AbstractObjective: The objective of this study was to examine public attitudes towards third-party reproduction and the disclosure of conception through third-party reproduction.Methods: We conducted the web-based survey for the public attitude towards third-party reproduction in February 2014. Twenty-five hundred people were recruited with equal segregation of age (20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s) and gender. We analyzed the association between gender, age, infertility, and ethical view using a questionnaire regarding donor sperm, donor oocyte, donor embryo, gestational surrogacy, and disclosure to offspring.Results: Of the respondents, 36.2% approved and 26.6% disapproved with gamete or embryo donation. The frequency of those who approved was the lowest in females in the 50-59 years age group, and was significantly higher in males or females with infertility. Secondly, 40.9% approved and 21.8% disapproved with gestational surrogacy. The frequency of those who approved gestational surrogacy was higher in males or females with infertility. Thirdly, 46.3% of respondents agreed and 20.4% disagreed with “offspring have the right to know their origin”. Those who disagreed were primarily in the 50-59 age group of both genders, and disagreement was significantly higher in the infertility group compared with non-infertility group.Conclusion: In this study, public attitudes were affected by gender, age, and experience of infertility. These study findings are important in understanding the attitude towards third-party reproduction and disclosure to the offspring. Respondents having indecisive attitudes were >30%, which might indicate an increased requirement for information and education to enhance the discussion on the ethical consensus on third-party reproduction in Japan.

Women gained the right to vote nearly 100 years ago, but it was not until 1980 that political scholars and practitioners began paying much attention to the role of women in elections and it was the so-called “Year of the Woman” in 1992 that sparked increased scholarly attention on women as political communicators. A record number of women, 117, ran for the U.S. Congress in 1992, but the number of women running and serving has been slow to increases since that time. One reason may be the unique challenges gender poses for female political communicators. Over three decades of research has proven gender stereotypes and expectations play a key role in how women (and men) communicate with voters. This review of research summarizes major findings and changes in gender and political communication research over the past three decades. Our focus is on communication by candidates and how gender shapes that communication. In all, 119 scholarly sources were reviewed; these sources included scholarly journals from related disciplines as well as books. Gender stereotypes in political communication have also been studied using a variety of methodologies, and to reflect that the research reviewed in this essay include both quantitative and qualitative methods. This summary of existing research includes a discussion of the gender stereotypes faced by candidates and how candidates present themselves to the public in light of these stereotypes.

Financial returns from a corporate website are improved by broadening the site’s audience to include minority (e.g., small and women-owned) suppliers. Firms believe that it is good for business if their supplier base has the same racial and gender composition as their customer base. This chapter directly addresses supply chain relationships, diverse suppliers, and investment returns by examining how large corporations use their public websites to communicate with small, minority-owned and women-owned trading partners. The chapter is based on findings from a large-scale study of corporate, public websites. The researcher visited all of the public websites of the Fortune 500 to understand Web-based supplier communications, and analyze how large firms use their public website to communicate with minority suppliers.

Aims.In recent years, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Mental Health Declaration for Europe and other initiatives laid the ground for improving the rights of persons with mental illness. This study aims to explore to what extent these achievements are reflected in changes of public attitudes towards restrictions on mentally ill people.Methods.Data from two population surveys that have been conducted in the ‘new’ States of Germany in 1993 and 2011 are compared with each other.Results.The proportion of respondents accepting compulsory admission of mentally ill persons to a psychiatric hospital remained unchanged in general, but the proportion opposing compulsory admission on grounds not sanctioned by law declined. In contrast, more respondents were opposed to permanently revoking the driver's license and fewer supported abortion and (voluntary) sterilisation in 2011. Concerning the right to vote and compulsory sterilisation, the proportion of those who did not give their views increased most.Conclusions.Two divergent trends in public attitudes towards restrictions on people with mental disorders emerge: While, in general, people's views on patients' rights have become more liberal, the public is also more inclined to restricting patients’ freedom in case of deviant behaviour.

The Subject

Third-party reproduction uses ovum donors, sperm donors, embryo donors, and gestational surrogates in various combinations to create a child for heterosexual couples, same-sex couples, and individuals to raise. Its use is increasing in the United States and around the world, and it is increasingly the subject of legislation. But third-party reproduction tells the individuals who provide the ovum, sperm, and gestation required to create a child that they are reproductive mechanisms, not reproductive persons. By contrast, multiple stories in the Bible involving third-party reproduction recognize the motherhood and fatherhood, and thus the reproductive personhood, of those whose sexual union brings forth a new child. This is an important point for people of faith and the public to be mindful of.

