Full textAbstract:
Dyadic concordance types of intimate partner violence (IPV) in Mexico are examined separately for married/cohabiting women and separated/divorced women using the 2011 National Survey on Household Dynamics. In the context of couples’ anger or conflict, IPV is primarily male perpetrated; at least half of women involved in a violent relationship report male-only violence. The rates of mutual violence are 26.7% for married/cohabiting couples and 29.3% for separated/divorced couples; those of female-only violence are 23.5% among married/cohabiting couples and 8% for separated/divorced couples, most of it consisting of situational IPV. Control is associated with IPV but does not differentiate between male-only and mutually violent couples; however, it does differentiate between nonviolent and female-only couples. Women’s use of violence in relationships tends to be linked with ethnic/racial and age structures and with previous experiences of violence during their childhood and adolescence. The implications for awareness and prevention programs, public policy, and future research are discussed. Existing claims regarding the mutual nature of IPV need to be contextualized because the prevalence of dyadic concordance types of IPV might be contingent on countries’ different levels of gender inequality and different cultural scripts regarding relationships.

Full textAbstract:
The rise of opportunities for females to work outside household settings in Indonesia has changed the division of traditional roles and responsibilities among married couples and thus may affect the quality of marital relationships. This study aims to observe how income earner status (single or dual earner) within families and couple type play roles in marital satisfaction. The participants comprised 224 spousal couples who are analyzed individually and together to categorize couple types measured using the Relational Dimension Instrument and Couple Satisfaction Index. Results indicate that for income earner status, no significant predominant effect on marital satisfaction was observed. The average marital satisfaction scores between couples with single- and dual-income statuses were insignificantly different, suggesting that dual- or single-income status does not have a direct effect on marital satisfaction. Based on couple type, traditional and separated types showed the highest marital satisfaction mean scores and lowest marital satisfaction scores among other types, respectively. These results reveal that interdependence and conflict resolution communication are important aspects in determining marital satisfaction levels among the Indonesian couples who participated in this study.

Japanese communication relies heavily on nonverbal cues and context. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of video-mediated communication (VMC) on communication satisfaction and marital relationships in young couples separated during the perinatal period as they honor the Japanese tradition of Satogaeri Bunben. Couples were assigned to the VMC treatment group ( n = 14) or control group ( n = 13). A mixed-methods approach to data collection and analysis was used. Longitudinal quantitative analysis from the Primary Communication Inventory and Intimate Bond Measure revealed significant differences between the Husband groups. Primary Communication Inventory and Intimate Bond Measure were strongly correlated regardless of group. Qualitative analysis of participant diaries revealed the addition of visual cues helped create a sense of “virtual co-presence,” which was both positive and negative. In conclusion, VMC appears to improve communication in the separated Japanese perinatal couples, especially through the addition of visual cues provided with VMC.

Full textAbstract:
Spousal-residence separation has become a serious social problem in China since the Cultural Revolution. Apart from housing shortages, the government's migration control, through the restriction on urban-household registration, is a main contributor to the separation. Based on the microdata of the 1987 National Population Survey, we find that the variation in spousal-residence separations among Chinese young couples in the mid-1980s is well explained by personal and household factors within a multivariate model. The separations were aggravated by migrations for the reasons of employment or education. Although marriage migrations reduced the number of separations, those who had been married for a short period of time (particularly newlyweds) were more prone to be separated. It is ironic that the higher a person's level of education, the greater the tendency for them to suffer the pain of spousal-residence separation. Household status could also be a very important factor: the lower the household status of a married individual, the more likely that he (or she) would be separated from their spouse.

Full textAbstract:
Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are non-coding RNAs involved in RNA modification and processing. Approximately half of the so far identified snoRNA genes map within the intronic regions of host genes, and their expression, as well as the expression of their host genes, is dependent on transcript splicing and maturation. Growing evidence indicates that mutations and/or deregulations that affect snoRNAs, as well as host genes, play a significant role in oncogenesis. Among the possible factors underlying snoRNA/host gene expression deregulation is copy number alteration (CNA). We analyzed the data available in The Cancer Genome Atlas database, relative to CNA and expression of 295 snoRNA/host gene couples in 10 cancer types, to understand whether the genetic or expression alteration of snoRNAs and their matched host genes would have overlapping trends. Our results show that, counterintuitively, copy number and expression alterations of snoRNAs and matched host genes are not necessarily coupled. In addition, some snoRNA/host genes are mutated and overexpressed recurrently in multiple cancer types. Our findings suggest that the differential contribution to cancer development of both snoRNAs and host genes should always be considered, and that snoRNAs and their host genes may contribute to cancer development in conjunction or independently.

This long distance marriage describes a physically separated situation where one partner has to settle in another place with certain reasons and goals such as job demands, education and others. The obstacles that can occur during this long-distance domicile marriage relationship are as follows, the couple does not feel happy, negative moods and emotions, less time together, family roles have not gone well even in fatal cases such as divorce. This study aims to improve subjective well-being for couples undergoing long-distance marriage relationships with a problem solving approach. The research design was carried out using a literature study related to problem solving approaches to increase subjective well-being for couples who are in long-distance marriage relationships. The results of this study indicate that problem solving is an effective alternative approach in increasing subjective well-being in long distance marriage.

