Generational "Structural Flexibility" in the United Arab Emirati Family: Lewis Coser's Functions of Social Conflict Revisited
Authors: Al Hourani Mohammed Abdel Karim
Published: February 2019

This study examined, to what extent the structure of spousal relationship in United Arab Emirati' (UAE) family has been changed from rigidity to flexibility among a sample of 168 pairs of daughters and mothers (N=336). Three propositions were derived from Coser's theory "functions of social conflict" to measure the structural flexibility: releasing the antagonistic claims, interdependency and reproducing of consensual agreements. Findings revealed that daughters and mothers reported a low level of structural flexibility in terms of the three propositions, however, daughters reported more flexibility than their mothers. This result indicates that the rapid and comprehensive change of the infrastructures didn’t lead to a parallel change in the nontangible elements of UAE culture which are highly rooted in a composition of social traditions and Islamic values.
Autism Spectrum Disorder and Maternal Employment Barriers: A Comprehensive Gender-Based Inquiry
Authors: Maich Kimberly , Davies Adam W.J. , Sohrabi Tayebeh
Published: February 2019

This paper presents a systematic literature review of the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and maternal employment disruption in order to explore what mothers of these children do using a critical lens. Although a broad range of peer-reviewed scholarly publications exist on many topics related to ASD, specific family issues such as the potential employment challenges of the maternal employment of children with ASD, have been explored in less detail until recently. ASD has generated much discussion and research. We report the most recent data over the last decade.Through a comprehensive literature review, we identify a range of papers on the topic of ASD and parental employment disruption. This project, then, highlights relevant international Canadian and internationals research findings, including the United States, China, the United Kingdom (UK) and Sweden. The review and its critical commentary show how structures which act to exclude children with ASD cause parents to seek employment adjustments in order to manage their complex situations. Parents, especially mothers of children with ASD, have fewer employment opportunities. This situation has substantial economic impact on families. This trend extends beyond preschool child care as obtaining capable and reliable child care support is an ongoing issue that exists well into the school years—and beyond. Supportive, accommodating, and especially flexible employment situations make employment possible, at times, for mothers of children with ASD.
Strategies of Islamic Education Teachers to Increase Students’ Interest In Learning and Practicing in State Junior High School Lanrisang (SMPN) 1 Lanrisang, Pinrang
Authors: Das St.Wardah Hanafie , Halik Abdul , Zulfianah Zulfianah , Naim Muh
Published: February 2019

This study aims to examine strategies used by Islamic education teachers to increase learning interest and practice of Islamic education on students of SMPN 1 Lanrisang, Pinrang. Increasing interest to study and practice Islamic education course on public school’s students is important for academics and practitioners. Therefore, a proper design of learning strategies is needed to increase interest and practice of the course. This article employed a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach by looking at the phenomena in the field. The results of interview and data analysis show some factors causing students’ low interest in learning Islamic education, including students’ low awareness during the learning activity, memorization system and indoctrination, tight schedule, national exam, a monotone learning strategy, and lack of family support. In addition, students seldom perform worship of mahdhah, while they often perform mu’âmalah. To increase the learning interest, the teachers of SMPN 1 Lanrisang used specific learning strategies such as lecture, debate, role-play, simulation, demonstration, contextual-based, problem-based, habituation and togetherness.
Level of Pedagogical Competence of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Teachers in Palembang City
Authors: Zainuri Ahmad
Published: February 2019

The purpose of preliminary research is to describe the level of pedagogical competencies of State Islamic Elementary School (MIN) teachers in Palembang City. This type of research is quantitative research with an explorative approach and data analysis through descriptive statistics. Based on the results of the study with a sample of 85 teachers at the MIN City of Palembang, it is found that nine pedagogical dimensions are still in the sufficient category, where the mean score is 281.03. The only dimensions of pedagogic competence in a good category are utilizing information and communication technology for the benefit of learning. Based on these results, it is necessary to increase the dimensions of teacher pedagogical competencies to be better because teachers who have good pedagogical competence are one of the factors in motivating and influencing student learning outcomes. Through this research, it is expected that it can be used as a reference for interested parties and also for further researchers in improving teacher competencies, especially pedagogical competencies.
DANA TALANGAN UMRAH DALAM PERSPEKTIF HUKUM ISLAM
Authors: Ronan Romli
Published: February 2019

