Accelerating Health Data Sharing: A Solution Based on the Internet of Things and Distributed Ledger Technologies (Preprint)
Authors: Zheng Xiaochen , Sun Shengjing , Mukkamala Raghava Rao , Vatrapu Ravi , Ordieres-Meré Joaquín
Published: February 2019

BACKGROUND

Huge amounts of health-related data are generated every moment with the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable technologies. These big health data contain great value and can bring benefit to all stakeholders in the health care ecosystem. Currently, most of these data are siloed and fragmented in different health care systems or public and private databases. It prevents the fulfillment of intelligent health care inspired by these big data. Security and privacy concerns and the lack of ensured authenticity trails of data bring even more obstacles to health data sharing. With a decentralized and consensus-driven nature, distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) provide reliable solutions such as blockchain, Ethereum, and IOTA Tangle to facilitate the health care data sharing.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to develop a health-related data sharing system by integrating IoT and DLT to enable secure, fee-less, tamper-resistant, highly-scalable, and granularly-controllable health data exchange, as well as build a prototype and conduct experiments to verify the feasibility of the proposed solution.

METHODS

The health-related data are generated by 2 types of IoT devices: wearable devices and stationary air quality sensors. The data sharing mechanism is enabled by IOTA’s distributed ledger, the Tangle, which is a directed acyclic graph. Masked Authenticated Messaging (MAM) is adopted to facilitate data communications among different parties. Merkle Hash Tree is used for data encryption and verification.

RESULTS

A prototype system was built according to the proposed solution. It uses a smartwatch and multiple air sensors as the sensing layer; a smartphone and a single-board computer (Raspberry Pi) as the gateway; and a local server for data publishing. The prototype was applied to the remote diagnosis of tremor disease. The results proved that the solution could enable costless data integrity and flexible access management during data sharing.

CONCLUSIONS

DLT integrated with IoT technologies could greatly improve the health-related data sharing. The proposed solution based on IOTA Tangle and MAM could overcome many challenges faced by other traditional blockchain-based solutions in terms of cost, efficiency, scalability, and flexibility in data access management. This study also showed the possibility of fully decentralized health data sharing by replacing the local server with edge computing devices.

Published: February 2019

Springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis), a popular South African game species, has significant potential in meat production. Considering the importance of fresh meat color on consumers’ purchasing intent, the objective of this study was to evaluate the color stability of 3 economically important springbok muscles, infraspinatus (IS), longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL), and biceps femoris (BF). The IS, LTL, and BF muscles from both sides of 12 (6 male and 6 female) springbok carcasses were utilized. The muscles were fabricated (72 h postmortem) into 2.5-cm thick steaks, which were aerobically over-wrapped and stored for 8 d at 2°C. Surface color, myoglobin redox forms, pH, metmyoglobin reducing activity, total iron content, and myoglobin concentration were evaluated. Data were analyzed using mixed model repeated measures ANOVA. The IS exhibited greater (P < 0.05) redness, chroma, color stability, pH, oxymyoglobin content, and metmyoglobin reducing activity than its LTL and BF counterparts. Moreover, metmyoglobin formation and total iron content were lower in IS than in LTL and BF. The IS demonstrated stable redness and chroma throughout the storage, whereas the LTL and BF exhibited a steady decline. The results indicated that springbok IS muscle was the most color stable, while the LTL and BF did not differ in color stability from each other. These findings also suggested that muscle-specific processing methods could be utilized to improve retail color stability for fresh meat from springbok.

