Self-efficacy and Use of Digital Health Care and Social Welfare Services Among Incarcerated People: Cross-sectional Survey Study (Preprint)
Authors: Rantanen Teemu , Järveläinen Eeva , Leppälahti Teppo
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND

The digitization of health care and social welfare services creates many opportunities for the rehabilitation of incarcerated people and their preparation for release from prison. A range of digital platforms and technology solutions have been developed that offer multiple opportunities to handle private matters either by video conference, email, or some other digital format during imprisonment. However, incarcerated people have limited access to digital health care and social welfare services, and face challenges related to shortcomings in their digital skills and self-efficacy.

OBJECTIVE

This article assessed the significance of incarcerated people’s self-efficacy in terms of their sense of control over the use of digital health care and social welfare services.

METHODS

A cross-sectional study was conducted using a questionnaire. Research data were collected from 11 prisons in different parts of Finland, and a total of 225 incarcerated people responded to the survey. Statistical analyses were conducted using the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, 2-tailed t test, linear regression analysis, and Hayes bootstrapping method.

RESULTS

The results showed the significance of both general and internet-specific self-efficacy, which appear to be more important for the use of digital health care and social welfare services than factors related to a person’s socioeconomic background or sentence. Age was negatively correlated with perceived control over the use of digital health care and social welfare services. Furthermore, the study emphasized the importance of support from family and friends, as well as prison employees.

CONCLUSIONS

The digitalization of prisons offers many opportunities, but special consideration should be given to how the digitization of health care and social welfare services responds to the needs of incarcerated people in terms of their integration into society and the prevention of recidivism. During imprisonment, attention should be paid to strengthening the digital skills of incarcerated people, with support provided by prison employees. In addition to providing guidance on the use of individual digital services, the study recommends strengthening the general digital skills of incarcerated people, as well as developing their life management skills.
Oversight of artificial intelligence in medicine: A review of frameworks (Preprint)
Authors: MHS Norah , Elsaid Mohamed , Paskett Jonathan , Bose-Brill Seuli , Bridges John F P
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly expanding in medicine even while lacking formal oversight.

OBJECTIVE

We sought to identify and describe considerations for the oversight of AI in medicine. We also explored where along the translational process (i.e., AI development, reporting, evaluation, implementation, and surveillance) these considerations were targeted.

METHODS

We conducted a targeted review of frameworks for the oversight of AI in medicine. The search included key topics such as ‘artificial intelligence,’ ‘machine learning’, ‘guidance as topic’, ‘translational science’, ‘medical device legislation’, and ‘evaluation study,’ and spanned the time period 2014-2021. Frameworks were included if they described translational considerations for AI. The included frameworks were summarized descriptively. Content analysis was used to identify considerations for the oversight of AI in medicine. An evaluation matrix methodology was used to map each consideration across the different translational stages for each framework.

RESULTS

Six frameworks were featured in the review and included peer reviewed and white papers from consortium and professional organizations. Content analysis of the frameworks revealed five overarching considerations related to the oversight of AI in medicine, including: transparency, reproducibility, ethics, effectiveness, and engagement. All frameworks included discussions regarding transparency, reproducibility, ethics, and effectiveness, while only half of frameworks discussed engagement. The evaluation matrix revealed that frameworks were most likely to report AI considerations for the translational stage of development, and least likely to report considerations for the translational stage of surveillance.

CONCLUSIONS

Frameworks provided broad guidance for the oversight of AI in medicine, but notably offered less input on the role engagement approaches for oversight, and regarding the translational stage of surveillance. Identifying and optimizing strategies for engagement is essential to ensure that AI can meaningfully benefit patients and other end-users.

EKONOMSKO-FINANSIJSKA USLOVLJENOST LIBERALNO-DEMOKRATSKOG PORETKA
Authors: Bodrozic Djuro
Published: January 2022

