The family is the basic unit of society that if damaged, will have a direct impact on the society at large. The increase in social problems and criminal activities are among the direct results of the decay of the family institution. Various matters within the family institution contribute to the strengthening or its weakening it. The failure of a man in carrying out his duty as the head of the family is one of the main issues addressed in this article. If he neglects his responsibilities such as non-payment of maintenance or fails to act as a guardian who protects the interests of his children, the direct victim will be the wife and the children. Sufficient evidence show that children brought up in an unhappy or broken family would have a higher tendency to be involved with evil activities outside their homes. This creates a new ailment or adds up to the existing ailments in the society. The role of the wife and mother in ensuring the stability of the family institution is also examined. Issues pertaining to polygamy also have a direct impact on increasing ailments in society, and this is also discussed. Finally, suggestions and recommendations are made in order to improve the current legislations and policies with regard to family matters so as to optimise their efficiency and contribute to minimise the ailments in the society. This article concentrates on the Islamic law as well as the legislation relating to family matters which are applicable to Muslims in Malaysia.

In Islamic law, pre-wedding photos have not been regulated in detail. However, pre-wedding photo activities have become commonplace by the community. It becomes a problem when pre-wedding is currently done with an intimate scene, usually the prospective bride uses sexy clothes and is also not accompanied by her mahram when doing pre-wedding photos. Even though there have been many fatwas and studies on the limits of permissibility and prohibition in the pre-wedding procession.The results show that the pre-wedding procession that is carried out by the community in terms of poses, clothes, and also assistance in accordance with Islamic law, the law is permissible. However, it often happens in the community to take photos before the marriage contract with scenes as if they are legally husband and wife and the bride's family knows without prohibiting, directing, and guiding them according to Islamic teachings. In this case the role of the family is very important, we as parents must understand the basis of religious knowledge and how to instill religious values in our children since childhood is the key to this problem dilemma.

Islamic law and women are one of mostly debated discourses bycontemporary Islamic thinkers particularly those who are gender issuesproponents. That discourse grows due to the accuse towards Islam thatthis religion is the source of gender inequality for women through outmuslim world especially in education, fairness and domestic freedom aswell as social welfare in the family. The assumption is that Islamic law ismale-based law. Therefore, it is a need to explore the note on Islamic lawdevelopment which is perceived from the role of women in the early age oflaw construction not from the aspect of the thought of classical ulama inthe middle age. This paper tries to explore and to discuss mainly the role ofSiti Aisyah as the teacher and the transmitter of hadith as the foundation ofIslamic law construction to underline women’s position and contributionas the law maker that it will prove that Islamic law is not merely men-basedlaw as the assumption grows.

While on duty, soldiers are exposed to severe stress, and mental condition has a direct impact on the efficacy of their performance. The paper shows how the specificity of soldiers’ work affects their mental health. The importance of the role of psychologists in the army is emphasized, and the consequences of negligence in soldiers’ mental care are indicated. The way in which the mental health of soldiers is protected in Poland, by the state itself and by the institutions established for this purpose, is also characterised. Special attention is paid to mental health care for the soldiers that take part in foreign military missions, who are exposed to psychological trauma as a result of isolation from the family and friends, and as a result of being placed in a new cultural and religious environment. On the basis of the above, the necessity of implementing new system solutions to ensure the effective psychological protection of soldiers is indicated.

During more than half a century, Psychiatry has extensively accepted a biomedical model studying mental disorders (including schizophrenia, affective disorders and the large group of stress-related disorders, including anxiety disorder. Thus, the classical dichotomy between functional and organic psychiatric disorders is obsolete and from a theoretical point of view there should be no obstacle for Psychiatry to deal with the study of dementias from gene to clinical levels using empirical methods, including neurotransmitters and scanning techniques. However, in many European countries, the dementias have been claimed as belonging primarily to Neurology, leaving the role of psychiatrists to treat psychotic symptoms and bizarre behavioral disturbances.However, psychiatrists have a long tradition of detailed psychopathological description and great skill in coping with the many psychological, ethical and social problems that are such important features of mental disorders and particularly the dementias, and so, the specific skills of psychiatrists will certainly be warranted in managing the many significant psychological and social problems of the patient both within the family and in society. The discussion must overcome the sterile debate between specialties to focus on the skills needed to adequately address the needs of patients with dementia and their caregivers.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his declaration of competing interest.

