Exploring the roots of four keywords for our times: Europe, the citizen, the individual, and the people, Mariarosaria Gianninoto’s and James Underhill’s Migrating Meanings (2019) takes a broad view of conceptualization by taking on board various forms of English, (Scottish, American, and English), as well as other European languages (German, French, Spanish & Czech), and incorporating in-depth contemporary and historical accounts of Mandarin Chinese. The corpus-based research leads the authors to conclude that the English keywords are European concepts with roots in French and parallel traditions in German. But what happens to Chinese words when they come into contact with migrating meanings from Europe? How are existing concepts like the people transformed? This book goes beyond the cold analysis of concepts to scrutinize the keywords that move people and get them excited about individual rights and personal destinies. With economic, political and cultural globalisation, our world is inseparable from the fates of other nations and peoples. But how far can we trust English to provide us with a reliable lingua franca to speak about our world? If our keywords reflect our cultures and form parts of specific cultural and historical narratives, they may well trace the paths we take together into the future. This book helps us to understand how other languages are adapting to English words, and how their worldviews resist ‘anglo-concepts’ through their own traditions, stories and worldviews.

Abstract Reading the book of Zechariah as a whole for its theology requires giving special attention to the way that the historical narratives in 1:1-6, 7-8, and 11:4-17 shape the discourse. The opening narrative, 1:1-6, delineates the movement of the book as YHWH returns to Zion and so calls for the returning exiles to return to their god. Chapters seven and eight clarify what it means for the people to return to YHWH, in line with the earlier prophets’ call to pursue justice. 11:4-17 narrates the failure of especially the leaders to enact justice and the consequences of this failure. Nevertheless, the book affirms the promise of YHWH to do good to Zion, even if modified and cast into the eschatological future.

Silent Era

The article focuses on the first period in the history of Australian cinema. It is well-known that the present is always rooted in the past. This is true of any national cinema, and the Australian one is no exception. This subject is relevant in the light of the fact that, in the first place, the reasons for the contemporary boom in Australian cinema are impossible to understand and analyze unless they are derived from the awareness of the first steps of Australian cinema. It was in the very first years of the existence of Australian cinema that there emerged a special worldview, inherent in the cinematographic messages of this nation, that would later become iconic of Australian cinema: addressing the reality of Australia, love for its wild and beautiful nature and for the people who civilize this severe land. In their works the filmmakers of the Green Continent have almost always unflaggingly introduced two protagonists, an animate one, a manly, daring human being, and an inanimate one, the nature, magnificent, powerful, unexplored... At the same time, there was formed an image of a Hero: a fair, proud man, for whom honor and dignity are closely linked to striving for freedom. A conflict between the Individual and a soulless system is manifested in the early bushranger films and in the contemporary ones alike, now that the films by the Australian filmmakers come out again and again featuring the Individuals attempts at breaking his bondage. The novelty of this research lies in the fact that while the contemporary period of Australian cinema is well-covered in the global film criticism, the past of this national cinema is almost unknown. Considering the interest in the phenomenon of the contemporary cinema of the Green Continent, the author concludes that the global success of the Australian films today is largely linked to the accomplishments of the cinema pioneers, who against tough competition from American and English films, have laid a foundation for the future victories of this special national cinema.