U radu ukazujemo na međuzavisnost ekonomskih struktura i političkih institucija, vezanih za liberalno-demokratsku državu. Uočljivo je da je funkcionisanje političkih institucija u okviru liberalno-demokratskog poretka na Zapadu uslovljeno odgovarajućim stepenom društvenog bogatstva, obrazovnim stepenom stanovništva, kao i odsustvom centrifugalnih društvenih sila koje bi mogle dovesti u pitanje sam opstanak države. Države koje su posegnule za uvođenjem zapadnjačkih modela i institucija, previđajući ove činjenice, platile su cenu. Glavni regulator, nerv privrednog i društvenog života, jeste novac. Liberalna država iznašla je mehanizme, od podele vlasti do nezavisnosti sudova, koji će onemogućiti imaoca političke moći da pribavi i ekonomsku moć. Nema mehanizma koji bi delovali u suprotnom pravcu, koji bi sprečio finansijsku oligarhiju da putem novca preuzme i političku moć u državi, podređujući je svojim interesima. Dajemo istorijsku retrospektivu i savremene tendencije vezane za odnos političke i ekonomske moći.
POBUNE NA GLOBALNOJ PERIFERIJI KAO TEMPORALNA SUSPENZIJA NEOLIBERALNOG PORETKA
Authors: Korac Srdjan
Published: January 2022

Rad analizira fenomen pobuna na globalnoj periferiji kao nasilne događaje koji narušavaju prostornu logiku i epistemičku izvesnost planetarnog demokratskog mira i dovode do temporalne suspenzije neoliberalnog poretka. Autor nastoji da dokaže pretpostavku da je u ranom 21. veku imperativ delotvorne kontrole nad neupravljivim zonama globalne periferije u suštinskoj koliziji sa instrumentalnošću rata uzetog u vidu vojnog intervencionizma. Teorijsko polazište analize smešteno je u području kritičke teorije međunarodnih odnosa i kritičkih studija rata, a posebno u stanovištu da rat proističe iz i ujedno reprodukuje dinamiku odnosa hijerarhije i potčinjenosti na globalnom nivou, jer je izmešten van civilizacijskih granica Zapada i usmeren na regulisanje neupravljivih planetarnih zona. Analiza se usredsređuje na podršku lokalnog stanovništva pobunjeničkim snagama, kriminalnom preduzetništvu kao izvoru finansiranja pobune, porozne granice između uloga civila i borca, tehnološke i taktičke strane pobunjeničkih akcija, te efikasnosti tih akcija kao pet pokazatelja na kojima se proverava teza o svojstvu beskonačnosti pobuna na globalnoj periferiji kao remetilačkom činiocu delotvornosti politike njihovog suzbijanja. Autor zaključuje da nesvrsishodnost suzbijanja beskonačnih pobuna na globalnoj periferiji drastično umanjuje upotrebnu vrednost rata kao sredstva imperijalne spoljne politike, tačnije instrumentalnost kaznenih ekspedicija u kontekstu očuvanja neoliberalnog kontinuuma proizvodnje i svetske trgovine.
ISTORIJSKI PREGLED DEMOGRAFSKIH TENDENCIJA SRPSKOG NARODA
Authors: Antic Cedomir , Nikolic Goran
Published: January 2022

Ovaj članak posvećen je u literaturi više puta ponovljenim tezama prema kojima je srpsko stanovništvo tokom poznog srednjeg veka bilo jednako brojno kao narodi pojedinih zapadoevropskih država, nakon čega je posledicom ratova, seoba i asimilacije do savremenog doba postalo višestruko malobrojnije od njih. Analizirajući poznate podatke o brojnosti stanovništva Srbije i srpskih zemalja, te balkanskih i zapadnoevropskih društava, tokom prethodnih hiljadu godina, došli smo do nešto drugačijih zaključaka koji su uporedno predstavljeni u ovom radu.
EVROPSKE INTEGRACIJE REPUBLIKE SRBIJE – IZMEĐU POLITIKE PROŠIRENJA I ZAJEDNIČKE SPOLJNE I BEZBEDNOSNE POLITIKE
Authors: Stankovic Nevena
Published: January 2022