Umrah worship is a worship that has high urgency in the life of Muslim communities in Indonesia. In addition to having a high value of merit beside Allah SWT, umrah worship is also an opportunity for every Muslim to set foot for worship in two holy cities glorified by the Creator. The high number of devotees of worship is shown by the increasing number of umrah worshipers and umrah service bureaus from year to year. Along with this, more and more practice of bailouts in umrah worship, both through banking and non-banking bailouts. The phenomenon that is a problem is how the real concept of istitha'ah in umrah worship in Islamic teachings, and also how it reviews Islamic law on umrah worship by using bailouts. The researcher used three theories as scalpel to discuss the issue under study. The three theories in question include maslahah al-mursalah, qiyas, and fiqh rules (qawa'id al-fiqhiyyah). By using a conceptual approach and supported by secondary data, the results obtained that istitha'ah in umrah worship have similarities with istitha'ah in the pilgrimage, namely the ability of both physical and material to go to the holy land. The utilization of bailouts in umrah worship depends on the condition of the pilgrims who are reluctant, as well as the nature and form of bailouts provided. The five legal provisions apply by looking at the economic situation and the ability of someone who does an Umrah trip
Koch, Carpani, and Momigny
Authors: Klorman Edward
Published: February 2019

This study examines historical writings about the “Classical” string quartet, a genre often compared to artful conversation. The conversation metaphor implicitly suggests “multiple agency” (Klorman 2016), whereby the four parts (or players) are interpreted as representing independent characters or personas. This paradigm contrasts sharply with the more monological musical personifications advanced in many recent writings on musical agency, such as Cone’s influentialThe Composer’s Voice(1974), which posit a “central intelligence” representing the “mind” of the composition, its fictional protagonist, or its composer. Focusing principally on discussions of Haydn’s and Mozart’s quartets in H. C. Koch’sVersuch(1793), J. J. de Momigny’sCours complet(1806), and G. Carpani’sLe Haydine(1812), I examine whether instrumental personas postulated by each author constitute genuine agents, according to criteria developed in Monahan 2013. At issue is whether personas are described as possessing (1) such anthropomorphic qualities as sentience, volition, and emotion; and (2) a capacity for independent action or utterance.
Editorial Markings as Analysis in Bach’sPartita No. 1 for Solo Violin, “Corrente”

This paper highlights differences in motivic, harmonic, and voice-leading structures between editions and arrangements of J. S. Bach’sPartita No. 1 for Solo Violin(BWV 1002), “Corrente.”
Susanna’s “Deh vieni”
Authors: Sherrill Paul
Published: February 2019

This article offers an analysis of “Deh vieni non tardar,” Susanna’s last aria in Mozart’sLe nozze di Figaro. The aria stages a diegetic performance in which Susanna serenades an absent beloved while Figaro eavesdrops, but the aria is not simply a facsimile of Susanna’s performance. Instead, the music scripts a shift of the audience’s perspective, moving from a quasi-literal representation of the performance to a depiction of Susanna’s affective experience of performing. This shift in perspective realigns how different musical parameters collaborate to produce meaning.

Observations from disparate domains coalesce into an interpretation of the aria. The analysis engages with musical details by starting from hypotheses about what the piece is (serenade or psychologizing aria), what it does (deliver text or embody expressive action), and how its musical features afford those identities. The central analytical questions are what genre “Deh vieni” belongs to and how its features serve the functions of that genre.
La novela transnacional en el siglo XXI. Interrogando la teoría de la hibridez/hybridity
Authors: Castro-Klaren Sara
Published: February 2019

