Merangkul Feminis Cegah Ketidakadilan pada Istri dalam Kehidupan Rumah Tangga

Women suffer injustice not only through discrimination in the public world, but also through the way work is organized and income distribution within the family itself. The cruelest discrimination against women occurs when they have a family. Qualitative research method with a natural paradigm that relies on phenomenology. The approaches used are gender, intrinsic and anthropological approaches. The results show that family life patterns limit women's opportunities in many ways, by assigning them to unpaid work with low prestige; by not giving them equal opportunities for outside employment and education; by being forced to do most or all of the housework and childcare even though they also get paid. What is most disturbing is the suffering of women due to the altruism of marriage itself.

Transnational Families: Maintaining Relationships Across Borders

In an era characterized by globalization and mobility, the phenomenon of transnational families has become increasingly prevalent. These families, dispersed across national borders, strive to maintain familial bonds despite geographical separations. This letter explores the dynamics of transnational families, focusing on the methods they employ to preserve relationships and the challenges they encounter, drawing upon recent scholarly contributions to the field. In conclusion, transnational families embody the complexities and dynamism of contemporary family life in a globalized world. Through innovative communication practices, caregiving arrangements, and the maintenance of cultural ties, these families demonstrate remarkable resilience and adaptability. As globalization continues to shape the patterns of migration and family life, it is essential for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to pay close attention to the needs and experiences of transnational families. Addressing issues of accessibility, supporting caregiving arrangements, and fostering cultural connectivity are crucial steps in ensuring the well-being and cohesion of transnational families. As we move forward, it is vital to continue exploring and understanding the diverse ways in which families maintain their relationships across borders, adapting to the challenges and opportunities of a connected world.

THE EFFECT OF STRESS ON THE QUALITY OF THE PARENTAL ROLE OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM

Parents finding out that their child has been diagnosed with autism isa great stress, which changes family dynamics and patterns of family life. That is, great concern and the need to provide everything necessary for the adequate development and functioning of these children in everyday conditions. All these changes directly affect the quality of life of these families. The aim of the research was to examine the impact of stress on the quality of the parental role of children with autism, i.e. the difficulties and importance of these families compared to parents of children from the typical population.90 families participated in this study, 45 families with a child with autism and 45 families with children from the typical population. The age of children of both sexes is from seven to 10 years. Two measuring instruments wereused to assess the quality of life. The research results showed that parents of children with autism face a high level of stress, lower satisfaction with the parental role (38.87±49.78), a higher level of parenting burden (40.38±45.33) and the lower importance of the parental role (2.53±52.31) compared to parents of children in the typical population.Key words: autism, family, stress, quality oflife.

„Próbujemy być rodziną wielokulturową...” – dualistyczny przekaz dziedzictwa kulturowego (komunikat z badań)

In this article, intercultural education in a mixed family (in Catholic-Jewish marriages) is explored. In particular, my focus is on the construction of various secular and religious patterns of bicultural family life and the possible forms and content of intergenerational family transmission in the adult generation of Jews. The research conducted in 2018–2022 was based on the biographical method – a total of 15 in-depth interviews were carried out. In the article, only a part of a broader project is presented. The biographies of four women of Jewish origin are explored – three of them are representatives of the third post-war generation. All of them try to combine ethnic and dualistic education, due to the type of bicultural marriage or the attitude to the dominant culture. The analytical part is a short reconstruction of the type of family origin, self-identification, cultural definition of one’s own family and opinions regarding the transmission of the Jewish heritage of each woman. Statements of the participants of the research about the ways of celebrating double holidays are collected in a table. The narrators create a culturally open type of their own family and in one case a culturally declared type (according to Alicja Szerląg’s classification).

Prężność rodzinna – aspekty teoretyczne i praktyczne

Since 1930, there has been a shift from an interest only in the resilience of the individual to analyzing it in relation to the family as well. Family resilience is a process of positive adaptation of the entire family and its members, and effective coping with life’s adversities (Luthar et al., 2000). In addition to coping with the demands, family resilience enables development in the face of serious life challenges (Walsh, 2006, 2016). Using the key processes of resilience, a family facing difficulties can emerge stronger and more resourceful in the face of future challenges. Froma Walsh (2013) distinguishes three overarching domains of family resilience: the belief system, the organizational patterns of family life, and the communication and problem-solving process. Research on the post-traumatic growth indicates that a crisis can be a serious warning that increases family’s attention to the core values and important life issues; an opportunity to reassess life priorities that initiates the allocation of more time and attention to meaningful relationships (Tedeschi, Calhoun, 2004). The article presents the definitions and the history of the concept of family resilience. The Walsh model of family resilience is also presented and the practical implications of the model are discussed.

