description: ABSTRACT My novel, Jackal’s Orchard, fictionalises the communal tensions arising from the likely social and cultural changes in a Bangladeshi village because of the impact of globalisation. Isolated and resistant to progress, the village of Jabalpur is stagnant in its ways and has not seen any significant progress since the partition of India. The villagers suspiciously view the government’s rural development program, which includes building a bridge across the Padma River, a medical clinic and a sealed road for traffic. In addition, a British-owned multinational spice company seeks to build a factory on a tract of high land in the village. A tenacious Afghani fundamentalist, Jalaluddin Chisti, wants that same piece of land to establish an Islamic school. This adds to the tension in the village. Caught in the conflict is one of the company’s young, junior executives, Ashraf Siddiqi, who has been entrusted with the responsibility of negotiating to buy the land from Jabalpur’s oldest resident, Abu Taher. The turmoil in Ashraf’s personal life (his impending divorce and a fractious relationship with his demanding father) makes him determined for professional advancement, by striving for a promotion which will reward him with significantly better remuneration. Abu Taher refuses to sell his land, but his kindness and compassion for the young man, particularly after Ashraf is attacked and assaulted by Jalaluddin Chisti’s followers, marks the beginning of a gradual change in the executive. Prompted by the altruism of his doctor friend, Nafees Mahruf, who has left a lucrative medical position in Britain to return to Bangladesh and practice his profession, Ashraf finds that he has to compromise between his career ambition and his guilt about the perceived damage to the village culture. A takeover of the British company by an Indian spice manufacturer and Abu Taher’s death and the usurpation of his land heighten the crisis. Ashraf seeks to resolve the dilemma on a personal level by arranging to adopt the old man’s grandson, Rahim, as well as accepting the offer of CEO of the restructured company. The exegesis examines the creative process that led to the final drafting of Jackal’s Orchard. The analysis not only scrutinises the theoretical aspects of creativity and their relevance to the process that resulted in the evolution of my novel, but also investigates the cultural factors, such as the experience of diaspora, pluralistic identity, estrangement and the role of imagination on memory, that significantly influence the creativity of migrant writers. Finally, the exegesis traces the genesis and progress of the novel through its different stages and concludes that there cannot be a set of guidelines that can be used as a template for creativity. A process is unique to each piece of creative writing and develops organically from within the work itself. [Appendix pages 145-147 are blank]

description: The Insight analyses the recent judgment of the Court of Justice in the Aleksei Petruhhin v. Latvijas Republikas Ģenerālprokuratūra case (judgment of 6 December 2016, case C-182/15). The preliminary ruling deals with the relationship between EU law and Member States' extradition agreements with third countries. The decision focuses on the compatibility of the nationality exception provided by an extradition agreement between Latvia and Russia with the prohibition of discrimination on grounds of nationality and with the freedom of movement of EU citizens. While the nationality exception can be considered as pursuing a legitimate objective under EU law, namely to prevent the risk of impunity, the Court of Justice identifies the existence of less restrictive measures within the internal criminal cooperation system. Member States are thus required to extend the protection of nationals to EU citizens that have exercised their freedom of movement and, according to the principle aut dedere aut judicare, to refuse the extradition and to surrender the requested person to the Member State having jurisdiction to prosecute the offender.

Chipless RFID system for barcode replacement
Creators: name: Preradovic, Stevan
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a modern wireless data transmission and reception technique for applications including automatic identification, asset tracking and security surveillance. As barcodes and other means of identification and asset tracking are inadequate for recent demands, RFID technology has attracted interest for applications such as logistics, supply chain management, asset tracking, and security access control. However, the cost of RFID limits their potential for the replacement of trillions of barcodes each year. The only possible solution is a fully printable chipless RFID tag. A novel RFID system comprised of a chipless RFID tag and an associated reader is reported in the thesis. The chipless tag is a fully-passive microwave circuit and uses spectral signatures for data encoding. The tag consists of a multi-resonator coupled to transmitting and receiving antennas. To accommodate multiple bits, the tag operates over the ultra wideband (UWB) frequency spectrum. UWB antennas are used to receive the interrogation signal sent from the reader and transmit the signal back to the reader after performing modulation of the frequency spectra with the multi-resonator. Modulation is performed in both amplitude and phase of the spectrum. A chipless tag up to 35 bits which operate over 3-7 GHz band has been designed. After the successful design of the chipless tag, three prototype readers have been developed. The Gen1 reader was designed to validate the chipless RFID concept using 6-bit chipless tag reading based on amplitude-only detection in S-band; the Gen2 reader is an upgraded version of Gen1 with both amplitude and phase detection capability; and the third generation reader is a UWB reader capable of reading up to 35-bits in the UWB band. The integrated reader is a complete system with analog RF and digital control sections loaded with graphical user interface (GUI) and software protocol. Both the hardware and software design of the RFID reader and field trials of the designed chipless RFID system have been validated in the real world environment. An investigation into antenna systems in order to enhance reading range up to 70 cm has also been performed. The unique features of the developed chipless RFID system are: (i) a low cost, fully printable tag and (ii) secure, remote and non-line-of-sight operability. The importance of this concept lies in the fact that chipless RFID tags become comparable to barcodes in terms of the substrate material used and the cost of fabrication. The main application of this chipless RFID system is in short-range tagging of extremely low cost items such as the Australian polymer banknote.

