Published: September 2021

Introduction: From the moment of conception the human being is predisposed to undergo changes in fetal and neonatal development due to various external factors that occur throughout life and can in the long term influence the phenotypic expression of the new being. Objective: The objective of this work is to determine the relationship between the environment, nutrition, genetics, epigenetics and microbiota with neonatal fetus development and how they influence the phenotypic expression of the new being. Methods: A non-systematic search was performed in electronic databases such as COCHRANE, PUBMED, MEDLINE, etc. The bibliographic research was carried out in the period between October 2019 and January 2020. The studies carried out from 2007 to 2019, in the languages of Spanish and English, were included. Results: We found 51 bibliographic sources related to the subject, of which by means of a last simplification, 30 scientific articles were used that provided important information on the subject, and 21 articles were excluded. Conclusion: Research on methods to detect these interactions and to understand the mechanisms of these interactions is just beginning. However, there is evidence that they play an important role in human development.
Keywords: neonatal development, epigenetics, microbiota, fetal development, nutrition.

Kozakoznawstwo jako nurt naukowy – perspektywy, stan i możliwości
Authors: Ławrynow Daria
Published: September 2021

Artykuł naświetla różne podejścia badawcze w kwestii badań nad Kozaczyzną, metodologię, wykorzystywaną przy analizie obiektu badawczego w ośrodkach naukowych Ukrainy, Rosji, Kazachstanu i Polski. Ów obiekt badawczy był traktowany niejednoznacznie z racji swej tradycyjnej specyfiki społeczności transgranicznej, opartej na demokracji militarnej. W związku z powyższym Kozaczyzna była postrzegana zarówno jako oddzielny naród, grupa etniczna, orda azjatycka bądź też rosyjska lub ukraińska zmilitaryzowana warstwa społeczna. W ukraińskim dyskursie naukowym Kozacy byli tradycyjnie postrzegani jako warstwa państwotwórcza, w przeciwieństwie do rosyjskiej szkoły badawczej, często traktującej Kozactwo jako lokalne siły zbrojne albo burzycieli tradycyjnego porządku. Natomiast w polskiej nauce Kozaczyzna tradycyjnie była wplatana w polską perspektywę historyczną. Zdaniem autorki porównanie różnych podejść badawczych pomoże w wypracowaniu całościowego nurtu badawczego i metodologii kozakoznawstwa.
“Addiction is a strange bastard”: Alcohol(ism) in Irish Fiction
Authors: Klepuszewski Wojciech
Published: September 2021

Although it is hard to challenge the claim that alcohol can be considered inherent in Irish culture, the common perception of the fact often feeds on clichés. What helps understand this question is Irish literature. On the one hand, it portrays jubilant festivity to be found in many literary works; on the other, it renders the drama behind alcohol dependency, shifting the focus from joviality towards the more murky aspects of drink consumption, mostly thematised in contemporary literature. This article takes a closer look at how Irish literature renders alcohol use and abuse, and how the literary representations offer a broader perspective, allowing to reconsider some of the stereotypical notions of the proverbial Irish propensity for drink.
Wróżki w przebraniu. Recepcja baśni pani d’Aulnoy w Polsce – rekonesans badawczy
Authors: Kaczyńska Barbara
Published: September 2021

Niniejszy artykuł podejmuje problematykę recepcji baśniowej twórczości Marie-Catherine d’Aulnoy w Polsce od XVIII wieku po dzień dzisiejszy. Omówione w nim zostają zarówno przekłady, jak i adaptacje wydawane z mylną atrybucją jako baśnie Charles’a Perraulta oraz utwory luźno inspirowane twórczością francuskiej baśniopisarki. Różnorodność jej utworów przekłada się na zróżnicowanie recepcji, obejmującej zarówno uproszczone teksty dla dzieci, jak i poemat fantastyczno-moralizatorski. Z drugiej strony, rokokowe baśnie d’Aulnoy, realizujące XVII-wieczne salonowe wzorce estetyczne i podejmujące ironiczną grę z dydaktyczną konwencją baśni, nie mieszczą się w ramach wyznaczonych przez żywy wciąż stereotyp baśni jako gatunku prostego, jednoznacznego moralnie i przeznaczonego przede wszystkim dla dzieci. Z tej nieprzystawalności baśni d’Aulnoy do utartych przekonań mogą wynikać ich niepełne odczytania oraz ograniczony zakres i wybiórczość recepcji w Polsce.

