Succession of Regional Heads Based on Kinship Relations Judging Concept of the Pancasila Legal State

<p>This research aims to examine in depth the existence of succession for Regional Heads using kinship relations in terms of the concept of the rule of law and formulate the implications of succession for Regional Heads based on kinship relations for the implementation of government duties in the region in the context of the rule of law. Indonesia, as stated in its constitution, adheres to the concept of a rule of law, this is attached to Article 1 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution "Indonesia is a rule of law". One indicator of the application of the concept of the rule of law in a sovereign state is the limitation of power in administering the state. The problem studied in this research is related to how the succession of Regional Heads is related to kinship relations in terms of the concept of the rule of law. The research method used in this research is normative juridical, where the author examines through literature study and analyzes based on various relevant literature. Succession of Regional Heads based on kinship relations in Indonesia has recently become a disturbing phenomenon. As an effort to limit the existence of dynastic politics, this has been done by issuing "Law Number 8 of 2015 concerning Amendments to Law Number 1 of 2015 concerning the Determination of PERPPU Number 1 of 2014 concerning the Election of Governors, Regents and Mayors, especially in Article 7 letter r" However, this provision was canceled by the Constitutional Court with the issuance of "Constitutional Court Decision Number 33/PUU-XIII/2015". So, the absence of regulations that provide restrictions on this phenomenon has caused the succession of Regional Heads based on kinship relations to become a bad precedent in state administration Rampant updates to this research are expected by the government and the DPR to issue regulations that place restrictions on incumbents being involved in conflicts of interest in the succession of regional heads who have kinship relationships</p>

Quality of life of individuals with serious mental illness and family caregivers

The well-being and satisfaction of individuals with serious mental illnesses (SMI) and their family caregivers are less than desirable. Research on the quality of life (QoL) of individuals with SMI and their caregivers, including disorders other than schizophrenia, is limited. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the self-perception of QoL in patients with SMI and their family caregivers and the associated factors. This cross-sectional study was conducted in patients with SMI and their caregivers who completed self-assessment instruments to determine their QoL. Social support and burden in caregivers and symptomatology levels in individuals with SMI were assessed. The physical aspect of QoL in individuals with SMI was associated with employment status and symptom severity. The physical component of caregivers’ QoL was associated with kinship relationship, the presence of other family members with disabilities, social support, and age. The mental component was associated with global symptomatology and the diagnosis of major depression in individuals with SMI and caregiver burden in family members. In conclusion, these findings on correlated factors of QoL in individuals with SMI and their caregivers could be used in developing therapeutic interventions for mental health.Plain summaryA significant number of people with serious mental health problems and their families often endure poor quality of life. However, research on how these individuals truly feel about their lives is limited. This study aimed to explore the perceptions of quality of life among individuals with serious mental health issues and their family caregivers in Spain. We sought to understand the personal sentiments of these individuals and their caregivers regarding their quality of life and the factors that influence it. Our findings indicate that job status, symptoms of the illness, and family relationships play crucial roles in how these individuals view their quality of life. Additionally, caregivers' age, support they receive, and the challenges they face in their families can influence their feelings. This implies that, to enhance their lives, it is crucial to consider these factors and provide appropriate support.

Inhuman Kinship at Insensible Depths

The Afrofuturist mythology of Drexciya rewrites violent colonial histories of dispossession, imagining submarine utopias in which the descendants of enslaved Africans live outside colonial orders. With this submersion, the Drexciyan mythos offers creative visions of oceanic futures—the result of climate change. I therefore ask; what might be learned from Drexciyan relations to the Earth? I first probe Drexciyan–Earth relations through Rivers Solomon’s The Deep (2019), in which Drexciyans espouse a mode of stewardship over the Earth. Taking up a critical problematization of the possibility of relating to an inhuman Earth vastly greater than ourselves, I explore how The Deep navigates the incommensurability between inhuman nature and human/Drexciyan being. I argue that The Deep ’s Drexciyans are constituted across orders of in/non/human matter, an insight I carry over to Ellen Gallagher’s painting Bird in Hand (2006). There, I find a kinship relation with inhuman matter that accommodates the radical incommensurability of the Earth: I articulate this kinship as a transcorporeal mutuality of be(com)ing with the Earth. Whilst recognizing the asymmetry between their own existence and the Earth’s, Drexciyans insist on a difficult kinship with it. Such kinship relations critique Western practices of extractivism, and probe other praxes of inhabiting the Earth.

