Abstrak:   Fokus penelitian ini adalah bagaimana nilai seorang pendakwah perempuan dalam dakwah Islam serta peran pendakwah perempuan dalam peningkatan dakwah Islam di desa Sananwetan kecamatan Sananwetan kota Blitar? Untuk mengidentifikasi permasalahan tersebut secara mendalam dan menyeluruh, peneliti menggunakan paradigma penelitian fenomenologi. Adapun pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif, karena penelitian ini berusaha menangkap dan memahami realitas sosial ataupun fenomena yang ada. Selain itu tujuan penulis dalam penelitian ini adalah ingin mengetahui nilai seorang pendakwah perempuan serta perannya dalam peningkatan dakwah Islam di desa Sananwetan yang dianalisis menurut teori kelompok bungkam dan feminisme. Data dalam penelitian ini diperoleh melalui 3 cara, yakni dengan metode wawancara, observasi dan studi dokumentasi serta didukung dengan menggunakan teknik sosiometri. Syari’at Islam memberikan kewajiban yang sama kepada laki-laki dan perempuan untuk menjalankan dakwah. Meskipun dalam stratafikasi tanggung jawab berbeda. Perjuangan pendakwah perempuan di desa Sananwetan untuk meningkatkan perannya dalam dakwah agar seimbang dengan para pendakwah laki-laki di masyarakat desa Sananwetan, pada awalnya kurang dapat diterima oleh masyarakat desa Sananwetan itu sendiri. Mereka terbungkam secara psikologis oleh suami dalam batasan waktu dan wilayah dakwah, serta budaya masyarakat yang kurang berkenan dengan adanya seorang pendakwah perempuan. Pada akhirnya, dalam penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa setelah adanya gerakan feminisme pendakwah perempuan yang dikembangkan oleh Ibu Salamah dalam kegiatan khataman al-Qur’an dan peduli kasihnya serta Ibu Utami dalam kegiatan arisan qurbannya, menjadikan nilai mereka sebagai seorang pendakwah perempuan terangkat di mata masyarakat. Sehingga peranan mereka dalam dakwah sudah dianggap setara sebagai pendamping ataupun mitra bagi pendakwah laki-laki dan kaum laki-laki lainnya tidak hanya dalam dakwah, namun juga pada ranah yang lain. Penelitian ini belumlah sempurna, untuk itu peneliti membutuhkan saran-saran mendukung sebagai rekomendasi penelitian ke depan. Abstract :  Focus of this research is how the value of a women preachers in Islamic da'wah and the role of women preachers in increasing Islamic da'wah in Sananwetan village, Sananwetan sub-district, Blitar city?

The struggle of women preachers in Sananwetan village to increase their role in da'wah to be balanced with male preachers in Sananwetan village community was initially less acceptable to the people of Sananwetan village itself. They are psychologically silenced by husbands within the timeframe and dakwah area, as well as the culture of the people who are less pleased with the presence of women preachers. In the end, in this research found that after the movement of feminism of women preachers developed by Mrs. Salamah in activity of khataman al-Qur'an with her caring and love and Mrs. Utami in arisan qurban activity, made their value as a woman preacher lifted in society eye.

The article analyses the accessibility of medical facilities in rural areas of modern Russia and the specifics of their organization and development. The authors reveal causes why rural residents have much less opportunities to seek quality medical care than urban ones, what leads to a disparity between the inhabitants of the city and the village. The thesis is substantiated that state programmes that should make health services accessible to the rural population to a greater extent do not cope with the task at hand. An attempt is made to highlight the public’s response to the existing disparity in the health services of the villagers compared to urban dwellers. Such a reaction can be considered an outflow of people from rural areas, and an increase in self-medication among rural people as a result of the difficulty in obtaining health services. The decrease in the number of treatment facilities in rural areas leads to a deterioration in the medicine situation in rural areas. That, according to the authors of the article, justifies the need to study the issues associated with the provision of medical care to the rural population.

