Homoeopathy During One Hundred Years Of Lmhi (1925–2025)– Part 1: Philosophical Perspectives, Josef M. Schmidt

Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

The celebration of 100 years of “Liga medicorum homoeopathica internationalis” (LMHI) in 2025 gives reason to reflect on the philosophical essence of Homoeopathy as well as its historical development within a dynamic, changing world up to now.

From a philosophical perspective, in this first part, it is pointed out that Hahnemann, the founder of Homoeopathy, needs to be understood in his entirety– not only as a keen discoverer, practitioner and thinker, but also in his spiritual shape, i.e. in his ethical, religious and humanitarian attitude and conviction.

Only thus may one grasp the significance of the schism pervading Homoeopathy’s history …

Guiding Principles For Teaching About Genocide And Other Difficult Pasts, Kerry E. Whigham

Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal

This article outlines guiding principles for teaching “difficult pasts”—episodes of large-scale, identity-based violence such as genocide, crimes against humanity, colonialism, and enslavement—in ways that promote peace, human rights, and the prevention of future atrocities. Drawing from the fields of Holocaust and Genocide Education (HGE), Global Citizenship Education (GCED), Peace Education (PE), and Human Rights Education (HRE), it argues that instruction should move beyond the memorization of historical facts toward developing students’ socio-emotional and behavioral capacities to recognize and resist processes of othering, discrimination, and violence. The brief presents three main areas of guidance: curricular content, emphasizing conceptual understanding over rote …

Book Review: The Role Of Civil Society In Transitional Justice: The Case Of Russia, Myra Dahgaypaw

Genocide Studies and Prevention: An International Journal

This book review evaluates Selbi Durdiyeva's The Role of Civil Society in Transitional Justice: The Case of Russia as a vital contribution to genocide prevention scholarship, which is particularly timely given Russia's mass atrocity crimes in Ukraine and their connection to domestic repression. The book's theoretical innovation in challenging state-centric transitional justice paradigms through rigorous analysis of Memorial NGO, Orthodox Church activities, and revisionist groups across three decades of post-Soviet Russia is critical for the transitional justice field. It is worth highlighting Durdiyeva's unique postcolonial perspective as someone from a former Soviet territory studying the metropole, and her demonstration that …

From Plague To Cholera: The Prevention And Treatments Of Cholera In Thailand, 1820–1959, Suwasadee Photpun

Journal of Letters

This article aims to explore the history of cholera in Thailand from 1820 to 1959, focusing on disease prevention and the evolving treatment methods for cholera patients across different historical periods. The article argues that knowledge about pathogens and the discovery of Vibrio cholerae as the cause of cholera did not lead to significant changes in cholera prevention and treatment methods before the mid-20th century. Methods like maintaining hygiene, implementing quarantine, and treating the disease with Western medicine and intravenous saline infusions were already known and utilized before the acceptance of germ theory and before the discovery of bacteria as …

African Surrealism In Federico García Lorca’S Poeta En Nueva York: A Study Of Racial Identity And Social Critique, Narut Chaosakun

Journal of Letters

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of Federico García Lorca’s surrealist poetry concerning the Black ethnic group, focusing specifically on the poems “Norma y paraíso de los negros” and “El rey de Harlem” from his collection Poeta en Nueva York. The study employs the perspective of Afrosurrealism, an artistic and literary movement that emerged later in the United States, integrating an understanding of the distinctive surrealist symbols and “poetic logic” characteristic of Lorca’s surrealism. This analysis elucidates the intersection between the contextual background and the underlying ideas of the two poems, derived from Lorca’s personal experiences, and the Afrosurrealism …

“A Leader Or A Teacher”: A Latent Theory Of Transformative Education In James Macgregor Burns’S Transforming-Transactional Leadership Paradigm, Evan Rw Dutmer

Interdisciplinary Journal of Leadership Studies

The purpose of this paper is to uncover a latent theory of transformative teaching and learning to be found in James MacGregor Burns’s account of transforming leadership and place it in interdisciplinary conversation with transformative education. The importance of this interdisciplinary exploration consists in this: Burns’s view that good leadership and good teaching are nearly indistinguishable has powerful implications that have been too little recognized. For, if right, teachers ought to view their work as exemplifying leadership (of a mutually beneficial, elevating sort); similarly, leaders across organizations ought to look to transformative teachers as paradigmatic models of good leadership. Expanding …

Tinig-Karakter Sa Mga Pader: Graffiti, Bandalismo, At Mga Banyulatin Sa Piling Panitikang Filipino (Character-Voices On Walls: Graffiti, Vandalism, And Latrinalia In Select Philippine Literature), Harvey James G. Castillo

Filipino Faculty Publications

Makailang beses lilitaw sa tradisyonal na midya at social media sa nagdaang kalahating dekada ang ilang pagtutol, pagbabawal, at pandidiri sa mga graffiti at nagsusulat ng mga graffiti mula sa parehong mamamayan at maykapangyarihan. Bunsod ng paggamit ng mga militanteng grupo sa graffiti bilang anyong pamprotesta sa Kalakhang Maynila, tatagurian ng nakararami ang gayong mga sulatin bilang bandalismo o paninira lamang sa pampubliko o pribadong pagmamay-ari. Taliwas ito sa balintunang paggamit din ng estado at merkado sa graffiti, o estetika ng graffiti, sa pamamahala ng espasyo o pagbebenta ng produkto. Sa ganang ito, bumabaling ang pag-aaral sa panitikan bilang lunan …
