사실혼으로서 동성생활공동체

The Korean family has experienced diversity. Being in appearance, nuclear family has been reduced, single person household is getting absolute majority, and marriage and birth rate are seriously decreased. On the basis of superficial alterations, Koreans' perception about family is newly formed. As a result, people are most receptive to living together without marriage.
 However, Korean legal system does not accept the internal and external transition of family at all. The Korean civil law stands on the principle of legal marriage and does not stipulate de facto marriage relation. Despite all that, de facto marriage relation which has been acknowledged by legal theory and precedents is provided legal protection. But, the definition about de facto marriage is not clear. Basically, when the parties which are able to marry with legally, live together under social recognition without marriage registration, it is protected as de facto marriage. On the other hand the couple who were in same family lineage and thereby could not legally marry with by the previous Korean civil Law were recognized as de facto marriage relation. Furthermore, in the case of social security like pension, the spouse who had been in prohibition of marriage by the Korean civil law, was recognized as de facto marriage partner.
 Legal theory and precedents demand parties' intention of marriage, living together under supporting each other, and obtaining social approval as the conditions of de facto marriage. Parties' internal intention of marriage is presumed when the couple live together under supporting each other and receive social approval. Nevertheless, the Korean court does not admit same sex couple as de facto marriage relation, even if they live together under supporting each other and obtaining social acknowledge. The reason for it is that they can not marry with legally. This paper examines that the position of Korean court is not proper in the stage of getting fact finding and applying provisions of Korean civil law in the lawsuit. It claims also that on the basis of major legal theory and precedents about de facto marriage same sex couple belong to the relation.

Gugatan Pembatalan Pengangkatan Anak/Adopsi : Studi Kasus di Pengadilan Kota Bogor No 143/Pdt.G/2021/PN Bogor

Children are the heirs and successors of the family lineage. Therefore, if a marriage has not or is not blessed with children, then adoption or adoption is held. The definition of adoption can be seen in etymology, terminology, and according to legal experts. But not all families get to enjoy raising a child like other families. In some families, by the power of God, where the desire to have children even after years of marriage has not been blessed, while the desire to have children is very great. So as a result, the descendants of the family will be threatened with extinction and break up if no one continues the family tree and family relatives. If this event occurs, there is a possibility of adopting a child whose origin could be from a relative, family or adopting a child who has nothing to do with family relatives (adopted) to become the successor of the lineage of the family concerned. In this study, the authors used the Sociological Juridical approach, combining juridical/legal rules combined with social facts related to the problem or object under study, namely the case of lawsuits for canceling child adoption and the type of research is descriptive research, the research aims to describe systematically, factual, and accurate, to a particular object. Regulations regarding child adoption have existed in Indonesia since the Dutch East Indies era in the form of Staadsblad No. 129 of 1917 which regulates the adoption of children which specifically applies to Chinese people until the current law, namely Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia No. 54 of 2007 concerning Implementation of Child Adoption and Law No. 35 of 2014 concerning Amendments to Law No. 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection, but none of these regulations regulate the cancellation of child adoption, meaning that in Indonesia there is a legal vacuum related to regulations which regulates the cancellation of child adoption.

