Kebanyakan negara di dunia yang mempunyai komposisi etnik yang pelbagai sering berhadapan dengan situasi ketegangan etnik, isu kuasa politik etnik, persaingan etnik, malah ada yang memuncak dengan konflik fizikal yang lebih radikal sehingga menyebabkan kehilangan nyawa dan harta benda. Isu etnik sentiasa mewarnai hubungan antara masyarakat dan keadaan ini juga berlaku di Malaysia. Pelbagai usaha telah dilakukan oleh kerajaan untuk memastikan hubungan antara etnik di Malaysia akan terus kekal harmoni sehingga kini. Usaha tersebut dilaksanakan melalui pelbagai program dan turut diterjemahkan dalam pelaksanaan dasar pendidikan negara. Hal yang menarik ialah usaha kerajaan dalam memastikan hubungan etnik sentiasa harmoni bukanlah perkara yang baharu dan menghairankan dalam masyarakat Dusun di Sabah. Amalan cara hidup dan sikap toleransi yang tinggi dalam komuniti ini sudah berakar umbi sejak sekian lama. Salah satu amalan yang menunjukkan sikap keterbukaan mereka yang tinggi terhadap perbezaan etnik dan agama ialah amalan mikorot. Justeru, objektif penulisan makalah ini adalah untuk menjelaskan makna dan konsep mikorot dalam budaya masyarakat Dusun, menjelaskan ritual pelaksanaan mikorot dan yang terakhir, mengetahui implikasi mikorot dan cabarannya dalam masyarakat. Hasil kajian yang diperoleh melalui kaedah kualitiatif menggunakan temu bual mendapati bahawa mikorot adalah satu upacara yang dilaksanakan oleh etnik Dusun di Sabah sebagai cara untuk mengesahkan nilai kekeluargaan mereka terhadap individu yang bukan ahli keluarga mereka tanpa melibatkan perkahwinan atau hubungan biologi. Selain itu, amalan mikorot ini juga berjaya memupuk hubungan yang harmoni antara etnik Dusun dengan etnik Dusun yang lain dan antara etnik Dusun dengan masyarakat lain di negeri Sabah. Kata kunci: Mikorot, korot, toleransi etnik, hubungan etnik. Many countries in the world with various ethnicities often face situations of ethnic tension, ethnic political power issues, ethnic rivalry, or even more radical, physical conflicts that lead to loss of lives and properties. Issues of ethnicity have always influenced the relationship between members of a society, and this situation also occurs in Malaysia.Various efforts have been made by the Malaysian government to ensure ethnic relations in the country harmonious. Efforts have been implemented through various programs including the implementation of the Malaysian education policy. Interestingly, harmonious ethnic relations are not new within the Dusun community in Sabah. The practice of such lifestyle and tolerance in this community existed there since time immemorial. One of the practices that demonstrates their high openness towards ethnic and religious differences is mikorot. This paper seeks to explain the meanings and concepts of mikorot in the culture of the Dusun community, the implementation rituals of mikorot, and the implications of mikorot and its challenges in society. The results obtained through a qualitative study using interviews found that mikorot is a ceremony performed by the Dusun ethnic community to establish or acknowledge in Sabah family ties with individuals who are not members of their families without involving marriage or biological relationships. In addition, the mikorot practice also fosters harmony among the various Dusun ethnics as well as between the Dusun ethnic and other communities in Sabah. Keywords: Mikorot, korot, ethnic tolerence, ethnic relation.

The new geological epoch Anthropocene poses a significant problem to people because it shows how human activities have started to change and shape the world negatively to a big extent. One way to deal with this problem is education, including English language teaching. In English language teaching, course books can be used to deal with the Anthropocene. When the literature was reviewed, it was seen that English language course books were evaluated according to English language teachers’ and students’ perspectives, but not with an Anthropocentric perspective. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate an English language course book used in Turkey with an Anthropocentric approach. It was designed as a qualitative study. The data collected were documented analyzed. Qualifications of the researcher and thick description were used for the trustworthiness of the research. The findings have indicated that the course book has units and parts of units related to nature. They have also shown that students can understand the relationship between people and nature by studying this course book. The results were discussed, and suggestions for further research were made.

The findings from this study suggest that 2-year-old children regularly use mark making as a tool to further support their emergent thoughts and understanding of the world. The qualitative study of three 2-year-old children uses observations and informal interviews to construct narrative stories of their explorations and play both at nursery and home. Analysed against schema theory, the findings recognise the important links between 2-year-old children’s emerging patterns of cognition, their schema and their mark making. Indicating and illustrating the high cognitive levels, 2-year-old children are capable of achieving resulting from their playful encounters with the world. This article supports Lazzari’s call ‘for a critical reconceptualization of the relationship existing between research and policymaking’. Only through refreshing the relationship between research and policymaking will we begin to alter the ‘limited educational purposes of play and drawing in curriculum policies in England’, and truly recognise the capabilities 2-year-old children naturally posses.

