There was now a distinct manifestation of morning in the air, and presently the bleared white visage of a sunless winter day emerged like a dead-born child. The woodlanders everywhere had already bestirred themselves, rising this month of the year at the far less...

The article is devoted complex research of problem of defence of rights for children, bear as a result of application of auxiliary genesial technology – substitute maternity. In research the basic conceptual going is described near determination of origin of bear by a substitute a mother child, the problem of absence of the legislative adjusting of legal status of embryo of man is set, conceived in-vitro and the ways of its decision are offered. Attention is accented on the ambiguousness of the legal adjusting of the phenomenon of substitute maternity in the world. In research the possible risks of unhonesty of medical establishments which give services in auxiliary genesial technologies, and consequences of errors of doctors-reproduktologists, are analysed as subsequent limitation of rights for a child by a foreign country on the example of case of «Paradizo and Kampanelli v. Italy». Pointlessness of the legislative fixing of term, during which a substitute mother must give a consent to registration of persons the parents of child, is set, taking into account possible manipulations from the side of substitute mother and potential loss by the new-born child of parents in the case of death of substitute mother to signing of the proper consent. In research the role of the Ukrainian national courts is analysed in establishment of legal fact of domestic relations between parents and new-born child for confession of state power of birth certificates, given out the Ukrainian organs of state civil registration foreign organs. Concentrated attention on absence of permanent practice of national courts in relation to determination of type of judicial realization as in certain cases a court specifies on the substitution of concepts «establishment of legal fact of domestic relations» and «confession of paternity declarants». As a result of research a conclusion is done about the necessity of development of international convention, which will fasten the standards of defence of rights for children, bear as a result of application of auxiliary genesial technologies, and also outlined tasks which appear before a national legislator and Ukrainian courts, to provide the high-quality legal adjusting of substitute maternity, taking into account rights for a child above all things.

Abstract If globalisation has led to a greater mobility of people specific issues have emerged with the current coronavirus pandemic. Consequently, extreme measures have been taken worldwide to flatten the curb of the virus. From lockdowns to several levels of isolation these measures have worked undoubtedly for some situations. Nonetheless, these same measures have sown chaos in other situations. One good example is surrogacy especially when this practice is undergone overseas, revealing the legal insecurity of the use of surrogacy whether for the intended parents, the surrogate born child or the surrogate mother for whom the risks have heightened.

A longitudinal, micro-level study of the effect of socioeconomic transformations on fertility mechanisms in the rural hinterland of Bologna between 1818 and 1900 (the beginning of the demographic transition) demonstrates that the premature death of a last-born child reduces the interval between two consecutive childbirths. Thus does it confirm the importance of breast-feeding in determining birth spacing. Women living in complex sharecropping households experienced a significantly higher risk of childbirth than did women in families headed by daily wage earners. In addition, the reproductive behavior of sharecroppers seemed to be substantially invariant to short-term fluctuations in prices, whereas the laborers' group experienced a negative price effect. Both descriptive and multivariate analyses indicate a slight and gradual decrease in fertility levels during the period in question.

Nicholas Culpeper (1616-1654) is the author of the first medical book published in the British North American colonies.1 The book, published in Boston in 1708, more than 50 years after the author's death, and titled The English Physician, is a small (approximately 3 x 5 inches) publication of only 94 pages, meant for the lay reader, and contains some of the author's "Choicest Secrets in the Art of Physick."2 Some of Culpeper's prescriptions under Children's Infirmities are these: To prevent the Falling Sickness, and Convulsions Take of red Coral in powder 10 Grains, give it in Breast milk to a new Born Child, for the first Food it takes after its Birth. It mightly strengthens the Brain. To make them Teeth easily Take pure Capons Grease well clarified, as much as a Nutmeg, twice as much Honey, then mix them together three or four times in a day anoint the Gums when they are teething. Against Agues and Fevers, coming by pain in breeding of Teeth, or otherwise. Take one spoonful of Ungent Populeon, two spoonfuls of Oyl of Roses, mix them, then before the Fire anoint the Childs bowing places of his Arms, Legs, soles of its Feet, Fore-head and Temples, twice a Day, Chasing it well with a warm Hand. Against the Worms Take Myrrh and Aloes of each alike, finely powdered; and with a few drops of Chymical Oyl of Wormwood, or Savin, with a little Turpentine, mix them, and make them up for a Plaister for the Childs Navel.