METHODS OF KINSHIP ANALYSIS IN FOSSIL POPULATIONS

Introduction. Identifying kinship relationships from skeletal remains is among the various objectives of bioarchaeological studies. This article focuses on reviewing the methods used to analyze biological kinship in human fossil populations through non-metric traits. Methods. Since direct molecular-genetic analysis of kinship is often highly challenging due to the poor preservation of ancient DNA, special attention in such studies is given to nonmetric phenotypic traits. Results. Research with osteological samples that have been documented provides compelling evidence that the level of morphological similarity between individuals is directly related to their degree of biological kinship. In cases where the pedigrees of osteological materials are fully or partially known, phenotypic data can be effectively used in lieu of genetic information. Discussion. The methodology developed for kinship analysis depends on the internal spatial structure of the cemetery being studied. When analyzing small burial sites, the aim is to determine if the people buried there are close relatives. Various methods are used in these analyses, including different techniques for determining the likelihood of kinship, cluster analysis, and correlation coefficients. Identifying kinship is most promising in burial sites where archaeological or historical indicators of biological relationships are present. Kinship analysis in spatially structured cemeteries is aimed at identifying families or social groups. The analysis of uniformly distributed cemeteries focuses on identifying closely related individuals in large burials without clearly defined subgroups. This involves spatial correlation analysis, which tests for significant correlation between the matrix of spatial distances and the matrix of phenotypic distances; various counting methods to test for non-random clustering of traits; the nearest neighbor method; and a non-spatial block search procedure that simultaneously identifies presumed relatives and the traits that indicate the degree of their kinship. Conclusion. Many problems in establishing kinship can be overcome with the availability of skeletal material accompanied by verified genealogical data. Unfortunately, skeletal remains with preserved documentation are quite rare, limiting the opportunities to study the inheritance of non-metric traits and the morphological similarity of biologically related individuals.

Kekerabatan Bahasa Sasak dan Bahasa Mbojo

Comparative historical linguistic analysis is an approach in knowing the kinship relationship between one language and another. This study aims to determine the kinship between Sasak and Mbojo languages, by making a comparison between Sasak and Mbojo languages based on 200 Swadesh words. there were four informants used in this study to obtain the data, two speakers of Sasak and Mbojo languages respectively. The research instrument was the researcher herself assisted by a work analysis table listing 200 Swadesh vocabularies. This research is a qualitative-quantitative study using interview techniques in the process of obtaining the data. The results were then analyzed using the Lexicostatistical method, after which they were described. The results of this study indicate that Sasak language and Mbojo language are not only geographically close together, but the two languages are also related to one another with a kinship percentage of 19%. This is evidenced by the similarity of vocabulary in both languages. The Sasak and Mbojo languages are thought to have been a single language in 4256 – 3622 AD. Then the two languages, namely Sasak and Mbojo began to separate from their proton language between 2233 – 1599 AD (calculated in 2023). In Sasak and Mbojo languages, several phonemic correspondences are also found, namely /b/ ~ /w/, /t/ ~ /d/, /ʔ/ ~ /ø/, and /s/ ~ /ø/.

SOCIAL DEIXIS AMONG INDIAN TRANSGENDERS IN MALAYSIA

This study looks into the social deixis of six Indian transgenders who live in northern regions of Malaysia. The purpose of this study is to discover how social deixis (pronouns, names, and kinship relationships) are used by Indian transgenders and to determine the influence of social deixis on in-group and out-group formation among Indian transgenders. The social deixis used by Indian transgenders to indicate themselves is pointed out in this study, and they place themselves in relation to others who surround them. The research enables readers to make informed decisions in order to break the communication barriers and embrace transgenders for who they are without excluding them because of their languages. Findings in this study revealed that the transgenders used a social deixis approach in their daily communication, and it is also maintained that address forms are the best place to look at the close bond between language and society.

