Understanding the Family Perspective on the Storage, Sharing and Handling of Family Civic Data

My uncle, Alan Turing, was not a well-dressed man. It is a tribute to those who employed him that he was able to flourish in environments that ignored his refusal to comply with social norms as much as he disregarded mindless social conventions. Social conventions, however, became an increasingly powerful influence over his life. Here I retell the story from the family perspective. There is an old photograph in the family album that shows Alan in his last years at Sherborne (Fig. 2.1). It was taken in June 1930—a few months after his friend Christopher Morcom’s death—and Alan looks relaxed and happy. But his trousers are a complete disgrace. It is not clear who took the picture, but the timing suggests that it was done at Commemoration, the annual festival at Sherborne to which parents and dignitaries are invited, and where boys, particularly senior boys, should be smartly turned-out. Ordinarily, Alan’s mother (my grandmother) would have intervened and spruced him up. But given that Alan was, like other boarding-school boys, responsible for his own clothes, she probably had no control over him any more, if indeed she ever had done. My grandmother had had little direct control over Alan during his formative years. My grandfather was serving the Empire in India, and she, as a good memsahib, was expected to be with him to run his household. (From the distance of a century or so, this seems a waste of talent, for my grandmother had a formidable intellect as well as many other gifts, and in a later age would probably have become a scientist of distinction.) So Alan was deposited in England with foster parents in St Leonards-on-Sea, and at nine years of age was sent off to a prep school called Hazelhurst, near Frant in Sussex. School seems to have been a reasonably good experience for him—at least in his first term. There was the incident of the geography test. At that time my father, being four years older than Alan, was in the top form while Alan was in the bottom one. The whole school was made to do a geography test. Turing 1 (my father) got 59 marks and Turing 2 (Alan) got 77; my father considered this a thoroughly bad show.

The current study aimed at determining the Jordanian families’ degree of acceptance of having a hysterectomy performed on their daughters with intellectual disabilities (ID). It also aimed to study the differences based on the age of the girl with intellectual Disability, the type of the Intellectual disability of the girl, the severity level of disability, the gender of surveyed parent, the level of education of surveyed parent, and the level of monthly income of the family. The participants of the study were (329) parents of girls with intellectual disabilities. Each one of the participant completed a questionnaire consisted of (21) items. The study concluded that the overall participants’ degree of acceptance of having a hysterectomy performed on their daughters with intellectual disabilities was low. The findings indicated that the families who had disabled daughters between the ages of 11-20 years had higher degree of acceptance of having their daughters undergo hysterectomy than the families who had disabled daughters between the ages of 5 - 10 years or even the ages of 21-30 years. The results showed that the families did not differ in their degree of acceptance of having a hysterectomy performed on their daughters with intellectual disabilities based on their daughters’ type of disability. The results showed that the families who had daughters with severe or profound disability had higher degree of acceptance of having their daughters undergo hysterectomy than participants who had daughters with mild or moderate disability.The results showed that the degree of acceptance of the mothers of girls with intellectual disabilities to perform hysterectomy on them was higher than the degree of acceptance of the fathers of girls with intellectual disabilities. The results showed that the participant parents (either mother or father in each family) who had no education had higher degree of acceptance of having their daughters undergo hysterectomy than the participant parents who had different levels of education. The results also showed that the families who had higher income had a higher degree of acceptance of having their daughters undergo hysterectomy than the families who had less income.

The Family

This article shows that a family perspective is especially important for the analysis of female migration because: (1) women are major participants in “family migration” as defined by governments and, although they benefit from family reunification provisions, they are also constrained by them; (2) migrant women are important economic actors and their participation in economic activity is closely related to the needs of their families, so that the choices that migrant women make regarding work cannot be understood without taking into account the situation of their families and women's roles within them; (3) women are increasingly becoming migrant workers in order to improve the economic status of their families; and (4) women rely on their families to provide various types of support that both make migration possible and condition its outcome. A review of the literature provides evidence supporting each of these observations.

