Previous research conducted in Hungary has shown that second generation Chinese immigrants construct a complex, multicultural identity which contains elements from the cultural environment created by the host society, the migrant diaspora, the family of the migrant and the country of origin as well. This paper presents the findings of an interview-based research project conducted in Hungary with the involvement of 20 second-generation Chinese immigrants and seeks to examine the complexity of their cultural identity, focussing especially the role of the family in the construction of traditions. According to our findings we argue that in the family setting, there is constant negotiation between generations regarding norms and traditions, which reveal different priorities. In this article I show that those areas where the most negotiations occur also overlap with the fields of increased parental interest and control, namely: education, dating/marriage, and language. I also discuss how holidays celebrated by the family show a high degree of flexibility and mixed solutions, involving cultural elements from both the host society and the country of origin.

Industrial School

This article explores the growth and development of Industrial Schools following independence in Ireland with a particular focus on children within the family setting and how these institutions influenced child welfare policy in Ireland. Twenty-five unstructured interviews were conducted with male and female former Industrial School ‘inmates’. This article focuses on the research gathered from these, with a particular emphasis placed on the data that emerged relating to their background and this is further supplemented by that collected in the Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse (CICA) Report (2009). This article draws on a Foucauldian perspective in order to understand how institutions regulated the lives of Irish people (in this case children and their families), through the definition of what is ‘normal’ and identifying who is seen to deviate from this.

The pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD) is complex, and at present a unified concept of the development of the disease has not been formed. At the heart of pathogenesis, there is a complex interaction of numerous factors, such as genetic predisposition, dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system and the epidermal barrier. Previously, it has been proven that a high microbial contamination of the affected areas helps to maintain inflammation and aggravates skin dysfunction as a result of chronic inflammation, and favorable factors appear for the attachment of a secondary infection. However, little attention has been paid to dysfunctions of the epidermal barrier, the role of violations of the quantitative and qualitative composition of the microbiota in the development of AD, and this issue remains relevant at the present time. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the carrier of bacteria on the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract in family members on the course of atopic dermatitis in a child. A bacteriological examination of the mucous membranes of the nose and throat was carried out in 34 children with AD and members of their families (74 people). When examining the mucous membranes of the nose and throat in family members of children with AD, it was found that the microflora isolated from family members in more than half of the cases has an increased potential for pathogenicity with a high degree of contamination (CFU lg 3), which forms an increased bacteriological load on the child. The tendency of bacterial carriage was revealed, contributing to the formation in the family of a permanent persistence of microflora with a high potential for pathogenicity. Asymptomatic carriage of bacteria forms an additional epidemiological load on the child, affects the severity of AD and is a risk factor in the development of secondary infection of the skin.

The key role of digital and mobile media for refugees is increasingly acknowledged, but while the literature on the topic tends to celebrate the advantages of digital media, it is important to also acknowledge limitations. Thus, the focus on the creation and maintenance of connections through digital media may obscure experiences and practices of disconnection. This is certainly the case for forced migrants with non-normative sexual orientations, for whom experiences of homophobia within the family and ethno-cultural community in the country of origin may extend to fraught situations in the country of residence. As with digital media in general, it is important to consider the ‘offline’ social and cultural conditions determining online media uses. This article focuses on the specific challenges for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer refugees, both in general and in Belgium, drawing on desk research and expert interviews, as well as nine in-depth interviews with gay-identifying male refugees. While the refugees are relatively positive about the Belgian situation, they do identify a number of challenges. They use digital media to stay connected to family and other people in the country of origin, but often this connection has become difficult. Social media and dating sites also offer a way to connect to other gay men, but these connections can be equally fraught, particularly in the country of origin for danger of exposure but also in Belgium as social media transcend national boundaries. For this reason, some participants created new or parallel profiles, to keep their gay lives disconnected from their family lives. Overall, then, digital media are a tool not only of connection but also of strategic disconnection for gay refugees.

The aim of the study is twofold. On the one hand it concerns the measurement and the examination of the subjects’ self-concept and on the other the detection and justification of the role of family in its configuration. The study analyzed the data collected from the answers to a research questionnaire of 1344 15-and 16-year-old school students in the Prefecture of Thessaloniki, Greece) with the use of a stratified random sampling technique. The first important finding concerned the high degree of the general self-concept of the adolescents. Among the seven specific sectors of the general self-concept a major variation was noted, with the higher average to be traced in the relationship that the students have configured with their peers and the lower one in the valuation of their academic competence. The second important finding was the ascertainment of the essential contribution of the family.

