Abstract:
AbstractThis article examines intersections between sexuality, migration, and citizenship in the context of cross-border and cross-region marriage migration in Kutch, Gujarat, to underscore that women's mobility across borders is one site on which national cultural and political anxieties unfold. It argues that contemporary cross-region marriage migration must be located within the larger political economy of such marriages, and should take into account the historical trajectories of marriage migration in particular regions. To this end, it examines three instances of marriage migration in Kutch: the princely state's marriages with Sindh, nineteenth-century marriages between merchants from Kutch and women from Africa, and contemporary marriage migration into Kutch from Bengal. The article asks whether the relative evaluation of these marriages by the state can be viewed in relation to the settlement policies undertaken after partition, where borderlands were to be settled with those who were deemed loyal citizens. Finally, by historicizing marriage—as structure, but also aspirational category—it seeks to move away from the singularity of marriage as framed in the dominant sociological discourse on marriage in South Asia.

Abstract:
SummaryKnowledge of inbreeding levels in historical times is necessary to estimate the health consequences of past inbreeding, and to contextualize the current public debate about cousin marriage in Britain. This research aims to calculate the level of cousin marriage using the intensive technique of multi-source parish reconstitution and to determine whether village organization, religion and occupational class influenced the level of consanguineous marriage. A wide variety of documentary sources were used to create extensive pedigrees of spouses in over 800 marriages in the 19th century in the rural villages of Stourton and Kilmington. The closed village of Stourton had higher levels of inbreeding than the open village of Kilmington. Catholics had lower rates of 1st cousin marriage but higher rates of 2nd cousin marriage than Protestants. Farmers had higher levels of 1st cousin marriage than labourers. The levels of consanguinity in south-western Wiltshire in the 19th century were related to the economic structure of the villages and the religion and social class of the spouses.

Abstract:
Marriage and marriage migration are often downplayed in the migration literature. The role of location in the decisionmaking underlying marriage migration, and the relations between marriage and labor migration, are little understood. Research that focuses on international marriages and on Western or capitalist economies has highlighted marriage as a strategy, but little attention is given to domestic marriage migration and to socialist and transitional economies. In this paper, through a field study of two villages in western Guangdong, China, and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data from that study, we wish to advance two arguments. First, we argue that changes in the spatial economy have reinforced the importance of location in the matching and trade-off processes that lead to marriage migration. Evidence of spatial hypergamy across long distance supports the notion that marriage is a means for peasant women to move to more favorable locations. Second, we show that increased opportunities for labor migration—a product of economic transition—have enlarged peasants' marriage market and at the same time promoted division of labor within marriage. The findings underscore household and individual strategies in response to macrolevel constraints and opportunities, the centrality of marriage for understanding migration, and the relations between marriage and labor migration.

Abstract:
Marriage institution has provided the anchorage and the rationale for Africa to be termed as the ‘continent of the family’. This coveted identity is however, in total decline given the new realities and circumstances surrounding the institution. This is occasioned by family instability in which most marriages no longer hold. Traditional African family patterns are slowly but progressively being altered as a result of modernization. Family patterns that were the norm in African societies are gradually being altered and substituted by modern values and the vows common in churches ‘until death do we part’ are no-longer tenable. Changes in the African family is being felt in fertility rates, are at marriage, marriage patterns and marital stability. Based on opportunistic sampling that conveniently selected 26 maternal dyads (consisting of mothers and their daughters who are married with at least two children) within the Western Kenya region, the study examined through in-depth interviews, the trends that depict family patterns in Kenya. It teased out two key issues connected with the African family patterns that is marriage and familial stability with the goal of illuminating the changes that are characterizing their prevalence. The comparative study between the mothers and their daughters regarding the nature of their marriages and the effects on familial stability concludes that marriage is under siege and innovative processes are needed to change the tide since the present generation are too casual in their marital relationship and the institution is fast losing its grip.