The Impact of Zoroastrianism on Ağrı and its Surroundings

From the past to the present, people living in the same or close geographies have been influenced by each other's culture, customs, traditions, and religions as a result of neighborly relations, trade, migrations, and wars. Iran has also influenced its neighboring border countries, especially in religious matters, from the moment it started to show its presence on the stage of history. In this study, the impact of Zoroastrianism, which was founded by Zoroaster 3500 years ago, on our country and especially on Ağrı and its surroundings, one of the frontier cities of Anatolia, has been investigated. With the Gürbulak border gate located in Ağrı, Ağrı is the closest place to Iran in Turkey in terms of geographical location. Zoroastrianism is one of the oldest monotheistic religions in the World, with approximately 200,000 followers in the world today. Although it is not known exactly where and when Zoroaster was born, it is generally accepted that he lived between 628-551 BC. Zoroastrianism was not limited to the lands where it was born, but also spread to most parts of the world. Zoroaster, who defended righteousness under the leadership of Ahura Mazda, made the basic distinction between good and evil and created the belief in the afterlife around the phenomenon of heaven and hell. The bridge of Sırât, which is a part of Islamic belief and which must be crossed to get to heaven, is one of the influences of Zoroastrianism in Turkey. Another important issue is having children and ensuring the continuation of the family lineage, which underpins the solidity of the family institution. When a baby is born, the isolation of the baby and mother from society for 40 or 50 days is one of the phenomena that we have acculturated under the influence of Zoroastrianism. In Zoroastrianism, after 40 days of waiting, all the items used by the woman who gave birth were cleaned by burning, while in Ağrı, this ritual came to life by cleaning with water. The main purpose of this study is to reveal how Zoroastrianism has found its place in Turkish culture. This study has a very important place in terms of revealing the basic similarities and differences of the culture, customs, and traditions formed around two different beliefs. In this study, a literature review and group sampling were conducted, and face-to-face interviews were used. Even the basis of the belief in the Mahdi, defined by Western researchers as Ghost-Danc, is mentioned as "Saoshiant", meaning "helper, savior" in the Avesta, the holy book of Zoroastrianism, and in the Gathas, the sayings of Zoroaster, before he came to Anatolia. In Zoroastrianism, it is believed that the Mahdi will come from Zoroaster's lineage. In Ağrı, a savior is expected and believed to fight the evil that will increase before the apocalypse. The savior character of Zoroastrianism, Saoshiant, played an important role in the formation of the Mahdi belief in Shiite doctrine. In particular, this belief has shown its presence in Ararat and its environs, along with the Shi'ism that dominated Iran and its environs. Within the framework of these and similar examples, we can say that although the emergence of Zoroastrianism dates back to the past, it has shown its influence in many places, especially in the geography where it exists. We see traces of Zoroastrianism in social life, religious beliefs and life, education, family, and many other areas in and around Ağrı.

The genetic legacy of African Americans from Catoctin Furnace.

Few African Americans have been able to trace family lineages back to ancestors who died before the 1870 United States Census, the first in which all Black people were listed by name. We analyzed 27 individuals from Maryland's Catoctin Furnace African American Cemetery (1774-1850), identifying 41,799 genetic relatives among consenting research participants in 23andMe, Inc.'s genetic database. One of the highest concentrations of close relatives is in Maryland, suggesting that descendants of the Catoctin individuals remain in the area. We find that many of the Catoctin individuals derived African ancestry from the Wolof or Kongo groups and European ancestry from Great Britain and Ireland. This study demonstrates the power of joint analysis of historical DNA and large datasets generated through direct-to-consumer ancestry testing.

Martyrdom, Witnessing, and Social Lineages in the Tamil Country

Abstract This article examines the martyrdom of the Jesuit missionary Saint João de Brito (1647-1693) and the beginnings of his cult, at once embedded in the local dynamics of the Tamil country and extending towards broad imperial horizons. How did a Portuguese Jesuit, an agent of modern global Catholicism, become such a locally anchored figure? And how did the last moments of Brito’s life initiate a Tamil devotion that has lasted for over three centuries? A diverse array of sources is used to address these questions: the multilingual archives produced during early inquiries in support of Brito’s canonization (particularly the witness statements of his catechists), a missionary treatise in Tamil, and a life of Brito composed in Tamil by one of his catechists and preserved in a palm-leaf manuscript. Two conclusions emerge from this study. In the early eighteenth century, witnessing a martyrdom could be a means of acquiring a certain degree of sanctity, and thus a spiritual and social authority transmissible within family lineages. Moreover, by witnessing Brito’s life and death, Tamil Christian laymen found a way of inscribing their own lives into the history of Catholicism on both local and global scales.

Bridging a transnational mother-daughter's relationship through a memoir

Bridging the past and present in a family is challenging, particularly if they grow up in a different culture. The hassle of life occupies most people's minds, which leads to abandoning one of the most fundamental kinships, the mother-daughter relationship. This phenomenon appears in a literary work written by Amy Tan entitled The Bonesetter's Daughter, where the protagonist acts apathetic toward her mother's willingness to preserve their family's lineage through a handwritten memoir.Reading the literary work through the lens of Memory Studies helps to understand the mother's unpleasant to hostile behaviours in the protagonist's upbringing; besides her harsh past that caused it, the daughter's obliviousness toward her mother's wishes in getting to know about her real grandmother and the history of their family heightened her disappointment. As an Asian, family ties serve as a vital source of identity and safeguard against life's challenges, and the bond is severed more due to the different communication styles.Realising the importance of reading the forgotten memoir written by her mother became the turning point of their relationship. By willingly reading the mother's memory, finally, the daughter creates a long-wished family connection.

