ON a previous occasion I posed a question: family relations mattered, or did they? I now intend to investigate in what way they mattered. It is a complex problem. In the middle ages men were reminded more frequently than now by the varied representation of the tale of Cain and Abel that family relations are not always easy; they could be supportive, cohesive, quarrelsome or murderous. So it is reasonable to ask: why the one rather than the other? Behind that there are other questions: when did the family matter and when not? Why did it matter when it did and why when not? A long established tradition in Anglo-Saxon scholarship has been concerned with the respective roles of kinship, lordship and local association. What can be said on the same topics for the post-Conquest period? For it is plain that there can be no secure conclusions about the family unless it is correctly located and properly embedded in the matrix of social and political relationships within which men lived their lives.

The dynamic variability of the modern world determines not only the need to adapt but also the ability to preserve and maintain the values of separate culture. Over the centuries, family is considered to be one of the core values. Family interaction with the society is undeniable. The family is the foundation of any society and the future of the state. Today's new socio-economic situation has an impact on the emotional atmosphere, quality and relationships within the family. Criminological research in family relationships is a complex problem, its environment and circumstances are an important factor in the individual's socialization. The role of the family is equally important both in the process of proper behavioural shaping and in the production of directed behaviour. The article provides an insight into the content of the studies of family criminology.The aim of the article is to describe the criminological framework of family relations based on special literature, research and practice showing the framework of family criminology. Theoretical guidelines, special literature, views and opinions of Latvian and foreign specialists have been analysed in order to assess the criminological aspects of the phenomenon.The author concludes that the knowledge of family criminology is useful, effective, concrete and practically feasible for the criminological studies of the family institute. This approach has a multi-sectoral nature.

Notions are potent but nebulous, often direct and determining in their effect but themselves indeterminate in origin and structure. My title is designed to circumvent two lines of thought which have largely circumscribed the study of inheritance in the eleventh and twelfth centuries hitherto. First, I shall say something here and there about succession, but it will be only a subsidiary part of the argument. Heritable title was not diminished by unsettled rules of succession. On the contrary, in the eleventh century as in the thirteenth, it was emphasised and nourished by the claims and counter-claims of competitors. In such disputes the opposing arguments were couched in a common language; it is the language, therefore, that will be my first concern. Second, for this same reason I shall also pay scant attention to the jurisdictional aspects of inheritance. To be sure, in post-Conquest England inheritance amounted not to a title but to a claim upon a lord; heritable title was realised when the lord admitted it; no concession by a tenant was as secure as it could be made until his lord had confirmed it.

Modern studies of ideas about the family reflect a contradiction: on the one hand, young people are guided by the values of individualism, freedom, and self-development, and on the other, they maintain the high value and desirability of the family. The use of methods of psychosemantics and metaphorical images in the study revealed the peculiarities of young people’s ideas about the family and revealed the “zones of psychological tension” in the sphere of family and family relations. In the semantics of ideas about the family, schoolchildren and students alike identified the priorities of boundaries and the understanding of the family as a closed location. In the minds of students, the cognitive and emotional aspects of ideas are more clearly differentiated, and the willingness to actively create their own family is reflected. Among young people with higher education and experience of marriage or cohabitation, negative connotations of family assessment prevail. The area of psychological stress in the family sphere: schoolchildren have a weak orientation in family relations, students have idealistic expectations, and older youth have numerous problems related to personality characteristics.

The paper describes some peculiarities in evolution of the State family politics and policies in Russia since the beginning of the XX century to present time. The aim of the paper is to shed light on the family state policy in Russia during the different periods of time. We define here the family state policy widely enough as the various state activity (ideological, legislative, economic, social) concerning institute of family. The analysis of the state measures concerning the family in different social and political contexts allowed us to allocate the five main stages and models of the family state policy in Russia. They are: the post-revolutionary model (1917-1926), the «Stalin» model (1927-1953), the "welfare" Soviet model (1954-1991), the yearly post- Soviet model (1991-2005), the modern model (since 2006). The paper is based on the some demographic and sociological surveys data and devoted to an analysis of the family changes in these various periods. On the one hand, the family policies were a reaction to new social requirements and demographic changes (decline of fertility, for example). On the other hand, the state activity concerning a family itself caused transitions in the family institute. We show how various measures of soviet and post-soviet family policies and public interventions in family life have influenced on the family relations.

