Resumo: O autor faz uma séria análise crítica dos grandes desafios que a família enfrentanos tempos atuais. Alguns dependem da organização das sociedades modernas. Outrassão de caráter antropológico e dependem das mudanças culturais, éticas e religiosas queestão acontecendo. Essas mudanças colocam em questão valores e horizontes de realizaçãohumana que orientaram durante milênios a conduta de homens e de mulheres em busca dafelicidade, mas também produzem sofrimentos e feridas abertas em muitas pessoas. Discute-sehoje: o que significa ser homem, ser mulher e por que não decidir o próprio gênero de modoautônomo e livre de condicionamentos biológicos e sociais? Não será melhor desfazer todosos vínculos que nos amarram, impedindo que sejamos livres para novas formas de realizaçãoque poderão aparecer no horizonte? É mesmo verdade que que a maternidade e a paternidadesão essenciais à realização humana de uma pessoa adulta? Ou, antes, não será isto umaimposição da cultura originada no passado e da qual hoje nós podemos nos libertar? Diantedessas perguntas, aumenta o número dos que manifestam certezas que nascem não daexperiência e, sim, de construções ideológicas. Nesse contexto, reconhece-se a importânciaa ser dada aos ensinamentos cristãos a respeito do matrimônio e da família.Palavras-chave: Família e mudanças; Desafios culturais; Consolidação da família.Abstract: The author analyses very critically the big challenges the family has to cope within the present times. Some result from the organization of modern societies. Other are ofan anthropological character and depend on the cultural, ethical and religious changesthat are going on. These changes defy values and horizons that for millennia guided thebehavior of men and women in their looking for happiness, but also do cause sufferings andopen wounds in many people. Today people question what does it mean to be a man, tobe a woman, and why not to decide one’s gender autonomously and without biological andsocial conditionings? Wouldn’t be it better to undo all the bonds that tie us, preventing usto be free to test new forms of realization that could appear? Is it really true that maternityand paternity are essential to the human realization of and adult person?Or, on the contrary, wouldn’t it be an imposition by a culture from the past and from whichwe could free us? Before these questions, grows the number of people who show certaintiesthat are born not from experience but, on the contrary, from ideological constructions.In this context, one acknowledges the importance to be given to the Christian teachingsabout marriage and family.Key-words: Family and changes; cultural challenges; consolidation of the family.

Formal Equality

In this paper, we identify the influence of formal equality—and more specifically, formal gender equality (that is, treating men and women the same)—in central areas of major Australian family law reform over the past 20 years. Given the influence of formal equality and our concerns regarding this trend, we consider whether equality-based arguments should be abandoned entirely, at least in the family law context, and explore alternative approaches that could reframe the debate.

Gender equality is still an interesting issue to be discussed today. Most people, especially those living in various regions in Indonesia, still misinterpret this. Gender equality is seen as an act that puts women first. In Christian circles, this thought is caused by Christian leaders in the past who gave teachings about gender who had unfair treatment between men and women. To provide a solution to these problems, the author uses qualitative research with the literature study method. The author finds that, gender is a characteristic that can be exchanged between each other and can be shared by both. Allah distinguishes the sexes but does not differentiate between the roles of the two. Thus, PAK plays a vital role in building gender understanding in the family and community, especially in the field of education, and in the field of education. AbstrakKesetaraan gender masih menjadi isu menarik untuk diperbincangkan hingga saat ini.  Sebagian besar masyarakat khususnya yang tinggal di berbagai wilayah di Indonesia, masih salah mengartikan hal tersebut. Kesetaraan gender seolah-olah dianggap sebagai tindakan menomorsatukan perempuan. Dalam lingkungan Kristen, pemikiran ini disebabkan karena adanya para tokoh Kristen di masa lalu yang memberikan ajaran tentang gender yang membuahkan perlakuan tidak adil antara laki-laki dengan perempuan. Untuk memberi solusi permasalahan tersebut, penulis menggunakan penelitian kualitatif dengan metode studi pustaka. Penulis menemukan bahwa, gender adalah sebuah karakteristik yang dapat saling dipertukarkan antara satu sama lain dan dapat dimiliki oleh keduanya. Allah membedakan jenis kelamin manusia tetapi tidak membedakan peran antara keduanya. Dengan demikian, PAK berperan penting untuk membangun pemahaman kesetaraan gender di dalam lingkungan keluarga, masyarakat khususnya di bidang pendidikan, dan di gereja.

The aim: To determine gender differences in the dynamic of family stress indicators in an open population of 25-64 years over a long-term period - 29 years in Russia / Siberia (Novosibirsk). Methods: Within the framework of the screening in 1988-89 under the WHO MONICA-psychosocial program (n=1676, 49.5% males, mean age 44.1±0.4 years), in 2003-2005 under the international project HAPIEE (n=1650, 34.9% males, mean age 54.25±0.2 years), in 2013-2016 (n=975, 43.8% males, mean age 34.5±0,4 years) and 2016-2017 (n=663, 41.3% years 51.95±0.32 years) within the framework of the budgetary theme No. AAAA-A17-117112850280-2, random representative samples of men and women in one of districts in Novosibirsk were examined. Family stress indicators were assessed using the questionnaire “Knowledge and attitude towards own’s health”. Results: In 1988, men were 7% more likely than women to report serious illness or death of close relatives in the past year. By 2016-17, the share of such persons decreased to 20.1% of men and 28.1% of women. Women more often than men reported changes in marital status over the past 12 months in 1988: married, divorced, left family, widowed, had a child, etc. The frequency of these changes was higher in the younger age group. In 2013-2015, these changes occurred equally often in men and women but their share decreased subsequently. The difference in the perception of conflicts in the family is present among men and women aged 25-64. In 1988, men more often than women believed that there were no serious conflicts in the family, especially in the younger age groups. Gender gap towards family conflicts is reducing among older participants. The proportion of women who reported family conflicts dropped significantly in 2013-2016 and 2016-17. It has led to gender parity in the frequency of family disagreements. Men more often than women reported that “something disturbs their rest at dwelling “. By 2017, the proportion of such persons increased, reaching the maximum levels (80-90%) among men and women in certain age groups. Conclusions: Women are more likely than men to report changes in marital status and conflicts in the family. Men are more often than women dissatisfied with rest at home. Gender differences are diminished with age.

