Longitudinal Case Studies

This paper presents preliminary findings from three longitudinal case studies forming part of ongoing doctoral research into the activities and dynamics of business-owning families as they address the tasks and issues required during their succession processes. Specifically, the paper qualitatively explores the nature, characteristics, and effects of family relationship dynamics in three family business systems undertaking the transfer of controlling ownership to the next generation (from father to son). A model is presented to describe the sources of anxiety “imperatives” and their management during transition processes. Conclusions are drawn about the characteristics of emotional dynamics in business-owning families and how these can, over time, hinder or help families manage these tasks.

Harmonious and stable family relations are undoubtedly an important component of victory in terms of epidemic prevention. Take the COVID-2019 (2019 new crown pneumonia epidemic) as the major public events background; 24,188 national samples were obtained based on a network survey. We selected gender, education level, occupation type, family scale, neighborhood relationship and psychological state as independent variables, and adopted multiple logistic models to assess the impact of major public events on family relationships and the characteristics of humanistic–regional attributes. The findings are as follows: (1) During the epidemic period, major public health emergencies effectively promoted the national residents’ family relationships. (2) The family relationships of national residents presented a high level in central China and a low level in the border areas of China, which is consistent with the spread of COVID-2019 in January and February. (3) Family relationship level averages between 2.201~2.507 among different groups when divided by occupation, age and education. The family relationship has improved, but the change is not drastic and the gap between various groups is not significant, so there is essentially no difference. (4) The impact of major public health emergencies on all families is nearly sudden and instant, so that family relationship changes are often also abrupt. (5) Educational level, family size and gender have a positive effect on the change in family relations, but this effect is weakened as family education level increases; while the anxiety of the interviewees and the neighborhood had a negative effect on the change in family relationship, this indicates that the better the neighborhood relations are, the more harmonious a family relationship is. The above research can provide an important scientific support and decision-making basis for the government to carry out community prevention work, respond to major public health emergencies and construct a family support social policy system in the future.

The task undertaken in this book, the development of a “third approach”to the issue of women’s oppression superceding both feminism and traditionalism,is much needed and much neglected in the Islamic movement.Specifically, Ahmad analyzes the impact of the introduction of hudud (Islamicpenal code) laws in Pakistan and makes policy recommendations for theirreform. Although his analysis is not limited in usefulness to Pakistan, it islimited, however, by several shortcomings in argument, structure, and language.Ahmad’s strong points emerge in his empirical study of Pakistani familylaw. While he attempts to refute the criticism that the hudud laws discriminateagainst women, he also recognizes that the application of these laws in alegal patchwork fraught with contradictions has not helped women. For example,the Family Laws Ordinance of 1961 requires all marriages to be officiallyreported but, with common and Islamic opinion being contrary, thislaw is frequently neglected. So when the hudud laws of 1979 made adulterypunishable, women living in Islamic but unreported marriages were reportedfor adultery by vengeful ex-husbands. This particular problem would be solved,Ahmad argues, by punishing such men for slander, a neglected aspect ofthe Shari‘ah’s approach to adultery which is to women’s advantage. He arguesfor an end to “this vicious circle of immediacy, adhocism and temporarysolutions” (p. 48) in the application of the Shari‘ah, and for a more creative,comprehensive reform. His use of statistics from Pakistani courts is an attemptto ground his analysis in the living reality of Pakistani women, anattempt which is only infrequently made by Islamist writers on women’s issues,who usually hide behind obscure generalizations about the ideal society.It is also edifying to see an Islamist writer admit that “we should notdoubt the intent and motive of those who talk on these issues and take adifferent position” (p. 11). Too often this debate over the status of womenresults in bitter and useless finger-pointing in which the advocates of changein women’s conditions are labelled “Western,” as if one had to be Westernto see anything exploitative about the present treatment of Muslim women.Unfortunately, Ahmad does not stick to his promise and succumbs to a defensivediatribe against his ideological opponents, calling them ‘‘crypto-colonialists’’and emphasizing their emergence from the upper classes.

