Portrait of Sexual Harassment Victims and Religious Support of the Parents in Aceh

Parental religious education is the most important thing in educating and raising children. The religious education that parents have will influence the norms and behavior of children to be educated and mature individuals. But now, even though parents understand the religious values, it is still difficult to implement these values in the family, especially in controlling the interaction of their children. This study investigated the religious value of parents in raising their children and the solution they offer to solve the problem related to sexual harassment issues faced by the children. This study used interviews, documentation, and observation, conducted in three locations namely in Bireuen district with four families, in North Aceh with three families, in Pidie Jaya with seven families, a total of all 14 families. The survey results in Bireuen showed even though their children suffered sexual harassment and rape but the parents were still able to hold their emotions because they had a strong religious education. They were happy to have children because it was assumed that they came from intact families. There is a stigma of society that their children are victims of sexual violation, whereas their parents have a good religious education. Complete intact families that still have both parents, can bring happiness, comfort, protect, and communicate well with their children. Otherwise, incomplete families whose children suffered sexual abuse victims are difficult to solve the problems being faced, especially to cheer up their children.

PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS OF MALADJUSTED TEENAGERS

From 30 to 85% of delinquent adolescents grow up in an incomplete family, that is, without a father, or in a family deformed - with a recently appeared stepfather, less often, with a stepmother. KEY WORDS: teenagers, psychological factors, social upheaval, deviant, emotional and psychological relations, criminalizing factor, biopsychological aspects.

Performance Tasks and Socialization of Students with Broken Family

Broken family leads to children being raised by single parents, stepparents or others not related to the biological parents. The study used a univariate likert scale among senior high school students in Jagobiao National High School. There are questions to gather the data. Firstly, students with broken family reported that they perform differently compared to the students with complete family. They do not have the confidence to stand out in class and even socializing the people around them. The findings of the study is statistically not significant between performance task and socialization of the students with broken family because the Cross tabulation presented that performance task does not affect the students socialization. Majority of the students perform well with a complete family rather than the broken ones. A number of students have fair confidence to socialize with other people. Other students with incomplete family poorly perform their task and their socialization skills rated poor as well. Hence, most of the students with incomplete family satisfactory perform their task and their socialization skill rated as satisfactory also. The study accentuates that the two variables performance task and socialization of the students with broken family does not have a significant correlation.

Transformation of the Peasant Family Life Cycle in the Middle Urals in Demographical Transition Circumstances

The article examines the transformation of the life cycle of a peasant family in Russia in the 20th century in demographical transition circumstances aggravated by multiple demographical catastrophes. The information basis of the study is databases formed during the analysis of budget surveys of peasant farms in the Middle Urals in 1928/1929 and 1963. Supplemented by information from other sources (materials from the population censuses of 1926, 1939 and 1959), these data allowed the authors to compare the family structure of the rural population of the Urals in the 1920s and the 1960s (the initial and the final stage of the demographical transition) and characterize its dynamics (the life cycle). Whereas in a traditional society the life cycle of a peasant family was largely determined by the dynamics of the peasant economy development, the urbanized society witnesses two standards of the family (two-parent/single parent one) with the corresponding types of the life cycle: the nuclear family (the reference version) and the incomplete family (the reduced version). The consequences of the Soviet modernization contributed to the transformation of fragmented forms of the family into a typical variant of the family landscape not only in urban but also in rural areas. Modeling and analysis of the peasant family life cycle at the micro level made it possible to identify the mechanisms of the peasant family adaptation to external and internal challenges that are characteristic of different stages of the demographic transition.

