No full textThe Generalization Effect of Interparental Conflict in Sibling Relationships and Child Adaptation
No full textThe main goal of this study is to analyze the generalization effect of interparental conflict in sibling relationships and child adaptation. A Spanish sample made up of 100 children, aged between 7 and 18 years, was used. Interparental conflict was the independent variable, and child maladaptation the dependent variable, whereas sibling relationship and parenting style were the mediating variables. Extraversion was controlled as a covariate. Variables were measured through self-report questionnaires. The mediation model was supported. Results showed that more restrictive parental styles and a decrease of positive sibling exchanges were both associated with child maladaptation, which revealed this generalization process. The relation of these results with previous literature and future implications are discussed
Understanding the Motivation of Uzbek Women to Receive Higher Education
No full textThis study attempts to determine the degree of incentive Uzbek women have to pursue higher education in Uzbekistan, as well as the challenges they encounter when trying to apply for tertiary education or complete their university degrees. The survey also assesses the degree of self-motivation and readiness to pursue further education independently, as well as the general influence of parents, relatives, and friends on making the decision to enroll in university. It also emphasizes how Uzbek women view their place in society and their function within families. This study was conducted online among Uzbek women aged 17 to 40 years in different regions of the country through Google documents. According to the study\u27s findings, the majority of Uzbek women still lack the self-motivation to pursue higher education, even though over 90% of respondents said they valued their university education and their parents helped them pay for it. The study\u27s findings can be utilized to create recommendations for promoting female education by setting up campaigns about the role of women and the value of education
A Discourse of Hate: A Content Analysis of Responses to Queer Representation in Online Social Media
No full textThis study examined public responses to Elle Magazine’s Facebook post titled “30 LGBTQ+ Celebs You Really Should Know” to reveal common rhetoric towards lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and/or questioning, intersex, asexual, and two-spirit (LGBTQIA2S+)-based discussion on social media. A content analysis of 100 comments uncovered several themes in negative reactions to queer representation in the media sphere including: preferred ignorance, lack of understanding, blatant distaste, religious bias, the view that queer identity is unnatural, an illness, an identity crisis, a trend, and a trauma response. Of the 100 comments examined, 86 responses were negative. The most prevalent theme was preferred ignorance, where respondents favoured keeping queer representation out of public discourse.
 
The Effect of Backyard Agriculture on Household Income in the COVID-19 Era in Southeast Nigeria
No full textPoverty is a major menace in Nigeria, and the onset of COVID-19 complicated the issue by limiting people\u27s economic activities and livelihoods. Thus, there is a need for households to engage in sustainable economic activities to cope with economic shocks. Backyard agriculture could play a critical role in enhancing household income, especially during economic shocks; yet there exists a dearth of empirical information on this. Hence the need for this study, which investigated the effect of backyard agriculture on household income in southeast Nigeria. The study employed a multistage sampling procedure to get to the respondents. The data collected from randomly selected 480 households were analysed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and multiple regression. The study revealed that households that engaged in backyard agriculture had a higher income (N130,125=USD 204.84) than households that did not engage in backyard agriculture (N64,700=USD 101.85). Thus, there is a difference of N65,425 (USD 102.99) between the average income of households that engaged in backyard agriculture and households that did not engage in backyard agriculture. The t-test results indicate that the difference between their income was significant at 1%. The regression result further shows that backyard agriculture significantly increased the income level of households. Thus, backyard agriculture is a crucial tool to enhance household economic status and livelihood during health and economic shocks. Based on these, this study recommends the promotion of backyard agriculture among households to boost household income by the government through agricultural extension agents

No full textPaternal Participation in Optimal Infant and Young Child Feeding Practice and Associated Factors: A Community-Based Analytical Cross-Sectional Study from Chronically Food-Insecure Communities, Ethiopia
No full textEvidence shows that paternal participation helps to improve the utilization of optimal infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices. However, little has been known about chronically food-insecure (CFI) communities. The aim of this study to assess paternal participation in optimal IYCF practice and associated factors in the Dodota district of the Arsi zone, Ethiopia, 2022. A community-based cross-sectional study involving 1152 fathers was conducted after ethical clearance was obtained. Measures of optimal IYCF are based on criteria established by the World Health Organization. We analyzed the data using bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models. Results indicated that paternal participation in optimal IYCF practice was 26.2%. The percentages of early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF), exclusive breastfeeding (EBF), and minimum acceptable diet (MAD) were respectively 72.9%, 66.1%, and 37.3%. Paternal knowledge of IYCF (AOR:3.2, P <0.01), education (AOR:2.1, P<0.05), income (AOR:1.8, P<0.05), child\u27s age (AOR 1.7, P<0.05), and the number of children (AOR:2.1, P<0.05) were the predictors of the outcome. Large-scale, in-depth studies should be required to justify the result unequivocally