This article discusses the responses and views of Kiai Pesantren regarding the exclusive rights in the use of a work. This discussion based on the reasons that Kiai Pesantren is a public figure whose opinion is often used as references in the thoughts and behavior of the people, especially those who are Muslim and santri, so that they also influence the effectiveness of norms in society. In There are four Kiai Pesantren in Semarang City that are the subjects of this study. This article concludes, first, the existence of the Copyright Act is considered important if the Act is intended to protect the interests of the creator. The existence of laws that protect the interests of the creators is said to be able to facilitate the fulfillment of the concept of huquq maliyah. However, they do not agree with the copyright model that puts forward the monopoly in exploiting a work. Second, efforts to protect the interests of the creator in the form of granting individual rights to exploit a work need to be limited, so that such exclusive rights do not actually cause the use of the creation for the dissemination of knowledge to be impeded. Therefore, in the future exclusive individual rights need to be balanced with aspects of the benefit of a work for the dissemination and development of knowledge. Abstrak Artikel ini membahas respons dan pandangan Kiai Pesantren tentang hak eksklusif dalam penggunaan suatu ciptaan. Pembahasan demikian didasarkan pada alasan Kiai Pesantren merupakan tokoh masyarakat yang pendapatnya sering dijadikan referensi dalam pemikiran dan perilaku masyarakat terutama yang beragama Islam dan apalagi dari kalangan santri, sehingga turut memengaruhi efektivitas keberlakuan suatu norma di masyarakat. Dalam artikel ini, ada empat Kiai Pesantren yang menjadi subyek penelitiannya. Artikel ini menunjukkan, pertama, keberadaan UU Hak Cipta dinilai penting oleh Kiai Pesantren jika peraturan tersebut dimaksudkan untuk melindungi kepentingan pencipta. Keberadaan UU yang melindungi kepentingan pencipta dikatakan mereka dapat memfasilitasi terpenuhinya konsep huquq maliyah. Namun demikian, mereka tidak sepakat dengan model hak cipta yang terlalu mengedepankan monopoli dalam mengeskploitasi suatu ciptaan. Kedua, upaya perlindungan kepentingan pencipta dalam bentuk pemberian hak individual untuk mengeksploitasi suatu ciptaan perlu dibatasi, sehingga hak eksklusif yang demikian tidak malah menyebabkan pemanfaatan ciptaan itu bagi penyebarluasan ilmu pengetahuan menjadi terhambat. Karena itu, ke depan hak eksklusif yang individual itu perlu diseimbangkan dengan aspek kemanfaatan suatu ciptaan bagi penyebarluasan dan pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan.

This chapter treats the individual as a conceptual problem, both a modern ideal and a European characteristic. But the authors set out by considering the European traditions that have warned against excessive individualism, from the Church, from Marxists, and even from those who are now seen today as the champions of individual rights (such as John S. Mill). The enlightened individualism of William James and John Dewey, and the celebration of the individual by American poets such as Walt Whitman, is contrasted with Marxist objections to the keyword. Milan Kundera’s story about Ludvík, in The Joke, shows the way Czech communists mistrusted individualists and considered them to be enemies of the people. The Chinese section treats ‘individual’ as a foreign term, like citizen, that is introduced to Chinese after being borrowed from Japanese. The authors argue that the keywords used to denote the individual in Chinese and other languages have never been neutral. Clearly perceived in negative terms for many decades in China, the authors explore the way citizens began to discuss individual rights and individual obligations when the Chinese economy and the society began to open up after 1978.

The article examines the image-symbol of a vicious circle in the work of the social satirist M. E. Saltykov-Shchedrin. This image, plays an important role in creating a picture of the Russian national world. The circle embodies integrity, continuity, initial perfection and – hopelessness, fate, dead end. In the works of the satirist, the image-symbol of a vicious circle carries the meaning of stagnation, lifelessness, denial of the future, mysterious predestination. With regard to the social sphere, this image-symbol was used in the 19th century. French socialist-utopian Charles Fourier in his work “The New Economic and Societal World, or the Invention of a Method of Attractive and Naturally Appropriate Labor Distributed in Series of Passions”, a representative of the radical democratic wing in Russian journalism D. I. Pisarev (article “Realists”). In the works of Saltykov-Shchedrin, the idea of avicious circle appears repeatedly. The satire “The History of a City” testifies that the despotic forms of government, replacing one another, the power of the reactionary dark forces are a kind of fate for the country and the people. The existence of representatives of the local nobility, the popular masses, moves in a vicious circle, marked by stagnation, hopelessness, emptiness, and lack of hope for the future. The same can be said about the situation in the Russian outback: there only meaningless repetitions of events, the renewal of identical phenomena are possible. The conservative-protective desire to mythologize history, an apology for absolutism, is fraught with the danger of distorting the meaning of history, its driving forces, denying the centuries-old trials that have befallen the country and the people. For Saltykov-Shchedrin, the image of a vicious circle is associated with the riddle of Russian national destiny, which he has been trying to comprehend over the years. Striving for the ideal of social harmony, overcoming the vicious circle of predetermination for the enlightener, moralist was associated with both social transformations and moral renewal of the individual, with the awakening of Shame, Conscience and Truth in an individual and in the whole society, with their spiritual transformation, which gives an opportunity to make a breakthrough, initiate a purposeful life-giving movement forward.