Rough Cut

Immigrations resulting from decolonization challenge the ability of researchers to track accurately the incorporation of the second generation through classifications based on country of origin. This article considers a classic example of such an immigration - from North Africa to France at the time of and after the independence of Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia. This immigration was ethnically complex, composed - to take a rough cut - of the former colonists of European background (the pieds noirs) and low-wage laborers belonging to the indigenous population (the Maghrebins). A historical review indicates that the key to distinguishing these two groups lies in the exact citizenship status of the immigrants, for the former colonists were French by birth and the others generally were not. Analyzing micro-level data from the censuses of 1968, 1975, 1982, and 1990, we apply this distinction to the family origins of the second generation, born in France in the period 1958–1990. We show that the pied-noir population exhibits signs of rapid integration with the native French, while the Maghrebin population remains apart. A logistic regression analysis reveals that, based on a few characteristics of their parents, one can distinguish the Maghrebin from the pied-noir second generations with a high degree of accuracy. This finding demonstrates the sharp social distinction between the two groups and suggests a method for future research on their incorporation.

Local Languages

This article analyses the role of language in the intra- and intergenerational social mobility of Argentinean, Colombian and Moroccan immigrants in Catalonia, an officially bilingual society. We start from the notion that the knowledge and use of and attachment to local languages are affected by the range and importance of opportunities for social mobility offered by the host society. Empirical evidence is based on 45 biographical interviews with members of first generation immigrant groups and their children (raised in Catalonia and currently living outside the family home). We show that the attitudes towards and use of the Catalan language depend on expectations and constraints with regard to upward social mobility. This article questions the causal relationship between languages spoken and job opportunities, postulated by means of the theory of human capital whereby language is only considered as a competitive advantage on the basis of its communicative value.

