The subject of this empirical research is a comprehensive view of the impact of functionality and dysfunctionality of the family on the emotional skills of children in relation to sex, age of children and the family structure. The main objective of the research is to determine whether there is a link between functionality and dysfunctionality of family and emotional skills of children in relation to sex, age of children and the family structure. The study used the basic, general, and data collection methods (test method). Test method, scaling technique was used in the empirical part of the research for data collection using instrument questionnaire of emotional competence. In accordance with the hypothesis of research we were examined whether there is a statistically significant difference in the level of development of emotional abilities between the functional groups of children from families and groups of children from dysfunctional families in relation to age (12-13, 14, 15 and 16 years), in relation to gender (male and female) in relation to family structure (complete and incomplete). The results showed that the statistically significant difference and clearly defined border between the groups in relation to: emotional abilities and age (12-13 years) - Analysis MANOVA p = .011 and discriminant analysis p = .011; emotional skills and gender (male) - Analysis MANOVA p = .042 and discriminant analysis p = .046; and emotional skills, and family structure (incomplete) - Analysis MANOVA p = .138 and discriminant analysis p = .069. The results showed that it was possible to define the characteristics, the homogeneity of the group and the distance between them, which confirmed that children from functioning families in relation to these variables have developed skills of emotional intelligence of children from dysfunctional families.

Abstract Objective To study the impact of admission to a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) on children's neurocognitive performance. Methods A case–control observational study including 50 children & adolescents and 75 age and gender matched children and adolescents.The study subjects underwent formative IQ testing using the Stanford Binet IQ test 3 months after discharge from the PICU. Results 27 males and 23 females with a mean age of 6.98 years were included in the study. Almost two thirds of the cases were admitted to the PICU post operatively (surgical causes). More than half of the cases needed sedation, 38% needed mechanical ventilation and 12% needed inotropic support. There was no statistically significant difference between cases and controls are regard IQ scores (total, verbal and performance IQ scores), neither was there a difference between medical and surgical cases. Data from similar pediatric cohorts is conflicting. Conclusion PICU does not seem to affect cognitive outcome in pediatric survivors. Further long term studies using standard scoring systems and time points of assessment are required.

The Impact

Modern societies are increasingly globalized, where information and communication technologies (ICTs) play a fundamental role in every aspect of daily life: from the social, family, labor, among others. Every day more people who without distinguishing age and gender are seen in the need and desire to have at least one technological device. Objective: To examine the impact of using ICTs in the family relations of the residents of Medellín city. Methodology: exploratory-descriptive research through a quantitative methodological design, a non-probabilistic sampling by criterion was made, where 77 people were selected. Data were collected through a questionnaire type survey with closed questions in a virtual way during 3 Months. Results: among the results, 73.4% of responders suggest that there is no adequate supervision of adults to guide children and adolescents to establish a critical position on these contents. On the other hand, the most valued resources are the mobile device and computer for the possibilities of communication between relatives that are far way and for being means to improve the educational and labor processes. Conclusion: studies around ICTs and their impacts have grown significantly, which it ratifies the importance of the topic. It is imperative that parents stop seeing ICTs as a distant entity, and try to be at the forefront of the uses of the same by children, to generate effective control in the training processes within the family.