Working for wellness: defining, measuring, and enhancing employee well-being
Creators: name: Page, Kathryn May
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The focus of this thesis was on the utility of the workplace in promoting employee well-being. The thesis applied principles of positive psychology (PP) to the field of occupational health psychology (OHP). Paper 1 reviewed employee well-being with a focus on both general and work-related dimensions. Paper 2 developed a niche for positive employee well-being programs. It reviewed a number of strategies for improving employee health and well-being, including occupational health and safety legislation, corporate wellness programs, worksite health promotion and disease management programs, and stress prevention. Although important, such programs do not focus on promoting positive psychological well-being. The utility of supplementing these approaches with positive employee well-being programs was discussed from an applied ethics perspective. Paper 3 detailed the design and evaluation of the Working for Wellness Program using a mixed method design. Outcomes were tested using a randomized control trial. Participant feedback and field notes were analyzed to determine process and impact effectiveness. Participants were recruited from a government organization (N = 50; 73% female, M age = 39.7 years; M tenure = 8.9 years) and randomly allocated to an intervention or control group. Subjective and psychological well-being (SWB, PWB), affective well-being at work (AWB), and workplace well-being (WWB) were assessed at pre-intervention, one week post-intervention, and at three and six month follow-ups. Results showed significant improvements in SWB, PWB and AWB, but not WWB. Program strengths were its positive focus and emphasis on group discussion. Limitations were sample attrition and a lack of mechanisms to support participant change at work. Overall, this thesis supports the importance of PP to fields of research, such as OHP, that seek to improve employee well-being and the quality of work life.
Inner-core vacillation cycles during the rapid intensification of Hurricane Katrina
Creators: name: Nguyen, Chi Mai
Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Tropical cyclone intensity change by internal processes is studied using the Australian Bureau of Meteorology operational model, TCLAPS. An ensemble of high-resolution simulations of Hurricane Katrina (2005) reveal a robust feature, in which the majority of modelled vortices go through cycles of structure change, vacillating between a more symmetric and a more asymmetric phase during rapid intensification. • During the Symmetric phase the eye-wall has a high level of symmetry, consisting of relatively uniform elongated convective bands. Low-level vorticity and equivalent potential temperature exhibit a ring-like structure. The largest intensification rates occur near the radius of maximum tangential wind (RMW). • The Asymmetric phase is characterised by a highly asymmetric eyewall, having a polygonal form with vortical hot towers (VHTs) located at the vertices. Low level vorticity and equivalent potential temperature have a monopole structure with the maximum near the center. The largest intensification rates occur inside the RMW. Detailed analyses suggest the following transition mechanisms: • Symmetric to Asymmetric transitions are associated with the outbreak of VHTs in the eyewall, which result from a cooperative combination of barotropic and convective instability. These VHTs actively mix air between the eye and eyewall, thus, creating the monopole structure. • Asymmetric to Symmetric transitions occur as the VHTs weaken due to exhausted convective instability. They become horizontally strained convective bands that move radially outward as vortex rossby waves (VRWs). High intensification rates resume near the RMW as result of a) increased horizontal vorticity fluxes associated with redevelopment of convection in the reduced rapid filamentation zone outside of the weakened VHTs; and b) VRW-mean flow interactions. We hypothesise that these cycles are an alternative mode of hurricane intensification during rapid intensification of less mature storms as opposed to Eyewall Replacement Cycles that are observed primarily in strong hurricanes with a mature structure.

