According to the contemporary understanding, a child is an integral being, an active participant in his/her own education, a curious and competent being with diverse interests, capabilities, knowledge and understanding, and a person who, driven by an innate curiosity, explores the world surrounding him/her, and actively acquires knowledge. These new paradigms have influenced the revision of understanding a child and his/her childhood, which is not only a preparatory stage for the future, but the period of life that has its own values and culture. Childhood is a process that is contextualized, always in relation to a specific space, time and culture, and varies according to different conditions and cultures in which it occurs. And it is the status of a child, conceived by adults, that is reflected in the overall education of the child, thus becoming a decisive factor in determining his/her social and ethical identity. This paper discusses the basic attitudes relating to a child and his/her childhood, upbringing, development and education within family and institutional surroundings.

The single greatest challenge facing managers in the developed countries of the world is to raise the productivity of knowledge and service workers. This challenge, which will dominate the management agenda for the next several decades, will ultimately determine the competitive performance of companies. Even more important, it will determine the very fabric of society and the quality of life of every industrialized nation. … Unless this challenge is met, the developed world will face increasing social tensions, increasing polarization, increasing radicalization, possibly even class war.

Things that are not much cared for but still have a role in the survival of the world.

Talking about the future of an interaction that occurs between the general public and farmers and fishermen, especially considering that farmers and fishermen themselves can be compared to two different poles, a liminal space is needed, which may already exist indirectly in the environment.

To present a common space, or a place that contains a special character of a city that contains a message for the future. Keywords:  dualism; hope; liminal; trace;  Abstrak Masa depan cara berhuni memiliki konteks yang sangat luas dan akan terus diperbincangkan. Tidak menutup kemungkinan datang dari pembahasan mengenai cara berhuni dengan bertani dan melaut. Hal yang tidak banyak dipedulikan tetapi tetap memiliki peran dalam kelangsungan dunia. Oleh karena itu, masa depan berhuni ini akan dibahas dengan menggunakan peran arsitektur sebagai ruang, untuk dapat menciptakan sistem yang ideal dengan memperhatikan kualitas bertani dan melaut bagi masa depan, dan meninggalkan sebuah jejak atau kenangan untuk dapat membawa pesan bagi masa depan. Berbicara mengenai masa depan dari sebuah interaksi yang terjadi antara masyarakat umum dengan para petani dan nelayan, apalagi mengingat para petani dan nelayan itu sendiri dapat diibaratkan berada pada kedua kutub yang berbeda, maka dibutuhkanlah sebuah ruang liminal, yang mungkin sudah hadir secara tidak langsung pada lingkungan masyarakat. Dengan cara melepaskan ego individual dan menekankan ego kepada sudut pandang para petani dan nelayan. Untuk menghadirkan sebuah ruang bersama, atau sebuah tempat yang mengandung sebuah karakter tersendiri dari sebuah kota yang berisi pesan bagi masa depan.

Dickens employs a range of class discourses to imagine possibilities of social being defined in terms of middle-class selfhood. This self seeks social inclusion represented as the achievement of the status of the gentleman or gentlewoman. The nineteenth-century shift of gentility from inborn quality to a quality of character that is earned through self-making in turn raises the possibility of mere self-invention and along with it the pursuit of self-interest at the expense of others. This problematic accounts for the repeated plot structure in which a protagonist is excluded from genteel society and can only re-enter it through earning his or her way in the world. In the late novels, Dickens focuses in particular on the way in which the desire for social inclusion is generated by gestures of exclusion and thus questions gentility as a viable category for defining social being.

This introductory essay reviews the history of the Journal, divided into two stages: the period from 1921 to 1953; and that from 1954 to today. It examines the changing institutional arrangements, personnel, as well as some of the highlights in the content of the Journal. If there is a theme, it is that the Journal was established by and developed its reputation because of the efforts of many of the outstanding scholars at Cambridge who over the decades offered the outputs of their talents to the Journal; and that the Journal has used that reputation more and more to attract the scholars outside Cambridge – indeed from all over the world. Whatever the aims of those who established the Cambridge Law Journal in 1921, and without much self-consciousness, the Journal incrementally acquired the status and practices of a learned journal. Finally, the essay reflects on the future, in particular the challenges of digitisation, open access and inclusivity.

