Stability of Bilocal Relationships – Conditions and Development Paths An Analysis of the First and Second Wave of Pairfam
Authors: Dorbritz Jürgen , Naderi Robert 
Published: November 2020

Bilocal relationships have lost their status as an exclusive living arrangement. They occur almost as frequently as unmarried cohabiting couples and can be found in virtually all social groups. Nevertheless, they are characterised by a set of very specific traits. The causes behind the increasing number of bilocal relationships can on the one hand be seen in a tendency towards greater individualisation, i.e. the desire for greater individual autonomy, and on the other hand in increasing demands for work-related mobility, which can only be met by separate households.
It is generally assumed that one defining characteristic of bilocal relationships is that they are rather short-lived and often merely seen as a temporary or stopgap solution. On the basis of the first and second wave of the pairfam survey, the aim of this paper is to investigate the general circumstances of bilocal relationships and its implications for their future stability. The central question is which conditions lead to the continuation or the breakup of a bilocal relationship or to an eventual shared household.
When looking at wave one and wave two in comparison (i.e. a time period of one year), profound changes have already occurred regarding continuation or breakup. From those bilocal relationships found in wave one, more than half of the age-group questioned had not changed their chosen relationship type. The smaller portion of respondents had separated and thus ended bilocality (just over 10 %). The remaining bilocal relationships had increased their level of institutionalisation by becoming spouses or cohabitants. As regarding the development from wave one to wave two, it becomes apparent through the results of a multivariate analysis that the general circumstances of older respondents should be judged differently than those of younger ones. The work-related constellation between the two partners, spatial proximity, educational homogamy, previous experience in cohabitating and intentions in regard to separation or moving in together are explaining factors for the continuation of a bilocal relationship, the set-up of a shared household or a breakup.
Attitudes toward Abortion for Medical and Non-medical Reasons among the Turkish Second Generation in Europe – The Role of the Family and Societal Contexts
Authors: Milewski Nadja , Carol Sarah 
Published: November 2020

This paper studies attitudes toward abortion among the second generation of Turkish migrants and their native counterparts in six western and northern European countries. We focus on Turkish migrants because they not only constitute one of the largest immigrant groups, but are also hypothesised to be culturally and demographically very distinctive from the native group. We used data from the project on “The Integration of the European Second Generation (TIES 2007-08)” from Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland. The sample consisted of 4,761 respondents aged 18 to 35, 49.5 percent of whom were children of Turkish migrants born in Europe and 51.5 percent belonged to the respective non-migrant comparison groups. Unlike in other surveys, the question regarding attitudes toward abortion in the TIES questionnaire distinguished between “medical” and “non-medical” reasons for abortion, with the possible answers being “never”, “in specific cases” and “always”. We carried out multinomial logistic regression analyses and investigated three research questions: 1) Departing from assimilation theory, we examined whether the attitudes of migrant descendants differed from those of their non-migrant counterparts. Our results show that both groupings under study expressed a range of attitudes, and that abortion for medical reasons was more accepted than abortion for non-medical reasons. However, second-generation Turks were more likely than the natives to say that they would never accept abortion. 2) We investigated the extent to which the societal climate and the integration context of the respondents influenced their attitudes toward abortion, while assuming that we would find cross-country variation in these attitudes. Our results reveal that among natives, levels of acceptance of abortion are lowest in Germany and highest in Sweden and France. We found a similar country pattern for women and men of the second Turkish generation. 3) We explored the degree to which the respondents’ family contexts (childhood backgrounds as well as current socio-demographic variables) influenced their attitudes toward abortion. While these factors partially explained the variation within the Turkish second generation and within the native comparison group, the country differences remained significant. We conclude that attitudes toward abortion in the Turkish second generation are influenced by their family backgrounds, but also by their socialization experiences in European receiving countries. These findings suggest that cultural assimilation processes are occurring, but not to the point where the attitudes of migrant descendants have converged with the attitudes of natives in the respective destination country. * This article belongs to a special issue on migrant fertility.
Remittance Behaviour of Intra-EU Migrants – Evidence from Hungary
Authors: Kajdi László , Ligeti Anna Sára 
Published: November 2020