ANALISIS ANTROPOLOGI-STRUKTURAL KISAH MUSA DAN KHIDZIR DALAM ALQUR’AN
Authors: Arafat M. Yaser
Published: February 2019

This study aims to examine the story of Moses and Khidzir as one of the Islamic narrative treasures in the Qur’an. Through Claude Lévi-Strauss’s structural-anthropology approach, to see the structure of mind that works in the story, the results showed that the story of Moses and Khidzir has a certain structure, which is appeared in the structure of non-ladunni and ladunni knowledge. The structure of knowledge can be seen from the existence of binary-opposition relation between Musa and Khidzir and the relation transformation in each episode of the story. Considering the structural-anthropology, the structure of the story must be identified in the human culture. Hereby, the ethnographic methods required to be used, in which the result revealed that the story of Moses and Khidzir believed as a code used by God to convey the general law of knowledge. The contribution of this study in the Qur’anic and socio-cultural studies is on the use of structural-anthropology approach, not only to analyze ‘parole’ and ‘langue’ of Qur’anic language but also to uncover the Qur’anic mind and identifying its existence in the human culture.

Authors: Ferrão Ana Cristina , Correia Paula , Ferreira Manuela , Guiné Raquel P. F.
Published: February 2019

Introduction

A healthy diet is crucial for the maintenance of health. Therefore, the aim of this work is to evaluate the perceptions towards a healthy diet among the participants with work or studies in areas related to diet and nutrition and those who did not.

Methods

Anonymous questionnaire data was collected in a cross-sectional study on a non-probabilistic sample of 902 participants living in Portugal.

Results

The results showed that the participants’ perceptions were, in general, compliant with a healthy diet. However, significant differences were found between gender (p=0.004), between the different civil state groups (p=0.016), between the participants who were responsible for buying their own food and those who were not and also regarding the living environment. The variable area of work or studies also showed significant differences (p=0.001), so that people who had work or studies related to agriculture obtained a higher score. Regarding this variable, the mean values of nutrition and agriculture areas were not statistically different between them, but were statistically different from the mean values of psychology and health areas. The participants who had work or studies in areas showing diet and nutrition-related issues achieved a higher mean score (0.72±0.35) when compared to the participants who did not (0.58±0.30).

Conclusion

However, despite the results, it is important to continue developing campaigns that better communicate nutritional aspects, so that people can increase their knowledge on this subject.
Spinal epidural lipomatosis due to adrenal cortisol secreting adenoma in a 14-year-old girl. A case report
Authors: Bajracharya Luna , Berend Kenrick
Published: February 2019

Background:

Spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL) is an excessive fat deposition within the epidural space of spinal canal leading to compression of nervous structures and neurological manifestations. Exogenous glucocorticoid administration is the major cause of symptomatic SEL. The reported patient had SEL related to endogenous Cushing syndrome, which is among a few reported cases in the literature.

Case Presentation:

A 14-year-old girl with features of Cushing syndrome had severe back pain and the magnetic resonance imaging of the spine showed SEL. Subsequently, computed tomography of the abdomen showed right adrenal adenoma. The patient underwent adrenalectomy which improved her signs of hypercortisolism and SEL.

Conclusion:

In view of severe neurological deficits and therapeutic consequences, SEL should be considered in all patients with Cushing syndrome who present with symptoms of spinal cord compression. Correction of underlying endocrinopathy is imperative in the management of SEL.
Severe hyponatremia as a presenting sign of panhypopituitarism due to non-functioning pituitary adenoma: a case report
Authors: Mehmood Faryal , Ashfaq Anum , Beg Muhammad Atif
Published: February 2019

Background:

Hyponatremia is the commonest electrolyte imbalance, which is seen especially in elderly patients presenting in the emergency department of hospitals. There is a wide range of differentials in hyponatremic patients but it can be the initial sign of pituitary disease, specifically in the old age population. Diagnosis can often be challenging because symptoms can be attributed to the normal aging process and a high index of clinical suspicion is necessary.

Case Presentation:

Here, we present the case of a 61-year-old female presented in our facility with a history of vomiting, drowsiness, and fatigue for 2 days before admission. On investigating, serum electrolytes showed hyponatremia. CXR was also normal. As the patient was not in fluid overload, so our differentials based on euvolemic hyponatremia included syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone secretion (SIADH), severe hypothyroidism, or glucocorticoid insufficiency. Urine osmolarity was not in range of SIADH. Serum cortisol was normal. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), Leutinizing hormone (LH), estrogen, and progesterone were low although these should be high as the patient was post-menopausal. Prolactin was normal. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain with contrast showed supra and intrasellar mass consistent with a pituitary macroadenoma.

