Barren Women is the first scholarly book to explore the ramifications of being infertile in the medieval Arab-Islamic world. Through an examination of legal texts, medical treatises, and works of religious preaching, Sara Verskin illuminates how attitudes toward mixed-gender interactions; legal theories pertaining to marriage, divorce, and inheritance; and scientific theories of reproduction contoured the intellectual and social landscape infertile women had to navigate. In so doing, she highlights underappreciated vulnerabilities and opportunities for women's autonomy within the system of Islamic family law, and explores the diverse marketplace of medical ideas in the medieval world and the perceived connection between women's health practices and religious heterodoxy. Featuring copious translations of primary sources and minimal theoretical jargon, Barren Women provides a multidimensional perspective on the experience of infertility, while also enhancing our understanding of institutions and modes of thought which played significant roles in shaping women's lives more broadly

© The Author(s) 2019. ; Herpesviridae is a vast family of enveloped DNA viruses that includes eight distinct human pathogens, responsible for diseases that range from almost asymptomatic to severe and life-threatening. Epstein-Barr virus infects B-cells and epithelial cells, causing infectious mononucleosis, as well as a number of cancers. Epstein-Barr infection cannot be cured since neither vaccine nor antiviral drug treatments are available. All herpesviruses contain a linear double-stranded DNA genome, enclosed within an icosahedral capsid. Viral portal protein plays a key role in the procapsid assembly and DNA packaging. The portal is the entrance and exit pore for the viral genome, making it an attractive pharmacological target for the development of new antivirals. Here we present the atomic structure of the portal protein of Epstein-Barr virus, solved by cryo-electron microscopy at 3.5 Å resolution. The detailed architecture of this protein suggests that it plays a functional role in DNA retention during packaging. ; This work was partly supported by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities of Spain, grants BFU2014-53550-P and BFU2017-83720-P (to M.C.), BFU 2014-54181 (to J.L.C.), and contracts SEV-2013-0347 (to A.C.), and RYC-2011-09071 (to C.M.).

AbstractIn this article, we consider the utility of social exchange theory when centering the material and cultural realities of people and families of color. We draw on critical race and intersectionality scholarship to argue that this work challenges some of the core assumptions of social exchange theory (while reifying others) and offers novel avenues of inquiry and expanded foci for family researchers employing a social exchange framework. We illustrate our points by focusing on existing research and offering new empirical evidence on African Americans, yet we note that our revisioning has broader relevance for relationships between and within other groups and positionalities.

The game-plan of the Sampras help program from the nearby government through the Office of Marine and Fisheries of Barru Dominion has been driven, in any case the pay of customary angler isn't good. Consequently, crafted by mates is depended upon to satisfy the necessities of the family. Examination drove in the Western Sea side District of Barru Dominion of South Sulawesi Province of Indonesia plans to take a gander at the building up method of standard catch fisher mates to further develop the family economy. Such an evaluation is a sensible system with assessment strategy through Matrix. Considering the time assessment utilizing cross-sectional information of 2015 comes from the essential information. The examples of respondents were 30 conventional fisher's mates who worked in business groups in the model locale by the appraisal. The exposures of the anglers mates bracing methodology should be possible through supporting shoreline district, enlistment to capital, authorization to framework and work environments, the improvement of arranging hardware, managed thing change headway, and displaying of organized fish things.

Between 1936 and 1939, the Egyptian Medical Association held a series of forums on birth control and the population problem; the first full-length book on Egypt's population problem was published; the first life tables for Egypt were calculated; a group of university professors organized under the rubric of the Happy Family Society to discuss the need for planned families; the first fatwa on birth control in the 20th century was issued by the mufti of Egypt, Shaykh Abd al-Majid Salim; and the Ministry of Social Affairs was created, part of its mandate being to study the population problem.

Abstract: This study of 175 Mexican‐origin families examined a mediational model linking the linguistic acculturation of mothers and adolescents with a wide array of family mediators and adolescent mental health outcomes. Family linguistic acculturation, a latent construct based on maternal and adolescent acculturation, was positively related to increased family and interparental conflict but was not related to maternal parenting practices. Family conflict mediated the link between acculturation and two adolescent outcomes, conduct problems and depressive symptoms. Family acculturation showed a complex pattern of positive, indirect (mediated) and negative, direct effects on adolescent depressive symptoms. Findings are discussed in relation to traditional cultural values of Mexican heritage families and prevailing theories about why more acculturated Mexican‐origin youth are at increased risk for problem behaviors.

This paper examines key theoretical underpinnings of an advocacy initiative reaching low-income and African American families in our community. Its practical benefits are proposed to ensue largely from distinct positions on several issues: the scope and location of intervention; the source of intervention (who the primary helpers are); and the nature of intervention (how helping occurs). For each issue, our own specific positions are detailed against a backdrop of competing general stances. Research on similar initiatives is also reviewed in a way that highlights salient and reoccurring themes across the literature. Overall, this inquiry aims to facilitate deliberation among both academics and practitioners regarding the potential of advocacy as a viable supplement to more traditional interventions for struggling families.
