This study is the first attempt to introduce the concept of Nusantaranology in Indonesia. Based on a bibliographic survey and the authors' experiences in research development, it appears that Indonesia has a very strong scientific foundation compared to other countries. Besides, the fact that the wealth of local treasures in Nusantara can be utilized as a first step to develop the scientific concept of Nusantaranology. In this study, the authors conducted a bibliographic survey on how the influence of Western social sciences and humanities on several studies or research in Indonesia. The authors argue that the influence of the Western scientific tradition needs to be re-examined in understanding the various local knowledge found in Nusantara. The authors also found that various research results from local researchers have shown that the products of knowledge in Nusantara are very profound if they are framed under a scientific umbrella, i.e Nusantaranology. Finally, this study is expected to be the first step for researchers in Indonesia to carry out various studies on local issues, while continuing to strengthen the philosophical foundations of science, to reinforce the concept of Nusantaranology or Indonesian Studies.

ABSTRACTSince its beginning, archaeology stands between the natural sciences and the social sciences and humanities. This shared position and the search for a greater understanding of its specific study objects, created the need among archaeology experts to resort to various methods (and technologies) originated from other disciplines. Similarly to other sciences, archaeology is an area permeable to experimentation and application of theoretical and practical exogenous concepts. This lead to the development of several specializations that unite archeology and other areas, such as Zooarchaeology. As happened throughout its history, academics are facing a time of change in the way the acquisition of knowledge is processed. The Digital Era of globalization is related to the shifting of paradigms and the growing need for unceasing adaptation; archeology is also affected by this reality. After a brief introduction to the humanities "digital paradigm" we review some of the main uses of the Internet as a support to research development in archeology, their main obstacles and tendencies.RESUMODesde a sua génese, a Arqueologia encontra-se entre as ciências naturais e as ciências sociais e humanísticas. Esta posição partilhada e a procura de uma maior compreensão dos seus objetos de estudo específicos, criou nos profissionais de Arqueologia uma necessidade de recorrerem a várias metodologias (e tecnologias) originárias de outras disciplinas. De forma similar a outras ciências, a Arqueologia é uma área permeável à experimentação e aplicação de conceitos teórico-práticos exógenos que levou, inclusive, à formação de diversas especialidades que unem a Arqueologia e outras áreas, como a Zooarqueologia. Como aconteceu ao longo da sua história, o meio académico está perante um momento de mudança na forma como se processa a aquisição de conhecimento. O fato de estarmos na Era Digital da globalização faz com que a adaptação do meio académico a esta realidade seja mais continuada, não sendo a Arqueologia alheia a esta transformação. Após uma breve introdução ao novo "paradigma digital" das humanidades, revemos alguns dos principais usos de tecnologias relacionadas com o uso da Internet no apoio à investigação em Arqueologia (e.g., bases de dados enriquecidas), e descrevemos algumas questões relacionadas com o uso de novas ferramentas e técnicas, seus principais obstáculos e tendências.

This article attempts to provide a breakthrough which I call mode of production theory. This theory will be employed to analyze the contemporary phenomenon of radical Islamism. The mode of production theory is meant to bridge the two clashing theoretical paradigms in social sciences and humanities, i.e., Weberian and Marxian. Despite its bridging nature, the paper argues that the two cannot be merged within one single thread. This is because each paradigm has its own epistemological basis which is irreconcilable to one another. Mostly adapted from Marx’s theory, the current theory of the mode of production covers five interrelated aspects, namely social, political, economic, cultural, and symbolic structures. If Marx’s mode of production theory heavily relies on a material and economic basis, the theory used in this paper accommodates cultural and symbolic structures that are Weberian in nature. Although the two paradigms can operate together, the strength of structure (Marxian) overpowers the strength of culture (Weberian). This paper further argues that such cultural-based aspects as ideology, norms, and values play as mobilizing factors under a big schematic dominant structure in the rise and development of the radical Islamist groups.

Previous studies demonstrated that different academic contexts could have different effects on moral development, i.e. in most cases formal education enhances moral reasoning, but sometime erodes it (for example for medical students). The aim of this study was to examine differences in moral reasoning among students of different academic disciplines (health care, law, social sciences and humanities). In research participated 386 students (Mage=23,12): 154 law students, 55 nursing students, 123 other social sciences students, a 53 humanities students. Participants took Test of Moral Reasoning (TMR) (Proroković, 2016) which measures index of moral reasoning (in range from 0 to 1), and idealistic orientations (humanistic and conservative). The results showed that there was no difference in the moral reasoning index among students of different academic orientations. Furthermore, students of different academic disciplines differed in the humanistic orientation in a way that students of social studies were more humanistically oriented than law students. Some of the possible explanations for the lack of differences with regard to academic orientations is that overall stimulating environment that college provides is perhaps more important for moral reasoning development than specific academic contexts. Findings of this study are consistent with the findings of some of the previous studies.

Valian rightly made a case for better recognition of women in science during the Nobel week in October 2018 (Valian, 2018). However, it seems most published views about gender inequality in Nature focused on the West. This correspondence shifts the focus to women in the social sciences and humanities (SSH) in a low- and middle-income country (LMIC).

En este manuscrito se presentó el segundo número de Forhum International Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities. En la Introducción se presenta la importancia de abordar las problemáticas latinoamericanas desde la transdisciplina; enfatizándose la relevancia que tienen los enfoques críticos para realizar estudios sobre las realidades pedagógicas dentro y fuera de las aulas y los espacios educativos en las diversas realidades latinoamericanas. Los estudios presentados en este Dossier toman como marco de referencia los estudios sobre los procesos de educación, gestión del conocimiento, evaluación de competencias docentes y organizacionales, así como la evaluación espacial de problemas y dinámicas geopolíticas del continente latinoamericano. En el Desarrollo se presenta una panorámica que sintetiza el contenido argumental de los artículos que estructuran el segundo número de la revista. El artículo concluye estableciendo el sentido que tiene para la academia y la sociedad el que se estén desarrollando tan importantes investigaciones como las que se presentan en el segundo número de Forhum International Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities.
