For a long time, teaching and learning were understood as activities tied to a particu-lar sense of place. Although various concepts had emerged, such as distance learning, e-learning, blended learning, and online learning, these mainly occurred in academic debates but were widely absent in pedagogical practices in higher education. The incisive developments during the COVID-19 pandemic …
Educational resource management is a fascinating area of study because there is such a wide variety of practice, not only between developed and developing countries but also between countries that have similar living standards. The importance a country attaches to education is reflected in the proportion of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) it spends on primary and secondary education. In 2017 t…
Recent decades have seen great advances in science and technology that enable us – or, rather, those who have the requisite financial and technological resources – to explore and derive ever more benefits from the marine realm. In some ways, technological developments risk making legal frameworks obso-lete, addressing problems that are no longer pertinent or facilitating …

We regard Economic Theory as a collection of models, each viewed as a storyor a fable rather than as a testable scientific model to be verified or refuted(seeRubinstein(2012)). Models in Economic Theory are “useful” in the samesense that fables are.Perhaps, there is no boy who literally “cried wolf”,but we nevertheless tell the story to teach our children about…

"Paganism" is an evocative word that even today conjures up deep-seated emotions and prejudices. Until recently, it was primarily a derogatory term used by Christians to describe the non-Christian cultures vanquished by their churches. For some it evokes images of sacrifice and barbaric behavior, while for others it symbolizes a peace-loving, nature-worshipping spiritual relationship with the e…

“El Perú soy yo aunque a algunos no les guste” (“I am Peru even if some do not like it”1), claimed Mario Vargas Llosa after he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2011.

In October 1986, Kotu Island in the Lulunga district of the Tongan group of Haâ€apai appeared as a low silhouette on the Western horizon as the small boat we were in weaved its way through a channel in the fringing reef into the large lagoon surrounding the island for the first time. The tide was low, and the boat scraped the bottom and ground to a halt long before r…
A second reason to study work is that it is inherently social: it necessarily involves relations between people that are arguably more fundamental than their ideological relationships. Since work must go on, while ideology may be ignored or even f louted, it is a good place to start trying to understand society. Applebaum argued that the study of work is even more important for studying societi…

Criminal justice systems are barometers of social development. This claim, putforward by German criminal law scholars,1alludes to the fact that inherent in thecriminal justice process are conflicting interests between the need to ensure comprehensive fact-finding on the one hand, and the wish to safeguard individual rights,especially those of defendants, on the other hand. In all criminal justi…
The subject of scientific integrity has generated a lot of attention in recent decades, both in the media—which is all too happy to report on the latest fraud or plagiarism scandal—and in the boardrooms of the scientific insti-tutions that have to respond to it. In the meantime, scientific research has continued, but researchers have become more attuned to the fact that scien-tific integrit…
For some time, narratives and projects aimed at improving and diversifying economic activities in Timor-Leste have been the leitmotivs of a number of development programs.

In 1925 a rare type of building made its appearance in the literary world: a house entirely constructed of glass, prefabricated yet individualized, light but stable, flat-roofed but with walls which changed colour according to the surrounding land-scape.

Translators bear a heavy responsibility. When Jerome translated the Greek logos into the Latin verbum in the Vulgate Bible, he set Western theology and philosophy on an errant path for well over a millennium. But we should not be too harsh on old Jerome; even the brilliant Erasmus flailed in the face of the polysemic Greek word when he attempted a L…
Historically, SGBs have been given significant autonomy when organizing sporting competitions as well as regarding their internal structure and regulations.

I identify as an anthropologist, with a slight undercoating of archaeology, which was triggered f ifty years ago by seeing pots with unusual designs in a Bangkok market. In a grade seven project on choosing a career, I wrote that I wanted to be an archaeologist; much later I learned that anthropology was the best route to that career. I received my BA in anthropology from the University of Toro…

But for some reason, …
Every day the factory whistle bellowed forth its shrill, roaring, trembling noises into the smokebegrimed and greasy atmosphere of the workingmen’s suburb; and obedient to the summons of the power of steam, people poured out of little gray houses into the street. With somber faces they hastened forward like frightened roaches, their muscles stiff from insufficient sleep. In the chill morning …