Bundled package of home loans and insurance are a natural phenomenon. Banks treat insurance as the primary security for the credit. For the consumer–borrower can help in financial difficulty. The purpose of insurance added to the loan is to reduce the risk of inability of borrowers to pay back their loans to banks and to ensure the safety of the insured or beneficiary of the insurance policy Therefore, insurance added to the loans should effectively protect borrowers. However, bundled package entails the risk of mismatching the insurance cover with the individual policy-holder insurance needs. Consumer–borrower may not be aware of the scope of insurance protection, which results from the insurance contract and general insurance terms and conditions. Therefore, in order to properly understand the offer of insurance, it becomes necessary to familiarize the borrower–the consumer with the general insurance conditions. However, as research shows, there is a big problem on the insurance sector with unintelligible insurance policy.

The purpose of the article/hypothesis: The aim of the article is to compare and assess the scope of insurance cover based on the provisions of the general conditions of life insurance added to home loans by the two largest banks in Poland.

Methodology: The article uses a comparative analysis of the scope of insurance cover on the based on provisions of the general conditions of insurance. The following categories have been selected from the general conditions of insurance: subject of insurance, definitions of events covered by the liability of the insurer, nature of benefits, amount of insurance and exclusions and limitations of liability.

Results of the research: the analysis of the scope of insurance cover at selected banks in the article shows that selected categories from the general terms and conditions of insurance limit the potential level of insurance cover. After reviewing the general terms and conditions of insurance, consumer–borrower is not sure whether he will get help from the insurer when he needs it.
Badacz wobec badanego. Różne dyscypliny ― jedna perspektywa

The paper presents a variety of approaches towards the researched during qualitative research and their subsequent analysis on the example of educational and historical research. It has been elaborated by a duet — an educator and a historian — whose main area of interest is the relationship between the researcher and the researched embroiled in a situational context and deeply rooted in a social and humanistic perspective. We discuss our experience, which although set in various disciplines, has a common denominator, i.e. a biography and reading it. Our paper shows the area of scientific exploration experience which combines the two disciplines, since both educators and historians face similar problems in carrying out qualitative research.
Production Potential of Pigeon Pea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] as Influenced by Crop Geometry and Plant Growth Regulators
Authors: Pawar S.U. , Narkhede W.N. , Gokhale D.N. , Mirza I.A.B.
Published: September 2021

Background: Pigeonpea being highly branching and indeterminate growth habit responds very well to crop geometry. Hence to achieve potential yields, it is important to maintain optimum plant population which can effectively utilize available moisture, nutrients and solar radiation. The plant growth regulators are also known to enhance the source sink relationship and stimulate the translocation of photo assimilates, thereby increase the productivity. Methods: A field experiment was conducted at experimental farm of Agronomy Department, V.N.M.K.V., Parbhani during kharif season of 2018 and 2019. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with four main plot treatments comprised of four crop geometries as 90 cm x 20 cm, 120 cm x 20 cm 60-120 cm x 20 cm and 75-150 cm x 20 cm and sub plot treatments were five treatments on foliar application of plant growth regulators i.e. NAA @ 40 ppm, Mepiquat chloride @ 50 g a.i. ha-1, Brassinosteroids @ 0.1 ppm, Chlormequat Chloride @ 75 g a.i ha-1 and control. Result: The crop geometry of 120 cm x 20 cm and 75-150 cm x 20 cm recorded higher values of all yield parameters followed by crop geometry of 60-120 cm x 20 cm. While the seed, straw and biological yield of pigeonpea as well as highest net realization of Rs. 72072 ha-1 was obtained with crop geometry of 60-120 cm x 20 cm followed by 90 cm x 20 cm. Among the plant growth regulators foliar application of Brassinosteroids @ 0.1 ppm (G3) tended to recorded higher yield parameters, seed yield and fertility coefficient of pigeonpea as well as highest net realization followed by foliar application of NAA @ 40 ppm.