Many government programs have implicit penalties or subsidies for marriage. For example, many couples pay higher income taxes when married than their combined tax liabilities as single filers, while many other couples receive a marriage subsidy because their joint taxes fall with marriage. Likewise, most low-income couples are eligible for higher welfare benefits if they are separated rather than married. This article discusses the marriage penalty, with a particular focus on tax and transfer programs. Why does it exist? Who faces it? To what extent does it affect marriage and labor market behavior? What tradeoffs are involved in reducing it?

Full textAbstract:
This research aims to identify factors associated with marital instability among Jewish and mixed (Jewish and non-Jewish) couples following immigration from the former Soviet Union. Based on the Strangeness Theory and the Model of Acculturation, we predicted that non-Jewish immigrants would be less well adjusted personally and socially to Israeli society than Jewish immigrants and that endogamous Jewish couples would have better interpersonal congruence than mixed couples in terms of personal and social adjustment. The sample included 92 Jewish couples and 92 ethnically-mixed couples, of which 82 couples (40 Jewish, 42 mixed) divorced or separated after immigration and 102 couples (52 Jewish, 50 ethnically mixed) remained married. Significant differences were found between Jewish and non-Jewish immigrants in personal adjustment, and between endogamous and ethnically-mixed couples in the congruence between spouses in their personal and social adjustment. Marital instability was best explained by interpersonal disparity in cultural identity and in adjustment to life in Israel. The findings expand the knowledge on marital outcomes of immigration, in general, and immigration of mixed marriages, in particular.

Full textAbstract:
Marriage is a social institution. Couples may have their own children via procreation, in the standard course of nature. Unfortunately, infertile couples are unable to have children. The infertility may be either medical or social. There is an underlying urge in every human being to produce biological descendants who will carry on their lineage in society. Although, a barren couple has the task of learning to cope with their lack of children both internally and externally. As a result, they believe they must turn to artificial insemination, in vitro fertilization, test-tube babies, as well as surrogacy, amongst other methods, in order to ensure their survival in society. These methods brighten their eyes and satisfy their yearning for genetically identical offspring. These advancements have aided infertile couples and adults in overcoming reproduction difficulties caused by infertility, such as medical reasons, the loss of a spouse, being separated, homosexual couples, or gay couples, among other things. Through this paper, I would like to enlighten on surrogacy. Here we would discuss various aspects like meaning, method, types, socio-legal, ethical issues, and various reproductive techniques. In modern age surrogacy is very popular in the whole world. Therefore, surrogacy is a highly sensitive and delicate issue. Indeed, it is high time to enact a law to regulate surrogacy in India. The present paper is totally based on secondary sources of data such as legal journals, books, magazines, newspapers and websites sources etc.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to examine people's beliefs about the causes of marital instability in a rural population cohort in south-west Uganda. Results from a baseline survey of HFV-1 infection in the cohort of over 4,000 adults (over 12 years old) showed a twofold increase in risk of infection in divorced or separated persons when compared with those who are married. A purposive sample of 134 respondents (seventy-two males, sixty-two females) selected to represent different ages, religions and marital status were asked in semi-structured interviews to comment on the reasons for continuing marital instability in their community. The most common reasons suggested for marital instability were sexual dissatisfaction, infertility, alcoholism and mobility. Interviewees stated that men and women would be more likely to stay with someone who satisfied them sexually. It was reported that infertility, particularly of the woman, would lead a couple to separate. Alcoholism was said to lead to neglect of family responsibilities and decreased sexual inhibitions, while occupational mobility was a common cause of infidelity. HIV infection was not mentioned as a direct cause of separation, but a small independent study revealed that seven out often couples separated on learning of a positive HIV test result of one or both partners. Marital instability is not uncommon in this population; there is evidence that HFV infection is making the situation worse.

There are problems in the case of couples undergoing long-distance marriages, even though Marriage Law Number 1 of 1974 Article 1 has emphasized that marriage is an inner and outer bond of husband and wife to form a happy and eternal family based on God Almighty. Based on a literature study on functional structural theory, it is concluded that the quality of a marriage cannot be separated from good communication, coping strategies, and social acceptance and support for married couples who undergo long-distance marriages.

Full textAbstract:
While substantial research focuses on genuine long-distance relationships, there is a lack of studies dealing with temporary long-distance relationships due to studies abroad. The present study with Austrian students tried to uncover differences between couples who terminated versus those who sustained their relationship during the exchange period. Participants (N = 119, 73.9% females, Mage = 24 years) were asked about perceived changes in the relationship due to their exchange experience, which they mainly spent abroad in Europe. Couples sustaining their relationship had more in-person contact. Thus, visits are essential for maintaining long-distance relationships during time abroad. In addition, participants still in their relationship after the exchange noticed different effects of changes on their relationship than did couples who separated.

Full textAbstract:
Generalized de Bruijn and Kautz networks are important since they allow networks of any size with vertices of fixed degree. Communication issues are related to easy construction/enumeration of shortest paths between vertex-couples. An easy method based on residue calculation is introduced to find multiple shortest paths if they exist, allowing better communication schemes. The main results concern the properties of multiple shortest paths (especially disjunction) and the number of vertex-couples separated by several shortest paths as a function of the graph size. Conditions to get or avoid networks with multiple shortest paths are proposed which can be useful for the design of communication schemes.