The Impact

The study examines the attitudes toward family solidarity and filial care obligations among Turks of the first and second immigrant generation as compared to Germans. The focilie on the impact of ethnic-cultural and socio-structural predictors, respectively, and whether patterns change across different age groups. Processes of intergenerational transmission and acculturation in migration constitute the theoretical background. Data from the Generations and Gender Survey 2005 and 2006 are used, including respondents in private households in Germany aged 18 to 79 years of the main sample, and the migrant sample, conducted on same-aged Turkish citizens in Germany. It was found that the family solidarity potential is far higher among Turkish migrants than among Germans. These differences persist in the second generation and in all age groups. Socio-structural predictors are of little relevance. The analyses indicate strong transmission processes between family generations: There ist little evidence of an “acculturation gap”.   Zusammenfassung Die Studie untersucht das familiale Solidaritätspotenzial für pflegebedürftige Eltern bei türkischen Migranten der ersten und zweiten Generation und kontrastiert es mit jenem der deutschen einheimischen Bevölkerung. Die zentralen Fragen lauten, welche Rolle ethnisch-kulturellen bzw. sozialstrukturellen Einflussgrößen zukommt und ob sich die Muster über verschiedene Altersgruppen hinweg verändern. Den theoretischen Hintergrund bilden Diskussionen um Transmissions- und Akkulturationsprozesse in der Migration. Auf Grundlage der Daten des Generations and Gender Survey 2005 und 2006, der die 18 bis 79-jährige Wohnbevölkerung in Privathaushalten Deutschlands sowie in einer Zusatzerhebung ergänzend die türkischen Staatsangehörigen berücksichtigt, kann gezeigt werden, dass das familiale Solidaritätspotenzial bei türkischen Migranten wesentlich stärker ausgeprägt ist als bei Deutschen. Die Unterschiede bleiben in der nachfolgenden Generation und über alle Altersgruppen hinweg bestehen. Sozialstrukturelle Merkmale sind von geringer Bedeutung. Die Befunde zeigen, wie stark die Transmissionsprozesse zwischen den Generationen sind: Es gibt wenig Hinweise auf einen intergenerationalen „acculturation gap“.

Abstract In this paper, a discriminant analysis, as useful tool to predict potential demand in Serbian motels, is presented. Through the presented literature review, it was determined that there is not a large number of surveys dealing with the needs and demand of transit tourists. Despite that, transit tourism is one of the priority forms of tourism for the Republic of Serbia in accordance with the established Tourism Development Strategy for the Republic of Serbia for the current period. Questionnaire survey as the main method for data collection is used. According to the results, 14 dimensions of potential guests’ expectations are extracted. The results of discriminant function analysis (DFA) present the impact of potential motel guests’ expectations on the main reason for travelling, while the results of canonical varieties analysis (CVA) present the impact of potential motel guests’ expectations on preferred services in Serbian motels.

The Impact

Abstract Customer complaint behaviour, in response to service failures, has been shown to vary based on numerous factors, such as the nature of the service encounter, the setting, culture, gender and the presence of others. The gender-based study reported in this paper demonstrates the impact of two of these factors, i.e. the presence of others and gender, on the intent of Ecuadorian customers to voice their complaints about service failures in a restaurant setting. Employing a theoretical framework of impression management and cultural orientation, and with specific reference to Hofstede’s work on cultural differences, this study found that Ecuadorian customers were less likely to complain in the presence of other customers than when they were alone. Impression management and concern for others were shown to be more significant among women than men. Women were found to be more motivated to manage their public image and create positive impressions in other people’s minds, leading to less intent to complain in the presence of other customers than when they were alone. Male customers, on the other hand, exhibited less concern for others and did not show any significant difference in their complaint intentions, whether they were alone or in the presence of others.

PurposeIn response to the growing need for educational leaders who possess ethical, critical and reflective qualities, a training program was developed based on ethics as a reflective critical capacity and on Starratt's three‐dimensional model. This paper aims to describe the impact of the program on ethical decision making and on educational leaders’ ethical competencies.Design/methodology/approachA three‐year action‐research study was conducted with three groups of educational administrators, totalling 30 participants. Mixed methods were used for data collection: a pre‐ and post‐training questionnaire, individual semi‐structured interviews and group interviews. The questionnaire data were analyzed using SPSS software and interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis.FindingsResults from the pre‐test indicate that, prior to the training program, participants rarely possessed all three ethical dimensions. Post‐test results show how participants experience a significant readjustment process characterized by three different stages which have been called the transformative cycle. Qualitative results show the impact of the training program on improved ethical awareness, judgement structuring, a sense of responsibility, and overall professional conduct. No significant difference is observed between male and female participants but statistically significant differences are found according to number of years of experience and to work situation.Practical implicationsDeveloping sound ethical expertise appears to be promising in training future educational administrators and in improving their leadership skills.Originality/valueThis study is original in many aspects. Theoretically, it is based on a self‐regulated rather than hetero‐regulated approach to ethics and calls for descriptive rather then normative foundations to ethical leadership. With regard to its methodology, it used mixed methods adapted to action research as well as original data collection instruments.

