And Behavior

Anthropomorphic practices are increasing worldwide. Anthropomorphism is defined as the tendency to attribute human forms, behaviors, and emotions to non-human animals or objects. Anthropomorphism is particularly relevant for companion animals. Some anthropomorphic practices can be beneficial to them, whilst others can be very detrimental. Some anthropomorphic behaviors compromise the welfare and physiology of animals by interfering with thermoregulation, while others can produce dehydration due to the loss of body water, a condition that brings undesirable consequences such as high compensatory blood pressure and heat shock, even death, depending on the intensity and frequency of an animal’s exposure to these stressors. Malnutrition is a factor observed due to consumption of junk food or an imbalance in caloric proportions. This can cause obesity in pets that may have repercussions on their locomotor apparatus. Intense human–animal interaction can also lead to the establishment of attachment that impacts the mental state and behavior of animals, making them prone to develop aggression, fear, or anxiety separation syndrome. Another aspect is applying cosmetics to pets, though scientific studies have not yet determined whether cosmetic products such as coat dyes, nail polish, and lotions are beneficial or harmful for the animals, or to what extent. The cohabitation of animals in people’s homes can also constitute a public health risk due to infectious and zoonotic diseases. In this context, this paper aims to analyze the adverse effects of anthropomorphism on the welfare of companion animals from several angles—physiological, sanitary, and behavioral—based on a discussion of current scientific findings.

The main objective of the study was to determine the Muslim women’s knowledge and accessibility to the law on post-divorce financial support particularly that which relates to ʿiddah maintenance, mutʿah, arrears of maintenance, and child maintenance. The data was collected using self-administered questionnaire. The sample was 201 divorced women recruited from the recorded cases for the period 2003-2005 in the Shariah Subordinate Courts of Hulu Langat and Gombak Timur, Selangor. The findings indicate that almost all respondents (99%) have high level of knowledge on the legal rights to post-divorce financial support. However, more than two-thirds of the respondents (70%) had low level of accessibility to the law when claiming for post-divorce financial support. The study suggests that although divorced women might have better access to legal information through reading and socialization, the problems regarding the attitude of the court’s officers and lawyers, the complexity of the court procedures, the uncooperative attitudes and the non-compliance of the ex-husbands to the court-ordered financial support did impede their accessibility to the law.

Background: One of the most important effects of many drying lakes in the world is increasing the emergence and outbreak of different diseases. For this sake, the present study aimed to systematically review the effects of lakes drying on human health. Methods: The present systematic review was designed and conducted in 2017. Data were gathered by searching the Science Direct, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Knowledge databases, along with hand search of key journals and unpublished resources and contact with experts. There was no specific time span for the search. Results: Overall, 22 articles were selected with 20 articles about Aral Lake drying. Almost all studies were cross-sectional and retrospective. In 8 studies, the participants were children. Seventeen articles lakes drying have adverse effects on human health. Based on the type of effect, the studies were classified into 7 categories (respiratory problems, reproductive system problems, kidney and urological diseases, cancers, anemia, and diarrhea). Conclusion: Most studies depicted the harmful effects of lakes draught on human health; they had low level of evidence as they were mostly retrospective and cross-sectional. There is not enough evidence to accept or reject with high level of certainty the very effects of lakes drying on human health. To provide such evidence we suggest conducting middle and long term cohort and observational studies with scientific bases.

The result of the research showed that among 23 respondents with low level of knowledge, almost all of them (78.3%) chose one-month contraceptive injection (cyclofem) which didn’t meet their needs. Moreover, the result of data analysis using SPSS program for Windows and Mann-Whitney test revealed that ρ = 0.003 < α 0.05 which proved that there was a relationship between the breastfeeding mothers’ knowledge and their choice for contraceptive injection. The conclusion of this research was that the breastfeeding mothers’ knowledge and their choice for contraceptive injection were related. Hence, the breastfeeding mothers should choose the three-month contraceptive injection because it gives no influence to the breast milk. Besides, the maximum counseling should also be done to the forthcoming acceptors to choose the appropriate contraceptive method.

One of the therapies for the patients with chronic kidney failure is diet. In fact, the sufferers sometimes give less participation on the diet. One of the factors is the patient’s knowledge about diet. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to find out the correlation between the knowledge level and the diet obedience level in the patients with chronic kidney failure having regular hemodialysis in Darmo Hospital. The design of study was analytic-observational. The population involved all of the patient with chronic kidney failure having regular hemodialysis in Darmo hospital. totally 63 people, in which 54 respondents were taken as the samples by using simple random sampling technique. The data were collected by using a questionnaire. The independent variable was the knowledge, whereas the dependent one was the diet obedience. Moreover, the data analysis was done by using Mann-Whitney’s test with the significance level α = 0.05. The result of study showed that most of the respondents (59%) had high level of knowledge, whereas nearly all of them (83.3%) were obedient with their diet. Furthermore, the result of analysis showed that p = 0.220 so that p > α which meant that there was no significance correlation between knowledge and diet obedience. The conclusion of study was that the knowledge was not the main factor of the diet obedience. There are other supporting factors, such as experiences in having hemodialysis therapy that can affect someone to go on a diet. Hence, the nurses and their family should play a role more actively in giving counseling about the diet for chronic kidney failure.

The higher the level of knowledge the community is not the miner, the more positive his attitude will be. But for the mining community, even though they have a high level of knowledge, they do not have an influence on attitudes because of the economic needs that must be met from mining. Total value of willingness to pay the community to maintain green open space is IDR 89.185.648/month.
