Background: Children of parents with mental illness are not routinely included in psychoeducational and supportive family interventions provided by adult mental health systems. The family, therefore, is an important and, sometimes, the only source of information and support for them. Aim: To understand the experiences of well parents in talking to their children about parental mental illness. Method: This article presents the findings of a qualitative study of the experiences of well parents in talking to their children about parental mental illness. Ten well parents whose spouses were diagnosed with a severe mental illness participated in the study. Socio-demographic information, family details and history of the spouse’s mental illness along with their experiences of talking to children about parental mental illness, the perceived risks and benefits, challenges they faced and the role of others in the process were recorded. Qualitative data were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Findings: The themes of ‘distancing children from parental mental illness’, ‘avoiding conversations about the illness’, ‘giving and receiving emotional support’, ‘providing explanations of the illness’ and ‘regulating other sources of information’ show the complex ways in which well parents influence their children’s understanding of parental mental illness. The findings are examined in the background of what is known about this topic from the perspective of children or of the parent with illness. Possible ways to support well parents in families affected by parental mental illness are discussed. Conclusion: This study is a step forward in the understanding of how families talk to children about parental mental illness and provides the perspective of the well parent.

Batu and Täbä are symbols and cultural relics in Salutambun. The main ideas represented through Batu and Täbä were the providence of God in the history of the local people. Reviving this meaning is the main purpose of the author. The last few decades after the community was dominated by Christianity, the center of community attention switched to the background of symbol founders (non-Christians) and the emergence of the title of "Guardian of the village" indicating idolatry. Both of these problems bore rejection of the symbol, and the meaning represented in it began to be forgotten by society. By that, the author was encouraged to construct the meaning of symbols as well as show their relevance to Christianity. The methods used are qualitative research methods, with symbolic interaction strategies. The source of information is customary parents, some community leaders, and churches, as well as documents/records history of Salutambun. The collected data was analyzed using the symbol theory of Ernst Cassirer. After conducting research, it was discovered that Batu and Täbä represented God's providence and contributed to the preaching of the gospel.Batu dan Täbä adalah simbol sekaligus peninggalan budaya di Salutambun. Gagasan utama yang direpresentasikan melalui Batu dan Täbä adalah pemeliharaan Allah dalam sejarah masyarakat setempat. Menghidupkan kembali makna inilah yang menjadi tujuan utama penulis. Beberapa dekade terakhir setelah masyarakat didominasi oleh Kekristenan, pusat perhatian masyarakat beralih ke latar belakang pendiri simbol (non-kristen) dan munculnya gelar “penjaga kampung” yang mengindikasikan penyembahan berhala. Kedua masalah ini melahirkan penolakan terhadap simbol, dan makna yang direpresentasikan di dalamnya mulai dilupakan masyarakat. Olehnya itu, penulis terdorong untuk mengonstruksi makna simbol sekaligus menunjukkan relevansinya bagi kekristenan. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian kualitatif, dengan strategi interaksi simbolik. Sumber informasi adalah orang tua adat, beberapa tokoh masyarakat dan gereja, serta dokumen/catatan sejarah Salutambun. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis menggunakan teori simbol dari Ernst Cassirer. Setelah melakukan penelitian, ditemukan bahwa Batu dan Täbä merepresentasikan pemeliharaan Allah dan memiliki kontribusi bagi pemberitaan Injil.

The article discusses the main milestones of cooperation between the two states – the USSR / Russia and China from the middle of the 20th century to the present. The author cites a number of printed periodicals as sources of information on the development of bilateral relations at different time periods. The dynamics of relations is traced against the backdrop of changing internal and external conditions for the development and interaction of countries: first in the format of socialist ideology (the 50s – the first half of the 60s and in the 80s of the 20th century), then against the background of new realities life of the Russian state and China (90s of the XX century and in the present). The magazines Zheleznodorozhny Transport, Zheleznodorozhnye dorogi mira (printed materials of the Ministry of Railways), departmental regional newspapers Pogranichny transportnik, Dzerzhinets are an interesting source of information about the events and problems of Soviet-Chinese relations, their prospects and successes. The author refers to the latest sources of socio-political and socio-economic information on international cooperation - electronic resources. The author introduces museum sources into circulation as examples of the policy of "popular diplomacy".