Subjects: Circular economy business model; Open innovation practices; Sustainable performance

description: This article aims to contribute to a policy of innovation in the field of Circular Economy (CE). To do so, it presents An integrated framework for the CE based on open innovation (IOP) practices towards sustainability. Finally, an agenda for future research were presented. The research was addressed to Italian business incubators (BIs). The proposal was elaborated from the specialized literature and validated externally by specialists. The validation was through a questionnaire sent via email. The produced results were satisfactory, validating the presented proposal. This research started with a gap in the literature on this object. It is hoped that this research can contribute to state of the art and the state of practice. It is also hoped that this research may illuminate the spectrum of decision-making for a complex subject with few studies on the subject, but with a relevant agenda for society. OIP represent substantial advances in building innovation to support business models for CE and achieving sustainability in BIs. Evidently, there are still issues to be deepened in other studies of the kind. And for these new studies it is expected to have made some contributions, especially in the methodological field, which can still be explored. It is believed to have been able to highlight the importance of applying innovative tools and methods when planning complex systems such as CE.

Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 310303
subject: Ecological physiology

description: Sulphur (S) is an essential bioelement with vital roles in serving regulatory and catalytic functions, and tightly coupled with N and P in plants. However, globally stoichiometric patterns of leaf S and its relationships to leaf N and P are less well studied. We compiled 31,939 records of leaf-based data for 2,600 plant species across 6,652 sites worldwide. All plant species were divided into different phylogenetic taxa and growth forms. Standard major axis analysis was employed to fit the bivariate element relationships. A phylogenetic linear mixed effect model and a multiple regression model were used to partition the variations of bioelements into phylogeny and environments, and then to estimate the importance of environmental variables. Global geometric mean leaf S, N and P concentrations were 1.44, 15.70 and 1.27 mg g-1, with significant differences among plant groups. Leaf S-N-P positively correlated to each other, ignoring plant groups. The scaling exponents of LN-LS, LP-LS and LN-LP were 0.64, 0.76 and 0.79 for all species, but differed among plant groups. Both phylogeny and environments regulated the bioelements. The variability, rather than mean temperature controlled the bioelements. Phylogeny explained more for the concentrations of all the three bioelements than environments, of which S was the one most affected by phylogenetic taxa.
THE VALUES OF LOCAL WISDOM OF THE SASAK IN DEVELOPING SCHOOL CULTURE

description: Abstract

The purpose of this research is to find out how the values of local wisdom of Sasak serve as the basis for the development of school culture, how the process of developing learning programs based on the values of local wisdom of Sasak is carried out, and what forms of development of the values of local wisdom of Sasak are implemented in schools. This research is a case study where the data is collected through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document analysis. The analysis is carried out by transcribing data, making notes, recordings, and documents, generating ideas, codifying data, designing themes, and interpreting data. The results show that the values of local wisdom of Sasak that underlie the development of school culture are "tindih," the basis for Sasak society to do various positive things, or become good, obedient, and diligent individuals, so that the students in school become "solah" (good) and "soleh" (righteous). The second value is the support of morals, such as the value of "maliq" (prohibition, forbidden), and "merang" (the spirit of doing good and positive things). The third layer of values is the affective values like "sangkep" (deliberations). The effectiveness of school culture is reflected in the implementation of learning programs that focus on students as an effort to improve learning outcomes. School culture can be observed through the activities of students in school life. The study implies that the internalization of the values of local wisdom of Sasak in the development of school culture through the development of learning programs: intra-curricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular activities in daily activities at school, makes it easier to direct and lead school members. However, due to the limitations of this research, further research is needed.

Year: 2012

description: As a consequence of the discourse on the ways and means of reducing educational disadvantages of immigrant children and youth in Germany, family education and parent education programs have increasingly drawn attention as possible solutions to these problems. During recent years, in this field numerous programs have been either developed domestically or adapted from other programs originating outside of Germany. In this article, some of these programs are systematically classified by employing a multi-dimensional scheme. As criteria of distinction, the number of program modules, target groups and program structures are taken into account. Further analyses indicate that most programs care a lot about a low-threshold access and that they do produce positive short-term effects. Based on existent empirical studies, it is, however, not feasible to assess long-term effects on the children’s scholastic advancement, since in general these studies neither involved a control group nor did they include longitudinal research. Zusammenfassung Im Kontext des Diskurses über den Abbau der Bildungsbenachteiligung von Kindern und Jugendlichen aus Familien mit Migrationshintergrund wird der Blick verstärkt auch auf die Möglichkeiten der Familienbildung gerichtet. Hier wurden in den letzten Jahren zahlreiche Konzepte entwickelt bzw. aus dem Ausland adaptiert. Im vorliegenden Aufsatz werden solche Programme anhand eines mehrdimensionalen Kategorienschemas systematisiert. Als Unterscheidungskriterien wurden die Anzahl der Programmmodule, die Adressaten sowie die Konzeptstruktur herangezogen. Ergänzende Analysen verdeutlichen, dass sich die meisten Programme sehr um Niedrigschwelligkeit bemühen und auch kurzfristig zu positiven Effekten führen. Inwieweit durch Familienbildung tatsächlich langfristige Effekte auf den Bildungserfolg der Kinder erzielt werden können, lässt sich auf Grundlage vorliegender empirischer Untersuchungen jedoch nicht beurteilen, da diese in der Regel weder ein Kontrollgruppen- noch ein Längsschnittdesign aufweisen.

