AbstractThis study argues that not every instance of extramarital sexual intercourse among the Igbo women of southeastern Nigeria is adulterous. Using the sex-related rite of iwushi-miri (pouring of water) among the Mgbowo women of southeastern Nigeria (Igboland) as an example, the study explores the different means that the women have used in negotiating extramarital relationships, and sexual behaviours in the traditional, colonial and Christian patriarchal environments. The study brings together both ethnographic and feminist cultural resistance research to appraise the distinctions between punishable and culturally permitted extramarital sexual practices, and to highlight the role that extramarital sexual culture played in resisting the patriarchal domination of female sexuality in the age of empire. It also explores the challenges and the responses of Mgbowo women in negotiating extramarital relationships in a modern-day patriarchal setting. It sets out to explore how women’s sex power, agency and influence have been silenced in the colonial archives and mainstream scholarship. Through semi-structured interviews, the analysis of material culture, and participant observation, this study provides insight into traditional sexual culture(s), marital intercourse, and sex-related rituals among Mgbowo women.

Justice motivation has been considered one cause of celebrity infidelity scandals becoming flaming incidents. Nevertheless, few studies have examined how the belief in a just world (BJW), one motivation for justice, affects people's attitudes toward these incidents. This study was conducted to identify the relations among BJW, negative emotions toward infidelity (NE), and celebrity infidelity blaming (CIB). Data were collected from 1186 Japanese adults (mean age = 44.9 years, SD = 13.8; 49.4% male). The results of structural equation modeling revealed that NE positively relates to CIB and plays a mediating role between BJW and CIB. However, BJW neither facilitates NE nor positively predicts CIB; on the contrary, it suppresses both NE and CIB. The findings indicate that BJW decreases people's blame on celebrity infidelity and suggest future directions for mitigating the issues posed by casting blame on celebrities' cheating scandals.

Background Not having an established relationship is associated with an elevated risk of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection, but this might reflect selection into and out of unions. Although union formation and union separation are common events in reproductive age, little is known about changes in CT risk before and after these transitions. Methods We linked Finnish Population Register data to the National Register of Infectious Diseases and used fixed-effects linear probability models that account for all time-invariant confounders to examine changes in women's 6-month CT risk 3 years before and 3 years after entry into first cohabitation (n  = 293 554), non-marital separation (n  = 201 647) or marital separation (n  = 92 232) during 2005–14. Results From 3 years to 1 year before first union formation, the 6-month risk of CT increased slightly, peaking at 1.27% immediately prior to union formation (95% confidence interval 1.22–1.31). It declined sharply following union formation, being only 0.40% (0.34–0.46) 6–12 months after union formation with little changes thereafter. Among women separating from non-marital unions, the risk increased from 0.50% (0.42–0.57) to 1.45% (1.40–1.49) around the time of separation and decreased following separation. The pattern of findings was relatively similar for marital separation, although the observed risks and changes were smaller in magnitude. Conclusions Our results based on longitudinal data and individual fixed-effects models indicate that the period immediately after separation may be causally associated with an elevated risk of CT. This suggests that recently separated women should be identified as a high-risk group for CT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and schema therapy on psychological capital in women affected by marital infidelity. Methods: This research was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design with a control group. The statistical population included all women dealing with the issue of marital infidelity of their spouses who referred to counseling centers in Tehran in 2022 and expressed their readiness to participate in the treatment program in response to the researcher's call. From this population, 45 subjects were selected using purposive sampling and randomly assigned to three equal groups of 15 (two experimental groups and one control group). The Psychological Capital Questionnaire by Luthans et al. (2007) was used to collect data. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) tests. Findings: The results indicated that both schema therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy interventions produced a significant difference in psychological capital in women affected by marital infidelity at the post-test and follow-up stages compared to the control group (p ≤ 0.001). Conclusion: The results showed that cognitive-behavioral therapy had a greater impact on psychological capital in women affected by marital infidelity compared to schema therapy.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of Transactional Analysis Therapy and Narrative Therapy on the fear of intimacy in women affected by marital infidelity. Methods and Materials: The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test design and a control group with a follow-up period. The statistical population of this study included all women affected by their spouses' infidelity who referred to counseling centers in District 4 of Tehran in 2022. A total of 45 participants were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group. The instrument used in this research was Pollard's Fear of Intimacy Scale (IFS) (1998). The intervention included Eric Berne's Transactional Analysis (1950) and White's Narrative Therapy protocol (2017), conducted in 8 group sessions of 120 minutes each, twice a week, for the first and second experimental groups. Data were analyzed using mixed ANOVA. Findings: The results of the analysis showed a significant difference in the fear of intimacy between the groups in the post-test and follow-up (P<0.05). The results indicated that Transactional Analysis Therapy was significantly more effective than Narrative Therapy in reducing the fear of intimacy in women affected by their spouses' infidelity, with a significant difference observed between the two therapies (P<0.05). Conclusion: It can be concluded that there is a significant difference between Transactional Analysis Therapy and Narrative Therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This clinical case study delves into the therapeutic process of a cross-cultural couple, facing the intersection of disability and infidelity concerns. This intersection illuminates the intricate dynamics that arise when couples navigate both the complexities of disability and the emotional turmoil associated with infidelity. Utilizing Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), case intervention unfolded through three distinct stages, revealing intricate emotional dynamics, attachment styles, and communication patterns. The study explores the couples’ narrative, negative interaction cycles, and distinct emotional processing styles, considering complicating factors such as immigration challenges, cultural norms, and online infidelity. To strengthen bonds, the therapeutic approach promotes cultural sensitivity, intersectionality, and emotional connection. Despite time constraints and visa issues, the study highlights the efficacy of EFT in navigating the complexities of this cross-cultural couple. This case study contributes to the existing literature by examining the interplay of disability, infidelity, and cultural diversity within the framework of couples’ therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study explores the major types and main interpersonal functions of meishi (没事 , literally 'I'm fine') by Chinese females in romantic conversation through analyzing collected posts from Sina Microblog. Results show that meishi by Chinese females in the context of romantic relationships primarily manifests the attributes of "expressive" and "assertive" ("insincere assertive" in particular), with specific functions to express comfort (expressive), to implicitly express negative feelings (expressive), and to avoid self-disclosure of negative emotion (insincere assertive). We hold that Chinese women's use of meishi is not only a realization of gendered discourse but also has a practical function as it detects the sincerity and attentiveness of their male counterparts.

