Using data from 1339 published documents indexed on the Web of Science and a visual analytics technique, the study highlights several challenges. Marital union breakdown has significant negative consequences on the household members, with severe economic effects on women and children. Parental divorce causes damaging effects on children and can lead to antisocial and behavioral problems and psychological and health problems. Also, adversities from divorce can have multidimensional consequences on the parties.","PeriodicalId":88850,"journal":{"name":"Challenge (Atlanta, Ga.)","volume":"21 1","pages":"365 - 377"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/05775132.2020.1842025","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72519215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Shortly after preliminary results indicated that incumbent president Evo Morales had won the election in the first round, the Organization of American States Electoral Observation Mission in Bolivia issued an initial postelection press release, which expressed “its deep concern and surprise at the drastic and hard-to-explain change in the trend of the preliminary results revealed after the closing of the polls,” without providing any evidence for its claims. We analyzed the claims from the Organization of American States and found: • The preliminary results from the “quick count” for the first 83.85 percent of the vote count are consistent with a final projected result of Evo Morales winning the election outright with a more than 10 percentage point victory; • Neither the OAS mission nor any other party has demonstrated that there were widespread or systematic irregularities in the elections of October 20, 2019; • Neither the quick count nor the official count exhibit significant changes in voting trends in the final results; rather, the same well-known trend, explainable by differences in voter preferences in different geographical areas, is evident in both counts; • The legally binding vote count—the official count—did not stop for any significant period of time; and • It is unclear how the OAS mission’s objections regarding the quick count would affect the official count.","PeriodicalId":88850,"journal":{"name":"Challenge (Atlanta, Ga.)","volume":"13 1","pages":"319 - 331"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88186356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As national governments and global institutions grapple with the coronavirus pandemic, popular discussion has turned to how countries might overcome the social, economic, and financial disruption posed by the virus and its multi-system fallout. One lesson learned from the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 is that a drive for efficiency and the elimination of redundancy characterized the global financial system of the mid-2000s, and left much of the world exposed to systemic disruption. An overemphasis upon protecting or hardening core systems of governance and finance may not adequately protect against a range of disruptions in an uncertain future. Instead, resilience-thinking is needed to better position national and global financial institutions towards a recovery-oriented path. We describe how resilience-based policy can help lessen the long-term impacts of financial disruption posed by unpredictable events such as a pandemic.","PeriodicalId":88850,"journal":{"name":"Challenge (Atlanta, Ga.)","volume":"44 1","pages":"311 - 318"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82165059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent studies have illuminated the political and socioeconomic dimensions of the crisis, but observers have given too little attention to accelerated scientific and technological change as perhaps its central feature. This acceleration has generated a widening range of dangers extending from recurring pandemics and unchecked genetic engineering to intrusive artificial intelligence and global warming. Combined with the U.S. constitutional crisis, such dangers constitute a mega-crisis that is likely to evolve in unpredictable ways. To address it, we must think imaginatively about our past national crises without being blinkered by them. The COVID-19 pandemic shows the urgent need for major reforms of U.S. political, economic, and intellectual institutions—reforms that will become possible only with a dramatic repudiation of Donald Trump and the Republican Party in November.","PeriodicalId":88850,"journal":{"name":"Challenge (Atlanta, Ga.)","volume":"175 1","pages":"245 - 263"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78905009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
