The best interests of the child in the project of the Family Code – a semantic analysis of the concept ABSTRACT The aim of the article is a semantic analysis of the concept of the best interests of the child appearing in the draft of the new Family Code. The research material is a legal document, though it was analysed from an interdisciplinary perspective. The main research question was the following: what meanings constitute the content dominant of the best interests of the child concept, and which appear rarely, if there are any dilemmas, discrepancies, and critical points related to the concept of the best interests of the child. Six separate networks were created (equivalents, terms, associations, oppositions, descriptions of actions, and descriptions of actions regarding the best interests of the child), which, after being put in order created the semantic field of the concept of the best interests of the child. This way, the real meaning and clusters of associations related to the analysed concept were found. Each network is described separately. Based on the analysis –by using the semantic network – a detailed definition of the best interests of the child existing in the draft of the new Family Code was determined.

The article takes as its starting point the public debate about the newly proposed Family Code in Slovenia in 2009. Inter alia, the Code introduced a new, inclusive definition of the family in accordance with the contemporary pluralisation of family life. This raised a number of questions about how – if at all – various families are addressed in the process of preschooleducation in public preschools in Slovenia. We maintain that the family is the child’s most important frame of reference. It is therefore necessary for the preschool community to respect family plurality and treat it as such in everyday life and work. In addition, preschool teachers and preschool teacher assistants are bound by the formal framework and the current curriculum, which specifies that children in preschools must be acquainted with various forms of families and family communities. This also implies that parents – despite their right to educate their children in accordance with their religious and philosophical convictions – have no right to interfere in the educational process and insist on their particular values, such as the demand that some family forms remain unmentioned.

Abstract A feature-based product modeling system is introduced where the user can incrementally create and modify product families. Product family and feature descriptions are coded in a special definition language and can be easily added and modified by the user. The descriptions include dynamically maintained constraints. The definition language description of a new family can be automatically created on the basis of a recognized prototypical instance. A stored design history can be used for generating the geometry definition of the family.

ABSTRACTThe 2004 reform of the family code in Morocco has been held as one of the most significant liberal reforms undertaken in the country, and has led scholars and policy makers to argue that this demonstrates the democratic progress Morocco and the King are making. At the same time, the role of the women's movement in getting the reform approved has seemingly confirmed that associational life is crucial in promoting democratisation. This paper, building on theoretical work questioning the linkage between a strong civil society and democratic outcomes, argues that civil society activism does not necessarily lead to democratisation, and may reinforce authoritarian practices. Far from demonstrating the centrality of civil society, the process through which the new family code was passed highlights the crucial institutional role of the monarch, whose individual decision-making power has driven the whole process. Authoritarianism finds itself strengthened in Morocco despite the liberal nature and outcome of the reform.

The aim of this article is to pay attention to difficult situations of con­temporary families. The author has con­ducted research of people who decided to emigrate and analyze family reasons of those decisions. In this article poses the question about the types of difficult situations experienced by the families of people with varying immigration deci­sions. Usually the literature provides the following types of difficult situations: the situation of deprivation, the overload­ing situations, the impediments situ­ation, the situation of conflict and the situation of danger. The main research question is: Are there any differences in the experience and perception of the dif­ficult situation for the family by people determined to emigrate and not interest­ed in emigration? Specific research ques­tions are: What situations are perceived as threatening, impeding or do not con­stitute a threat to the modern family? Is there a relationship between subjective perception of threats to the family and the decision of emigration. Which of the situation, create a sense of danger? In the present study author deepens the analysis – looking for factors that may be called family stressors (workloads or threats) and checks their relationship with the decision to emigrate. There are differences in the experience and per­ception of the difficult situation for the family by people determined to emigrate and not interested in emigration. There are also relationship between the deci­sion of emigration and sense of danger in own family.