With rapid rural urbanization and new rural construction, the commercial energy consumption of rural residents shows a trend of rapid growth, and China’s rural areas are also faced with environmental challenges brought by the increase of commercial energy consumption. China’s commercial energy consumption behavior of rural residents has also undergone tremendous changes. However, scholars have neglected the research on rural residents’ commercial energy consumption intention from a micro perspective. Therefore, this study takes the 5 villages in Chengdu out of the 100 representative villages in the Sichuan province as examples. From the perspective of the head of a family of permanent rural residents, extended planned behavior theory, exploratory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling are used to explore the influencing factors of rural resident commercial energy consumption intention and their relationship. Findings show that subjective norm, perceived behavioral control (PBC), and habit significantly affect residents’ behavioral intention. Habits significantly influence subjective norms and PBC. Therefore, in the new rural construction, rural residents are the main body and participants of energy consumption. Local government departments should plan reasonably according to the needs and characteristics of residents, constantly improve commercial energy infrastructure, improve service level, and further strengthen farmers’ attitude and satisfaction toward commercial energy. Moreover, they should increase the publicity and education of commercial energy, advocate green housing, and promote energy saving consumption reduction, and sustainable development in new rural areas.

AbstractObjectiveA Mediterranean diet quality index (MDQI) was devised to give an overall assessment of dietary habits and to identify groups at risk.DesignThe MDQI was based on scores given for selected levels of consumption of selected nutrients and foods.SettingMediterranean southern France.SubjectsThe sample included 473 men and 491 women in three age classes recruited at random.ResultsOnly 9.5% of men, 9.0% of women, 4.7% of 20–34 year old subjects, 6.6% of 35–54 year old subjects and 14.0% of 55–76 year old subjects were shown to have a healthy diet. However, 10.1% of men, 8.6% of women, 19.4% of 20–34 year old subjects, 10.2% of 35–54 year old subjects and 4.6% of 55–76 year old subjects were shown to have a poor diet. There were significantly fewer smokers among subjects with a good diet but the distribution of moderate wine drinkers was comparable between those with a good diet and those with a poor diet. Correspondence analysis associated a healthy diet with 55–76 year old men and women living in rural areas, who had received primary schooling only and who were manual workers. Both men and women with a poor MDQI score tended to be young and smokers. In addition, women with a poor MDQI tended to be heavy drinkers and obese.ConclusionsThis study showed that the Mediterranean model, which is generally recognized as a healthy diet, appears restricted to older people and to rural areas, whereas urbanized young people depart from it. A nutritional prevention policy targeted at young adults is required to encourage them to adhere to the Mediterranean model. Smoking and drinking showed different distribution patterns in the sample under study.

How deeply questions of irrigation affect the daily life of the peoples of southern Arabia was first impressed upon me when the summer floods came down to am-Fajarah in Ṣubaiḥī country lying west of Aden, where I happened to be stationed at the time. The villagers turned out to argue, with some violence, over the distribution of the flood-waters. It was, however, as Shaikh Durain, a Lahej official with us in the village, pointed out, without weapons that the villagers had come to the fray, and though the women stood behind, disputing the issue no less fiercely than.the men, egging them on, so that all would doubtless have come to blows, men and women alike, there would have been no stabbings or shootings. Shaikh Durain cynically implied that there was more of sound than fury in the rencontre, but of course this is not always so, and disputes arising over rights to the use of water can lead to blood-feuds. Since those days I have made some investigation into irrigation and its wealth of technical vocabulary in various parts of the Aden Protectorate, studying some systems in more or less detail, especially those near Mūdiyah village in Dathīnah.

(1) Background: Frequent contact of the dentist with potentially infectious material (PIM) is undeniable. The aim of the study was to determine the frequency and type of injuries, as well as to identify barriers to reporting and barriers to the implementation of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) among dentists from urban and rural areas. (2) Methods: We surveyed 192 dentists using an anonymous questionnaire. (3) Results: During the 12 months preceding the survey, 63% of dentists from the village and 58.8% of dentists from the city suffered at least one superficial cut, and deep cuts 15.1% and 17.6% respectively. Contact with PIM through spitting on the conjunctiva was 58.9% and 52.1% (village vs. city). Needle stick injuries were 50.4% and fingers were affected in 48.8% cases. The causes of injuries were: inattention 54.7%, rush 27%, unpredictable behavior of the patient 19%, recapping 18.2%. Work in the countryside was associated with a 1.95-times greater chance of not reporting injuries. The distance from a hospital with antiretroviral treatment may be a barrier to the implementation of PEP. (4) Conclusion: The circumstances of the injuries and the reasons for not applying for antiretroviral treatment point to the areas of necessary dentist education in this topic.
