El machismo como fenómeno social discriminatorio hacia la mujer constituye un problema ampliamente estudiado y vigente en el contexto ecuatoriano actual. En correspondencia con los criterios antes expresados, el objetivo de la presente investigación fue caracterizar las conductas machistas que se manifiestan en la Ciudadela Municipal de Portoviejo y sus efectos en la dinámica familiar de pareja. El estudio se desarrolló con un enfoque metodológico mixto para llevar a cabo una investigación de campo con diseño de investigación no experimental transversal. La muestra quedó conformada por 300 individuos que conformaban 150 parejas conyugales. Los resultados evidenciaron que las principales conductas machistas que se manifiestan en las parejas objeto de estudio y sus efectos en la dinámica familiar fueron: falta de comunicación parental o comunicación caracterizada por reproches, sátiras, insultos y críticas destructivas, generadora de una afectación de las relaciones maritales e intrafamiliares; percepción negativa de la inserción social, política y económica de la mujer sobre la posición jerárquica del hombre en el seno familiar, lo cual conlleva a la disminución de los vínculos afectivos de pareja e intrafamiliares y al maltrato doméstico que limita la capacidad de independencia de la mujer; imposición de la voluntad del hombre en el núcleo familiar e irritabilidad con tendencia a la violencia física, psicológica y sexual contra la mujer cuando no es aceptada dicha imposición; imposición por parte de los hombres de un rol autoritario aceptado por la mujer en el núcleo familiar por temor a dañar la comunicación y el afecto en la relación marital e intrafamiliar. PALABRAS CLAVE: machismo; conductas machistas; violencia de género; dinámica familiar. Machist behaviors and its effects on the family dynamic of a couple in the Municipal Citizen of Portoviejo, Manabí ABSTRACT Machismo as a discriminatory social phenomenon towards women constitutes a widely studied and current problem in the current Ecuadorian context. In correspondence with the criteria previously expressed, the objective of this research was to characterize the sexist behaviors that are manifested in the Municipal Citadel of Portoviejo and its effects on the couple's family dynamics. The study was developed with a mixed methodological approach to carry out field research with a non-experimental cross-sectional research design. The sample was made up of 300 individuals who made up conjugal couples. The results showed that the main sexist behaviors that are manifested in the couples under study and their effects on family dynamics were: lack of parental communication or communication characterized by reproaches, satires, insults and destructive criticism, generating an affectation of relationships intrafamily; Negative perception of the social, political and economic insertion of women on the hierarchical position of men in the family, which leads to a decrease in marital and intra-family emotional ties and domestic abuse that limits the independence capacity of women ; imposition of the man's will in the family nucleus and irritability with a tendency to physical, psychological and sexual violence against women when said imposition is not accepted; imposition by men of an authoritarian role accepted by women in the family nucleus for fear of damaging communication and affection in the marital and intra-family relationship. KEYWORDS: sexism; macho behaviors; gender violence; family dynamics.

This is a field research that analyzes the marriage suitability of elderly people in Socah, Bangkalan under the theory of maqasid shari'ah. The elderly marriage is officially conducted at KUA (Religious Affairs Office) of Socah for different reasons, namely: on the basis of coercion to the bride so that the family relationship does not break up, resulting in reluctance, on the basis of family compassion and encouragement. It is because the bride is an old maid and is his own niece on the basis of mutual love, avoid immorality and seek peace of life in old age. All couples can fulfill both material and non-material obligations, although not as perfect as a young couple. Some husbands do not want to have children for fear of not being able to support even though in this case the wife really wants it. Thus, the marriage of the elderly in Socah is sometimes appropriate and not in accordance with the maqasid shari'ah. The suitability in question is in terms of hifz al-din (protecting religion) and hifz al-mal (protecting wealth), while its inadequacies are in terms of hifz al-nasl (protecting offspring), because of their desires to have offspring and in terms of hifz al-nafs (protecting soul), and hifz al-'aql (protecting ratio), because of differences in descent have the negative effect on family disharmony that can interfere with the soul and mind. In this case, an intense dialogue and approach must be made to the couple to be more open and understand each other.

