) and difficulty solving family problems together (OR 45.12, 95% CI 2.70-752.87), p = 0.008). Caring for children with ADHD and/or ASD may affect caregiver QoL.

Analyzing Domestic Violence in the Qur’an through Hermeneutics of H.G. Gadamer: Views of Amina Wadud

This study is motivated by interpretation and followed by an understanding of the position of men and women, which discredits one party. This research focuses on the thoughts of the philosopher Amina Wadud, a reformist Muslim thinker, in interpreting the Qur'an with her work Qur'an and Women. The purpose of this study is to discuss domestic violence further. This research is qualitative; the data were obtained from library sources, with the primary source from the Qur'an and Women. Data processing is done by grouping, reduction, and codification. Meanwhile, in data analysis, Hans-Georg Gadamer's Hermeneutical approach is that of intelligence subtility–how to understand (das Verstehen), explicandi subtility–how to explain (dem Auslegen), and applicandi subtility–how to apply (das Anwenden). The research results obtained in this article demonstrate that the interpretation of Amina Wadud does not violate Islamic teachings. Values and forms of deconstruction of understanding are by and refer to the Qur'an. Amina Wadud said that the Qur'an, in substance, never teaches the use of violence to solve family problems, especially in marital relations. The meaning that can be concluded is deliberation in solving issues by placing husband and wife in the same position because all human beings are equal before God.

Social Factors of Preparing Adolescents for Family Life During Globalization

This article highlights that a family is a sacred place that preserves the continuity of every people, and the nation, ensures the development of national values, brings new generations of children into the world, educates them spiritually and physically, and is considered the main foundation of society. The fact that it is a social unit based on biological, economic, legal, and spiritual relations, creating a healthy environment in families in the era of globalization, ensuring family stability, and increasing the social activity of teenagers are highlighted. The article states that such virtues as hard work, loyalty, sincerity, trust, love of country, justice, purity, and correctness typical of Uzbek families are directly inculcated by parents to their children as a personal example. At the same time, teenagers are expected to solve family problems through their hard work, endurance, contentment, intelligence, foresight, sharp judgment, ability to behave in any situation, overcome the difficulties encountered, and family spirituality through their own strength, self-confidence, will, and knowledge. And issues such as being able to absorb their traditions and fully implement them in their lives have also been reflected. Also, independent family life is a responsible and difficult period for teenagers, and it is necessary to go through new social relations, instructions for the future, processes of social adaptation, and to arm them with knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary in childhood.

The shadow fathers: Barriers to whole family approach in social work?

Objective: The paper aims to explore the barriers to father involvement in family social work at the personal, cultural, and structural levels, and their interconnectedness to answer the main research question of how gendered constructions of mothers and fathers in social work affect the involvement of fathers in interventions. Background: This paper contributes to debates about fathers in social work by examining gendered constructions of fathers in social services for families with children in the Czech Republic. The problem is viewed from the perspective of social constructionism, anti-oppressive practice, and the whole family approach. Method: To meet the objective, we used a qualitative research strategy. 44 in-depth interviews with social workers, mothers, and fathers were carried out. After that, three focus groups with 21 social workers were formed. Results: The results show that mothers and fathers are treated differently in social work, and femininity and masculinity are perceived as dichotomous opposites. This hinders fathers' involvement in family services and puts responsibility for solving family problems to mothers. Conclusion: Most of these barriers at the micro- and mezzo-levels are in some way related to system barriers at the macro-level, which are often shaped by gender discourses.