Full textAbstract:
Diamond deposits of well-separated particles have been obtained by the hot filament CVD technique on Si(100) wafers. Particle counting in SEM images and determination of their linear dimensions require a separate study of growth rates and of nucleation densities as a function of time, substrate temperature (500 °C–950 °C), gas phase composition (0.5–2% CH4 in H2), and total pressure (15–76 Torr). It is shown that recent models proposed for the growth process can successfully be applied if proper consideration is given to the high catalytic activity of the growing diamond surface for the heterogeneous recombination of gaseous H-atoms. This fast reaction controls the H-atom concentration at the surface and couples growth rates and nucleation densities via the gas phase.

Although the Catholic Church claimed to control marriage, in late-eighteenth-century Malta the faithful still considered matrimony to be a personal affair. The study is based upon episcopal court records and parish registers, which reveal substantial numbers of clandestine marriages, contravening the Council of Trent's directives concerning entry into marriage. Couples separated from each other at will, without the Church's consent. A few took other partners, despite the inquisitors' nets. Couples viewed sexual relations as matters for themselves to regulate, and sex outside marriage as not something into which the Church was to intrude. Especially noteworthy in this respect were relations between betrothed, since a man would not marry a woman who could not bear children.

Full textAbstract:
Marriages in Ghana are usually preceded by counseling. It is believed that premarital counseling helps to sustain marriages because it gives couples the initial skills needed to enable them to start their marriage and solve minor problems that may be encountered in the relationship. This study was aimed at assessing the significance of premarital counseling to the sustenance of marriage. The study adopted a mixed methodological approach in gathering the data. Data was gathered from 112 individuals from three different suburbs of the capital city of Ghana. The results showed that although pre-marital counseling was observed to be important for would-be couples, it does not help sustain all marriages. Married couples that were given pre-marital counseling were getting separated as well as those who never had pre-marital counseling. It is therefore recommended that although premarital counseling may be necessary, it is not sufficient to sustain marriages. Therefore, counseling should continue even after marriage.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to report on research that uncovered myths about HIV and AIDS held by serodiscordant couples in Malawi, and the sources of these myths. The paper reflects on how the myths affect serodiscordant couples’ engagement with HIV and AIDS information. Design/methodology/approach Van Manen’s (1997) approach to analysis of phenomenological data was used to analyse data from in-depth interviews conducted in Malawi with 21 serodiscordant couples and three individuals who had separated from their partners because of serodiscordance. Findings Serodiscordant couples in Malawi believe and hold on to some inaccurate HIV and AIDS information that can be seen as “myths”. Some of these myths are perpetuated by official HIV and AIDS information when it is translated into the local languages. Other myths derive from social norms of the societies where the couples live. Practical implications The findings of this paper have practical implications for how HIV and AIDS information providers should engage with target audiences to understand the origins of the myths they hold. The findings also imply that some myths have technical, religious, moral and cultural bases which need to be addressed before challenging the myth itself. Originality/value Using real-life descriptions of experiences of HIV and AIDS information provided by serodiscordant couples, the authors reveal how myths can affect engagement with the information. The authors make recommendations on how to address myths in ways that contribute to a positive experience of HIV and AIDS information by serodiscordant couples.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the processes by which custodial mothers can support and inhibit fathers' relationships following divorce and separation. It draws on qualitative interviews with resident mothers and nonresident fathers from 54 separated families, including 22 sets of former couples. The study found that mothers adopt a range of strategies, from proactive gate opening to gate closing, and that these strategies appear influential. Maternal perceptions of paternal competence and child welfare beliefs, parental relationship quality, and parental role bargains were strongly linked to different types of maternal gatekeeping. Informed by systems theory, the interviews of former couples suggest that gate work, whether gate opening or gate closing, can be a dynamic transactional process rather than a linear and unidirectional process running from mothers to fathers.

Full textAbstract:
Chloride is the major free anion in the extracellular space (>100 mM) and within the cytoplasm in eukaryotes (10 ∼ 20 mM). Cytoplasmic Cl− level is dynamically regulated by Cl− channels and transporters. It is well established that movement of Cl− across the cell membrane is coupled with cell excitability through changes in membrane potential and with water secretion. However, whether cytoplasmic Cl− plays additional roles in animal development and tissue homeostasis is unknown. Here we use genetics, cell biological and pharmacological tools to demonstrate that TMEM16A, an evolutionarily conserved calcium-activated chloride channel (CaCC), regulates cytoplasmic Cl− homeostasis and promotes plasma membrane remodeling required for mammalian epithelial morphogenesis. We demonstrate that TMEM16A-mediated control of cytoplasmic Cl− regulates the organization of the major phosphoinositide species PtdIns(4,5)P2 into microdomains on the plasma membrane, analogous to processes that cluster soluble and membrane proteins into phase-separated droplets. We further show that an adequate cytoplasmic Cl− level is required for proper endocytic trafficking and membrane supply during early stages of ciliogenesis and adherens junction remodeling. Our study thus uncovers a critical function of CaCC-mediated cytoplasmic Cl− homeostasis in controlling the organization of PtdIns(4,5)P2 microdomains and membrane remodeling. This newly defined role of cytoplasmic Cl− may shed light on the mechanisms of intracellular Cl− signaling events crucial for regulating tissue architecture and organelle biogenesis during animal development.