Published: September 2021

Background: Globally, grain legumes are the paramount family of agricultural crops following cereals. Generally, sequence cropping has manifested effectual in increasing farm productivity and profitability. However, sometimes herbicides administered in previous crop may be associated with phytotoxic effects that can later cause damage to the succeeding crops. The present study aimed to understand the residual effect of extreme levels of atrazine on succeeding cowpea under maize-cowpea cropping system. Methods: Field experiments were conducted during Kharif and rabi season of 2019-20 and 2020-21 in a randomized block design with eleven treatments, replicated thrice. Result: Residual effect of pre-emergence atrazine at 0.50 kg a.i. ha-1 followed by tembotrione at 120g a.i. ha-1 as post-emergence at 25 DAS recorded the lowest total weed density (4.41), total weed dry weight (9.81 g m-2) and highest weed control efficiency (39.25%) during rabi 2019-20 while during rabi 2020-21 lowest total weed density (5.03), total weed dry weight (10.68 g m-2) and highest weed control efficiency (39.65%) were noticed in pre-emergence atrazine 50% WP at 2.00 kg a.i. ha-1. Highest seed yield (788.67 and 842.33 kg ha-1) was obtained in weed free treatment.

Published: September 2021

El presente artículo está basado en el Capítulo 4. Planificación de operaciones de construcción del libro Administración de Operaciones de Construcción del Ing. Alfredo Serpell Bley (Chile), tratando de actualizar y adaptar la información, así como tropicalizar, y ejemplificar a la realidad, que se vive en el sector construcción en Costa Rica. El Ingeniero Serpell indica que la planificación de operaciones: “depende de los administradores de obra y tiene la influencia más directa sobre la productividad. El contexto del estudio de la planificación de operaciones estará dentro del marco de la planificación global del proyecto, por lo que permanentemente se destacarán las interrelaciones entre la una y la otra y, en especial, el hecho de que la planificación de operaciones es un subproducto de la planificación general del contrato o proyecto.” [1]. En el ámbito de la construcción se entiende por operación a: la actividad de trabajo ya sea colocación o instalación de un elemento de construcción. El Ingeniero Serpell menciona que un proceso es: “una colección de tareas relacionadas entre ellas por una estructura tecnológica y una secuencia. Finalmente, una tarea es el elemento de trabajo más básico de los procesos y operaciones.” [1].

Authors: Saxena Vivek
Published: September 2021

In the present scenario, world is progressing in the direction of energy crisis and severe ecological concerns due to the excessive utilization of non-renewable resources. Fossil fuel reserves are inadequate and produce hazardous geological contamination throughout the energy extraction. To meet such challenges, active amalgamation of renewable energy resources (RER) with distributed generation (DG) is the only way to progressing in future. Demand response scheme and battery storage is also essential for the reliable and consistent energy generation and efficient utilization. The role of RER in the evolution of DG is presented in this paper. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the barricades, reimbursements and influence of renewable energy based DG planning and framework. Moreover, a comparative assessment of renewable DG optimization based on optimization criteria and enhanced outcomes are evaluated for this futuristic atmospheric friendly approach.
Culture et Modèle de l’acteur Socio-économique : Cas du Congo
Authors: Mfouka Hilarion Josaphat
Published: September 2021

Cet article montre que la situation d’existence d’un acteur détermine l’interaction. Pour le démontrer, on caractérise cette situation par une culture qui impacte l’acteur socio-économique à travers la personnalité de base ou l’organisation de l’interaction. La personnalité de base ou l’organisation incarne les attitudes et comportements communément reconnus ou partagés. La culture et la personnalité de base sont des dispositions régulières du capital humain mobilisées dans la décision et l’action à travers une organisation. Dans le cas du Congo, la culture est appréhendée à travers des hypothèses résultant d’un constat, d’un vécu ou d’une perception régulière des congolais ou de l’environnement social du Congo. De ces hypothèses, on anticipe les attitudes et comportements attendus des acteurs à partir de la norme sociale. Les hypothèses ont été testées et confirmées dans une enquête. Elles sont aussi confirmées par d’autres analyses et données sur le Congo. Les résultats montrent que la culture mise en évidence est irrationnelle -au sens de l’économie ou de la gestion- et favorable au sous-développement. L’irrationalité se traduit surtout par la déviance, l’opacité, l’absence de liberté ou d’État de droit, le mysticisme et les traditions. Cette irrationalité s’accompagne d’une culture du sous-développement caractérisée par la pauvreté, la dépendance à l’étranger et la prépondérance des activités informelles. Il en découle une personnalité sociale inadaptée face aux défis du développement et de l’intégration dans l’économie mondiale.