After the eastern expansion of the European Union (EU), a large number of emigrants left their home countries to work in economically better developed western member states. Hungary followed this EU emigration trend with a certain time lag. However, the rising number of emigrants caused structural problems in the domestic labour market. A comprehensive examination of intra-EU remittances as one of the major determinants of migration has been outside the scope of recent research activity. The data from the Hungarian Microcensus survey and the first Hungarian household survey focusing on the topic of remittances can provide a valuable case study of intra-EU private transfer flows.
The aims of this study are twofold. On the one hand we intend to provide empirical evidence for the major factors that determine remittance propensity by calculating probit regressions. On the other hand, OLS regressions are calculated in order to introduce variables which are associated with money transfers. These results are interpreted within the theoretical framework of the New Economics of Labour Migration (NELM) to identify the underlying motivations for remittances. The most important findings are that older men with vocational school education have the highest remittance propensity, and the likelihood of sending private support is higher among short-term migrants. As the key factors, the income of the sender person is positively associated with the sum of money flows, while the income of the receiving household is negatively associated. Within the theoretical framework of NELM, these results favour the dominance of altruistic motives, since supporting the household members who remain behind seems to be the major driving force. However, when intentions of returning home are considered in the models, it seems that self-interest might also play a role as a driver of remittances. Within this study, the main focus was on the characteristics of the senders, meaning that a possible field of future research could be an examination of these questions from the perspective of remittance receiver households.
From Living Apart to Living Together: Do Children Born before the Current Partnership Matter?

Published: November 2020

This study examines the association between having children born before the current partnership and women’s and men’s likelihood of transitioning from living apart together (LAT) to co-residing. LAT partnerships are common among individuals with pre-partnership children, but have so far been under-researched. Our study not only focuses on those in LAT relations, but also takes the different pathways to becoming a single parent into account. Event-history analysis was performed using waves 1-4 from the Netherlands Kinship Panel Study.
The results indicate that separated and widowed mothers were less likely to transition to co-residence with their LAT partner than childless women who had previously been in a co-residential union. Mothers who had previous out-of-union children were found to be even less likely to enter co-residence. Results were mostly similar for men and women. The only exception was the effect of being widowed with children; for men this resulted in higher chances of transitioning to co-residence with a new partner whereas for women the chances were lower.
The findings suggest that individuals’ parenthood and union histories are associated with the development of their later partnerships, and that these patterns vary by gender. Given contemporary and future patterns of partnership separation, our study provides insights for better understanding how LAT relations develop for different sub-populations.

Abstract. Lubis K, Sudibyo M, Farajallah A, Hanim N. 2020. Short Communication: The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) for identification of batoids collected from landing sites in Medan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 5414-5421. Batoids are member of Elsamoranch subclass which consist of many species. Most of batoids species are overexploited, especially in Medan Indonesia. Up to presents, the information about diversity of rays on the east coast of North Sumatra, Indonesia was very limited. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the diversity of rays on the east coast of North Sumatra. We examined the morphological trait of 82 individuals of batoid from three landing sites on the east coast of North Sumatra, namely: Tanjung Balai, Belawan, and Percut, then identify its species based on determination key. After that, we collected pectoral muscle tissue from an individual in each species which successfully identified to extract its genomic DNA. Molecular based identification was carried out by using DNA fragment form COI gene. The successfully amplificated COI gene DNA fragment then was sequenced and analyzed. Based on morphological trait, we successfully identifying nine species of batoid, which is Maculabatis gerrardi, Gymnura poecilura, Dasyatis zugei, Brevitrygon heterura, Neotrygon kuhlii, Hemitrygon bennettii, Rhinobatos jimbaranensis, Rhinoptera javanica, and Taeniura lymma. The result of identification based on COI gene DNA fragment was in congruent with morphological-based identification based on data BLAST-N and genetic distance value within same species. The nucleotide diversity within same species ranged from 0-15 nucleotide variants.