ПСИХОЛОГІЧНИЙ ФЕНОМЕН ТРИВОЖНИХ ПЕРЕЖИВАНЬ МОЛОДШИХ ШКОЛЯРІВ ІЗ НЕПОВНИХ СІМЕЙ

In the article essence of display of the psychological phenomenon of the anxious experiencing of children of midchildhood is investigated from incomplete families, influence of the anxious experiencing of children of midchildhood on their behavior. The analysis of reasons that result in the increase of amount of incomplete families and authorial determination to the psychological phenomenon of the anxious experiencing of children of midchildhood is formed is carried out. In particular, marked, that essence of display of the psychological phenomenon of the anxious experiencing of children of midchildhood from incomplete families consists in psychological disharmonity of perception of the world, inwardly-domestic life of child after converting of family into incomplete, that is characterized the displays of increase fierceness, to the aggressiveness, experiencing, problems sense of loss, anxiety, fear, decline of self-appraisal in relations between persons, violations of behavior.Reasons of increase of number of incomplete families in modern life much. The height of incomplete families is directly related to the sphere of marriage-domestic relations: change of moral norms in area of sexual mutual relations; distribution of pre-marital connections, change of traditional roles (domestic) of men and women; loss by family the productive function; unpreparedness of young people is to marriage; the overpriced requirements are in relation to a marriage partner; alcoholism and drug addiction.Swingeing majority of psychological and social descriptions of children that experience the divorce of parents testify, unfortunately, about negative character of his consequences on personality of child. The high level of anxiety, peculiar to the children of divorce, is marked, because: - firstly, anxiety of children as reaction on objective difficulties of functioning of incomplete family and, secondly, personal problems of children as a result of domestic trouble.Numerous foreign and home researches show that risk of violations of the psychological state of children that is brought up in incomplete families, considerably higher than for children from undivorcee families. Most differences between children from complete and incomplete families are in the field of behavioral problems. To the remote negative consequences a residence in incomplete family is: decline of self-appraisal, problem in relations between persons, violation of behavior, difficulties in establishment of relationships with opposite the article and creation of the family, less close relations with the parents, large frequency of broad patterns in own families et cetera.Psychological disharmonity of inwardly-domestic life after converting of family into incomplete, inability of parents to put right structural intercommunications in the conditions of divorce negatively influence on the emotional state of child. Swingeing majority of parents that remained to bring up children in incomplete families does not discuss with children neither it nor their experiencing, considering that the child of midchildhood is not able to understand such thorny problems, or consciously hide them, not to injure a child.

Security of employment nowadays is an important element of the individual’s functioning in the state. When economic development in the countryincreases – new employment opportunities also appear. Growth in employment is a condition for further economic development. With the economicdifficulties of the state, high unemployment and a slowing economy – there are also demographic problems. The issue of benefits available through thePolish social system for full and incomplete families and the legal basis for their granting require clarification. The Constitution of the Republic of Poland puts families under the protection of the state, which should properly implement a family-oriented policy and, above all, protection from a legalpoint of view. State policy should be aimed at providing the best conditions for starting and expanding families, in order to secure generational replacement and a fair pension system. Legal regulations indicate which rights families can use.

Features of Coping Strategies in Students Brought Ap in a Single-Parent Family

The article presents a theoretical analysis of the problematic of the peculiarities of personality coping strategies in psychological research. Family is an important external factor that influences the formation of a person's coping behavior in situations of shock. On the one hand, the child's coping behavior can be viewed as a result of negative influence from the parents, on the other hand, as a result of the mastering of coping behavior patterns demonstrating by the parents. It was determined that the adaptive behavior of students in difficult life situations predetermines the effectiveness of adaptation to new living conditions, directly affects academic performance, professional development and personal formation. An important practical task is to prepare student youth for the effective use of coping strategies in future professional activities, because coping is part of the structure of personal potential. It is precisely the purposeful formation of effective coping behavior in the learning process at HEI that should take into account the conditions of the student's upbringing (in complete and incomplete families). It has been empirically investigated that the structure of the family influences the choice of coping strategies of students in stressful situations. Child-parent relations affect the formation of a child's overcoming behavior system through the formation and development of such behavioral strategies and personality traits in him, which subsequently mediate their preference for certain coping strategies. The influence of the upbringing of both parents on the formation of coping behavior models in children is very significant. A significant role in the choice of coping strategies is played by the upbringing of a child in an incomplete family, somewhat less - for orphaned students.