Abstract:
Marriage is a very important institution in society. The existence of the institution is to legalize the legal relationship between a man and a woman. Marriage, according to Law Number 1 of 1974 Concerning Marriage and Islamic Law, not only seen from a purely formal aspect, but also from a religious and social aspect. In the religious aspect to determine the validity of marriage, while the formal aspect is related to administrative aspects, namely registration at the Office of Religious Affairs and civil registration. In the conception of Western civil law, marriage is seen in civil relations only. It means that the law does not interfere in ceremonies held by the church. The law only concerns "civil marriages", namely marriages that take place in the presence of a civil registry employee

Abstract:
After reviewing the state of early and forced child marriage (ECM) globally and nationally within Nepal, this research assessed the determinants, consequences and preventive measures of ECM in rural municipalities in Nepal today. This mixed method surveyed 167 households taking 15 % sample from the clusters of three wards of Badhaiyatal Rural Municipality in Bardiya and Dullu Municipality in Dailekh of Western Nepal. Besides household survey, six Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), 16 Key Informant's Interviews (KIIs), and 12 In-depth-Interviews (IDIs) were also conducted. There was the prevalence of ECM in 94% of the total sampled households. Majority (64%) of the marriages had taken place at the age of 15-19 years. Besides, about 23% of the marriage had occurred at 10-14 years. Average age at marriage was 16.5 years. Lack of awareness, self-elopement, misuse of social media, and parents’ perception of daughters as burden were some contributing factors of ECM. Unsafe sexual behavior, unwanted pregnancy and its risk to unsafe abortion, maternal and child mortality, deprivation of education and self- dependence and violence were some effects of ECM. Recommendations to address ECM and curb its negative effects are presented.

Abstract:
This study investigates whether parental marital status affects young adults’ attitudes toward marriage and divorce. There exists a vast amount of literature on the impact of divorce on young adults in Western cultures; however, no previous empirical studies have been conducted on the attitudes of young adults from intact and divorced families in the Gulf region or in Arab countries in the Middle East. The sample of the study consisted of 661 young adults from Kuwait University (from divorced and intact families). The findings reveal that adults whose parents divorced show fewer positive attitudes toward marriage than do those individuals from intact marriages. The study also suggests that adults whose parents were divorced carry more positive attitudes toward divorce compared with individuals from intact marriages. Furthermore, gender was found to be an important factor in shaping attitudes toward marriage and divorce. A longitudinal study is recommended to look at the changes in young adults’ attitudes toward marriage and divorce over time, which will help to identify the influence of other factors of attitudes toward marriage and divorce.

Abstract:
With the enactment of the Civil Unions Bill in 2006, South Africa became the fifth country in the world, and the first in Africa, to legalize same-sex marriage. While supporters of the bill hailed the decision as signaling the end of discrimination against homosexual couples, critics slammed it as undermining traditional marriage between a man and woman. The attitudes and beliefs of a sample of South African students regarding homosexuality and same-sex marriage were investigated. A survey was conducted among a sample of 150 undergraduate students at a predominantly black university in the Western Cape. Results showed that 71% viewed same-sex marriages as strange and supported religious groups opposed to such marriages. Close to 40% supported discrimination against homosexuals with 46% indicating that they should be denied the right to adopt children. It is concluded that, despite having legal protection, public acceptance of homosexuals and same-sex marriage may be quite limited in South Africa.

Abstract: The article deals with marital agreements that had a bearing on Bulgarian-Serbian foreign policy relations between the 1280s and the beginning of the 1320s. There are five such agreements. Three are connected with the Bulgarian capital of Turnovo: the marriage of Milutin and Anna, the daughter of Tsar Georgi I Terter; the marriage of Theodora, the daughter of King Smilets (1292–1298) and Stefan, future King Stefan Dečanski, the son of Milutin; and the marriage project between the widow of Smilets and Milutin himself. The other two are the result of Serbia’s relations with the north-western Bulgarian city of Vidin: the marriage of Shishman with the daughter of Dragoš, the grand župan of Milutin and the marriage of Mihail Shishman with Anna/Neda, Milutin’s daughter. Keywords: Milutin, Georgi I Terter, Stefan Dečanski, Mihail Shishman, Anna/Neda, diplomatic marriages.

