The Sengol in India’s New Parliament is a Secular Symbol with Profound Historical and Heritage Significance | Chapter 11 | Recent Trends in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 5

This study aims to find literature and historical evidence proving that Sengol (Sceptre) in India's new parliament is a Secular symbol with profound cultural and heritage significance. There is mixed and confusing information about Sengol being given to the first Indian Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, as a token of power transfer from the colonial master to India. Some media outlets, historians, and political parties claimed that this important historical event was Bogus. This historical power transfer event must occur when each government changes right after the election. Somehow, this historical event is forgotten or hidden from the public, and the Sengol ends up in the museum as a walking stick of the first prime minister since the independence of India. The current BJP government found this historical mistake. Prime Minister Modi took corrective action to restore the rich heritage and value by installing Sengol next to the speaker in the new parliament. This research intends to verify the forgotten historical events and confusion about the religious and monarch links surrounding Sengol and bring light to the public. This paper makes a comprehensive study to find the historical evidence of the event, make heritage, literature, and secular assessments, including other heritage literature assessments, and bring light to the seventy-five years of hidden history. The significant historical, heritage, scientific, and secular findings would benefit society and the future generation. This is the first research paper to address all these parameters comprehensively. Therefore, this research finding is original, not repetitive, historical, and ground-breaking in history, culture, heritage, social science, and political science. This paper will be helpful for academics, researchers, governments, cultural institutions, and society.

Religion and Contraceptive use among Sexually Active Adolescent Girls in Kenya | Chapter 09 | New Horizons in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 10

 The goal of this study was to see if religious affiliation was linked to the use of contemporary contraception among Kenyan sexually active adolescent females.

According to the Kenya Demographic Health Survey (KDHS) from 2014, half of Kenyan women aged 20 to 49 had their first sexual encounter before the age of 18. Early sexual activity has been associated to unfavourable health outcomes such as unwanted adolescent pregnancies, STIs, and cervical cancer. One in every five adolescent girls aged 15 to 19 is either pregnant or has given birth to a living kid. A cross-sectional study technique was used to undertake secondary analysis of the Kenyan DHS 2014 female dataset. The research included 732 sexually active teenage girls aged 15 to 19. The key outcome measure was the current use of a modern contraceptive method. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed by the researchers. The sample probabilities were modified for all computations 30.2 percent of sexually active adolescent females said they were currently using contemporary contraception. 30.7 percent of Christians and 21.1 percent of Muslims used modern contraception at the time of the survey.

In Kenya, the prevalence of contemporary contraception (CPR) among sexually active teenage girls aged 15 to 19 was low. Adolescents of many religions used contemporary contraceptives in the same way.

The Relationship between Fasting and Obesity | Chapter 13 | Emerging Trends in Disease and Health Research Vol. 6

 The goal of this study was to see if there was a link between eating habits perceptions and obesity in Egypt during Ramadan. In 2015, data was obtained using a cross-sectional paper and pencil survey of people aged 18 and up in Egypt's Assiut Governorate. The dependent variable was obesity, as measured by the body mass index. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to fit the data. Individuals with poor religious orthodoxy had higher risks of obesity than those with moderate orthodoxy (AOR = 1.52, CI = 1.10, 2.09), and Ramadan eating habits were substantially associated with an opinion regarding obesity (AOR = 3.82, CI = 2.91, 5.00). The new study has made a significant contribution to our understanding of obesity by looking at how religious doctrine is understood and interpreted. This strategy is expected to be used in future studies on obesity and other health effects.

Religious Attitudes in Adolescents with Obsessive Compulsive Symptoms (OCS) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) | Chapter 13 | Challenges in Disease and Health Research Vol. 6

 Background: According to mental health professionals, obsessive compulsive symptoms are becoming more common in children and adolescents. As a secondary research goal, our epidemiology study will estimate the prevalence of obsessive symptoms and obsessive compulsive disorder among secondary school students. The study was conducted on 1299 secondary school students in a cross-sectional design, with an adequate sample size estimated based on a literature prevalence of 2% for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Each of Alexandria Governorate's three educational zones received an equal number of samples. The Lyeton obsessive inventory child LOICV, the Arabic version that has been validated and tested for reliability in Egyptian culture, was used to assess obsessive compulsive symptoms. Those who scored 35 or higher were subjected to the MINI-KID Arabic International Neuropsychiatric Interview for Children. Patients with OCD had their diagnosis confirmed by a psychiatric interview to ensure they met the DSM IV –TR criteria for OCD. A validated self-report questionnaire was used to assess religious attitudes. Results: Among the studied sample (n=1299), 201 students scored greater than 35 on the LOI-CV, indicating that 15.5 percent of the total sample has OCS. The prevalence of OCD in the studied sample was 2.2 percent, with 29 students from the OCS meeting DSM-IV TR diagnostic criteria for OCD. Adolescents with obsessive compulsive disorder OCD and obsessive compulsive symptoms OCS had religious practicing attitudes of 93.1 percent and 79.6 percent, with no difference (X2=0.07). Conclusion: Obsessive symptoms are common in adolescents; this finding emphasizes the importance of public awareness and adolescent screening for early detection and management. The religious attitudes of teenagers with obsessive compulsive disorder or just obsessive compulsive symptoms were not significantly different. The phenomenology of obsessions and compulsions, rather than their prevalence in the population, may be influenced by religious order and upbringing.

A Brief Discussion: Me, Religion and Culture | Chapter 10 | New Horizons in Education and Social Studies Vol. 6

 The spiritual realm that envelops us, me-the creative person, religion-the uncontainable cosmos, and culture-is the triad that guides the essay. Religion and culture reflect certain soft human dimensions that rationalists such as economists and politicians generally do not investigate. Human beings, who are the initiators and the motivators of such systems, carry out all superhuman systems of faith and worship. Individuality is imperative because imagination and innovation are conceived. As long as it maintains a complex balance between personal rights, duties and responsibilities, it should be promoted. The negative opinion of Marx on religion is rejected because it is clear that religion was and still is a critical response to very ancient human needs. People have been in search of mysteries, unhuman incidents and disastrous occurrences since the early days of civilization. The proper response was found to be God and his postulates. A key component of any social system is culture, which is the expression of human physical and spiritual achievement. It is also mistreated because it is intangible and is concerned with values other than money. Culture must begin at home, before looking to global arenas, to ensure progress and further expansion. Its advocates must learn to deal with the new risks that have arisen from the rapid development of technology. Today's world is shifting. Nothing is certain in the Post-modern period of the 21st Century. The only known thing at present is confusion. This condition allows religious individuals to pursue redemption from God and non-religious persons to promote escapism. Laypersons and talented individuals are split into people who are imaginative, reckless and egotistic. In this extraordinary transformation, which often looks like a revolt, both classes, the everlasting worshipers of religion, the advocates of multifaceted culture and the general public participate. The article concludes with a positive outlook and a hope that the Western Civilization will recover the leadership position of its world, provided the requisite restoration measures are taken.