Особенности психолого-педагогической деятельности специалистов социальной сферы с одинокими матерями и одинокими отцами

In connection with the transformation of the social and economic situation in Russia, serious changes took place in the structure of the Russian family, in the relations of its members, that is, a crisis of our domestic family is clearly observed, incomplete families appear. We analyze objective circumstances and subjective reasons for the appearance and existence of single mothers and single fathers raising one child or several children. This category of single-parent families requires a special approach in the work of psychologists, teachers, doctors and social workers. As the analysis of sources on the problem of an incomplete family shows, it is theoretically poorly developed, so the subject of our study was the characteristics of the psychological and pedagogical activity of social specialists with single mothers and single fathers. It should be noted that, from a scientific point of view, interesting data regarding single mothers is given by researcher S.I. Golod, however, the indicators of the 90s of the last century are now clearly outdated and there is a need to make new research in this direction. A completely natural question arises: “Can we consider single mothers and single fathers raising children without the second half families?” We argue that such a community is a family, albeit incomplete. The theoretical and methodological foundations of our study were philosophical and psychological approaches (system and structural, personality-oriented, subject and subjective, value and motivational, relational, spiritual and moral. The following methods were used in the study: analysis of scientific sources, observation, interviews, mental operations (analysis, generalization, structuring). As a result of the study, we highlight the reasons for such single-parent families, the features and difficulties of communicating with children, in most cases, material shortage experienced by each mother and each father raising one or more children. Therefore teachers, psychologists, medical and social workers should take into account not only typical, but individual approaches in activities with this category of single-parent families.

Особенности идентичности подростков из семей разведенных родителей

The article presents the results of a study on identity features in adolescents whose parents were divorced in correlation with the time and duration of the parents’ divorce. According to psychological investigations, in adolescence the formative influence of the family significantly affects the adolescent’s self-consciousness. Positive intra-family relationships, moral values and family norms lay the foundation for the adolescent’s attitude to one’s self as a social subject; they have a direct impact on the adolescent’s awareness of identity, self-confidence and self-esteem. Divorce is a difficult life situation for a teenager that alters the inner picture of one’s self-consciousness. The authors hypothesise that there are differences in the personality characteristics of adolescents from complete families and from the homes where the parents are divorced. The study was conducted at the Petrozavodsk Lyceum. We used the Kuhn McPartland Test as the method of identifying an individual’s characteristics. The study involved 111 adolescents aged 14 to 16 years (85 from complete families and 26 with divorced parents; among them 15 from families where 1 year had not yet passed after the divorce (“acute period”) and 11 from families where 2 years had passed after the divorce (“not acute period”). The results showed that adolescents from complete families when describing their self-image made the most prominent emphasis on their position in society and in adolescent communities indicating the normal course of personality development. Adolescents from incomplete families in the “acute period” were prone to reflexive analysis of themselves and their behaviour, and those in the “not acute period” placed greater emphasis on the active aspect of self, which may be interpreted as a coping strategy in a difficult life situation.

Trying to assess the quality of life of families of parenterally fed children

Introduction. Parenteral nutrition is a method of nutrition which involves the introduction of nutrients in their simplest form into the bloodstream without the digestive system. In the case of children in Poland, it has been used successfully for over 30 years.Aim of the study. To assess the quality of life of families of children fed parenterally.Materials and methods. The group of the examined persons consisted of 56 people, who were parents/guardians of a child fed parenterally. The mean age was 35.13 (±7.79) in mothers/guardians and 38.41 (±7.57) in fathers/guardians. The research was carried out by means of a diagnostic survey, using the author's questionnaire.Results. The parenteral nutrition of 3/4 of the group was conducted at home for several years. It was found that parenteral nutrition of a child significantly affects the functioning of the whole family (94.64%). The health situation in many cases forced one parent to resign from professional work (69.64%), reduced social contacts (48.21%), reduced holiday and holiday trips (80.36%). The leading cause of these changes was the need to adapt to the nutritional cycle of the child (85.71%). In the opinion of 35.71%, parenteral nutrition of a child burdened the family budget to a large extent, while in half of the respondents only slightly (55.36%).Conclusions. The parental nutrition of a child is a difficult task for parents, requiring from them strength and commitment to daily care activities. The need to adapt to the nutritional cycle disrupts the daily life of the family and often leads to the need for one parent to give up his or her professional career. The situation related to the parenteral nutrition of the child involves a financial burden on the family. Parental nutrition is a challenge for parents of children of all ages, with full and incomplete families, living in the countryside and in the city.

