Abstract Carl Erdmann − a German-Baltic provincial lawyer with ideals. Carl Eduard Erdmann (1841–1898), almost forgotten today, produced the most comprehensive work on the private law of the Baltic provinces of the Russian Empire in the late 19th century. With a good reason, he is considered the most outstanding philosophical mind among the Baltic provincial lawyers. His doctrines on the person and ownership in law are deeply rooted not in the modern philosophy of freedom, but in Christian ideals. The person had its ultimate justification in the divine personality. The idea of ownership was to be kept free from individualistic egoism and embedded in the generational continuity of the family. These ideals explain how Erdmann was able to combine his legal technique of German Pandektistik with the pre-modern normative guidelines of Baltic private law codification.

Abstract The nonreductionistic theory of the multiple aspects of reality offered by the Dutch philosopher Herman Dooyeweerd is employed to illuminate the status of bodies and biological entities in relation to attached and incorporated technological devices. I first present a review of the interpretations of the mechanization of biology and then argue from a Dooyeweerdian viewpoint that this mechanization also amounts to a reduction of the biotic aspect to previous aspects, such as the physical and the regulatory or cybernetic aspect. Next, the irreducible meaning of the biotic aspect is defined as the vital life cycle and generational continuity that delineate the form of a species. Finally, I show how this definition helps us identify a normativity and a respect for living things, and I discuss its implications for bioengineering practices.

In all economically developed societies, we find a fair amount of inter-generational mobility and at the same time clear patterns of continuity between the status of the family of origin in society and the education and income of the offspring. The desire of those who advocate equal opportunity is to minimize as much as possible this inter-generational continuity by increasing the chances of children from the lower part of the stratified structure to reach higher levels of education and income. This article will describe the process of the Israeli minorities and their integration or segregation the context of Educational integration in the country.

Abstract Most Middle Eastern entrepreneurial families are familiar with foreign offshore trusts and foundations and have been using these tools to ensure wealth preservation and inter-generational continuity for several generations. In that context, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) now counts three foundation regimes (in the Abu Dhabi Global Market, the Dubai International Financial Centre and the Ras Al Khaimah International Corporate Centre) and provides a local solution to wealth management and preservation, family succession planning, corporate structuring and asset protection. The purpose of this article is to present the context, mechanisms and interests in relation to UAE private foundations.

Abstract Most Middle East entrepreneurial families are familiar with foreign offshore trusts and foundations, and have been using these tools to ensure wealth preservation and inter-generational continuity for several generations. In that context, the new foundation regime was introduced in 2017 in the Abu Dhabi Global Market, a Middle East common law familiar jurisdiction, meeting all the requirements for a simple-to-understand, cost-effective, and sustainable vehicle dedicated to wealth management and preservation, family succession planning, tax planning, asset protection, corporate structuring, and for public interest foundations (excluding charities). The purpose of this article is to present to the reader the context, mechanisms, and interests to use Abu Dhabi Global Market private foundations.

AbstractOne generation's experience of childhood maltreatment is associated with that of the next. However, whether this intergenerational transmission is specific to distinct forms of maltreatment and what factors may contribute to its continuity remains unclear. Borderline personality pathology is predicted by childhood maltreatment and characterized by features (e.g., dysregulated emotion, relationship instability, impulsivity, and inconsistent appraisals of others) that may contribute to its propagation. Among 364 older adults and 573 of their adult children (total n = 937), self-reported exposure to distinct forms of childhood maltreatment (i.e., emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, and emotional and physical neglect as assessed by the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire) showed homotypic and heterotypic associations across generations with little evidence that latent factors unique to specific forms of maltreatment show generational continuity. General nonspecific indices of childhood maltreatment showed evidence of intergenerational transmission after accounting for demographic factors and parent socioeconomic status (b = 0.126, p = 9.21 × 10−4). This continuity was partially mediated by parental borderline personality pathology (assessed longitudinally through a variety of measures and sources, indirect effect: b = 0.031, 95% confidence interval [0.003, 0.060]). The intergenerational continuity of childhood maltreatment may largely represent general risk for nonspecific maltreatment that may, in part, be propagated by borderline personality pathology and/or shared risk factors.

Abstract Trees often offer meaningful metaphors of and for society, connecting symbolically social and cultural life and creating specific bonds between nature and culture. We studied central squares and churchyard trees in the mountainous villages of Epirus, NW Greece, recording tree species and measuring their characteristics in the field, using also ethno-ecological tools for valuing their importance in the local community. The most common trees are monumental oriental plane trees (Platanus orientalis L.) which provide a focal point for community life and serve locally as symbols of community origin, reunion and inter-generational continuity. Such plane trees are also highly appreciated nationally for their aesthetic qualities and historical value. Recognition of the conservation importance of monumental trees should be a high priority, so as to secure the future of emblematic trees and the cultural landscapes they create, especially as invasive pathogens are spreading worldwide threatening their existence.