Conclusion:

Depending on presentation and investigations, non-functioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA) presenting with panhypopituitarism complicated by hyponatremia was the final diagnosis. Our case highlights the importance of diagnosing NFPA in elderly patients who present with hyponatremia, which can often be challenging and should not be delayed as this is life-saving; hence, targeted treatment should be started as soon as possible.
Synchronous genital and facial hematohidrosis in adult female: first case report from Egypt
Authors: Soliman Mosaad , Mowafy Khaled , Soliman Rana , Soliman Reem
Published: February 2019

Background:

Hematohidrosis, also known as hematidrosis or bloody sweat, is a rare condition manifested by sweaty spotty bleeding out of the skin and mucous membranes. Apart from sporadic case reports from around the world, there is a lack of formal study that describes the exact incidence. There is uncertainty of the etiopathogenesis. However, rupture of the capillary ramification around the sweat glands due to severe physical or mental stress has been proposed as an explanation, in addition to some other disorders as a systemic disease and vicarious menstruation. Diagnosis is being confirmed by testing the secretions for blood components.

Case Presentation:

Herein, we report a case of hematohidrosis in a 28-year-old female with repeated episodes of bloody sweating from all over the face, the genitalia, and the fingertips that have been responding to propranolol and topical timolol.

Conclusion:

Being a rare disorder, the diagnosis is substantially dependent on high clinical suspicion and physician awareness, which is of paramount importance in patient’s assurance that helps in the alleviation of psychological stress. We assume that the sympathetic overactivity is pivotal in provoking these events and that beta blockers might be an effective treatment.

Authors: Bajracharya Shweta , Chauhan Shantnu Singh , Aziz Mir Rizwan , Chugh Nalin , Sharma Bharat Bhushan , Virmani Nitish
Published: February 2019

Background:

Ewing’s family tumors are malignant and occur in children and young adults. Sinonasal region is slightly rare in occurrence and can present in various types of symptomatology. Ewing sarcoma and primitive neuroectodermal tumor are the most common entities in this family. The preliminary diagnosis is almost always confused because of delayed symptoms and improper histopathological and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Most of the complaints are because of tumor mass pressing and displacing the neighboring structures.

Case Presentation:

A 36-years-old male adult reported with progressively increasing facial swelling on the bridge of the nose and forehead, predominantly on the left side of 3 years duration. There was pain and blockage of left side nose first followed by the other side. There were also off and on episodes of epistaxis. Ultrasonography and color flow imaging confirmed the swelling of solid consistency with hypervascularity. The patient underwent contrast-enhanced computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging studies which delineated the entity which was confirmed by histopathology.

Conclusion:

Sinonasal masses require detailed cross-sectional imaging studies, histopathological and IHC confirmation for proper and in time management strategies.
Soberanía estallada: Memorias de Malvinas en Campo minado de Lola Arias
Authors: Perera Verónica
Published: February 2019