The characteristics of psychological well-being and manifestation of neurosis in preadolescence

The article presents the characteristics of psychological well-being and the manifestation of neurosis in preadolescence. The results show that most of preadolescents have a low and medium level of well-being. The characteristic of psychological well-being and the levels of neurosis at preadolescents from different types of family are investigated. Preadolescents from incomplete families and preadolescents from complete families are equally sensible for mental ill-being and for neuroses development.

Classification of single-parent families and their social-psychological-pedagogical characteristics

This article is single-parent (an incomplete) family, their classification and types of information about the social, psychological and educational characteristics. The least likely is in singleparent families where the child is adopted or unmarried, because the most important thing in these types of children is that women have no motive to get married and have become accustomed to a free way without a husband. In such families, the child acquires sufficient knowledge, skills and abilities from an early age by engaging in foreign languages, music, sports. Her outlook is broader than her peers because she works with the child on a regular basis.

Family structure vs. risky behaviour and self-efficiency feeling of youth in the period of late adolescence

The purpose of this research was to compare the frequency of the occurrence of risky behaviour and the level of self-efficiency feeling of youth in the period of late adolescence brought up in families of different structure. The structure of a family turned out not to have an important influence on a general feeling of self-efficiency of the examined youth brought up in complete and incomplete families. Risky behaviour which includes missing classes and using intoxicating substances: nicotine, alcohol, drugs, do not differ significantly in the frequency range in the compared groups. However, the quantitative analysis of the results shows more frequent use of legal highs by youth brought up in complete families. The results obtained did not prove the initial assumptions concerning a greater exposure to the possibility of the occurrence of risky behaviour among youth brought up in incomplete families. However, they indicate a higher frequency of occurrence of selected risky behaviour in adolescents from complete families, which prompts further analysis of the factors conditioning this phenomenon. It seems especially important to take into consideration the additional variables which should include: - time devoted to young people by parents fulfilling educational tasks alone or with a partner; - parental attitudes presented by parents.

Negative impacts of the adaptation process linked to local cultural stress levels in immigrants and development of psychiatric disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background
 Current studies underline and enable the international scientific community to reflect on migrant needs to restart, mostly without fluency in the language from the country of destination, without a way of proving his/her knowledges and abilities, with an incomplete family core, without cultural references that until that moment defined him/her as belonging to a specific group, with defined and meaningful habits, full of symbolic representations.
 Iams
 Conduct an analysis on the implications of migration in refugees’ mental health, and the link between these implications and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
 Method
 Indexed journals in MEDLINE and LILACS databases hosted in Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), as well as papers hosted in Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) Periodicals Portal. Searches were carried using the following DeCS descriptors: “Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic”, "Refugees” e “Mental Health”.
 Results
 The 10 studies included in the present review were carried in Australia, Denmark, Ethiopia, Turkey, Uganda, Israel, South Korea and Papua New Guinea, and were published in 2014 (2), 2015 (6), and 2017 (2). Regarding the subject, 50% of the articles concentrate information regarding PTSD and mental health problems, while the remaining half deals with psychosocial effects of mass conflict on refugees. Meta-analysis concludes that a considerable percentage of refugees suffer from psychiatric disorder, I-squared (variation in ES attributable to heterogeneity) = 96,46%; Estimate of between-study variance Tau^2= 0.02. Test of ES=0 : z= 17.75 p= 0.00.
 Conclusion
 Exposure to traumatic events such as public executions and other extreme acts of violence, murder of family members, family and friends’ death due to starvation, homelessness, are closely related to PTSD prevalence in refugees. Acculturation and family’s prolonged estrangement are predictors of depressive symptoms in refugees and both exposure to a new culture and adaptation to new laws and norms of welcoming countries act as stressors and aggravators of depressive symptoms.

