AbstractThis paper argues that abductive reasoning has a central place in theorizing Health Professions Education. At the root of abduction lies a fundamental debate: How do we connect practice, which is always singular and unique, with theory, which describes the world in terms of rules, generalizations, and universals? While abduction was initially seen as the ‘poor cousin’ of deduction and induction, ultimately it has something important to tell us about the role of imagination and humility in theorizing Health Professions Education. It is that which makes theory possible, because it allows us to ask what might be the case and calls attention to the role of creative leaps in theory. Becoming aware of the abductive reasoning we already perform in our research allows us to take the role of imagination—something rarely associated with theory—seriously.

The Union between Poland and Lithuania, whose foundations were laid in 1386 with the baptism of Jagiello, the pagan grand duke of Lithuania, and his marriage to Queen Jadwiga (Hedwig), daughter of the last king of Poland, marked the beginning of a systematic Christianization to which the pagan Lithuanians offered remarkably little resistance. Recent research on religious practice under the ruling Jagiellonian dynasty in Poland and Lithuania (1386–1572) shows that royal piety was often designed to elicit participation at a popular level, cementing both the diffusion of Christian involvement across the newly unified kingdom, and in turn the role of the royal family at its centre. Surviving royal accounts and prayer books can offer a privileged insight into the personal religion of the monarchs and their relatives. These accounts, although only partially extant, constitute an objective source by which religious practices may be understood. Created for bureaucratic reasons, to keep order in the Treasurer’s Chancery, rather than to present the king as pious, they detail expenses for masses and other opera pia of the king and his family, recording the rhythm of royal religious practices – for the day, the week and the whole liturgical year. The accounts also provide evidence of sacramental practices and royal almsgiving. Pious literature composed at the behest of the Jagiellons, combined with extant pedagogical treatises and didactic sermons delivered in the presence of the monarch, is particularly valuable in admitting us into the world of royal Christian education.

<p>The challenge of Christian education today is how to implement biblical principles in the context of education properly to distinguish Christian education from other educational concepts. Christian education will have no true meaning without the work of Christ. This principle is important for answering various educational challenges that are incompatible with biblical truth. The role of Christian education is very important in the effort to implement God's truth in a world of creation that longs for freedom from slavery of sin. That's why Christian education must be holistic, rooted, grow, and bear fruit in Christ. This article aims to show that biblical truth must be the foundation of a holistic Christian education. This article uses literature research by examining the biblical concept of Christ's atonement and its implementation in the practice of Christian education. This research was carried out from 2018 until 2019, and concluded that Christ's atonement has very strong implications in the practice of biblical Christian education in realizing God's love for humans and restoring God's creation to His original purpose.</p><p><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRAK: </strong>Tantangan pendidikan Kristen dewasa ini adalah bagaimana mengimplementasikan prinsip Alkitab dalam konteks pendidikan dengan benar untuk membedakan pendidikan Kristen dengan konsep pendidikan lainnya. Pendidikan Kristen tidak akan memiliki makna tanpa karya Kristus. Prinsip ini penting untuk menjawab berbagai tantangan pendidikan yang tidak sesuai dengan kebenaran Alkitab. Peran pendidikan Kristen sangat penting dalam upaya mengimplementasikan kehendak Allah dalam dunia ciptaan yang merindukan kemerdekaan dari perbudakan dosa. Itu sebabnya pendidikan Kristen harus holistis, berakar, bertumbuh, dan berbuah di dalam Kristus. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menunjukkan bahwa kebenaran Alkitab harus menjadi landasan pendidikan Kristen yang holistis. Artikel ini menggunakan riset literatur dengan meneliti konsep Alkitab tentang penebusan Kristus dan implementasinya dalam praktek pendidikan Kristen. Riset ini dilaksanakan pada tahun 2018 hingga 2019, dan menyimpulkan bahwa karya penebusan Kristus memiliki implikasi yang sangat kokoh dalam praktek pendidikan Kristen yang alkitabiah dalam mewujudkan kasih Allah kepada manusia dan memulihkan ciptaan Allah kepada tujuan semula.</p>

This book investigates how Thailand's judges were tasked by the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) in 2006 with helping to solve the country's intractable political problems—and what happened next. Across the last decade of Rama IX's rule, the book examines the world of Thai judges: how they were recruited, trained, and promoted, and how they were socialized into a conservative world view that emphasized the proximity between the judiciary and the monarchy. The book delves into three pivotal freedom of expression cases that illuminate Thai legal and cultural understandings of sedition and treason, before examining the ways in which accusations of disloyalty made against controversial former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra came to occupy a central place in the political life of a deeply polarized nation. The book navigates the highly contentious role of the Constitutional Court as a key player in overseeing and regulating Thailand's political order before concluding with reflections on the significance of the Bhumibol era of “judicialization” in Thailand. In the end, under a new king, who appears far less reluctant to assert his own power and authority, the Thai courts may now assume somewhat less significance as a tool of the monarchical network.