Divorce causes structural family changes, which require specific decisions to be made. While making any decision that might have any impact on ones‘ children welfare it is necessary to consider what is best for the children, thus children should be involved in the decision-making process. This article aims to investigate what sort of challenges parents under the divorce process face while they seek to ensure that children interests would be met.In order to conduct such an investigation, a qualitative methodology is employed. For data collection, analysis utilizes the semi-structured interview method, for the analysis of data the method of qualitative content analysis is being used. The research analysed seven couples of parents, all these couples are undergoing the divorce process and has children under 18 years of age.Research‘s data reveals that it is important for parents to meet the needs of a child, to protect the child from negative effects of the divorce, to keep the child in touch with both parents, to involve the child in the changes that are caused by the divorce. However, parents have different evaluations of children needs, on one hand, some parents do consider a child‘s opinion as of utmost importance, on the other hand, some parents believe that child‘s opinion is irrelevant. It is also has been noticed that while parents aim to ensure that child keeps in touch with both of the separated parents, conflict occurs between the parents and the child and among the parents themselves. Parents usually fight with the child over a couple of issues. Firstly, children find it inappropriate to have restricted conditions for interaction with separately living parents. Secondly, it is usually unacceptable for a child to live in a household without his father or mother. Conflicts among divorced parents occur due to different approaches to childcare as well as disputes during collaboration agreement implementation.

An important challenge in several disciplines is to understand how sudden changes can propagate among coupled systems. Examples include the synchronization of business cycles, population collapse in patchy ecosystems, markets shifting to a new technology platform, collapses in prices and in confidence in financial markets, and protests erupting in multiple countries. A number of mathematical models of these phenomena have multiple equilibria separated by saddle-node bifurcations. We study this behaviour in its normal form as fast–slow ordinary differential equations. In our model, a system consists of multiple subsystems, such as countries in the global economy or patches of an ecosystem. Each subsystem is described by a scalar quantity, such as economic output or population, that undergoes sudden changes via saddle-node bifurcations. The subsystems are coupled via their scalar quantity (e.g. trade couples economic output; diffusion couples populations); that coupling moves the locations of their bifurcations. The model demonstrates two ways in which sudden changes can propagate: they can cascade (one causing the next), or they can hop over subsystems. The latter is absent from classic models of cascades. For an application, we study the Arab Spring protests. After connecting the model to sociological theories that have bistability, we use socioeconomic data to estimate relative proximities to tipping points and Facebook data to estimate couplings among countries. We find that although protests tend to spread locally, they also seem to ‘hop' over countries, like in the stylized model; this result highlights a new class of temporal motifs in longitudinal network datasets.

The official suicide rate in Ireland increased markedly between 1970 and 1985. This is a genuine increase in suicide and not an apparent one due to previous deficiencies in recording practices. Possible reasons for this change include an increase in‘anomie’shown by a rise in the rates of crime, illegitimacy and admissions to hospital for alcoholism, a decline in social cohesion revealed by a fall in the marriage rate and a rise in the number of separated couples, and an increase in unemployment.

Full textAbstract:
Electrogenic cable bacteria can couple spatially separated redox reaction zones in marine sediments using multicellular filaments as electron conductors. Reported as generally absent from disturbed sediments, we have found subsurface cable aggregations associated with tubes of the parchment worm Chaetopterus variopedatus in otherwise intensely bioturbated deposits. Cable bacteria tap into tubes, which act as oxygenated conduits, creating a three-dimensional conducting network extending decimeters into sulfidic deposits. By elevating pH, promoting Mn, Fe-oxide precipitation in tube linings, and depleting S around tubes, they enhance tube preservation and favorable biogeochemical conditions within the tube. The presence of disseminated filaments a few cells in length away from oxygenated interfaces and the reported ability of cable bacteria to use a range of redox reaction couples suggest that these microbes are ubiquitous facultative opportunists and that long filaments are an end-member morphological adaptation to relatively stable redox domains.

We address the issue of moving from the joint home on the occasion of separation. Our research question is: To what extent can the occurrence of moves related to separation, and the distance moved, be explained by ties to the location, resources, and other factors influencing the likelihood of moving of persons who separate and their ex-partners? We use data from the unique ASTRID micro database for Sweden, based on administrative information about the entire Swedish population. The methods are logistic regression analysis of moving, and OLS regression of the log-distance moved, for people from two-gender couples who separated during the period 2004–05. We find marked negative effects of local ties to parents and siblings, work, and the location in general on moving and moving distance. The results concerning resources and other factors influencing moving were less pronounced. Particularly striking was the absence of an effect of education level.

Full textAbstract:
In the 1580s and 1590s, the English state required that all subjects of the crown attend the Protestant state church. Those who refused (called recusants) faced imprisonment as part of the government’s attempt to bring them into religious conformity. Those imprisonments forced involuntary marital separation onto Catholic couples, the result of which was to disrupt traditional gender roles within Catholic households. Separated wives increasingly fulfilled the work their husbands performed in addition to their own responsibilities as the matriarch of a landed estate. Gentlewomen were practiced at estate business since they worked in partnership with their husbands, but a spouse’s imprisonment often meant that wives wrote more petitions and settled more legal and financial matters than they did when their husbands were at liberty. The state also imprisoned Catholic wives who undermined the religious conformity of their families and communities. Spousal imprisonment deprived couples of conjugal rights and spousal support and emphasized the state’s power to interfere in marital relationships in early modern England.