Changes are occurring in society’s norm structure. One of these changes is the shifting of women roles. More wives are working outside home and acting as a source of income, event becoming chief wage earner in the family. Many past researches have used demographic and family structure as predictor of family purchase decision patterns. This study will figure out the impact of husbands’ perception and value to the usage of wife’s income for family expenditure. Total 112 husbands in Jakarta and Bandung participated in this survey. This study used questionnaire to gather data. Questions to measure perception and norm of husbands were derived from qualitative study, a preliminary interview with 20 husbands in Jakarta and Bandung Indonesia. Schwartz Value Scale was used to measure husband’s value structure. Findings indicate that husband perception and value have significant impact on usage of wife’s income for family expenditure. This research is useful to fill the research gap in family purchase decision theory. For marketers and business practitioners the results will enhance their comprehension in segmenting, selecting more effective target and creating more creative communication strategy.

Family is the main foundation for character formation and the role of family members. In addition, the family also plays a major role in the patterns of interaction that exist in people’s lives.  However, the development and changes that occur in society can effect the pattern (role) of family life. Today, the development of science and technology is able to influence the shape of society’s life structure toward the “modern society”, one of the impact on family structure is the existance of madern family, which is characterized by the intensity of meetings among family members is increasingly “limit” due to the high level of activity outside the household, such as: children who are out of town school, husband and wife career, husband who works outside the city and see also. Moreover, because the development of communication, so this can be made as a means to build family resilience. Therefore, this article will try to examine communication systems as a significant element to build family resiliaence throught historical contex and sociological approaches, where the presentasion is by integrating, describing, and the analyzing social phenomena—modern family life patterns, changes and developments in technology, communication—using “nilai etik theory” through several rules of Islamic communication as the value of communicating in the family. So that, when viewed from “nilai etik theory” develop by Rahman, conclusions can be obtained, that there are several elements of a very close relationship to the principles of Islamic communication, development of family structure, and family resilience as a way to build a family that is a sakinah, mawaddan and rahmah.Dewasa ini, perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi mampu mempengaruhi bentuk struktur kehidupan masyarakat ke arah “masyarakat modern”, yang salah satu dampaknya berpengaruh terhadap struktur yang ditandai dengan terbatasnya tingkat intensitas pertemuan antar anggota keluarga karena tingginya aktivitas di luar rumah tangga, seperti; anak yang sekolah atau kuliah di luar kota, suami-istri yang berkarir, suami yang bekerja di luar kota, dan sebaliknya. Lebih lanjut, karena perkembangan alat komunikasi yang semakin maju, maka hal tersebut dapat  dijadikan sebagai salah satu sarana untuk membangun ketahanan keluarga. Oleh karena itu, artikel ini akan coba menelaah sistem komunikasi sebagai unsur yang signifikan untuk membangun ketahanan keluarga melalui pendekatan historis (historical contex) dan pendekatan sosiologis, di mana pemaparannya dengan cara memadukan, mendeskripsikan, dan kemudian menganalisis fenomena sosial—pola kehidupan keluarga modern, perubahan dan perkembangan teknologi, komunikasi—menggunakan teori nilai etik melalui beberapa kaidah komunikasi Islam sebagai nilai berkomunikasi di dalam keluarga. Sehingga, apabila ditinjau dari “teori nilai etik” yang dikembangkan oleh Rahman, dapat diperoleh kesimpulan, bahwa terdapat beberapa unsur hubungan yang sangat erat terhadap prinsip-prinsip komunikasi Islam, perkembangan struktur keluarga, dan ketahanan keluarga sebagai jalan untuk membangun keluarga yang sakinah, mawaddah dan rahmah.
