The family is a sacred fortress and contributes to the development of the two young states by preserving it. After all, our esteemed head of state Sh.M.Mirziyoev did not say in vain that the family is the basis of society. As young people realize the important responsibilities they take on as they step into this divine home, peace and prosperity will be ensured in the family and the number of divorces that are broken for early vain reasons will be reduced. The reason for this is that the peace and harmony in the family, mutual respect, that is, a healthy psychological environment depends on the relationship between the couple. This issue is also given special attention in Uzbekistan and its importance is emphasized. The following is a closer look at the foundation of the family, its importance, and what needs to be done to preserve and strengthen this sanctuary.

The Fearless Cities summit, coordinated by Barcelona en Comú in June 2017, marked the first global gathering of the nascent 'new municipalist' movement. Responding to the 'imperative that geographers engage critically and creatively with the way localism is being articulated' (Featherstone et al. 2012: 181), this paper argues that the new municipalist initiatives are developing urban political strategies that successfully avoid the Local Trap. Rather than essentialising cities as inherently progressive or democratic, the municipal is instead becoming framed as a 'strategic front' for developing a transformative politics of scale. Given this critical awareness, this nascent movement demonstrates how local loyalties can be mobilized as part of a progressive scalar strategy without falling into the trap of a 'particular localism'. What remains to be seen is whether these initiatives are able to develop a variegated scalar strategy of transformation that retains the democratic essence that underpins them.

Sociology played a major role in the reconstruction of European Jewry after 1945. It offered a putatively objective language, enabling Jews of different religious and political leanings to collaborate. With Jewish communities having been devastated by the war, policy makers now sought quantitative data regarding composition, orientation, and the needs of these populations. Through institutions, journals and conferences, American Jewish theories, and models were transferred to Europe, but were channelled for a distinct function. Demographic research and Jewish community centres were developed with the goal of locating and attracting 'marginal Jews' so as to reconnect them to community life. Jewish sociology in post-war Europe was part of a major effort towards reconstruction of Jewish communities; this effort was based on scientific methods and aimed at 'saving' all remaining Jews for the greater Jewish cause.

THIS ARTICLE EXAMINES THE FISCAL CONSEQUENCES FOR TWELVE, SMALL OREGON CITIES OF RECENT CHANGES IN FEDERAL AND STATE INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUE POLICIES. MANY SMALL LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE EXPERIENCED DOUBLE REVENUE REVERSES IN RECENT YEARSREDUCTIONS IN OWN-SOURCE REVENUES BECAUSE OF ECONOMIC DECLINE AS WELL AS DECREASES IN INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUES, ESPECIALLY FEDERAL AID. THE TWELVE SMALL CITIES ARE COMPARED WITH ALL 241 CITIES IN OREGON AND THE 136 OREGON CITIES IN THE 1,000 TO 49,999 POPULATION RANGE. USING AGGREGATE AND INTERVIEW DATA, A MAJOR FINDING IS THAT ALTHOUGH STABILIZATION AND/OR DECLINE IN FEDERAL-STATE REVENUE SHARING AND ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM FUNDS HAVE ACCENTUATED DIFFICULT LOCAL REVENUE SITUATIONS, ECONOMIC DECLINE HAS BEEN THE MORE IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTOR TO THE FISCAL STRESS OF THE TWELVE SMALL MUNICIPALITIES. MOST OF THE TWELVE CITIES HAD LIMITED FISCAL CAPACITY-AS INDICATED BY LOW ASSESSED PROPERTY VALUATIONSMAKING IT DIFFICULT TO PRODUCE SUFFICIENT REVENUE TO MEET BASIC PUBLIC SERVICE NEEDS. THESE CITIES WERE ALSO UNABLE TO GET CITIZEN APPROVAL OF INCREASES IN PROPERTY TAXES.