The costliest 5% of the population (identified as the “high-cost” population) accounts for 50% of healthcare spending. Understanding the high-cost population in rural China from the family perspective is essential for health insurers, governments, and families. Using the health insurance database, we tallied 202,482 families that generated medical expenditure in 2014. The Lorentz curve and the Gini coefficient were adopted to describe the medical expenditure clustering, and a logistic regression model was used to identify the determinants of high-cost families. Household medical expenditure showed an extremely uneven distribution, with a Gini coefficient of 0.76. High-cost families spent 54.0% of the total expenditure. The values for family size, average age, and distance from and arrival time to the county hospital of high-cost families were 4.05, 43.18 years, 29.67 km, and 45.09 min, respectively, which differed from the values of the remaining families (3.68, 42.46 years, 30.47 km, and 46.29 min, respectively). More high-cost families live in towns with low-capacity township hospitals and better traffic conditions than the remaining families (28.98% vs. 12.99%, and 71.19% vs. 69.6%, respectively). The logistic regression model indicated that family size, average age, children, time to county hospital, capacity of township hospital, traffic conditions, economic status, healthcare utilizations, and the utilization level were associated with high household medical expenditure. Primary care and health insurance policy should be improved to guide the behaviors of rural residents, reduce their economic burden, and minimize healthcare spending.

In this article, we examine the responses of family companies to the emerging environment of mergers and acquisitions, specifically within the international wine industry. At issue is the question of how the family perspective influences responses of a family firm to the prospect of merger or takeover. We examine the issue through a case study of the takeover of an Australian wine producer and family firm, Peter Lehmann Wines. The case study demonstrates ways in which the family perspective is critical in driving responses, for example, in the strength and forms of opposition to one of the potential acquirers in the case, indicating just how important the preservation of a family legacy was to key family members. However, the case also illustrates how in a takeover fight the dynamics of the takeover process itself become important in determining outcomes. In addition, the case demonstrates that family involvement and influence can be maintained in spite of takeover.

State Educational

In family that plays an important role in shaping the child's personality is the parent. The personality is obtained through the educational process taught by his parents. First and foremost educators for children in the family are parents because it is from them that the child first gets an education. In essence, education in the family occurs implicitly, starting with communication between family members and the daily behavior of their parents. In addition to good communication, the behavior of both parents also participate in the formation of children’s morals. Because the family is the first and primary madrasa for a child. In general, in a family environment, religious values are instilled in children to shape their behavior. Therefore, religious education in the family environment is needed to find out which boundaries are good and bad in children's daily lives. In Islam it is taught to protect the family (or children) from ignorance, even it is highly recommended not to leave the family in a weak state (educational and economic). As explained in the Qur’an surah an-Nisa’ verse 9. This paper will discuss education in the family perspective of surah an-Nisa’ verse 9. This is important to discuss to avoid the birth of a generation of the weak, both weak in education and economically. With an education in the family, it is expected to form a strong generation is facing the challenges of the times ahead.

<p>This study focused on a lately constructed survey instrument that was intended to test the family perspective on a home visiting program and school. The four areas investigated were parent-teacher communications, student-teacher interactions, the parent’s perception of the school and the parents’ understanding of the home visiting program. The participants were selected from parents/guardians of 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th grade students at a Charter school in a southwestern major city in Texas, the United States of America. Twenty-two questions were asked to evaluate parent’s viewpoint with the four designated areas of interaction and communication of among school-parent-teacher. The findings showed that 73.5% of the students’ families living were in low income. The outcomes for reliability were promising (a = .909). Yet, the factor analysis outcomes of a rotated four-factor solution were insufficient to assess validity. This might be related to a small sample size (n = 45).</p>

The purpose of this research is to describe women's gender insight from a family perspective through the characterization structure in Fira Basuki's novel Atap. This research uses descriptive qualitative research methods, solving problems in a study by describing or interpreting objects in the form of social phenomena or events that are revealed through expressions. Through this research, researchers can describe data from the object of research related to aspects of women's gender insight from a family perspective through the characterization structure in Fira Basuki's novel Atap. These aspects consist of aspects of socio-cultural change through the family and aspects of violence in the family from a feminist point of view. The source of data in this reseaech is the novel Atap by Fira Basuki. The data in this research were obtained from words, sentences, or expressions contained in the novel which refer to aspects of socio-cultural change through the family and aspects of family violence from a feminist point of view. The results showed that in socio-cultural changes through the family, it was found that there was still a gender bias towards justice that was obtained by women. Gender bias is also found in the female characters Kunti, Jane and Mak Umah as a result of violence in the family from a feminist point of view. Based on the problems that arise in socio-cultural relations through the family, it should be addressed wisely and directed in the form of protection. For example, legal protection is made and the public understands the existing forms of legal protection.