The focus of this research study describes the role of Christians in strengthening the spirit of diversity in the Indonesian nation. Currently, Indonesia is not only facing the Covid-19 pandemic but also a national identity crisis. In various places, there are rampant intolerance, radicalism, and acts of extremism-terrorism that threaten the integrity of the nation. In this situation, Christians are called to show their identity by becoming ambassadors for God's love. By becoming ambassadors of God's love, Christians prove that love is greater than enmity. Christians can start by living together in a community. In the community, Christians are trained to be more sensitive to the sufferings of the world and not run out of power. This research study uses a phenomenological approach that starts from the calling of Christians to live in a spirit of love. Because in the way of living together all differences are put together. Thus, the Christian community becomes a good platform for channeling love to others regardless of ethnicity, race, and religion. Therefore, the Christian community is a means of realizing togetherness in a spirit of diversity.AbstrakFokus studi penelitian ini menguraikan peran orang Kristiani dalam memperkuat semangat kebinekaan Bangsa Indonesia. Saat ini Indonesia tidak hanya menghadapi pan-demi covid-19 tetapi juga krisis identitas kebangsaan. Di berbagai tempat marak terjadi intoleransi, radikalisme dan tindakan ekstremisme-terorisme yang mengancam keutuhan bangsa. Berhadapan dengan situasi ini orang Kristiani dipanggil untuk menunjukkan iden-titasnya dengan menjadi duta kasih Allah. Dengan menjadi duta kasih Allah orang Kristiani membuktikan bahwa, kasih lebih besar dari permusuhan. Orang Kristiani dapat memulai-nya dengan hidup bersama dalam komunitas. Dalam komunitas, orang Kristiani dilatih untuk lebih peka mendengar penderitaan dunia dan tidak kehabisan daya. Studi penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologi yang bertitik tolak dari panggilan orang Kris-tiani untuk hidup dalam semangat kasih. Sebab dalam cara hidup bersama segala per-bedaan disatukan. Dengan demikian komunitas Kristiani menjadi wadah yang baik untuk menyalurkan kasih kepada sesama tanpa memandang suku, ras dan agama. Karena itu, komunitas Kristiani adalah sarana untuk mewujudkan kebersamaan dalam semangat kebinekaan.

The article is devoted to the problem of studying bilingualism. The object of study is the mechanism of acquiring a non-native language, considered in the context of the hermeneutic approach. For a deeper analysis of the process of acquiring a non-native language, the role of mental and metapsychic categories on the way to bilingual understanding of new knowledge about the world is considered. The activity of a person in the conditions of personal choice is a complex one, where the central place is given to consciousness. Understanding, as a function of consciousness, becomes a key issue in the interpretation of the reality where the bilingual is. The interpretation of all components of the “new” (other) culture and the world goes through language. The native language of the bilingual is associated through a particular set of “presetting” and “pre-understanding”. Gaining new experience in the conditions of conscious choice leads to the emergence of a double format of perception of the world, which does not contradict human nature, is a condition of completeness of the world view. The tasks of the researcher included the representation of linguistic personality in terms and concepts of hermeneutics; the definition of the basic mental processes that are characteristic of the formation of bilingual linguistic personality; the study of interference as a natural process and the result of the interpretation of the phenomena of reality. The article attempts to explain the role of consciousness and understanding in bilingual speech activity and to define the essence of interlanguage interference in the light of the applied approach. In interaction of conceptual and linguistic spheres of the system, appears for the interference systems. Due to irreversible changes in the structure of linguistic consciousness, interlingual interference becomes a natural process that can disrupt decoding under certain communication conditions.

As we read in their introductions, papal encyclicals are documents aimed at not only the clergy, but all the faithful of Catholic Church as well as at people of goodwill. All the more, should the thoughts handed down by St Peter's successors be not only the source of information but most of all the material for in-depth analysis or commitment. It strangely happens that the nation declaring in majority its affiliation to Catholic Church, the nation being so fortunate by giving the world this great witness of God's love to man, shows hardly any interest in his teachings. We prefer to remember the Pope John Paul II as the moral and scientific authority, not knowing exactly what hidden massages are implicit in these notions, as well as worship him on posters and T-shirts. In an international competition concerning John Paul II.s teaching, it could turn out that his countrymen know very little of what he had to tell us.  The author of the article wishes to draw readers' attention to some key elements of papal teaching, among which  the  focal points are  subjective . personal  role of man  in  the world, transcendental dimension of human being, personalistic perspective of man with his relation to work and  the  status of  the  latter, as well as  its  significance  in man´s development. Tomasz Tadeusz Brzozowski has made these issues the subject of his analysis, which has been detailed and deepened by relating them to John Paul II's teaching expressed in his social encyclical, also provided with the author's commentary. If the content of this article influences at least to a small extent a bit deeper reception of papal teachings, it will accomplish its aim filling its author with satisfaction.