Gedalof, Irene. "Against purity : identity, western feminisms and Indian complications." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1997. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/3851/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis argues that Western feminist theoretical models of identity can be productively complicated by the insights of postcolonial feminisms. In particular, it explores ways that Western feminist theory might more adequately sustain a focus on 'women' while keeping open a space for differences such as race and nation. Part One identifies a number of themes that emerge from recent Indian feminist scholarship on the intersections of sex, gender, race, nation and community identities. Part Two uses these insights to look critically at the work of four Western theorists, Rosi Braidotti, Judith Butler, Donna Haraway and Luce Irigaray. I argue that strategies which privilege sexual difference as primary cannot deal adequately with differences such as race and nation. But I also argue that strategies which privilege destabilizing identity can be equally constrained by the logic of dualisms which has made it so difficult for feminists to sustain a focus on women and their differences. Part Three discusses how the insights to be drawn from Indian ferninisms might be taken on board by Western ferninisms in order to develop more complex models of power, identity and the self. Throughout the thesis I draw on a Foucauldian understanding of power as productive, and on Foucault's insight that subjects and identities emerge, not through the imperatives of a single symbolic system, but through the intersection of multiple networks of discourses, material practices and institutions. I argue that, by attending to women's complex location within intersecting landscapes of gender, nation, race and other community identities, feminist models of identity can dispense with a logic of dualisms in order to redefine, and not only destabilize 'women' as the subject of/for feminism. This requires working against purity on three levels. First, it requires a model of power that gives up on the search for pure, power-free zones and works instead with the instabilities power produces as it both enables and constrains women. Second, it requires seeing 'women' as a complex, impure category that bleeds across the apparently coherent borders of identity categories such as gender, race and nation, and contesting discursive constructs of 'Woman' as the pure space of origin upon which these apparently discrete categories stand. Third, it requires the development of alternative models of the self that take these complex, impure spaces as a valid and valorised position from which to act and to speak.

Sanders, Erin. "One night in Bangkok : Western women's interactions with sexualized spaces in Thailand." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2011. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/12018/.

Full text
Abstract:
Key words: Thailand, sex tourism, sex industry, authenticity, voyeurism, tourist experience Research on sex tourism in Thailand has often focused on western men’s sexual interactions with local women (Cohen, 1982; Enloe, 1989; Brown, 2001), and the sexualized entertainment on offer in eroticized tourist spaces/places is assumed to be aimed at western male tourists (Manderson, 1992; Bowes, 2004). While a number of academics have studied sexualized spaces and venues, little has been written on how and to what extent western women engage with this type of touristic entertainment in the Thai (sex tourism) context (Odzer, 1994; Manderson, 1995; Sikes, 2006). This is despite the fact that the number of female tourists visiting Thailand has increased over the past decade (TAT, 2007), and some evidence suggests that the sex industry in Thailand caters for female tourists (Vorakitphokatorn et al, 1994; Williams et al, 2007). This thesis will argue that western women are curious about the nature of the Thai sex industry, and that some tourist women seek to visually explore sexualized tourist areas as part of their ‘tourist experience’ in Thailand. Sex tourism is a contentious subject area, and investigating the extent to which western women might engage with the sex industry as part of their tourist experience necessitates a critical engagement with theoretical understandings of female sex tourism. The findings suggest that western women’s desire for an authentic tourist experience in Thailand facilitates their entry into sexualized zones. While the history of the sex industry in Thailand has helped to popularize its notoriety, discourses on tourist-oriented sexual spaces suggest that visiting a sexual show is something that is ‘ok’, and further is part of ‘real Thailand’. However, women’s visual engagement with the Others who inhabit these spaces reveals a darker side,and perhaps a voyeuristic desire to visit these venues. While part of their motivation to consume the sex industry stems from their understanding of the sex industry as authentically Thai, their contradictory interpretations of Thai sex workers reveals a darker, more complicated picture. This thesis will examine the lines that divide tourism from sex tourism practices to suggest that consuming difference and the desire to engage with exotic (and erotic) Others underpins all touristic engagements, including tourist interactions with the sex industry. Visual sex tourism practices will be outlined here, and current definitions of sex tourism will be deconstructed to reveal a more complicated picture of tourism/sex tourism practices, which calls for a closer examination of gendered tourism behaviors.