Everyday violence and care: insights from fictive kin relations between madams and sex workers in India

ABSTRACT This article intervenes in the globally polarised terrain of debates on violence and agency in sex work. With a critical eye on how developmentalism governs these debates, the article explores fictive kin relations between women in Sonagachi, a prominent red-light area in Eastern India. Through an analysis of ethnographic observations and life-history interviews among madams and sex workers across three brothel households, this article argues that the configuration of ‘family-like’ relationships needs to be understood against a backdrop of what ‘family’ implies for socio-economically marginalised women who sell sex in urban India. Specifically, experiences of choice and coercion within these relationships are predicated on how madams and sex workers respond to kosto, a vernacularised articulation of everyday violence in each other’s lives, through jotno or care. Through this, the article sheds light on everyday forms of harm and solidarity between women in a red-light area, challenging institutionalised exceptionalisms of violence within sex work.

THE INHERITANCE RIGHTS OF CHILDREN FROM MARRIAGE ARE NOT RECORDED ACCORDING TO THE MARRIAGE LAW AND THE COMPILATION OF ISLAMIC LAW

The inheritance rights of children from unregistered marriages is an important aspect of the Compilation of Islamic Law. Although legal marriages should be registered, there are many cases where unregistered marriages can have legal consequences, especially regarding the inheritance rights of children. This research aims to explore the understanding of the inheritance rights of children from unregistered marriages in accordance with the provisions in the Compilation of Islamic Law. This research uses a qualitative research method with a normative juridical approach that is carried out based on legislation which in this case includes kuhperdata, Law No. 1 of 1974. Data is obtained from sources of Law, Civil Code and journals. Data analysis is carried out to filter the data obtained and collected according to its type and finally draw conclusions from the findings obtained. The results showed that, the inheritance status of children from irri marriage according to the Marriage Law can only be obtained from the mother and her mother's family, but after the decision of the Constitutional Court, extra-marital children can get inheritance rights from their father if it can be proven legally and clearly that he has a blood relationship with his biological father. Meanwhile, the inheritance rights of irri marriage according to the Compilation of Islamic Law remain in accordance with their position which states that they only have a nasab relationship and inheritance relationship with their mother and their mother's family but not with their father. Parents can apply for itsbat, the determination of isbat nikah is the emergence of inheritance that gets legal protection because of the kinship or nasab relationship between the person who inherits and the person who inherits caused by birth. So children born in marriage are entitled to inheritance from their parents. If there is a rejection of itsbat nikah, the status of the child from the siri marriage does not have legal force. So children from irri marriages are not entitled to receive inheritance from their father.

Lineage Relations in The Axiology of Islamic Law (Hubungan Nasab dalam Aksiologi Hukum Islam)

In Islamic law, knowing one's lineage and preserving it plays a crucial role, as lineage occupies the fourth position among the five necessities (al-ḍaruriyyat al-khamsa). Without knowing the lineage relationship, it would be difficult for us to identify an individual and prevent someone from falsely claiming a lineage. This research aims to explore the virtuous values inherent in Islamic law concerning kinship relations. Furthermore, what is its relevance to axiology within the realm of philosophical inquiry? These questions are intriguing for investigation. To achieve this objective, the researcher adopts a qualitative descriptive methodology, where the data collection involves a literature review method focusing on relevant sources related to the problem being discussed. The findings of this study indicate that: (1) Lineage refers to kinship relationships, which come in various forms. (2) Axiology in philosophy studies value-related matters, encompassing ethics, aesthetics, and religion. (3) Similar to axiology, lineage holds both positive and negative values. Positive values of lineage include personal identity, honor, motivation, and exemplary behavior. On the other hand, negative values of lineage encompass sectarianism/ethnic fanaticism, arrogance, belittling other lineages, refusing to recognize other lineages, and lack of pride in one's lineage.