Psychological well-being of boys high school students with different variants of development of male identity

Introduction.This article is devoted to the problem of psychological well-being of the individual in the context of the formation of male identity, which has a socio-cultural character and is derived from the canons of masculinity adopted by the subject. The initial setting of the authors is the idea of multi-variant development of the male identity and consequently the availability of different types of this phenomenon. Some of the existing typologies of masculinity and masculine identity are considered. The arguments exposing the traditional standards of masculinity and the corresponding male identity are given. On the basis of the analysis of scientific primary sources the fragmentary nature of the study of certain aspects of psychological well-being of representatives of traditional variants of development of male identity is shown and the relevance of the study of this phenomenon in subjects with other variants of male identity is substantiated.Materials and Methods.In the logic of the typology of male identity N.K.Radina and A.A.Nikitina and from the standpoint of the concept of psychological well-being K.Riff in line with the emic-approach studied the specificity of the manifestation of the General level and the main components of psychological well-being in representatives of different options for the development of male identity in relation to early adolescence. A comparative analysis of the types of male identity in high school boys from full and incomplete (maternal) families is also carried out.Results.The data confirmed the validity of the assumption that the majority of young men from incomplete (maternal) families are characterized by Patriarchal and hybrid types of male identity, while their peers from full families, along with Patriarchal and hybrid order of magnitude more common alternative options for the development of male identity. It is stated that there are statistically significant differences in the majority of components of psychological well-being in young men with different types of male identity, most of which are recorded in favor of the subjects with alternative and less – Patriarchal options for the development of male identity. In addition, it was found that the highest rates of overall psychological well-being observed in young men – representatives of alternative types of male identity.Discussion and Conclusions.According to the results of the study, it is concluded that it is necessary to soften the traditional norms of masculinity and to give a legitimate status to alternative standards and models of male behavior.

Influence of the Environment on the Structure of the European Badger (Meles meles) (Mustelidae, Mammalia) Family Groups on the Oka–Don Plain

Abstract—Diverse variants of the social organization of European badger populations (Meles meles L.) are observed in different parts of the living range. This paper presents information concerning the impact of the environment on the structure of European badger family groups. Data of the authors’ own observations conducted at ten model sites in the years 2011–2018 were used as the study material. The model badger settlements studied are located on the Oka–Don Plain within the administrative borders of Saratov oblast. The results of route surveys, photo trap surveys, and correlation assessment revealed a direct and strong correlation of the area occupied by a family group and the size of the group’s forage territory to the number of individuals in the group (r = 0.875 and r = 0.715, respectively). Family groups of four types (group, polygynic, monogamous, and incomplete families) were distinguished. The group type of family is formed in areas most appropriate for the badger when the amount of available food is sufficient. Large family groups inhabit such sites and construct complex systems of burrows used by many generations of badgers. Polygynic families occupy territories similar to the first type, but characterized by a small size of the forage area. Since food availability is a limiting factor, these social systems do not develop into large family groups and consist of a polygynic family of an alpha male and several females with their offspring. A small area of the family territory and a large forage area are characteristic of the social groups of the third type. A small size of the territory available is also a limiting factor, which prevents the animals from forming social groups larger than a monogamous family. The fourth type of family groups called the incomplete family is formed under an insufficient size of the territory available combined with a small size of the forage area. Quantitatively, groups of this type include a single individual and, less often, a pair of animals. These types are not permanent structures, but rather replace each other under the influence of environmental factors. The development of a family group is limited by the total size of the area suitable for vital activity and by the amount of available food resources, which is a solution to the problem of resource allocation among animals of the species studied.

Factors Affected the Psychological Trauma of Children Living in Incomplete Families – The Concern in Vietnamese School Counseling

<p>Domestic violence, separation and divorce are becoming increasingly common and leaving psychological traumas that are not easily healed for family members, especially for children in Vietnamese incomplete family. In this article, we identify the factors affecting the psychological trauma of children in the incomplete families by using Achenbach T. M’s Children Behavior Checklist (CBCL). We design 2 experiments and 3 steps to filter the main factor affected the psychological trauma of children living in incomplete families. In results, we found out that up to 46.42% of children had psychological traumas when living in incomplete family with an extremely high level of 8.16% and an average of 57.14%. The results showed not only by living in incomplete family but also other factors such as the pressure from public opinion and community affected the children psychological trauma. It is necessary to minimize the effect of psychological trauma of children in Vietnamese families.</p>