Este artículo examina novelas de Daniel Alarcón, Santiago Roncagliolo, Eduardo González Viaña y Carmen Aguirre a la luz de las teorías de “hybridity/hibridez” propuestas por Néstor García Canclini y Homi Bhabha. Se demuestra que la teoría celebratoria de García Canclini es incompatible con la de Homi Bhabha, quien sostiene que “hybridity” es siempre un rechazo, una negación y una resta. Debido a la fuerte tematización de la desterritorialización, estas novelas conjugan mejor su forma y sentido con la teoría de Bhabha en cuanto resta y rechazo que con la de García Canclini en cuanto arte combinatorio.
La transarealidad de las literaturas del mundo. Latinoamérica entre Europa, África, Asia y Oceanía
Authors: Ette Ottmar
Published: February 2019

En un ámbito de entrecruzamientos transculturales altamente vectorizado como América Latina, una filología de carácter transareal puede lograr resultados pioneros que contribuyan a que se analicen con ojos críticos los residuos, en parte racistas, de las filologías nacionalistas fundadas en el siglo XIX, para poder deshacerse de ellos. El saber almacenado en las literaturas del mundo puede fungir como correctivo para patrones de percepción limitados por las disciplinas y poner de relieve las interrogantes que se formularán desde el punto de vista transdisciplinar. Partiendo de ahí, el presente artículo aspira a analizar de qué forma se podría pensar Latinoamérica entre África, Europa, Asia y Oceanía, para que de ello resulte, en el sentido de una investigación fundamental, una nueva interpretación de las relaciones transareales.
Autoengaño e interacciones sociales
Authors: Patarroyo Carlos G. , Muñoz Serna Carlos Andrés
Published: February 2019

En este artículo presentamos el modelo tradicional (que llamaremos canónico) que se ha usado para explicar el autoengaño y algunos de los problemas que ha de enfrentar. Presentaremos luego el que ha sido conocido como el modelo deflacionista o no intencionalista y defenderemos que es una alternativa mejor para entender este fenómeno que el modelo canónico. Finalmente, presentaremos una limitación o problema que ha de enfrentar el modelo deflacionista y que, al ser tratada, obliga a hacer ciertas consideraciones y a mirarlo bajo una nueva luz que, lejos de ponerlo en duda o debilitarlo, termina por fortalecerlo. Esta limitación se basa en que el modelo ha sido pensado teniendo en mente sólo evidencia perceptual, pero no interacciones sociales. Defenderemos que al incluir las interacciones sociales se hace necesario modificar levemente el modelo para dar cuenta de ellas y del comportamiento que los agentes a quienes adscribimos autoengaño tienen en estas relaciones. En cada una de las secciones de este texto acudiremos a ejemplos de la literatura que sirven para presentar con claridad las características de cada caso.

The transfer of the company’s registered office
Authors: Prelič Saša , Prostor Jerneja
Published: February 2019

In the light of the relevant case law of The Court of Justice of the EU it is emphasized that the cross-border transfer of company’s registered office (and its real seat) must be permitted in accordance with the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU. Nevertheless, the Fourteenth Company law Directive should be adopted for the reasons of legal certainty and it should determine, whether the transfer of the registered office (without transfer of company’s real seat) to another Member State is admissible or not. Furthermore, the authors discuss the cross-border restructuring of the company, which in addition to relocation of the registered office also includes a change of its legal form. The Court of Justice of the EU has not yet decided on such cross-border restructuring, nevertheless it should be allowed based of the freedom of establishment (cross-border formal transformation).

Razmjena informacija u poreznim stvarima
Authors: Gadžo Stjepan , Meštrović Marko
Published: February 2019

Jedno od najaktualnijih pitanja u svijetu poreza 21. stoljeća
nastanak je i razvoj

novih modela međudržavne administrativne suradnje u poreznim stvarima.

Naime, paralelno s izbijanjem svjetske financijske krize 2008. godine države

počinju primjenjivati potpuno nove metode suradnje, primarno radi suzbijanja

onih oblika porezne evazije vezanih uz tzv. porezne oaze. U tom smislu
prekretnicu

predstavlja donošenje jednoga saveznog zakona u SAD-u 2010. godine (engl.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act; FATCA). Proteklo razdoblje obilježava

intenzivno sklapanje posebnih sporazuma između SAD-a i drugih svjetskih

država, usmjerenih implementaciji osnovnih instituta propisanih FATCAom.