In sociological and anthropological studies, people often appear as anonymous representatives of their groups. The question arises of what we could learn about them if we had the opportunity, even many years later, to discover their identities. The author answers this question by a case study derived from Józef Chałasiński’s classic work ‘The Younger Generation of Peasants’ (1938), which was based on life histories submitted to a competition for rural youth. On the basis of memories, documents, and other sources, the author of the present article reconstructs the biography of a peasant from Central Poland, Józef Próchniak (1876–1934) from the village of Dęba. Appearing marginally as ‘Józef’ in one of the life histories submitted to the competition, he is revealed to have been a person of rich biography. This article describes Próchniak’s relations with his social environment and with broader history and is a sociological account of one hundred years of history in his village and neighbourhood. The example demonstrates the misconceptions that exist about ‘classes without history’ and shows that writingthe history of ‘ordinary people’ is possible.

The development of empirical medicine of the Mesolithic period is closely connected with the worldview, religious beliefs and beliefs of primitive men. The difficulty in studying medicine of this period is due to the lack of written sources of information. The use of the method of reconstruction on the basis of multifactor analysis and comparison of historical events, the results of archaeological, climatogeographic, paleobotanical, paleozoological, paleopathological and ethnographic studies, socio-economic activities of people, their religious beliefs and worldview allows to present the peculiarities to their health. An important source of information is the art of primitive society, its symbolic and symbolic system, which most accurately reflects the worldview and beliefs of man, the attitude to their health.

ABSTRACT: This paper discusses some correspondence between Robert Schomburgk (1804–1865) and Adolphe Brongniart (1801–1876). Four letters survive, containing information about the history of Schomburgk's collection of fishes and plants from British Guiana, and his herbarium specimens from Dominican Republic and southeast Asia. A study of these letters has enabled us to confirm that Schomburgk supplied the collection of fishes from Guiana now in the Laboratoire d'Ichtyologie, Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris. The letters of the German naturalist are an interesting source of information concerning the practice of sale and exchange of natural history collections in the nineteenth century in return for honours.

Bible Reading

The Lisu are a largely Christian minority group in south-west China who, as an oral culture, express their faith more through a set of Christian practices done as a group and less through bible reading as individuals. Even so, the Lisu practice of Christianity specifically, and Lisu culture more generally, was profoundly impacted by the written scriptures. During the initial evangelisation of the Lisu by the China Inland Mission, missionaries created a written script for the Lisu language. Churches were constructed and organised, which led to the creation of bible schools and the work of bible translation. In the waves of government persecution after 1949, Lisu New Testaments were hidden away up in the mountains by Lisu Christians. After 1980, the Lisu reclaimed their faith by listening to the village elders tell the Old Story around the fires and reopening the churches that had been closed for twenty-two years. And they reclaimed their bible by retrieving the scriptures from the hills and copying them in the evening by the light of a torch. The Lisu bible has its own narrative history, consisting of script creating, translating, migrating, and copying by hand. At times it was largely influenced by the mission narrative, but at other times, the Lisu bible itself was the lead character in the story. Ultimately, the story of the Lisu bible reflects the Lisu Christian story of moving from missionary beginnings to local leadership and, ultimately, to local theological inquiry.

History Of

The ideas of an “Islamic Reformation” and a “Muslim Luther” have been much discussed, especially since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. This “Reformation” rhetoric, however, displays little consistency, encompassing moderate, liberalizing trends as well as their putative opposite, Islamist “fundamentalism.” The rhetoric and the diverse phenomena to which it refers have provoked both enthusiastic endorsement and vigorous rejection. After briefly surveying the history of “Islamic Reformation” rhetoric, the present article argues for a four-part typology to account for most recent instances of such rhetoric. The analysis reveals that few who employ the terminology of an “Islamic Reformation” consider the specific details of its implicit analogy to the Protestant Reformation, but rather use this language to add emotional weight to various prescriptive agendas. However, some examples demonstrate the potential power of the analogy to illuminate important aspects of religious, social, and political change in the modern Islamic world.

Primary Focus

The recent entry of the US multinational Walmart into South Africa has proved to be a source of controversy. Key stakeholders in South Africa objected to the merger and attempted to block it unless certain conditions were met. The aim of this study was to examine the controversy and the conditions surrounding the merger. The research employed a qualitative archival analysis to examine publicly available sources of information with regard to the merger. The findings revealed key stakeholders’ concerns that Walmart’s entry would lead to an increase in imports which would displace local producers, increase unemployment, marginalise trade unions and lower labour standards unless certain conditions were met. The results also revealed problems relating to the firm’s primary focus on “business” while neglecting “public interest” issues, naively relying on their “local retailer” to manage key stakeholders, and assuming that their perceived controversial reputation regarding treatment of trade unions and their views about unemployment as well as the controversies surrounding their history of entry into other global markets would not have the major negative impact it did on stakeholders in South Africa.