Bibliography: pages 204-228.
Historically Muslim women have been marginalised in the examination of Islamic texts and Muslim society. This has resulted in the non-recognition and silencing of women's perspectives as well as the concealment of some of the traumatic realities experienced by groups of Muslim women. Exacerbated by pervading social and religious notions of "private" families, the incidence of wife battery within Muslim societies have been largely hidden violence against wives is seen as the manifestation of a sexist and patriarchal ideology. This study examines the manner in which Islamic gender discourses inform and impact upon the phenomenon of violence against women. The related tensions between patriarchal and egalitarian Islamic perspectives are explored. This study involves a two-fold feminist analysis of gender ideology in religious texts and contemporary Muslim society. At the level of textual studies, I applied a feminist hermeneutic to medieval and contemporary Qur'anic exegetical literature. The examination of medieval period focused on the exegesis of Abu Jafar Muhumammad b. Jarir al-Tabari (839-922), Abu al-Qasim Mahmud b. Umar Zamakshari (1075-1144), Fakhr al-Din al-Razi (1149- 1210). The study of contemporary exegetical literature concentrated on the approaches and exegeses of Fazlur Rahman and Amina Wadud-Muhsin. Hermeneutical debates on violence against wives were focused on the interpretations of the Qur'anic notion of female nushuz (Q.4:34). In examining contemporary Muslim society, I employed feminist qualitative research methodology. I interviewed a number of women from a South African Muslim community in the Western Cape. Here, the sample consisted of eight women with whom open-ended in-depth interviews were conducted. The interviews were transcribed and thematically analysed. I found that interweaving levels of religious symbols and discourses shaped normative understandings of gender relations. This in turn had implications for both structural and practical discourses of violence against women in Muslim societies. Islamic gender ideology spanned the continuum from patriarchal to feminist approaches. Misogynist religious understandings reinforced the husband's right to control and coerce his wife, even if this implied the use of force. On the other hand, egalitarian Islamic perspectives prioritised the Qur'anic ethics of equality and social justice and rejected the violation of women. I argue that Islam provides numerous resources for the pro-active empowerment of women and the promotion of the full humanity of women.

Abstract:
This was an exploratory study of 243 MFTs in the states of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. A majority (66%) reported that they had been in therapy at some time during their careers. The purposes of this research were to (a) find out how therapists effectively and ethically cope with stress, (b) find out more about the therapists who do not utilize therapy, and (c) find out what barriers therapists face in seeking therapy when they do need or desire it. Effective coping strategies for stress included religious activities, exercise, and spending time with family and friends. Characteristics associated with not having been to therapy were being male, in a first marriage, Latter-day Saint, working in a for-profit agency with inpatient clients, licensed in Utah, and having at least three children. The most common barriers to seeking therapy were "I can handle my own problem(s) effectively enough without therapy" and "My problem(s) is/are not significant enough."

