Widowhood of older women in Poland is an important research topic, especially for two reasons. First, widowed women constitute a relatively large subpopulation in the country. Second, the research conducted in other European countries showed that widowhood is related to a higher risk of poverty among women in older age groups. In the paper, I analyze the material situation of older widows in Poland and determine what factors are related to a higher risk of financial problems among them. In particular, I investigate a role of survivor’s pension for women’s material situation. I use data from the first wave of the Generations and Gender Survey, conducted in Poland (GGS-PL). The sample consists of widowed and married women aged 60–79, living in Poland. I apply the logistic regression analyses and use different measures of financial hardship. Regardless of which measure is used, the results showed that in comparison to marriage, widowhood is related to a higher risk of material deprivation among older women. Survivor’s pension does not mitigate this risk completely, but it is related to a significantly lower risk of a severe material deprivation.

Children?s attribution of emotions to a moral transgressor is an important research topic in the psychology of moral and emotional development. This is especially because of the so-called Happy Victimizer Phenomenon (HVP) where younger children attribute positive emotions to a moral transgressor described in a story. In the two studies that we have conducted (children aged 5, 7 and 9, 20 of each age; 10 of each age in the second study) we have tested the possible influence of the fear of sanctions and the type of transgression (stealing and inflicting body injuries) on the attribution of emotions. Children were presented with stories that described transgressions and they were asked to answer how the transgressor felt. The fear of sanctions did not make a significant difference in attribution but the type of transgression did - more negative emotions were attributed for inflicting body injuries than for stealing. Positive emotions were explained with situational-instrumental explanations in 84% of cases while negative emotions were explained with moral explanations in 63,5%. Girls attributed more positive emotions (61%) than boys (39%). However, our main finding was that, for the aforementioned age groups, we did not find the HVP effect although it has regularly been registered in foreign studies. This finding denies the generalizability of the phenomenon and points to the significance of disciplining styles and, even more so, culture for children?s attribution of emotions to moral transgressors.

It is seen that the mother character and strong female roles are included in the recent Turkish films. In this sense, it is seen that the roles of the mothers as the gatherer of the family are related to the communication processes within the family. The language and discourse of the mother character in the family communication processes were investigated by examining the representations of the mother character in cinema films and Turkish society. It has been researched that the mother character is mostly used in the cinema series through the representations of the family as binding, restorative, fusing, and solution producer in the family communication processes. It is also important to understand the discourse language and social change processes of recent cinema films about how the character of the mother's character in discourse language and its role in family communication processes are represented and included in the films. The representations of women in the films through the role of mother constitute an important research topic through the family.

The role of children in Merovingian society has long been downplayed, and the study of their graves and bones has long been neglected. However, during the past fifteen years, archaeologists have shown growing interest in the place of children in Merovingian society. Nonetheless, this research has not been without challenges linked to the nature of the biological and material remains. Recent analysis of 315 children’s graves from four Merovingian cemeteries in northern Gaul (sixth to seventh centuries) allows us to understand the modalities of burial ritual for children. A new method for classifying children into social age groups shows that the type, quality, quantity, and diversity of grave goods were directly correlated with the age of the deceased. They increased from the age of eight and particularly around the time of puberty. This study discusses the role of age and gender in the construction and expression of social identity during childhood in the Merovingian period.

In the industrial manufacturing process, most kinds of surfaces are processed by planar materials, but undevelopable surfaces are difficult develop to the plane. The approximation algorithms to develop a undevelopable surface is an important research topic in Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD). In this paper, we propose a new approximation algorithms based optimization algorithm. We guarantee the deformation vector make the minimum changes during the developing process. In the paper, some numerical example are given and the can illustrate the our method is effective.

Agriculture continues to be quite a debate for the last two and a half decades at least at the European level and for Romania Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reforms has a big impact in developing the convergence to the European agricultural model. Agriculture becomes nowadays a multirole economic sector, with major implications on rural community's sustainability and on food security assurance. In this context, the transformations in European agricultural economy, rural communities and food sustainability in context of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reforms represent an important research topic in the context of EU-28 policy diversification from the larger context of Romanian approach.

The Relationship

Traditionally, the relationship between the company and its providers have for objective to generate value at the company side in exchange of money. This relationship is largely investigated through the vector of value chain. In this article, security and privacy cocreation (SPCC) is investigated as a specialization of value cocreation. Although it is an important research topic, and despite a plethora of research aiming at depicting the fundamental of SPCC, few contributions have been appeared until now in the area of a language to support SPCC design and deployment. However, such a language is necessary to describe elements of the information system, as well as their underlying dependencies. As a result, this article proposes extending an existing enterprise architecture language to support the process of decision-making and to allow understanding and analysis of the impacts associated to a change of the system architecture as a whole.

The construction of vertex-disjoint paths (disjoint paths) is an important research topic in various kinds of interconnection networks, which can improve the transmission rate and reliability. The k-ary n-cube is a family of popular networks. In this paper, we determine that there are m2≤m≤n disjoint paths in 3-ary n-cube covering Qn3−F from S to T (many-to-many) with F≤2n−2m and from s to T (one-to-many) with F≤2n−m−1 where s is in a fault-free cycle of length three.

Desulfurization (removal of S compounds) of fuels is an important research topic in recent years. Several techniques have been reported to remove the sulfur-containing compounds in fuels. One of these techniques is adsorptive desulfurization (removal based on chemisorption and physisorption), which has received much attention because of low energy consumption and facile operation condition. This chapter discusses the methods employed under this technique and the types of nanocomposites and hybrid materials (adsorbents) that have been investigated as potential adsorbents. The strategies to enhance sulfur adsorption capacity and main challenges will be discussed.

The connectivity and diagnosability of a multiprocessor system or an interconnection network is an important research topic. The system and interconnection network has a underlying topology, which usually presented by a graph. As a famous topology structure of interconnection networks, the n-dimensional leaf-sort graph CFn has many good properties. In this paper, we prove that (a) the restricted edge connectivity of CFn (n ≥ 3) is 3n − 5 for odd n and 3n − 6 for even n; (b) CFn (n ≥ 5) is super restricted edge-connected; (c) the nature diagnosability of CFn (n ≥ 4) under the PMC model is 3n − 4 for odd n and 3n − 5 for even n; (d) the nature diagnosability of CFn (n ≥ 5) under the MM* model is 3n − 4 for odd n and 3n − 5 for even n.
