The Impact

Marital happiness is an important symbol of social harmony and can help promote sustainable economic and social development. In recent years, the rapid rise of the divorce rate in China, a country where the divorce rate had previously been low, has attracted wide attention. However, few articles have focused on the popularization of information and communication technology's impact on China’s rising divorce rate in recent years. As a first attempt, the provincial panel data during the period 2001–2016 is applied to study quantitatively the relationship between mobile phone penetration and the divorce rate. In order to get more reliable estimation results, this paper uses two indicators to measure the divorce rate, and quantile regression is applied for further analysis. Additionally, one-year to five-year lag times of the mobile phone penetration are used as the core explanatory variables in order to analyse the lagging effect of mobile phone penetration on divorce rate. The result shows that the correlation between the mobile phone penetration and the divorce rate was statistically positive significant in China during the period 2001–2016. Furthermore, the paper also finds that mobile phone penetration had the greatest impact on divorce rate in central China, followed by eastern China, but it was not obvious in western China during this period. From a technological perspective, this paper provides some possible explanations for the rising divorce rate in China in recent years, and further enriches the relevant research on the impact of the development of information and communication technology on societal changes.

Objective: To study how divorce behavior in Denmark changed following a July 2013 reform that repealed mandatory separation periods for uncontested divorces, instead allowing for immediate administrative divorce.Background: Most countries have mandatory separation periods that couples undergo before they can divorce. Separation allows couples a grace-period, during which they may reconcile and stay together. Yet, the impact of separation periods on divorce risk remains understudied. Methods: Using monthly time series data on divorce rates from 2007-2018 (T=144), the research brief estimates the size and shape of the policy impact of the July 2013 reform. Using monthly administrative population data on all ever-married couples (N*T=40,431,848) the study further calculates the average characteristics of married couples in Denmark who would have remained together absent the reform.Results: After an initial spike in the divorce rate driven by couples divorcing earlier, the divorce rate settled at a 9.7 percent higher level compared to pre-reform. Couples who divorced because of the reform had been married for fewer years, were ethnic Danish, and had high school degree as highest educational level.Conclusion: Mandatory separation periods keep a minor, but substantial, share of potential divorcees together.

This chapter evaluates the impact of commodification of land and housing on the sustainability of the residential built environment. Commodification, an institutionalized practice in the western industrialized world, refers to the capacity of individuals to trade land and housing freely in the marketplace.  This practice is so commonplace that it rarely undergoes any fundamental analysis in terms of its potential impacts. In order to consider the appropriateness of commodification to sustainable communities this chapter examines its effect on three factors identified as being important to their viability: the existence of a commonly held normative framework; the capacity of a community to reinforce or discourage individual behaviour, and; the need for appropriate resource requirements.  The commodification of residential land and housing is found to encourage effects that may negatively impact upon the environmental and social sustainability of communities, and to potentially lead to their re-absorption into a less sustainable surrounding context. The paper also identifies a tendency of social and legal structures to protect the operation of the free market, which may act to undermine the capacity of communities to achieve self determination. Finally, it is suggested that the types of resources required by a community as a consequence of commodification may be inappropriate to the maintenance of long-term sustainability.

ABSTRACTBackground:Noticeable demographic changes have taken place in South Korea, with the general marriage rate decreasing and the average first age at marriage and general divorce rate increasing. The shown trends have contributed to intergenerational discordance in the perception of familial values, which is important in addressing the psychological well-being of parents. This study aimed to investigate the association between the marital status of offspring aged 40 years and over and the depression levels of parents.Methods:Data were from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA), 2006–2012. A total of 2,540 individuals with at least two offspring aged 40 years and over were included. Association between offspring marital status and parental depression scores, measured using the Center for Epidemiological Studies and Depression (CES-D 10) scale, was investigated using the generalized estimating equation (GEE) model. Subgroup analysis was performed based on offspring education level.Results:When parents with only married offspring were set as reference, parents with never married offspring (β: 0.27,p= 0.02), parents with separated offspring (β: 0.52,p= 0.03), and parents with never married offspring and separated offspring (β: 0.38,p< 0.001) showed increases in depression scores. In the subgroup analysis, these higher depression score effects were largely limited to parents with high school graduate offspring.Conclusion:It is important to monitor the mental health status of parents with never married, separated, or both never married and separated offspring as this group may be comparatively vulnerable to depressive symptoms.