El trigésimo aniversario de la guerra de Malvinas en el 2012 apareció como huella del pasado y fue recuperado en Argentina por la imaginación de una generación joven de dramaturgos y dramaturgas. Según Rosana Guber, este conflicto bélico operó históricamente como metáfora de la nación; sin embargo, el presente artículo argumenta que la obra Campo minado de Lola Arias subvierte esa metáfora. Asimismo, propone que esta obra estrenada en Brighton, Inglaterra, en mayo del 2016 y seis meses más tarde en Buenos Aires, descentra la noción de comunidad nacional, pues, mediante la actuación de seis excombatientes (tres argentinos, dos ingleses y un gurkha) y una historia basada en sus testimonios, narra el conflicto bélico sin tonos épicos y explora la cuestión de la soberanía nacional, aunque sin silenciar sus efectos sobre los cuerpos en la guerra. Finalmente, sugiere que la obra de Arias crea un espacio plurinacional y multilingüe, donde surgen nuevas imágenes y memorias sobre la guerra de Malvinas, atravesadas hoy por la experiencia común, pero también por el disenso y el conflicto entre los enemigos de entonces.Bursted Sovereignty: Falklands Memories in Campo minado (Minefield) by Lola AriasAbstractThe thirtieth anniversary of Malvinas (Falklands) War in 2012 became a trace of the past, recovered by a young generation of playwrights. According to Rosana Guber, that war has worked as a metaphor of the nation, but this paper argues that Campo minado (Minefield) by Lola Arias subverts that metaphor. The play was premiered in Brighton, England, on May 2016 and six months later in Buenos Aires. It is based on veterans’ testimonies who actually take part in the show (three Argentineans, two English, one Gurkha) and by these means the play achieves to decenter the notion of national community. The article discusses how Minefield narrates the war without epic tones and explores the question of national sovereignty, but without silencing its effects on the bodies at war. Finally, the paper suggests that Arias’ play creates a plurinational and multilingual space from where new images and new memories of Malvinas emerge. These images and memories are permeated with the common experience of the enemies at that time, but also with the conflict and dissent between them.Recibido: 01 de junio de 2017Aceptado: 28 de noviembre de 2017

This research aims to determine the effect of educational level and understanding accounting standards of non profit financial entity on the preparation and presentation financial statements. The population in this research is all mosques that hold financial records of Bandung Regency or Bandung City. The sample of research was taken incidentally with the respondent of finance department or doing the recording of finance in mosque as much as 30 mosque. The data collected is primary data through the spread of questionnaires both online and manual. Data processing technique is done through validity test, reliability, data conversion through Succesive Interval Method and hypothesis test through multiple regression analysis either partially or simultaneously. The result of this research shows that in general the compiler and reporter of the mosque's financial statements have not understood and know the term of PSAK. The preparation and presentation of financial statements in mosque entities still use single entry system. This system only records receipts and expenses. Meanwhile, the level of education and level of understanding of PSAK significantly influences the preparation and presentation of non-profit entity financial statements. This influence can be proved by the significance value of both variables that is 0.003 and 0.011.�Keyword : Financial statements of nonprofit entities, PSAK.
Música e experiência estética em Nietzsche
Authors: Cavalcanti Anna Hartmann
Published: February 2019

Em 1869, ano de início de sua atividade como professor na Universidade da Basiléia, Nietzsche desenvolve em inúmeros cursos e conferências uma reflexão sobre a experiência musical e poética, na qual enfatiza a união da palavra e da música na sensibilidade grega e sua separação na sensibilidade moderna. Esse tema será retomado nos anos seguintes, durante a redação de O nascimento da tragédia, seja na reflexão sobre a arte grega, seja na crítica à ópera moderna, dando lugar a uma investigação sobre a diferença de natureza entre os domínios sonoro e linguístico, aos quais correspondem formas distintas de experimentar a arte. Pretendo, neste trabalho, mostrar como a rede de relações tecida por Nietzsche entre música e palavra permite elucidar não apenas a especificidade da música como arte, mas também a singularidade da experiência estética que ela torna possível.