This study investigates the consequences of parental separation on personality variables, relationship quality and observed conflict behavior of 42 young German couples (average age = 22.86; average relationship duration = 3.04). The actorpartner-interdependence model is used for dyadic data analysis of couple data. Individuals from separated families report weaker relationship skills and more relationship conflicts than individuals from nuclear families (actor effects). Partners of individuals from separated families report less self-worth and more explosiveness than partners of individuals from nuclear families and experience more ambivalence and less satisfaction in their relationship (partner effects). Besides some gender-specific findings, the relationship duration moderates the association of family type with many correlations. Among others, men from separated families exhibit less autonomous relatedness in their observed conflict behaviour and this is more pronounced in long-term relationships. Our findings suggest that mate selection could be an important factor in the intergenerational transmission of separation risks.
Zusammenfassung
Diese Studie untersucht die Auswirkungen einer elterlichen Trennung auf Persönlichkeitseigenschaften, Beziehungsqualität und das beobachtete Konfliktverhalten von 42 jungen Paaren Durchschnittsalter 22,86 J.; durchschnittliche Beziehungsdauer 3,04 J.). Für dyadische Analysen der Paardaten wird das Actor-Partner-Interdependence-Model (APIM) herangezogen. Personen aus Trennungsfamilien schreiben sich selbst geringere Beziehungskompetenzen zu und erleben mehr Partnerschaftskonflikte als Personen aus Kernfamilien (Actoreffekte). Partner von Personen aus Trennungsfamilien berichten einen geringeren Selbstwert und eine höhere Explosivität als Partner von Personen aus Kernfamilien und erleben mehr Ambivalenzen sowie eine geringere Zufriedenheit in der Beziehung (Partnereffekte). Neben weiteren geschlechtsspezifischen Befunden zeigt sich, dass die Beziehungsdauer viele Zusammenhänge moderiert. U.a. zeigen Männer aus Trennungsfamilien weniger autonome Verbundenheit im beobachteten Konfliktverhalten und dies insbesondere in längeren Beziehungen. Möglicherweise stellt die Partnerwahl einen wichtigen Faktor bei der intergenerationalen Transmission des Trennungsrisikos dar.

The method used in this research is the empirical jurisdiction. The legal consequences of marriage, held without mating with their bankruptcy agreement is legally valid as the bankruptcy of the husband or wife of the bankrupt debtor. The separation between the property along with a personal wealth does not necessarily separate due to the bankruptcy imposed on married couples who enter into marriage without mating agreement as well as the marriage held by mating or separation agreement treasure. The legal position of property the debtor spouse into marriage without the agreement having been declared bankruptcy mating separated into two parts, namely the unity property and personal possessions. Husband or wife treasure the bankruptcy debtor entered into treasure union declared legally bankrupt as a result of participating bankruptcy imposed against the partner.Keywords: Effects; Marriage; Marriage Agreement; Bankruptcy.

Marriage is a form of uniting two servants of God into the same goal, the purpose of marriage is to achieve lasting happiness with a spouse. However, it cannot be denied that career demands have forced the footballer family at the Jakarta Matador FC Club to have long-distance relationships. The purpose of this study was to determine the conditions and household strategies of the married couples of professional footballer families in the Jakarta Matador FC club who have long-distance relationships and are still able to maintain harmony. Then it also aims to find out a review of Islamic law on long-distance households in the married couples of professional footballer families at the Jakarta Matador FC Club. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive qualitative research with the location of the research on the married couples of footballers who live in Jember and Banyuwangi. Primary data sources are interviews with married couples of professional footballer families at the Jakarta Matador FC club who have long-distance relationships and secondary data, namely other literature relevant to the issues being studied. Data collection methods are observation, interview, and documentation. Meanwhile, the qualitative descriptive data analysis method starts from data reduction, data presentation and concluding. The data validity used source and technique triangulation. The results of this study explain that although the distance is separated, the footballer family can be said to be harmonious because of the openness, mutual trust and good communication among them. Based on the theory of maqasid syari'ah, long distance relations carried out by research subjects have carried out their rights and obligations until they are generally allowed.

