Abstract The present study aimed at investigating the relationship between partner’s jealousy and the anxiety level presented by male domestic abusers, comparing these variables with men of similar age, socio-economic status, and educational level, without a history of domestic violence. The sample consisted of 20 male abusers and 20 men without a history of violence towards their partner. A Batterer Semi-Structured Interview on Family of Origin; the Romantic Jealousy Scale; and the Beck Anxiety Inventory were used as instruments. The groups did not differ statistically regarding age, education, and income; however, they were statistically different regarding the variables jealousy and anxiety levels. Abusers presented higher scores on jealousy and anxiety than non-abusers It is suggested that jealousy combined with anxiety may contribute to intimate partner violence. Future studies could further investigate this possibility using larger samples.

Violence During Pregnancy

Abstract Background: Victimisation of women is encountered in all countries across the world, it damages the mental and physical health of women. During pregnancy and the postpartum period, women are at a greater risk of experiencing violence from an intimate partner. The aim of this study was to explore childbirth outcomes in a Swedish population of women reporting a history of violence including domestic violence during pregnancy. Methods: A longitudinal cohort design was utilised. In total 1939 pregnant women ≥ 18 years were recruited to answer two questionnaires, during early and late pregnancy. The available dataset included birth records of 1694 mothers who gave birth between June 2012 and April 2014. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, T-test and bivariate logistic regression. Results: Of 1694 mothers 38.7 % (n = 656) reported a history of violence and 2% (n = 34) also experienced domestic violence during pregnancy. Women who were single, living apart from their partner, were unemployed, had financial distress and were smokers were at a higher risk of experiencing violence (p = 0.001). They also had significant low scores on the SOC-scale and high EDS-scores ≥ 13 (p =0.001) when compared to women without a history of violence (p = 0.001). Having a history of violence increased a woman’s risk of having caesarean section (OR 1.33, 95 % CI 1.02 -1.70). Likewise, a history of emotional abuse, significantly increased the risk of having a caesarean section irrespective of whether it was planned or an emergency caesarean section (OR 1.50, 95% CI 1.09-2.06). Infants born to a mother who reported a history of violence, were at significant risk of being born premature < 37 weeks of gestation compared to infants born by mothers with no history of violence (p = 0,049). Conclusions: A history of violence and exclusively a history of emotional abuse has a negative impact on childbirth outcomes including caesarean section and premature birth. Therefore, early identification of a history of or ongoing violence is crucial to provide women with extra support which may have positive impact on birth outcome.

In the current study, researchers explored different types of coping strategies such as problem-focused coping, emotion-focused coping, and non-constructive coping of adolescents witnessing and experiencing domestic violence. Furthermore, they tried to find out the association of socio-economic status with coping strategies against domestic violence in family sphere. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 210 adolescents of both sexes, aged 13 to 18 years in Hafizabad city using multistage sampling technique. Multivariate analysis was used to find out the association between adolescents’ resistance and resilience strategies against domestic violence. The information was collected through a structured interview schedule. This study revealed that age, gender, parents’ education, and family income were major factors that influenced the adoption of coping strategy among adolescents. Overall, the study suggested that adolescents were being victimized of various forms of domestic violence frequently in Pakistan, which needs to be addressed on immediate basis through policies and programs by integrating the social institutions of family and education. Findings of the study can enable parents to nurture and support the developmental needs of children in their care. It can help youth in defending themselves from extreme violent behavior adopters and preventing them from becoming the perpetrators of the domestic violence.

Quail production refers to the rearing of birds, meticulouslychosen with the use of comparatively exhaustive systems,for meat, eggs or other purposes. The study was carriedout in Bindura urban area to evaluate the viability of urban quailfarming. A total of 40 urban quail farmers selected throughsnowball sampling, and 10 key randomly selected informantswere interviewed. Semi-structured interview guides were used,addressing such topics as history, ownership, management,opportunities, challenges and business records of urban quailfarming in Bindura town, Zimbabwe. A descriptive analysisof data was performed. As shown by the results, the rearing ofquails is a new agricultural business in the history of Zimbabwe.The main challenges highlighted by urban quail farmersincluded inadequate housing facilities, insufficient space, theft,predation, inadequate knowledge, fluctuations in market prices,inability to access credit and misconceptions in urban agriculturepolicies. Despite the challenges cited above, urban quailfarmers manage to provide eggs and meat to their families andrelatives. Urban quail farming proved to have the potential toboost family income and reduce poverty to some extent. Also,it provides an opportunity for academic research on the allegedmedicinal properties of quails. The study concluded that urbanquail farming plays an important, yet unexplored, role for thelivelihoods of the urban population. The study recommendspolicy changes that address the following issues: new developmentsin urban agricultural planning; awareness and educationcampaigns for various stakeholders; monitoring and coordinatingurban agricultural activities; and provision of loans andother credit facilities.

The Relationship

The relationship between asymptomatic shedding of bacterial enteropathogens and the hygiene habits of families who have had a child with typhoid fever (TF) are investigated. The sample was made up of 80 families: 40 families in which one child had had TF (Group A) and 40 in which no children or either of the parents had had a history of TF (Group B). In each group 20 families belonged to a low socieconomic status (SES) and 20 to a high SES. A structured interview was used to evaluate the SES and the hygiene habits of the child; observations were made to measure the hygiene habits of the family (toilet, kitchen and food preparation) and bacteriological studies (fecal samples and hand markers). Results show that carriers were more frequent in Group A than in Group B. The bacterial species found were significantly more numerous in Group A than in Group B (fecal samples: E. coli, the classic serotypes, Shigella ssp, and hand markers: E. coli). Families of Group A had higher carriage rates than those of Group B. Finally there exists a significantly higher association between inadequate hygiene habits and carrier families. These results show the need to teach specific habits of proper hygiene to the entire population, because the fact of belonging to the high SES does not in itself preclude inadequate hygiene habits.