Influence of Social Media on Sexual Behaviour of Youth in Kwara State, Nigeria: Implications for Counselling Practice
Authors: Adegboyega Lateef Omotosho
Published: February 2019

This study investigated the influence of social media on the sexual behaviour of youth in Kwara State. Descriptive research design was adopted for the study. A total of 395 youth participated in the study. One research question was raised while three null hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The instrument used for data collection for this study was a researcher-designed questionnaire entitled “Influence of Social Media Questionnaire” (ISMQ). The findings revealed that social media has considerable influence on the sexual behaviour of youth in Kwara State. Social media leads students to the act of sending erotic messages, watching pornographic films and movies, and also increases risky sexual behaviour such as masturbation. There were no significant differences in the influence of social media on sexual behaviour of youth in Kwara State based on gender, age and university attended. It was therefore recommended that counsellors should expose students to the danger inherent in negative uses of social media and analyze the possible result of proper usage of social media. Counsellors should also provide information specifically on the safe and respectful use of technology, as well as consequences of the negative use of social media to students of different genders, ages and universities attended.
In Praise of Empathy: The Glue that holds Caring Communities Together in a Fractured World
Authors: Wilkinson Irene G.
Published: February 2019

In a tumultuous world where populism is on the rise as the result of an enraged, disenchanted, misguided and susceptible populace, empathy, one of the most vital of our moral virtues, is in serious jeopardy.  Fear, prejudice and the rise of the extreme right has provoked a number of nay-sayers to draw our attention to what they believe to be the darker side of empathy, its biases and its vulnerability to subversion.  This paper examines empathy, what it is, how it feels, the neural and environmental basis for its development, our moral obligation to nurture it in our children and how it may be induced in the case of empathy deficiencies.  It considers the influences of gender and hormones on the expression of empathy and its relationship with sympathy and compassion.  Also discussed are the properties of empathy as a motivational, socioemotional mechanism, that evokes kindness, caring, compassion and understanding in each of us, and its potential to neutralize the negativism, cruelty, violence and aggression, so prevalent in the world today.
S NUTRIENTS RTENTION OF SEVERAL BIOCHARS AND THEIR EFFECT ON N,P, K UPTAKE OF UPLAND-RICE .
Authors: Sukartono Sukartono
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT

Application of biochar to agriculture soils has been considered as means to improve soil quality and carbon sequiestration. Therefore, the understanding of chemical and physical properties of biochars is important to identify suitable use of biochar for improving soil fertility and carbon sequestration.  Biochars were produced from phyrolizing five different feedstock from crops residues (rice straw- BPJ,  rice husk- BPS, maize cobs- BJT,  peanuts shell- BKC and soybean residues-BKE). Using muffle furnace heating  under 400oC. The potential  nutrients retention of those biochars in particular for NH4+, K+. Ca++, dan Mg++. was tested. througha leaching experiment established in Soil Physic laboratory at Faculty of Agriculure, University of Mataram . The physicochemical properties of biochars were likely varied among fives feedstocks.  The biochars derived from soybean residues (BKE),  peanut biomass (BKC) and maize cobs (BJT) contained higher mutrients (i.e. C, N, K, Ca and Mg) compared to biochars produced  from rice straw (BJP) and rice husks (BPS). Total-C of  BKE, BKC dan BJT were  51,73; 57,36 dan 53,53 % respecively.  The variation of phyisicochemical properties from different biomass strongly related to different nutrient retention whenever the biochars are applied in soils.  Biochars produced from legume crops biomass such as soybean and dan peanuts  werethe highest nutrients retention, followed by maize cobsand rice straw biochars.   Unde glass house test, the tree biochars namely BPS, BJT and BKE have similar effect on  N,P, K uptake as well as to dry weight biomass.
Animated Performance

Published: February 2019

A study was carried out to determine the effect of the amplitude of performer movement on judgments of performance quality. The movements of eight live solo performances were captured (two each for flute, clarinet, violin, and cello). For each original recording, three stick figure animations were created: one with augmented performance motion, one with the original motion, and one with diminished motion. The three animations were combined into single dynamic videos that allowed participants to continuously adjust the range of motion in the animation via a slider—from diminished through original to augmented motion. Participants were instructed to adjust the overall amount of performance motion to create the best musical performance. Consistent with the hypothesis, participants elected to significantly augment the motions of the performers.