Long Distance Marriage or also called long-distance marriage, is a familiar phenomenon, including in Indonesia. Long Distance Marriage describes a situation where couples are physically separated. One partner has to go elsewhere for specific purposes, such as work, or the other partner has to stay at home or in their area of origin. Long-distance marriages also cause many wives to experience loneliness because their husbands have left them for months. Physical separation from people considered close is often a painful experience and can affect almost every aspect of life.This study aims to determine the relationship between marital satisfaction and conflict resolution in long-distance marriage couples. This study uses a quantitative correlational method. The data collection technique used the purposive sampling method, determining the sample with specific considerations. The number of participants in this study was 66 out of a total population of 260, with criteria including Married men/women, under 40 years of age and undergoing long-distance marriages.The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between marital satisfaction and conflict resolution. This is indicated by the coefficient values of the two variables, namely Rxy = 0.246 with FCount = 4.123 (FCount>3.986) and P = 0.046 (p <0.05). There is a positive relationship between marital satisfaction and conflict resolution. This is indicated by the value of the correlation coefficient on marital satisfaction and conflict resolution variables, which is 6.1%. This means that the higher the marital satisfaction, the higher the level of conflict resolution in long-distance marriage couples. Vice versa, the lower the marital satisfaction, the lower the level of conflict resolution in long-distance marriage couples.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a framework for the linear random vibration analysis of the coupled three-dimensional (3D) maglev vehicle-bridge system. Except for assembling the equation of motion of vehicle only via the principle of virtual work, the fully computerized approach is further expanded to assemble the governing equation of fluctuating current via the equilibrium relation. A state-space equation couples the equation of motion of the vehicle and the governing equation of fluctuating current. The equation of motion of a real three-span space continuous girder bridge is established by using finite element methods. A separated iteration method based on the precise integration method and the Newmark method is introduced to solve the state-space equation for the maglev vehicle and the equation of motion for the bridge. Moreover, a new scheme to application of the pseudoexcitation method (PEM) in random vibration analysis is proposed to maximize the computational efficiency of the random vibration analysis of the maglev vehicle-bridge system. Finally, the numerical simulation demonstrates that the proposed framework can efficiently obtain the mean value, root mean square (RMS), standard deviation (SD), and power spectral density (PSD) of dynamic response for the coupled 3D maglev vehicle-bridge system.

Full textAbstract:
The longitudinal course of battering was investigated over a 2-year time span. Forty-five batterers and their spouses were assessed with self-report, psychophysiological, and marital interaction measures. Both the stability of the relationship and of the battering were assessed. At the two-year follow-up, 62% of the couples were still married and living together, while 38% had separated or divorced. A combination of six variables, reflecting severity of husband emotional abuse, wife dissatisfaction, husband physiological arousal, and wife defending herself assertively, was 90.2% accurate in predicting separation or divorce 2 years later. Of the couples still living together at follow-up, 46% of the batterers did not reduce their levels of severe violence, while 54% did significantly decrease levels of violence. Husbands who continued to be severely violent at 2-year follow-up were more domineering, globally negative and emotionally abusive toward their wives at Time 1 than husbands who reduced their levels of violence. Even though 54% of the batterers decreased the frequency of violent acts over the 2-year period, only 7% achieved complete desistance. Moreover, husband emotional abuse did not decrease over the 2-year period, even when physical abuse did.

Full textAbstract:
Although widely used in policy debates, the literature on children’s outcomes when raised by same-sex parents mostly relies on small selective samples or samples based on cross-sectional survey data. This has led to a lack of statistical power and the inability to distinguish children born to same-sex parents from children of separated parents. We address these issues by using unique administrative longitudinal data from the Netherlands, which was the first country to legalize same-sex marriage. These data include 2,971 children with same-sex parents (2,786 lesbian couples and 185 gay male couples) and over a million children with different-sex parents followed from birth. The results indicate that children raised by same-sex parents from birth perform better than children raised by different-sex parents in both primary and secondary education. Our findings are robust to use of cousin fixed effects and coarsened exact matching to improve covariate balance and to reduce model dependence. Further analyses using a novel bounding estimator suggest the selection on unobserved characteristics would have to be more than three times higher than the selection on observed characteristics to reduce the positive estimates to zero.

ABSTRACTThe social security structure has been seen as a serious disincentive to the employment of women married to unemployed men. The implied significance of this disincentive is not apparent from verbal accounts, where only a minority of such women cite social security considerations as having any direct relevance in their own labour force experience. Recent research, critical of the social security model, has been conducted with a view to exploring the employment strategies of couples. In such research, economic structure is seen as the context of household employment strategies but not, it appears, as part of their substance; household level processes and ‘external’ economic processes are separated. In this respect, such approaches parallel the social security model. The present paper is based on an analysis of the household circumstances and employment histories of 790 couples in Hartlepool. Our findings suggest that ‘strategies’ regarding household income maintenance are patterned in relation to labour demand and occupational opportunity. This association contributes to the coincidence of spouses' employment status and is indicative of the problems of separating employment demand and labour supply processes, a separation which leads the social policy literature to overstate the significance of social security disincentives to employment.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of considerations contained in the article is the functioning of the institution of separation, introduced to the Family and Guardianship Code by the amendment of 1999. The analysis uses the results of empirical research (files) published in the literature on the adjudication of separation and its abolition – in the practice of Polish courts – and, above all, data statistics on the institution in question, published by the Central Statistical Office in the years 2000–2020. The considerations contained in the article allow for the formulation of several conclusions. Statistical data clearly show that the number of adjudicated separations is successively decreasing, while the number of divorces is increasing. More and more couples are therefore choosing divorce rather than separation as a way of resolving difficulties in marital life. However, the process described above applies primarily to couples of short duration. This group of married couples is not interested in the effort to maintain the marriage, rather they strive to end it quickly and “put their lives in order” again. The institution of separation, especially according to this group, is only a temporary solution, which ultimately leads to the dissatisfaction of the spouses with the legal situation between them. Based on the analysis made in the article, it can be concluded that there is a certain category of marriages for which the discussed institution meets the assumptions adopted by the legislator when it was adopted. This is evidenced by the practice of abolition of separation. Despite the decrease in the number of adjudicated separations, the number of abolished separations has remained at a similar level for years. The discussed institution will probably continue to evolve and “look for its proper place” in changing social contexts, implementing the legislator’s intention and related functions, including, in particular, helping married couples in crisis. In this context, according to the authors of the article, it would be worth considering various possibilities of institutional support for separated married couples, who are currently left to their own devices. Perhaps this is where the reasons for the process of decreasing the attractiveness of the separation institution, according to the opinion of the spouses, should be sought.

