The notion of transformative learning has been echoed by the Indonesian government in the National Standard of Education (2020, 2015). A shift from the teacher-centric into the student-centric pedagogy is a prerequisite to trigger the learning transformation. However, in the field of English language teaching (ELT) in particular, there remains a firm reliance on the dogma of modern linguistics that positions linguistic description and grammatical mastery as the key for meaning-making mechanism. Consequently, such monolithic ELT pedagogy expects a steady compliance from the students in relation to learning, and thus learners' creative agency was removed. This paper is a reflection on how the learning of academic writing unit was approached differently by using a multisensorial-multicognitive pedagogy as informed by neuroscience, thus breaking away from linguistics as the sole informing theory for learning language. This new academic writing pedagogy embraces language learning as a complex system, thus incorporating other bio-psychological components in learning such as rhythm, intonation, movement, emotion, and aesthetics. This paper highlights how these components were used creatively in the three innovative learning tools – Verbotonal Approach, Reading for Emotions, and Aesthetics – to support agentive learning practice in academic writing course. This new pedagogy was developed in a doctoral research project in an Australian university and was proven effective to help students transform their learning practices.

La teoría de la "maldición del petróleo" vincula la riqueza petrolífera de un país con la durabilidad de su régimen autoritario. Y sostiene que disponer de este recurso en abundancia permite a los autócratas obstaculizar la transición democrática al obviar los impuestos de los ciudadanos y redistribuir la riqueza sin lograr una adecuada y necesaria cohesión social. Este trabajo revisa la literatura relevante, evaluando cualitativamente sus predicciones a través de un estudio de caso en profundidad de la resistencia del régimen autoritario argelino ante los disturbios políticos y populares del año 2011. Finalmente, este trabajo busca ir más allá del argumento determinista de "la riqueza petrolíferaautoritarismo", propone examinar con cuidado la interacción estratégica entre los factores específicos de un país y la riqueza petrolífera, y estudia cómo la confluencia de estos factores ha determinado la supervivencia del régimen autoritario argelino desde el año 2011. ; The "oil curse thesis" links a country's oil largesse inter alia to the durability of its authoritarian regime. And it contends that abundant oil revenues enable autocrats to stymie democratic transition by obviating taxation from citizens, buying off their political acquiescence, bolstering the repressive apparatus and thwarting the formation of civil society. This paper revisits the relevant literature by qualitatively testing its predictions on an in-depth case study of the Algerian regime in the face of the political crisis and riots of 2011. Going beyond the deterministic argument on "oil wealth-authoritarianism", it carefully examines the strategic interaction between country-specific factors and oil wealth and studies how the confluence of these factors has shaped the survival of the authoritarian regime in Algeria since 2011.

This presentation focuses on the challenges and practical issues faced each day by orphans of the HIV epidemic and the holistic care that can be provided, as they continue to grow from toddlerhood to adolescence and beyond. An HIV Research Trust Scholarship enabled me to spend quality time in a sub‐Saharan African province worst hit by the HIV epidemic and to interact with local experts and learn from mutual clinical experience. It was an immensely useful exercise as the clinical spectra of the diseases are very similar to ours and they have ongoing active research programs very relevant to our setting. India is arguably home to the largest number of orphans of the HIV epidemic. The responsibility of caring for orphaned children overwhelms and pushes many extended families beyond their ability to cope. Many countries are experiencing large increases in the number of families headed by women and grandparents, or even young children. These households are often unable to meet basic needs, and so the number of children living on the streets is rising. Orphaned children are disadvantaged in many devastating ways. In addition to the trauma of witnessing the sickness and death of one or both parents and perhaps siblings, they lack the necessary parental guidance through crucial life‐stages of identity formation and transition into adulthood. They are more likely to suffer damage to their cognitive and emotional development and be subjected to; exploitation in terms of labour, social exclusion, extreme economic uncertainty, physical and sexual abuse, illiteracy, malnutrition and illness. Education remains a distant dream. With stigma and discrimination, they lack legal protection, lose inheritance rights, access to essential services available to other community members and professional help from doctors, teachers and lawyers. The implications for these unfortunate children are extraordinarily grave but governments, international agencies, non‐governmental organizations, schools, other community groups and individuals can still alter the course of the crisis. The Committed Communities Development Trust (CCDT) is a voluntary secular Trust, reaching out to 300,000 people annually, focusing intensively on children affected and infected by HIV/AIDS, mainly orphans, child headed families, children living in street situations, brothels, institutions and children at risk of drug addiction, abuse and exploitation in Mumbai. We run several comprehensive HIV/AIDS programmes addressing issues of prevention, care, support, education, awareness, empowerment, training and research through strongly structured home‐based care programs, community based programs and temporary residential shelters. The CCDT recognizes and understands the daunting challenges these children face and helps them overcome these as a team by providing comprehensive care and support, giving them an opportunity in life and enabling them to become productive citizens of tomorrow.