This article shows that the existence situation of an actor determines the interaction. To demonstrate this, we characterize this situation by a culture that impacts the socio-economic actor through the basic personality or the organization of the interaction. The basic personality or organization embodies commonly recognized or shared attitudes and behaviors. Basic culture and personality are regular dispositions of human capital mobilized in decision and action through an organization. In the case of Congo, culture is understood through hypotheses resulting from an observation, experience, or regular perception of the Congolese or of the social environment of the Congo. From these assumptions, the expected attitudes and behaviors of the actors based on the social norm was anticipated. The hypotheses were tested and confirmed in a survey. They are also confirmed by other data analysis on Congo. The results show that the highlighted culture is irrational - in the sense of economics or management - and favorable to underdevelopment. Irrationality manifests itself above all in deviance, opacity, lack of freedom or the rule of law, mysticism, and traditions. This irrationality is accompanied by a culture of underdevelopment characterized by poverty, dependence on foreign countries, and the preponderance of informal activities. The result also shows a social personality unsuited to the challenges of development and integration into the world economy.
The Demand and Effects of Accountability and Efficient Utilization of Resources by Donors of Local NonGovernmental Organisations (NGOS): A Qualitative Assessment of Some Selected NGOS in the Central Region of Ghana
Authors: Essel Emmanuel Abeku
Published: September 2021

Accountability is a critical notion in social policy because it underpins a government or private actor's efforts to deliver services to client groups and execute social programs. Over the last few decades, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) have become an integral part of most countries' organizational landscape which plays an intermediary role between donors and beneficiaries. To ensure the efficient utilization of resources, NGOs are required to be accountable to the two main stakeholders they serve: donors and beneficiaries. There are challenges in evaluating performance criteria, particularly when it comes to measurable effect indicators. The argument is that the impact of other variables on NGOs renders interpretative and strategic responsibility difficult. This article explains the forms and how accountability is practiced in Non-Governmental Organizations in Ghana. This paper focuses on exploring how accountability is influenced by the organizational missions and values. The study adopted an in-depth interpretive case study approach using two selected organizations in the Central Region of Ghana. Data was gathered by way of interviews and documentary review. In total, 10 interviews were conducted in the selected organizations. The study revealed that the accountability systems were both upward and downward towards donors. The study therefore proposes that donors should show a much greater commitment to accountability, and actively involve beneficiaries in the process of accountability in obtaining genuine benefits.

Published: September 2021

Ghana is currently running a new teacher education program for the training of teachers at the pre-tertiary level. At the heart of the new national teacher education program is Supported Teaching in School (STS), the practical school-based component of the teacher education program embedded throughout the whole 4-years. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of STS in pre-service teacher preparation and identify any possible challenges associated with the program. The study adopted qualitative a case study design, with the main instruments for data collection being interviews and documentary analysis. Data collection was done through individual and focus group interviews, and documentary analysis of Student Reflective Journals. Individual interviews were conducted for six pre-service science teachers and the focus group interview was made up of four pre-service teachers using the Ishikawa or fishbone tool. From the analysis of data done using “topological analysis,” it was revealed that supported teaching in school is impacting on the pre-service preparation in; real classroom exposure giving them firsthand experience of the classroom situation; lesson planning and delivery; teacher professionalism as the pre-service teachers now exposed to traits of the teaching profession and qualities of a good teacher; and classroom management for effective lesson delivery. Particular challenges such as mentor-mentee relationship, lack of proper planning, and insufficient time for observation were identified to militate against the program. It is recommended that, appropriate training and incentives should be given to the mentors to prepare them adequately for the program.
The Impact of Deductive, Inductive and Mixed Methods of Instruction on EFL Students’ Public Speaking Skill (A Case of Georgian Higher Educational Institution)
Authors: Gadakhabadze Ana
Published: September 2021

The paper aims to assess EFL students’ abilities to master public speaking skills at higher educational levels when applying different teaching approaches: inductive, deductive, and mixed (inductive & deductive) ones. Public speaking samples, namely TED talk videos, were used for observation and inspection during the teaching procedure, accompanied by various public speaking tasks and assessment rubrics that students participated in. The fortyseven video-taped public speaking performances, which were prepared and delivered by the participants, were analyzed and scored with the help of Public Speaking Competence Rubric (PSCR). The speeches were assessed by the researcher and some other expert and non-expert raters, as well as students themselves to maintain objectivity and avoid any kind of bias. Students were all informed about and taught the criteria that the PSCR involves during the studying procedure. The experiment was based on students representing B2 level of English language according to Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and it was carried out at one of the private HEIs in Tbilisi, Georgia. Statistical data were collected through pre, while and postexperimental tests in terms of public speaking performance and later analyzed in the SPSS program. According to the research results, TED Talk video samples have a positive impact on EFL students’ public speaking skills quality when accompanied by mixed (inductive and deductive) methodological teaching approaches. Particularly they improved their gesturing and posture, the majority of them overcame the stage fright (standing and speaking in front of an audience), their speeches became more organized.