Nosso objetivo neste artigo, a partir de entrevistas e netnografia, é mostrar-lhes que a partir do âmbito religioso emergem coletivos cujas as vozes dissonantes não compactuam com a subjugação feminina implementada pela religião e denunciam em ambientes virtuais a violência praticada contra a mulher em ambientes domésticos ou eclesiais. Além de trabalharem voluntariamente instruindo e acolhendo vítimas de violência, é importante destacar que as Feministas Evangélicas, por nós pesquisadas, lutam em favor da legalização do aborto, pois entendem que esta é uma questão de saúde pública. Porém, mesmo lutando em favor dos direitos femininos, elas são ameaçadas por indivíduos que possuem ethos familista e visão conservadora de mundo, pois estes entendem que elas querem destruir a família. Palavras-chave: Feminismo; religião; violência de gênero; política.   Abstract This article aims to present, through interviews and netnography, collectives that emerge from the religious sphere, where dissonant voices do not agree with the female subjugation implemented by religion who denounces in virtual environments the violence against women in environments domestic or ecclesial. Besides volunteer work, instructing, and supporting victims of violence, the Evangelical Feminists group fight for abortion legalization, as they understand it as a public health issue. However, even when fighting for women's rights, they are threatened by individuals who have a familist ethos and a conservative worldview because they understand that they want to destroy the family.

Además de trabajar voluntariamente en la instrucción y acogida de víctimas de violencia, es importante destacar que las Feministas Evangélicas que hemos investigado luchan por la legalización del aborto, pues entienden que este es un tema de salud pública.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze, in the light of systemic thinking, the association between family dynamics and the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs by adolescents throughout life. Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in nine public schools in the city of Recife. Three hundred and sixty-four adolescents aged 14 to 19 years participated. We used three questionnaires: The Alcohol, Smoking, and Substance Involvement Screening Test, a reduced version of the Drug Use Screening Inventory; and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Results: there was an association between parents/guardians ignoring what the child considers meaningful to him and the consumption of alcohol and tobacco by adolescents; we also verified an association between the occurrence of conflicting relationships and the consumption of illicit drugs by adolescents. Conclusions: it confirmed that disorganization in the family system, marked by impairments in emotional connections among members, and fragility in the sense of belonging are associated with the consumption of drugs in life by adolescents.

La familia ejerce roles complejos en la recuperación del adicto, en donde los valores, sentimientos, emociones, son parte de un sistema en continua evolución y cambio, adaptándose, transformándose en relación con las presiones del medio en que se desenvuelven, siendo la relación familiar de gran importancia. Se considera a la familia como una herramienta de intervención valiosa para romper la negación de la persona adicta y así iniciar el proceso recuperación, pero en ocasiones suele ser la principal causa de que el paciente abandone el tratamiento e incluso provocar desliz y/o recaídas. Un elemento clave en la recuperación de las adicciones son sus familiares, tanto en su detección, aceptación, orientación, canalización, tratamiento y mantenimiento de la abstinencia provocada por la dependencia del consumo de una sustancia. Lo principal es que los familiares se integren en el proceso de recuperación de las personas drogodependientes, buscando estrategias preventivas para evitar el abandono del tratamiento basado en el manejo y entendimiento de la problemática de las drogas, así como también se busca que la familia sea parte activa promoviendo una recuperación de calidad que contribuya a fortalecer la personalidad de cada uno de los internos tanto en la familia como en la sociedad en general. PALABRAS CLAVE: Rol de la familia; proceso de recuperación; drogodependencia. ROLE OF THE FAMILY IN THE PROCESS OF RECOVERY OF DROGODEPENDENT PERSONS ABSTRACT The family exercises complex roles in the recovery of the addict, where the values, feelings, emotions, are part of a system in continuous evolution and change, adapting, transforming in relation to the pressures of the environment in which they operate, being the family relationship of great importance. The family is considered as a valuable intervention tool to break the denial of the addicted person and thus initiate the recovery process, but sometimes it is usually the main cause of the patient leaving the treatment and even causing slip and / or relapses. A key element in the recovery of addictions are their relatives, both in their detection, acceptance, orientation, channeling, treatment and maintenance of abstinence caused by the dependence of the consumption of a substance. The main thing is that the families are integrated into the recovery process of drug addicts, looking for preventive strategies to avoid the abandonment of the treatment based on the management and understanding of the problem of drugs, as well as seeking to make the family part of the family active promoting a recovery of quality that contributes to strengthen the personality of each of the inmates both in the family and in society in general. KEYWORDS: Role of the family; recovery process; drug addiction.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze entrepreneurship in the context of the second, third and fourth generations of family businesses, considering the family as an institution and mapping the reasons and influences to institutional forces across generations. Design/methodology/approach Three focus groups conducted for the study revealed that each generation has dealt differently with issues related to institutional forces, such as legitimacy, business professionalization and succession. Findings The perpetuation and transmission of entrepreneurial behavior has been greatly influenced by the family and this is especially clear when it is seen as an institution that unites and binds its members, while guiding or restricting the choices available to these agents through limits imposed on them. The family exerts a strong institutional influence across generations, both defining boundaries and creating opportunities for its members. Regardless of the generation of family business, the family founders and their successors’ responses are modeled by institutional forces. Research limitations/implications The main limitation is concentration of focus on a specific context, Brazilian family businesses. Therefore, the results are limited to this case. With regard to the methodological approach, the authors employed cross-sectional data collection, making it difficult or even impossible to make a historical analysis of the facts that are limited to the present perceptions of the interviewees. It should also be considered, from the institutional perspective, that the authors only analyze the family as an institution, leaving out of the context other institutions and institutional dimensions such as the political and industrial, for example. Practical implications This study helps to explain entrepreneurship in the context of the second, thirrd, and fourth generation of family businesses, considering family as an institution, mapping the motivations and influences of institutional forces across generations. The relevance of family as an institution as drivers of family businesses, as demonstrated in this study, can contribute to decision making and succession of family businesses. Equally, the results can contribute to avoidance of the possible pitfalls of transgenerational changes and facilitate better management of problems such as legitimacy caused by a lack of norms and procedures or transfer of tacit knowledge. Social implications There have been few attempts to understand the dynamics of the family business as an institution that also consider transgenerational changes. Rather, family business has been analyzed separately from institutions. Institutions are rarely taken into account in studies of family businesses. Consequently, a perspective that aims to understand the relationship between family businesses and institutions, taking account of transgenerational influences should further theory. Transgenerational family businesses are an appropriate object of study in this context, because of the institutional changes they undergo due to the influence of institutional forces over time. Originality/value This study shows the relevance of understanding how these issues are dealt with in different generations of a family institution. Aspects related to entrepreneurship in the context of family businesses have been attracting attention from researchers interested in family businesses and scholars of institutional entrepreneurship.