Authors: Broncano Fernando
Published: February 2019

Resumen Los espacios afectivos están definidos no solo por relaciones emocionales sino también epistémicas. La dama de las camelias de Alexandre Dumas, y su versión operística de Giuseppe Verdi, La traviata, muestran como el juego de conocimiento e ignorancia respecto al otro, en particular respecto al personaje femenino, es central en la formación del sujeto. El caso específico de este relato, a pesar de la distancia cultural, caracteriza bien el modo en que las identidades se construyen sobre ignorancias sistémicas.
O nedopuštenim dokazima u parničnom postupku
Authors: Dika Mihajlo
Published: February 2019

Istražuju se dokazne zabrane koje se tiču pojedinih dokaznih sredstava kao instrumenata za utvrđivanje određenih predmeta dokazivanja te načina izvo- đenja dokazivanja u hrvatskom parničnom procesnom pravu. Uvodno se postavljaju osnove za klasifikaciju i kvalifikaciju pojedinih takvih zabrana (opće, posebne; apsolutne, relativne; otklonjive, neotklonjive; izravne, posred- ne). Nastavno se posebno razmatraju tzv. apsolutne i relativne zabrane, a u okviru izravnih relativnih zabrana one koje se odnose na korištenje određenih dokaznih sredstava radi utvrđivanja
izvjesnih činjenica, one koje se izvode iz pravila po kojima se stanovite
činjenice mogu dokazivati samo nekim dokaznim sredstvima i tzv. dokazne
uskrate, dok se kao posredne relativne zabrane izlažu one koje se izvode iz
zabrana koje se tiču predmeta dokazivanja. Osobita pažnja poklanja se
dokazima pribavljenim na nedopušteni način, pri čemu se najprije nastoje
odrediti ustavne, zakonske, judikaturne i doktrinarne premise za određenje toga
pojma, da bi se nakon toga obradila problematika dokaza pribavljenih povredom

slobode i tajnosti dopisivanja i svih drugih oblika općenja te dokaza
pribavljenih povredom prava na sigurnost i tajnost osobnih podataka. Navedena
pitanja upotpunjuju se analizom instituta dokaznih prekluzija i tzv.
informativnih dokaza. Zaključno se konstatira da u hrvatskom parničnom
postupovnom pravu institut nedopuštenih dokaza nije na odgovarajući način
uređen, zbog čega se naglašava potreba da se de lege ferenda utvrde zakonske

damage to many fruit crops, particularly mango, guava, peach, apricot and citrus. In 2008, the larval-pupal koinobiont endoparasitoid, Aganaspis daci (Weld, 1951) (Hymenoptera: Figitidae, Eucoilinae) was introduced to Egypt via Hawaii for evaluation. The parasitoid is a dominant natural
enemy of several Bactrocera species from Southeast Asia, the native region of B. zonata. To evaluate the potential of A. daci for biocontrol of B. zonata, this study investigated distinguishing features of A. daci in different stages, developmental periods,
reproductive output, and optimal rearing protocols under laboratory conditions of 25 ± 1°C, 54 – 65% RH, and 14L:10D photoperiod, using B. zonata as hosts. The parasitoid Aganaspis daci went through four instars and developed into the ectoparasitic phase late
in the third instar, as the larva developed one pair of functional thoracic spiracles. Total developmental period averaged 23.3 days, and males eclosed two days earlier than females. Realized fecundity of mated females averaged 39.6 offspring per female (range 32 – 55) and progeny sex
ratio was 1:1. Longevity of honey fed females and males averaged 18.8 and 17.3 days, respectively. A. daci showed relative potential as a biological control agent against B. zonata in Egypt and was propagated for several generations before it was approved for release in 2009.
Field recovery was reported one month following its liberation in guava orchard at Al-Arish district, North Sinai Province, with 1.6 – 8% initial rate of parasitism. Further studies, on its adaptation to the new Egyptian environment and efficacy against B. zonata under field
conditions are in progress. This study provides important baseline information on the morphological and biological attributes of A. daci and the rearing method provides a basis for the development of a mass rearing protocol for augmentative parasitoid releases.
Antecedent access mechanisms in pronoun processing: evidence from the N400

