  • A Cross-Sectional Study on the Practice of Wet Nursing Among Muslim Mothers C
    Norsyamlina et al. BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth (2021) 21:68 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12884-021-03551-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access A cross-sectional study on the practice of wet nursing among Muslim mothers C. A. R. Norsyamlina1* , H. Salasiah Hanin2, A. M. Latifah2, K. Zuliza2, M. H. Nurhidayah3, S. Rafeah3, B. Nora’inan4, I. Muhamad Zariff3 and A. Noor Ani1 Abstract Background: Breastfeeding and wet nursing have been synonymous since ancient times. The practice of wet nursing of another woman’s child in Malaysia is on the rise due to the emergence of awareness among the public about the importance and advantages of breast milk. However, problems arise when there is no systematic system to record and trace the milk mother and milk child data, especially for Muslim participants as milk kinship could affect their relationship status in Islam. Therefore, this study aims to determine the practice of wet nursing among Muslim mothers in Selangor. Simultaneously, this study intends to provide the authorities with an accurate picture of the more aggressive compilation of steps to prevent duplication of consanguinity in wet nursing. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 women who had breastfed another child in Selangor. Data were obtained using a validated questionnaire (Cronbach alpha = 0.8) and processed using the SPSS software. Results: Results showed 43.0% of respondents had at least breastfed one someone else’s child. Meanwhile, there were 3.0% of the respondents were nursing seven to ten other children. A total of 237 children have been breastfed by the respondents (n = 100).

  • Germany 2016 International Religious Freedom Report
    GERMANY 2016 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The Basic Law (the constitution) prohibits religious discrimination and provides for freedom of faith and conscience and the practice of one’s religion. Some state governments continued not to recognize the Church of Scientology (COS) and other religious groups, which made these groups ineligible for tax benefits. The federal and some state offices for the protection of the constitution (OPC) continued to monitor the activities of some groups, including certain Muslim groups and the COS, which the offices said they suspected of furthering extremist goals. Certain states banned or restricted the use of the full-face veil and headscarves for teachers and courtroom officials, and a public pool banned the “burqini.” Senior government leaders condemned anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim sentiment; politicians from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) Party made anti- Islamic and anti-Semitic statements. In June President Joachim Gauck attended an iftar in Berlin, the first time a president of the country had participated in such an event. On December 19, in what authorities labeled a terrorist attack, a man drove a truck into a crowd at a Christmas market in Berlin, killing 12 people and injuring 56. Physical and verbal attacks against those perceived to be Jews, Christians, or Muslims continued. Bombs exploded at a Sikh temple and a mosque. There were reports some Muslim women wearing headscarves faced employment discrimination. The Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant Church in Germany (EKD) continued to oppose the COS publicly and used “sect commissioners” to warn the public of what they characterized as dangers from some religious groups.

  • The Analysis of Islamic Characters in Forming Caring Behavior of Nursing Student
    Available on: http://nursingjurnal.respati.ac.id/index.php/JKRY/index Jurnal Keperawatan Respati Yogyakarta, 8(2), May 2021, 125 – 128 THE ANALYSIS OF ISLAMIC CHARACTERS IN FORMING CARING BEHAVIOR OF NURSING STUDENT Widya Addiarto1*), Ana Fitria Nusantara2 & Ainul Yaqin Salam3 1,2,3 STIKes Hafshawaty Pesantren Zainul Hasan, Probolinggo, Jawa timur Abstract Nurse is health workers who interacts most with clients so that their services become one of the benchmarks for the success of health services in the hospital. The ability to pay attention to others, intellectual, technical and interpersonal skills of nurses are reflected in their caring behavior when providing nursing care. Nurse's caring behavior is closely related to the Islamic character. Islam itself is seen not only as a religion but also as a way of life that guides people in peace and compassion. Muslims believe that the teachings of their religion carry all aspects of life and they seek to keep God at the center of consciousness, intention and action. The research objective was to determine the relationship between Islamic characters and the caring behavior of nursing students. The study used a descriptive analytic cross sectional design and analyzed using the Spearman Rank test with 93 respondents. The results showed that the majority of respondents had good caring behavior, with the conclusion that there was a significant relationship between Islamic characters and student caring behavior. Religion and the environment can be important factors in the formation of Islamic character, which is shown by the nurse's caring behavior towards clients.

    2 ISJ 3(2) About the Cover Kyung Chyun is an illustrator working in Oakland, California. She attended California College of the Arts in San Francisco for BFA in Illustration. Kyung was born and raised in Seoul until the age of twelve when she immigrated to the states. She considers illustration and art to be her American dream as much as that sounds corny. Honors include 2015 New York's Society of Illustrators scholarship. Her portfolio can be found on kyungchyun.com. 3 About the ISJ The Islamophobia Studies Journal is a bi-annual publication that focuses on the critical analysis of Islamophobia and its multiple manifestations in our contemporary moment. ISJ is an interdisciplinary and multi-lingual academic journal that encourages submissions that theorizes the historical, political, economic, and cultural phenomenon of Islamophobia in rela- tion to the construction, representation, and articulation of “Otherness.” The ISJ is an open scholarly exchange, exploring new approaches, methodologies, and contemporary issues. The ISJ encourages submissions that closely interrogate the ideological, discursive, and epistemological frameworks employed in processes of “Otherness”—the complex social, political, economic, gender, sexual, and religious forces that are intimately linked in the historical production of the modern world from the dominance of the colonial/imperial north to the post-colonial south. At the heart of ISJ is an intellectual and collaborative project between scholars, researchers, and community agencies to recast the production of knowledge about Islamophobia away from a dehumanizing and subordinating framework to an eman- cipatory and liberatory one for all peoples in this far-reaching and unfolding domestic and global process.