Urbanization and modernization have effects on marital relationships in Nigeria which led to high divorce rate among legitimate couples prompting unstable environment. This situation design and uses scientific means to study the dynamics of marital relationships and their behavioural features to check excesses in marriage and to promote stability. A modified system of nonlinear fractional-order differential equations was used to categorize people of different personalities and different Impact Factors of Memory, using different sets of parameters. The equations predict and interpret the features of the union of different individuals with external circumstance(s). Equations were adapted to a local environment where data collections were carried out to investigate factors affecting marriages. Data collected by the use of questionnaire validate the model. An Iterative Decomposition Method was adopted to solve the fractional system in which fractional derivatives were given in the Caputo sense; the obtained results were interpreted appropriately. The modified model shows the trajectory of the couple from the state of indifference and as the impact factor memory increases it affects their togetherness making the love between them to decay easily. Numerical simulation results were presented to show the effectiveness of the model and the accuracy of the statements established. Keywords: Differential model, dynamical system, impact factors of memory, iterative decomposition method, marital relationship

ResumoEste trabalho objetivou verificar o impacto do custo da terra na rentabilidade da produção de madeira de Pinus. O setor florestal tem como característica fundamental gerar retornos financeiros em longo prazo, tornando muitas vezes o investimento na atividade um grande entrave a novos negócios. O preço da terra é uma variável que depende do retorno da atividade florestal, tornando necessário conhecer o efeito que o valor desse recurso terá sobre a rentabilidade. Para realizar uma estimativa da rentabilidade na atividade florestal, foram utilizados os critérios econômicos Valor Presente Líquido (VPL) e a Taxa de Interna de Retorno (TIR). Os resultados obtidos mostraram ser mais atrativa a não aquisição da terra, com VPL de US$ 5.584,00 e TIR de 18% ao ano. Já quando foi considerada a compra da terra, os resultados econômicos sofreram redução, com VPL de US$ 3.711,00 e TIR de 11% ao ano. A opção de arrendamento apresentou VPL de US$ 3.531,00 e TIR de 13% ao ano. Porém, antes de utilizar esses critérios como tomada de decisão, outros fatores devem ser avaliados, como o impacto da renda da reserva legal, melhor grau de utilização das terras e um manejo florestal adequado, visando aumentar a receita com a obtenção de novos produtos e maior produção das florestas.Palavras-chave: Rentabilidade econômica; preço da terra; manejo florestal; pínus. AbstractThe effect of land cost in the forest profitability: a case study for Santa Catarina. This research aimed to ascertain the impact of land cost land on profitability of Pinus spp. timber production. The forestry sector has as key feature to generate financial returns in the long term, often making the investment activity in a large barrier to new business. The price of land is a variable that depends on the return of forest activity, making it necessary to know the effect that the cost of this resource will have on profitability. In order to estimate return on forest activity, it uses economic criteria, like Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). The results proved to be more attractive the non-acquisition of land, with NPV of US$ 5.5804,00 and IRR of 18% per year. Considering the investment in land (purchase or lease), the economic results have suffered reduction with NPV of US$ 3.711,00 and IRR of 11% per year. The lease of land presented a NPV of US$ 3.531,00 and IRR of 13% per year. But, before using such criteria as the only decision making, other factors must be evaluated as to obtain the income of the legal reserve, the better level of use of land and a proper forest management, aiming to increase revenue with the acquisition of new products and increased production of forests.Keywords: Economic profitability; land price; forest management; pinus.