Family Life in Lockdown.

The lockdown imposed following the COVID-19 pandemic of spring 2020 dramatically changed the daily lives and routines of millions of people worldwide. We analyze how such changes contributed to patterns of activity within the household using a novel survey of Italian, British, and American families in lockdown. A high percentage report disruptions in the patterns of family life, manifesting in new work patterns, chore allocations, and household tensions. Though men have taken an increased share of childcare and grocery shopping duties, reallocations are not nearly as stark as disruptions to work patterns might suggest, and families having to reallocate duties report greater tensions. Our results highlight tightened constraints budging up against stable and gendered patterns of intra-household cooperation norms. While the long-run consequences of the COVID-19 lockdown on family life cannot be assessed at this stage, we point toward the likely opportunities and challenges.

Intrathecal Drug Therapy in Chronic Pain Management

Chronic pain impacts the quality of multiple functional domains, including family life, workplace performance, social interactions, and sleep patterns. The management of chronic pain continues to pose many challenges to healthcare providers. Intrathecal drug delivery systems (IDDS) provide an effective therapy for patients suffering from chronic pain intractable to medical management. to identify best practices and provide guidance to clinicians to ensure safety and optimize intrathecal drug delivery for chronic intractable pain management. This is a review article, The search was performed in MEDLINE, Embase, Pubmed and CINAHL Plus in the same date range with the following mediacl terms. Intrathecal drug (IT) delivery has many benefits compared with oral or parenteral routes for pain control. First, it allows for the use of significantly lesser doses of opioids. Second, it bypasses the first pass effect and the blood brain barrier. Third, patients typically experience fewer adverse effects (AEs) due to the decreased total dose of opioid used. However, IT therapy may be associated with complications related to many factors, including those related to the IT pump itself (e.g., mechanical failure), pump pocket fills, issues surrounding preparation of the IT medication and programming of the pump for medication release, and complications following pump implantation surgery. Optimal use of this therapy depends on a thorough understanding of intrathecal physiology and anatomy as well appreciation of physicochemical properties of administered medications and the mode of IT delivery.

Re-designing a Small Apartment for Two-child Families in Changchun, China

In China, many families living in small apartments are facing the problem of insufficient living space, especially since the implementation of the two-child policy. This project is based on this problem, targeting families in northern China to provide them with possibilities for small apartment living with their two children. At the same time, a malleable design was made for this apartment, that is a design that accommodates changes in the patterns of family life over time. This study explores how to increase the capacity of an existing apartment to meet the needs of Chinese family. Through the analysis of the life phase of each of the family members, the final result is a phased design of two modes applicable to the family. The two phases are: 1) the family model before the second child, 2) the family model after the second child. The final design uses movable walls, multi-functional furniture and increased storage space, satisfying the family's changing needs and offering a sense of spaciousness in a relatively small existing apartment.

Families, Relational Scenarios and Emotions in the Time of the COVID-19 Pandemic

This paper will focus on the impact that the COVID-19 emergency and the policies and decisions taken to deal with it (mostly lockdown and social distancing) have had on interpersonal relationships. In particular, it will explore the changes and relational scenarios which have emerged within the patterns of daily family life in the context of a temporary social deprivation caused by the pandemic. To explore this topic, the following contribution will draw on the most recent scientific literature on the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects moving within the theoretical framework of the sociology of emotions. The paper will also discuss how the exploration of emotional life, given its relational nature, can offer interesting sociological reflections on the consequences of COVID-19 on individuals’ perceptions of others and, in doing so, can also suggest new research paths to follow.

Explaining the dimensions of social support for breakfast and healthy snacks in students: a qualitative study.

breakfast elimination as well as consumption of low-value snacks is ever increasing among adolescents. This study sought to explain the dimensions of social support for breakfast and healthy snacks among students. A qualitative research was conducted in Isfahan, Tehran, and Khorramabad, Iran high schools in 2017-18. Data were obtained from five focus group discussions and 35 in-depth interviews as well as semi-structured interviews with students of both sex, parents and school authorities. The data simultaneously analyzed using conventional content analysis in three stages including preparation, organization, and reporting. Prolonged engagement, maximum variation of sampling and member check were the enrichment factors of the research. Three main categories emerged. First, family supports with sub- categories of family in the school programs as well as mother-sponsored support and family life patterns. Second, school supports with sub- categories of instrumental and informational support. And third, support of other community organizations with sub- categories of intra-department coordination and mass media. The concepts emerging in the present study develop multilevel ecological strategies to promote nutritional health including family, school, and community organizations such as school renovations, municipalities, police, education, and mass media to promote healthy breakfast and snack behavior are applicable for students.