The Muslim community interprets the hadith differently, leading to the early or young age marriage controversy. This study aims to map the arguments of acceptance and rejection of young marriage among Muslims derived from the interpretation of hadith on young marriage. This qualitative research employed primary data sources from anti-dating millennial community social media and the interpretation of ulema on online media. The study results showed that the anti-dating movement campaigned for young marriage by partially quoting hadiths, which distorted religious texts, resulting in misreading, misinterpretation, and misquotation of the Prophet's hadiths. Based on the results of this understanding, millennial Muslims believe that young marriage avoids adultery to increase piety. In contrast, progressive Islamic scholars (ulema) reject young marriage by citing the hadiths on marriage comprehensively and by considering the negative impact of young marriage and the purpose of marriage in Islam. The young marriage controversy is based on different methods of understanding hadith, different sources of knowledge about hadith, different marital experiences of young marriage partners, and different environments that influence young marriage. The reinterpretation of the hadiths that legitimate young marriage, which is influenced by patriarchal ideology, is absolutely necessary to follow the principles and values of Islamic teachings that are humanist, inclusive, and egalitarian.

This article explores different interpretations of Kant's Formula of Humanity (FH) and its relationship to consent. The author challenges the popular view that using someone's humanity as a mere means is only permissible if they consent to it. They examine various types of consent and critique their applicability to Kant's philosophy. The author also questions consent-based interpretations of the FH, offering an alternative understanding of the prohibition. They argue that "Einstimmung," often translated as consent, should be understood as a hermeneutic question rather than actual consent. The author proposes a derivation of duties based on the prohibition without the need for a consent condition. They address objections to their proposal and clarify that their interpretation is not a form of moral particularism. [Extracted from the article]

Objective: Extramarital affairs are phenomena that often occur to fulfill an individual's emotional or sexual needs through relationships outside the marital domain. The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT) in increasing intimacy and marital forgiveness and reducing marital burnout in women affected by extramarital affairs. Methods and Materials: The present study is a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up, along with a control group. The statistical population of this study included all women affected by their spouse's extramarital affairs who referred to specialized family counseling centers in District 6 of Mashhad. From this population, 30 women were selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using the Marital Forgiveness Scale by Rye et al. (2001), the Marital Burnout Scale by Pines (1996), and the Marital Intimacy Scale by Thompson and Walker (1983). Participants were randomly assigned to three experimental groups and one control group, each consisting of 15 individuals. Data analysis was performed using repeated measures ANOVA with SPSS-20 statistical software. Findings: The results indicated that Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy was effective in improving intimacy and marital forgiveness and reducing marital burnout in women affected by extramarital affairs (P<0.01). The results of this study remained stable during the follow-up phase. Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy is effective in enhancing intimacy, forgiveness, and reducing marital burnout in women affected by extramarital affairs. This therapeutic approach can be used to alleviate the psychological problems of couples affected by extramarital affairs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: We examined the variables of common content knowledge, specialized content knowledge, and performance that preservice teachers had acquired from their K–12 physical education and extracurricular experiences and the effects of a content course on improving their content knowledge and performance. Method: Nineteen preservice teachers were assessed during a half a semester long content course using pre- and posttests of common content knowledge, soccer performance, and two specialized content knowledge variables: instructional tasks and error analysis. Relationships between experience in playing and coaching for each assessment were conducted. Data are reported descriptively and inferentially. Results: Preservice teachers had poor pretest scores on all variables except performance. Posttest scores following the content class showed substantive, highly significant relationships with large effect sizes. Yet, the levels obtained were less than desirable for all common content knowledge and specialized content knowledge variables, except performance. A number of relationships were found between experience and the measures. Discussion/Conclusion: Our results suggest that more research needs to be conducted on the design of content courses in physical education teacher education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Differences in adultery regulations in various countries in the world can be different, one of which is due to the ideology adopted by each country. Regulations related to adultery actually have relevance to state ideology and the values held and lived by society, including religious values. Purpose of the Research: This research aims to analyze and compare adultery regulations based on the values and ideology that apply in a country by comparing adultery regulations between Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, and Turkey. Method of Research: This research is normative legal research by prioritizing historical, conceptual, legislative and comparative approaches. Results of Research: The results of the research confirm that the development of adultery regulations in Indonesia has not been substantively facilitated since it was regulated in the WvSNI and even passed into the Criminal Code in 1946. This is because what is regulated in the Criminal Code as an official translation of Dutch criminal law is only an overspel that if translated into Indonesian is closer to the act of infidelity and not adultery. The regulation of adultery in the new national criminal law is officially regulated in the New Criminal Code, especially in Article 411 of the New Criminal Code, which is actually in accordance with the meaning of the offense of adultery in accordance with the values and culture of Indonesian society. Differences in the regulation of adultery in each country, especially countries with a majority Muslim population. This is a necessity because differences in adultery regulations in each country depend on the ideology adopted by each country. However, in general, in societies where the majority are Muslim, adultery is classified as a disgraceful act that deserves criminal sanctions as applied in Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam, whereas Turkey, even though the majority of the population is Muslim, is based on a secularist view, only regulating adultery within the realm of law. private.

