For decades, feminism has been a concept associated with women‟s freedom from patriarchy, and this movement started in 1848 in Europe. Several political and social movements have fought on the side of women for gender equality over decades. In the 1960s, radical feminism grew because of the women‟s liberation movement, which continued well into the 1970s and 1980s. Over the years, feminism has given a voice to women wanting to unshackle themselves from patriarchy. This conceptual article examines indigenous feminism, which is an alternative to Eurocentric feminism. Amongst others, the indigenous feminists perceive their mandate as one of decolonizing feminism, thus looking beyond patriarchy as the sole problem women face in society. Indigenous feminists also recognize race, class and colonial history as among the major obstacles to women‟s advancement. Using theory synthesis, the article found that indigenous feminism embraced by womanism reflects how African women could contest for social justice and equality while utilizing certain values and principles. The conclusions demonstrate that women from the Global South will be empowered by African philosophies as they become strong leaders in society. Furthermore, the conclusions point out that empowered African women would be able to confront social injustices that stunt their growth as leaders in society.

Mythology reflects ancient people’s primitive understanding of the origin of the world, natural phenomena and social life, so the mythological narration is usually full of imagination and symbolic meanings. In both Chinese and Greek Mythology, there is a similar legend of nine-headed snakes, which reflects those ancient people’s exploration of unaccountable great floods. These nine-headed monsters are called Xiangliu and Hydra respectively. According to Guideways Through Mountains and Seas , a classic collection of Chinese ancient stories, Xiangliu is the courtier of Gonggong, a legendary god of Water. Hydra in Greek mythology is a gigantic snake-like monster with nine heads, living near Lake Lerna. Both the two malicious beasts have nine heads, and are trouble-makers through taking advantage of floods, always producing poisonous smell and breath. Xiangliu has nine human faces, and his heads do not have the ability to regenerate, while Hydra has dragon-like heads with teeth and claws, and he has the ability to regenerate. Both stories are symbolic with hero-worshiping and flood-controlling themes, reflecting primitive common values in both cultures. Through comparing Xiangliu and Hydra, discussing their prototypes and their evolutionary forms in later works, we may have a better understanding of Chinese and western mythical stories, and then promote mutual respect to divergences.

Determining the attitudes of children who have child’s rights toward their rights is crucial to revealing their viewpoint on their own rights. The purpose of this study was to develop a valid and reliable attitude scale to determine the attitudes of children toward child’s rights. Study group of the study comprised a total of 610 students receiving education in grade three, grade four and grade five in Kırıkkale province. We performed the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) on the data. The EFA determined that the scale comprised 19 items and four factors. These dimensions were named “Living”, “Development”, “Protection” and “Participation”. The CFA analysis confirmed the four-factor structure. The Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient was α .80 for the total scale, α .82 for sub-factor one, α .82 for sub-factor two, α .81 for sub-factor three and α .89 for sub-factor four. Also, we calculated item analysis statistics and total item correlations based on the difference of sub-super group averages within the scope of reliability analyses. There was a significant difference between the group with a higher attitude score and the group with a lower attitude score in the scale on the basis of item score and score average. The findings revealed international convention offers the same rights to all children across the world and that the scale can measure the attitudes of children toward their rights in a valid and reliable way.

Many cultures of antiquity have made naked-eye observations of large sunspot displays. The Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and Greeks, have all made such observations. These observations are still important because they give astronomers data about solar activity prior to telescopic observations beginning in 1610. A detailed examination of diverse objects from the Mayan Early Classic Period, described in reports I, III, IV, V, and VI of this series, suggests that the Maya were also monitoring naked-eye solar activity. This extra data set is of great importance because there are some discrepancies between Asian records (usually considered reliable) and what would be expected from 14 C measurements and other physical data. One of these discrepancies will be resolved in this report using Mayan data. Mayan Sun God iconography shows the appearance of a spotted Sun God during times of high solar activity and a spotless Sun God during periods of the quiet Sun. Up to this report, four criteria were used to select artifacts for the series of papers in this study: 1) the artistic motif must be present (Sun God with or without spots), 2) the artifact upon which the image occurs must be datable, 3) solar activity levels must be verifiable by direct observation from some other ancient culture, 4) observations must be substantiated by physical data (e.g. 14 C and 18 O data, tree ring analysis, nilometer data, etc.). And, of course, the artifacts chosen should span the Early Classic Period. It is natural to ask if other spotted deities track physical solar activity as well. In this report, the appearance of spots on the Venus God is examined. Venus is a close companion of the Sun, both physically and by familial relationship within the Mayan pantheon. The datable Jade Funerary Mask of Río Azul is one such Venus God image. Other Venus God images are also examined. The appearance (ca. 400 AD), disappearance (668 AD), and reappearance (ca, 700 AD) of facial spots on solar deities as a function of time seems to track solar activity and is in agreement with physical data.

The work is about Indo-Europeans in general, which means people possessing R1a haplogroup (and following mutations) of Y-DNA, as per inheriting from father to son. Those possessing R1b, who dominated western Europe, have little in common with India and Iran. Our interest is in the group of Indo-Europeans who evolved into Slavs and, in particular, modern Poles. The article shows that the area of today's Poland was probably the cradle of people and language that gave origin to other Indo-European peoples (Aryans, Scythians, Persians, Slavic) and their languages. Today's Poles are the nation with the highest frequency of R1a haplogroup. Genetic, linguistic and anthropological-cultural studies indicate that the origin of Poles is ancient, directly from the ancestors of the Lechites or Lekhs described in the chronicles. There are also grounds for claiming that the Lekhs' connections with people from Aryans are both genetic (biological) and cultural. The author provides daring hypotheses and proceeds to check them through logical deduction (inductive-deductive method), while trying the synthetic approach to the problem and using a multidisciplinary approach. Hypotheses checks and logical justifications are backed by research results in genetics, linguistics, cultural anthropology, ancient history and hoplology – which deal with weaponry and warrior cultures.
