Natural and social sciences have its own uniqueness in seeing, describing and analyzing a phenomenon. Humanities have also its own distinctiveness between them. Literature, as one of department in humanities has its extreme perspective in considering a phenomenon. While natural and social sciences describing fact, literature is indeed describing fiction.  These two different paradigms have its consequences to the way of students’ writing for their papers. Since literature as one of humanities beside natural and social sciences in a university, this research investigates the university writing guidebook provided by the university in leading the students’ writing in describing fact and fiction. This research uses content analysis by analyzing four writing guide books emphasizing on how to write the final paper for natural, social sciences and literature (humanities). The result show that the four university writing guidebooks provided the writing for natural and social sciences, namely how to describe and analyze facts.  While for literature, on how to analyze fiction, the university writing guidebook does not provide yet. This research contributes for the university that university must provide the rules of final paper for literature students on how to write their final papers.

At the University of Pretoria the author, a practical theologian, experiences a fruitful soil for the development of an interdisciplinary process. He referred to concrete examples of cooperation, but used the article to reflect on best practices for the interdisciplinary dialogue. He came to the conclusion that it probably made more sense to talk of Practical-theological alternatives rather than to describe the subject in a single fixed manner of understanding and action. Our goal should rather be to open up the boundaries between Practical Theology, Human, Social and Natural Sciences.

The objective of this paper is to outline and compare frameworks for studying post-Soviet transformations developed by social scientists from various disciplines in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. The objective is realized by means of quantitative content analysis of scholarly articles’ abstracts in ninety-four journals in eight (inter)disciplinary fields that covers the period of 2001-2015. This paper seeks to answer the question whether differences in the studies of the post-Soviet transformations are defined by country discourse or by the field of study. The research results suggest that there is a two-level mechanism, by which the societal context affects academia, in this case, social sciences and humanities. While general directions of scholarly attention are determined by societal differences, representations of post-Soviet transformations are framed through specific disciplinary lenses that combine both international and post-Soviet features.

The studies on the Japanese conception of robots and artificial intelligence (AI) represent an example of the unexpected way cultural specificities influence people’s emotions, thoughts,and behaviors. In a digital world where rapid social and institutions innovation must occur to adapt to the speed of the cyberspace, it is imperative for social sciences and humanities researchers to pay close attention to how the undercurrents of cultures and religions might influence the way people interact with the technological world.

Despite its going importance, the evaluation of the students' acquisitions is still the most obscure point in the literature devoted to the university pedagogy. Hence, considering the absence of precise data about the performance indicators and evaluation criteria of students at the high level, this research asks the following question: « Does the way of conceiving the evaluation of the students' acquisition is made answer adequately to the criteria of pertinence and validity? ». The main objective if this study is to assess the pertinence of the objectives of the training (coherence with the training profile) and measure the validity of what students have acquired (coherence with the objectives stated). This study focuses on 42 exams of the same masters specialised in subject didactics. Through different content analysis strategies, the findings show the difficulties faced by universities to implement pertinent and valid evaluation.

The Faculty of Anthropology, former sub-faculty of anthropology, in the university of Social Sciences and Humanities of Ho Chi Minh City was established in 2002. For 10 years, the department has developed a strategy to develop its staff and teaching faculty together with gradually building up undergraduate and graduate curricula; as well as translating reference books, mostly about theories and methodology; compiling textbooks etc. Basing on the reality of constructing and developing the discipline in Vietnam, we come up with some ideas about how to continue constructing and developping anthropology in the context of international integration such as information exchange, national and international training and researching collaboration, publishing textbooks, translating reference materials, and improving curricula at undergraduate and graduate levels.

Campus is a miniature community heterogeneity. We can find a diversity of individuals and groups in the dynamics of the campus that are relatively complex. The uniqueness of the campus is also felt by the presence of the academic community are different in purpose and the way to achieve that goal in every interaction between them. Especially for students, this difference can be sourced from a background influenced by family, ethnic, social, and economic before their presence in university life. One campus has a unique advantage which is typical UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta. Positioning this campus who use Islam label makes this campus has an environment and atmosphere that is unique compared to other campuses. The research focused on students in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities have found that the students experienced various conflicts in cultural adaptation in the environment UIN Sunan Kalijaga. Starting from intrapersonal conflict to conflict in interpersonal and intergroup dynamics that occur.

My intention is to expose the way in how gender, class and race and media were and are overdeterminated, but without falling into a simplification that they are simply “contradictory.” I will make recourse to some contemporary performative practices and political spaces in Europe that dismantles the singular established contemporary history of art and performative practices in European context.

The aim of the study was to analyse preferable gender characteristics based on underlying gender stereotypes among the students from the University of Belgrade. The specific objective was to explore the prescribed value and the structure of those stereotypes. The participants were 261 students (69.7% female) from the University of Belgrade, 55.2% from Departments of social sciences and humanities and 44.8% from Departments of technical sciences, from the first to the fourth year of undergraduate studies.In the first phase of the study, we have used the list of eight pairs of desirable male and female prototypical attributes, and in the second phase, we have used the semantic differential scale for evaluative assessment of those attributes. The results have indicated that typical gender stereotypes are still predominant even in the academic environment. Stereotypes are more pronounced in the male sample than in the female one, i.e. women perceive the sexes as more similar to each other than men do. Both men and women evaluated the desirable “male” characteristics more positively than “female” ones, but men valued “female” characteristics significantly lower than women. We identified four groups of students with different structures of stereotypes. The predominant groups of stereotyping expressed masculinisation of both genders, or clear polarisation based on patriarchal tradition. If we consider students as the important strength for development of gender equality, more efforts should be made for understanding influence and planning policies, and programs targeting gender equality on faculties.

This special issue of Asian Studies is dedicated to Confucianism in Vietnam. The idea of this topic has a rather long history. It can be traced back to the second biennial conference of the World Consortium for Research on Confucian Cultures (WCRCC), which took place in Vietnam in 2016 and was hosted by the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University––Ho Chi Minh City under the theme “Confucianism as a Philosophy of Education for the Contemporary World”.