Background: Health information‑seeking behavior refers to individuals’ targeted actions to satisfy their health information needs and search for relevant disease‑related information. Nowadays, social media platforms provide a great opportunity for meeting health information needs and delivering preventive education regarding human papillomavirus (HPV). The purpose of this study is the information‑seeking behavior of Iranian young adults (18–28 years old) regarding HPV on social media, a preventive approach to HPV. Methods: The present descriptive‑analytical study was conducted in 2023 among Iranian boys and girls aged 18–28 years. A multistage cluster sampling method was used to select 3840 participants. The data collection tool was Longo’s Health Information‑Seeking Behavior Questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS software. Results: The results showed that Iranian youth aged 18–28 were more inclined to seek information on social media about the transmission routes and preventive measures for HPV. The primary informational need regarding transmission was “I want to know the main route of HPV transmission is through vaginal and anal intercourse?”, and regarding prevention, it was “Can condoms prevent HPV infection?” Additionally, the findings indicated that young individuals sought information about HPV after their first sexual encounter. Most of the information needs of the youth were fulfilled through YouTube, Instagram, and WhatsApp, mainly in video format. Approximately 85.10% of the youth were satisfied with the information obtained from social media. The results revealed a significant and positive relationship between the health information needs of young adults (18–28 years old) in the area of HPV and personal factors. Gender, age, marital status, education level, history of HPV infection, and engaging is unprotected extramarital sex were identified as significant influential factors on the level of information needs of young individuals, especially regarding HPV preventive measures (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Health authorities and disease control and prevention centers need to harness the potential of social media in meeting the informational needs of youth and providing education and awareness, especially concerning the transmission and prevention of HPV.

This study explores the motivations behind infidelity among men with married women. The objective of this research is to delve into the psychological and social dynamics that drive men to choose married women as partners, despite it being wrong both religiously and legally. Using a phenomenological approach, this study conducts in-depth interviews with four (4) informants in their 30s and 40s who have had or are currently in romantic relationships with married women. The interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis to deeply understand the personal experiences of the informants. The results show that the primary motivations for men engaging in infidelity with married women include existing problematic marriages/relationships, the character of the married woman, curiosity, social acceptance, and opportunities for interaction, whether face-to-face or through modern digital interactions. The findings of this study contribute to the ongoing discussion on the importance of marital stability and the complexity of human relationships. The implications of this study highlight the necessity for targeted interventions and counseling aimed at straightening marital bonds and addressing the root causes of infidelity.

Infidelity is a relationship betrayal that can lead to multiple negative individual and relational outcomes. Multiple clinicians have developed practice-based models of couple healing from infidelity; however, few of these models have been systematically examined. One such model is Butler et al.'s clinical model, grounded in attachment theory and the concept of relational ambivalence. In the present study, we sought to systematically examine and refine Butler et al.'s model of couple healing from infidelity using deductive qualitative analysis of seven publicly available online blogs written by non-straying partners. Informed by the clinically based model, we generated sensitizing constructs and engaged in open, focused, and theoretical coding. Our results support several key components of the original model, while also suggesting refinements to the concept of ambivalence for straying partners as well as couple-level responses. Our results suggest that a meaningful expansion to the original model is non-straying partners' efforts to heal individually throughout the entire healing process. We suggest clinical implications and opportunities for future research based on our analysis. Infidelity is a relationship betrayal that can lead to individual distress and relationship disruption. In this article, we evaluated an existing descriptive model of couple healing from infidelity using seven online blogs. Our results suggest that the existing model of couple healing can be improved by incorporating non-straying partners' individual healing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) of mothers have been shown to be associated with children's mental health and behavior problems. It is important to identify effective intervention points to prevent negative consequences among children. This study aimed to investigate whether mothers' education is protective against children's depressive symptoms in families with mothers who experienced parental divorce in childhood. Data from a cross-sectional study of 5th and 8th grade children and their caregivers in a prefecture in Japan were used. Final analytic sample consisted of 9666 child-caregiver pairs. Mediation analyses using inverse odds weighting were performed where the exposure was maternal experience of parental divorce in childhood, outcome was child depressive symptoms, and potential mediators were maternal education beyond high school, maternal mental health, and household income. Maternal experience of parental divorce was associated with an elevated risk of child depressive symptoms (risk ratio: 1.22, 95 % confidence interval (CI): 1.07–1.39). Mediation analyses indicated that the combination of maternal education, maternal depression and household income mediated about half of the total effect. In the model where maternal education was the sole mediator, maternal education mediated nearly half of the total effect (risk ratio: 1.10, 95 % CI: 1.01–1.20). Results should be cautiously interpreted given observational and cross-sectional nature of the data. Maternal education beyond high school may be protective against negative mental health consequences among children due to mothers' experience of parental divorce. Further studies are needed regarding potential mechanisms and the roles of other potential mediators. • Maternal experience of parental divorce was associated with an elevated risk of their children's depressive symptoms. • Maternal education mediated the link between maternal experience of parental divorce and their children's mental health. • Maternal education may be protective against children's depressive symptoms due to mothers' experience of parental divorce.

The aim of the research: explanation of the types of adultery and the ruling on each type from the books of the Islamic jurists. Research Methodology: in this research, the researcher relied on the comparative analytical inductive method, by collecting the types of adultery from the books of Islamic jurists, and an analytical study of what the jurists of each school of thought have said in ruling on each type by comparing their statements and weighing between them. Main sections of the research: introduction, preface, six chapters, and conclusion. Top research results: the researcher concluded through his study of the subject that the chosen definition of adultery should be a definition of the essence, not a definition of the conditions of the punishment. He also concluded that sodomy, bestiality, intercourse with the dead, intercourse with minors, and intercourse with relatives are all types of adultery, according to the most correct of the jurists' statements.