El presente trabajo de investigación trata sobre el alcoholismo y la violencia intrafamiliar que existe en los adolescentes de la fundación "Nuevos Surcos” de la provincia de Manabí del cantón Portoviejo, con el objeto de conocer los efectos que el alcohol causa en la familia y sugerir formas de mantener una adecuada comunicación entre padres e hijos, tomando en cuenta que el alcohólico necesita ser liberado de su deseo imperioso de consumir requiriendo de un proceso de alejamiento con la sociedad y ser internado en una comunidad terapéutica, para desintoxicarse y mantener estabilidad física y emocional, sin que el organismo eche de menos la sustancia etílica y de esta manera poder decir que se ha obtenido el máximo beneficio que la fundación ofrece a través del Programa de A.A (Alcohólicos Anónimos), procedimientos médicos, psicológicos; lo que ayudará a mejorar la relación intrafamiliar. Se elige este tema porque es de interés social puesto que el alcohol es una droga líquida legal en nuestro medio, que llega a ser ingerida con normalidad en cualquier evento social, tornándose un conflicto cuando la persona que lo consume no tomo control de su conducta, cuando continua bebiendo a pesar de infringir de forma negativa sus principios, es entonces ahí donde se llega al convencimiento de que el alcoholismo es una enfermedad que no solo afecta al consumidor, sino a todo su entorno aniquilando a todas aquellas personas que se encuentran relacionadas con el paciente, específicamente su familia. Necesariamente se tendrá que analizar la dipsomanía desde los puntos de vista médicos, sociales, legales y religiosos para prevenir en los adolescentes vulnerables y poder crear conciencia en los consumidores sobre el daño físico, psicológico y social que presenta el consumo del alcohol. PALABRAS CLAVE: comunicación; alcoholismo; familia. THE ALCOHOLISM AND THE INTRAFAMILY VIOLENCE OF THE INTERNAL IN THE "NUEVOS SURCOS" FOUNDATION ABSTRACT The present research work deals with the alcoholism and intrafamily violence that exists in the adolescents of the foundation "Nuevos Surcos" of the province of Manabí of the canton Portoviejo, in order to know the effects that alcohol causes in the family and suggest ways to maintain adequate communication between parents and children, taking into account that the alcoholic needs to be freed from his or her desire to consume by requiring a process of distancing from society and being admitted to a therapeutic community, to detoxify and maintain physical stability and emotional, without the body missing the alcohol substance and thus be able to say that it has obtained the maximum benefit that the foundation offers through the AA Program (Alcoholics Anonymous), medical, psychological procedures, which will help improve the intra-family relationship. This topic is chosen because it is of social interest since alcohol is a legal liquid drug in our environment, which becomes normally ingested in any social event, becoming a conflict when the person who consumes it does not take control of their behavior, When he continues to drink despite infringing his principles in a negative way, it is then that he comes to the conviction that alcoholism is a disease that not only affects the consumer, but the whole environment annihilating all those people who are related to the patient, specifically his family. Necessarily, dipsomania will have to be analyzed from the medical, social, legal and religious points of view in order to prevent vulnerable adolescents and to create awareness among consumers about the physical, psychological and social damage that alcohol consumption presents. KEYWORDS: communication; alcoholism; family.