Long distance relationship or called Long Distance Relationship is a relationship where the couple is separated by physical distance and it is not possible to meet. Opportunities to communicate are very limited in the individual view of each partner who undergoes, The condition of couples who undergo long-distance marriage relationships, married couples will usually experience a crisis in their proximity due to their different geographical distances and locations. Factors that cause couples to undergo long-distance relationships are work factors and educational factors. In undergoing a long-distance marital relationship will affect the conflict. Conflict can arise due to personal sources, physical sources, sources of interpersonal relationships, and environmental sources. Commitment is something that makes someone want to be attached to something or someone and be with him until the end of the journey. Commitments made to be agreed upon in marriage in order to help married couples stay in harmony in building a harmonious family.
This study intends to examine more deeply about Long Distance Marriage according to Islamic law and how to study the law through the Qur'an, Hadith and solutions. The research was conducted using research methods. Library research is a series of activities related to the methods of collecting library data, reading and taking notes and processing research materials. this is a study that utilizes library resources to obtain research data. namely research that intends to be experienced regarding a social reality by describing a number of data results studied between the phenomena tested in order to gain in-depth understanding, develop theories, describe those that trace references in the printed and electronic Islamic world about long-distance marriage according to Islamic law.
The results of the study state that long-distance marriage relationships in Islamic law are allowed as long as husband and wife who undergo it are equally sincere and do not violate Islamic law and the process. According to Quraish Shihab, marriage is husband and wife who should accompany each other physically and mentally, marriage is together physically, mentally, mentally, and so on, that's why the physical separation is not fully appropriate. In Islam there is a rule of taklik talak which falls on certain conditions or hanging divorce. One thing that is emphasized is that if the husband leaves his wife within a period of months/years (according to the agreement) and the wife is not willing, it will result in divorce. This means that the willingness of both parties is the most important point before undergoing a long-distance marriage.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The growing ‘Africans in China’ literature has documented the extent and extensiveness of flows from Africa to Chinese cities. However, return migration has not received much attention, and even less is known about the role of the family in return consideration. The article focuses on how married Nigerians reckon return and family in Guangzhou city using data from ethnographic observations and interviews with 25 participants. While the family is central to how married migrants think about return, the dynamics vary among the participants. Migrants whose spouses/children reside in Nigeria complain about being distant from their families and the challenge of unification and ‘absentee fatherhood’. Nigerian couples that live in Guangzhou as a family consider the high cost of raising children and the future competitiveness of their children as ‘China-educated’ as factors in return calculations. Moreover, despite living with their husbands in China, some Nigerian women desire to return to Nigeria to improve their lives, but they did not embark on a return journey to avoid family separation. Among Nigerians in an interracial relationship with Chinese women, the feeling of (un)belongingness resonates in their return consideration owing to poor experiences with access to residence permit and social welfare. While integration issues impact on return migration of married Nigerians in Guangzhou, the transnational practices of the men suggest that a return behaviour would probably accompany return consideration.

We have found that an anti-CD11c monoclonal antibody (MAb) inhibits the respiratory burst induced in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-differentiated U937 cells as well as in human peripheral blood monocytes and neutrophils upon cell stimulation with concanavalin A. The MAb had no effect, however, when the added stimulus was fMet-Leu-Phe or PMA. Flow cytometry analyses indicated that concanavalin A was able to interact with CD11c. The anti-CD11c MAb inhibited significantly concanavalin A binding to differentiated U937 cells, and concanavalin A blocked binding of anti-CD11c MAb to the cells. Binding of labelled concanavalin A to membrane proteins which were separated by PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose paper indicated that proteins with apparent molecular masses similar to those of CD11c (150 kDa) and CD18 (95 kDa) molecules were the main concanavalin A-binding proteins in differentiated U937 cells as well as in mature neutrophils. Similar experiments carried out in the presence of the anti-CD11c MAb showed a specific and significant inhibition of concanavalin A binding to the CD11c molecule. These results indicate that concanavalin A binds to the CD11c molecule and this binding is responsible for the concanavalin A-induced respiratory burst in PMA-differentiated U937 cells as well as in human mature monocytes and neutrophils.

Full textAbstract:
Sexual promiscuity is becoming a norm, especially among female students in tertiary learning institutions. The sexual behavior is largely traceable to the families from which students are brought up whether intact, separated, monogamous or polygamous. It is based on this background that this study investigated parental type, family type and age as potentials for promiscuity among female students in tertiary learning institutions in Abeokuta metropolis of Nigeria. The study employed the descriptive survey design. The population of the study was f 1621 final year female students from four tertiary learning institutions in Abeokuta Metropolis. Non-proportional stratified random sampling technique was used to select 100 female students, 25 from each of the four tertiary learning institutions. The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire which was developed by the researchers. Data was treated through the independent sample t- test and one way analysis of variance techniques. The findings indicate that those students from separated parents had a more potential for promiscuity than those from intact parents. Also, female students from polygamous family exhibited high level of promiscuity than those from monogamous families. It is therefore recommended that pre and post marital counselling be organized for couples to acquaint themselves with necessary adjustment and coping strategies.