Введение. Рассмотрены семантико-когнитивные и функционально-прагматические особенности соматизмов в текстах русских фольклорных лирических песен. Объект научного описания ‒ семантика соматизмов как маркеров национальной идентичности, получающая концептуальное осмысление в связи с ее исследованием в аспекте жанрово-дискурсивного своеобразия лирических песен. Цель ‒ изучить соматический код, эксплицированный лексемой-соматизмом голова, в фольклорном фрагменте русской картины мира с учетом жанрово-дискурсивной обусловленности функционирования этой лексемы. Материал и методы. Материалом исследования выступили 127 текстов русских фольклорных лирических песен, содержащих лексему-соматизм голова, отобранных путем сплошной выборки из сборника лирических песен. Использованы методы наблюдения, количественный и лексико-семантический анализ, а также элементы дискурсивного и концептуального анализа. Результаты и обсуждение. Отправной точкой исследования стал тезис о наличии у соматизмов не только языкового, речевого, но и лингвокультурологического и лингвокогнитивного статуса. Соматизмы определяются в качестве лингвистических маркеров культурного кода русской идентичности и фрагмента национальной картины мира. В значении большинства русских соматизмов присутствует ярко выраженный национально-культурный компонент смысла. Лексема-соматизм голова принадлежит к контенту особо значимых соматизмов, поскольку в языковой картине мира реализует важные для понимания ментальности русского народа концептуальные представления: «хозяин семьи» (во главе семьи), «главное лицо в доме» (во главе стола), «черта национального характера» (буйна головушка) и пр. Данные толкования имеют специфику реализации в лирических песнях разной жанрово-дискурсивной природы. Последний параметр определяется в качестве экстралингвистического, связанного непосредственно с тематическим содержанием каждого конкретного текста. В числе жанровых разновидностей лирических песен анализируются любовные, семейные, военные, рабочие, антиклерикальные, ямщицкие, бурлацкие лирические песни, песни о деревенских праздниках, о житейской доле. Обнаружены также общие черты, отражающие функционирование соматизма голова в текстах лирических песен в целом, которые обусловлены лиризмом особого рода: проникновенностью, рефлексивностью, обостренностью чувствований автора, предельным субъективизмом повествования. Заключение. Изучение соматизмов в аспекте культурологической маркированности позволяет обозначить специфику их семантики, прагматики и функционирования в текстах разной жанрово-дискурсивной направленности. Интерпретация соматического кода русской культуры посредством обращения к анализу соматизмов углубляется и объективируется в контексте жанрово-дискурсивного подхода. Introduction. The article is devoted to the consideration of the semantic-cognitive and functional-pragmatic features of somatisms in the texts of Russian folklore lyric songs. The object of scientific description is the semantics of somatisms as markers of national identity, which receives conceptual comprehension in connection with its study in the aspect of genre-discursive originality of lyric songs. Aim and objectives. The aim of the research is to study the somatic code, explicated by the lexeme-somatism head in the folklore fragment of the Russian picture of the world, taking into account the genre-discursive conditionality of the functioning of this lexeme. Material and methods. 127 texts of Russian folklore lyric songs containing the lexeme-somatism head, selected by continuous sampling from a collection of lyric songs were used as the research material. The main research methods are observation methods, quantitative analysis, lexical-semantic analysis, elements of discourse and conceptual analysis are used. Results and discussion. The starting point of the study was the thesis that somatisms have not only linguistic, speech, but also linguoculturological and linguo-cognitive status. Somatisms are rightfully defined as linguistic markers of the cultural code of Russian identity and a fragment of the national picture of the world. In the meaning of most Russian somatisms, there is a pronounced national-cultural component of meaning. The lexeme-somatism head belongs to the content of especially significant somatisms, since in the linguistic picture of the world it implements conceptual concepts that are important for understanding the mentality of the Russian people: «the owner of the family» (at the head of the family), «the main person in the house» (at the head of the table), «trait of a national character” (rave head), etc. These interpretations have the specificity of implementation in lyric songs of different genre and discursive nature. The last parameter is defined as extralinguistic, related directly to the thematic content of each specific text. The last parameter is defined as extralinguistic, related directly to the thematic content of each specific text. Among the genre varieties of lyric songs are analyzed love, family, military, workers, anticlerical, coachman, burlak lyric songs, songs about village holidays, about everyday life. The study also revealed common features that reflect the functioning of the head somatism in the lyric songs in general. These features are due to a special kind of lyricism: penetration, reflexivity, heightened feelings of the author, the ultimate subjectivism of the narrative. Conclusion. The study of somatisms in the aspect of their culturological marking makes it possible to identify the specifics of their semantics, pragmatics and functioning in texts of different genre and discursive orientation. The interpretation of the somatic code of Russian culture by means of an analysis of somatisms is deepened and objectified in the context of the genre-discursive approach.

Purpose. The purpose of the study is ways to protect the interests of family law and the need to formulate scientifically sound recommendations for improving the current legislation of Ukraine in the field of family law interests. Methodology. The technical and legal method was used in the study of ways to protect interests in family law. Scientific novelty is that the article states that the list of ways to protect family interests should go beyond the Family Code, be open, which determines the possibility of their protection in other ways not prohibited by law. The article also proves that in determining the child's place of residence, the main issue is to decide what is best for the interests of the child, and not the presumption in favor of the mother. It is argued that the essence of the principle of the best interests of the child is manifested in the priority consideration of the interests of the child in the parents, legal representatives of the child, authorities, courts and other persons to meet any of its needs (depending on age, health, gender and specifics of child development). The author proves that the principle of the best interests of the child includes the principle of the welfare of the child, and this eliminates the need to distinguish them as separate legal categories. Results. The article analyzes the problems of using methods of protection of family law interests. The author proves that the interest in family law is protected in the same ways as subjective family law. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used in lawmaking to improve legislation in the field of legal regulation of the category of interest; in the educational process - in the development of textbooks, teaching materials on the subject "Family Law of Ukraine".