Trebinjski Kapičići, ljudi Ostoje Poznanovića / I Kapičić di Trebinje, gente di Ostoja Poznanović

The bearers of the surname Kapičić in the Trebinje area can be followed for a whole century in three generations (1417-1525). Preserved sources represent them for a long time as road robbers operating in the northeastern area of Trebinje, controlling the Bosnian (Drina) and Nikšić roads. At the beginning of the 16th century, they participated in credit trade as debtors and were engaged in the transportation of goods from Dubrovnik to Novi Pazar, Kruševac, Niš and Sofia. The Kapičići are the people of Trebinje lord Ostoja Poznanović. The first generation is represented by Dobro (1417-1426), Dobrilo (1417-1434), Ljubiša (1421-1444), Obrad (1434) and probably Radat Kapičić (+1421). Through three generations, the family line of Dobril Kapičić is best known.

A Systemic and Transdisciplinary Study to Contribute to Decolonial Futures in Two Indigenous Municipalities of Chiapas, Mexico

We draw from participatory action research and sustainable livelihood approaches to integrate a systemic and transdisciplinary methodological proposal capable of contributing to decolonial futures for indigenous peoples. This methodological proposal is illustrated with two decades of research experience collaborating with Mayan Tseltal communities in Chiapas, Mexico, to contribute towards improving their life strategies. The conceptual framework employed was Local Socio-Environmental Systems, a soft system proposal made up of four sub-systems that are interrelated, based on their formations in a particular territory framed within specific historical regimes. Community workshops were organized, and ethnographic fieldwork was conducted. The findings were systematized through Grounded Theory coding processes and linguistic translation. The results focus on (a) showing the process of alignment of the transdisciplinary horizon from the interests of three groups of actors participating in the accompaniment (communities, academia and civil society), (b) analyzing the emergence of Tseltal ethos associated with territory, family lineages, community harmony and dignified life that complexified the initial methodological proposal and (c) detailing the reinterpretation and appropriation that social subjects made to the category “capitals” of the livelihood framework. We conclude by reflecting on ‘knowledge dialogues’ and epistemic decolonization to which transdisciplinary research has given rise, to the extent that the accompanied Tseltal communities are currently demanding recognition of their political autonomy from the state.

Genome-wide population structure, homozygosity, and heterozygosity patterns of Nero Siciliano pig in the framework of Italian and cosmopolitan breeds.

Analysis of genomic data is becoming more and more common for the effective management of livestock breeding programmes, even in the case of local populations. In this work, the genome-wide data of Nero Siciliano pig breed were compared to that of wild boar, Italian local and cosmopolitan breeds to investigate its genetic structure, and runs of homozygosity (ROH) and heterozygosity patterns. The Nero Siciliano has been reported to have the highest rate of genetic diversity among the Italian breeds, and a genetic variability comparable to that of the cosmopolitan breeds. Analyses of genomic structure and relationships underlined its proximity to wild boar, and an internal substructure probably linked to different family lines. The breed showed a low value of inbreeding estimated from ROH, and the highest diversity index among the Italian breeds, even if lower than that of the cosmopolitans. Four ROH islands in three chromosomes (SSC8, SSC11, and SSC14) and one heterozygosity-rich region (SSC1) were identified in Nero Siciliano, highlighting genomic regions related to productive QTL. Across breeds, SSC8 and SSC14 were the chromosomes with most ROH islands, with Mora Romagnola and wild boar showing the highest level of autozygosity. Chromosomes SSC2, SSC6, SSC8 and SSC13 showed the majority of runs of heterozygosity regions, mainly found in the cosmopolitan pig breeds, which reported several genes associated with health-related QTL. The outlined results can help to better identify the genomic profile of this local breed in order to plan matings, maintain adequate internal diversity and exploit the production system.

Application of Familial Y-STR Haplotype Mismatch Tolerance in Genealogy Inference.

To provide a guideline for genealogy inference and family lineage investigation through a study of the mismatch tolerance distribution of Y-STR loci in Chinese Han male lineage. Three Han lineages with clear genetic relationships were selected. YFiler Platinum PCR amplification Kit was used to obtain the typing data of 35 Y-STR loci in male samples. The variation of Y-STR haplotypes in generation inheritance and the mismatch tolerance at 1-7 kinship levels were statistically analyzed. Mutations in Y-STR were family-specific with different mutation loci and numbers of mutation in different lineages. Among all the mutations, 66.03% were observed on rapidly and fast mutating loci. At 1-7 kinship levels, the number of mismatch tolerance ranged from 0 to 5 on all 35 Y-STR loci, with a maximum step size of 6. On medium and slow mutant loci, the number of mismatch tolerance ranged from 0 to 2, with a maximum step size of 3; on rapidly and fast mutant loci, the number of mismatch tolerance ranged from 0 to 3, with a maximum step size of 6. Combined use of SNP genealogy inference and Y-STR lineage investigation, both 0 and multiple mismatch tolerance need to be considered. Family lineage with 0-3 mismatch tolerance on all 35 Y-STR loci and 0-1 mismatch tolerance on medium and slow loci can be prioritized for screening. When the number of mismatch tolerance is eligible, family lineages with long steps should be carefully excluded. Meanwhile, adding fast mutant loci should also be handled with caution.