Morphological peculiarity of the fossil bison (<i>Bison priscus</i>) from Yakutia

The steppe bison (Bison priscus) is one of the most widespread and numerous representatives of the mammoth fauna. However, the features of the extinction of steppe bison at the end of the Pleistocene and their replacement by modern forms of the American bison (Bison bison) and European bison (Bison bonasus) have not yet been fully studied. Thus, complete skulls of fossil steppe bison are of great interest for studies on taxonomy and kinship relations in the genus Bison. This article presents the results of a study of the finely preserved skull of a fossil bison found in the Verkhoyansk district (Yakutia). This skull was compared by its morphological and osteometric features with other bison skulls, which were found at different times and locations in Upper Pleistocene deposits, as well as with the skulls of modern American bison Bison bison from the collection of the Zoological Museum of the Lomonosov Moscow State University. Standard morphometric indicators of bison skulls and horns were obtained using the Skinner and Kaisen measurement methods. Analysis showed that skulls of Bison priscus from Late Pleistocene sediments of Yakutia, according to most parameters, correspond to the maximum size of modern American bison Bison bison or even larger than the latter. The horns of bison from the Late Pleistocene are 1.5–2 times larger in size than the horns of modern bison and are comparable to those of the Middle Pleistocene long-horned bison B. p. crassicornis Richardson (=longicornis). The disproportion in the size of the skull and horns of the Late Pleistocene bison is due to their habitat in the open landscapes of the Arctic steppe. The morphological uniqueness of the steppe bison of the Late Pleistocene in Yakutia has prospects for further research, because it deserves to be identified as an independent taxon (subspecies), which is relevant for regional paleontology and stratigraphy.

Обряд «вопрошания имени» русской свадебной традиции как реликт похищения невесты

The aim of the study is to determine the origin and meaning of the ritual of “name questioning”, identified in several variants of the Russian wedding tradition during which the groom, bride, and several other individuals are required to state each other’s full names including their patronymics. This ritual could take place during the pre-wedding period, at the wedding ceremony itself, and in post-wedding customs. The paper presents a collection of materials on this aspect of wedding ritual, revealing the specificity of its connection to different stages of the wedding ceremony, its territorial prevalence, the participants involved, their kinship relationships, and their specific roles in the wedding event. The scientific originality of the study lies in collecting extensive material on this ritual, analyzing it using a comparative-historical approach, and drawing conclusions regarding its origins. The study showed that this ritual action represents a relic form of the bride abduction tradition once practiced among many peoples, including Eastern Slavs, which evolved into an agreement on marriage. This is supported by linguistic data – the etymology of the word ‘невеста’ (bride), derived from ‘неизвестная’ (unknown), and a number of peculiarities in ritual actions, such as the involvement of the “groom’s companion” acting as the equivalent of the best man at the Russian wedding.

Modelling social networks for children of parents with severe and enduring mental illness: an evidence based modification to the network episode model.

The Network Episode Model (NEM) is a well utilised model conceptualising how social networks, valuable resources which can positively impact wellbeing and functional outcomes, are responsive to the needs of people with physical and mental health difficulties. Children of parents with severe and enduring mental illness (COPMI) are impacted by these illnesses through the intersecting roles of kin relation, informal carer, and dependent. However, it is not clear that social networks effectively respond in kind to the child's episodic need.We draw upon qualitative data to propose a new multi-factorial conceptual model (COPMI-NEM), triangulating parental mental illness, child's developmental stage and social ties to theorise how social networks do respond and adapt to children's needs.The model illustrates how networks are typically flexible and responsive to visible age-related needs, but less reactive to more obscured needs. Successful network navigation and negotiation of support relies on multiple factors including the child's ability to successfully activate social ties and the availability of formal networks. We propose a new theoretically and empirically informed NEM model also available for testing, refinement and validation in other young carer populations exposed to episodic parental health needs. Findings from this study could be used to generate network informed interventions for this and comparable populations.