Metaphor is a symbolic and indirect language that conveys concealed and supplementary meanings. Interpretive narratives may also exhibit gender metaphors and stereotypes. The work is founded on the interpretive accounts of three Persian interpretations of Rowz alJannan, Jala al-Azhan, and Manhaj al-Sadeghin in this research. This article has selected narratives that have employed gender metaphors or whose content is reminiscent of gender metaphors. Subsequently, the qualitative content analysis method has been employed to investigate the value of these metaphors and their correlation with gender stereotypes. Examples of gender metaphors in these narratives include “bed,” “Boyut,” “Atbah,” and “Denya.” While some of these metaphors have a positive connotation, others have a negative connotation. The most significant findings of this research are that the majority of negative metaphors about women are based on the role of a woman as a wife or sexual companion, which emphasizes her physical appearance. These metaphors are influenced by prevalent gender stereotypes that are detrimental. On the contrary, the majority of positive metaphors are centered on the role of the mother and the qualities of kindness, creation, origin, and commencement that are associated with the mother. In addition, this research demonstrates that the female body is depicted in two distinct ways: the “heavenly body” and the “infernal body.” The female heavenly body is a symbol of complete delight and benefit, while the female infernal body is a symbol of deception, sin, Satan, and adultery.

Background: Males have accounted for a significant share of new HIV infections among young people in the recent years. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with risky sexual behaviors, including early sexual debut, multiple sexual partnership and condomless sex, among sexually active male college students and provide implications for tailored health interventions. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2020 to December 2021 in 16 colleges that were located in Sichuan Province, one of the high-risk areas in China. Overall 1640 male college students who reported sexually experienced were analyzed in this study. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was applied to determine factors associated with early sexual debut, multiple sexual partnership and condomless sex. Results: The average age of included male students was 19.95 ± 1.56. Of them, 27.74% initiated sexual behavior early, 48.60% reported multiple sexual partnership, and 16.52% did not use condoms at the latest sexual intercourse. Students who were younger (age ≤ 19, AOR = 7.60, 95%CI: 4.84–11.93; age20-21, AOR = 3.26, 95%CI: 2.04–5.21) and self-identified as sexual minorities (AOR = 2.38, 95%CI: 1.69–3.36) were more likely to have early sexual debut. The odds of having multiple sexual partners were higher among those who were ethnic minorities (AOR = 1.79, 95%CI: 1.33–2.41) and accepted extramarital sex (AOR = 1.33, 95%CI: 1.03–1.71). The likelihood of engaging in condomless sex at the latest sexual intercourse was lower among those who had sufficient knowledgeable about HIV (AOR = 0.63, 95%CI: 0.44–0.89), were very confident in condom use efficacy (AOR = 0.26, 95%CI: 0.16–0.43) and confident (AOR = 0.48, 95%CI: 0.34–0.69). Early sexual debut was positively associated with multiple sexual partnership (AOR = 3.64, 95%CI: 2.82–4.71) and condomless sex at the latest intercourse (AOR = 1.53, 95%CI: 1.07–2.20), respectively. Conclusion: Early sexual debut, multiple sexual partnership and condomless sex were of considerable concern among male college students. Comprehensive sex education curricula were advised by developing customized information on HIV prevention, sexuality and empowering students with assertiveness and negotiation skills with regard to condom use during and before college.

Background: Marital factor has been associated with dementia and Alzheimer's disease, but there is limited evidence on the impact of holistic marital history over time. Objective: This study aimed to examine association of marital history with cognition. Methods: The study included 24,596 dementia-free participants from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Study (CLHLS). Holistic marital history was collected at baseline, categorizing participants into five groups: widow-single, widow-remarried, divorce-single, divorce-remarried and married based on the first two marriages. Dementia was collected at follow-up through self-report or from a delegate if the participant was deceased. For 15,355 participants, the Chinese Mini-Mental Status Examination (CMMSE) was administered at both baseline and follow-ups. Cognitive impairment was defined as a follow-up CMMSE score below 18, and rate of cognitive change was calculated as the change in CMMSE score between consecutive visits divided by the duration. Results: Compared with married older adults, widow-single group had significantly higher risk of dementia (HR 1.28, 95% CI 1.05, 1.54), cognitive impairment (HR 1.31, 95% CI 1.17, 1.47) and significantly faster decline of MMSE score (β –0.09, 95% CI –0.17, –0.01). Meanwhile, widow-remarried group had significantly lower risk of dementia, cognitive impairment and slower MMSE score decline than widow-single group, although the differences were only significant among female but not male. Conclusions: In this prospective cohort, married older adults and those widowed but with a second marriage had significantly better cognition than widowed individuals who did not remarry.

Criticism in early modern English drama continues to expose the socio‐spatial anxieties generated by plague that shaped both plays and the playhouse space. What has not yet been considered in any detail, however, are the numerous public health measures born out of these anxieties that altered the lived experience of space during outbreaks. This article begins to address this lacuna by reading Thomas Heywood's domestic tragedy A Woman Killed with Kindness through the lens of contemporary plague prevention. Plague policy repurposed the home into a space that might not only contain the infected but, with competent governance, might also provide the first line of defence against infection. Woman Killed, a play that likely premiered in the wake of an outbreak, is vigorously alert to the dynamics of plague‐time domestic space and the onus placed on householders to cleanse and manage the home and its peripheries. This article examines how Heywood draws on plague prevention practices to introduce and remove ‘infectious’ sources to and from the Frankford home. Heywood utilizes the cultural immediacy of plague measures to expose and explore the dangers of female adultery that, like plague, threatened the integrity and autonomy of domestic space.