In 2019, in the scientific and practical legal journal "Public Law" №1 (33), the authors published an article on the feasibility of developing a single model of international public law and the noosphere. This decision was made in accordance with known scientific facts: the existence of a single global space of civilizational events and the noosphere, the space of which can be represented as a topological, and the system of public international law can be described as an "equilibrium surface" of differentiated diversity. The development of these studies led the authors to the realization of the existence of a global information and legal structure in the noosphere system, and then to the development and creation of a "topological double-circuit shell-nuclear information and legal model of the noosphere." This model became a conceptual basis for further research: to develop a system of noosphere law, methods of international legal forecasting and monitoring the "stability" of the information and legal structure of the civilizational space of the noosphere. The results of the research are the theoretical foundation for the formation and development of a new scientific and educational interdisciplinary discipline: "legal noospherology", which is of paramount scientific importance for the development of effective methods of international legal forecasting. The implementation of the natural-legal scenario of "inversion", in the absence of monitoring of information and legal processes in the noosphere system using the Model, according to the "catastrophe theory", can lead the world civilization system to unpredictable but expected negative consequences is noted. Their onset, due to the unpredictability of the local human – or rather, personal factor, can cause a spontaneous "implosion" of the shell-nuclear structure of the noosphere and its subsequent "collapse".

There is no doubt that the marital rights between the spouses stemming from this sacred covenant vary between purely material rights and moral rights that include both spouses, and among these rights are funds related to the Muslim family, which arose with this construction and the sacred covenant, the provisions of Islamic law have preserved the rights of The financial wife imposed her dowry, and obliged the husband to support and accommodation for the wife. Taking care of her and maintaining herself and her body, and through this financial care for the rights of the wife and the woman’s enjoyment of financial responsibility independent of the husband, the common money between the two spouses may arise through the course of life between them, and it is known that the marital contract in Islam ends with one of only two: divorce or death, and so on. They have implications for joint funds; From here comes the importance of this study to solve the problem of disagreement over joint funds. the importance of studying . The shared money between the spouses is of great importance in the stability of the family and the building of society. Therefore, attention must be paid to the reality of the joint money, how it is managed, and the controls that govern it when disagreeing, so that the financial rights of both spouses are not lost. Which may negatively affect the stability and development of society. Objectives of the study : The study seeks to achieve a set of goals that would achieve balance in the issue of joint funds, and among these goals. 1- Attempting to find an accurate definition of the shared property between spouses 2- Establishing rules and controls for dealing in joint funds 3- A statement of the legal adjustment of the joint property of the spouses Research questions : Several questions revolve around this problem, including the following. 1- If the marital contract occurred and ended, then what is the fate of the common property between the spouses? 2- What is the matter if a dispute occurs between the spouses about this money? 3- What are the controls that can be referred to when the difference occurs? Through this research paper, we try to answer these questions in order to arrive at a legal adaptation to the problem of disagreement about the joint money between the spouses, and to explain the implications of that. By studying this topic in the following pages.