Diversity of Banana Plant Types (Musa spp) in Kuala Dua Village, Sungai Raya District, Kubu Raya Regency

This research aims to determine the diversity and relationships of banana varieties (Musa spp) based on morphological characters. This research was conducted from January to April 2023 in 4 hamlets, namely Dusun Keramat 1, Dusun Keramat ll, Dusun Karya l, and Dusun Kary ll in Kuala Dua Village, Sungai Raya District, Kubu Raya Regency, West Kalimantan. There were 41 morphological characters observed including vegetative, generative and quantitative characters. Analysis of kinship relationships using the UPGMA (Unweighted Pair-wise Multivariate Analysis) method with the NTSYS ver 2.0 application is presented in the form of a dendrogram. In this research, 13 varieties were obtained, namely kapok bananas, crew bananas, 40 day bananas, cavendish bananas, green cooking bananas, chestnut bananas, mas bananas, Malaysian bananas, king bananas, areca nut bananas, Ambon bananas, red kak bananas, and prawn bananas. The results of the grouping analysis showed that 13 banana varieties had a similarity level of 39% and formed two main groups, namely groups A and B. Group A consisted of kapok bananas, crew bananas, red kak bananas, chestnut bananas, king bananas, areca nut bananas and prawn bananas. Group B consists of 40 day bananas, mas bananas, cavendish bananas, green ripe bananas and Malaysian bananas. At a similarity level of 83%, each banana variety forms a group within its respective variety.

Виды родства и их категоризация в разных лингвокультурах (на материале русского, кабардинского и английского языков)

The aim of the study is to identify the principles of categorization of kinship in different languacultures – Russian, Kabardian and English. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time, with the involvement of the Kabardian language, a comparative analysis of the conceptualization of kinship and kinship relations in the worldviews of the languages under consideration was carried out. As a result of the study, similarities and differences were identified in the principles of understanding kinship created on the basis of the presence of common immediate ancestors (kinship by blood), as well as established as a result of marital family relations (kinship by marriage). It was revealed that in the Russian and English linguistic consciousness, kinship is conceptualized broadly, according to which the general terms designating this category (cf. ‘родство’ и ‘kinship’) simultaneously serve to nominate kinship by blood and marriage. Moreover, it was found that in the Kabardian language, there is no general term that conceptually correlates with Russian and English units, both as scientific and everyday terms. Instead, the Kabardian language has two specific terms denoting kinship by blood and marriage, respectively.

Family History in the Iberian Peninsula during Chalcolithic and Bronze Age: An Interpretation through the Genetic Analysis of Plural Burials

Throughout history, it has been observed that human populations have buried the deceased members of their communities following different patterns. During the Copper Age and the Bronze Age—periods on which this study focuses—in the northern sub-plateau of the Iberian Peninsula, we identified different patterns of multiple or collective burial. This work analyzes a total of 58 individuals buried in different multiple or collective graves, to investigate whether the practice of these burials implies a family or biological link between individuals buried together. With this aim, STR markers of nuclear DNA were analyzed, as well as the hypervariable regions I and II of mitochondrial DNA, establishing both close kinship relationships and relationships through maternal lineage. We observed different burial patterns, detecting certain maternal lines preserved in some common burials maintained over time. Close family relationships were observed to a lesser extent, with some occasional exceptions. The results of the analysis formed the basis for a discussion on the concepts of family and community.

Detailed kinship estimation for detecting bias among breeding families in a reintroduced population of the endangered bagrid catfish Tachysurus ichikawai

AbstractIn the context of initiatives focused on captive breeding and reintroduction of endangered animal species, it is crucial to minimize any bias in reproductive success during the reintroduction phase in order to preserve genetic diversity. One population of Tachysurus ichikawai, a critically endangered bagrid catfish endemic to Japan, faces a threat from the construction of a dam. To address this, a captive breeding program followed by translocation is being implemented. Multiple breeding families are involved in this process; however, if there is a bias in reproductive success among them after release, it will result in a decline in genetic diversity. To ascertain potential biases of reproductive success among released individuals, we attempted to identify the familial lineage of individuals born at the release site. Due to the unavailability of samples from the released individuals themselves, we reconstructed the pedigree of three generations using distant kinship relationships, such as grandparent–grandchild and uncle–aunt–nephew–niece relationships, with data of 2230–5674 single‐nucleotide polymorphisms obtained from whole genome re‐sequence, and three different software. Our findings indicate no bias between lineages in the first year after reintroduction, but a significant bias in the second year, emphasizing the need for continuous management and monitoring of reintroduced populations. This study demonstrates that monitoring kinship after reintroduction can correct lineage bias, which is critical for the prompt restoration of genetic diversity.

