The purpose of this study was the analysis of the effects induced by urban pressures on the socio-economic and territorial characteristics of the rural peri-urban areas in order to identify planning and intervention strategies aimed at enhancing the quality of agriculture and landscape. A survey was conducted in the surroundings of Parma on farms located in the vicinity of urban areas. The structural, productive and social characteristics of the family-farm units were analyzed. The survey updated an identical survey, carried out in 1986, in which it was examined a sample of 208 farms. The units surveyed were evaluated in two aspects: the “vitality”, which takes into account the structural characteristics (size, production, labour force, etc.), and the “stability”, in which a crucial role is played by the age of the conductor and the presence of a successor. It was found that only 28% of the original farm sample is still alive, one third has disappeared, 30% was absorbed by existing farms, 8% has been abandoned. The factors most favourable to the survival resulted those referred to the vitality, especially the physical and economic size of the farm, the presence of cattle, the percentage of land in property, the presence of young labour. Among the factors that predispose to the abandonment, the urbanization processes were found to be determinants, in terms of expansion of both the built-up area and of that planned as urbanisable. The research has highlighted the importance of the vitality of the farms together with a context that has maintained its original rural features. These combined aspects can better define what we call the resiliency of the landfarms system i.e. the capability of positively reacting to the variable modifications of the internal and external conditions.

Abstract In this research, biopsychosocial characteristics of people accused of sexual aggression against children/adolescents between 2012 and 2014, in three districts of the state of Pará, were identified and analyzed. Data were collected by consulting court cases and recorded on a form prepared by the research group for biopsychosocial characterization. The statistical treatment of the data involved the non-hierarchical k-means clustering method, with cluster analysis. The results revealed three distinct groups; some with certain similarities due to the biological characteristics observed (Afro-descendant men over the age of 30 years, without reported organic diseases), as well as psychological and social characteristics (men with defined occupation and work, living in urban areas, with aggression to the black victim and in the family context) and differences (schooling, alcohol abuse and physical or psychological aggression, victim sex and family attachment to the aggressor). Further studies may refine the preliminary conclusions of these analyses.

This study analyzed the transportation time of 119 ambulances, private cars, and taxis to arrive at the emergency room, and estimated the factors influencing the time using individual and household characteristics and emergency statistics from the 2018 annual data of the Korea Health Panel Study (Version 1.7). Out of 2,032 cases that were analyzed, 427 cases (21.0%) were brought by 119 ambulances; 1,276 (62.8%) by private cars; and 329 cases (16.2%) by taxis. On average, the 119 ambulances took 23.14 minutes, private cars took 25.06 minutes, and taxis took 19.01 minutes to reach the emergency room. The overall average was 23.68 minutes. Moreover, the difference between urban and rural areas was a statistically significant factor influencing the time for all three methods of transport. It took approximately 7-10 minutes longer in rural areas than in urban areas. In addition, the lower the income, the longer it took in the case of private cars. If the transportation time for ambulance services is efficiently managed in terms of economic and social characteristics or regional factors, the quality of the ambulance service is expected to improve significantly.

Human life is full of risk. In general one or few family members are earning to run the existence, and most of the family members are depending on the earning members. In the present world, a human may lose his life by many ways such as, by age, by accident, by diseases and so on no one compensate by anybody else. One can succeed an insurance company only when it retain their existing customers and attract new customers by providing good insurance services. For this purpose understanding of purchase behaviour of customers in the insurance sector is very important to improve the quality of existing schemes and to introduce new schemes in insurance products to attract new customers and it will lead to enhancing their market. Tamilnadu is one of the biggest states in India. There are 32 districts in the state of Tamilnadu, among them Cuddalore district is one of the important districts, since the number of villages is more in the region and most of them depend on agriculture for their livelihood. Awareness about insurance policies among rural people is lower than people in urban areas. The researcher will specifically consider life insurance products in the insurance sector. Hence the researcher has intended to assess the awareness level of rural people in the study area on various aspects of life insurance products. The researcher will analyse the purchase behaviour of rural people in the study area towards life insurance products.

Nowadays the tempest of the household not only raises acute disharmony between husband and wife but also has fatal consequences for the moral decadence of children. Therefore, it is felt necessary to examine family education in the book of Uqûd al-Lujjayn by Shaykh Nawawi to transmit objective steps in maintaining the stability of Islamic households to the community. This research is a type of literature study using a qualitative approach. From the results of the study, it was found that the purpose of family education is to care for the family from Hellfire with the approach of the science of jurisprudence and morals. Educators are fathers and mothers, while students are wives and children through the methods of instruction and habituation, question and answer, punishment and exemplary. The internalization of Shaykh Nawawi's family education is very relevant in modern families as a preventive measure from the threat of materialistic life style threats. Among them, optimizing the husband in playing his role as an educator for children and wife towards the inculcation of sharia values ​​and character education, not just fulfilling birth obligations. Likewise a mother establishes herself as a domestic worker and child educator. An ideal formulation of family education in realizing the quality of faith and piety not the quantity of thrones and possessions. But the concept of Shaykh Nawawi in intimidating children in giving orders needs to be synergized with typical modern children. For children who are hard-hearted, arrogant and egocentric, this concept is considered not accurate, so the relevance is not right. Likewise, direct punishment to children and wives is considered less relevant. Imposing punishment must be carried out procedurally with the principle of proportional and conditional sourced from the principle of min al-akhaffi ilâ al-asyad: starting from the lightest to the heaviest.

