Staying put: A comparative study of non-evacuation during environmental disasters
Effective evacuations mitigate the harm of environmental disasters. Yet, many people who are able to evacuate remain in place during environmental disasters. The increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events that require evacuation, such as flooding and wildfires, warrant closer study of why some communities do not evacuate. This study seeks to explore the social phenomenon of non-evacuation through two central questions: Why do so…

This article presents the evolution of international education discourse, comparing the periods before and after September 2015. The analysis is presented in two parts. The first part discusses the period before the adoption of SDGs in…
Nabû at the Frontiers of the Assyrian Empire: An Inscribed Bronze Necklet from Yasin Tepe, Iraqi Kurdistan
This paper presents an inscribed bronze necklet discovered at Yasin Tepe, one of the largest tell -type sites in the Sulaymaniyah Governorate in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. The necklet was found on the floor of a large building complex of the Neo-Assyrian period that probably belonged to an elite family living at the site. The two-line inscription dates to around the eighth to seventh centuries BCE, and mentions the dedication of a son by his f…
The effects of game-based soft skills training: A quasi-experiment with Ethiopian garment workers
Skills for development and vocational education and training: Current and emergent trends
In 2012, IJED published a special issue on vocational education and training and development that reflected the sense of being at a potential turning point for policy, practice and research in this area as UNESCO convened the Third International Conference on Technical and Vocational Education and Training. A decade on, we reflect on the way that the research literature has evolved in this period, suggesting a five-fold typology of literature tha…

Names of Walls, Gates, and Palatial Structures of Assyrian Royal Cities: Contents, Styles, and Ideology
This paper deals with the names given to the city walls, city gates, and palatial structures in Assyrian capital cities, Assur, Kalhu, Dur-Šarrukin, and Nineveh, in the NeoAssyrian period. These names comprised popular names, which were supposedly used daily, and ceremonial names, which were given for ceremonial-ideological purposes. The names were formulated differently in various cities and in different periods, reflecting the change of histori…

Determinants of ‘community participation’: The tradition of local initiatives and the institutionalisation of school management committees in Oromia Region, Ethiopia
A School Management Committee (SMC) is an administrative tool adopted in many developing countries to decentralise administrative and financial responsibilities at school level, while involving local people in decision-making and making education more responsive to demands. I question the assumption linking administrative decentralisation and popular participation. There is a long-lasting tradition in Africa of schools built and run through local…
The discourse on Japanese commitment to Africa: The planning process of the fourth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (Ticad IV)
TICAD was held for the fourth time in 2008, raising unprecedented public interest about Africa in Japan attracting attention not only from aid, diplomatic, trade and research communities but also among the general public. Due to geographic distance and limited historical connection, it has always been a matter of debate as to why Japan should increase its commitment to Africa. The different interest groups that have participated throughout the TI…

Educational borrowing as negotiation: Re‐examining the influence of the American black industrial education model on British colonial education in Africa
This study explores the extent to which American educational ideas made an impact on policy‐making and practice of education in British African colonies between the two World Wars. The analysis re‐examines the apparent ‘borrowing’ of American black industrial education models for application in Africa. It is argued that, while the view that Americans were successful in handling racial conflicts by means of education at home carried strong symboli…
Ldquo;Traditions^|^rdquo; and Cultural Production Character Education at the Achimota School in Colonial Ghana
The paper investigates the educational philosophy and practices of Achimota School, which was established in colonial Ghana in 1927 as the governmental model school of leadership education. Achimota's education aimed at developing the character of leader who is ‘western in the intellectual attitude, but remained African in sympathy’. To fulfil this objective, Achimota developed its curriculum according to the socio-cultural background of African …
Socio-Moralist Vocationalism and Public Aspirations: Secondary Education Policies in Colonial and Present-Day Ghana
This paper examines the socio-moralistic justification of vocational education in colonial and contemporary Ghana. In the international arena, vocational education has been justified in various ways (mostly in economic terms), but in Ghana, the primary reason for introducing vocational education has always been the development of socially appropriate character, as a means of halting social problems such as urban migration and unemployment. The co…
Stylistic Changes in Assyrian Annals of the Ninth Century B. C. and Their Historical-Ideological Background
This paper examines stylistic changes and variants in the Assyrian annalistic texts written in the ninth century B. C. and discusses their historical-ideological background.Toward the end of the second millennium B. C., Assyrian scribes started to compose royal inscriptions in various annalistic styles. In the beginning of the ninth century B. C., each campaign record included in the text was dated by a limmu, i. e. a year eponym, by which every …
The Construction of the Assyrian Empire: A Historical Study of the Inscriptions of Shalmaneser III (859-824 B.C.) Relating to His Campaigns in the West
Peter Hulin's Hand Copies of Shalmaneser III's Inscriptions
The late Peter Hulin devoted much of his scholarly life to the study of the inscriptions of Shalmaneser III, king of Assyria (859–824 BC). He copied and studied a number of texts of this monarch excavated at Nimrud. Among them, the inscriptions on the throne base (ND 11000) were published in 1963. Unfortunately, however, his death in 1993 prevented him from publishing the further fruits of his effort. After Hulin's death his file of Shalmaneser I…
The Monuments Set Up by Shalmaneser III during His Campaigns
The setting-up of royal monuments in the course of royal expeditions is a phenomenon familiar in the history of ancient Mesopotamia. Among the royal records of various Mesopotamian rulers, the inscriptions of Shalmaneser III, king of Assyria (859-824 B. C.), are especially informative on this subject. Over fifty references of this kind in his inscriptions represent twenty historical cases of the erection of one or more monuments. In this paper I …
