Taeniasis is a neglected zoonotic disease responsible for serious health disorders, such as seizures, and may even cause death. Humans are the definitive host for the three species Taenia solium (pork tapeworm), T. saginata (beef tapeworm), and T. asiatica, harboring the adult tapeworm in the small intestine. In this study, a structured questionnaire was circulated to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) regarding taeniasis among the rural and urban communities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Pakistan. A total of 770 individuals participated in the study. Of the total respondents, 44.4% had little knowledge about the disease and its impact, while the majority (70%) of respondents showed a willingness to participate in elimination campaigns by providing fecal samples. Most respondents kept raw meat separated from clean utensils (81.6%) and checked the internal temperature of meat when cooking it (75.1%). Regression analysis showed a significant association between age and knowledge, especially in the 20–30 years (p < 0.05; OR 0.574) and 30 to 40 years (p < 0.05; OR 0.553) age groups, and being a resident in Rawalpindi (p < 0.05; OR 0.68) and other cities (p < 0.05; OR 2.43), except Islamabad. Income ranges of 31,000–50,000 PKR (p < 0.05; OR: 0.574), 51,000–70,000 PKR (p < 0.05; OR 0.531), and above 70,000 PKR (p < 0.05; OR 0.42) were significantly related to attitude, compared with individuals with incomes of 10,000–30,000 PKR. Income above 70,000 PKR (p < 0.05; OR 0.87) and living in an urban area (p < 0.05; OR 0.616) compared to a rural area were significant with practices. A positive attitude was observed regarding awareness and prevention of the disease. Awareness campaigns and providing health education could be key approaches to manage this disease in the general population of developing countries.

A continuous land use change in a watershed will affect the hydrological characteristics of the watershed. The Batang Tabir watershed has experienced a decrease in its carrying capacity shown by an increase in the frequency of flooding and the area of flood inundation. This study analyzes the land use changes in the Batang Tabir watershed, Merangin Regency, Jambi Province. The data used are DEM, topographic maps, river network maps, and Landsat imagery. Analysis of land use change used the Maximum Likelihood Classification (MLC) and the accuracy of image interpretation was carried out through the Kappa accuracy test. The land use prediction using the ANN model. The results showed that the rate of land use change increased in secondary forests, built-up areas, agriculture, and open areas; primary forests, paddy fields, and shrubs continued to decline. It is predicted in the year 2030, the trend will be the same; the built-up areas, agriculture, and secondary forests will increase, while primary forests, paddy fields, shrubs, and open areas will decrease.
