The word Taliban has been used by the public and is widely known as the name of the faction of the armed political movement in Afghanistan. However, in the past some time, the term Taliban is often used as a name for a group within the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). This raises different meanings and different perceptions. This study aims to analyze how the word Taliban is understood and used in the KPK, how the shape shifts in meaning, and how the construction process patterns. This study uses a descriptive-qualitative approach with data taken from literature and it is enriched with interview and questionnaire data. This study found that the development of meaning was unpredictable but found conclusions in synchronic phenomena when there was a large and open use of words. The common conception and common understanding on the word "Taliban” is doubtful because it can be broadly constructed. The semantic fields used are nouns and adjectives with various meanings. Meaning is constructed from individual perspectives, social and cultural contexts, the it is continued to mutual understanding and natural agreement. Peryoration and amelioration types were the most noticeable patterns of change. However, the positive-positive meaning is also a different pattern found in shifting the meaning of the Taliban in the KPK.

Bright Side

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to show that indebtedness can have a positive meaning for people who are embedded in social relationships in organizations if it is meant in the light of the notion of gratitude, gift-giving and generalized reciprocity. Design/methodology/approach The study reviews the literature on the common notion of indebtedness and integrates it with the literature on gratitude, gift-giving and generalized reciprocity. Findings The study reveals that through the notion of gratitude, gift-giving and generalized reciprocity people may conceive their indebtedness as gratitude for having received something, so triggering giving behaviors that does not necessarily aim to repay the debt, but to develop and feed their social relationships. Originality/value In the past indebtedness has been conceived as a negative feeling. This study reveals that it may have also a bright side when it is applied to people in flesh and bones, as they are immersed in good quality social relationships.

Perkembangan zaman akan mengubah citra dan simbol Malioboro. Citra kawasan yang dulunya asri dan nyaman itu sekarang berubah menjadi semrawut dan tidak nyaman lagi. Keadaan ini menstimulasi ide penciptaan karya bahwa ruang publik Malioboro yang semrawut dan tidak nyaman itu dipersonifikasikan sebagai rumah besar yang ruang-ruangnya telah disekat-sekat layaknya kamar pribadi yang nyaman dengan kamar yang memiliki keunikan sendiri-sendiri. Konsep penciptaan dan perwujudan ini merupakan kumpulan objek imaji visual fotografi yang realistis untuk dikonstruksikan kembali dengan tujuan menghasilkan realitas imajiner. Pendekatan teori penciptaan ini adalah citra, konstruksi fotografi, dan makna. Proses eksperimentasi dan pembentukan karya diawali dari imaji-imaji visual fotografi yang dikumpulkan, diseleksi, dan direpresentasikan dengan citra objek kaum urban yang berjuang untuk hidup dan ruang cagar budaya yang terpinggirkan oleh bangunan modern di Malioboro melalui imaji visual fotografi. Imaji-imaji visual fotografi dari suatu realitas imaji masa lalu tersebut diimajinasikan ke masa yang akan datang untuk dikonstruksi kembali menjadi kesatuan dengan menggunakan teknik montase dan kolase digital imaging ke bentuk imajinasi visual fotografi yang imajinatif dan bernilai kreatif estetis untuk dimaknai kembali pada keadaan sekarang. Penciptaan karya ini tidak lagi berbicara tentang tataran teknis saja, namun juga berbicara tentang estetika, citra, tanda-tanda dan makna baru di dalamnya. Melalui penciptaan karya ini, masyarakat diharapkan dapat mengetahui citra, proses konstruksi, penyajian penciptaan karya, dan makna yang dihadirkan kembali dari perwujudan imaji ke bentuk karya imajinasi visual fotografi yang bernilai kreatif estetis. Karya imajinasi visual fotografi ini diharapkan menjadi media untuk mengungkapkan perasaan atau ekspresi dan emosi estetis pencipta dalam bentuk parodi visual. Penciptaan ini diharapkan dapat bermanfaat untuk memperkaya khazanah citra/imaji/makna baru dan untuk membangun rasa memiliki serta kesadaran akan permasalahan tata kehidupan dan tata ruang Malioboro sekarang ini.AbstractImage and Symbols of Malioboro in the Construction of Photography. Change of time will change the image and symbol of Malioboro. The image of this area that once was beautiful and comfortable now has changed into a chaotic and an uncomfortable one. This situation has stimulated an idea of creating artworks that the public space of Malioboro which is chaotic and uncomfortable is personified as a big house with separated rooms as in private bedrooms with their own uniqueness. The concept of the creation and the embodiment is a compilation of objects from photography visual images, which are realistic to be reconstructed with the aim of generating an imaginary reality. The approach for this creation is a photography construction’s image and its meaning. The processes of experimentation and the formation of the works were started with the visual images of photography which were collected, selected, and represented with the images of urban people who struggle to live there and the cultural heritage which is marginalized by modern buildings in Malioboro through visual images of photography. Visual images of photography from the past reality of those images were imagined into the future time to be reconstructed as a unity by using techniques of montage and collage in digital imaging which would transform them into creative and aesthetic photography visual imagination to be reinterpreted in recent time. This creation does not only articulate the technique itself, but also to articulate the aesthetics, images, signs and new meanings in them. Through this creation, society is expected to know the images, the construction process, the presentation, and the meaning which are brought back from the visualization of images to the form of creative and aesthetic photography visual imagination. It is expected to be a media to express the artist’s aesthetic feeling and emotion in the form of visual parody. This creation is expected to be beneficial in enriching the corpus of new images/meanings and to raise the sense of belonging as well as awareness of the problem of life order and the spatial layout of current Malioboro.