Full textAbstract:
Low-dimensional methods including the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) and Linear Stochastic Estimation (LSE) have been applied to the flow between a backward facing ramp and an adjustable flap. A range of flap angles provide a flow which is incipiently separated and can be used to flesh out ideas for active feedback separation control strategies. The current study couples Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and multi-point wall pressure measurements using POD and LSE to estimate the full velocity field from the wall pressure alone. This technique yields a sufficiently accurate estimate of the velocity field that the incipient condition can be detected. The ability to estimate the state of the flow without inserting probes into the flow is important for the development of practical active feedback flow control strategies.

The maternal mortality rate (MMR) is an important indicator of the degree of public health. In 2019, Indonesia's MMR was still high, namely 305 per 100,000 live births, while Indonesia's MMR target in 2015 was 102 per 100,000 live births. Problems related to pregnancy and childbirth, including the maternal mortality rate (MMR) and infant mortality rate (IMR) cannot be separated from the various factors that influence it, including maternal health status and readiness for pregnancy, antenatal examinations (pregnancy), delivery assistance. and immediate care after delivery, as well as socio-cultural factors. Pregnancy with a distance that is too close will increase the risk of bleeding, miscarriage, and postpartum death. One of the efforts to prevent it is by joining the family planning program to restore conditions after being pregnant before. This community service is carried out in RW 14, Sidanegara Village, Cilacap Tengah District. The purpose of this community service is to provide an understanding to couples of childbearing age about family planning in the view of Islamic nursing. It is hoped that couples of childbearing age can understand and finally decide to participate in family planning in order to improve the health of mothers and children. After the health education was carried out, data showed that there was a significant increase in knowledge, namely the good category before the health education intervention as many as 0 people (0%) and the good category after the health education intervention as many as 17 people (94.44%). There was an increase in the number of participants who had knowledge in good categories, namely 17 people. Has a difference in the average pre and post test knowledge value of 3.33. It is hoped that couples of childbearing age become family planning acceptors to prevent the risk of pregnancy and be able to plan their families well.

Full textAbstract:
The cytoplasmic NADH/NAD redox potential affects energy metabolism and contractile reactivity of vascular smooth muscle. NADH/NAD redox state in the cytosol is predominately determined by glycolysis, which in smooth muscle is separated into two functionally independent cytoplasmic compartments, one of which fuels the activity of Na+-K+-ATPase. We examined the effect of varying the glycolytic compartments on cystosolic NADH/NAD redox state. Inhibition of Na+-K+-ATPase by 10 μM ouabain resulted in decreased glycolysis and lactate production. Despite this, intracellular concentrations of the glycolytic metabolite redox couples of lactate/pyruvate and glycerol-3-phosphate/dihydroxyacetone phosphate (thus NADH/NAD) and the cytoplasmic redox state were unchanged. The constant concentration of the metabolite redox couples and redox potential was attributed to 1) decreased efflux of lactate and pyruvate due to decreased activity of monocarboxylate B-H+ transporter secondary to decreased availability of H+ for cotransport and 2) increased uptake of lactate (and perhaps pyruvate) from the extracellular space, probably mediated by the monocarboxylate-H+ transporter, which was specifically linked to reduced activity of Na+-K+-ATPase. We concluded that redox potentials of the two glycolytic compartments of the cytosol maintain equilibrium and that the cytoplasmic NADH/NAD redox potential remains constant in the steady state despite varying glycolytic flux in the cytosolic compartment for Na+-K+-ATPase.

SummaryTwin studies have been used to understand the sources of genetic and environmental variation in body height, body weight and other common human quantitative traits. However, it is rather unclear whether these two sources of variation could be really separated in practice. Here, we consider a special study design where phenotype data from married couples and their siblings have been collected. The marital status gives information about the shared environment, while siblings give information about both genetic and environmental variation. To dissect sources of variation and to allow some deviations and pedigree errors in the data, we model such data using a robust polygenic model with finite genome length assumption. As a summary, we provide the estimates for age-dependent proportions of total variation which are due to polygenic and environmental effects. Here, these estimates are provided for body height, weight, systolic blood pressure and total serum cholesterol measured from subjects of the Indian Migration Study.

This article presents a novel methodology to design swash plate type axial piston machines based on computationally based approach. The methodology focuses on the design of the main lubricating interfaces present in a swash plate type unit: the cylinder block/valve plate, the piston/cylinder, and the slipper/swash plate interface. These interfaces determine the behavior of the machine in term of energy efficiency and durability. The proposed method couples for the first time the numerical models developed at the authors’ research center for each separated tribological interface in a single optimization framework. The paper details the optimization procedure, the geometry, and material considered for each part. A physical prototype was also built and tested from the optimal results found from the numerical model. Tests were performed at the authors’ lab, confirming the validity of the proposed method.