Background: The evidence on the association between benevolent childhood experience (BCE) and depressive symptoms in students is complex. This study aims to explore the underlying mediation mechanism of BCE toward depressive symptoms and whether this link was moderated by the family relationship among Chinese undergraduates.Methods: From March 2021 to May 2021, a cross-sectional study was conducted in China, and 1821 undergraduates were recruited in this study. Participants were asked to complete a self-reported electronic questionnaire. The software SPSS PROCESS macro was used to test the mediation and mediated moderated modeling analysis.Results: Mediation analysis indicated that uncertainty stress (US) partly mediated the link between BCE and depressive symptoms (indirect effect = −0.47, 95% bootstrap CI = −0.55, −0.39). The indirect effect of the US accounted for 39.63% of the total variance in depression. Moderation analysis indicated that the association between the US and depressive symptoms was significantly modified by family relationships (interact effect = −0.019, P < 0.001). An integrative moderated mediation analysis indicated that the indirect effect from BCE to depressive symptoms through the US was also moderated by family relationships (interact effect = −0.012, P = 0.014).Conclusion: Uncertainty stress plays a key role in bridging BCE and depressive symptoms while the family relationship can buffer the impact of the US on depressive symptoms among Chinese undergraduates. Enhancing tolerance of uncertainty and improving family relationships are needed to protect undergraduates from depressive symptoms.

Writing this paper aims to determine the function and influence of the family on a child, young families as a result of marride will be accidentally influenced by child care, where ideal care will be seen at the time of loyalty, attention and attention of parents to children in order to grow into a better generation. However, being too young to get married will hamper the knowledge of young couples about ideal parenting. The purpose of this study is to describe the knowledge of parenting in young families, to describe the problems of childcare and to describe the forms of care for young families as a result of accidental marriage. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach. The results of this study are the lack of knowledge about ideal parenting, so that parenting has changed the function of young families into their grandmothers or sisters. Care for young families with problems is seen from three factors: parenting, actors playing and the obstacles faced while having children. There are four forms of parenting namely democratic parenting, authoritarian parenting, permissive parenting and parenting style. Different parents will apply different parenting styles as well. However, the mayor of a young family uses democratic nurturing because they prioritize the importance of children but remain under the supervision of parents, parents are more rational, realistic, open, and able to communicate well with children. Democratic parenting style is mainly used to produce characteristics of children who are independent, obedient, honest, good communication and cooperative with others. There are several important questions in this paper, first. What is the ideal childcare method. Second. What is the impact of parents' lack of attention on a child. Third. How is the solution to bring together families who are broken home. Interview, data collection, and documentation methods are used in this paper to obtain maximum and concrete results. So that this paper can be used as a solution for families who are experiencing problems both internally and externally.

The Impact

This chapter highlights the literature and research that focuses on ways in which family members of capital defendants are impacted by the death penalty process. Their pain and fear of the potential execution of their loved one is compounded by complicated grief, trauma, and stigma. Trauma can affect a person’s ability to function and may influence the family members’ interactions with the defense team. Defense teams may enhance their work with their client’s family members—and, ultimately, the social history narrative developed—by incorporating a trauma-informed approach. A trauma-informed approach will help the defense team better understand the impact of trauma and minimize the potential retraumatization of their client’s family members. While this approach may be a shift for defense teams, it could prove beneficial if they are better able to gather mitigation evidence from family members by gaining a fuller understanding of family members’ experiences of the death penalty.

This article examines the ramifications of the recent amendment to the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) Act 1976 (Act 164) in protecting the wellbeing of the family relationship involving interfaith marriage and other legal issues governing non-Muslim families. The amendment witnessed substantial reforms to section 51 of Act 164 pertaining to the divorce on the ground of conversion, increasing the age limit for child maintenance and adopting more flexible principles in dividing matrimonial assets. However, the focus will be on the impact of the amendment to section 51 of Act 164 due to its significant in changing the landscape of legal arguments pertaining to jurisdiction of the court in dealing with the subject matter in dispute, ranging from the divorce and other intense arguments pertaining to maintenance of wife, child custody and religious status of children. The study adopts qualitative study in elucidating relevant documents that comprised of statutory laws, articles in legal journals and decided cases where arguments leading to the need for the reform of those affected issues were well addressed.  Certain aspects of Islamic jurisprudence will be referred to and analysed in searching for authoritative and practical legal arguments within the existing legal framework.  Harmonisation of law is adopted whenever applicable when dealing with the resolution of conflict of laws.  It is hoped that this study will provide constructive argument and invaluable source of reference for the Malaysian civil court in disposing of interfaith family disputes when the law is fully enforced.