Dodatno, FATCA je imala učinak katalizatora međunarodne suradnje u

području razmjene porezno relevantnih informacija, čiji je rezultat i stvaranje

tzv. globalnog standarda razmjene informacija pod okriljem OECD-a. Navedeni

aktualiteti neminovno utječu i na hrvatski porezno-pravni okvir. Cilj je ovoga

rada prikazati novi hrvatski normativni okvir razmjene informacija u poreznim

stvarima, zadanog prije svega globalnim kretanjima u tom području. Posebna

se pozornost posvećuje FATCA-i, s obzirom na to da su temeljni instituti ovog

propisa postali uzor za novi, multilateralni pristup tematiziranim problemima.

Published: February 2019

An account is given of the discovery of the early instar(s) larva of Teleiopsis diffinis (Haworth, 1828) found mining leaves of Rumex acetosa L. in Devon, England. Not only does this appear to be the first occasion when the larva has been observed to be a leaf-miner but
it also appears to be only the second time that Rumex acetosa has been recorded as a foodplant in Europe (the first was nearly 130 years ago and was unpublished). Leaf-mines on Rumex acetosa found in the same area made by the larva of a Mantura species of Coleoptera are
also considered. Various British and mainland European publications on the biology and larval description are reviewed.
Enhanced pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties of PZT with aligned porosity for energy harvesting applications
Authors: Bowen Chris
Published: February 2019

This paper demonstrates the significant benefits of exploiting highly aligned porosity in piezoelectric and pyroelectric materials for improved energy harvesting performance. Porous lead zirconate (PZT) ceramics with aligned pore channels and varying fractions of porosity were manufactured in a water-based suspension using freeze casting. The aligned porous PZT ceramics were characterized in detail for both piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties and their energy harvesting performance figures of merit were assessed parallel and perpendicular to the freezing direction. As a result of the introduction of porosity into the ceramic microstrucutre, high piezoelectric and pyroelectric harvesting figures of merits were achieved for porous freeze-cast PZT compared to dense PZT due to the reduced permittivity and volume specific heat capacity. Experimental results were compared to parallel and series analytical models with good agreement and the PZT with porosity aligned parallel to the freezing direction exhibited the highest piezoelectric and pyroelectric harvesting response; this was a result of the enhanced interconnectivity of the ferroelectric material along the poling direction and reduced fraction of unpoled material that leads to a higher polarization. A complete thermal energy harvesting system, composed of an parallel-aligned PZT harvester element and an AC/DC converter successfully demonstrated by charging a storage capacitor. The maximum energy density generated by the 60 vol.% porous parallel-connected PZT when subjected to thermal oscillations was 1653 μJ/cm3 respectively, which was 374% higher than that of the dense PZT with an energy density of 446 μJ/cm3. The results are of benefit for the design and manufacture of high performance porous pyroelectric and piezoelectric materials in devices for energy harvesting and sensor applications.
Understanding the effect of porosity on the polarisation-field response of ferroelectric materials
Authors: Bowen Chris
Published: February 2019

This paper combines experimental and modelling studies to provide a detailed examination of the influence of porosity volume fraction and morphology on the polarisation-electric field response of ferroelectric materials. The broadening of the electric field distribution and a decrease in the electric field experienced by the ferroelectric ceramic medium due to the presence of low-permittivity pores is examined and its implications on the shape of the hysteresis loop, remnant polarisation and coercive field is discussed. The variation of coercive field with porosity level is seen to be complex and is attributed to two competing mechanisms where at high porosity levels the influence of the broadening of the electric field distribution dominates, while at low porosity levels an increase in the compliance of the matrix is more important. This new approach to understanding these materials enables the seemingly conflicting observations in the existing literature to be clarified and provides an effective approach to interpret the influence of pore fraction and morphology on the polarisation behaviour of ferroelectrics. A new general rule to describe the relationship between the polarisation and porosity is also proposed. Such information provides new insights in the interpretation of the physical properties of porous ferroelectric materials to inform future effort in the design of ferroelectric materials for piezoelectric sensor, actuator, energy harvesting, and transducer applications.