Cultural Proximity of Korean and Indonesian in Korean Dramas

This paper, which is a narrative analysis, seeks to explore why Korean drama as a form of hallyu cultural product is favoured by the Indonesian people by using the cultural proximity theory from Joseph Straubhaar. According to this theory the audience will prefer products of their own culture or the same as their culture. This research approach is a qualitative research with narrative analysis method. Audiences will prefer the same production because of elements such as star appeal, local knowledge, topics, issues, the environment, and the ethnicity of people in the media. The author discusses five cultural similarities between the two countries, namely the same history, family relationships based on extended family, language and social norms, family lineage and culinary. The results showed that the historical similarities between Korea and Indonesia which had been colonized by Japan, extended family forms in Indonesian and Korean families, respect for parents and manners of behaviour between Indonesians and Koreans and the same food, namely making rice and side dishes as staple foods made Korean dramas liked by the Indonesian people.

Internative marriage system, built by the Tran dynasty (1225–1400), its main objectives, forms and collapse

Since the emergence of the Far Eastern empires, the fundamental principle of the transfer of power in the dynasties that ruled here strictly along the male line and strictly downward was regularly attacked, often successfully, by the female family lines of the ruling families, in particular, by mothers, wives, fathers-in-law and sons-in-law of the emperor, which constantly aroused deep concern among the representatives of the main lines. In the XIII-XIV centuries, the Tran dynasty, which ruled Dai Viet (Vietnam), tried to create and put into practice such a system of transferring the throne within the framework of its house, which would exclude even the theoretical possibility of such encroachments. This article is devoted to a description of the specific measures that were taken in connection with this, as well as the events that led to the destruction of this system and ultimately to the fall of the Tran dynasty and the transfer of power in the country to the Ho dynasty, and formally it was through the female line.

Geography, ethnicity, genealogy and inter‐generational social inequality in Great Britain

AbstractThis paper documents population‐wide inequalities of outcome in Great Britain amongst and between long‐established and more recently arrived family groups. ‘Establishment’ is defined using family group presence in the 1851 Census of Population as a benchmark, and the ethnicity or nationality of more recent migrants is determined through classification of given and family names. Inequalities of outcome are measured using a harmonised indicator of neighbourhood deprivation (hardship). White British individuals tend to live in the best neighbourhoods, but within‐group inequalities reflect regional locations in which different family names were first coined 700 or more years ago. The living circumstances of White Irish and Chinese migrants are observed to be in line with long‐established White British family lines, but other conventionally defined ethnic groups fare worse, some very markedly so. Disaggregation of conventional ethnic groups used by the Office for National Statistics such as White Other and Other Asian reveals stark within‐group inequalities. These findings suggest: (a) regional origins of inter‐generational inequalities amongst the White British; (b) comparable neighbourhood environments experienced by the White Irish, Chinese and some White Other groups and (c) significantly worse neighbourhood circumstances within and between other more recently arrived immigrant groups. This work has several implications for understanding economic assimilation of migrants and the existence of inequalities amongst and between populations.

A lineage in land: the transmission of Palestinian Christianity

AbstractThis article examines a Christian tradition defined by descent, but a descent that extends beyond family lineages to include relatedness with saints and sacred land. This tradition emerges from the Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem, one of the oldest churches in the world, composed of a Palestinian laity and a Greek monastic hierarchy. Through an ethnography of the Orthodox feast of St George and the ritual use of olive oil from Palestinian villages, the article frames discussion of indigeneity, land, and rootedness around the concept of descent. Putting Palestinian Orthodoxy in conversation with kinship theory and the critique of social structure, it argues against sequestering divine and human forms of relatedness in separate social domains. It suggests the concept of descent can be a powerful tool for integrating them when expanded to include all ‘forces that bring forth life’.

Filasṭīn /Palestine and Filasṭīniyyīn /Palestinians in Early Modern Arabic Sources

Abstract: This paper examines the use of the terms Filasṭīn and Filasṭīniyyīn in Arabic sources, between 1517 and 1798. Contrary to the general view, Arab writers, both Muslim and Christian, always used the terms in their travelogues, religious texts, and government records. This paper situates the discussion of the use of those two terms in the Arabic tradition of geographical writings with its emphasis on deriving nomenclature from the urban context/ Ḥaḍarī , the family lineage, and synecdoche.

