The year 1973 was a breakthrough year in the development of architecture. It triggered a crisis in society as well as the end of a period of relative prosperity and wasting of energy, which until then did not constitute a limiting factor. The crisis has forced to seek a new and more efficient architecture. The following decades were each in their own way characteristic particular in how architects approached to reduce the energy consumption of buildings and how they resolved the relationship of the building to the surrounding and the environment at all. My paper maps ecological ideas in architecture in Slovakia on the background of broader context. Initial decade was about searching and experiments. Mainly theoretical and research projects appeared. In the following period, first projects implementing ecological ides were built, e.g. experimental residential house in Holíč or solar house in Levice. Ecological aspects in architecture ascended to the real centre of interest in Slovakia from the 90s. After the change of political situation, sustainability was perceived more intense, as evidenced by a greater number of ecological houses of this period. Alternative building materials as well as the effort to reduce energy consumption were the driving force to the design of new buildings. New ideas often associated with an endeavor to define an appearance of ecological architecture are observable in many buildings, e.g. clay houses or solar collector house in Zvolen. My paper documents the development of sustainable architecture in Slovakia from the first attempts to the standardization of sustainable architecture with characteristic examples of ecologically conscious architecture of mentioned periods.

This article examines the disease motif in Lu Xun’s “Diary of a Madman” (1918) and in Ding Ling’s “Miss Sophia’s Diary” (1928) in their historical and medical contexts. At its most fundamental, the contemporaneous Chinese conception of health was thermodynamic, vesting the utmost importance in the circulation of energies and substances. This conception had immense social importance because it provided part of the ideological scaffolding for the family structure. Inside the family, established responsibilities and hierarchies purportedly served to guide this circulation in ways supportive of health, and the same considerations charged family members with maintaining strict scrutiny of the family’s barriers against any potentially illness-inducing influences that might penetrate the family fortress. Written at a time when political, social, and scientific verities were crumbling in China, these diaries record the foibles and concerns of two diseased individuals who stand alienated from their families and their immediate surroundings. By focusing on this alienation, as well as on the shared interests of the diarists in boundary crossing flows and anthropophagy, this article suggests that these short stories can profitably be read as explorations of the anxieties facing this generation of young Chinese as they sought to make a world for themselves independently of their families. What these stories dramatize is that leaving the family behind might have medical ramifications in addition to social and financial costs. In the current covid-19 context, we may not need reminding that ideas about disease and health relate in important ways to how we think of the relationship between families, boundaries, and vulnerability.

The district of Aceh Barat Daya has 9 sub-districts, of which there are 3 sub-districts with the highest population, Susoh, Blangpidie and Kuala Batee. Increasing population in the sub-district, resulting in an increase in the number of transport movements that will affect road capacity. It is therefore necessary to model a revival of the movement in the sub-district, living in the area on the basis of its activity. Movement activity has 2 categories, namely mandatory and non-mandatory activities. Mandatory activity is the work and school activities undertaken by individuals, while non-mandatory activities are activities such as daily shopping, shopping that is not done daily, carrying and delivering children or other people, as well as other activities such as recreation, social visits, and other entertainment activities. This study aims to find out the pattern of the rise of household travel, based on the structure and income of the family in terms of mandatory and non-mandatory activities in Blangpidie, Susoh and Kuala Batee sub-districts. The results showed that in mandatory activity there was only 1 best model, that is in movement of family structure 2 children (Y2.a = -0,427 + 0,296X2 + 0,341X7). In this case the factors that influence the rise of movement of family structure on mandatory activity is the age factor and the number of motorcycle in the family. In non-mandatory activity there are 2 best model, that is in movement of family structure 2 child (Y2.b = -1,128 + 0,972X2 + 1,651X3) and movement of family income 3 million (Y4.b = -1,475 + 0,940X2 + 2,553 X3). In this case the factors that influence the rise of movements of family structure and income in non-mandatory activities is the factor of age and level of education.

From the research results found that there is a relationship between the level of education of the mother and the economic level of the family with the growth of children. Therefore, it is recommended that health workers and posyandu cadres are more active in providing information, counseling, and early detection of child development. Keywords: Maternal education level, family economic level.

Few studies have examined the familial configurations of adopted children and how these configurations differ from those of nonadoptees. As a result, this study examines the relationship between adoption status and inequalities in the family structure of children. Our results indicate that adopted children are more likely to live in nuclear families compared with nonadopted children. Part of this is driven by the comparatively limited presence of adoptees in single-mother, single-father, and other types of nonnuclear families. Foreign-born adoptees are more likely to live in nuclear families compared with U.S.-born adoptees, but adoptees from racial and ethnic minority groups are less likely to live in such families compared with their White counterparts. These race-ethnic inequalities in family structure are however moderated by foreign-born status. Accordingly, our results indicate that foreign-born Black and Hispanic children have the highest odds of residing in nuclear families among the U.S. population of adopted children.