Background: Limited gender-based research has compared sexual health among pornography users (PUs) and non-users, including non-problematic pornography users (non-PPUs) and problematic pornography users (PPUs), particularly in non-Western cultures. Methods: A 2022 cross-sectional study involving 450 Iranian university students categorized participants as PUs or non-users based on 12 months of use. PUs were further classified as non-PPUs or PPUs using the 'Problematic Pornography Use Scale' cutoff point, with comparisons of demographic and sexual variables made between these groups. Results: Pornography use was reported among 39.6% of students, including 51.7% of men and 33.6% of women. In general, 9.5% of participants were PPUs, including 17.4% of men and 5.6% of women. PUs were mainly men, had fewer children, shorter marriages, lower religiosity, and lower levels of education. Compared with non-users, PUs reported earlier sexual relationships, lower satisfaction with sex frequency and communication, and greater rates of extramarital relationships, masturbation, sexual desire, and sexual distress. PPUs reported more sexual desire, pornography use, masturbation, and extramarital affairs than non-PPUs. Similar patterns in demographics, sexual history, and health were observed in pornography use across genders. The regression indicated being male (OR: 2.42, 95% CI: 1.44–4.06), having lower education (OR: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.81–0.97), fewer children (OR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.48–0.86), higher masturbation (OR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.14–1.49), more extramarital relationship (OR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.07–2.67), less religiosity (OR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.82–0.93), more sexual excitement (OR: 0.79, 95% CI:0.62–1), and more sexual distress (OR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.02–1.32) were associated with pornography use. Two-way ANOVA found no significant effects of gender or pornography use on sexual satisfaction. Women had worse sexual function regardless of usage. Pornography users, regardless of gender, experienced higher sexual distress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In a letter to bishops from Buenos Aires, Pope Francis supports a praxis of Communion to the divorced and remarried which diverges from magisterial precedent, and theologians have asked if this praxis is a rupture in the church's moral tradition on intrinsically evil objects and adultery. Using criteria provided by Pope John Paul II's Thomistic personalism, supplemented by Aquinas's teaching on the essential elements of natural law marriage, this article demonstrates how, in situations of moral impossibility, Pope Francis's proposal is in continuity with, and not a rupture from, the church's moral tradition regarding intrinsically evil objects.

In 1 Cor 5:1 Paul refers to a scandal in the Corinthian community, a Christian living with his stepmother. Such a situation was indeed condemned in Greek and Roman sources, even if it was supposed to happen only occasionally. The women, rather than men, were considered guilty of it. The tolerance shown by the Corinthian community could possibly be explained by cases in which such a relation was justified by special circumstances. The best example we know about is the marriage between Antiochus I and his stepmother Stratonice, as described in Appian, Historia Romana XI.10.59-61 (cf. Plutarchus, Demetrius 38; earlier Sophocles, Trachiniae 1221-1229). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This text explores John Calvin's interpretation of the biblical prohibition on cross-dressing in Deuteronomy 22:5 and its relevance to contemporary issues of transgender behavior. Calvin believed that dressing according to one's God-assigned gender is necessary for maintaining God's created order. He emphasized the importance of upholding God's commandments without compromise, while also expressing sympathy for those struggling with gender dysphoria. The text suggests that Calvin's teachings can provide guidance for the church in addressing these complex issues. [Extracted from the article]

This study aims to determine the percentage of chicken meat in beef and chicken mixtures, which is the most common form of beef adulteration. Ground beef and beef sausages were prepared with mixtures containing chicken meat, ranging from 0.0% to 100.0% with 5.0% increments, and analyzed using a near-infrared spectroscopy device. Optimal analysis conditions were determined through the examination of a wide range of regression models. The best regression model for ground beef mixtures yielded the following results: RMSEC (Root Mean Square Error of Calibration): 2.35, RMSEV (Root Mean Square Error of Validation): 3.36, R²C (R-Value Calibration): 0.99, R2V (R-Value Validation): 0.98. The results for beef sausages were as follows: RMSEC: 2.56, RMSEV: 3.66, R²C: 0.99, R2V: 0.98. As a result, the chicken meat content in beef mixtures was detected with a margin of error of 2.05%, while the chicken meat content in beef sausages was detected with a margin of error of 2.12%.

A crucial component of comprehending societal change is understanding how sexual attitudes have evolved over time. The substantial and typical changes in China have created an ideal quasi-experimental design and a wealth of empirical data for tracking the evolution of sexual attitudes. However, existing research has failed to adequately analyze the temporal trends in Chinese sexual attitudes. This study employed an age–period–cohort framework to investigate changes in public sexual attitudes, including premarital sex, extramarital sex, and homosexuality. And it further delved into these attitudes in light of two unique aspects of Chinese society: urban–rural divide and political status. It explored the contributing elements and potential processes of changing public sexual attitudes in China using data from seven waves of national social survey conducted from 2010 to 2021. The findings indicated that public sexual attitudes became more conservative with age; the period effect exhibited a fluctuating upward trend, indicating a general increase in acceptance of the three sexual attitudes; notable differences in sexual attitudes among cohorts were identified. The divergence in sexual attitudes was significantly influenced by urban–rural divide and political status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Martin Luther King Jr. and Frantz Fanon are often conceived as offering incompatible political strategies for liberation from the structures of white supremacy and colonization. While in 1958 King contended that the choice was not between "violence and nonviolence, but between nonviolence and nonexistence," three years later Fanon would famously insist that "decolonization is always a violent event." This essay refuses this apparent opposition by positioning King and Fanon as partners in a shared conversation, each grappling elements of a core dilemma: remaking the world requires new subjects not formed by domination, but these subjects must remake themselves while still enmeshed in them—must somehow act out of them. Reading with and against David Scott's (2004) conception of a "problem-space" shows how King and Fanon respond to the problem posed by the impossibility of a clean, emancipatory break with the past and present. Deploying Paul Gilroy's (1993) conception of antiphony, the essay stages a "call and response" that reveals not a romantic narrative of overcoming but a working-through of fragile, partial, and paradoxical political practices that yoke the self to a world-not-yet-made, cultivating nascent democratic publics who, as yet, lack a world in which they can survive.

