This introductory chapter opens with a material reading of the John Milton that emerges from a publication produced early in his career, Humphrey Moseley’s 1645 Poems, arguing that Milton projected his authorial identity into the world alongside an ambitious stationer who likewise sought to fashion himself through the book trade. The authors consider the volume, its contents, author portrait and inscription, and relationship to Moseley’s contemporaneous publications as a case study that attests to ways in which Milton worked both with and against stationers in order to promote both his authorial status and his personal politics. The essays of Making Milton are then summarized as the editors set out the collection’s three main threads of argument: for the importance of the book trade and the ways in which Milton’s books were made available, read, and sold; Milton’s exceptionalism as an author who participated in the construction of his own profile as a writer; and the ways in which readers and other writers have contributed to shape Milton’s afterlives.

The introductory chapter opens with an overview of the massive divide in public opinion about homosexuality and laws related to it across the world. The introduction poses the question of why attitudes about homosexuality differ so substantially across the globe, and it discusses the book’s mixed-methods research design, which is used to investigate this issue. Using explanatory sequential design, this chapter unpacks how the book’s analysis will proceed, starting with an examination of survey data from almost ninety societies. The chapter explains how the cross-national quantitative data fit with the three comparative country case-study chapters that focus on nations that have majority Protestant, Muslim, and Catholic populations. There is also a discussion about how the quantitative examination of attitudes in Confucian societies fits with the Taiwanese interviews, which are used to better understand the forces shaping residents’ attitudes.

Access And Quality

The fact that millions of children around the world are unable to read, write, or perform basic mathematics has come to be called the “Global Learning Crisis.” Delayed but ever-increasing recognition of the crisis has made it a primary concern, if not the primary concern of the field of international education and the Education for All movement. Work to address the crisis in many ways depends upon how it is understood. This introductory chapter argues that a key theme of the discourse on the Global Learning Crisis is that it is the result of a disconnect or negative association between access to education and education quality. This chapter lays out how the book investigates this idea by conducting a case study of Ugandan primary education, with empirical analysis of three issues: grade repetition, private primary schools, and school fees, viewing each issue as an illustration of the connection between access and quality.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Backgroud: The World Health Organization (WHO) explained that the number of Hyperemesis Gravidarum cases reached 12.5% of the total number of pregnancies in the world and the results of the Demographic Survey conducted in 2007, stated that 26% of women with live births experienced complications. The results of the observations conducted at the Midwife Supriyati Clinic found that pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum, with a comparison of 10 pregnant women who examined their contents there were about 4 pregnant women who complained of excessive nausea and vomiting. Objective: to determine the hyperemesis Gravidarum of pregnant mother in clinic. Methods: This study used Qualitative research methods by using a case study approach (Case Study.) Result: The description of excessive nausea of vomiting in women with Hipermemsis Gravidarum is continuous nausea and vomiting more than 10 times in one day, no appetite or vomiting when fed, the body feels weak, blood pressure decreases until the body weight decreases and interferes with daily activities days The factors that influence the occurrence of Hyperemesis Gravidarum are Hormonal, Diet, Unwanted Pregnancy, and psychology, primigravida does not affect the occurrence of Hyperemesis Gravidarum. Conclusion: Mothers who experience Hyperemesis Gravidarum feel nausea vomiting continuously more than 10 times in one day, no appetite or vomiting when fed, the body feels weak, blood pressure decreases until the weight decreases and interferes with daily activities, it is because there are several factors, namely, hormonal actors, diet, unwanted pregnancy, and psychology.

This paper addresses the fields of social and service design in development contexts, practice-based and constructive design research. A framework for social design for services will be explored through the survey of existing literature, specifically by drawing on eight doctoral theses that were produced by the World Design research group. The work of World Design researcher-designers was guided by a strong ethos of social and service design for development in marginalised communities. The paper also draws on a case study in Namibia and South Africa titled ‘My Dream World’. This case study presents a good example of how the social design for services framework functions in practice during experimentation and research in the field. The social design for services framework transfers the World Design group’s research results into practical action, providing a tool for the facilitation of design and research processes for sustainable development in marginal contexts.

Linguistic Approach

This paper demonstrates how a range of linguistic methods can be harnessed in pursuit of a deeper understanding of the ‘lived experience’ of psychological disorders. It argues that such methods should be applied more in medical contexts, especially in medical humanities. Key extracts from The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath are examined, as a case study of the experience of depression. Combinations of qualitative and quantitative linguistic methods, and inter- and intra-textual comparisons are used to consider distinctive patterns in the use of metaphor, personal pronouns and (the semantics of) verbs, as well as other relevant aspects of language. Qualitative techniques provide in-depth insights, while quantitative corpus methods make the analyses more robust and ensure the breadth necessary to gain insights into the individual experience. Depression emerges as a highly complex and sometimes potentially contradictory experience for Plath, involving both a sense of apathy and inner turmoil. It involves a sense of a split self, trapped in a state that one cannot overcome, and intense self-focus, a turning in on oneself and a view of the world that is both more negative and more polarized than the norm. It is argued that a linguistic approach is useful beyond this specific case.

This article reflects on the conceptual debt that anthropology has developed towards the peoples it studies, by exploring the case-study of Gypsy/Roma anthropology. We argue that ethnographically-grounded research has enabled anthropologists to access and incorporate Gypsy/Roma visions and practices of the world. The flexible Gypsy epistemologies, which Gypsies/ Roma use in the social and cultural construction of particular forms of identity and mobility, have thus translated into a specific practice of theory, which has provided more adequate tools for grasping the complexity of reality and contributed to a decolonialisation of anthropological thought.