AbstractThis essay offers a critical reflection on the central concept of “famous painting” as expounded in Zhang Yanyuan’s Lidai minghua ji (历代名画记, A Record of Famous Paintings of All Dynasties). Building upon the past scholarship, this essay will proceed in the following three steps. I propose to distinguish the concept of “famous painting” from the common understanding of painting. I argue that it is the former that plays a central role in the entire text of the Lidai minghua ji. As a result of this new approach, I will outline an intentional and discernable structure formed by the fifteen essays in the first three books. I proceed with discussing the relationship between famous paintings and famous painters so as to demonstrate Zhang Yanyuan’s implicit intention and considerations in selecting and evaluating painters and their works. Finally, I examine the basic formats of famous painting and further elucidate the historical dimension embedded within the concept of famous painting that constituted and changed the very idea under consideration.

The advancements of science and engineering which are reported by oral and written modes have become overcomplicated. The message of reporting clearly defines the problem at hand; however, reporting inadequacies have prevented that message from reaching the public. Reporting in the past has suffered due to strong censorship and ignorance from learning about technical contributions in society. Progress has been made through art and increased faith in scientific discoveries which were monumental enough to have wakened man's mind. Through the institutional changes in our education programs, technical reporting will become adequate and allow mankind to live with a mutual understanding.

According to recent surveys 80% of the primary, 90% of intermediate grade teachers, and 50% of all teachers base their instruction upon a single textbook; almost all questions arise from information in the textbook and most center on terminology; the common pattern of science instruction is assign, recite, test, and discuss the test, all based upon the textbook. The result of such instruction is that students demonstrate poor science achievement (both in terms of discipline specific knowledge and in terms of an ability to think and act in a scientific way) and poor attitudes towards science. In contrast, a number of excellent science K-12 programs have been developed in this country during the past 10-20 years and when used properly, achievement and attitude gains are considerable. Regrettably our system of district level control makes implementation of these superior programs difficult.