Как изменения гендерных и межпоколенческих отношений влияют на демографическое поведение? Случай Ингушетии

Статья посвящена проблеме влияния гендерных и межпоколенческих отношений на брачно-репродуктивное поведение. Это влияние рассматривается на примере Республики Ингушетия, одного из северокавказских регионов, в семейном укладе населения которого межпоколенческие и гендерные асимметрии играют значимую роль. Анализируются результаты количественного опроса женщин репродуктивного возраста, проведенного в Ингушетии в 2019 г. Как показал анализ, ряд параметров, характеризующих экономическую самостоятельность женщины (наличие работы и образования), а также степень ее зависимости от старших родственников в принятии значимых жизненных решений обнаруживают статистическую связь с вероятностью вступления женщины в брак и рождения первого ребенка. При этом «направление» связи не всегда такое, как предсказывают имеющиеся теории. В частности, большая степень «традиционализма» гендерных и межпоколенческих отношений, как показал опрос, предполагает не более раннее, а, наоборот, более позднее вступление в первый брак. Авторы обсуждают возможные причины таких нестандартных результатов, уточняющих имеющиеся представления о возможном влиянии гендерных и межпоколенческих отношений на демографические процессы. Благодарность. Статья подготовлена в рамках выполнения научно-исследовательской работы государственного задания РАНХиГС. Авторы благодарят Дмитрия Рогозина и Надежду Галиеву за помощь в проведении телефонного опроса.

Szalom bajit – religijna rodzina żydowska i dziedzictwo kulturowe

&lt;p&gt;W artykule zaprezentowano wstępne wyniki badań realizowanych wśród polskich rabinów. Ich głównym celem było ustalenie wzorów żydowskiego życia rodzinnego oraz zidentyfikowanie głównych form i treści rodzinnego przekazu dziedzictwa kulturowego, pozostającego w dyspozycji rodzin religijnych. Projekt o charakterze jakościowym zakładał ustalenie czterech głównych elementów przekazu tradycji, wedle Jerzego Nikitorowicza są to: czynnościowy – mechanizmy przekazu, przedmiotowy – treści przekazywanych dóbr kultury, podmiotowy – nosiciele tradycji oraz edukacyjny. Na pierwszym etapie zrealizowano kilka wywiadów swobodnych (zbliżonych do eksperckich). Na podstawie wywiadów starano się wskazać na najistotniejsze konteksty dotyczące transmisji treści kulturowych we współczesnej rodzinie oraz istoty przekazu żydowskiego dziedzictwa religijnego i językowego.&lt;/p&gt;

'A fifty mile round trip to change a lightbulb': An exploratory study of carers' experiences of providing help, care and support to families and friends from a distance.

While the role of carers has been widely investigated, the experiences of those who care from a distance have been little explored, especially in the United Kingdom. However, contemporary patterns of family life suggest that this may be a significant experience for many. This exploratory study employed an anonymous online survey, conducted April-November 2017, to collect data about specific issues (experiences, challenges and satisfactions) faced by carers living at a distance requiring at least 1hr travel time (each way) from the person they support. One hundred and twenty-eight participant responses were analysed. Qualitative (thematic) analysis identified that 'distance carers' carry out multiple care tasks, both when with, and apart from, the person they care for. Distance creates specific challenges for carers who have to work to 'bridge the distance gap' and who cannot 'just drop in' and see the person they support. Distance further exposes carers to emotional, financial and temporal demands. The use of technologies or the availability of a wider support network may support distance carers, and some explore the viability of relocation. However, these potential support strategies were identified as 'fragile' and at risk of breaking down. Despite the challenges identified, distance carers also reported satisfactions derived from supporting their relative/friend. While the numbers of those providing distance care are unknown, this research suggests that this is a significant carer group, whose needs should be recognised in health and social care policy, practice and research.

Family Life in Lockdown

We present findings from a novel survey of Italian, British, and American families in lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic of spring 2020. A high percentage report disruptions in the patterns of family life, manifesting in new work patterns, chore allocations and household tensions. Though men have taken a greater share of childcare and grocery shopping duties, reallocations are not nearly as stark as disruptions to work patterns might suggest, and families having to reallocate duties report greater tensions. Our results paint a picture of tightened constraints budging up against stable and gendered patterns of intra-household cooperation. While the long-run consequences of the COVID-19 lockdown on family life cannot be assessed at this stage, we point towards the likely opportunities and challenges.