Salah   satu   keunikan   masyarakat   Madura   sampai   saat   ini   adalah   konsep   kobhung   yang   menjadi   tempat  penting  untuk  aktivitas  keagamaan  maupun  mengawasi  aktivitas  anggota  keluarga.  Walaupun  ada  fungsi  lain  yaitu  fungsi  ekonomi  maupun  sosial  yang  dimainkan  oleh  kobhung  tersebut.  Riset  ini  membahas  peran  kobhung  di  tengah  kebudayaan  Madura;  yang  posisinya  berada  di  sebelah  Barat  (kiblat) taneyanlanjheng (halaman panjang) di setiap permukiman  penduduk.  Ia  berfungsi  sebagai  pusat  aktivitas  laki-laki  (suami)  untuk  melakukan  transfer  nilai  religi  kepada  anak-anak  atau  isteri  mereka.  Di  sisi  lain,  ia  juga  sebagai  simbol  pengawasan  dan  kontrol (panopticon) keluar-masuk anggota keluarga, terutama laki-laki (suami) atas perempuan (istri). Hal ini terlegitimasi oleh tradisi patriarkal di masyarakat Madura   yang   tercermin   dalam   konsep   bhupa’, bhabhu,   ghuru,   rato   sangat   kental.   Konsep   ini   merupakan  sebuah  referential  standard  kepatuhan masyarakat Madura terhadap figur-figur utama secara  hirarkis. Oleh sebab itu, riset ini mengurai dinamika budaya  dan  upaya  istri  dalam  memposisikan  diri  mereka  di  tengah  budaya  patriarkhi.  Riset  ini  lebih  masuk   pada   jenis   kualitatif   fenomenologi   yang   meneropong   dinamika   relasi   suami-istri   tersebut   melalui peran kobhung. Koleksi data yang digunakan adalah  tehnik  interview  dan  observasi;  sedangkan  analisis  data  memakai  analisis  interaktif  Miles  dan  Hubermann. Riset ini menemukan bahwa perempuan di panagguan tidak bisa lepas dari konsep “tri aksi”, antara   lain:   adhandhan, arembi’,   dan   amassa’(merawat  diri,  melahirkan,  dan  memasak).  Konsep  ini  merupakan  wujud  dari  pengabdian  dirinya  atas  keluarga   yang   diyakini   sebagai   kodrat   (takdir).   Karenanya,  mereka  sama  sekali  tidak  menggugat;  bahkan  ia  menerima  dengan  lapang  dada  tentang  perannya di dalam rumah tangga. Kata Kunci: Kobhung, TaneyanLanjheng, Panoptikon   One of the uniqueness of the Madurese community until  now  is  the  concept  of  kobhung  which  has  become an important place for religious activities and oversees the activities of family members. Although there  are  other  functions,  namely  the  economic  and  social  functions  played  by  the  kobhung.  This  research   discusses   the   role   of   kobhung   among   Madura culture; whose position is in the west (qibla) taneyan lanjheng (long yard) in each residential area. It  functions  as  a  center  for  male  (husband)  activity  to  transfer  religious  values  to  their  children  or  their  wives.  On  the  other  hand  it  functions  as  a  symbol  of  supervision  and  control  (panopticon)  of  family  members,  especially  men  (husbands)  over  women  (wives). This is legitimized by the patriarchal tradition in the Madurese community which is reflected in the concepts  of  bhupa’,  bhabhu  ,  ghuru,  rato  that  was  very  thick.  This  concept  is  a  referential  standard  of  Madurese    compliance    with    hierarchical    main figures.  Therefore, this research outlines the cultural dynamics and the efforts of the wives in positioning themselves during patriarchal culture. This research is more into the qualitative type of phenomenology that  looks  at  the  dynamics  of  the  husband-wife  relationship  through  the  role  of  kobhung.  The  data  collection   used   was   interview   and   observation   techniques; while data analysis used the interactive analysis  by  Miles  and  Hubermann.  This  research  found that women in Panagguan cannot be separated from  the  concept  of  “three-action”,  among  others:  adhandhan,  arembi’,  and  amassa’  (taking  care  of  themselves, giving birth, and cooking). This concept is a manifestation of the devotion to the family which is  believed  to  be  natural  (destiny).  Therefore,  they  don’t sue at all; they even received gracefully about their role in the household.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that attacks the lungs and other organs caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is one of the biggest contributors to death in the world. Various TB control efforts have been undertaken by the government but have not yet reached maximum results. In efforts to control TB, it takes the role of the family in caring for family members who suffer from TB. This study aims to determine the effect of health education on family behavior in TB prevention efforts in one district in West Sumatra. The sample of this study was the families of adult TB sufferers in Dharmasraya District who met the inclusion criteria of 30 people consisting of intervention and control groups. Data collection using a questionnaire. The results showed that there was an influence of health education on the family behavior of TB patients in efforts to overcome adult TB including pre-test knowledge (p value 0.044) and post test (p value 0.001), pre-test attitude (p value 0.325) and post test (p value 0.001 ), pre test (p value 0.348) and post test (p value 0.001). Health education can change family behavior in TB control efforts. It is hoped that further researchers will develop a family monitoring book for TB sufferers.

Succession Process

Purpose Many family businesses do not survive into the second generation. A common reason put forward for this is poor succession planning for the second generation. This paper is designed with the aim to explore the role of the father in supporting the son’s business knowledge and development in Vietnamese family businesses. Design/methodology/approach This research adopted an inductive qualitative approach using multiple face-to-face semi-structured interviews with five father–son succession pairs. The interview participants were a cross section of Vietnamese family businesses, where the father–son pair was involved in the process of business knowledge transfer and the succession process was at an advanced stage. Findings The results suggest that the father plays different roles at different stages of the son’s business knowledge development process. In particular, the father acts as an example during the son’s childhood; a supporter to encourage the son to gain more business knowledge from both formal education and working experience outside the family business; a mentor and trouble-shooter after the son joins the family business as a full-time employee; and as an advisor after the son becomes the leader of the firm. Originality/value Most Vietnamese family businesses are still operating under the control of the first generation, and as a result, research into the succession process in Vietnam can help to provide valuable insights. Furthermore, existing research into the role of the predecessor in the whole process from the successor’s childhood until the end of the succession process is ambiguous and requires further research to clarify this research gap.

The role of the modern pilot requires a high degree of situational awareness. This involves the ability to search for relevant information, assess opportunities and priorities, and maintain performance under stress. The PC-based WOMBAT™ test has been designed to measure individual aptitude to cope with such demands. In the first experiment performance on the WOMBAT test was compared with performance on a battery of tests of specific underlying abilities. In the second experiment the performance of elite soaring pilots was compared with that of matched pilot and control groups. The results support the theory that the WOMBAT test measures individual ability to maintain situational awareness and that this ability is found in high levels in elite pilots.