Promenjene tendencije evropske integracije u periodu nakon Hladnog rata, odrazile su se politiku proširenja Evropske unije (EU), shodno izmenjenoj klimi u kojoj se ona odvijala. Izmenjen karakter politike proširenja, izložene dejstvu velikog broja združenih faktora, naročito su osetile države Zapadnog Balkana što je u krajnjem rezultiralo i novim pregovaračkim pristupom EU za države ovog regina. Iako je aspekta evropskih integracija, koordinacija politike proširenja i Zajedničke spoljne i bezbednosne politike (ZSBP) neophodna, preplitanje ove dve politike postaje sve očiglednije. U tom sislu, može se primetiti postepeno stavljanje politike proširenja u službu ZSBP, čime ona dobija dominantno geopolitički karaker. Ovo se najbolje očituje na primeru evropskih integracija Republike Srbije, koja sa EU, među državama Zapadnog Balkana ima najsloženiji odnos. Kako je pristupanje Republike Srbije Evropskoj uniji njen strateški prioritet i tekući proces, Srbija je u obavezi da se u sklopu uklađivanja svojih politika sa aquis communitare, uskladi i sa spoljnom politikom EU. U usklađivanju spoljne politike Srbije i ZSBP, poseban značaj je dat pregovaračkom poglavlju 35, u okviru koga napravljena je direktna veza između napretka Srbije u procesu evropskih integracija i tzv. sveobuhvatne normalizacije odnosa između Beograda i vlasti u Prištini. U radu se ispituje da li je u svetlu trenutnih okolnosti i izmenjenog konteksta politike proširenja, Srbija u stanju da ostvari stateški prioritet svoje spoljne politike, članstvo u EU. Osnovna hipoteza od koje se u radu polazi je da što su uslovi evropske politike proširenja strožiji, manji je manevarski prostor Srbije za sprovođenje svojih spoljnopolitičkih prioriteta. Posledično, sa napretkom Srbije u ipunjavanju uslova iz pregovaračkog poglavlja 35, spoljnopolitička orjentacija Srbije mogla bi doći u sukob sa ustavnim poretkom i nacionalnim interesima, posebno u delu koji se odnosi na očuvanje teritorijalnog integriteta.
Soft separation axioms and functions with soft closed graphs
Authors: Khalaf Alias B. , Ahmed Nehmat K. , Hamko Qumri H.
Published: January 2022

Several notions on soft topology are studied and their basic properties are investigated by using the concept of soft open sets and soft closure operators which are derived from the basics of soft set theory established by Molodtsov [7]. In this paper we introduce some soft separation axioms called Soft R0 and soft R1 in soft topological spaces which are defined over an initial universe with a fixed set of parameters. Many characterizations and properties of these spaces are found. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a soft topological space to be a soft Ri for i = 0, 1 space are also presented. Furthermore, the concept of functions with soft closed graph and soft cluster sets are defined. Many results on theses two concepts are proved also it is proved that a function has a soft closed graph if and only if its soft cluster set is degenerate.

An extension of biconservative timelike hypersurfaces in Einstein space
Authors: Pashaie Firooz
Published: January 2022

A well-known conjecture of Bang-Yen Chen says that the only biharmonic Euclidean submanifolds are minimal ones, which affirmed by himself for surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean space, E³. We consider an extended version of Chen conjecture (namely, Lk-conjecture) on Lorentzian hypersurfaces of the pseudo-Euclidean space E⁴₁ (i.e. the Einstein space). The biconservative submanifolds in the Euclidean spaces are submanifolds with conservative stress-energy with respect to the bienergy functional. In this paper, we consider an extended condition (namely, Lk-biconservativity) on non-degenerate timelike hypersurfaces of the Einstein space E⁴₁ . A Lorentzian hypersurface x : M³₁ → E⁴₁ is called Lk-biconservative if the tangent part of L²k x vanishes identically. We show that Lk-biconservativity of a timelike hypersurface of E⁴₁ (with constant kth mean curvature and some additional conditions) implies that its (k + 1) th mean curvature is constant.

Published: January 2022

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences between the electroencephalography (EEG) power spectral analysis and saccadic eye movements (SEM)’s the response toward true and false information. The research method was conducted using an experimental design with true and false autobiographical information as stimuli. There were23 female participants aged between 19-24 years old (M=21,45; SD=1,5). The results showed a significant difference in the number of SEM between false information and true information. The EEG power is greater in the frontal, temporal and central areas for false information. Interestingly, we found a correlation between EEG power and SEM in detecting true and false information. Our result findings indicated evidence of multimodality by combining electroencephalography (EEG) and saccadic eye movement (SEM) to dissociate false and true information responses. The distinct dissociative process between true and false information can be used for memory studies and developing lie detectors.

Juveniles are also involved in behaviors that violate the law, such as in cases of sexual violence. This study aims to describe the experiences of mothers whose children are perpetrators of sexual violence. The study used a qualitative phenomenological method. Five mothers of a sexual offender charged by the juvenile court participated in this study. They were interviewed about their parenting experiences using in-depth interviews. The data were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Thirteen subordinate themes were found and grouped into three superordinate themes, including (1) feeling like a mother, (2) role of mothers, (3) maternal sense of competence. The mothers of juvenile sexual offenders perceived that they had failed as parents and that parenting competence was lacking. They considered peer influence and uninvolved partners in parenting practice as the source of difficulties in managing their child’s problematic behavior.