Audio-Visual Kinship Verification: A New Dataset and a Unified Adaptive Adversarial Multimodal Learning Approach.

Facial kinship verification refers to automatically determining whether two people have a kin relation from their faces. It has become a popular research topic due to potential practical applications. Over the past decade, many efforts have been devoted to improving the verification performance from human faces only while lacking other biometric information, for example, speaking voice. In this article, to interpret and benefit from multiple modalities, we propose for the first time to combine human faces and voices to verify kinship, which we refer it as the audio-visual kinship verification study. We first establish a comprehensive audio-visual kinship dataset that consists of familial talking facial videos under various scenarios, called TALKIN-Family. Based on the dataset, we present the extensive evaluation of kinship verification from faces and voices. In particular, we propose a deep-learning-based fusion method, called unified adaptive adversarial multimodal learning (UAAML). It consists of the adversarial network and the attention module on the basis of unified multimodal features. Experiments show that audio (voice) information is complementary to facial features and useful for the kinship verification problem. Furthermore, the proposed fusion method outperforms baseline methods. In addition, we also evaluate the human verification ability on a subset of TALKIN-Family. It indicates that humans have higher accuracy when they have access to both faces and voices. The machine-learning methods could effectively and efficiently outperform the human ability. Finally, we include the future work and research opportunities with the TALKIN-Family dataset.

Antinomy of Biological Father's Liability to Out-of-Marriage Children in Notary Deed

Constitutional Court Decision Number 46/PUU-VIII/2010 impacts the position of a child out of wedlock. With the enactment of the decision, a legal relationship arises between the child out of wedlock and his biological father. This article discusses the position of children out of wedlock after the decision is made and how the decision is applied in a notarial deed. The method used in this study is the normative legal method, in which research analyzes norms, laws, regulations, and legal theory related to applying the abovementioned decisions in the context of civil relations of illegitimate children in a notarial deed. Constitutional Court Decision Number 46/PUU-VIII/2010 shows that it cannot be directly applied as a basis for kinship relations between illegitimate children and their fathers. However, this relationship can be recognized through a court decision taking into account science and technology and other relevant evidence.

KESANTUNAN BERBAHASA TERHADAP HUBUNGAN KEKERABATAN MASYARAKAT BAROMBONG KOTA MAKASSAR

The aim of this research is to describe forms of politeness and forms of politeness violations in the Makassar language towards kinship relations in the Barombong community of Makassar City. This type of research is qualitative research. Data was collected through the method of listening, being involved, taking notes and recording. This research data is in the form of words, phrases and sentences. The data source for this research is the speech of parents and children. Data analysis was carried out by researching transcription of data recorded during conversations in the field. The next process was data reduction, analyzing data, presenting data and drawing conclusions. The validity of the data is obtained from the triangulation process using the triangulation technique of methods, data sources, observers and theory. The results of the research show that the principles of politeness in language are in the form of (1) maxim of wisdom (2) maxim of acceptance, (3) maxim of praise, (4) maxim of humility, (5) maxim of agreement and (6) maxim of sympathy. The forms of violation of language politeness maxims are (1) wisdom maxim, (2) acceptance maxim, (3) praise maxim, (4) humility maxim, (5) agreement maxim and (6) sympathy maxim

The Burden and Quality of Life in Caregivers of Individuals With Stroke During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Turkey: A Cross-Sectional Study

This study investigated the caregiving burden, quality of life and life satisfaction of caregivers of individuals with stroke during the pandemic period. A descriptive a study was performed with a sample of caregivers (n = 80) of inpatient individuals with stroke in Kayseri, Turkey. The Bakas Caregiving Outcomes Scale, Short Form Health Survey-36, and Temporal Satisfaction with Life Scale were used as well as some open-ended questions. Using descriptive analysis and correlations, results showed that caregiving burden of the participants was correlated to quality of life and life satisfaction during the COVID-19 (p < 0.05). Specific types of burden include: stress, isolation, financial issues, disruption of therapy, patient-caregiver relationship, and kinship relations. These findings provide important information about the increased burden of caregivers during the pandemic. This study offers information to design a framework of interventions to reduce the physical, social, and psychological effects on caregivers in similar conditions.