Nepal, though the only Hindu Kingdom in the world, nonetheless is a nation in which numerous Buddhist communities co-exist in tranquility with their Hindu neighbours. The Newars, the numerically dominant ethnic community of the Kathmandu Valley, and a people justly famed for their remarkable artistic achievements in sculpture, painting and architecture, offer a microcosm of this peaceful coexistence as internally they are composed of Hindu and Buddhist sections. The existence of these two separate yet interrelated religious traditions is of extreme interest as it is one of the few remaining examples of the situation found in India from the inception of Buddhism through its demise. In recent years there has been much speculation based upon textual analysis concerning the nature of the relationship between Hinduism and Buddhism. Nepal, particularly the Kathmandu Valley, is an area in which a study of the actual dynamics of the mutual interactions of Hinduism and Buddhism may be made. Moreover, an examination of Newar religious organization permits investigation of how an actual Buddhist community has come to terms with the Hindu caste structure. Once again, this is a subject on which there has been a great deal of speculation. While passages in various Buddhist texts can be found which attack the Brahmanical view of how society should be organized, nevertheless little is known about how, in fact, Buddhists related to their Hindu neighbours. Lastly, the Newars who have replaced the usual Buddhist monastic structure with a married clergy offer an opportunity of examining the precise nature of the relationship between Buddhism and asceticism.

Összefoglaló. A pedagógia és a pszichológia tudománya között szorosabb és szervesebb a kapcsolat, több a párhuzamosság, mint a pedagógia és más társadalomtudományok között. Az Educatio jelen füzetének bevezető tanulmánya vázlatosan érinti Herbarttól az 1980-as évekig a változó értelmezésű pedagógia és az (alkalmazott) lélektan tudományának eszmei kapcsolatát, intézményesülésüket a centralizált állam és a növekvő politikai hatalom világában. A tanulmány ismerteti a lapszámban megjelent sztálini és a posztsztálini időszakban a pszichológia és pedagógia viszonyrendszerének változásait, a pszichológia intézményesülését bemutató tanulmányokat. Summary. There is more parallelism, a closer and a more organic relationship between pedagogy and the science of psychology than between pedagogy and any other social science. The introductory study of Educatio 2020, No. 4. provides a sketchy historical survey of the relationship between the science of changing pedagogy and (applied) psychology in the world of centralized state and growing political power and ideology, from Herbart to the 1980s. This introduction briefly describes the studies in the issue that discuss changes in the relationship between psychology and pedagogy in the Stalin and the post-Stalin period.

Abstract Background Violation of mothers' rights during childbirth is a global problem that often silently torments women in many parts of the world. The aim of this study was to explore negative health consequences due to childbirth violence based on mothers' perceptions and experiences. Methods To achieve rich data, an exploratory qualitative study was carried out in 2019 on 26 women with childbirth violence experience who had given birth in hospitals of Ilam, Iran. Data were collected using semi‑structure in‑depth interviews (IDIs) and a purposive sampling. Participants were asked about their experiences and perceptions of negative health consequences due to childbirth violence. Data were analyzed by conventional content analysis based on Graneheim and Lundman approach. MAXQDA (v.18) software was used for better data management. Results Final codes were classified into 9 sub-categories and 3 main categories including maternal and newborn injuries, weakening of family ties, sense of distrust and hatred. These findings emerged the theme: negative health consequences. Conclusions This study broke the silence of abused mothers during childbirth and expressed the perspective of mothers who suffered childbirth violence as a routine phenomenon in maternal care, and a serious threat to the health of mothers, newborns and families. Findings of this study can be a warning for maternity health system, monitoring and support structures as well as health policy-makers to seriously plan to prevent and eliminate this problem.

The objective of this paper is to de­scribe the framing of the pandem­ic that the world currently endures during the mandatory quarantine taking place in Argentina. This par­ticular study is part of a bigger cor­pus of research that investigates the relationship between discourses held by enterprises, politicians and media in the digital age and how it affects communication at times of crisis. This is a qualitative study that explores emerging metaphorical language that is being implemented to communicate salient aspects of the unprecedented phenomenon that is COVID-19 in a partial way. It is important to point out that the analysis is made at the same time that the crisis is unfolding. In order to develop this perspective, we will rely on a previous framework developed to study communication of crisis. Our research has led us to identify a “family” of metaphors that emerge from the headlines of the cor­pus: war, care and time. Identifying and understanding the emerging met­aphors is the first step to avoid contra­dictions that can lead to double binds. Keywords: crisis, pandemic, digital me­dia, metaphors, double binds.

This paper explores the relationship between education and labour market positioning in The Hague, a Dutch city with a unique labour market. One of the main minority groups, Turkish-Dutch, is the focus in this qualitative study on higher educated minorities and their labour market success. Interviews reveal that the obstacles the respondents face are linked to discrimination and network limitation. The respondents perceive “personal characteristics” as the most important tool to overcoming the obstacles. Education does not only increase their professional skills, but also widens their networks. The Dutch education system facilitates the chances of minorities in higher education through the “layering” of degrees.

Virginia Woolf and Being-in-the-world: A Heideggerian Study explores Woolf’s treatment of the relationship between self and world from a phenomenological-existential perspective. This study presents a timely and compelling interpretation of Virginia Woolf’s textual treatment of the relationship between self and world from the perspective of the philosophy of Martin Heidegger. Drawing on Woolf’s novels, essays, reviews, letters, diary entries, short stories, and memoirs, the book explores the political and the ontological, as the individual’s connection to the world comes to be defined by an involvement and engagement that is always already situated within a particular physical, societal, and historical context. Emma Simone argues that at the heart of what it means to be an individual making his or her way in the world, the perspectives of Woolf and Heidegger are founded upon certain shared concerns, including the sustained critique of Cartesian dualism, particularly the resultant binary oppositions of subject and object, and self and Other; the understanding that the individual is a temporal being; an emphasis upon intersubjective relations insofar as Being-in-the-world is defined by Being-with-Others; and a consistent emphasis upon average everydayness as both determinative and representative of the individual’s relationship to and with the world.
