<p><strong>Background: </strong>The Campanulaceae are a medium size family of flowering plants in the Dicotyledons, which is well represented in most of Mexico.</p><p><strong>Question: </strong>¿How advanced is the knowledge of the diversity, adequate taxonomic resolution and geographical distribution of a group of vascular plants of lesser economic and ecological relevance?</p><p><strong>Studied taxa: </strong>Members of the family Campanulaceae Juss.</p><p><strong>Studied site: </strong>Territory of the Republic of Mexico.</p><p><strong>Methods:</strong> The revision of herbarium specimens with the aid of information found in literature and internet allowed the integration of a catalogue of known members of the family and of their updated names. The obtained list was then subjected to a brief quantitave and phytogeographic analysis.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A list of 117 at least tentatively accepted species is provided together with data on known geographical distribution and brief additional information for each one. The state of Oaxaca proved to be the best represented area with 38 species, eight of which, as well as one genus (<em>Wimmeranthus</em>), are endemic to the state territory.</p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The study shows that the inclusive knowledge of the group still requires the discovery and description of a significant number of species, as well as a particular effort to clarify the correct taxonomic situation of several members of the family.

The genus Striga Loureiro (1790: 22) belongs to the family Orobanchaceae and comprises about 43 species (Omalsree et al. 2015) with the highest diversity in tropical Africa, where 28 taxa have been recorded and 22 of them are endemic (Mohamed et al. 2001, Fischer et al. 2011). In India, ten species were recorded so far including four recently described species, viz. Striga kamalii Omalsree et al. (2015: 166), S. indica Prabhu et al. (2013: 284), S. musselmanii Omalsree & V.K. Sreenivas (2018a: 99) and S. scottiana Jeeva et al. (2012: 79). Very limited information is available on the genus in India except some sketchy enumerations in the state floras and few geographical distribution reports (Hooker 1884, Gamble & Fischer 1923, Saldanha 1963, Matthew 1981, Sasidharan 2013). The taxonomic position of less known Indian species as S. densiflora Bentham (1835: 41) Bentham (1836: 363), S. masuria (Buch.- Ham. ex Benth. 1835: 41) Benth, (1836: 364), S. sulphurea Dalzell & A. Gibson (1861: 182) etc. is still not clear. As a result, majority of specimens deposited in various herbaria are misidentified and plants are often referred to unresolved names (S. sulphurea) in databases (e.g. The Plant List 2018).

The topic of this research is to study the geographical distribution of the shadow economy around the world, and in particular to study its state in the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The shadow economy is widespread in all countries of the world. The research topic is very relevant at the moment, during the period of digitalization of the economies of the countries of the world. The relevance of the study of the development of the shadow economy in the world is associated with the unstable, transitional state of the countries of the world. This instability is associated with the transition from industrial to post-industrial society. In the study of the theoretical part, the methods of analysis, grouping, sampling were used, in the study of the empirical part, the observation method, the method of expert assessment, comparative analysis were applied. Using modern research methods, we were able to reveal the most common causes of the shadow economy. The object of the research is the state of the economy of the Republic of Uzbekistan; the subject of the research is the factors influencing the emergence of the shadow economy, both in developed countries and in developing countries. Having studied the reasons for the emergence of the shadow economy in the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the authors put forward proposals for their reduction, in order to improve the state of the country’s comprehensive development.

The article is devoted to the activities of the public organization of the Chuvash ASSR, which launched its intense activity in the territory of the national region in the 30–40s of the 20th century. On the basis of unpublished sources contained in the State Historical Archive of the Chuvash Republic, the article analyzes the work of the Chuvash Regional Council of the Militant Atheists League (1927–1941) in the direction of anti-religious education in the family. The author notes that religious dogmata which for many centuries had been defining the marital sphere were subjected to criticism and persecution by the proletarians, which could not but affect the family values and principles in undereducated workers’-and-peasants’ families of the Chuvash. According to the results of the study, the state policy of the Soviet power concerning marriage and family is determined; the conclusion is made about a significant influence of this public organization on the family; attention is drawn on its positive aspects of work in lower class families of workers’ and peasants’ families of Chuvashia. At the same time, the article notes discontent with the cultural and religious transformations which were carried out among some of undereducated inhabitants of the Republic, especially female workers and peasants, who were afraid of possible families breakdown due to their equalization in rights with men, increased female political activity (the work of female sectors of the ACP(b) Women’s Department and territorial organizations of women’s movements as well as due to the social policy for protecting motherhood and infancy carried out by the Soviet power.

Addressing the gender issue is particularly relevant for independent States that have entered the path of market transformation. Today, changes in all spheres of our life require a new look at the role of women in the development of the state and society. The achievement of gender equality ensures the effectiveness of the current family policy, since it helps to strengthen the role and contribution of women and men to the development of the family institution. Addressing women's issues and democratizing society are two interrelated processes. Their essence is that in addition to ensuring equal opportunities for men and women, the prerequisites can be created for the emergence of new forms of expression and realization of women's interests in all spheres of life. It is stated by the authors that in Kazakhstan, it is important to form an individual approach to the formation of family policy, as the family plays an important role among all social institutions that affect the quality of human capital.

The purpose of the deliberations presented in this article is to assess the protection of agricultural property in the light of the Act of 11 April 2003 on shaping the agricultural system, taking into account its amendments of 2016 and 2019. In the author’s opinion, the provisions of this Act that serve the purpose of the protection of agricultural property should be interpreted in the light of the principles derived from Article 23 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and from the perspective of the intentions expressed in the preamble to this Act. However, the instruments contained therein serve mainly to regulate trading in agricultural property and to exercise the powers of the state acting with the help of a trustee in the dominium sphere, acquiring the ownership of agricultural land from private entities. It is therefore concluded that the “family holding” defined in the Act does not correspond in its normative form to the constitutional model, and the statutory protection granted to it is only apparent and ineffective.

Abstract Domestic violence is one of the most serious forms of violation of basic human freedoms and rights regardless of ethnicity, gender, religion, and status. A reflection on many international statistics shows that women are the most frequent victims of domestic violence. Based on the definition of the phenomenon of domestic violence, the forms of abuse, the manner how violence is treated, the possibility of children, men, extramarital spouses, brothers, sisters, and old people living in an extended domestic community, of also being victims is not excluded. Since domestic violence is not only a national problem but a worldwide problem, international organizations have worked towards the eradication of this phenomenon by sanctioning it in various international conventions. Also, the legal systems of many countries prohibit and sanction domestic violence by special laws obliging the state authorities to act in all situations when there are indications that there are direct or indirect violent acts in a family. In this paper, the authors present only the domestic violence against children as an evident problem in families, but which is often unreported. The legal frameworks of the Republic of North Macedonia and Republic of Kosovo are presented in this paper with the aim to describe the material-legal and procedural-legal treatment of domestic violence by pointing out the failure of the state authorities in implementing the laws on protection and prevention of this phenomenon. The authors take the approach of only treating the legal consequences of child abuse by parents that in both legislations is deprivation of parental rights for the violent parent. They conclude that the state authorities should intensify their work in taking control measures towards all the families where there are suspicions that the parental rights are neglected, and the child is abused. Because many cases of abuse have not been detected or reported, and in both countries a special study especially on domestic violence against children does not exist, the possibility that the number for this type of child abuse is great.
