This paper aims to gain an understanding of the local religious systems for integrating religious diversity in Bali. This study was conducted using social critical theory. The historical data obtained using literature studies and field research activities. The results of this study indicate that the local religious system in Bali can integrate Hindus and Islam religion. The integration occurs as a result of the relation power that played to integrate national ethnicity in Bali which includes economic interests (trade), and da'wah. The mystical worship and ancestors can approach each other in rituals. The human relations, human and environment relations, human and ancestors occurred harmoniously, not dominating and hegemonic. The cross-cultural integration and multiculturalism formation process has been taken place since the 12th century long before the awareness of Westernization. The integration between villagers in Bali can be used as a model in multicultural education in Indonesia, which today find relevance when various forms of conflict arise based on ethnicity, religion, race, intergroup (SARA). The problem needs to be addressed by fostering national awareness as a whole nation (Austronesian Malay nation)

An important aspect of ethical conduct of field research is for the researcher to have an appropriate relationship with the legitimate gatekeepers of the field site. This paper describes our experiences of obtaining approval from regulatory authorities in Thailand for field research on Burmese migrants, and discusses the nature and rationale of such government control in Asia and Western countries. It is intended to guide future humanitarian researchers who are planning to study oppressed groups at politically sensitive research sites where regulatory authorities monitor both research sites and research performance. Thailand, like several other Southeast Asian countries, operates a permit system for foreign researchers. This permit system is designed to promote research activities in Thailand so that the results can be used to further the country's development, and to enhance the cooperation and collaboration between Thai and foreign researchers providing opportunities for the exchange of knowledge, technical expertise, and experience. This control of foreign researchers is not prohibitive; foreign humanitarian researchers can organize research and advance the welfare of targeted oppressed populations in cooperation with government agencies.

This review is dedicated to the monograph by Filip Škiljan, а Researcher from the Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies (Zagreb), whose area of interest includes the position of ethnic minorities in contemporary Croatia. The book is an extremely detailed and scrupulous piece of research on the origins and history of the Italian community in Zagreb from the 12th Century to the present day. A significant part of the work is devoted to the results of field research conducted by the author, including interviews with different representatives of the Italian diaspora. As a result, this work creates a very comprehensive picture of the Italian presence in Zagreb with a broad historical perspective, which makes it a great contribution to the question of the position of the Italian minority in Croatia as a whole. It is worth emphasizing that this work is not free from different theoretical and methodological limitations which reveal a great deal about the historical and national psychology of Croatia. In this respect, it is quite interesting to look in particular at the chapter devoted to the Middle Ages regarding the methods, evaluations, and approaches used by author. According to F. Škiljan the Ottoman conquest of the Balkan peninsula led to the divide between Croatia and the Italian (and, consequently, European) civilizational space, which had a serious impact on Croatian identity.

Abstract Infrastructure is often thought of in big material terms: dams, buildings, roads, and so on. This study, instead, draws on literatures in anthropology and the social sciences to analyse infrastructures in relation to society and environment, and so cast current conceptions of infrastructure in a new light. Situating the analysis in context of President Biden’s recent infrastructure bill, the paper expands what is meant by and included in discussions of infrastructure. The study examines what it means for different kinds of material infrastructures to function (and for whom) or not, and also consider how the immaterial infrastructure of human relations are manifested in, for example, labour, as well as how infrastructures may create intended or unintended consequences in enabling or disabling social processes. Further, in this study, we examine concepts embedded in thinking about infrastructure such as often presumed distinctions between the technical and the social, nature and culture, the human and the non-human, and the urban and the rural, and how all of these are actually implicated in thinking about infrastructure. Our analysis, thus, draws from a growing body of work on infrastructure in anthropology and the social sciences, enriches it with ethnographic insights from our own field research, and so extends what it means to study ‘infrastructures’ in the 21st century.