Promoting college and career readiness among underserved adolescents: A mixed methods pilot study

IntroductionMany underserved adolescents, defined as those with inequitable access to educational resources, face limited access to interventions that develop their college and career know-how. In our study, we implemented and evaluated a pilot college and career readiness curriculum intervention called Paths to the Future for All (P2F4A). P2F4A takes a developmental approach to college and career development, weaving together the procedural know-how of college and career planning with a broader focus on building social-emotional skills that support positive trajectories towards the future. We evaluated pre-post changes in adolescents’ career-related and social-emotional outcomes alongside views of their personal growth. MethodsWe used a purposeful sample of five schools in the Western region of the United States and recruited a sample of adolescents (N = 61; Mage = 16.3 years; 57.4% female) who experienced challenging academic and life circumstances to participate in P2F4A. We conducted pre-post surveys as well as focus groups and interviews with adolescents. ResultsWe detected significant (p < .05) pre-post gains in adolescents’ knowledge of P2F4A curricular content and selected coping skills, such as relaxing and solving family problems. Our focus groups and interviews revealed that P2F4A helped adolescents build stronger interpersonal relationships with peers and the content was directly applicable to real life. ConclusionOur new findings suggest that college and career readiness curriculum interventions—if appropriately developed for and targeted to underserved adolescents—have strong potential to build underserved adolescents’ foundational skills that they can apply towards realizing their future college and career aspirations.

Polygamy As a Form of Marriage: Based on Sociological Research

Polygamy as a form of marriage is, as a rule, more common in Arab and Muslim countries than in Russia. The desire of modern Russian men to commit polygamy can be interpreted as a consequence of the improvement in their material condition, which makes possible to support two or more wives and their children, while at the same time not taking into consideration the moral side of the issue that it is necessary to devote the same amount of time to all wives, to solve family problems if necessary, and to raise children. Despite the fact that the Quran says that it is better to take divorced and single mothers as the second and the third wives to support them, modern men are not guided by moral and religious principles, but rather by the desire to have a younger wife. This article presents the results of sociological research, both quantitative and qualitative. As a quantitative study, we conducted a pilot survey of Muslim women in the Republic of Tatarstan, which revealed some trends in the socialization of Muslims in Russian society. Further, a number of qualitative studies were conducted in order to study the Muslim environment in more depth: in-depth interviews with Russian Muslim women, as well as semi-structured interviews with imams of mosques. The results of the research made it possible to create a typology of polygamous families: — a Man with a good financial situation, in some cases having a high status in society, which can allow him to support several wives and their children, creates a marriage with several wives. In this type, family members are not always practicing Muslims, most often they are ethnic Muslims. — Male migrants, more often coming from CIS countries, less often from Arab countries, leave their wives and children, come to work in Russia and create new families. However, for such wives from Russia, there is no guarantee that the husband will not leave for his homeland and will not return. — A man who belongs to non-traditional religious movements, where it is possible without observing the necessary conditions to conduct the nikah rite with a woman from the same ”group” that shares his ”religious” views, including without notification, permission of the first wife. More often, this is a man who does not have the financial ability to support several wives.&#x0D; Keywords: polygamy, polygamous family, Muslim women, Muslim, Islam

Marriage andfamily in the culture of the Russian peasantry of the Western Siberia in the second half of the XIX century

The purpose of the research is to trace the evolution of family and marriage relations of the Russian peasantry of the Tobolsk province, which took place in the second half of the 19th century and was influenced by Russian reforms and modernization. The article analyzes the changes that began during this period in the institutions of family and marriage, and also considers new forms of family and marriage relations that began to appear in the peasant society. The preconditions and reasons for the weakening of the institution of the family, divorces in peasant families have been analyzed, the factors of the formation of new forms of marriage and living in fornication have been considered. The role of the state in solving family problems of the peasantry as a whole during the reform period has been investigated. As a result of the research, it has been shown that as a result of the reforms and the subsequent changes in the life of the peasant population of the Tobolsk province, the influx of migrant peasants from the European part of Russia to the region, the construction of the Trans-Siberian railway and other transformations, the form of marriage and family relations among peasants changed, new types of marriage appeared, number of divorces and unmarried women increased. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the formulation of conclusions about the crisis in the post-reform period of the patriarchal model of the multigenerational family among the Russian peasantry of the Tobolsk province (as in the rest of Russia), the spread of small family forms, the growth in the number of divorces, various models of fornication, etc.