The criteria of the coordinate measurements quality at pilot-experimental production based on contemporary methods of quality management system and traditional methods of the measurements quality in Metrology are considered. As an additional criterion for quality of measurements, their duration is proposed. Analyzing the problem of assessing the quality of measurements, the authors pay particular attention to the role of technological heredity in the analysis of the sources of uncertainty of coordinate measurements, including not only the process of manufacturing the part, but all stages of the development of design and technological documentation. Along with such criteria as the degree of confidence in the results of measurements; the accuracy, convergence, reproducibility and speed of the results must take into account the correctness of technical specification, and such characteristics of the shape of the geometric elements to be controlled, such as flatness, roundness, cylindrical. It is noted that one of the main methods to reduce the uncertainty of coordinate measurements is to reduce the uncertainty in the initial data and measurement conditions, as well as to increase the stability of the tasks due to the reasonable choice of the basic geometric elements (measuring bases) of the part. A prerequisite for obtaining reliable quality indicators is a quantitative assessment of the conditions and organization of the measurement process. To plan and normalize the time of measurements, the authors propose to use analytical formulas, on the basis of which it is possible to perform quantitative analysis and optimization of quality indicators, including the speed of measurements.

This article deals with the results of study of species content and basic peculiarities of beaked mites-Phytoseiidae in plant associations of one of the regional centers of Ukraine. The species composition and distribution of mites-Phytoseiidae (Parasitiformes, Phytoseiidae) in plantations of Brovary town of Kyiv region were determined. Fourteen species of 8 genera of phytoseiid mites were found. Index of their existing and relative biotope connection of each registered species to vegetation types and plant species were computed. The study was conducted according to the results of material treatment on the territory of the mentioned city from 25 species of plants (16 species of hardy-shrub and 9 of herbaceous vegetations). The studies of distribution of plant-living mites-Phytoseiidae were conducted separately for hardy-shrub and herbaceous plants). The collection of faunistic material was executed during the vegetation of periods of 2011 and 2013. Within the city the collection of the material was conducted with hardy-shrub plants and herbaceous type of vegetation along the streets, in parks and squares of Brovary city of Kyiv region, district center, one of the satellite-cities of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. The study of species complexes characteristics of mites was conducted with usage of data calculated on the basis of frequency index (Is), degree of relative habitat confinedness (F) (Pesenko, 1982) and domination index Paliy-Kovnatski (Di) (Shitikov, 2003). Only on one species of plant (F=1) 6 species of mites-Phytoseiidae were found – T.сotoneastri on blue spruce, T. laurae – on common spruce, T. aceri – on ash-leaved maple, P. incognitus – on dog-rose, P. soleiger – on mulberry-tree, A. caudiglans – on sea-buckthorn. These species can be related to stenoecic. The mentioned species are stenotopic only in relation to the sample of plants from the plant associations of Brovary, as in other regions these species of mites can populate the other species of plants. The rest 8 species, being registered on two or more types of plants, are related to euryoecic. Among them there is a group of 6 species with “positive tendencies to population of plants”, owning the indicators of habitat confinedness 0<F<1: A. andersoni (0,92–0,96), A. rademacheri (0,85–0,96), N. herbarius (0,92–0,96), T. tiliarum (0,66–0,77), A. pirianykae (0,73–0,99), A. clavata (0,82–0,98). The rest species, E. finlandicus и K. aberrans, have the expanded range of indicators in relation to habitat confinedness (-0,71<F<0,55 и -0,16<F<0,88), that specifies on their ability to populate the big quality of species. E. finlandicus has the negative indicator of relative habitat confinedness in relation to the plants of herbaceous morphotype that serves confirmation of the ecological peculiarity of the species detected earlier. The data of relative habitat confinedness of mites to certain species of plants shows availability of stenoecic (T.сotoneastri, T. laurae, T. aceri, P. incognitus, P. soleiger, A. caudiglans) and euryoecic species (A. andersoni, A. rademacheri, N. herbarius, E. finlandicus, K. aberrans, T. tiliarum, A. pirianykae, A. clavata).

From earliest cities to the present, spatial division into residential zones and neighbourhoods is the universal feature of urban areas. This study explored issue of measuring neighbourhoods through spatial autocorrelation method based on Moran's I index in respect of achieving to best neighbourhoods' model for forming cities smarter. The research carried out by selection of 35 neighbourhoods only within central part of traditional city of Kerman in Iran. The results illustrate, 75% of neighbourhoods' area in the inner city of Kerman had clustered pattern, and it shows reduction in Moran's index is associated with disproportional distribution of density and increasing in Moran's I and Z-score have monotonic relation with more dense areas and clustered pattern. It may be more efficient for urban planner to focus on spatial autocorrelation to foster neighbourhood cohesion rather than emphasis on suburban area. It is recommended characteristics of historic neighbourhoods can be successfully linked to redevelopment plans toward making city smarter, and also people's quality of life can be related to the way that neighbourhoods' patterns are defined.
