The article presents the results of the study of the conceptual sphere of the media space on the example of the concept “family”. This concept has a high communicative status, which is determined by the special influence of the family as a social institution on the mental space of Russia. The concept has a special meaning for the actualization of key cognitive national stereotypes, and it has axiological content. The analytical algorithm is based on the logic of analyzing the semantic structure of concepts and following the chronological principle of presenting empirical material, which is necessary in this case. It was supposed to rely on the interpretative method of research. The main conclusion: in modern mass media, the traditional semantic structure of the concept “family” meets serious opposition and is subject to rethinking when reformatting the evaluative periphery of the associative field of the concept, the figurative component of its semantic structure. The presented crisis changes are associated with the deactualization of the key axiological meanings of traditional culture, which for many centuries preserved the idea of ideal family relations as strictly repertory. The obvious conflict of the associative zone of the conceptual periphery testifies not so much to the intensity of modernization trends as to the sophistication of their manifestation, which needs to be investigated, since it can provoke a serious crisis of collective identity.

The family is the main social institution that carries out spiritual, cultural, personal, physiological development of the individual. Global changes in recent years have led to the emergence of a family crisis, which has an impact on the institution of the family, family and marriage relations and causes public concern. The transformation of the Kazakhstan Family Institute has contributed to the emergence of negative trends, in addition to traditional types of family relations. One of them is an increase in the number of single- parent families consisting of single mothers.

The Ideal

The article considers concepts of Moscow residents related to the issue of «ideal» family. The generalized character of the «ideal» family in view of respondents is presented as follows: complete family with two children living in their own apartment, family relationship is based on love, mutual assistance, support, mutual understanding, domestic duties are distributed fairly and taking into account «female» and «male» types of domestic life. Furthermore, both parents are working and devote their free time to children. At that, joint leisure is mostly organized as active rest (walks, travel, sports). The study established serious gap between factual characteristics of transformation of social institution of family at present stage (increasing numbers of divorces and single parenthood, leveling of family values, decreasing of numbers of children in family, wide range of problems of modern family) and perceptions by respondents of the «ideal» family as it is. It is noted that perception of respondents of the «ideal» family may indicate preservation of value of family as social (and vital) construct. This perception also may act as intentional sources of motivation and striving for achievement of the «ideal» of family relations.

This article focuses on the trends implying the creation and presentation of the image of a politician and his family in the media political discourse, as well as on their impact on shaping and maintaining an image status within predictive strategies of real action. The author defines the concept of the “personal brand” and offers an analysis of the degree of its dependence on the means of media presentation and self-presentation, as well as forecasting public authority. The goals of creating and promoting the politician’s image components, and its criteria in view of self-presentation are also identified here. Special attention is paid to the latest trends in the image representation related to Donald Trump and his family in public speeches in the media space. To this end, there has been an analysis carried out aimed at studying American Internet items about each of the family members of the US 45th President, which allows giving a clear idea of the development of a specific family image in the image of a political figure in the media, analyzing them, in order to intensify or compromise each of them, and describing the means by which the paradoxical effect of weakening the public authority in media discourse is achieved. The main method to discover the features of the family image influence degree on politician’s personal brand is discourse-analysis supplied with some techniques of linguocultural and social pragmatic linguistic modelling of communicative interaction. There is an identification of the degree to which the mass media influence the political image, and through it – the promotion of the politician’s personal brand and public authority. Based on the study outcomes, the author concludes that a politician’s image components depend on the degree of family relations accentuation within the concept-value space of the politician viewed as an individual, which is determined by the frequency and adequacy of media discursive means of intensification, whereas the personal brand, in turn, has a dominant impact on the politician’s public policies and credibility, as well as on his family image in the media. Given this dichotomous mutual effect, a positive or negative self-presentation of a political figure is performed.