The annual pilgrimage festival dedicated to the god Ayyappan has become immensely popular in the past sixty years. As many as fifty million pilgrims participate each year. This paper draws on interviews of pilgrims conducted in South India in 2012–2013. My fieldwork suggests that the increasing popularity of the event relates to the contemporary South Indian work environment, an environment in which traditional gender roles are being reshaped by the challenges posed by migration for work opportunities. Interviews of English-speaking pilgrims show that their interpretations of the pilgrimage festival highlight the complexities of manhood in a time of rapidly changing work roles for men and women. Specifically, my fieldwork demonstrates that pilgrims perceive Ayyappan as a source of aid for those who struggle to succeed as financial providers and heads of the family unit. Pilgrims anxious about the loss of traditional models of masculinity amidst rapid change find solace in the blessings the god Ayyappan yields.

Background: Investigation of rare bleeding disorders in Latin-America. Objective: The report of a new case of FX deficiency due to a compound heterozygosis. Methods: Accepted clotting procedures were used. Sequencing of DNA was carried out by means of Applied Biosystems Instruments. Results: A compound heterozygote due to the association of a new mutation (Gla72Asp) with an already known mutation (Gly154Arg) of the FX gene is reported. The proposita is a 38 year old female who had a moderate bleeding tendency (menorrhagia, epistaxis, easy bruising). The proposita has never received substitution therapy but in the occasion of a uterine biopsy. The mother was asymptomatic but was a heterozygote for the new mutation. The father was asymptomatic but had deserted the family and could not be investigated. After this abandonment the mother of the proposita re-married with an asymptomatic man and she gave birth to a son who was asymptomatic but was also heterozygous for the new mutation (Gla72Asp). As a consequence it has to be assumed that the first husband of the mother of the proposita was heterozygous for the known mutation (Gly154Arg). Conclusion: This is the third case of a new mutation in the FX gene reported, during the past few years, in Argentina.

The Right

This chapter discusses the right to avoid procreation and the regulation of pregnancy from a European perspective. The legal basis for a right to avoid procreation can be said to fall within the scope of several provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), an instrument that is binding for all European countries. Here, Article 12 of the ECHR gives men and women of marriageable age the right to marry and found a family in accordance with the national laws governing this right. However, Article 12 protects some elements of the right not to procreate, but for couples only. The lack of common European consensus in this area highlights how matters relating to the right to decide on the number and spacing of children touch on aspects that differ from country to country even in what could appear to be a homogenous region. In fact, the cultural, moral, and historical milieus that surround these rights differ considerably with diverse national perceptions of the role of the family, gender equality, religious and moral obligations, and so on.

Abstract Members of the adhesion family of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have received attention for their roles in health and disease, including cancer. Over the past decade, several members of the family have been implicated in the pathogenesis of glioblastoma. Here, we discuss the basic biology of adhesion GPCRs and review in detail specific members of the receptor family with known functions in glioblastoma. Finally, we discuss the potential use of adhesion GPCRs as novel treatment targets in neuro-oncology.

The Relationship

Exposure to interpersonal violence (EIV) is a prevalent risk-factor for aggressive behavior; however, it is unclear whether the effect of EIV on clinically significant aggressive behavior is similar across gender. We examined whether gender moderates the association between experiencing and witnessing interpersonal violence and the diagnosis of intermittent explosive disorder (IED). We also examined potential pathways that might differentially account for the association between EIV and IED in men and women, including emotion regulation and social information processing (SIP). Adult men and women ( N = 582), who completed a semistructured clinical interview for syndromal and personality disorders, were classified as healthy controls (HC; n = 118), psychiatric controls (PC; n = 146) or participants with an IED diagnosis ( n = 318). Participants also completed the life history of experienced aggression (LHEA) and life history of witnessed aggression (Lhwa) structured interview and self-report measures of emotion regulation and SIP. Men reported more EIV over the lifetime. In multiple logistic regression analysis, experiencing and witnessing aggression within the family and experiencing aggression outside the family were associated with lifetime IED diagnosis. We found that the relationship between EIV and IED was stronger in women than in men. Affective dysregulation mediated certain forms of EIV, and this relation was observed in both men and women. SIP biases did not mediate the relation between EIV and IED. EIV across the lifespan is a robust risk factor for recurrent, clinically significant aggressive behavior (i.e., IED). However, the relationship between EIV and IED appears to be stronger in women. Further, this relation appears partially mediated by affective dysregulation.