Common Perception

This paper reports onthe preliminary findings of a study initiated two years ago, at the initiative of the P.LD.E. to review the problems of teaching and research in economics and related subjects (ERS)! during the last two decades. The need for such a study has been felt for some time not only because of the common perception of declining standards in higher education generally and, economics, in particular, but also from the perceived competition economics has faced from other disciplines, especially business studies and computer science as a passport to the job market. After having enjoyed a relatively robust period of growth in the 1960s largely through the assistance of foreign donors such as the Ford Foundation, ERS in Pakistan have suffered in their development not only from the comparative paucity of resources allocated to them, but also as a result of an adverse change in the perceptions about the primacy of their usefulness for policy purposes. The demand for economics has also suffered some decline as a result of the diminished importance of the public sector and of planned development during the last two decades. While special branches of economics, such as finance, project evaluation, transport and energy economics have shown increased demand, mainly in the private sector or donor-related institutions, the demand for general economic analysts is not as strong as in the past and does not provide many gainful opportunities for professional advancement. Due to the continued disadvantage in terms of salaries and other rewards, the academic profession, remains unattractive.

In the past thirty years, social memory of the Eurasian youth has been influenced by many actors of the commerative space, who often pursue their own goals in the struggle to legitimize the new political order and their policies of the radical economic transformation. The results of their efforts should be taken into account in the implementation of one of the most important joint projects of the post-Soviet countries - Eurasian integration, because social memory of the youth is the most important resource for its success. The study aims at clarifying and evaluating the mechanisms for preserving information about the past, the peculiarities of the generation Y ideas about the common history and the current stage of the EAEU construction, which are present in the public discourse, and at revealing the relationship between attitudes to the past and to the Eurasian integration, the influence of social memory on the personal worldview, the forms and methods of its reconstruction in the interests of the post-Soviet countries interaction and efficiency of the politics of memory. The formation of social memory is defined as the activity of actors (individuals, groups, organizations, social institutions, communities) aimed at the interpretation of the collective past and common present by the youth of the countries participating in the Eurasian integration. The empirical object of the study - young citizens of the member states and candidates for joining the EAEU (18-38 years old), who live, study or work in Moscow. The article considers the respondents assessments of the contribution of each of the actors to the social memory formation and describes social memory of the generation Y as a set of views, feelings and moods reflecting the perception of the Soviet past and the common present. The authors insist on the purposeful policy of the leaders of the countries, participating in the Eurasian integration, to ensure the reconstruction of the youths social memory and the consolidation of societies.

East West

The commuter migration from Slovakia into Austria occupies a special position in Europe. The relatively short distance between Bratislava and Vienna encourages a rapid creation of information networks and permits job-seekers to find work in line with their qualification without too much financial outlay. Unlike other groups of migrants, the Slovakian commuters experience almost no dequalification and do not have to take up a marginal position on the labour market. It is remarkable that both the public opinion and the official statistics have failed to register this new development and therefore the realistic figures to fully comprehend it are lacking. The fact that this form of East-West mobility is being accepted without comment as "the new normality" may, perhaps, be attributed to the common bonds of the past.

The lights gradually dim. Like an army of warriors dressed in black and white, one hundred musicians enter the stage under the applause of the public. They take their positions awaiting the entrance of the concertmaster, who solemnly advance to the first chair acknowledging, one more time, the applause. A sound from the Principal Oboist is heard, followed by the other musicians, looking for a common understanding, each one searching to meet the proposed “A.” Then, all stay quiet. With a determined and resolute pace, the Maestro enters the stage moving to the podium, warmly greeted by an expecting audience. The Symphony is about to start. Could it be that this moment, though, is much more than an experience of bringing to life a musical work from the past? Could this also be the utmost symbol of an ideal demonstration of society's quest for organization, functionality and purpose?

AbstractOver the past decades, the number of effective and safe child vaccines available has increased. Yet, more and more parents have become concerned about vaccine safety. The authors address the following question: are vaccinations, especially in children, to be considered as mandatory treatment or should parents be entitled to choose whether to have their children vaccinated or not? In Europe, eleven countries have instituted mandates, whereas others have opted for mere recommendations and rely on information campaigns. Italy is one of those which have recently enacted legislation designed to broaden the scope of mandatory vaccinations. The paper’s authors argue that it is certainly hard to draw the line between individual and collective rights, yet it is incumbent upon state authorities to foster the common interest and the public good, which gives governments a right and an obligation to promote immunisation, at least until the safety threshold is reached.