Transformation Processes

The subject of this research is contradictory trends in transformation of the traditional Russian family into a family of modern type. The analysis of family transformation processes is conducted on the basis of the concept of familialism that puts family in the center of society, as well as on the basis of methodological foundations of the civilizational approach towards studying societal development. The perspective is substantiated that Russia as a separate civilization, with its own values and cultural foundations that differ fundamentally from the Western European civilization. It is demonstrated that the social institution of family is undergoing crisis in all civilized countries; but unlike an organic course of modernization in Western European, in Russia it is an inorganic modernization. The author explains the fatality of situation for the Russian family, when the external modernization processes contradict with the ethnic social archetype of the Russians. The article disputes the modernist concept of the transformation of family relations, which justifies the normality and naturalness of changes. It is underlined that modernization processes lead to the demise and extinction of family institution, which is disastrous for the society. The applied part of the article presents the results of the authorial research on determination of students’ stance on the family and family values; the respondents became the students of Siberian University of Consumer Cooperation in Novosibirsk. Student youth is the conveyors of traditional family values. On the verbal level, they translate tolerance and liberal values, and on the behavioral level are oriented towards family relations of traditional type. The recommendations are made on structuring the government policy in the sphere of family relations based on the foundation of Russian sociocultural values.

Family is a fundamentally social institution that plays an important role in the historic and ethnic development of any nation. There have been mechanisms for the transfer of plenty of elements exactly within the family for ages. There they appear and are formed, take root and change their forms, meaning, and content with time. They eventually smooth out and disappear. The situation concerns both social roles and their age and gender clarity that connects the family with bigger and more complicated forms of human integration, such as community and society which are dynamically interlinked. A research subject is a family in a Bulgarian diaspora group defined as an object of social history. The subject of study is the evolution of forms, structure, and Bulgarian family’s everyday elements in South Bessarabia, moreover, it’s about intergenerational interaction and family relations. The subject of social history is complicated for most researchers who have taken on this distinctive activity. Associating himself with the statements about the faintest subject of social history, R.Zider gave the most “ technical” version of the definition:” Social history is the history of society, the overall relationship between people”. R.Zider considered a family as a complex system that “summarizes the influence of society’s macro system and tasks to reproduce workforce and society’s structure; to create gender’s behavioral stereotypes, norms and relations between parents and children together with adults and old people; to regulate sexual behavior in pre-marital and marital periods”. At the family level this researcher addressed the issue of interrelationships between social, economic and political aspects. After the Bulgarians’ mass resettlement to South Bessarabia at the beginning of the XIX century, the foundation of Bulgarian families was a nuclear family, in other words, a family that consisted of a married couple with or without children. But speaking about a nuclear family, the fact it’s the strongest and the longest one among small groups that can be connected with bigger family or clan formations should be kept in mind. So such a family should be different from just small families that are self-sufficient and disconnected with great patrimony groups. In societies with a strong system of kinship, a nuclear family doesn’t appear as an isolated and defined unit. Under the effect of modernization processes large systems of kinship smooth out, a nuclear family separates from big disintegrating patrimony groups and takes features of a small family. The author makes a conclusion about the studied social system of Bulgarian family in South Bessarabia during the first half of XIX century and based on a great number of demographic ready-made indicators states that during two first decades the population kept social and behavioral models peculiar to Bulgaria in XlX century. But they were gradually getting closer to the demographic model of the European part of the Russian empire. As a result, in the middle of the century own demographic behavior was creating which united both models. Keywords: Bulgarian family, Bessarabian Bulgarians, social history, multidisciplinary approach, demographic indicators, a nuclear family.

According to the intergenerational solidarity model, family members who share similar values about family obligations should have a closer relationship and support each other more than families with a lower value consensus. The present study first describes similarities and differences between two family generations (mothers and daughters) with respect to their adherence to family values and, second, examines patterns of relations between intergenerational consensus on family values, affectual solidarity, and functional solidarity in a sample of 51 mother-daughter dyads comprising N = 102 participants from Luxembourgish and Portuguese immigrant families living in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Results showed a small generation gap in values of hierarchical gender roles, but an acculturation gap was found in Portuguese mother-daughter dyads regarding obligations toward the family. A higher mother-daughter value consensus was related to higher affectual solidarity of daughters toward their mothers but not vice versa. Whereas affection and value consensus both predicted support provided by daughters to their mothers, affection mediated the relationship between consensual solidarity and received maternal support. With regard to mothers, only affection predicted provided support for daughters, whereas mothers’ perception of received support from their daughters was predicted by value consensus and, in the case of Luxembourgish mothers, by affection toward daughters.

