Using convienence sampling technique a structured questionnaire was administered. The questionnaire addresses knowledge of the social indicators of child physical abuse, response to child physical abuse, and actions taken by doctors when they believe a child abuse case has been decided. Descriptive analysis was done, and Chi-square test was used for the association of knowledge about child physical abuse and sex. P-value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Out of total 575 doctors, 347 (60.3%) were males and 446 (77.6%) work in private hospitals. The majority of doctors 384 (66.8%) had <10 years of experience and only 99(17.2%) had received formal training of child abuse. A fifth of doctors agreed to tell someone immediately after being physically abused for social indicators of child physical abuse and considered statistically significant between the sexes (P<0.05). Most doctors 450(78.3%) strongly agreed on the value of identifying and documenting child physical abuse while 563(97.9%) doctors did not take any action to suspect a child abuse case. Conclusion: The study revealed sufficient knowledge among doctors about child physical abuse. Although the doctors had a positive attitude regarding child physical abuse, a large proportion remain silent on its suspicion. Keywords: Child, Physical abuse, Physicians, Continuous...
This paper takes a fresh look at the topic of ‘Veil’ in Islam. It synthesizes the options of different Muslim scholars on the topic. Opinions in favour and against ‘Veil’ have been academically dealt with in a critical analytical approach. It aims at bringing the subject into fresh discussion in order to apprise desirous Muslim women to confidently apply the decorum of Veil accordingly. Muslim scholars are divided into three different groups on the object of veil. The first group does not recognise it as an essential part of Muslim behaviour. They consider Veil more to be spiritual. The second one accepts it moderately and allows face, palms and dresses to be exposed for asphaltic sense. The third school of thought allows no such concession in the record. There is strict adherence to the veil of the face, body dress even the voice of women is considered related to it. In a Muslim society, women are obligated to follow of God as much as men. Veil order are based on the texture guidance of Quran and Sunnah. In the Islamic Reviling at Veil has a special identity and a special place. This paper highlights the same to show how important this area of study is.
The perfect meaning of God's attributes is far beyond the realm of human experience, therefore, the issue has been discussed in the all three divine religions and many theologins have their points of views on this important issue. As far as the christian concept of the attributes of lord is concerned, the author of the article William Joseph Hill has not given any clear idea regarding the attributes in the Christian religious thought which can be accepted as the proper attributes of God. The basic reason for that is the existance of controversial beliefs and thoughts in christianity regarding the attributes of lord and Jesus Christ.The doctrine of Trinity is also one of the main reason due to which the Christians are facing a lot of ambiguity about the nature and attributes of God and thus a big confusion in chirstian theology surfaced while dedicating attributes to God and Jesus and this thing paved the way for a great and infinite controversy. It seems that the author Joseph Hill was also not clear about it. Some of the attributes mentioned in the new testament show their linkage to God while others to Jesus. Attributes like goodness, immanence, Grace, Justice, Holiness, Mercy, Ominipotence etc appear in the new Tastement but yet no one can clearly say whether these are related to God or Jesus Christ.
