This article presents the status of rural Bangladeshi adolescent girls' awareness about reproductive health. Analysis of data revealed that a sizable proportion of adolescent girls had incorrect knowledge or misconceptions about the fertile period, reproduction, sexually transmitted diseases, and HIV/AIDS. Age, education either of adolescents or their mothers, residence, and exposure to mass media were the significant predictors of adolescent girls' knowledge about reproductive health. Strong efforts are needed to improve awareness and to clarify misconceptions about reproductive health. Improved access to mass media and education could improve rural Bangladeshi adolescent girls' awareness about reproductive health.

Self Defense

         This article aims to explore gay sexual orientation which is clashed with Islam and Psychology. In Islamic teachings, gay behavior that refers to acts of liwat} is an act that is forbidden. Even the death penalty is a threat to people who have a sexual orientation to the same sex. Based on this matter, this paper explores the case, where religious translations appear to meet irreconcilable needs, namely between gay and Islam. The research method used in this paper is qualitative with an approach Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The formal object used is the lens of the Vaillant version of the self-defense mechanisms theory. The results found in this study show that gays admit that their sexual orientation is a sin. They are aware of this as a whole, but none of the subjects of this study wish to leave Islam. The methods of gay in reconciling the conflict are: First, Islam is seen as a forgiving religion: Secondly, it is sinful to have sex outside marriage either homo or hetero and Third, sexual orientation is considered as the nature of God. Abstrak          Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplore orientasi seksual kaum gay yang dibenturkan dengan Agama Islam dan Psikologi. Di dalam Ajaran Islam, perilaku gay yang merujuk pada perbuatan liwath merupakan perbuatan yang diharamkan. Bahkan hukuman mati menjadi ancaman bagi orang yang memiliki orientasi seksual kepada sesama jenis. Berdasarkan hal tersebut tulisan ini mengeksplorasi kasus, dimana terjemah agama muncul untuk memenuhi kebutuhan yang tidak bisa didamaikan, yaitu antara gay dan Islam. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan Interpretatif Phenomenological Analisis (IPA). Objek formal yang digunakan adalah lensa teori mekanisme pertahan diri versi Vailant. Adapun hasil yang ditemukan dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa, gay mengakui bahwa orientasi seksual yang mereka miliki adalah dosa. Mereka menyadari hal tersebut secara utuh, namun tidak ada satupun dari subjek penelitian ini berkeinginan untuk meninggalkan Islam. Adapun cara-cara yang dilakukan gay dalam mendamaikan konflik tersebut, adalah: Pertama, Islam dipandang sebagai agama pengampun: Kedua, berdosa jika melakukan seks diluar nikah baik homo maupun hetero; dan Ketiga, orientasi seksual dianggap sebagai fitrah dari Tuhan.

Çatışma ve savaş ortamı kadın ve adölesan kız çocukların cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalıklar, istemsiz gebelikler, anne ve bebek ölümleri, kadına ve adölesan kızlara yönelik şiddet risklerini artırmaktadır. Bu çalışma kayıtların incelendiği kesitsel bir araştırmadır.  01.01.2015 ile 31.12.2015 tarihleri arasında Mardin Doğum Hastanesinde doğum yapan 3553 kadın ve ölü doğum, düşük, dış gebelik gibi nedenlerle gelen 780, toplamda 4333 gebe kadına ait bilgiler incelenmiştir. Mardinli gebe kadınların %1,7’si 18 yaş ve altında iken, Suriyeli gebe kadınların %3,5’i 18 yaş ve altında olduğu saptanmıştır. Her iki grubun fertilite hızları birbirlerine oldukça yakın çıkmıştır. Adölesan gebelikler Suriyeli gebeler arasında 2,17 kat daha fazla bulunmuştur (p=0.008). Suriyeli Adölesanların %28,6’sında gebelik düşük, ölü doğum, dış gebelik gibi nedenlerle kaybedilmişken bu oran Mardinli adölesanlarda daha düşük (%9,2) çıkmıştır. Bununla birlikte bu farklılık istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmamıştır (p=0,14). Üreme sağlığı kapsamında göçler önemli riskler doğurmaktadır. Bu çalışmada üzerinde durulan risk erken yaş gebelikleridir ve Suriyeli kadınlar arasında erken yaş gebelikleri yaygın bir sorun olduğu saptanmıştır.ABSTRACT IN ENGLISHSyrian Immigrants and Early Pregnancy as an Important Reproductive Health IssueConflicts and war increase sexually transmitted diseases, undesired pregnancy, violence risk to women and adolescence girls, besides mother and infant deaths.

Outing is conceptually linked to the notion of the “closet”; “coming out of the closet” amounts to publicly acknowledging one’s homosexuality, or at the least one’s participation in sexual activities with persons of the same sex. Outing makes someone’s homosexuality public; they are forced out of the closet, so to speak. Richard Mohr has described it this way: “outing [makes] publicly acknowledged the sexual orientation of a homosexual without regard to whether the person is willing to have this information publicly acknowledged”. Leslie Green provides this definition: “the practice of publicly exposing someone’s presumed sexual orientation, against his or her will, in circumstances where the revelation may be damaging.”