Previous cross-modal priming studies showed that lexical decisions to words after a pronoun were facilitated when these words were semantically related to the pronoun's antecedent. These studies suggested that semantic priming effectively measured antecedent retrieval during coreference. We examined whether these effects extended to implicit reading comprehension using the N400 response. The results of three experiments did not yield strong evidence of semantic facilitation due to coreference. Further, the comparison with two additional experiments showed that N400 facilitation effects were reduced in sentences (vs. word pair paradigms) and were modulated by the case morphology of the prime word. We propose that priming effects in cross-modal experiments may have resulted from task-related strategies. More generally, the impact of sentence context and morphological information on semantic facilitation effects suggests that they may depend on the extent to which the upcoming input is predicted, rather than automatic spreading activation between semantically related words.

Case Study Research, Philosophical Position and Theory Building: A Methodological Discussion
Authors: Bhatta Thakur Prasad
Published: February 2019

Case study research though increasingly popular in social sciences for positivist and intrepretivist research, a kind of confusion is prevalent when it is used ignoring its philosophical position. Arguably, the case study research is considered more appropriate for qualitative research because of its foremost strength ˗ the in-depth study of complex issues. This paper, drawing from the literature, discusses the philosophical position of case study research and argues that qualitative case study research is appropriate for theory building. For theory building, this paper follows the inductive approach guided by qualitative research paradigm and argues that it is not appropriate to assess theory building from the perspective of quantitative research. Very similar to other research methods, it is natural that the case study research has certain challenges; however, most of the challenges and misunderstandings overlap causing difficulty to understand the role of case study research. Hence, this paper aims to contribute to the understandings of the challenges and misunderstandings associated with the theory building from case study research. This paper argues that most of the challenges associated with theory building from case study can be addressed employing appropriate research strategies particularly clear understanding of philosophical stance and selection of appropriate case. The misunderstandings, on the other hand, are arisen due to the differences in the researcher’s perspectives particularly positivistic thinking of them rather than the shortcomings inherent in the qualitative case study research design.
Decisions of First Time Expectant Mothers in Central Texas Compared to Women in Great Britain and Spain: Testing Hakim’s Preference Theory
Authors: Stanley-Stevens Leslie , Kaiser Karen Claiborne
Published: February 2019

Past research suggests that external constraints such as the need for income, husbands’ desires, and socialization are what most influence whether mothers work for pay while, more recently, Hakim (2003a; 2003b; 2003c) argued that women’s personal preferences guide this important decision. Rather than husbands’ desires dictating whether wives work for pay or not, results from this study indicate that women in central Texas chose husbands according to how supportive they were of their wives’ wishes. Their decisions to work for pay or not were influenced by their perceived need for more income, whether their own mothers worked, and their socialization. Components of socialization found related to work decisions included “gender strategies” (Hochschild & Machung, 1989), which are peoples’ childhood conceptualizations about gender combined with their teenage experiences and finally rectified with current feelings about societal norms and how one’s own attitudes and behaviors compare to those norms. Another component of socialization related to women’s work and family decisions is the “motherhood mandate,” a perspective that teaches women to believe that their greatest fulfillment stems directly from being a mother (Russo, 1979). Despite employment, women tended to carry the lion’s share of domestic duties. The findings suggest that both external constraints and personal preference guide women’s work decisions.
Child-Bearing Attitudes in Croatia: A Country Passing through the Modernization Process
Authors: Obradoviæ Josip , Èudina Mira
Published: February 2019