Law in Indonesia is still largely influenced by Dutch law, both in terms of legal logic, legal concepts and theories. One of them is the regulation of the crime of adultery which is regulated by Article 284 of the Criminal Code. This setting is considered no longer relevant so it must be updated. The Criminal Code has reformed articles that are no longer in accordance with Indonesian culture. one of which is Article 411 concerning adultery which has been adapted to the norms and culture that apply in Indonesia. The problem taken from this research is a comparative analysis of the crime of overspel (adultery) in the articles of the new criminal code and the old criminal code related to adultery. The research method used in this research is Normative Juridical with the approach used being a statutory approach by analyzing the provisions contained in Articles 284 of the Criminal Code and 411 of the Criminal Code, research sources namely by law, secondary legal sources with scientific articles and books, tertiary book materials with dictionaries. The method of collecting legal materials with reference sources related to research, and the method of analyzing legal materials by understanding and reviewing the data collected. The results of the research concluded that the aim of updating the adultery article in the Criminal Code includes a value reorientation that attempts to accommodate the Indonesian value system in the offenses of adultery and cohabitation in the Criminal Code whose philosophy is in the form of safeguarding and respecting the institution/institutions of marriage, lineage, and upholding the values of marriage. moral values contained in Indonesian society. The aim of this research is to find out the comparison of the adultery article in article 284 of the old Criminal Code. and article 411 of the new Criminal Code. The changes to the adultery article in the Criminal Code are in accordance with the culture and norms that apply in Indonesia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on an analysis of the content of St. Caesarius of Arles’ Sermons, his conception of a program of Christian perfection can be shown. In it, St. Caesarius clearly distinguishes two essential stages: the first consists in undertaking a struggle against sins; the second consists in acquiring Christian virtues. In addition, St. Caesarius proposes measures for Christian perfection. This article is the first part of a study of this issue, and is limited to an analysis of the Sermons to the People in terms of the pastoral exhortations contained therein (various appeals, exhortations, injunctions and prohibitions, and postulates) concerning the first stage of the perfection program, which is to take up the fight against sins such as divination and pagan customs, concubinage and adultery, abortions, drunkenness, pride and envy. As a result, the pastoral priorities guiding him and the conceptual assumptions of the improvement program are shown. However, the main research goal is to show the actuality of St. Caesarius’ teaching by confronting the message of the exhortations he delivered with the teaching of the modern Church. The analysis of the content of the Sermons leads to the conclusion of the timeless significance of the life and religious problems raised by St. Caesarius. Although the form of the sermons delivered has become outdated, but their content is still relevant, and the message contained in the exhortations is also completely in line with the teaching of the modern Church.

Introduction: Incarcerated couples face a variety of concerns and barriers in their relationships, with infidelity being a major problem. This study sought to research incarcerated individuals' intimate relationships and experiences of anger and fidelity for both partners. Methods: Using data from the Multi-site Family Study on Incarceration, Parenting, and Partnering we utilized Actor-Partner Interdependence Modeling (APIM) to examine fidelity and anger management for incarcerated men and their non-incarcerated female partners. Results: The findings showed that the actor effect was not statistically significant, but the partner effect was statistically significant for both the incarcerated male partner and non-incarcerated female partner. There was no statistical significance for the control variable of education, which is contrary to previous correlational studies of anger management and education levels. Discussion: Based on these results, it is recommended that incarcerated individuals receive anger management training to strengthen fidelity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Online extramarital relationships, like their real-world counterparts, may lead to marital disputes, separation, and even divorce. Accordingly, this research aims to qualitatively analyze men's online extramarital relationships. Methods and Materials: This study was conducted qualitatively using content analysis methodology. Based on the criterion of theoretical saturation, twelve men participated in this study. Semi-structured interviews were used for data collection. MAXQDA software was utilized for coding and classifying the data. Findings: The factors contributing to the formation of men's online extramarital relationships can be categorized into 14 main categories and 30 subcategories. The factors contributing to the formation of men's online extramarital relationships can be discussed in four domains: individual-personality, familial, cultural-social, and religious beliefs and convictions. Conclusion: The extramarital relationship is a harmful phenomenon that occurs following a chain of individual-personality, familial, cultural-social factors, and religious beliefs and convictions. Given the nature of these factors, planning for prevention, focusing on, and providing necessary training to couples in this area can play a decisive role in reducing online extramarital relationships.