La presente investigación pretende identificar las causas por las cuales las adolescentes recurren al aborto inducido, las actitudes que asumen sus padres, y el apoyo que reciben de ellos, es decir las dinámicas familiares generadas por esta experiencia. Se planteó las preguntas: ¿Existe relación en el tipo de la dinámica familiar con la búsqueda del aborto inducido? Y ¿de qué forma influye la dinámica familiar en la decisión de practicarse un aborto inducido? Se utilizó literatura sobre el tema que permite comprender de mejor manera la investigación, para en lo posterior aplicar encuestas a 100 jóvenes embarazadas y a 38 padres de familia, quienes de manera voluntaria y con conocimiento accedieron colaborar llenando las encuestas. El diseño original contempló encuestar a todas las adolescentes en embarazo precoz, que llegaban al Distrito, al igual que a sus padres, sin embargo, en el transcurso del estudio se presentaron dificultades dadas por las características del embarazo, tales como que sus padres aún no lo sabían, incluyendo el caso en que las adolescentes no quisieron participar en el estudio. El presente estudio es de carácter cuantitativo, transversal y de tipo descriptivo, buscando una perspectiva comprehensiva de este fenómeno social, que es una realidad compleja. De acuerdo a los resultados, las jóvenes encuestadas provienen de hogares mayoritariamente legalizados, están casados civilmente los padres, en la mayoría de hogares hay violencia familiar; y en alto porcentaje los padres tuvieron su primer hijo antes de los 20 años. PALABRAS CLAVE: Embarazo precoz; adolescencia; aborto inducido; dinámica familiar.

The questions were posed: Is there a relationship in the type of family dynamics with the search for induced abortion? And in what way does family dynamics influence the decision to perform an induced abortion? Literature on the subject was used to better understand the research, and later on, to apply surveys to 100 pregnant girls and 38 parents, who voluntarily and knowingly agreed to collaborate by completing the surveys. The original design contemplated surveying all adolescents in early pregnancy, who arrived at the District, as well as their parents, however, in the course of the study there were difficulties given by the characteristics of pregnancy, such as that their parents have not yet they knew it, including the case in which the adolescents did not want to participate in the study. The present study is of a quantitative, transversal and descriptive nature, looking for a comprehensive perspective of this social phenomenon, which is a complex reality. According to the results, the young women surveyed come from mostly legalized homes, the parents are married civilly, in most homes there is family violence; and in high percentage the parents had their first child before the age of 20. KEYWORDS: Precocious pregnancy; adolescence; induced abortion; family dynamics.

The objective of this study was to analyze the factors and their prevalence associated with family dysfunction, as well as the functional capacity of the elderly population, in the capital of the state of Goiás, Brazil. This was a cross-sectional and analytical study, which was developed with elderly people who reported family dysfunction. Global capacity and family dynamics were analyzed. For the 149 elderly people with family dysfunction, there was prevalence of the female gender, aged between 60 to 69, married, multi-person home, normal health, and presence of pain. Functional capacity evaluation revealed partial dependence for self-care. In the family dynamics, dialog and time shared by the family were the most fragile aspects, with moderate satisfaction for all domains. High family dysfunction remained associated with falls (p=0.003) and previous episodes of acute myocardial infarction (p=0.004) using Poisson's analysis. The elderly expressed preserved functional autonomy and capacity regarding self-care and social living.