For the last several decades, the number of newborn children has been steadily decreasing in many societies, but the drop has been especially pronounced in Central and Eastern European countries. The phenomenon had created a lot of concern among social policy makers but has not stimulated much scientific study. Most of the theories and research on population change are coming from W estern Europe and the United States of American (USA) and the question is how adequately do they explain population changes in the countries experiencing modernization. Sociological literature on Croatian families points to childbearing attitudes as an important predictor of fertility behavior. If childbearing attitudes are determinants of fertility behavior, it is important to research the sources of these attitudes. Therefore, in this study two types of attitudes toward childbearing were defined as dependent variables: (1) attitudes towards children as an obligation to society and (2) attitudes toward children as a life’s joy. Five hundred and five couples participated, selected by a combination of quota and random sampling of the married couples living in the Zagreb metropolitan area. Five groups of predictors were analyzed and five models were obtained to which hierarchical regression analysis was applied. The analysis yielded four distinct groups of participants having different childbearing attitudes: 1. non-commited mothers, 2. mothers commited to dual role, 3. traditional non-commited fathers, and 4. family commited fathers. Relationships between attitudes and fertility behavior are discussed.
Children, Race/Ethnicity, and Marital Wealth Accumulation in Black and Hispanic Households
Authors: Painter II Matthew A. , Shafer Kevin
Published: February 2019

As wealth inequality in the United States continues to grow, family characteristics have become increasingly important to researchers’ understanding of changes in wealth inequality over time. One aspect of adulthood is having children and transitioning to parenthood, which can affect numerous outcomes, including wealth trajectories. Due to widely-recognized structural constraints, black and Hispanic households generally have fewer financial resources to draw upon when they begin to have children. Therefore, existing racial/ethnic wealth inequality may increase when minority families have children. W e use growth curve modeling techniques to analyze a sample of continuously married couples from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979 cohort. Results suggest that children affect family financial resources in different ways and that this effect varies by race and ethnicity. These findings improve our understanding of how a similar family event-having children-within families contributes to divergent financial outcomes between families.
Ethnicity ,Assimilation, and Un-partnered Childbearing in Guatemala
Authors: Ishida Kanako
Published: February 2019

Using a nationally representative sample of Guatemalan women aged 15 to 49 years, this study examines the ethnic differences in the likelihood of pre-union sexual initiation, pregnancy, and childbearing and whether assimilation exists, altering the level of such likelihood. Consistent with the argument that sexuality and reproduction are more decoupled from union formation among Ladinos than among the indigenous people, the results of the multilevel discrete-time hazard models demonstrate that Ladina women are significantly more likely to experience both sexual debut and first childbirth before union entry than indigenous women. However, the low likelihood of indigenous women is limited to those who reside in predominantly indigenous communities, and their residence in predominantly Ladino communities significantly increases their likelihood of experiencing both events. On the other hand, Ladinas’ likelihood is unaffected by the ethnic composition of the communities. These findings suggest that the assimilation process in Guatemala extends to sexual and reproductive behavior and is uni-directional from indigenous to Ladino. Furthermore, the likelihood of both pre-union sexual initiation and childbearing among indigenous women in Ladino communities is even higher than those of Ladinas in both the indigenous and Ladino communities. This invites an inference that these indigenous women’s sexual partners may be Ladino males and that their relationships are characterized by the ethnic hierarchy in Guatemala, in which indigenous people are assigned an inferior ethnic status.
Maintaining Family Memories through Symbolic Action: Young Adults’ Perceptions of Family Rituals in Their Families of Origin
Authors: Smit Ria
Published: February 2019

Rituals, as forms of repetitive and symbolic social action, play an important role in sustaining and enhancing quality family life. This article reports on a study which aimed to shed light on family rituals by taking young single adults, who still reside in their families of origin, as research population. Using a qualitative methodological approach, the focus fell specifically on the different kinds of rituals that exist in the family of origin of young adults and the symbolic meaning or value young adults attach to these family rituals. The narratives of the respondents revealed that all the young adults in the sample regularly partook in family rituals and that most of them ascribed positive symbolic meaning to these rituals. Not only did the findings reiterate the significance of rituals in maintaining family memories through reminiscence, but it was also found that memories lie at the core of family rituals to the extent that the ritual itself becomes part of family memory.