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Marriage enrichment was developed to equip couples with the necessary skills and knowledge to help them achieve a happy marriage. It is successful with respect to the improvement of the marriage relationship and the encouragement of marital satisfaction. The marriage enrichment programmes that were developed up till now, were developed for the use of residents of First World countries. The goal of this study was to identify farm workers’ experience of marriage and their needs with respect to marriage, in order to make recommendations with regard to elements that could be included in a marriage enrichment programme for farm workers. A qualitative research design was used, as semi-structured interviews with the help of an interview schedule were conducted with thirteen farm workers who live and work on two farms in different geographical areas around Stellenbosch. Information was gathered by separately interviewing marriage partners, in order to ensure that conversations were not influenced by the presence of the marriage partner. Participants not only consisted of legally married couples, but also couples who were involved in a long-term relationship. The literature study focused on the circumstances of farm workers in the Western Cape. It also focused on theories underpinning current marriage enrichment programmes, and discussed and described the content of selected current marriage enrichment programmes. General challenges facing couples and which are typically included in marriage enrichment programmes were also discussed. Three themes emerged during findings and conclusions of the study. These include various sub-themes arising from the alcohol abuse of farm workers, and distinctive qualities of happy and unhappy couples. Recommendations were made with regard to these themes, while the theories on which current marriage enrichment programmes were based, as well as its exercises and elements were kept in mind.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Huweliksverryking is ontwikkel om egpare met die nodige kennis en vaardighede toe te rus ter bereiking van ‘n gelukkige huwelik. Dit is doeltreffend ten opsigte van die verbetering van die huweliksverhouding en die bevordering van huwelikstevredenheid. Die huweliksverrykings-programme wat egter wel ontwikkel is, is vir die gebruik van inwoners van Eerste Wêreld-lande ontwikkel. Die doel van hierdie studie was om plaaswerkers se ervaring van die huwelik en hul behoeftes ten opsigte van die huwelik te identifiseer, sodat aanbevelings gemaak kan word ten opsigte van elemente wat ingesluit kan word in ‘n huweliksverrykingsprogram vir plaaswerkers. ‘n Kwalitatiewe navorsingsontwerp is benut, aangesien semi-geskeduleerde onderhoude aan die hand van ‘n onderhoudskedule gevoer is met dertien plaaswerkers wat woon en werk op twee plase in verskillende geografiese areas buite Stellenbosch. Onderhoude met huweliksmaats het apart van mekaar plaasgevind, om te verseker dat gesprekke nie deur die teenwoordigheid van die huweliksmaat beïnvloed kon word nie. Deelnemers het nie net bestaan uit wettiglik getroude egpare nie, maar ook paartjies wat in ‘n langtermynverhouding betrokke is. Die literatuurstudie het gefokus op die omstandighede van Wes-Kaapse plaaswerkers. Dit het ook gefokus op teorieë waarop bestaande huweliksverrykingsprogramme gebaseer is, en het verskeie geselekteerde bestaande huweliksverrykingsprogramme se inhoud bepaal en omskryf. Algemene uitdagings waarmee egpare te doen kry, en wat tipies in huweliksverrykingsprogramme bespreek word, is ook bespreek. Tydens bevindinge en gevolgtrekkings van die studie het drie temas na vore gekom. Dit sluit in verskeie sub-temas ten opsigte van alkoholmisbruik tussen plaaswerkers en die onderskeie eienskappe van gelukkige en ongelukkige egpare. Die aanbevelings is ten opsigte van hierdie temas gemaak, met inagneming van bestaande huweliksverrykingsprogramme se elemente, oefeninge en die teorieë waarop dit gebaseer is.

Patel, Reena. "Labour and land rights of women in rural India : with particular reference to Western Orissa." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1999. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/4010/.

Full text
Abstract:
Hindu women's right to independent ownership of property has been established in India since 1956. Given that legal rights have not brought about a significant increase in women's ownership of land, this thesis explores the factors that affect women's effective claim to land ownership. Taking the particular case of Hindu peasant women in small farming households in Western Orissa, it analyses their ability to claim land ownership as the outcome of bargaining. The bargaining approach, as developed by economists, and by Amartya Sen and Bina Agarwal in particular, is adopted to analyse women's access to land as an effect of women's perceptions of self-interest and perceptions of women's contribution. The thesis evaluates the legal framework as it incorporates and reflects these perceptions. It argues that law constructs women's claim to land as a right addressed to 'Hindu' women, located within the family (through succession) and informed by religious ideology. It further argues that recognising women's interests as a basis of their claim to land ownership, as 'peasant' women, located within the household and affected by their work and role within agricultural production, would widen the scope of legal analysis. This would be a starting point towards a deeper understanding of the ways in which law impacts upon women's access to land.

Abstract:
This study critically analyses an assumption that Ghanaian marriages, while in Britain, become difficult and that many do not survive. This is blamed on, the Impact of Britain's Western culture. Many migrant marriages apparently endure stressful deterioration that often leads to separation, abusive loveless co-habiting and sometimes divorce whilst resident in Britain. It consequently evaluates and discusses some practical issues facing Pastoral Ministry and counselling concerns of marital relationships especially of the Ghanaian Adventist migrants. It also discusses participant views on the Ghanaian migrant Seventh-day Adventist Churches' leadership approach and their implication on members' marriages including ethical issues regarding offenders' active participation in the church. This research was limited to a cross-section of the Ghanaian Seventh-day Adventist Christians in Britain for manageability and focus. It is anticipated that patterns found could be repeatable where Ghanaians are found elsewhere in the Western civilisation. This project objectively explored the above assumption to question, investigate and determine possible causative factors to help move from assumption to referable data and thereby inform and improve pastoral care ministries. The study concludes that Ghanaian Adventist Christian Migrant marriages actually endure occasional multifaceted destructive problems of unrealistic expectations from a community of relatives, friends, in -laws and the church as well as the couples themselves.