Abstract. Fugarasti H, Muzzazinah, Ramli M. 2020. Morphoanatomy of three Indigofera species (Leguminosae-Papilionoideae) in Java Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 5531-5538. This study aimed to explore the morphological and detailed anatomical features of the stems, leaves, and roots from three Indonesian Indigofera species. Morphological-anatomical studies of three Indonesian Indigofera species were carried out using embedded microscopic preparations. The anatomical characters of the specimens were observed using a compound optical microscope with magnification 40x, 100x, and 400x. The observation showed the anatomical cross-section of I. tinctoria stem was rectangular, I. suffruticosa was hexagonal, and I. arrecta was rounded. The tissue structures of Indigofera species, from the outside layer, were the epidermis, thin cortex, secondary phloem (narrow or wide), thick secondary xylem, and conspicuous pith in the middle. Whilst, the corner of I. suffruticosa stem contained thick collenchyma. The vascular bundles were the open collateral. The leaves of Indigofera species are made up of the upper epidermis, mesophyll (palisade parenchyma, spongy parenchyma), and the lower epidermis. The vascular bundles were located in the middle, with five or six segments of the xylem elements and small groups of phloem elements, all in the parallel lines. The primary stele type of the roots is actinostele, cambium activity pushed him aside. The vascular bundle of the roots consisted of a dense and tight secondary xylem composed of thick-walled circular vessels (mostly tightly arranged). Data about the morphoanatomy structure of three Indonesian Indigofera species could complement the novelty of the morpho-anatomy information records obtained by previous researchers.

The proposed article considers three variants of divisions of territories by their spatial location and administrative affiliation in Russia. It now exists 11 economic regions, 8 federal districts, and according to the Strategy for the Spatial Development of Russia up to 2025, planned to form new 12 macro-regions. Analyzed the similarities and differences, advantages and disadvantages of these options. Newly forming macro-regions are considered from the standpoint of the ranking of the subjects of the Federation of the Siberian and Far Eastern districts by investment attractiveness and risk factor of economic activity. Based on the analysis, it was concluded that the various options for spatial division of the country have little effect on the state of the economy as a whole. In relation to Siberia, proposals are presented for the approach to the formation of such an administrative association of territories in order to optimize their economic development.

Abstract: In 2009, the Ministry of Health published the National Policy for Integral Attention to Men's Health (PNAISH). This policy calls for holistic attention and attentive to the singularities of health behaviors inherent to the male audience. However, the presence of men and the services offered are still meaningless when compared to other priority populations in Primary Care. To analyze male behavior in relation to primary health care services and recommended by PNAISH in the perception of Nurses. This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. Data collection took place through a semi-structured interview with Nurses of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in the municipality of Itaitinga in the state of Ceará-Brazil. Data analysis was done based on Bardin (through coding) and the discussion in the light of the available literature. From the interviews conducted, two categories can be inferred from the light of the pertinent and updated literature: 1) Search, presence and access of men to the health service offered in Primary Care; 2) Factors involved in health care provided to the male population. These categories guided the understanding of how the reality of attention to men's health has been experienced. It is concluded that there are several obstacles that need to be overcome so that good practices in human health are feasible. For that, health practices and intersectoral and transdisciplinary discussions are needed to promote the singular approach and the individualized reception of men in health services. In order to develop together with the male population, the deconstruction of gender stereotypes that conceptualize them as invulnerable beings, provide open spaces to speak about their weaknesses and needs, having their demands welcomed and resolved, in order to approach and insert men in primary care services.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease with a wide range of clinical manifestations. Numerous observations and surveys of patients have shown that the most common symptom of SLE is fatigue complaints in 51 to 90% of patients.Objective: to determine the significance of fatigue in the general health status of RENAISSANCE cohort patients with SLE who were hospitalized in the Clinic, V.A. Nasonova Research Institute of Rheumatology.Patients and methods. The investigation included SLE patients aged 18 years and older who met the 2012 SLICC criteria. The standard examination accepted in the management of patients with SLE was made. Disease activity was determined by SLEDAI-2K; irreversible lesions in various organs were identified using the SLICC damage index. The SF-36 and the LupusQoL questionnaires were used to assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and the FACIT-Fatigue scale was applied to measure fatigue.Results and discussion. The investigation enrolled 328 patients, mainly women (91%); the mean age was 34.4±11.5 years; the duration of the disease was 106.3±97.9 months. In this group, moderate and high disease activities (SLEDAI-2K scores of 6–10 and 11–19, respectively) were observed at approximately the same frequency. At the time of inclusion, more than half (56.5%) of the patients already had various irreversible organ lesions. At Visit 1, the FACIT-Fatigue scale showed that fatigue was present in 148 (45%) of the 328 patients. According to the presence of fatigue, the patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 included 148 patients with fatigue; Group 2 consisted of 180 patients without fatigue. The Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) and anti-DNA antibody levels were significantly higher in the fatigue group (p=0.01 and p=0.02, respectively); the patients also had decreased HRQOL according to 7 LupusQol domains (p<0.001). The patients with fatigue were significantly more likely to receive intravenous glucocorticoids and rituximab. At 12 months after the start of treatment, the patients with fatigue were found to have a statistically significant reduction in disease activity, as well as normalization of anti-DNA antibody levels, improvements in HRQOL according to the LupusQol domains, and less severity of fatigue according to the FACIT-Fatigue scale.Conclusion. Fatigue was detected in almost half (45–53%) of SLE patients. It is associated with a higher disease activity by SLEDAI-2K and with a high anti-DNA antibody level. The patients with fatigue are observed to have an obvious worsening of HRQOL according to all LupusQol domains.

