Original Concept

Research and theorisation on crimes against non-human species in rural regions have been conducted with less conceptual refinement than crimes against anthropocentric victims. The dominant conception of ‘wildlife crime’ predominantly advanced by the rational choice school of criminology is a nebulous ‘chaotic concept’. This article disaggregates crimes against common and relatively abundant species from that capacious categorisation and offers the original concept of ‘mundane fauna crime’ as a more precise alternative. The original concept aims to supersede the wildlife crime terminology using realist social relations theory and to offer researchers a rational abstraction to advance aetiological explanations. The additional category of ‘illegal taking’ is offered to complement the central conceptualisation, thus supplanting the terms of ‘wildlife poaching’. The new model is intended to contribute to the advancement of comprehensive theorisation and practically adequate knowledge on mundane fauna crimes in rural regions.

The Relationship

Social work is a unique relief profession as unique as individuals, groups and societies. Social relations as the main media in performing the art of social work practice. The art of social work practice is an expression of intuition results that creates creativity in dealing with social problems. In this century, it is necessary to show a brand new model of social work practice along with the emergence of contemporary social problems. So that in the Indonesian context, a unique character and characteristic are needed. This journal is a literature review from various sources that aims to present the new concept of the art of social work practice in Indonesia. So far, the science of social work has not been sufficient in dealing with social problems. Here is the urgency and connection between science and the art of social work practice. Thus, the relationship between the two cannot be separated. Because, basically, within the practice of social work lies an art.

Tit For Tat

Instead of governmental support, increasingly more and more art workers and cultural organisations are being forced to engage with crowdfunding as a legitimate means to finance artistic practice by draw- ing on their networks, primarily their friends, family, neighbours and colleagues. While this reliance on distributed networks is celebrated, there is very little attention paid to the balance of trade-offs and returns in this model. The excessive reliance on colleagues or ‘friends’ entails other dynamics in these tit-for-tat exchanges, which need to be unpacked: affect, exploitation, and indebtedness. Relationships with people become even more entangled and, unlike money, which is anonymous, brokering agency for artistic projects results in a negotiation of social relations. Will crowdfunding en masse lead to a new model for the distribution of wealth as is claimed or is it a commodification of one’s very own social relations?

Point Of Reference

Abstract The aim of this article is to discuss the character of regularities occurring in informal social bonds, be they friendships, romantic partnerships, competitions or rivalries. Since Simmel’s work is emblematic for the theme of social norms involved in durable informal bonds, I take his original concept of forms of association as my point of reference. The argument I propose challenges several of Simmel’s assumptions, namely his objectivist stance, his formal sociology and the autopoiesis of systems of reciprocal effects. Based on this critical rereading of Simmel, I introduce the concept of “socially constructed typical bonds” as a more dynamic and versatile alternative to the static patterns of forms of association. By bringing a subjectivist turn (inspired by Berger, Luckmann and Butler) to Simmel’s forms of association, I argue for the recognition of the blurry, diverse and contradictory understandings of the typical social bond as the ground for relational normativity.

What Do God and Creatures Really Do in an Evolutionary Change? Divine Concurrence and Transformism from the Thomistic Perspective

Secondary Causes

Many enthusiasts of theistic evolution willingly accept Aquinas’s distinction between primary and secondary causes, to describe theologically “the mechanics” of evolutionary transformism. However, their description of the character of secondary causes in relation to God’s creative action oftentimes lacks precision. To some extent, the situation within the Thomistic camp is similar when it comes to specifying the exact nature of secondary and instrumental causes at work in evolution. Is it right to ascribe all causation in evolution to creatures—acting as secondary and instrumental causes? Is there any space for a more direct divine action in evolutionary transitions? This article offers a new model of explaining the complexity of the causal nexus in the origin of new biological species, including the human species, analyzed in reference to both the immanent and transcendent orders of causation.

In most socioeconomically wealthy countries, a high quality of life is associated with a high consumption of natural resources. It is, therefore, essential to define what constitutes sustainable quality of life—that is, quality of life that is simultaneously high as well as ecologically and socially sustainable. This issue was addressed in a study on the promotion of sustainable quality of life in rural regions of Switzerland. We interviewed 90 people with the intention of developing a concept of sustainable quality of life. The concept that emerged from our research consists of nine components: social relations and equality; nature and landscape; education and knowledge; participation, identification, and collective emotions; living; mobility; health and safety; leisure and recreation; and income and employment. Each component is formulated in an integrated way, combining social, environmental, and personal aspects. The concept provides a basis for managing regional development and promoting sustainable quality of life in rural areas. In this regard, we propose starting points in the areas of social relations and equality, nature and landscape, and education and knowledge.

Special Case

This chapter focuses on three key issues of the psychology of situations in the special case where a situation is defined by the personality of a (potential) interaction partner. First, any taxonomy of personality can be considered as a taxonomy of situations. This recognition provides a special twist to lexically derived personality taxonomies as they mainly originate from perceptions of others’ personality and, thus, from perceptions of situations. Second, in this special case statistical personality × situation interactions become personality × personality interactions, which are discussed from the perspective of the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) and the Social Relations Model (SRM). Third, dynamical personality-environment transactions become personality–personality transactions, which are discussed from a developmental perspective. Implications for the psychology of situations are highlighted and a new model for personality × situation interactions is proposed, the Actor-Situation Interdependence Model (ASIM).

Original Concept

This paper emphasizes the need to include collocational competence in the model of lexical competence. Different ways of understanding of the notion “collocation” are presented together with the existing models of lexical competence. Next, a new model of lexical competence is pro-posed, i.e. the model covering lexical competence as well. The Author presents her original concept of collocational competence and argues for its development in vocabulary extension at a foreign language class.

Family, education school and community are strategic educational institutions in shaping the character of the nation that upholds integrity, honesty and commitment, but the fact is that these various institutions have not yet fully embodied the characters they aspire. Many character problems and abnormal social relations are experienced by learners in Indonesian educational institutions. Various models of character internalization emerged and developed to respond to this fact, including the Integrated Islamic School (SIT) education model, Living Values Education (LVE), The ESQ Way 165 and the Perjumpaan School Community. This article aims to analyze the character learning model developed by Perjumpaan School. This study uses qualitative research with descriptive analysis as a model for data analysis. This study found that Perjumpaan School has developed a new model in character learning. Perjumpaan School emphasized mental state management and languaging. Mental state is related to positive feelings or emotions while languaging is the use of norms inherent in language action. Positivity mental state and languaging in every encounter are efforts to normalize social relations that are open, tolerant and mutually acceptable to plural society.

The Social Relations Model (SRM) partitions social perceptions into perceiver, target, and relationship effects. The SRM presumes that variability in these effects is consistent across perceivers and targets—that there is the same level of variability in their perceiver, target, and relationship effects. We introduce the extended SRM to examine individual differences in each component of the SRM. To do so, we separate the tendency for perceivers to see targets in different ways, called Dissimilation, into two novel constructs, Sensitivity and Differentiation. Similarly, we separate the tendency for targets to be viewed in different ways, called Dissensus, into two novel constructs called Prototypicality and Volatility. In three studies, we show theutility of this separation for understanding how perceivers use rating scales, the accuracy of judgment, and the meaning of the perceiver effect. The new model is discussed in relation to Funder’s Realistic Accuracy Model and Biesanz’s Social Accuracy Model.