Energy harvesting from coupled bending-twisting oscillations in carbon-fibre reinforced polymer laminates
Authors: Bowen Chris
Published: February 2019

The energy harvesting capability of resonant harvesting structures, such as piezoelectric cantilever beams, can be improved by utilizing coupled oscillations that generate favourable strain mode distributions. In this work, we present the first demonstration of the use of a laminated carbon fibre reinforced polymer to create cantilever beams that undergo coupled bending-twisting oscillations for energy harvesting applications. Piezoelectric layers that operate in bending and shear mode are attached to the bend-twist coupled beam surface at locations of maximum bending and torsional strains in the first mode of vibration to fully exploit the strain distribution along the beam. Modelling of this new bend-twist harvesting system is presented, which compares favourably with experimental results. It is demonstrated that the variety of bend and torsional modes of the harvesters can be utilized to create a harvester that operates over a wider range of frequencies and such multi-modal device architectures provides a unique approach to tune the frequency response of resonant harvesting systems.

Freeze cast porous barium titanate for enhanced piezoelectric energy harvesting
Authors: Bowen Chris
Published: February 2019

Energy harvesting is an important developing technology for a new generation of self-powered sensornetworks. This paper demonstrates the significant improvement in the piezoelectric energy harvestingperformance of barium titanate by forming highly aligned porosity using freeze casting. Firstly, a finiteelement model demonstrating the effect of pore morphology and angle with respect to poling fieldon the poling behaviour of porous ferroelectrics was developed. A second model was then developedto understand the influence of microstructure-property relationships on the poling behaviour of porous freeze cast ferroelectric materials and their resultant piezoelectric and energy harvestingproperties. To compare with model predictions, porous barium titanate was fabricated using freeze casting to form highly aligned microstructures with excellent longitudinal piezoelectric straincoefficients, d33. The freeze cast barium titanate with 45 vol.% porosity had a d33 = 134.5 pC/N, which compared favourably to d33= 144.5 pC/N for dense barium titanate. The d33 coefficients of the freezecast materials were also higher than materials with uniformly distributed spherical porosity due toimproved poling of the aligned microstructures, as predicted by the models. Both model andexperimental data indicated that introducing porosity provides a large reduction in the permittivity of barium titanate, which leads to a substantial increase in energy harvesting figure of merit, with a maximum of 3.79 pm2/N for barium titanate with 45 vol.% porosity, compared to only 1.40 pm2/N for dense barium titanate. Dense and porous barium titanate materials were then used to harvest energy from a mechanical excitation by rectification and storage of the piezoelectric charge on a capacitor. The porous barium titanate charged the capacitor to a voltage of 234 mV compared to 96 mV for the dense material, indicating a 2.4-fold increase that was similar to that predicted by the energy harvesting figures of merit.

Karena bahasa Arab adalah bahasa yang paling fasih, paling jelas, paling luas, dan paling banyak mengungkapkan makna yang dapat menenangkan jiwa. Oleh karena itu tidak perlu di ragukan lagi, memang sudah seharusnya bagi seorang muslim untuk mempelajari bahasa Arab dan mengamalkannya. Orang yang paham bahasa Arab akan mudah menggali ilmu dari ulama secara langsung atau membaca berbagai karya ulama yang sudah banyak tersebar hingga saat ini. Sedangkan yang tidak paham bahasa Arab hanya bisa mengandalkan kitab terjemahan dan itu sifatnya terbatas.
Revision of Undorosaurus, a mysterious Late Jurassic ichthyosaur of the Boreal Realm
Authors: Zverkov Nikolay
Published: February 2019