Authors: Tsulaia Nino
Published: September 2021

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Data-Driven Learning of grammar on Georgian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) University students’ grammar achievement. The study used a quasiexperimental research design with a quantitative approach. The sample of the research was 44 Georgian EFL students of Sokhumi State University, divided into experimental and control groups with 22 students in each. The experimental group was instructed English grammar using the Data-Driven Learning method and the control group was taught by conventional, explicit grammar teaching approach. The result of the paired-samples T-test showed that there was a significant difference in the scores for the control group (M=62.13, SD=14.46) and experimental group (M=1.5, SD=0.58) conditions; t=8.3, df=3, significance p=0.003<0.05. Thus, the difference between control and experimental group achievements was statistically valuable, Data-Driven group students achieved significantly higher results than the traditional teaching group students. A questionnaire was applied to evaluate experimental group students’ perceptions of the Data-Driven Learning method. The results showed that students felt positive about the DDL method. Based on students‘ achievements and evaluation of the method, it can be inferred that Data-Driven Grammar Learning is an effective grammar instruction method. It builds a student-centered learning environment with improved classroom interaction, enhanced autonomous learning, and increased student engagement. It offers real-life language exploration possibilities and a skills-oriented grammar teaching process.
Genre et pouvoir de prise de décision du type et de l’heure de repas: implications pour la sécurité alimentaire des ménages au Nord-Bénin (Afrique de l’Ouest)
Authors: Egah Janvier , Ghazi Ibrahim El , Baco Mohamed Nasser , Kestemont Marie-Paule
Published: September 2021

Le genre se trouve au centre des débats sur l’insécurité alimentaire des ménages. La présente étude vise à analyser l’influence de la participation des deux sexes au processus de prise de décision de l’heure de prise de repas et du type de repas consommé dans les ménages. Elle a été réalisée au Nord-Bénin auprès de 295 ménages aléatoirement sélectionnés. Les données collectées à l’aide d’un questionnaire digitalisé ont porté sur les caractéristiques socioéconomiques, le sexe du preneur de décision de l’heure de prise de repas et du type de repas consommé, les huit questions de l’échelle d’expérience de l’insécurité alimentaire des ménages. La statistique descriptive et la régression linéaire ont été utilisées pour analyser les données. Les résultats révèlent que la prise de décision unilatérale de l’heure de prise de repas par l’homme ou la femme a affecté négativement le niveau de sécurité alimentaire des ménages par rapport aux ménages dans lesquels la décision est prise par les deux sexes. Le choix du type de repas par l’homme a amélioré le niveau de sécurité alimentaire des ménages plus que les ménages où la décision est bilatérale. La dépense alimentaire de l’homme a négativement affecté le niveau de sécurité alimentaire des ménages alors que celle de la femme a contribué à son amélioration. La taille de ménage a influencé positivement le niveau de sécurité alimentaire des ménages. La promotion du genre doit être renforcée pour faciliter les décisions bilatérales de l’heure de prise de repas et responsabiliser les hommes face aux dépenses alimentaires.

Data collected using a digitized questionnaire included socioeconomic characteristics, gender of the decision-maker of mealtime and type of meal consumed, the eight questions of the Household Food Insecurity Experience Scale,, etc. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and linear regression. The results reveal that unilateral decision-making on mealtimes by either the man or the woman negatively affected the level of household food security more than households in which the decision is made by both sexes. Man’s choice of meal type improved household food security more than households where the decision is bilateral. Man's food expenditure negatively affected the level of household food security, while women's expenditure has contributed to its improvement. Household size positively influenced the level of household food security. Gender promotion should be strengthened to facilitate bilateral decisions of mealtime and empower men to take responsibility for the food expenditures of their households.
The Accessory Nature of the Penalty and the Peculiarities of Payment
Authors: Nandoshvili Ekaterine
Published: September 2021