The Failure of China's "democratic" reforms
Creators: name: Yuan, Zaijun
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In its propaganda, the Chinese Communist Party does not deny the value of “democracy”, but it insists that democracy in China can be only “socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics”. The most essential nature of such “democracy” is that it is under the single-party system and it excludes multi-party politics and competitive elections. In recent years, “Chinese democracy” has won more support because of achievements the party has made in developing economy. This raises a question: does this “efficient” authoritarian political system in China, even if it is not democratic, deserve applause because it can facilitate economic development? The party also insists that it is “democratic”. But, is the party’s theory of “democracy” compatible with western democracy? Since 1998, the party has organised some political reforms, such as “direct elections” for township executives, “direct elections” for township party secretaries, township party congress reform and “deliberative democracy” experiments, while maintaining single-party politics. In the party’s propaganda, some of these reforms have become party achievements in improving “socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics”. In addition to these four kinds of party-organised reforms, another “reform” originated from the grassroots, the participation of independent candidates in a few local people’s congress elections. This thesis examines these five local political reforms. It demonstrates that the four reforms instigated and organised by the party were tightly controlled and manipulated by the party. Although some reform measures may possibly liberalise parts of China’s political mechanism, it is highly unlikely that the four reforms will eventually lead to political democratisation in China. In the fifth “reform”, which was motivated from outside the bureaucratic system, the party took drastic measures to repress the political participation of grassroots power. As a result, nearly all independent candidates in the local people’s congress elections failed in their attempts to gain office. The prospects for this “reform” are also poor. This thesis argues that all five reforms have failed and that none will lead to China’s democratisation in the near future. The thesis concludes that the party’s authoritarian regime in China is by nature anti-democratic and that so called “socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics” is not democratic.

description: Positive child development may be impeded by biological and socio-cultural adversity. However, a cognitively stimulating environment may compensate these risks. Studies have confirmed positive effects of preschool children’s home literacy environments for their school readiness. We compared data of two longitudinal studies to investigate to what degree a stimulating home literacy environment can compensate biological (premature birth) and socio-cultural adversity (low SES and migration background). Results showed that a more stimulating home literacy environment predicted better cognitive and language development of both Turkish immigrant and very preterm /very low birth weight preschool children. Thus, parents of biological or socio-cultural at-risk children can promote resilience by providing a stimulating home literacy environment. We need more data on the specific developmental needs of different groups of at-risk children to facilitate their academic achievement. Zusammenfassung Erfolgreiche kindliche Entwicklung kann durch biologische und soziokulturelle Risiken behindert werden. Zugleich zeigen zahlreiche Studien, dass die familiäre Leseumwelt einen protektiven Faktor für die Entwicklung im Vorschulalter darstellen kann. Wir verglichen Daten aus zwei Längsschnittstudien um zu untersuchen, wie stark die familiäre Leseumwelt biologische (Frühgeburtlichkeit) und soziokulturelle Risiken (niedriger sozioökonomischer Status und Migrationshintergrund) in der kognitiven und sprachlichen Entwicklung von Vorschulkindern kompensieren kann. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigten, dass die häusliche Leseumwelt positive Effekte auf die Entwicklung sowohl türkischstämmiger als auch sehr früh und/oder sehr leicht geborener Kinder ausübt. Dies bedeutet, dass Eltern von Vorschulkindern mit soziokulturellem oder biologischem Risiko Resilienz fördern können, indem sie ihnen eine reichhaltige Leseumwelt zur Verfügung stellen. Wir benötigen mehr Informationen über die spezifischen Bedürfnisse von Kindern, die mit unterschiedlichen Entwicklungsrisiken aufwachsen, um diesen eine bessere Förderung zu ermöglichen.

