First language vocabulary development and phonological development are important for a child to interact with others and to acquire second language. This current research aims to explore the first language vocabulary development and phonological development of an Indonesian child. The subject of this current research is an Indonesian female child aged 2.10 years. Recordings were employed as the research instrument to collect data. The data were collected by recording the child’s utterances within a three-month period, commencing from February 5, 2019 to April 23, 2019. There were nine (9) recordings in February, twenty-five (25) recordings in March, and twenty-six (26) recording in April. To explore the child’s first language vocabulary and phonological development, the recordings of the child’s utterances were transcribed. The findings show that the vocabulary development of the child occurred in the names of animals, vegetables, fruits, transportation, stationary, numbers, colours, and family members. In addition, the findings also indicate that child’s phonological development did not yet happen in the second month of the research (March 2019). It occurred in the third month only in the categories of other things and colours. A study should be further conducted with more categories, not only focusing on the main four parts of speech – nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs, but also on pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and articles.

A case study on a female Malay living in the UK with serious eczema was presented. Her parents believed that it was a condition called santau, a common cultural belief in South East Asian countries. Santau is believed as the insertion of poisonous materials into the victim’s body with the help of jinn. Santau is normally differentiated from other medical skin conditions by the rapid deterioration of the condition and rapid improvement after successful treatment. Her skin condition was intolerable after a trip to Malaysia. Unable to be admitted to hospital because of the pressure on hospital beds during the Covid-19 pandemic, she resorted to intensive multiple-day ruqyah therapy, a therapy based on the incantation of verses from the Quran. Remarkable improvement was observed after three days. Apart from delivering therapeutic outcome, ruqyah therapy as a Traditional and Complementary Medicine has its role in relieving the pressure on the mainstream health system especially in time of pandemic.

Human urine is currently the subject of biomedical investigations as a potential therapeutic resource and it continues to be used in remedies in different cultures and societies, including the Spanish culture. In this study we gather etnomedical knowledge about urotherapy and determine their associated symbolisms in Spain. A literature overview and a case study were carried out to compile urine-based remedies and as a direct analysis of symbolic systems. Urotherapy is widespread in Spanish folk medicine. Among the 204 collected remedies, those related to treatment of diseases or skin conditions predominate (63%). Remedies have been reported for the treatment of skin diseases such as eczema, chloasma, alopecia, etc. to treat or alleviate burns, chilblains, wounds or skin chapping, and as a treatment of venomous bites. Most of the collected remedies have an associated naturalist symbolism, based on local traditions and the transmission of empirical initial knowledge. The use of urine in Spain is a result of the interaction of two types of practice: a local and traditional urotherapy, rural and with a utilitarian purpose, and a technical urotherapy, limited to an urban environment and a naturopathic medicine.