Even though equality has been described as a simple concept, its meanings and principles have not been properly understood by the public. Similar treatment might not have a value of neutrality because, once the right to equality is related to and enforced by laws, its objectivity and impartiality can be challenged. The Malaysian government is making progress towards a safer and more equal environment for women and girls following the proposed new or amended legislation. These includes the anti-stalking law, the Sexual Harassment Act, and ending child marriage. Furthermore, the establishment of a Select Committee on Rights and Gender Equality in Parliament have been considered as a good step forward for equality. Indeed, implementation of policies such as childcare facilities in government offices as well as encouraging the private sector to follow suit are good moves towards creating more opportunities and encouraging the participation of women in the workforce. This paper explores the conceptual understanding of ‘equality’ globally and from the perspective of Islamic jurisprudence. This reflection is in line with Islamic belief that needs to reform the understanding of society based on the suggestion of Al-Quran and Islamic scholars. With this interpretation, this paper will explore Malaysia’s progress in empowering women and gender equality. Finally, this paper will suggest a way forward for Malaysia to empower women that have been marginalized and subordinated

Background: COVID-19 pandemic has been affecting the global health system profoundly. Various measures have been taken to contain the disease spread. This study was conducted with the aim of assessing the knowledge, attitude and practices in relation to COVID-19 in social media users among college-going students. Methods: A cross –sectional web-based study was conducted among the students of an engineering college in south India. The study questionnaire was adapted from an earlier study which included four segments to collect information regarding socio-demographic details, knowledge, attitude and practices regarding COVID-19. Descriptive statistics was employed and the results were expressed as numbers and percentages. Results: A total of 252 engineering students took part in the study. 251 participants (99.6 %) had knowledge about the symptoms of COVID-19 and 243 (96.4%) participants knew the methods of transmission of the virus. With regard to the attitude towards COVID-19, 246 (97.6%) individuals felt that taking adequate precautions will reduce disease transmission, and 179 (71.0%) individuals completely agreed with the government’s decision to implement the lockdown. Regarding practices related to COVID-19, 214 (84.9%) individuals regularly disinfected their hands, 249 (98.8%) respondents wore a mask regularly, and 226 (89.7%) participants adhered to social distancing norms. Conclusion: The respondents in this study who were social media users in an engineering college in south India had fairly good knowledge, displayed a positive attitude and followed responsible practices with regard to COVID-19. Promotion of knowledge and awareness about the right practices related to COVID-19 among the public is necessary to ensure the adoption of effective preventive behaviours.

<em>This paper examines how the legal status of leasing the public land in deal with the State's Right of Controlling is and how the further regulating them in the implementation of regional autonomy is. The used method is a normative legal research with secondary data sources through primary legal materials, secondary and tertiary. The results show that leasing the land that the object is a public land constitutes an action against the law, because the state is in fact not the owner of the land. The state only has the right to control the public land and the only the owner has the right to lease the land. Therefore, there is a smuggling law in case of leasing the public land through enacting the regional regulations that contain the permit to use the public land, that the third parties can use public land but the third party must pay a sum of money.</em>

Ownership Rights

The concept of ownership in Islamic economics states that individuals or legal entities that have the right to ownership of a property may use it freely as long as it does not violate Islamic economic principles and the public interest. However, for Islamic banking, the ownership of funds used as business capital comes from investor customers who deposit their funds in Islamic banks. This has an effect on the ownership status of these funds. This article uses a descriptive literature research method taken from various factual references with a focus on using a normative juridical approach. This type of research is qualitative research using data analysis through several steps such as focusing data, presenting funds and drawing conclusions. The results of this study reveal the fact that the ownership rights of funds in Islamic banking are sourced from the first party funds as the bank's founder, the second party funds as shareholders and third party funds as investor customers. Ownership of these funds cannot be separated from the contract mechanism used. So that the contract used is the cause of Islamic banks having ownership rights to use these assets for business activities. The use of these funds is guaranteed by law, which shows the role of Islamic economic politics through the legal umbrella that regulates the operational system of Islamic banking, especially in the permitting of the use of investor funds for business activities through the mechanism of channeling funds and service mechanisms.
