Do So

Data derived from an administration of the Death Anxiety Scale [1] to Australian samples is analyzed with a view to providing comparative cross-cultural observations as well as some indication of realiability and validity in the Australian context. Measures of central tendency and dispersion and sex differences were found to be comparable with other surveys of similar groups to those of the present study. The Scale does not appear to suffer from acquisence set, is internally reliable and groups that would be expected to score lower than others, do so – providing some indication of construct validity. The Scale is not “factorially-pure,” however, and at least three “sub-scales” can be identified. These sub-scales are analyzed and discussed.

Century Science

Academics all over the world rightly desire to understand how modern science has come about. Indeed there was a time when historians of science had on offer a clear-cut conception of how that happened. But ongoing innovation in historiographical approaches has rendered the period from Galileo to Newton ever more elusive. Its monolithic coherence has been dissolved, a mood of sceptical resignation reigns in the profession over the very possibility of treating seventeenth-century science as more than a string of loosely connected episodes. I argue that, without returning to a historiographical past definitively behind us, coherence may be restored at a higher level of sophistication. Cross-cultural comparison, and unusual ways of dealing with historical concepts and causes, are proper tools to revitalize the issue and come up with partly novel answers to a question that in any case refuses to go away.

The Mean

The mean difference between men and women on the Death Anxiety Scale as found around the world seems to be higher in Arab countries. It was suggested that this is a function of larger sex-role differences in Arab countries.

Speech Events

The goal of the paper is to observe and compare the communication patterns in online university lectures occurring in the Czech and Indonesian (more specifically Javanese) environment through the lens of the ethnography of communication, based on the theory of speech acts. It aims to offer an insight in form of a case study and complement the knowledge in this field, especially considering the rapid expansion of the discourse due to the world pandemic in which information systems play a crucial role. The practical part uses direct observation of a set of classes to reveal how the same studied communicative events are practised differently. One of the key findings is the confirmation of my hypothesis that the speech events in the studied case show cultural differences and it is beneficial to study them through the lens of ethnography of communication. The focus on speech acts proved to be a crucial tool in my analysis.