Patients can and do record their consultations in general practice. Data suggests that 19% of doctors have reported being recorded, with 40% of these being unaware at the time. Due to rapid advancements in technology in recent years, over three quarters of patients that attend clinical consultations have the ability to take audio or video recordings using internet-connected smartphones. This paper will look at the individual rights of both the doctor and the patient with regard to recording clinical consultations, assess the advantages and disadvantages that can result and ask whether the future of the doctor–patient relationship is threatened by this modern behaviour.

ABSTRACTUU no. 7/2017 concerning General Elections, is the legal protection for the implementation of the 2019 General Election using the system presidential threshold. The problem is, this is seen as castration of individual rights where power is in the hands of the people. Equal treatment before the law and politics in the context of nominating the President and Vice President is limited to parties that are part of and meet the threshold in the 2014 general election. This research found that the implementation of the system Presidential Threshold in Indonesia was an embodiment of the people's sovereignty itself. Where the individual directly determines the leader, and in making the requirements to become a leader, and the DPR is a representation of the people. This eliminates concerns in the community when the system will be ratified Presidential Threshold in Law Number 7 of 2017 concerning Elections so that the people's sovereignty in the threshold system is by siyasah syar’iyyah where ahlul halli wa al-‘aqdi can determine candidate leaders and Bai’ah is a form of the general election in determining the leader.Keywords: People’s Sovereignty, Presidential Threshold, Siyasah al-Syar’iyyah.\ABSTRAKUU No. 7 /2017 tentang Pemilihan Umum dasar hukum dilaksanakannya Pilkada Umum Tahun 2019 dengan menggunakan system presidential threshold. Persoalannya adalah, hal ini dipandang sebagai pengebirian hak-hak individu dimana kekuasaan berada di tangan rakyat. Perlakuan yang setara di depan hukum dan politik dalam rangka mencalonkan Presiden dan Wakil Presiden menjadi terbatas hanya pada partai yang menjadi bagian dan mencukupi -threshold di pemilihan umum 2014. Riset ini menjumpai bahwa pelaksanaan sistem Presidential Threshold di Indonesia merupakan perwujudan dari kedaulatan rakyat itu sendiri. Di mana individu secara langsung menentukan pemimpin, dan dalam pembuatan persyaratan untuk menjadi pemimpin, yang mana DPR adalah representasi dari rakyat. Hal ini menghapuskan kekhawatiran di masyarakat ketika akan disahkannya sistem Presidential Threshold dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 tentang Pemilu, sehingga kedaulatan rakyat dalam sistem ambang batas sudah sesuai dengan siyasah syar’iyyah dimana ahlul halli wa al-‘aqdi memiliki kapasitas untuk menentukan calon permimpin dan Bai’ah adalah bentuk dari pemilihan umum dalam menentukan pemimpin.Kata Kunci: Kedaulatan Rakyat, Presidential Threshold, Siyasah Syar’iyyah.

Universals Archive (Universal #1926) indicates a universal tendency for sound symbolism in reference to the expression of diminutives and augmentatives. The research ( Štekauer et al. 2009 ) carried out on European languages has not proved the tendency at all. Therefore, our research was extended to cover three language families – Indo-European, Niger-Congo and Austronesian. A three-step analysis examining different aspects of phonetic symbolism was carried out on a core vocabulary of 35 lexical items. A research sample was selected out of 60 languages. The evaluative markers were analyzed according to both phonetic classification of vowels and consonants and Ultan's and Niewenhuis' conclusions on the dominance of palatal and post-alveolar consonants in diminutive markers. Finally, the data obtained in our sample languages was evaluated by means of a three-dimensional model illustrating the place of articulation of the individual segments.

A novel, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), causes severe acute respiratory syndrome and spread globally from Wuhan, China. In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared the SARS-Cov-2 virus as a COVID- 19, a global pandemic. This pandemic happened to be followed by some restrictions, and specially lockdown playing the leading role for the people to get disassociated with their personal and social schedules. And now the food is the most necessary thing to take care of. It seems the new challenge for the individual is self-isolation to maintain themselves on the health basis and fight against the pandemic situation by boosting their immunity. Food organised by proper diet may maintain the physical and mental health of the individual. Ayurveda aims to promote and preserve the health, strength and the longevity of the healthy person and to cure the disease by properly channelling with and without Ahara. In Ayurveda, diet (Ahara) is considered as one of the critical pillars of life, and Langhana plays an important role too. This article will review the relevance of dietetic approach described in Ayurveda with and without food (Asthavidhi visheshaytana & Lanhgan) during COVID-19 like a pandemic.