In the summer of 1976, a mysterious epidemic of fatal respiratory disease in Philadelphia launched an intensive investigation that resulted in the definition of a new family of pathogenic bacteria, the Legionellaceae. In retrospect, members of the family had been isolated from clinical specimens as early as 1943. Unsolved epidemics of acute respiratory disease dating to the 1950s were subsequently attributed to the newly described pathogens. In the intervening years, the Legionellaceae have been firmly established as important causes of sporadic and epidemic respiratory disease. The sources of the infecting bacteria are environmental, and geographic variation in the frequency of infection has been documented. Airborne dissemination of bacteria from cooling towers and evaporative condensers has been responsible for some epidemics, but potable water systems are perhaps more important sources. The mode of transmission from drinking water is unclear. The Legionellaceae are gram-negative, facultative, intracellular pathogens. The resident alveolar macrophage, usually an effective antibacterial defense, is the primary site of growth. Cell-mediated immunity appears to be the most important immunological defense; the role of humoral immunity is less clear. Erythromycin remains the antibiotic of choice for therapy of infected patients, but identification and eradication of environmental sources are also essential for the control of infection.

Abstract The article examines child protection when travelling abroad with only one parent or someone who is not a parent or a guardian set by national and EU legislation. It analyzes cases when one of the parents does not allow their child to travel abroad with the other one. Methods of protecting the children’s best interests, as well as introducing the substitute consent have been presented. The development of the European Union’s legislation and case-law on the subject are scrutinized. The study also covers the national legislation of the Republic of Bulgaria in the field of protecting the child’s interests. The preconditions that have led to the legislative initiative on the adoption of Art. 127a of the Family Code referring to the court’s consent to a child travelling abroad with only one of the parents are analyzed. Next, there are prerequisites leading to the adoption of the Interpretative Decision No 1 of 03.07.2017 at a General Meeting of the Civil Division of the Supreme Court of Cassation of the Republic of Bulgaria, which develops the framework in the field of granting a court permit for child’s travelling. What is examined are the exact interests of the child that should be protected when the court gives the consent substituting the parental one. The case-law of the subject is followed in order to maximize its improvement in the protection of the rights and interests of the children living with one of their parents.

Abstract We introduce and compute the generalized disconnection exponents$$\eta _\kappa (\beta )$$ η κ ( β ) which depend on $$\kappa \in (0,4]$$ κ ∈ ( 0 , 4 ] and another real parameter $$\beta $$ β , extending the Brownian disconnection exponents (corresponding to $$\kappa =8/3$$ κ = 8 / 3 ) computed by Lawler, Schramm and Werner (Acta Math 187(2):275–308, 2001; Acta Math 189(2):179–201, 2002) [conjectured by Duplantier and Kwon (Phys Rev Lett 61:2514–2517, 1988)]. For $$\kappa \in (8/3,4]$$ κ ∈ ( 8 / 3 , 4 ] , the generalized disconnection exponents have a physical interpretation in terms of planar Brownian loop-soups with intensity $$c\in (0,1]$$ c ∈ ( 0 , 1 ] , which allows us to obtain the first prediction of the dimension of multiple points on the cluster boundaries of these loop-soups. In particular, according to our prediction, the dimension of double points on the cluster boundaries is strictly positive for $$c\in (0,1)$$ c ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) and equal to zero for the critical intensity $$c=1$$ c = 1 , leading to an interesting open question of whether such points exist for the critical loop-soup. Our definition of the exponents is based on a certain general version of radial restriction measures that we construct and study. As an important tool, we introduce a new family of radial SLEs depending on $$\kappa $$ κ and two additional parameters $$\mu , \nu $$ μ , ν , that we call radial hypergeometric SLEs. This is a natural but substantial extension of the family of radial $$\hbox {SLE}_\kappa (\rho )s$$ SLE κ ( ρ ) s .

The subject of this research is the problems of multi-child families in rural areas of Vilyuysky District of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). The article explores the definition of multi-child family, as well as federal and regional measures of their social support. The authors describe in detail the key problems currently faced by multi-child families. Assessment is given to the state support of such families. The main research method is the interview with multi-child families residing in Vilyuysky District of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia). The selection of families for participation in the interview was based on the following criteria: number of children, age, level of education, and parents’ employment status. The main conclusions of the conducted research lie in the description of multi-child parenting from the perspective of rural multi-child families, and determination of trends of multi-child parenting in the region. The results of the research allow speaking of the fact that the dominant reproductive preference of the majority of women living in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) became the family model with three children. The percentage of children born in multi-child families among all children of the republic us 52.8%. The novelty consists in identification of the key problems experienced by multi-child families in the remote northern region. The authors thoroughly describe the financial, housing, pedagogical problems of such families.