Abstract:
AbstractThe question of the unity of the family models in the Mediterranean has been the subject of much debate in the field of generations history. Some researchers have put forward the much disputed hypothesis of a past unity in the Mediterranean area in relation to marriage and the family. In modern times, however, we are dealing with very heterogeneous situations in this area. A priori, the populations on the different shores of the Mediterranean do not have much in common, with diversified Western family models on one side, and a very specific Arab-Muslim family model on the other. Although different on both sides of the Mediterranean, family models have nevertheless undergone profound changes over the last 70 years: some discuss a “marriage revolution” for the populations of the Southern and Eastern shores, others a second demographic transition in the European countries. In the same way that researchers envisage a convergence of family models in the world towards the Western family model could there be a convergence of Mediterranean family models due to these contemporary family changes? Without directly answering this question, this chapter will attempt to provide some food for thought. Therefore, among the many possible elements for analysing family models, we decided to focus on the formation and dissolution of marriages. We will present the evolution of demographic indicators relating to these two phenomena, starting with marriage and divorce rates, followed by indicators relating to age at marriage and the significance of permanent celibacy. Unlike, the other demographic phenomena, we were unable to use the large international databases to study all the Mediterranean countries since 1950 for these family formation and dissolution related topics. We had to instead collate data from different data providers to create long series.

Abstract:
The article analyses the historical literature on the anti-alcohol campaign of 1985–1988 in Russian regions. It is concluded that some of the works do not consider the impact of the campaign on demographic changes, while the reduction in the volume of sales and consumption of alcoholic beverages, a decrease in the number of alcoholics, alcoholic psychosis, fight against bootlegging, alcoholic crimes are examined in detail. A decrease in mortality, an increase in the birth rate, an increase in the life expectancy of the population in the context of the fight against alcoholism are touched upon only in a number of studies (for example, in materials from Western Siberia, Udmurtia, Bashkiria). The problem is most studied in the Udmurt Republic, where the influence of the campaign on marriage and divorce was also considered. Additionally, in Udmurtia, the ethnic component of the influence of the anti-alcohol campaign on demographic processes was analysed. Therefore, it was concluded that the greatest reduction in mortality occurred among the Udmurts living in rural areas.

Abstract:
Тринадцати годам единоличной власти (324–337 гг.) императора Константина Великого предшествовал период борьбы с многочисленными претендентами. В 311–312 гг. Константин вступил в союз с императором Лицинием, который контролировал Подунавье и Фракию. Союз был подкреплен женитьбой Лициния на сестре Константина. Договор позволил Константину сосредоточиться на установлении контроля над западной частью империи, а Лицинию – над восточной. Несмотря на декларируемое официальными источниками информации (монетные легенды, надписи) единство императоров, взаимоотношения их были куда сложнее. Претендуя на единоличную власть, Константин опробовал определенные идеологические установки. К примеру, родственная связь позволила Константину рассматривать и самого Лициния, и его детей как членов своего дома. Кроме того, контроль Константина над Римом и сенатом позволял ему объявлять консулов и контролировать провинцию Азия, которая управлялась проконсулом. Кроме того, Константин претендовал на статус senior Augustus, который давал ему единоличное право возводить в императорское достоинство. Декларируя это право и обозначив кандидатуру возможного императора (еще одного своего зятя, Бассиана), Константин вынудил Лициния на открытый конфликт. Итогом этого противостояния стала неполная победа Константина: Лициний не был низложен, но отказался от ряда территорий и признал право своего соправителя на императорскую инвеституру. Таким образом, несмотря на отсутствие открытого конфликта, период 311–316 гг. являет любопытный пример дипломатического и идейного противостояния двух римских императоров, готовящихся к столкновению. Thirteen years of Constantine’s the Great sole power (324–337 AD) was preceded by a period of a struggle with numerous claimants. In 311–312 AD Constantine entered into an alliance with the emperor Licinius, who controlled the Danube border and Thrace. The alliance was reinforced by the marriage of Licinius to Constantine's sister. The treaty allowed Constantine to focus on establishing control over the western part of the empire, and Licinius did the same over the eastern one. Despite the unity of the emperors declared by official sources of information (coins, inscriptions), their relationship was much more complicated. Claiming sole power, Constantine tested certain ideological attitudes. For example, kinship allowed Constantine to consider both Licinius himself and his children as members of his house. In addition, Constantine's control of Rome and the Senate allowed him to appoint consuls and control the province of Asia, ruled by a proconsul. In addition, Constantine claimed the status of senior Augustus, which gave him the sole right to raise to imperial dignity. Designating the candidacy of a possible co-emperor (another brother-in-law, Bassianus), Constantine forced Licinius into an open conflict. The result of this confrontation was the incomplete victory of Constantine: Licinius was not deposed, but had to renounce a number of territories and recognize the right of his co-ruler to imperial investiture. Thus, despite the absence of open conflict, the period 311–316 AD is a curious example of a diplomatic and ideological confrontation between two emperors preparing for a clash.

