The recent developments observed in the world are owed to the efforts of human capacities and capabilities. Zeal, flair and enthusiasm of work people keep the pace of development in steady mode. However, over a period of time, human motivation to work starts decreasing. In the western world studies have been carried out to find out factors which affect human motivation to devise strategies to enhance work motivation among individuals. It has been observed that determinants of motivation are cultural specific. Moreover it is associated with the world view of human being. Islam is distinguished religion from other religions of the world and forms its own culture. Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in his life time prepared a group of individuals who changed the socio-political scene of this world in few years. Their motivation level was un-parallel to anyone else. The current study explores methodologies of motivation used by the Prophet (SAW) to stimulate his companions. The originality and value of this study can be seen in the sense that it will provide basis for the formulation of motivational framework based on Islamic teachings. As a conclusion, team of researchers comprising of educationists, social scientists, and Islamic scholars must work together to find out framework of motivation in the present day environment.

Western Ideals

The 20th century may be considered the ultimate expression of Western ideals and philosophy: "civilized" humanity's attempt to dominate "uncivilized" peoples and nature. The 21st century soberingly proclaims the shortsightedness and ultimate unsustainability of this philosophy. This paper shows the limitations of a modern Western world-view, and the practical applicability of ideas to be found in Asian philosophies. In outline, the contrast may be portrayed by the following overgeneralizations: (1) From a linear to a cyclical world view; (2) from divine salvation to karmic necessity; (3) from human dominion over nature to human place within nature; (4) from the perfectibility of humanity and the world through science; (5) from atomistic mechanistic individualism to organic interdependence; (6) from competition to cooperation; (7) from glorification of wealth to respect for humanhood; (8) from absolute cultural values to necessary common values. Each of these attitudes is examined in light of what we now know about the world in the 21st century, as Asian philosophy is found applicable to address future problems.

Meta Theory

Is social theory possible without a positive ontology? Do we need ontology as the very first step toward/of theorisation? Is or isn't ontology a consequence of the theorisation process? Is a meta-theory/theory delineation nothing more than a rhetorical/discursive artifice? If that were the case, why should we give priority to one assumption/consequence (for example, ontology) over others? What are the conditions of possibility and/or limitations for giving priority to any ontological assumption? It is almost unthinkable among social scientists nowadays to envision a formulation of social theory that does not posit an ontological beginning point, that is, by making explicit/implicit assumptions on the most basic entities – subjects, objects, agents, structures, and/or processes – that one takes to be the foundations of the (world-) view being explored or posited. This is usually considered a theoretical necessity of, as much as a desire for, soundness driven by our conception of what theorising means, or should mean. The issue is even put at the heart of what politics is, or is about. ‘Politics is the terrain of competing ontologies’, says Wight. He, and, well before him, Walker, and Wendt, as well as most of today's social scientists, all assert that theories necessarily presuppose a basic positive ontology upon which all other considerations are built and that there is no social theory without ontology.

This qualitative study describes and interprets the lived experiences of African RomanCatholic Church seminarians (priests-in-training). The interpretive lens employed was worldview, a conceptual tool extensively used in African-centred psychology. Sixteen Africanseminarians (age range 21–31 years) were purposely selected and interviewed in depthAdditional sources of data were reflexive notes and observation notes. Data were subjected tovarious iterative cycles of analysis. Participants described their difficulty in adjusting in theseminaries where teaching and living predominantly reflects a Western world view. Theyevidenced cognitive dissonance, emotional discomfort and feelings of marginalisation. Thefindings point to the importance of acknowledging the world views and cultural heritage ofseminarians in their training.

Aim: This article describes ideas of Enlightenment thinkers about the building of a democratic state with responsible and rationally thinking citizens.

There are reasons to believe that the teachings of Aristotle, his way of thinking, had a significant impact on the formation of certain basic structures of the Western worldview and the thinking of Western people. The features of Aristotle's thinking patterns include: egocentrism in the basis of understanding of reality; phenomenologism (use of forms and phenomena in theoretical constructions without reference to essence); attitude to form as a self-sufficient principle, in isolation from the content; Aristotelian method of thinking suggests similarity, but does not imply the possibility of equalities, identities; therefore, in the Aristotelian picture of the world, the structure of the world is possible only as hierarchical; the use of causality that is close to everyday - teleological - causality, which leads to an understanding of the world as a system of fixed places, with its “embedded” a priori goals; a combination of two schemes in a world picture - hierarchism and a system of places - gives rise to an idea of the world as a hierarchical system of fixed places; this is how the physical, social and mental worlds are understood; the idea of the world as a hierarchical system of fixed places leads to a general scheme of understanding the world, which serves as a matrix for understanding other objects (for example, a person): the world has a center and periphery, with the center being the bottom and the top being the periphery; in the centrality of the lower and the peripherality of the higher there is a deep ambivalence; negation of infinity denies the possibility of any other picture of the world, and contains an implicit denial of the reality of the world. These mental schemes can be regarded to some extent as a key to Western thinking and the Western picture of the world.

The Voice

There are two most inevitable issues on national literature, in this case Indonesian literature. First is the translation and the second is the standard of world literature. Can one speak for the other as a representative? Why is this representation matter? Does translation embody the voice of the represented? Without translation Indonesian literature cannot gain its recognition in world literature, yet, translation conveys the voice of other. In the case of production, publication, or distribution of Indonesian Literature to the world, translation works can be very beneficial. The position of Indonesian literature is as a part of world literature. The concept that the Western world should be the one who represent the subaltern can be overcome as long as the subaltern performs as the active speaker. If the subaltern remains silent then it means it allows the “representation” by the Western.

Pulp Production

Beet pulp remaining after the extraction of sugar from beet is a good source of highly digestible fibre and energy used for animal feeding. Beet pulp is mostly used domestically but about 15% of global dried beet pulp production is exported to the world market. Although pulp have only little value as compared to sugar, sales of it abroad help generate additional income for the sugar industry with relatively low overheads. In contrast to sugar where import markets are protected by tariffs and non-tariff barriers while export volumes can be heavily regulated by governments, these restrictions are much less extensive for beet pulp trade. This article reviews recent developments in the world trade in beet pulp. The context of the article is based on the ISO study “World Trade of Molasses and Beet Pulp” MECAS(16)06.
