The concept of citizenship was introduced to the Arab and Islamic region duringthe colonial period. The law of citizenship, like all other laws and regulations inthe Middle East, was influenced by the colonial legacy that impacted the tribal and paternalistic systems in all aspects of life. In addition to the colonial legacy, most constitutions in the Middle East draw on the Islamic shari’a (law) as a major source of legislation, which in turn enhances the paternalistic system in the social sector in all its dimensions, as manifested in many individual laws and the legislative processes with respect to family status issues. Family is considered the nucleus of society in most Middle Eastern countries, and this is specifically reflected in the personal status codes. In the name of this legal principle, women’s submission is being entrenched, along with censorship over her body, control of her reproductive role, sexual life, and fertility.

Purpose. The aim of this work is to study the characteristics of transformation that appeared in the sphere of family relations in the modern Ukrainian society. The main attention is concentrated on problems of asymmetry of family status. Technique. The methodology includes a comprehensive analysis and synthesis of existing scientific and theoretical material and formulation of appropriate conclusions and recommendations. During the study, we used the following methods of scientific knowledge: terminological, semantic, functional, systemic-structural, comparative legal. Results. The research process recognized that at the present stage of creation of a Ukrainian state more family is in the process of transformation than in decline. It has passed a long way of development and adaptation to diverse conditions of existence, characterized by flexibility and sustainability. Some family functions under the influence of objective conditions disappear, others persist, still others only appear. Scientific novelty. In the research process, a number of faults and reasons in the matter of the transformation of Ukrainian families. The inability of the spouses to overcome the crisis situation in the transition of families from one stage to the other can be connected with the psychological incompatibility of the spouses, the inadequate choice of a marriage partner, the inability of families to solve problems, the low level of socio-psychological adaptation. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used in law-making and enforcement activities while solving family household conflicts.

AbstractThis paper asks whether marriage decisions of unmarried mature couples are driven by the prospect of financial advantages for the later widowed after one partner has suffered a serious health shock. We hypothesize that, in contrast to traditional marriage models, such health shocks may induce unmarried couples to obtain economic benefits, such as survivors’ pensions in particular, through marriage in advance of one partner’s death. This question has not yet been studied empirically. Hazard models capturing unobserved effects are applied to longitudinal data of the German Socioeconomic Panel. It turns out that the probability of marriage after male partners’ health shocks can increase significantly depending on the amount of expected survivors’ pensions for the (likely) surviving female partners. In contrast, an increased probability of marriage after health shocks to women (depending on the expected financial benefits to men) was not found. These findings are supported by various robustness checks. Economic and political implications are discussed and the results are placed in an international context.

AbstractProgressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal syndrome (CBS) progress relentlessly and lead to a need for care. Caregiving is often burdensome. Little is known about the course of caregiver burden (CB) in PSP and CBS patients. Longitudinal analysis of CB in family members caring for PSP and CBS patients. Single-center longitudinal pilot study in 68 newly diagnosed patients with probable PSP and CBS (52 Richardson’s syndrome; 1 progressive gait freezing of PSP; 15 CBS). Demographic, educational, occupational parameters, family status, motor functions (UPDRSIII, Hoehn and Yahr Score, Tinetti) and neuropsychological performance (CERAD Plus, Frontal Assessment Battery) were assessed, as well as behavioral and neuropsychiatric impairments (Frontal Behavioral Inventory, Neuropsychiatric Inventory), activities of daily living (ADL) and caregiver burden using the Caregiver Strain Index (CSI), in most patients also the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI). Patients were followed up every 6 months for up to 2 years. Caregivers reported mild to moderate CB at baseline, which increased by 25–30% in 2 years and was significantly greater in PSP than in CBS. Risk for mental health problems increased over time, especially in female caregivers (depression). Important patient-related factors were apathy, aspontaneity, depression, irritability, disorganization, poor judgment, impairment of language, impairments in ADL, a high educational level of the patient and close family relationship. Behavioral symptoms and impaired ADL are the main patient-related factors of CB in PSP and CBS. CB can be severe and needs to be assessed repeatedly from the time of diagnosis to provide comprehensive support.