Abstract Background Birth order has been shown to affect the health of the child; less is known, however, about how birth order affects caries development in children. Thus, the present study investigated the association between birth order and dental caries development in young children. Methods This retrospective registry-based cohort study included all children born in 2000–2003 who were residing in Stockholm County, Sweden, at age 3 years (n = 83,147). The study followed the cohort until subjects reached 7 years of age. Children with registry data on dental examinations and sociodemographic characteristics at ages 3- and 7 years constituted the final study cohort (n = 65,259). The outcome variable was “caries increment from age 3- to 7 years” (Δdeft > 0) and the key exposure, “birth order”, was divided into five groups. A forward stepwise logistic binary regression was done for the multivariate analysis with adjustments for sociodemographic factors. Results At age 3 years, 94% had no fillings or manifest caries lesions. During the study period, 22.5% (n = 14,711) developed dental caries. The final logistic regression analysis found a statistically significant positive association between birth order and caries increment. Further, excess risk increased with higher birth order; with the mother’s first-born child as reference, risk for the second-born child was OR 1.17, 95% CI = 1.12–1.23; for the third-born child, OR 1.47, 95% CI = 1.38–1.56; for the fourth-born child, OR 1.69, 95% CI = 1.52–1.88; and for the fifth-born or higher birth-order child, OR 1.84, 95% CI = 1.58–2.14. Conclusions These findings show that birth order influences caries development in siblings, suggesting that birth order can be regarded as a predictor for caries development in young children. This factor may be helpful in assessing caries risk in preschool children and should be considered in caries prevention work in young children with older siblings.

THIS -- paper seeks to reveal the meaning of tradition in the Muslim’s ritual in Sumenep Madura which is understood as a local or popular ritual, associated with the determination of the calendar in Islam. This ritual, when expressed and understood in practice, is always based on the popularization of calendar names in local-based Islam with certain insights and meanings. With this deductive-inductive explorative approach, this paper explain to three popular ritual praxis of the Sumenep Madurese. Firstly, the practice of the death ritual that was intended as a repentance to God for self and “al-marhum”, ties the brotherhood, and effective for Islamic preaching. Secondly, the ritual practice of “Peret Kandung” is a ritual of the first pregnancy for husband and wife entering the seventh month which is meant as a symbol of purification, so that the born child will survive and truly become sholeh child who boast of parents. Third, “sonat ritual” is a continuation of initiation ritual in Sumenep only for boys which is meant as a ritual as well as da'wah media for islamization.

Dr. Karl Schaffer, of Budapest, gives the results of his examination of the brains of three general paralytics. His paper is illustrated with five lithographs, showing sections of brain stained by Weigerts-Wolter's method. The degenerated parts take on the stain poorly. Schaffer finds the most degenerated parts in general paralysis to be the anterior and basal portions of the frontal lobes, the whole parietal lobes, the posterior median convolutions, the insula, and the temporal gyri, and the occipital lobes and the upper surface of the cerebellum. Less affected were the anterior median gyrus, the margins of the calcarine fissure, and the inferior occipito-gyri. This showed that degenerative process most affected the association centres of Flechsig, his sensory spheres being very much less touched. Schaffer holds that the degeneration of the cortex in general paralysis is not haphazard but selective. He upholds Flechsig's views, and considers that they have been confirmed by the recent researches of Ramon y Cajal, who has made an original study of the nerve-tissues in the foetus and in the newly-born child. The latter describes a specific plexus of centripetal nerve-fibres, which terminate in the motor area of the cortex, in the sphere of bodily sensibility, and in the visual area. It is significant that this plexus does not pass into Flechsig's association centres, confirming Schaffer's observation of the posterior median convolution being, in general paralysis, much more degenerated than the anterior. These considerations induce Schaffer to think that the posterior median gyrus belongs rather to the association centres than to the sensory areas.