Abstract:
Like the rest of Central Europe, Slovakia has been a multicultural and multilingual society for centuries. Although Slovak is recognized as the official language, there are many other languages spoken in the country. Due to historical reasons, the largest minority communities are Hungarian, Roma, Czech and Rusyn, but the number of bilingual and multilingual speakers varies according to the region, with the highest concentration in Western and Eastern Slovakia. In contemporary Slovakia, bilingualism and multilingualism also results from international migration, globalization or mixed marriages. In this environment children are often exposed to more than one language and experiencing or acquiring another language(s) becomes natural part of their socialization. This paper provides an overview of the linguistic situation and sociolinguistic context of bilingualism and multilingualism as a common phenomenon in the territory of Slovakia and presents the most recent studies in bilingual and multilingual competence in children. Our research focuses mainly on the questions of language differentiation, code-switching, code-mixing, and natural interpreting skills. A few examples of short dialogues are provided to illustrate the features of bilingual communication. The findings are based on the error analysis of spontaneous and elicited production of language and the outcomes of experimental tests carried out in form of a number of individual case studies of children in Slovakia.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: Efficacy of Acupuncture for ovulatory disorder infertility: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of randomized controlled trials. Condition being studied: Those who do not have contraception after marriage, have a normal sexual life, and cohabitation for 1 year without pregnancy are called infertility, and those who have no history of pregnancy are called primary infertility. Those with a history of previous pregnancy are called secondary infertility. Infertility is a global reproductive health problem that affects about 10% of married women. Ovulatory infertility ranked second only to fallopian tube abnormalities in the proportion of all infertility, accounting for 25%-30%. Ovulation induction drugs are commonly used in western medicine, but long-term use often causes side effects such as follicular hyperstimulation. Modern clinical studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture have good effects on follicle development and ovulation induction, with few side effects. This article systematically reviews the clinical efficacy of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of ovulatory infertility by searching the clinical research literature and conducting Meta-analysis, so as to provide an evidence-based basis for clinical decision-making.

Abstract:
The Population Council initiated its work on adolescents in the mid-1990s. At that time, those advocating greater attention to adolescent issues were concerned about adolescent fertility—particularly outside of marriage—and adolescent “risk-taking” behavior. As an international scientific organization with its mandate centered around the needs of developing countries, the Council sought a more nuanced and context-specific understanding of the problems confronting adolescents in the developing world. In working with colleagues inside and outside the Council, it became clear that information on adolescents, and the way data are organized, were limiting the ability to understand the diversity of their experiences or to develop programs to address that diversity. In the absence of data, many adolescent policies were implicitly based on the premise that the lives of adolescents in developing countries were like those of adolescents in Western countries. In fact, significant numbers of young people in the West do not fit this description, and even larger groups within the developing countries. The Council created tables to more clearly describe the diversity of the adolescent experience by drawing on Jordan Demographic and Health Survey data. The tables, presented in this report, are intended to be used as a basis for developing programs.