2840 The Association of Polish Ethnicity and Polyp Risk on Screening Colonoscopy in a Local Brooklyn Population

INTRODUCTION: The Brooklyn Hospital Center (TBHC) serves an ethnically diverse community with a large Polish immigrant population. There was a perceived increased quantity of polyps in our Polish patients. Multiple adenomas, larger sized adenomas, and adenomas with advanced histology on index colonoscopy are associated with increased risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). Studies in African Americans demonstrated higher incidence of CRC and mortality compared to whites suggesting different ethnic groups may be at increased risk for CRC. The goal of our study is to see if the Polish population is at increased risk for adenomatous polyps, large polyps(≥1 cm), multiple adenomas(≥3), or advanced adenomas(tubulovillous, villous, or high grade dysplasia) when compared to the non-Polish white population. METHODS: A retrospective chart review was performed from 1/2012 to 10/2018. Inclusion criteria were patients ≥50 years of age undergoing screening colonoscopy. Exclusion criteria consisted of an incomplete exam, personal or family history of CRC, or indication other than screening. Polish and non-Polish whites were identified by demographic data. 121 Polish patients were matched to 121 non-Polish white patients by gender and age. High-risk patients were those having large, multiple or advanced adenomas. Statistical analysis utilized student’s 2 sample t-test for P-values, with an alpha level of 0.05, and odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS: Each arm consisted of 56 men (46%) and 65 women (54%) with an average age of 64.3 years in both. There was a statistically significant difference between the number of high-risk Polish vs. non-Polish white patients (OR 1.95, 95% CI: 1.07-3.53; P = 0.026). Although not statistically significant, Polish patients had an increased prevalence of total polyps (OR 1.22, 95% CI: 0.73-2.0; P = 0.23), large polyps (OR 1.69, 95% CI:0.88-3.22; P = 0.10), adenomas (OR 1.38, 95% CI: 0.81-2.32; P = 0.23), multiple adenomas (OR 1.63, 95% CI: 0.60-4.35; P = 0.33), and advanced adenomas (OR 1.85, 95% CI: 0.74-4.58; P = 0.18). We also found 2 cases of CRC in the Polish group and no cases in the non-Polish group (P = 0.15). CONCLUSION: These results show a statistically significant difference in the number of high-risk Polish vs. non-Polish white patients with an increase rate of CRC in the Polish group although not statistically significant. These findings warrant larger population based studies to further investigate the benefit of earlier screening for these patients similar to African Americans.

Perfil socioeconômico e qualidade de vida dos pacientes com protozooses intestinais

As doenças parasitárias causam sintomas que muitas vezes incapacitam o indivíduo na realização de suas atividades normais. Por isso este estudo objetiva avaliar o perfil socioeconômico e a qualidade de vida de pacientes com protozooses intestinais atendidos em um hospital universitário. Foi realizada uma pesquisa exploratória de natureza observacional transversal, através da aplicação do questionário de qualidade de vida SF-36, no laboratório de Análises Clínicas do Hospital Universitário Lauro Wanderley, entre Fevereiro e Agosto de 2017. Das 77 amostras analisadas, 27% foram positivas para protozoários, onde a espécie mais frequente foi Endolimax nana (52,38%), seguida por Entamoeba histolytica/dispar (23,82%) e Entamoeba coli (19,04%). A maioria dos entrevistados eram do sexo feminino (76%), com faixa etária maior que 30 anos (85,7%), ensino fundamental incompleto (38,1%) e renda familiar igual a um salário mínimo (81%). Quanto ao questionário de qualidade de vida SF-36, os domínios estado geral de saúde e dor apresentaram as menores médias: 50,19 e 59,14 respectivamente. Tem-se que a ocorrência de protozooses intestinais promovem impactos na qualidade de vida de indivíduos infectados, sendo necessário que haja investimentos em medidas de controle e prevenção das mesmas.