As a starting point for the reconstruction of pictures of places of creation of the world’s concepts, the monograph edited by T. Sadoń-Osowiecka “Place, space, landscape – educational signs” was chosen. Analyses of the works published in it was carried out on the basis of: location of the observer in an educational space, distance in the study conducted, applied techniques of recording the picture, and the preferred temporal distance in the recording of a picture. The said analysis indicated the role played in the understanding of the world by an individual through: (a) one’s association with “places” which give the status of tamed space; (b) valid and methodologically proper recognition of reality ‘from near’ and ‘from afar’, and treatment of these perspectives as mutually complementary; (c) the will not to eliminate from the pictures of the world “its” gloomy elements: the problems of school: hard situations of socially and culturally excluded people; marginalised places; (d) readiness to bear responsibility for the quality of being “among” people and “for” them, for the present and future of the life of their world.

<p align="center"> </p><p>There are various requirements in becoming the leader of madrasa in Islam, such as the existence of justice, honesty, resposibility, emphaty, and so fort, which are pertinent to the expert theories about leadership. It is preferrable that the leader of madrasah come from generous generation because, indirectly, it affects the leadership quality of the leader. Once a person become a leader in madrasa, he must be able to perform very well because it means that he deal with responsibility in the world and in the hereafter. Rasulullah saw. saw forbade people to  ask to be a leader, especially when they do not own most leadership aspects. If people insist for that responsibility, Allah swt might will not bless that job, and futhermore, there might be bad things happen in the future, such as students’ failure in national examination, lack of school achievement, lack of society reliance, and so forth. These might be happen since basically, Allah swt will not help people who ask for position.</p><p><strong>Keyword: </strong><em>Leader, Madrasa, Alquran, Hadits</em><strong> </strong></p>

The article deals with the issue of the artificial termination of pregnancy through the prism of, typically, conflicting relations between the subjects involved and their interests. It specifically addresses the most contentious and morally-ethically as well as legally complicated relationship between the pregnant woman (the future mother) and the embryo or pre-embryo. The article explains the positions of legal theory and jurisprudence in Slovenia and abroad regarding the status of an embryo as a legal person. The authoress moreover touches the question of legal status of the (potential future) father of such an embryo and presents regulations dealing with artificial termination of pregnancy in domestic and comparative law. Through a schematic summary of typical characteristics of such regulations around the world, which greatly differs in details, the author highlights their basic characteristics as well as individual trends in the field.

Abstract The concept of creative tourism, which is increasingly established in the world tourism scene, is inspired by the sharing of production modes, projecting the visitor to the role of active participant. It focuses on an element that allows local residents and visitors to share space, time, and knowledge for co-creating products or, more than that, for enabling interpersonal experiences. Today we can share time with an artisan, appropriating his techniques, breaks, materials, impressions, and desires and redesigning the final product to our needs; we can learn traditional dances by temporarily integrating a folkloric ranch; we can fish and cook with a fishing community; or we can share a studio with visual artists to learn how to paint. Despite the multiple languages from which we expand our potential for expression the feeling of belonging to a group, community, context, or a more global society emerges in us. Within this sense of collective identity, of which we are a part and contribute to its co-creation, we review and renew our own desire and individual identities.

Norway is among the leading countries in the world regarding the quantity and quality of treated sludge (biosolids) recycled to agriculture. However, for nearly 3 years ago the Norwegian Farmer's Union requested a scientific risk assessment of the use of biosolids for agricultural purposes. Considering the scepticism towards use of biosolids in agriculture in the neighbouring countries and possible impacts on domestic market mechanism, it cannot be taken for granted that agricultural outlets will continue to be the main recycling route in Norway in the future To meet these challenges the Norwegian Water and Wastewater Association (NORVAR) has developed a national communication program in order to enhance mutual confidence and information transfer between the major stakeholders. The main objective of the program is to promote public acceptance and confidence in the utilitarian value of recycled biosolids. The program was implemented in 2005 as a 3 year program period and comprises objectives, strategies and measures respectively. Experiences indicate that implementing the communication strategy will play an important role in securing biosolids recycling routes in Norway in the future. The paper will give a brief presentation of the program, experiences, results achieved, challenges and the way forward.