Recent study of ophthalmosaurid ichthyosaurs has brought us a number of new taxa, however, the validity of several ophthalmosaurid taxa from the Volgian (Tithonian) of European Russia still remains unclear, complicating the comparisons and in some cases affecting taxonomic decisions of new contributions. A revision of the type series of all three species of Undorosaurus, erected by Efimov in 1999, reveals the potential validity of two of them. This contradicts previous research, which concluded that only the type species, U. gorodischensis, is valid. Furthermore, examination of the holotype of Cryopterygius kristiansenae from the coeval strata of Svalbard show that it is synonymous with Undorosaurus gorodischensis sharing all diagnostic features of the species, especially those related to forelimb morphology: humerus with extensive anteroposteriorly elongate proximal end, poorly pronounced trochanter dorsalis and reduced deltopectoral crest; and ulna proximodistally elongate and not involved in perichondral ossification on its whole posterior edge. This supports the idea of intensive exchange of ichthyosaurs between the Middle Russian Sea and other Boreal seas in the Late Jurassic. In order to resolve the phylogenetic position of Undorosaurus within Ophthalmosauridae as well as relations of other ophthalmosaurids, a new dataset including 33 taxa and 106 characters, 23 of which are new, was compiled. The results of this analysis challenge all previous phylogenetic hypotheses for Ophthalmosauridae in a number of aspects including Undorosaurus spp. recovered deeply nested within Platypterygiinae as a sister group to derived platypterygiines.
Factors Contributing to Delay in Diagnosis and Start of Treatment of Leprosy: Analysis of Help-seeking Narratives from a Community Study in Dang District
Authors: Subedi Madhusudan , Engelbrektsson Ulla-Britt
Published: February 2019

Prolonged delays between first symptoms and diagnosis easily result in more impairment in newly detected leprosy patients, and aggregate negative consequences for individuals and their families. In cases of infectious leprosy, longer delays increase the risk for the spread of the disease. Limited studies have been carried out to explore the causes for delays in Nepal. This is a community level qualitative study conducted in Dang district. The information was obtained through in-depth interviews with 8 leprosy affected persons, 8 contacts, 8 community members and 5 service providers in Dang district. Skin patches were regarded as a simple skin disease, in particular of paucibacillary patients who had a limited number of skin lesions and no nerve damage. A local medical shop was the first choice for medicine to treat skin conditions. Delays in diagnosis of leprosy occurred at many stages from the development of the symptoms to consultation of health care services. The use of traditional medicine, a belief in self-cure and visit to traditional healers, and misdiagnosis (a disease other than leprosy by the health worker) and inadequate knowledge about the disease and its early symptoms were the main factors that influenced the delayed diagnosis. Delays accumulated as the result of series of help-seeking actions that reflected local socio-cultural beliefs and practices. Misdiagnoses could be reduced if adequate information on leprosy is given to community people and health service providers. Specific interventions are needed to promote knowledge and a good attitude among contacts and community members. To reduce patient delay, public health promotion is needed to increase the awareness of leprosy, and the health service delay should be reduced by improving diagnostic skills in public and private sectors. Addressing both components of delays will decrease the time to diagnosis and ultimately the extent of transmission of the disease and reduce the risk of nerve function impairments.
Teacher: An Important but Less Recognized Actor of School Curriculum Development in Nepal
Authors: Rimal Kalpana
Published: February 2019

Curriculum development is considered as a key factor in the process of educational transformation. In this process, teachers can play multiple roles such as translator of learning objectives into outcome, mediator between curriculum and students and so on. On the other hand, curriculum experts contribute to making a need assessment and contents development on the basis of educational theories and principles. But, contemporary literatures point gaps in exchange of knowledge and expertise between these two important actors of school curriculum development. On this backdrop, this study aims to explore what rolesteachers can perform and how their rolesare acknowledged in the curriculum development. Following social constructivist worldview, this study adopted qualitative approach with the scientific tool of in-depth interviewsand purposive sampling design. This study reveals teacher’s contribution inidentification of practical educational needsin the context of changing overall societal needs.Moreover, the teacherscan bridge existing gaps between national educational goals, social needs and the interest of people. But the current school curriculum development process takes place at the top where curriculum experts play decisive role. These experts seek school teacher’s contribution only at the review phase of curriculum development process which is not enough to incorporate teacher’s expertise. In this respect, teachers will be able to view curriculum not in terms of content to be covered, but as a transformative process. Rather, this looks like just maintaining a formality. The attitudinal and procedural process constrain in recognition and involvement of teacher in curriculum development process. Thus, school curriculum has missed opportunity to reflect local need and increase ownership of the teachers. This paper argues for the recognition of teacher’s role as a critical practitioner and change agent, and urges to provide sufficient space to incorporate their real-life experiences in school curriculum.