In this study, on the basis of the documents preserved in the Archives of Dubrovnik, the author has described the activities of the family Alberto (Bono) in Dubrovnik, in the Serbian lands and Venice at the end of the 14th and during the first half of the 15th century. The founder of the family was ser Alberto Bono, chancellor by vocation. He came to Dubrovnik from Venice in 1388 and worked as a clerk in the city municipality until the end of his life (1407). However, his sons and a grandson were engaged in intermediary commerce, connecting the lands in the hinterlands of Dubrovnik, Serbia and Bosnia, with the Mediterranean. Thanks to the commerce of precious metals from the Serbian lands, the family became very rich and outstanding. The members of the family, as the citizens of Dubrovnik, were included both in the economical and social life of the city. It could be seen, among other things, that they all, like many other rich and distinguished citizens of Dubrovnik, were elected into the ranks of the Antunini, that they were given lands in Konavle and in the Dubrovnik settlements (commercial colonies). In the Serbian lands some of them, even very often, were elected into judicial commissions. Nevertheless, the members of the family Alberti maintained all the time business and family relations with their land of origin.

Abstract Nusantara is the land with various old tales. There is remaining some historical facts that is still urgent to discuss. One of past theme that is interesting is the relation of kingdoms and lands. Aceh Darussalam is one of the greatest kingdom in Sumatra and the strait of Malaka. Their existence had regarded as the guard, but for the other groups see it as threat. In some cases, that outlook can be changing, depending on the regional political context. The Kingdom of Johor becomes a one of political entity that is actively associated with Aceh. They need a strong colleague, in order to continue their development into estabilished kingdom. Their dark past, that is the fall of Malaka because Portuguese attack in 1511, is used for building a billateral cooperation with Aceh. Instead, the two kingdoms involved family relations. As we khow, marriage is the one of ancient diplomatic model in Middle Ages. During the wheel of time, the diplomatic boundery between Aceh and Johor is not always on the line. At the one day, Johor had known that Aceh had another goal behind his intentions. Aceh had planned that Johor is part of Aceh’s subordinate area. Therefore, Johor had decided Portuguese as his friend. This decision contraries to the vision of Aceh. Aceh had thougt that Portuguese is his rival. Aceh had showed his anger with several attacks to Johor. This Paper will explain the model of ancient diplomacies, in case of the relation of Aceh and Johor. Some kind of that such as the diplomacy in politic and intellectual sphere. ---Abstrak Nusantara merupakan ranah yang kaya akan kisah masa lalu. Di dalamnya terendap beragam peristiwa yang masih aktual dibicarakan. Satu tema yang menarik adalah mengenai hubungan kenegerian antarkerajaan. Aceh Darussalam merupakan salah satu kerajaan besar di Sumatera dan perairan Malaka. Keberadaannya dianggap pengayom, namun bagi kelompok lain, ia diangap sebagai ancaman. Pada titik tertentu, pandangan ini bisa saja berubah-ubah, tergantung pada kondisi politik regional. Kesultanan Johor menjadi salah satu kesultanan yang aktif berhubungan dengan Aceh Darussalam. Johor membutuhkan rekanan yang tangguh, agar bisa terus berkembang menjadi kerajaan yang mapan. Masa lalu yang kelam, yakni dikuasainya Malaka oleh Portugis pada 1511, membulatkan tekad Johor untuk beriringan dengan Aceh dalam kerjasama bilateral. Malah, kedua kerajaan terikat oleh hubungan kekerabatan. Hal ini karena beberapa pangeran dan putri Johor menikah dengan pangeran dan putri dari Aceh. Seperti diketahui, pernikahan merupakan bentuk diplomasi kuno di Abad Pertengahan. Dalam perjalanannya, diplomasi yang dijalin Aceh dan Johor tidaklah berjalan mulus. Pada satu keadaan, Johor menyadari bahwa Aceh mempunyai motif lain, yakni ingin menjadikan Johor bagian dari daerah pengaruhnya. Oleh sebab itu, Johor memutuskan menjalin hubungan dengan Portugis, agar bisa lepas dari bayang-bayang Aceh. Aceh yang memang menjadikan Portugis sebagai rivalnya, marah dengan kebijakan Johor. Sejak itu di beberapa fase hubungan Aceh dan Johor terlibat peperangan. Tulisan ini akan mengangkat model dua diplomasi kuno seperti yang tersaji dalam kasus kerajaan Aceh dan Johor. Beberapa yang bisa disebutkan adalah diplomasi politik dan intelektual.  DOI: 10.15408/al-turas.v23i1.4800

Objective: To trace the epidemiological profile of notified cases involving child victims of violence in a public hospital of Teresina from 2009 to 2011. Methods: Retrospective study from the data of violence against children registered in the Information System for Notifiable Diseases ( SINAN). Enrolled 366 individual chips notification involving children 0-9 years old. Results: It was found that most cases occur in children aged 1-3 years (56.3%) and males (58.5%). Regarding the type of violence was observed more frequently neglect / abandonment (76.5%), with 65.6% of cases occurring in the victim's residence and taking her mother as the main aggressor (45.1%). Children died in 2.2% of reported cases. Conclusion: that child abuse is prevalent in the family environment and thus becomes a much more complex problem because the family that should take care and enabling conditions for survival and quality of life is precisely the one that participates or co-participate in acts of violence against children.