Subjective career success is an attitude regarding an individual’s achievement and satisfaction with their career resulting from a personal evaluation of their career experience. Subjective career success has eight dimensions: recognition, quality work, meaningful work, influence, authenticity, personal life, growth and development, and satisfaction. Subjective Career Success Inventory – SCSI (Subjective Career Success Questionnaire) has 24 items. The use of instruments at different cultural backgrounds requires an adaptation process so that the measurement results are valid and reliable, but until now, there has been no research on the adaptation of subjective career success measurement tools in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to obtain a standardized subjective career success measurement tool. The adaptation process was carried out using the International Test Commission reference in2016. Based on the results of the CFA analysis of the LISREL 8.8 program, it can be concluded that according to theory, subjective career success models have a good fit model. This means that the zero hypotheses that state the subjective career success model of the goodness of fit are acceptable. This explains that the resulting model can describe actual conditions and can be used to measure subjective career success.

Published: January 2022

Low income earning workers such as the teachers in the public secondary schools, are faced with varying categories of financial risk which cannot e alleviated without the help of some other social arrangement such as micro-insurance schemes. However, these scheme has not been well accepted among the teachers. The study however, looked at the reasons for the low acceptability. A stratified simple random sampling technique was used to collect data from a sample of 384 secondary school teachers in Lagos state, using regression analysis techniques. Adequate knowledge and well structured products designs of the micro-insurance products does not influence the acceptability of the products among the teachers. The study result however, shows that not making the products compulsory is the major factor that influence the acceptability among the teachers.

Este artículo se refiere al documental “La Caja de Arriba del Ropero”. Su realizadora analiza y comparte reflexiones sobre la fotografía. Las imágenes son construcciones ideológicas que tienen que ver con su momento histórico, en este caso es un fotógrafo quien deja un legado, aunque las narradoras en la película y las que conservan el patrimonio, son todas mujeres. Pero además una película es un viaje en el tiempo y en ese hace un recorrido por episodios de la vida de Juan Pi, el fotógrafo que retrató San Rafael desde el momento en que llegó el tren a esa ciudad de Mendoza (Argentina). El viaje al pasado, va hasta la etapa prehispánica en esa zona, describiendo lo que en las fotos se omite, la ocupación de tierras, la campaña de exterminio de nativos. La construcción de un fortín como maquinaria que terminó por desterrar de las ciudades, a los pueblos nativos. Finalmente destaca la participación como mediadora, de una mujer del pueblo Pehuenche, La Cacica María Josefa Roco.

En segundo lugar, el grupo es testimonio de la confrontación entre un modelo, que, de alguna manera, "avala la norma" en la arquitectura espacial, formal y funcional del movimiento moderno incorporando nuevos materiales, técnicas industrializadas, elementos estandarizados y las propuestas del urbanismo moderno. movimiento, que están incrustados en un complejo que ejemplifica la agrupación libre y el uso de elementos modulares como principios de composición urbana del movimiento moderno, y de otra manera "representa una licencia" en la ejecución de un proyecto que no solo incorpora el metal como elemento de diseño, desde la estructuración y la construcción, pero esta innovación se convierte en una herramienta para concretar una manera eficiente y clara de materializar los principios del movimiento moderno.
Elías Canales Díaz y la carpintería fina en Valparaíso durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX
Authors: Olfos Vargas Fidel
Published: January 2022

Desde hacía años que Marcela veía la dedicación con que su abuelo, Elías Canales Díaz, trabajaba en su taller de carpintería en el Barrio O’Higgins, Valparaíso. Quien fuese la inspiración, “con olor a madera”, que la llevó a estudiar la Arquitectura, patrimonio tangible que refleja el espíritu de sus habitantes. He aquí, donde este noble material, proveniente de distintos rincones del planeta, confluyó para levantar edificios tan bellos como los del viejo continente. Don Elías es parte de una generación que vivió los que quizás fueron los últimos años de esplendor de esta ciudad-puerto a mediados del Siglo XX, cuando con la llegada a Chile de inmigrantes alemanes y españoles, empresarios habidos de conocimiento y esplendidas maquinarias, se establecieron en El Almendral. A su llegada ven el potencial humano de los pobladores de estos cerros encumbrados, formados en la tradición constructiva del trabajo fino que requieren las herramientas manuales, pero adaptados a una forma de vida dura, exigida por el propio mérito de levantar construcciones en las laderas empinadas. No tardaron en capacitarse, reconociendo el aporte de las máquinas y herramientas eléctricas a su oficio, viendo en este proceso la posibilidad de convertirse en “pequeños industriales”
Nociones de patrimonio
Authors: Soto S. Maximiliano
Published: January 2022