In the Old Testament Yahweh is frequently called El. The question is raised whether Yahweh was a form of the god El from the beginning or whether they were separate deities who only became equated later. They whom uphold theory Yahweh and El were conceived as separate deities holds that Yahweh was a southern storm god from Seir and so on, which was brought by the Israelites and conflated with the Jerusalem patriarchal deity.On the other side there are scholars who hold and conceived Yahweh and El as one single deity. These scholars defend this position most commonly on the grounds that no distinction between the two can be clearly found in the Hebrew Bible. The methodology used in this paper is literary – historical and social interpretations, with the main method being the "diachronic and dialectical theology of Hegel". The simple Hegelian method is: A (thesis) versus B (anti-thesis) equals C (synthesis). The author analyzes (thesis) by collecting instruments related to ancient Semitic religions; it includes data on El and Yahweh assembly obtained from Hebrew text sources and extra-biblical manuscripts which are then processed in depth. The antithesis is to analyze El's assembly development in Israel – especially in Psalm 82. While the synthesis appears in the nuances of the El’s assembly believe in ancient Israel. The focus of this paper's research is to prove 2 things: first, is Psalm 82: 1, is an Israeli Psalm that uses the patterns and forms of the Canaanite Psalms; especially regarding religious systems that use the terminology of the divine council. Second, to prove that El and Yahweh in the context of this Psalm are two different gods, of which this view contradicts several ANET experts such as Michael S, Heisser who sets El and Yahweh in this text as identical gods. The results of this study attempt to prove that Israel and the Canaan contextually share the same religious system, and are seen to be separated in the Deuteronomist era with their Yahwistic reforms.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penerapan prinsip-prinsip human relations oleh pimpinan redaksi dalam meningkatkan motivasi kerja karyawan di Radar TV Sulawesi Tengah. Tipe penelitian yang digunakan ialah deskriptif kualitatif, dengan dasar penelitian menggunakan metode studi kasus. Penetapan subjek penelitian dilakukan dengan teknik porposive sampling. Teknik pengumpulan data adalah field research sedangkan metode pengolahan dan analisis data menggunakan model analisis interaktif Miles dan Huberman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pimpinan redaksi Radar TV Sulteng menerapkan prinsipprinsip human relations sebagai upaya meningkatkan motivasi kerja karyawan, namun penerapannya belum maksimal. Prinsip-prinsip yang dapat diterapkan dengan baik diantaranya adalah; informalitas yang wajar, manusia (karyawan) bukan mesin, kembangkan kemampuan karyawan sampai tingkat maksimal, pekerjaan menarik dan penuh tantangan, serta pengakuan dan penghargaan atas keberhasilan. Sedangkan prinsip-prinsip yang penerapannya belum maksimal ialah; sinkronisasi antara tujuan individu dan tujuan organisasi, suasana kerja yang menyenangkan, alat perlengkapan yang cukup, the right man in the right place dan balas jasa yang setimpal, yang disebabkan karena adanya faktor-faktor yang belum dapat terwujud terkait dengan prinsip tersebut. Faktor-faktor tersebut merupakan indikator dissatisfiers, seperti gaji yang jumlahnya selalu diapresiasi berbeda oleh anggota organisasi, kondisi kerja yang belum menyuguhkan kondisi fisik lingkungan kerja yang nyaman, serta tidak memadainya alat perlengkapan atau sarana dan prasarana kerja yang berpengaruh pada efektifitas, efisiensi dan kepuasan kerja karyawan. Selain itu ada pula faktor satisfiers khusunya tentang kemajuan dalam karir yang dalam penetapannya dinilai subjektif, tidak terbuka dan kurang menjanjikan sehingga tidak dapat menstimuli motivasi kerja karyawan.

The article tries to trace the formation, transformation, and deconstruction of the image of the author’s studied object. At the same time, it is proposed to consider the movement of the subject in the ethnographic space, that is, a temporal and geographically unified space that includes field research, presentations, conversations with colleagues, writing the text of an article, etc. The concept of imaginaries, which is central to the representation of the object, is considered in comparison with tourism practices, where the image is a central element, which gives a better understanding of the practices of both. It is argued that when deconstructing an image, the researcher’s position on the object and the ethnographic space change. The method of self-ethnography and mobility as a concept metaphor serve as tools for deconstructing the image. The main result of such a deconstruction is the ethical conclusions of the relationship of the subject to the object, as well as the performative effect of auto–ethnography. The author at the same time tries to find a solution to establish a reciprocity in relation to the object, as a kind of mandatory ethical action. One of the possible solutions seems to be the use of anthropological knowledge in the commodification of the object’s culture in its economic interests.

Lithuania is successfully integrated in the European geomagnetic field research activities. Six secular variation research stations were established in 1999 and precise geomagnetic field measurements were performed there in 1999, 2001, 2004, 2007 and 2016. Obtained diurnal magnetic field variations at measuring station and neighbouring observatories were analysed. All measurements are reduced to the mean of the year using data from geomagnetic observatory of Belsk. Based on the measured data the analysis of geomagnetic field parameter secular changes was performed. Results of the presented research are useful for updating the old geomagnetic data as well as for estimation of accuracy of declination model.

In the work described here we report on our collaborative efforts to produce a multicultural mathematics curriculum for Grades K—6 that was socially transformative. We drew insights and direction from the following discourses: multicultural education, socially proactive mathematics, and preservice and in-service teacher deliberations. Through group deliberations, the analysis of existing mathematics and multicultural curricula, and the sharing of personal histories, we planned our teacher-research activities. Our goal was to define mathematics as a tool for social analysis. In this article we describe the perplexity of issues related to the definition of multicultural curricula and mathematics curricula for social transformation, the complexities of the group deliberative process, and the demands involved in the teacher-research process.