description: Mathematical competencies are important not only for academic achievement at school, but also for several professions later in life. Although plenty of research has focused on the development of linguistic competencies and the impact of learning environments in families, mathematics has mostly been neglected so far. However, a few initial studies indicate that the mathematical learning environment in families, the so-called “Home Numeracy Environment” (HNE), is important for the development of mathematical abilities. The present longitudinal study was carried out from kindergarten until the end of Grade 1, using a sample of about 600 children. Results show the impact of family-related mathematical activities, such as playing dice or number games, on the development of mathematical competencies. The positive effects remained even after intelligence had been controlled for. Moreover, HNE was not only a significant predictor of mathematical abilities at the end of kindergarten, but it also influenced the further development of mathematical competencies above and beyond its initial impact. Results are shown in a structural equation model, and are discussed with regard to their practical implications. Zusammenfassung Mathematische Kompetenzen sind nicht nur für schulischen Erfolg, sondern auch später für viele Berufe wichtig. Während zahlreiche Untersuchungen zur sprachlichen Kompetenzentwicklung und deren Zusammenhang mit der familiären Lernumwelt vorliegen, wurde der Bereich Mathematik bislang nur randständig untersucht. Dabei weisen ersten Studien auf die Bedeutsamkeit der mathematischen Lernumwelt in Familien, der sogenannten „Home Numeracy Environment“ (HNE), für die mathematische Kompetenzentwicklung hin. Befunde der vorliegenden Längsschnittstudie mit etwa 600 Kindern vom Kindergarten bis Ende der ersten Klasse zeigen den Einfluss mathematischer Aktivitäten der Eltern wie z.B. Würfel- oder Zahlenspiele auf die mathematischen Fähigkeiten der Kinder. Die positiven Effekte bleiben auch unter Kontrolle der Intelligenz der Kinder bestehen. Weiterhin sagt die HNE nicht nur die mathematischen Kompetenzen beim Schuleintritt vorher, sondern beeinflusst darüber hinaus auch die weitere mathematische Kompetenzentwicklung. Die Befunde werden in einem Strukturgleichungsmodell dargestellt und hinsichtlich ihrer praktischen Implikationen diskutiert.

description: This thesis examines Victoria’s plea bargaining process and argues that significant benefits would flow from formalisation, in the form of statutory recognition and control. Drawing upon the responses of 42 participants obtained from 57 semi-structured interviews, and the observations of 51 participants, it identifies and analyses the justifications driving the formalisation of Victoria’s plea bargaining process, and discusses the practical and policy implications of formalisation for the adversarial legal culture, the actions of counsel and the judiciary, the pre-trial process and the Legal Aid funding structure. The interview data sheds light on judicial, prosecutorial, defence counsel and policy advisor perspectives, while the observations of legal participants in Victoria’s criminal justice process, which focus on pre-trial hearings, facilitates a direct and engaged discussion of the policy implications and practicalities of formalisation. The intention of this thesis is to stimulate debate about the lack of transparency, scrutiny or control in plea bargaining and the Crown’s discretionary powers in making prosecutorial concessions. This thesis also aims to highlight the extent of inefficiency confronting the stability and effectiveness of Victoria’s criminal justice system, and to demonstrate the importance of accountability and transparency in efficiency-driven processes, such as plea bargaining and pre-trial reform. This thesis responds to a significant gap in the literature and in legal policy, and offers a vital contribution to criminology scholarship with a detailed analysis of a highly under-examined area in the Victorian context. In particular, the qualitative data and penetration of Victoria’s legal culture provides a unique opportunity to examine the contentious and significant issues surrounding plea bargaining, which are often beyond the reach of researchers and the general public. Importantly, while this thesis examines plea bargaining in the Victorian context, increasing movements towards court efficiency and transparency across common law systems means its findings resonate with the wider Australian and international adoption of efficiency-driven processes. Furthermore, this thesis will inform broader discussions about plea bargaining, prosecutorial discretion, conflicts in adversarial traditions and efficiency-driven reform in a global context.

Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 44
subject: Human society

description: This thesis, a translation from Arabic into English of Mikhail Naimy’s short story “Cuckoo Clock” and a critical commentary, applies a cognitive approach to the translation of style. The translation communicates to the target readership the cognitive state of the author as a contextual implication of the style of the original Arabic story. The principle that guides the translation choices is optimal relevance; the target text’s style communicates these contextual implications with minimal processing effort on the part of the target text reader. Contained in Naimy’s style is a set of contextual implications that help support and convey cognitive states to the reader, which are summarized by the term “Mind-Style.” The commentary provides an explanation of the choices taken in translating the mind-style of the author based on the notion of optimal relevance.

description: In this study, we focus on self-reported negative and positive interaction behavior and their relationship with one’s own relationship satisfaction and intention to separate, controlling for perceived stress, well-being and satisfaction with life. Our aim is to analyze if negative or positive interaction behavior is more predictive for relationship satisfaction and intention to separate. For this purpose, we examined N = 2,583 married participants. Results indicate that negative and positive behaviors predict relationship satisfaction and intention to separate beyond the prediction by control variables. Comparing two forms of positive behavior (1. dyadic coping, 2. positive interaction behavior), dyadic coping was a better predictor of relationship satisfaction than positive interaction behavior. In sum, results show the importance of positive behavior for relationship quality in a convenience sample of married subjects. Implications for counseling, therapy, and future research are discussed. Zusammenfassung In dieser Studie wird der Zusammenhang von selbsteingeschätztem negativem und positivem Interaktionsverhalten mit der eigenen Partnerschaftszufriedenheit und Trennungsabsichten unter Kontrolle der Einflüsse von erlebtem Stress, allgemeinem Wohlbefinden und Lebenszufriedenheit analysiert. Hauptziel ist die Prüfung der Frage, ob negatives oder positives Interaktionsverhalten prädiktiver für die Partnerschaftszufriedenheit und die Trennungsabsichten ist. Dazu wurden N = 2‘583 verheiratete Personen zu ihrer Partnerschaft befragt. Die Resultate zeigen, dass selbsteingeschätztes eigenes negatives und positives Verhalten wie erwartet über die Kontrollvariablen hinaus mit Partnerschaftszufriedenheit und Trennungsabsichten zusammenhängt. Beim Vergleich der beiden untersuchten Bestandteile des positiven Verhaltens (1. dyadisches Coping; 2. positives Interaktionsverhalten) weist das dyadische Coping stärkere Effekte auf die Partnerschaftszufriedenheit auf, als positives Interaktionsverhalten. Insgesamt belegen die Ergebnisse die Bedeutung des positiven Verhaltens in klinisch unauffälligen Partnerschaftsbeziehungen. Implikationen für die Beratung, Psychotherapie und zukünftige Forschung werden diskutiert.

Die Kernfamilie als Ideal. Zur Konstruktion von Scheidung und Nachscheidungsfamilien

Publisher: name: Journal of Family Research

description: Against the backdrop of high divorce rates and changing concepts in the social sciences, the issue is addressed as to how children and families construct divorce and patterns of family life prior and subsequent to divorce. Based on an Austrian qualitative survey of 50 ten-year old children and their respective parents (n=71), it can be shown that divorce is predominantly constructed as a disintegration of the family. Based upon the dimensions of normalcy, complementarity and stability, nuclear families are being perceived as the most advantageous form of living together as a family. Whereas single-parent families are constructed as being both deficient and disadvantaged, stepfamilies are seen in a more positive light which, in turn, is due to the everyday presence of two parents in those families. These findings indicate that the interviewees orientate themselves along the lines of the model of disorganization, hierarchized ways of family life, and family concepts that are household-centered and focus primarily on family structures. Finally, the implications and repercussions of these findings for family policies and family research are being discussed. Zusammenfassung Vor dem Hintergrund hoher Scheidungsraten und veränderter sozialwissenschaftlicher Konzepte wird die Frage gestellt, wie Kinder und Eltern Scheidungen sowie familiale Lebensformen vor und nach einer Scheidung konstruieren. Basierend auf einer österreichischen qualitativen Befragung von 50 zehnjährigen Kindern und ihren Eltern (n= 71) zeigt sich, dass Scheidung überwiegend als Auflösung der Familie konstruiert wird. Kernfamilien werden, basierend auf den Aspekten Normalität, Komplementarität und Stabilität, als vorteilhafteste Lebensform wahrgenommen. Ein-Eltern-Familien werden als defizitär und benachteiligt konstruiert, während Stieffamilien aufgrund der alltäglichen Präsenz von zwei Elternpersonen positiver betrachtet werden. Die Ergebnisse verweisen auf eine Orientierung am Desorganisationsmodell, eine Hierarchisierung von Lebensformen sowie haushaltszentrierte und familienstrukturell fokussierte Konzeptionen. Auswirkungen und Implikationen dieser Ergebnisse für Sozialpolitik und Familienforschung werden diskutiert.