El gusto por el pasado suele manifestarse a través de una tendencia a materializar lo desaparecido, lo derruido contenido, por ejemplo, en construcciones que aún muestran rasgos de un periodo anterior o en tradiciones que congregan reuniones familiares y comunitarias para hablar de otros tiempos y de cómo se practicaban antes las cosas. Una tendencia que en muchos casos se traduce por un culto del patrimonio que busca rescatar, proteger y conservar bienes y prácticas culturales. Proceso que ha venido acrecentándose desde comienzos de la década de 1980, y que ha influido en la conceptualización, así como en el debate y la reconfiguración a escala mundial de lo que se entiende por patrimonio. En el presente artículo, exploraremos la noción de patrimonio que se estructuró a lo largo del siglo XX, y hasta la fecha, a partir de documentos y debates circunscritos al ámbito de las políticas de organismos internacionales como la OIM, el ICOMOS, la Unesco y el Consejo de Europa. Un discurso estructurante que ha reconfigurado la noción de patrimonio hacia una comunidad patrimonial, concepto clave a revisar en el contexto de la ciudad de Valparaíso, Chile, y en relación al rol de la Universidad.
Monsters in Law: una lectura de Ester, de Jean Racine
Authors: Trujillo Silva Joaquín
Published: January 2022

El ensayo revisa en los diálogos-no-filosóficos la aparición de los monstruos en contextos normativos (moral en Racine; social en Ibsen y político en Brecht) (secciones 1, 2, 3). En su sección principal (4), explora cómo es que en la “tragedia” Esther, de Jean Racine, el monstruo aparece al menos como soberano y como consejero del soberano. Concluye que, a través de su propuesta de diálogo, Jean Racine intenta influir sobre el soberano mediante su segunda esposa, tal como Mardoqueo lo había hecho a través de la reina Ester, en el libro del Tanaj hebreo.

Authors: B. Hansda  , G. Mahato  , A. Bera  , N. Banerjee
Published: January 2022

Since early ancient period human being are searching for new drugs with better therapeutic potentials. Traditional medicines are very important because it provide the right direction to the researcher to discover new plant based products against some specific problem and the knowledge has been passed through generation after generation. Curculigo orchioides Gaertn.and Asparagus racemosus Willd. both plants have immune stimulatory properties and are widely used by traditional healers for the treatment of various diseases. The main aim of the present study is to identify the secondary metabolites found in methanolic root extracts of C. orchioides and A. racemosus. Extraction was carried out through standard procedures and the analysis of plant extracts was carried out by using LC-ESI-MS/MS technique in positive and/or negative ionization mode. LC MS study tentatively identified 15 and 19 secondary metabolites from Curculigo orchioides and Asparagus racemosus respectively. Amongst these some were simple phenolic acids such as caffeic acid, quinic acid, p-coumaric acid, sinapic acid, protocatechuic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid and vanillic acid. Some others were phenolic acid esters such as chlorogenic acid, di caffeoylquinic acid, p-coumaroyl quinic acid and some flavonoids such as quercetin, rutin, kaempferol, catechin and apigenin were also tentatively identified. Two phenolics caffeic acid and caffeoyl hexoside were further confirmed by MS MS study. This study supports the ethnobotanical claims done by traditional healers of Purulia and Midnapore districts. Characterized phytochemicals were mainly phenolic and flavonoid compounds. Assured levels of phenolics along with other plant constituents in the studied plants supports the ethnobotanical claim done by traditional healers. Further research is needed on structural analysis and bioactivity assay of the identified compounds.
Impact of Metabolic Regulation in Understanding the Status of Human Health and Diseases: A Review