Background and purpose: Sexual satisfaction and attitudes toward marital infidelity are crucial components of marital quality and well-being. This study investigates the impact of social media and entertainment preferences on these aspects among married couples in Iran, acknowledging the sociocultural nuances unique to the region. Method and material: A cross-sectional survey design was employed, gathering data from 1,756 married participants through an online questionnaire in Iran. Variables included social media and entertainment preferences, sexual satisfaction, attitude toward marital infidelity, and demographic details. Descriptive statistics, non-parametric tests (Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test), and GLM (Generalized linear model) were used for exploration. Results: Key results reveal significant associations between demographic factors, social media usage, and attitudes toward marital infidelity. Notable trends include higher sexual satisfaction among younger participants (p < 0.05), those with shorter marital durations (p < 0.01), and those residing outside Tehran (p < 0.001). Attitudes toward marital infidelity were influenced by gender, age, ethnicity, income levels, and social media habits, reflecting a complex interplay of factors. The GLM analysis emphasizes the impact of variables such as marital duration, ethnicity, spouse's education, Iranian social media usage, and attitudes toward marital infidelity on sexual satisfaction. Participants with shorter marriages (p < 0.01), higher spouse education (p < 0.05), and more frequent Iranian social media usage (p < 0.001) reported higher sexual satisfaction. Conclusions: This study explores the dynamics of marital relationships in Iran, examining the interconnections between demographics, media habits, sexual satisfaction, and attitudes toward infidelity. The findings provide valuable insights into factors influencing marital satisfaction, emphasizing the importance of considering cultural contexts. Robust statistical methods, including Generalized Linear Models, support the reliability of results. The study contributes to understanding non-western marital dynamics, highlighting implications for research and interventions in the digital age. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AbstractThis article examines how royal mercy is articulated in homicide cases involving the family in the Records of Adjudications (Simnirok), a collection of over one thousand capital offenses reviewed by King Chŏngjo (r. 1776–1800) of Chosŏn Korea (1392–1910). Simni (“adjudications”) review comprised case memorials by provincial and metropolitan authorities and the royal judgments written in response to them. It was the king’s prerogative to endorse or commute any death sentence issued by officials below, and Chŏngjo’s judgments often find grounds for leniency. Previous studies of the Simnirok have examined the collection in light of late Chosŏn jurisprudence and social history, but have rarely subjected the narrative constructions and discursive strategies of the king with respect to highly contentious facts to close analysis. By examining select cases in the Simnirok involving domestic battery, adultery, and filial vengeance, this article examines how the “truth” behind each case and its legal implications are contextualized, constructed, or contested in view of orthodox values that are often patriarchal, and how Chŏngjo’s judgments project the persona of a benevolent and circumspect Confucian sage ruler who grants mercy largely within the bounds of the law.

Background: Women who are migrants experience discrimination and face major risks, including sexual exploitation, trafficking, and violence, which affect their health and well-being. This study explored critical health incidents experienced by immigrant Thai women in marriage migration. Methods: A qualitative explorative approach with in-depth interviews was used. Forty immigrant Thai women who currently or previously had a Swedish spouse were recruited for the study. An inductive critical incident technique was used to collect and analyze the data as the first step. In a second deductive step, the Newman system model was used to categorize health dilemmas. Results: The women reported 438 critical health incidents in five main areas. Psychological health dilemmas included emotional abuse, feeling overwhelmed due to family responsibilities and the stress of leaving family behind. Sociocultural health dilemmas included transnational family duties or not performing family duties. Physiological health dilemmas included experiencing physical violence and environmental, domestic or work accidents. Developmental health dilemmas included failing health, difficulties upholding the duties expected of a spouse in the target culture and caring for an elderly husband. Spiritual health dilemmas included critical incidents in which the women perceived themselves to have failed in their hopes and duties as a wife, which intensified their dependence on faith, particularly the Buddhist concept of karma. Conclusion: Professionals in health and welfare practices in Thailand together with professionals in Western countries who work with women in marriage migration situations need to recognize the psychological, sociocultural, physiological, developmental, and spiritual health dilemmas experienced by these women. Furthermore, civil organizations that meet Thai women in foreign countries, such as Buddhist cultural associations, would benefit from the multicultural knowledge revealed by the present study. This knowledge can facilitate healthcare and welfare support for women in marriage migration situations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Muslim jurists have analyzed the prohibitions for a marriage contract under two categories: permanent and temporary. Permanent prohibitions on marriage are divided into three categories: blood, milk siblinghood and consanguinity. There is no dispute among the jurists about the prohibition of blood and milk siblinghood, but there is a dispute about kinship by marriage. This kinship arising from the marriage between the parties is referred to in classical fiqh literature as the intimacy of kinship (hurmat-i musāhara). In this context, it has been a matter of debate among jurists whether adultery, like marriage, requires a prohibition of marriage. The history of this debate goes back to the Companions, the tāâbiīîn and the taba-i tābiīn. This issue, which was a matter of debate among the first three generations, was also debated among the imams of the fiqh schools. Thus, two views have emerged in the doctrine regarding the problem of whether adultery requires hurmat al-musāhara. According to the first view, which is held by the majority of Hanafis, Hanbalis and Shi'a jurists, adultery requires hurmat al-musāharah. According to the second view, advocated by the Shafi'is, Malikis, Zahiris, and Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, hurmat al-musahara is not established by adultery. In this case, it is permissible for the parties to marry each other's usūl and furu. In classical fiqh sources, the question of whether it is halal to marry the daughter of adultery is discussed in connection with this issue. According to the jurists who hold that adultery entails the intimacy of consanguinity, it is forbidden for the adulterer to marry his daughter of adultery. According to the jurists who hold this view, sexual intercourse requires prohibition, regardless of whether it is through lawful means, such as nikah, or unlawful means, such as fornication (zina). According to them, in this case, it is the child itself, not the adultery, that requires the intimacy of kinship. Therefore, the cause/sexual intercourse has replaced the causative agent/child. These opinion holders have argued that the existence of the link of juz'iyyah between the adulterer and the daughter resulting from adultery is a proper cause for prohibition. This is because a doubt functions as truth when it comes to necessitating haram. According to the jurists who hold that adultery does not require the intimacy of kinship, it is makrooh but permissible for the adulterer to marry the daughter of adultery. The jurists who hold this view point to the absence of any verse or hadith on the subject, as well as the difference between adultery and nikah. Accordingly, even though the progeny of the daughter resulting from adultery exists by the mother/mazniyahe, the progeny is not considered valid by the adulterous man/zâni. Therefore, there is no juz'iyyah link between the adulterer and the girl who is the product of adultery. The jurists who hold this view have stated that juz'iyyah is not a proper cause for prohibition. One of their main points is that the rulings that are established by marriage, such as linkage and maintenance payment, are not established by adultery. The main purpose of this study is to justify Shafi'i's view that adultery does not require hurmat al-musāharah. As far as we have been able to determine, there is no specific study on the justification of Shafi'i's view on this issue. In addition, it is possible to say that there is no study on how this view defended by Shafi'i was interpreted within the Shafi’i school and what the approaches of Shi'i and Zahiri jurists were on the subject. This study first examines the opinions and justifications of the jurists on whether adultery requires hurmat al-musāharah or not. Then, the opinions and justifications of Shafi'i and Shafi'i jurists on the subject were mentioned, and in this respect, the logic of fiqh defended by Shafi'i was tried to be revealed. The opinions and justifications on the subject were analyzed based on the main fiqh works of each school. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research represents one of the three research axes of the doctoral thesis entitled "The Creation Of Chatbots For A French Foreign Language Class: Contributions And Limitations". Through this axis, we observed whether a significant change occurs with the use of Chatbots in the learning of French as a Foreign Language, particularly in relation to the concept of the linguistic other, a central notion within the framework of the action-oriented approach. In this article, we also presented the opinions of the learners regarding the use of the mentioned Chatbots. We created a total of eight Chatbots based on decision tree logic, incorporating objectives related to written expression at the targeted level--specifically, level B1+ derived from the complementary volume of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) (2020). A descriptive qualitative study was employed to achieve the objectives of this research. To carry out our research, we implemented the development research method. The study took place during the spring semester of the academic year 2021-2022 and was limited to level B1+, involving 12 learners who chose the written expression course in the second semester of the first year of the Bachelor's program in the Department of French as a Foreign Language at the Faculty of Education of Anadolu University. According to the research results, we can observe that the vast majority of learners were satisfied with the use of Artificial Intelligence, specifically Chatbots, in their courses. The sense of reality, particularly the perception of correspondence with the Other, a francophone in our case, was strong enough to ensure a certain natural aspect of the conversation.