A Comparison of Divorce Risk Models in China and the United States
Authors: Xu Anqi , Zhang Yuanting , Amato Paul R
Published: February 2019

Divorce has become more common in China. However, studies of Chinese marriage and family life have lagged because relevant data are sparse. Using a divorce risk model, this study compares China and the United States. Chinese data came from a 2007-2008 Shanghai study containing 1,070 married or cohabiting respondents. The U.S. data came from the 2000 Survey of Marriage and Family Life containing 2,100 married individuals. In both countries, marital quality (happiness) was higher when couples frequently shared activities, reported few arguments, had not experienced marital violence, thought it would be difficult to replace their current spouses, and grew up with happily married parents. Moreover, in both countries, divorce risk (thinking about divorce) was negatively associated with marital quality, marital duration, believing that marriage is for life, reporting few quarrels, and the absence of marital violence. Differences between samples also emerged, which may reflect unique cultural aspects of Chinese and American society.
Love and Life in Southwestern Japan: The Story of a One-hundred-Year-old Lady
Authors: Ochiai Emiko
Published: February 2019

The coastal villages in southwestern Japan are known for its peculiar historical demographic features involving frequent pre-marital births and births without parents being married and frequent movement of children between households. This article explores habits regarding sex, marriage, and births behind these demographic features. It draws on an interview with an elderly woman who tells her own experiences and what she observed during most of her life time. The focus is on the woman’s subjectivity and how she interprets the relative sexual freedom that women in this area seem to have been granted. Her testimony often differs from interpretations offered in ethnographic research. Both the optimistic view praising sexual freedom as well as the contrasting view that deplores women’s victimization seem inadequate to grasp the woman’s testimony. According to her recollections intrusion into a married relationship often occurred, the father of children of pre-marital births was not necessarily the man who later became the husband of the mother, and child abuse by the mother’s new husband sometimes occurred. It also occurred that a woman abandoned her previous man to go with a new man. Love seems to have been a matter of great concern to both men and women in this region. The cost of sexual behaviours existed but it was not very high, partially because of economic independence of women, partially because of social support networks for taking care of the children born.
The Sense of Collectivism and Individualism among Husbands and Wives in Traditional and Bi-cultural Navajo Families on the Navajo Reservation
Authors: Hossain Ziarat , Skurky Thomas , Joe Jamie , Hunt Troy
Published: February 2019

We examined the extent to which husbands and wives reported a sense of collectivism and individualism in traditional and bi-cultural Navajo families on the Navajo Reservation. Husbands and wives from thirty-five traditional and thirtyfive bi-cultural intact families participated in the study. Participants were interviewed to collect data. MANOVA analyses reveal that whereas husbands and wives from traditional families showed higher levels of collectivism than the husbands and wives in bi-cultural families, husbands and wives in both traditional and bicultural families showed a similar level of individualism. Qualitative accounts further suggest that although these Navajos largely adhere to their traditional collectivist world view, many of them are in transition to adapt to an individualistic self-other perspective. Results are discussed in terms of the nature of contemporary Navajo collectivism as a function of American mainstream values.
Arranged Marriages in Western Europe: Media Representations and Social Reality
Authors: Penn Roger
Published: February 2019

The paper examines arranged marriages in contemporary W estern Europe, specifically within Britain, France and Germany. The paper reveals that two different types of marriage systems currently co-exist globally. These are “love” marriages in the west and “arranged” marriages in many parts of Asia and Africa. Both are associated with value systems that derogate the “Other” and regard themselves as “superior” and “normal.” The paper explores how arranged marriages are currently demonised within the dominant western mass media. The paper also examines data collected from young adults in Britain, France and Germany from various ethnic/nationality backgrounds with a view to assessing the continuing practice of arranged marriages amongst children of international migrants. The paper shows that the media reflect the persistence of arranged marriages but simultaneously distort its significance.