In clinical practice, acute-phase protein measurements during inflammation are usually used to monitor the activity and severity of adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD).Objective: to study the possibility of using the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in complete blood cell count as a marker for the activity and severity of AOSD in clinical practice.Patients and methods. The investigation enrolled 48 patients (29 females and 19 males; mean age, 32.8±12.5 years) with active AOSD, who met the criteria devised by M. Yamaguchi et al. Along with standard clinical and laboratory parameters and systemic scores, NLR was calculated in complete blood cell count.Results and discussion. There was a statistically significant correlation of NLR with the level of CRP (r=0.532), ferritin (r=0.43), ESR (r=0.40), and the systemic score reflecting the severity of the disease (r=0.449), which allows NLR to be regarded as a tool that is convenient to assess the activity and severity of AOSD in clinical practice.Conclusion. The findings have shown the good sensitivity and specificity of NLR, which indicates the possibility of using the latter as an available marker for assessing the activity and severity of AOSD in clinical practice.

Programas de Ensaios de Proficiência (PEP) têm por finalidade a avaliação do desempenho de um laboratório, contra critérios preestabelecidos por meio de comparações interlaboratoriais, que são utilizados como ferramenta de avaliação externa na demonstração da confiabilidade analítica laboratorial, além de ser um dos requisitos para o processo de acreditação. Para laboratórios analíticos que atuam no controle da qualidade de produtos e serviços destinados ao consumo humano, a obtenção de resultados confiáveis é fundamental para a credibilidade e para a garantia da qualidade das suas funções. Os resultados emitidos pelos laboratórios são avaliados pelos Provedores de Ensaios de Proficiência por meio de métodos estatísticos (índice z, índice zeta, erro normalizado, entre outros) para verificar a eficácia de seus desempenhos. Este trabalho teve como meta avaliar a efetividade da participação do Núcleo de Contaminantes Inorgânicos (NCI) do Centro de Contaminantes do Instituto Adolfo Lutz em diferentes PEPs para metais e semimetais na matriz água, no período compreendido entre 2013 e 2018. Os resultados apresentados demonstraram a efetividade da melhoria contínua realizada na execução das análises pelo NCI e consequentemente o aumento da confiabilidade dos resultados analíticos. Este trabalho visa divulgar, incentivar e fornecer ferramentas aos laboratórios analíticos que atuam no controle da qualidade de produtos e serviços destinados à saúde pública, para auxiliar a implantação de medidas corretivas e preventivas, permitindo seu aprimoramento analítico contínuo.