This paper focuses on analyzing the accessory nature of the penalty, the peculiarities of its payment, and the legislative provisions regulating the penalty. It also presents their shortcomings and criticizes the wrong opinions in the legal literature on the concept and types of the penalty. The penalty is considered as the institutions with only accessory nature. Reduction of the penalty requires the debtor's counterclaim, without which the court is deprived of the possibility of reducing the penalty. The provision of Article 417 of the Civil Code is considered a serious legislative gap by the paper. The novelty is the provisions of the paper and the necessity of introducing norms on legal penalties in the Civil Code is substantiated, without which the case law may become a factor of unjustified violation of the rights of the participants of the private relations. There is also substantiated provision, which refutes the validity of the opinion of the authors who exclude the initiative of the court in the issue of reduction of the penalty. The aim of this paper is to analyze certain aspects of the regulation of penalties, which, together with the theoretical aspects, have practical significance that will provide better understanding of a number of issues as well as the correct qualification of the rights and obligations arising from the payment of penalties. Logical and systematic analysis of norms, as well as comparative-legal methods, are used to achieve the above-mentioned goal. Using these methods, it is possible to determine the progressiveness of Georgian law norms and to identify existing gaps in them. This further provides a better understanding of their content so as to develop suggestions and recommendations to improve the norms and practices. Problems are analyzed on the examples of Georgian and German civil law. In terms of types and concepts of penalties, common characteristics and shortcomings between Georgian and German models were revealed. The efficiency of the Georgian model was also examined in terms of establishing the penalties. The study revealed that the Civil Code of Georgia determines the type of contractual penalty and allows its reduction. Based on this, a wrong conclusion has been made in science and practice about the existence of only one type of penalty in Georgian law. The circumstance that private law legislation does not consist solely of the Civil Code was not taken into account. The paper examines the applicable legislation of Georgia, which sometimes does not even use the term “penalty”, but actually provides for a legal penalty in various provisions. It is inevitably necessary to reflect the norms in detail in order to regulate the payment of legal penalties in the Civil Code of Georgia.

Published: September 2021

Synthetic analogues of indolicidin are considered as potential antibiotics, since they have a wide spectrum of antimicrobial activity. We used synthetic analogues of indolicidin No. 7 and 8, which were used to correct experimental periodontitis in Wistar rats. Peptides were injected intraperitoneally at a dose of 500 pg/kg for 7 days after periodontitis modeling. The anti-inflammatory effect of indolicidin analogues was assessed by changes in integral hematological indices. A statistically significant effect of the studied indolicidin analogues on the neutrophil-to-monocyte ratio and the leukocyte index was established, which indicates to the effect of peptides on the macrophage-monocytic cell pool, as well as the affector and effector mechanisms of the humoral immune response.

Published: September 2021

The purpose of the article is to continue the analysis of the dynamics of the life styles and wellbeing of Russian parents. The article presents foreign research directions of studying the influence of the ideology of intensive parenting on the well-being of parents, the lifestyle before the birth of the child/ children, the composition of children by gender, the external similarity of children and parents, the selfassessment of the fulfillment of their parental role, the marital/partner status of parents. It is shown that according to the data of ESS–2018 and RLMS HSE–2019, in the age group of 30–44 years, statistically not significantly more fathers are happy and satisfied with life than their peers who do not have children. No differences were found in these variables between mothers and their peers without children. To analyze the dynamics of parental well-being, sub-samples of parents were formed, regardless of their age and place of residence, according to the criterion of whether they have minor children, according to representative samples of the RLMS HSE. In 2004, this sub-sample was 2,270 parents, in 2008 – 2,220, and in 2019 – 2,645. Subsamples for these years are formed based on the ability to compare data on identical indicators. The analysis of the data shows that from 2004 to 2019, the share of fathers and mothers who are satisfied with their lives and assess their health as good, as well as satisfied with their work in general, their pay, and their professional growth opportunities, increased. For parents who drink alcohol, as well as those who are satisfied with their financial situation, there is almost no change, there are fewer smokers among fathers, but not mothers. According to the RLMS HSE–2019 data, there are more well-off people among married parents, less among never-married mothers and widows, as well as among divorced fathers and mothers. More fathers and mothers with special education are satisfied with life and work, much less of them smoke incomparison with those with secondary education. It does not depend on the level of education of alcohol consumption by parents, satisfaction with the financial situation and the assessment of health. In conclusion, it is proposed to revise the concepts in official documents on family policy, in statistics and in the media in relation to parents and children in non-normative families. The author emphasizes the relevance of developing educational programs for various categories of parents and future parents, and improving their competence.