La presente tesi prende forma dal mio interesse per il parto anonimo, dal mio desiderio di approfondire le dinamiche ad esso relative e i motivi che ne hanno garantito la permanenza nel nostro ordinamento. Il mio obiettivo è anche quello di spiegare che si tratta di un'opzione offerta proprio dalla legge alla donna italiana e che permette alla genitrice di effettuare un abbandono legale, tutelando la salute della donna e del nato. Il lavoro analizza il principale strumento di tutela dei figli di ignoti, ovvero di coloro che non sono stati riconosciuti alla nascita né dal padre né dalla madre, che si realizza mediante una tempestiva dichiarazione dello stato di adottabilità. Si mettono in evidenza le differenze che ci sono, nella valutazione dell'abbandono e nel procedimento relativo allo stato di adottabilità, tra i figli di genitori noti e i figli di genitori ignoti. Si prende in considerazione il fatto che in tale materia vi sono interessi in conflitto che l'ordinamento ha il compito di bilanciare, tra questi: il diritto dell'adottato ad accedere alle informazioni sulle proprie origine e il diritto della madre all'anonimato.

Bangladesh's multicultural and syncretic past is reflected in its artefacts. The Musée Guimet of France planned an exhibition of about 200 masterpieces from the five major museums of Bangladesh in 2007. Against a background of a wider public disinterest in the concept of 'cultural property', a plethora of demonstrations and lawsuits sought to block the export of objects as the process was perceived to disregard Bangladeshi and international laws. A polarization of positions emerged among the Bangladeshi left‐liberal networks. Through an exploration of the events of the Guimet débâcle this paper brings into focus the debates relating to the national and universal in the context of the status of artefacts as the identity and patrimony of the Bangladeshi nation. The Guimet affair exemplifies how artefacts can play a powerful role in the contestation of the politics of Bengali Muslim identity in a postcolonial nation.RésuméLes artefacts du Bangladesh reflètent le passé multiculturel et syncrétique du pays. Le Musée Guimet français avait prévu d'organiser en 2007 une exposition d'environ 200 pièces maîtresses de cinq grands musées bangladeshis. Sur fond de désintérêt du public pour le concept de « propriété culturelle », manifestations et procès se sont multipliés pour tenter d'empêcher l'exportation des objets car la procédure était perçue comme contraire aux lois du Bangladesh et au droit international. Une polarisation des positions est apparue parmi les réseaux de la gauche libérale bangladeshie. En étudiant les événements qui aboutirent à la débâcle du projet, l'auteur met en lumière ici les débats liés au national et à l'universel dans le statut des artefacts en tant qu'identité et patrimoine de la nation bangladeshie. L'affaire du Musée Guimet est un exemple de la façon dont les artefacts peuvent jouer un rôle puissant dans la contestation de la politique d'identité bengalie musulmane dans la nation postcoloniale.

Since 1960, Madagascar has been a Republic which was sorely lacking in financial and human resources. This made him dependent on global geopolitical context and alliances that resulted. Its evolution reflects the great changes that took place in the world: the neo-colonial period, the period of the Cold War, the structural adjustments in the 1980's and finally the multipolar world that began in the 1990's. A major challenge and a failure of successive models of cooperation was, the local, regional benefit and with the involvement of the population. To understand this situation, the study returns from the various international and national environments and responsibilities, on the other hand, traces the actions of cooperation in the various Malagasy local authorities between 1993 and 2005. If this results in a fairly homogeneous distribution of the activities of multi and bilateral cooperation on the national territory with fields and areas of intervention-specific cooperation, the search for this spatial equilibrium is difficult despite the efforts encouraging steps participatory involving the population, given by the political instability since the advent of the Third Republic. This situation highlights new actors, transnational cooperation, NGOs and decentralized cooperation, especially on the local level with actions addressing priority social issues and humanitarian emergencies, through short-term programs. Currently, the only cooperation that is really effective because of the political events that happen in Madagascar. Remain the unknown about the new forms of sub regional cooperation, trade with countries that are emerging today. They're still secondary actors, but their development prospects are enormous. ; Madagascar, indépendant en 1960, est une République à qui manquent cruellement des moyens financiers et humains.