This research deals with the work of the Muslim wife, and the consequent disagreement between the spouses regarding it and the salary of the wife, and her entitlement to the joint money. This is because there is an urgent need at this time to rooting the saying about this issue, given the rapid developments that characterize this age. As the current life has made the exit of women to work essential in light of complex social and economic conditions, this issue has become one of the most serious issues that cause conflict and discord between spouses. The research uncovered the origin of marital disputes that may occur due to the wife's work and salary, and the money earned during marriage, and I followed the comparative analytical inductive approach in it. She divided it into an introduction, a preface - in which it clarified the objectives of Islamic law in marriage - and three topics: the first presented the rights and duties of the spouses, while the second came to explain the impact of a woman’s work on the family and society, then she allocated the third to the effect of her work on her entitlement to joint money. The research concluded that knowing the two parties to the marital relationship of each of their rights and duties works to stabilize the spouses, and defuse the discord and conflict between them. Women and men are partners in the architecture of human life and succession on earth. The woman is the basis of the family, the family is the most important human institution, and the good of society is subordinate to the good of the family. The more a society is based on respect and appreciation for women, the easier it will be in establishing their rights and the further from harming them. Good cohabitation requires that the wife not do anything except with the consent of her husband, and on top of those matters is her going out to work. The development occurred - negatively or positively - in Muslim societies led to the mixing of the spouses' money. The wife's contribution to her financial and intangible effort is the motivation behind establishing her share in the joint money. Therefore, the researcher recommends that the work be undertaken to restore the correct religious concepts to society, as the man learns fatherly experiences and the experiences of living within the family, and Islam's honor to women in order to eliminate the tendencies to reduce them and their humanitarian work. Women are made aware that work is not limited to material work with pay only, and that motherhood is the ultimate in work. Limiting the issuance of public fatwas regarding the wife’s work and salary, and looking at the outcome of judgments, and the purposes of Sharia when issuing a fatwa in which no Sharia text is mentioned. Fiqh councils and the role of fatwas should bring the reality on the table to research and fatwa. The use of reason and not rigidity on the rulings decided by our venerable jurists, as long as it does not deny an opinion on the subject of Ijtihad.

Abstract Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL) is an autosomal recessive immune dysregulation disorder associated with Perforin, Munc13-4 and Syntaxin 11 genes. The mutations in the Perforin gene are the most common cause of the disease. Among these mutations, the role of the Alanin91Valin (A91V) alteration in the pathogenesis of the disease has long been controversial. Even though this alteration can be considered as a polymorphism based on its high frequency in normal population (>3.7%) and homozygous existence in some healthy individuals, it is also considered as a genetic risk factor depending on its much higher frequency observed in FHL patients (22.7%) and compound heterozygous existence with other disease causing mutations in the Perforin gene in some FHL patients. Contrary to the previous publications concerning with the co-existence of heterozygous A91V with homozygous mutations in other described FHL genes, there has been no reports on homozygous co-existence of A91V up until this communication where we present the interesting results of a study which shed light not only on the role of A91V in development of FHL, but also on the etiopathogenesis of genetic diseases in general. The subject of the study was a 12 year old female patient who was a product of a first degree consanguineous marriage. Initial diagnosis was lymphomatoid granulomatosis due to the presence of symptoms associated solely with central nervous system. The correct diagnosis could be made 1 year later upon development of systemic findings of FHL. There was no history of similar disorder in the family. Linkage analysis in the family revealed homozygosity for both Perforin and Munc13-4 genes in the patient and for only Munc13-4 gene in one of the asymptomatic sibling who was heterozygous for Perforin gene. Syntaxin 11 gene was excluded in this analysis. Detected merely in the patient was a homozygous A91V substitution (272C>T) in the sequencing of the Perforin gene. Sequencing of the complete coding (32 exons) and the flanking sequences, on the other hand, led to the identification of a homozygous three nucleotide in-frame deletion (2135-2137delTCG) in exon 23 of Munc13-4 gene. This novel mutation resulted in the replacement of nonpolar two aminoacids (Ile-Gly) at positions 712-713 with a polar single aminoacid (Ser). It is plausible that the substitution of highly conserved two aminoacids, especially one (Ile) playing important role in the stability of proteins, with a hydrophilic one would alter the three dimensional structure and the stability of the protein, and would lead to FHL. Ironically, however, an asymptomatic sibling who is currently 22 year old was also homozygous for the mutation. This finding led to the assumption that the Munc13-4 mutation alone may not be sufficient for the development of the disease, but may be a genetic risk factor requiring co-existence of additional homozygous genetic risk factor situated in another FHL gene. If this is the case, it is reasonable to state that homozigosity for A91V in Perforin as well as homozygosity for the 2135-2137del mutation in Munc13-4 is a strong genetic susceptibility factor contributing significantly to the pathogenesis of the disease when they are co-existed. However, this notion could be valid as long as the sibling with homozygous Munc13-4 mutation stays asymptomatic. On the other hand, late onset and atypical presentation in the propositus may indicate that the homozygous co-existence of both alterations is not associated with serious clinical course of the disease as far as the presenting age of the disease is concerned.