Published: January 2022

The concept of metabolic regulations deals with the varied and innumerable metabolic pathways that are present in the human body. A combination of such metabolic reactions paves the way for the proper functioning of different physiological and biological functions. Dealing with the adversities of a disease, engineering of novel metabolic pathways showcase the potential of metabolic engineering and its applications in the therapeutic treatment of diseases. A proper and deeper understanding of the metabolic functions in the human body can be known from gut-microflora and simulated yeast models. At molecular level, the metabolic regulation works mainly by modulation of the activities of the enzyme. This gives a brief understanding about the interactions between the molecular set of metabolomes and its complexity. The idea of model simulation can help us to draw some possible hypotheses regarding how different the components of a certain pathway are connected. Introduction of engineered microorganisms into the gut might bring about the required variation in the microbiota, thereby inducing them to express certain biomarkers specific to certain microbial groups forming a basis for disease diagnosis and pathogenesis. Since the metabolic homeostasis and observable phenotype are linked to each other, metabolism can be used as a diagnostic of the phenotype. The present review, therefore, focuses on the importance of both the gut-microbiota and yeast model in improving our understanding about the metabolic regulations involved in human health and disease.

Orthodontists face difficulty when it comes to treating Class III malocclusion. It is best to treat it at the growing stage with dentofacial orthopedics. Maxillary protraction using the Alternate Rapid Maxillary Expansion and Contraction (Alt-RAME) technique is an effective approach for treating skeletal Class III malocclusion at an early age. A 9-year-old female patient came to the Department of Orthodontics with a complaint of backwardly placed upper teeth and un-aesthetic dental as well as facial appearance. Intraoral examination revealed an anterior cross-bite of 1 mm. Molar relation was class III on the right side and super Class I on the left side. Slight crowding in lower arch and spacing in maxillary arch due to unerupted teeth was seen. The patient was diagnosed with Class III skeletal pattern associated with maxillary retrusion, average growth pattern, Class III molar relation on right side, super Class I molar relation on left side and a protrusive lower lip. The early treatment of such cases is essential, so that maxillary retrusion can be corrected with the help of orthopedic intervention. It was decided that the correction of skeletal Class III malocclusion will be done using Alt-RAMEC protocol along with facemask. Use of Alt-RAMEC protocol for correction of Class III malocclusion due to maxillary retrusion can help in early correction of Class III skeletal pattern and helps improving overall profile of the patient. This case report shows the result of using a hyrax bonded maxillary expander with Alt-RAMEC protocol along with a facemask to treat a Class III malocclusion associated with maxillary hypoplasia. A 9-year-old patient with skeletal class III malocclusion and anterior crossbite was treated using this protocol.

Disentangling the roles of inter and intraspecific variation on leaf trait distributions across the eastern United States
Authors: Marconi Sergio , Weinstein Ben , Lichstein Jeremy , Bohlman Stephanie , Singh Aditya , White Ethan
Published: January 2022

Functional traits are influenced by phylogenetic constraints and
environmental conditions, but previous large-scale studies modeled
traits either as species weighted averages or directly from the
environment, precluding analyses of the relative contributions of inter-
and intraspecific variation across regions. We developed a joint model
integrating phylogenetic and environmental information to understand and
predict the distribution of eight leaf traits across the eastern US.
This model explained 68% of trait variation, outperforming both
species-only and environment-only models, with variance attributable to
species alone (23%), the environment alone (13%), and their
overlapping effects (25%). The importance of the two drivers varied by
trait. Predictions for the eastern US produced accurate estimates of
intraspecific variation and deviated from both species-only and
environment-only models. Predictions revealed that intraspecific
variation holds information across scales, affects relationships in the
leaf economic spectrum and is key for interpreting trait distributions
and ecosystem processes within and across ecoregions.
The Almajiri Phenomenon in Northern Nigeria and the Rights of Children in Islam

Published: January 2022

Almajiri phenomenon which was once an approved and acceptable way to acquiring Islamic knowledge in the past has regrettably become a matter of sad concern for the North and the Nigerian nation. Children of school age roam about the streets in tattered clothes begging scavenging and doing all sorts of hard labour to earn a living. This paper examined the Almajiri Syndrome in Northern Nigeria and the rights of children in Islam. It is discovered that the present precarious condition which Almajiris are subjected to in many places in northern Nigeria, like poor accommodation, poor nutrition and health, education etc are not compatible with Islamic teachings with respects to rights of children. The paper therefore, suggested possible recommendations on how the problem of lumpen childhood upbringing can be rectified without compromising the genuine intent of seeking Islamic knowledge so as to produce Almajiris who will contribute to meaningful development of our nation. The paper inferred that, to safeguard the chastity of these children, parents must perform their duties diligently, government must provide proper legislations, enforce laws and provide adequate funding and community must help protect the rights of those children. Keywords: Almajiri, Northern Nigeria, Islam, Rights, Children.