Human amyloid seeds induce a more profound pathology than seeds from old 3x‐Tg‐AD mice

AbstractBackgroundMost age‐associated neurodegenerative disorders involve the aggregation of specific proteins within the nervous system, as occurs in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Recent evidence indicates that Aβ can misfold and aggregate into seeds that structurally corrupt native proteins, mimicking a prion‐like process of template protein corruption or seeding. In fact, studies in animal models show that the injection of brain homogenates from AD patients or from aged APP‐transgenic mice containing Aβ aggregates, can induce some of the neuropathological hallmarks of AD. However, it is still unknown which Aβ‐misfolded species are most efficient in triggering the aggregation process. Here, we seek to perform a comparative study to determine whether Aβ seeds from humans vs a familial AD line (the 3xTg‐AD model) is more efficient to generate amyloid aggregates.MethodWe employed histological and molecular approaches to determine amyloid level, species and aggregative capacity of brain homogenates from an AD patient (stage C for amyloid, from the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at UCI) vs old‐3xTg‐AD mice (25‐month‐old). Such brain homogenates were injected into the hippocampus of 7‐month‐old 3xTg‐AD mice and the mice were analyzed at 18 months of age.ResultOur findings demonstrated that amyloid seeds from the human patient induce more aggressive amyloid pathology compared to seeds from aged 3xTg‐AD mice.ConclusionThese results suggest that seeds from human patients seem to be more amyloidogenic than from aged 3xTg‐AD mice. Thus, more profound understanding these factors will provide key insight on how amyloid pathology progress in AD.

The Issue of Gay Men in Marriage to Women in China

Gay mens marriages with females are a social phenomenon that happens in conservative regions and countries lacking gay marriage legislation. These regions and countries restrict the sexual orientation expression of LGBTQ people and try to discipline them to accept the heterosexual marriage. On account of patriarchal society and the emphasis of offspring, Chinese gay people not only suffer from social discrimination, but are also forced to finish marriage and carry on the family line by their parents. This pressure sometimes results in a deceptive marriage. In a deceptive marriage, gay men hide their sexual orientation and deceive their wives to reproduce. Therefore, gays wife become reproductive machines and victims of deceptive marriages. This paper chooses baidu tieba as a virtual field and observes the situations of gays wife in the forum. A part of the participants in forum have known that they are victims of deceptive marriage, but most the forum members just suspect their husbands are gay and are stricken with anxiety. Through observation of gays wife groups, this paper analyses three problems: the AIDS risk, twofold oppression of patriarchy, and demonization of homosexuality. It applies dramaturgy proposed by Goffman to analyse the causes and puts forward suggestions for the three problems.

Tuo Dolphins

Tuo Dolphins takes place in both Aarhus, Denmark and in the Reef islands, the Solomon Islands. Moffat Bonunga, visits the Danish anthropologists Jens Pinholt and Peter I. Crawford in Aarhus to help them with their work on the film project. This included talking about a special event when dolphins ran ashore at Tuo village. The people of Tuo have a mythical relationship with dolphins, covered by a traditional so-called kastom story, the incident confirming the fascinating relationship between the dolphins landing on the beach and the kinship relationships. The phenomenon had allegedly been triggered when a member of a specific family line, Pelewe, passed away a few weeks before. The villagers decided to re-enact part of their Dolphin story to capture it on film, thereby using the film, and its crew, to both present and confirm the truthfulness of the legend and myth.

Analysis of religious coping relationships with family resilience in utilizing socio-economic resources during the COVID-19 pandemic

Background: Religious coping has a very important role in overcoming difficult problems in the family. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between religious coping with family resilience in utilizing socioeconomic resources during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: The research design used was analytical descriptive with a cross-sectional approach. The respondents in this study were 242 villagers in East Java Province. Data were collected by SWBS for religious coping and FRAS for family resilience. Data analysis used logistic regression. Results: Factors that influence family resilience in utilizing socioeconomic resources involve religious coping. Families that have adequate religious coping will have a greater opportunity to have resilience in communication and problem-solving compared to families with inadequate religious coping (OR: 1.081; 95% CI: 1.038 – 1.127). Conclusion: Family resilience in utilizing socioeconomic resources is strongly influenced by religious coping factors. Strengthening the community with a religious approach is needed to support the family's line of defense against this pandemic condition.