Violence against women (VAW) continues to exist as a pervasive, structural,systematic, and institutionalized violation of women’s basic human rights (UNDivision of Advancement for Women, 2006). It cuts across the boundaries of age, race, class, education, and religion which affect women of all ages and all backgrounds in every corner of the world. Such violence is used to control and subjugate women by instilling a sense of insecurity that keeps them “bound to the home, economically exploited and socially suppressed” (Mathu, 2008, p. 65). It is estimated that one out of every five women worldwide will be abused during her lifetime with rates reaching up to 70 percent in some countries (WHO, 2005). Whether this abuse is perpetrated by the state and its agents, by family members, or even by strangers, VAW is closely related to the regulation of sexuality in a gender specific (patriarchal) manner. This regulation is, on the one hand, maintained through the implementation of strict cultural, communal, and religious norms, and on the other hand, through particular legal measures that sustain these norms. Therefore, religious institutions, the media, the family/tribe, cultural networks, and the legal system continually disciplinewomen’s sexuality and punish those women (and in some instances men) who have transgressed or allegedly contravened the social boundaries of ‘appropriateness’ as delineated by each society. Such women/men may include lesbians/gays, women who appear ‘too masculine’ or men who appear ‘too feminine,’ women who try to exercise their rights freely or men who do not assert their rights as ‘real men’ should, women/men who have been sexually assaulted or raped, and women/men who challenge male/older male authority.

Abstract A gram-negative, orange-pigmented, non-flagellated, gliding, rod-shaped, and aerobic bacterium, designated strain F202Z8T, was isolated from a rusty iron plate found in the intertidal region of Taean, South Korea. Notably, this strain synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), and 17 putative genes responsible for the synthesis of AgNPs were found in its genome. The complete genome sequence of strain F202Z8T is 4,723,614 bp, with 43.26% G + C content. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain F202Z8T forms a distinct lineage with closely related genera Maribacter, Pelagihabitans, Pseudozobellia, Zobellia, Pricia, and Costertonia belonging to the family Flavobacteriaceae. The 16S rRNA sequence similarity was < 94.5%. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values calculated from the whole genome-sequence comparison between strain F202Z8T and other members of the family Flavobacteriaceae were in the ranges of 12.7–16.9% and 70.3–74.4%, respectively. Growth was observed at 15–33°C (optimally at 30°C), at pH 6.5–7.5 (optimally at pH 7.0), and with the addition of 2.5–4.5% (w/v) NaCl to the media (optimally at 4.0%). The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15: 0, iso-C15 :1 G, and iso-C17 :0 3-OH; the major respiratory quinone was MK-6. Polar lipids included phosphatidylethanolamine, five unidentified lipids, and two unidentified aminolipids. Our polyphasic taxonomic results suggested that this strain represents a novel species of a novel genus in the family Flavobacteriaceae, for which the name Aggregatimonas sangjinii gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Aggregatimonas sangjinii is F202Z8T (= KCCM 43411T = LMG 31494T).

Abstract This article examines the relationship between the Japanese American redress movement and the oral interviews of two Japanese immigrant women, known as Issei women. Focusing on the shared images of Issei women in the Japanese American community and the perspectives and self-representations of the interviewees in the oral interviews, it explores how cultural consensus produced stereotypical, collective images of Issei women as submissive, persevering, and quiet persons. As the redress movement progressed in the 1960s to the 1980s, the Japanese American community conducted oral history projects to preserve memories and legacies of their wartime experiences. There are dissimilarities between the original audio recordings and the published transcripts regarding the perspectives of Issei women. This article shows how the community’s desire to preserve idealized images of Issei men and women reduced the accuracy and nuances in the women’s self-representations and the complexities of family relations. Also, contrary to the collective images, Issei women demonstrated how they were independent, assertive, and open individuals expressing their perspectives, complicated emotions, and importance in the family.
