Abstract: This study aimed to observe interactions between fathers and their disabled children during playing situations, based on the Theory of Innate Intersubjectivity. Two disabled children, aged 1 and 1-and-a-half-year-old and their fathers were selected and filmed in their homes, during playtime, for a 30-minute period. Based in the assertion that the child has the ability to affective and adequately respond to, and synchronically interact with others, observed behaviors were divided into two main categories: negotiatory and emotional. Playing was analyzed according to the child‟s ability to maintain them. Results showed that interactions between father and child occurred, although they were frequently broken in synchrony (even with the presence of irritation in one of the children), showing their ability of creating and sustaining a game, despite their limitations, with their fathers‟ help.

Key Words: Father-Child Relations, Disability, Intersubjectivity, Play.

Abstract: The library continues to be the hub of academic activities in all institutions despite the increase in information and communication technology and advances in the acquisition and dissemination of information and the fear of the library going extinct. The use of creative learning spaces helps to improve the look and feel of libraries which leads to more patronage and also helps to improve academic performance.

Abstract: How much basic infrastructure investment Physical, water and sanitation systems, new electricity lines, roads, storm water drainage, and other services provided at districts level society affords? What levels and types of subsidies for recurrent operating and maintenance costs assure that low-income people can meet their basic infrastructural service needs? These questions continue to bedevil policy makers. One reason is their failure to integrate into investment decision-making some basic aspects of socio-economic cost benefit analysis, covering a variety of direct, indirect, developmental, ecological and geographical factors. The direct economic benefits of infrastructure for low income people have long been recognized. Indirect benefits include more time and resources for women, dramatic environmental.........

Abstract: Since 1998 women in Indonesia, within the context of their socio-cultural status, have believed that they are not politically empowered, they earn less income, they are victimized in domestic violence cases, and as far as they are concerned, they are less fortunate and not as lucky as the men are. The theoretical interpretive view of this paper proposes that the dissimilarities in conditions between men and women, from the perspective of gender, are shaped within the biological, cultural, and historical contexts, in which gender related attribute occurred on its own, whereas status is something that must be achieved. This paper shows that women in Indonesia have been for quite..........
