Enantiopure ferrocene-1,2-disulfoxides: synthesis and reactivity

The rational use of directed deprotometallation, sulfur oxidation and sulfoxide/lithium exchange allowed the synthesis of enantiopure ferrocene-1,2-disulfoxide derivatives. Not only they represent the first members of this original family, but...

RIGHT OF MALE HEIRS TO THE ORIGINAL FAMILY RELATED TO NYEBURIN’S MARRIAGE TO LAND RIGHTS IN PERSPECTIVE BALINESE LAW OF CUSTOMS

The marriage of nyeburin changes the position of women into purusa and men into pradana. Then in terms of inheritance, the priority in the nyeburin marriage is the woman, but the status of the man who becomes pradana is questioned when nyeburin marriage ends and the status of the man is returned to his family of origin. This study aims to analyze the inheritance rights of men who do nyeburin’s marriage on inherited land in their origin family and to analyze the implications of inheritance rights of men who do nyeburin’s marriage in right and obligations of origin family. The research method used is normative legal research. In addition, the data collection technique used is the library study technique. The results of this study revealed that (1) a man who does a nyeburin marriage will lose his right to inherit in his family of origin because of a change in his status to pradana in his wife's family. A man who does a nyeburin marriage will be considered to have left kedaton so that he has the same position as a woman who marries out. (2) Burden marriage has implications for the position of the husband so that here the husband follows the wife. The rights and obligations as husband and wife are still the same as in a normal marriage, only in a marriage where the wife's position is higher than that of the husband.

Adverse Childhood Experiences: Are They Associated With Greater Risk of Elder Abuse Victimization?

Though a growing number of studies have examined the associations between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and negative later-life health outcomes, the effects of these early life-course factors on elder abuse victimization have yet to be fully investigated. Using a life-course perspective, this study examines the associations between ACEs and elder abuse victimization. We used data from a cross-sectional survey conducted in Beijing, China. A total of 1,002 older adults were included in this study. Retrospective self-report items were used to measure ACEs and elder abuse victimization in later life. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were performed to examine the associations between ACEs and elder abuse victimization. Five types of ACEs (i.e., socio-economic difficulty of the original family, parental divorce, frequent quarrels between parents, frequent physical punishment by parents, and starvation) were associated with a higher risk of elder abuse victimization. After controlling for participants’ socio-demographic characteristics and adding these five types of ACEs simultaneously in the multivariate regression model, the poor socio-economic status of the original family (OR = 1.759, p < .05) and suffering frequent physical punishment inflicted by parents (OR = 2.288, p < .05) were found to be significantly associated with elder abuse victimization. To have multiple (at least 4) ACEs is a risk factor for elder abuse victimization as well (OR = 3.06, p < .001). This study provides evidence for ACEs as risk factors for elder abuse victimization. The findings highlight the importance of strengthening our understanding of the impacts of ACEs in both research and practice.

Fitting Compound Archimedean Copulas to Data for Modeling Electricity Demand

Modeling dependence between random variables is accomplished effectively by using copula functions. Practitioners often rely on the single parameter Archimedean family which contains a large number of functions, exhibiting a variety of dependence structures. In this work we propose the use of the multiple-parameter compound Archimedean family, which extends the original family and allows more elaborate dependence structures. In particular, we use a copula of this type to model the dependence structure between the minimum daily electricity demand and the maximum daily temperature. It is shown that the compound Archimedean copula enhances the flexibility of the dependence structure and provides a better fit to the data.

Generating fuzzy sets from the families of sets

The main purpose of this paper is to establish a mechanical procedure to determine the membership functions using the data collected from the economic and engineering problems. Determining the membership functions from the collected data may depend on the subjective viewpoint of decision makers. The mechanical procedure proposed in this paper can get rid of the subjective bias of decision makers. The concept of solid families is also proposed by regarding the sets in a family to be continuously varied. The desired fuzzy sets will be generated in the sense that its α-level sets will be identical to the sets of the original family. In order to achieve this purpose, any arbitrary families will be rearranged as the nested families by applying some suitable functions to the original families that are formulated from the collected data.

ADVOKASI MAYORITAS MUSLIM TERHADAP MINORITAS HINDU DI SIDOARJO

This study explored an advocacy of Muslim majority on Hindu Minority in Sidoarjo. The Muslim majority group maintained and protected the Hindu minority group in Krembung community. The Hindu group has very little adherents but they could grow to have a house of worship with a large land area in the East Java region. Most followers came from outside the area. This phenomenon looked unique since the Hindu people living in the temple area are very few and even dominated by immigrants from Bali. There was only one original family and the local indigenous population. The rest were immigrants and followers who came from outside the area. This study attempted to explain the forms of advocacy occurring in the area and factors encouraged the majority to advocate the minority. The analysis method uses advocacy and pro-social theory approaches. To enrich data collection, this study uses field studies which are also accompanied by interviews, observations and documentation. The study revealed that there were some forms of advocacy carried out by Muslim majority on Hindu minority in the form of mutual protection in various fields, including economic, social and the existence of each group. The birth of awareness to build advocacy through various activities was described.

The effectiveness of self-differentiation training on improving family process and content in demanding couples of contested divorce

Aim: The purpose of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of self-differentiation training on improving family process and content in demanding couples with contested divorce. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test and two-months follow-up with control group was used. The statistical population included couples who mutually consented for divorce, and had referred to the counselling clinic of Behravan in Qazvin in 2018. Ten couples (20 participants) were selected through purposeful sampling and assigned in experimental and control groups. Research tools included Samani’s (2008) family process and content questionnaire. Self-differentiation was administered for the experimental group in 10 weekly 90-minute sessions. The changes of family process and content was measured in posttest and follow-up and data were analyzed by repeated measurement. Results: Results indicated that self-differentiation significantly have promoted family process (P<0.01, F=21.14) and family content (P<0.01, F= 23.32). This effect was observed in follow-up, and four couples gave up the divorce requests (P>0.01, t= 0.01). Conclusion: self-differentiation training, thorough empowering couples, helps in moderating between reason and emotions; while differentiaton of self from original family, affects the functions of family process and content. Therefore, it can be used as an efficient psycho-educational package for improving the functions of family process and content in divorce demanding couples, and may helpprevent divorce.

The Stress Responses of Unemployment in Tourism Industry of China

Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak, problems brought about by the resultant widespread unemployment have drawn great attention. The tourism industry is one of the bitter victims of this situation as, besides hardware facilities, the biggest asset of the tourism industry is its Human Resource. The major calamity for those who encounter a job loss is an unhealthy psychological state. This study examines the influence of unemployment on the psychological health of employees in the Tourism Industry of China after the COVID-19 outbreak. The findings of this study suggest that the unemployed not only suffers from the lingering adverse effects in economic and livelihood terms but also in terms of devastating physical and mental impact on their family and society. We adopt the stress theory to make a comparison in the intensity of stress due to unemployment in the presence and absence of mediators, namely financial status and marital status by Path analysis, aiming to provide inspirations for practitioners and policymakers. This study shows that the negative psychological effects of unemployment can be diluted if the original family is maintained in a stable and harmonious way as the over occupying job responsibilities and no job at all fosters the same potency of work-family conflict.