The article also discusses the ways in which their relationship challenged and reinforced traditional ideas of masculinity. It provides a nuanced perspective on the complex dynamics between these two leaders and their impact on global politics. [Extracted from the article]

Objective: This study will examine the role of childhood experience of parental divorce on later perinatal depression and parenting stress. Methods: 546 women were recruited at less than 20 weeks pregnancy into an ongoing pregnancy cohort study and followed up in pregnancy and the postpartum. Depression at recruitment was measured using the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale repeated in pregnancy and the postpartum. Parenting stress was measured at 12 months postpartum using Parenting Stress Index. Results: This study found 33% of women had experienced parental divorce. While we did not find a statistically significant relationship between the experience of parental divorce and perinatal depression, there was a higher rate of perinatal depression when parental divorce occured at a younger age. There was no association with parental divorce and parenting stress. Childhood divorce was significantly associated with other adverse childhood experiences. Conclusions: Our findings did not support an impact of parental divorce on either maternal perinatal depression or on parenting stress, suggesting the experience of parental divorce for children may not inevitably impact their later experiences as parents. Further research on the association with age of parental divorce and later perinatal mental health is warranted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Theories of risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB) implicate both interpersonal and biological factors. Divorce/separation and aggregate genetic liability are robustly associated with STB, but have seldom been evaluated in conjunction with one another. Furthermore, whether these factors are effective predictors in high-risk populations is not clear. Analyses were conducted in a sample of Han Chinese women with severe recurrent major depressive disorder (maximum N = 4380). Logistic regressions were used to evaluate the associations between divorce/separation and polygenic scores (PGS) for suicidal ideation or behavior with STB. Where appropriate, additive interactions between divorce and PGS were tested. Divorce/separation was significantly associated with increased risk of suicidal ideation, plans, and attempts (odds ratios = 1.28–1.61). PGS for suicidal ideation were not associated with STB, while PGS for suicidal behavior were associated with ideation and plans (odds ratios = 1.08–1.09). There were no significant interactions between divorce/separation and PGS. Consistent with theories of suicidality, the disruption or end of an important interpersonal relationship is an indicator of risk for STB. Aggregate genetic liability for suicidal behavior more modestly contributes to risk, but does not exacerbate the negative impact of divorce. Thus, even within a high-risk sample, interpersonal and biological exposures distinguish between those who do and do not experience STB, and could motivate targeted screening. Further research is necessary to evaluate whether and how the context of divorce contributes to variation in its effect on STB risk. • Divorce and genetic liability increase risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. • Genetic liability does not exacerbate the effect of divorce on risk. • Even in a high risk sample, variation in genetic liability matters.

The sexual imagination hypothesis predicts that gender differences in jealousy emerge from the differences in explicit imagination between men and women. In particular, men strongly respond to partners' sexual infidelity because they can imagine sexual stimuli explicitly. In contrast, women strongly respond to emotional infidelity because they can effortlessly envision emotional infidelity. We hypothesised that higher sexual and romantic imaginations were associated with greater distress over partners' sexual and emotional infidelity, respectively. Participants (226 women and 135 men) answered questions regarding experiences with personal sexual and emotional infidelity and the degree of distress they felt over their partners' sexual and emotional infidelity. They completed the scales for sexual and romantic imaginations. Multiple regression analyses showed that the sexual imagination hypothesis provided a unique explanation for gender differences in jealousy beyond the effects of gender, including relationship experience and experiences with personal sexual and emotional infidelity. Additionally, individuals with relationship experience and experiences with personal sexual and emotional infidelity reported higher sexual and romantic imaginations than those without such experiences. Furthermore, our findings imply that responses to partners' infidelity, considering gender, are more similar than different. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
