  • The University of Hull Pre-School Education In
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ENGLAND AND LIBYA by Fathia Ali Ghafir, BA (University of Libya, Benghazi), MEd (El Fatah University, Tripoli) being a Thesis presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull December 1987 ABSTRACT Ole Ph.D. THESIS by Fathia All Ghafir BA, MEd PRE-SCHOOL EDUCATION IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE: SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ENGLAND AND LIBYA There is a great demand for pre-school education in most countries of the world, but while pre-school education has long received only modest consideration within the educationally developed world, it has attracted even less consideration than other levels of schooling especially in the developing countries. There is still a danger that early childhood education may continue to be viewed as something of a luxury. Nonetheless, the past few decades have withessed much greater interest in pre-school education. Among the reasons for this growing interest are the new knowledge gained in the sphere of child development and the changes which have taken place in social conditions. Most countries provide some kind of educational opportunities for children below school age, their aims and objectives may differ to a greater or lesser extent from one country to another depending on resources and specific historical, social or religious influences on the way pre-school education has developed, and the way in which different cultures come to view the main aims and objectives of such education. This thesis is based on a combination of empirical and documentary research. Historically, pre-school education seems to have served similar functions despite difference in time and culture.

  • Tracing the Source of the Elephant and Hippopotamus Ivory from the 14Th Century B.C
    Tracing the Source of the Elephant and Hippopotamus Ivory from the 14th Century B.C. Uluburun Shipwreck: The Archaeological, Historical, and Isotopic Evidence by Kathryn A. Lafrenz A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Anthropology College of Arts and Sciences University of South Florida Major Professor: Robert H. Tykot, Ph.D. Brent R. Weisman, Ph.D. Nancy Marie White, Ph.D. Date of Approval: April 6, 2004 Keywords: strontium, late bronze age, isotopes, trade, provenance © Copyright 2004 , Kathryn A. Lafrenz Acknowledgements I would like to thank, first and foremost, Robert Tykot for all his help and guidance during the process of researching and writing this thesis. I could not have asked for a better advisor. Also, much thanks is due to Nancy Marie White and Brent Weisman for agreeing to be on my thesis committee and for their comments and suggestions. The research for this thesis, moreover, would not have been possible without the generosity of Cemal Pulak, all those at the Institute of Nautical Archaeology, and the excavators of the Uluburun shipwreck, for providing the Uluburun ivory samples and the Maraş Fili faunal samples. Ivory, and especially ivory from archaeological contexts, is such a precious material, and to offer even small amounts of it to a pilot study is quite forward-thinking. Also, funding was provided in part by Sigma Xi Grants-in-Aid of Research and the Interdisciplinary Center for Hellenic Studies at the University of South Florida. Finally I wish to express my overwhelming gratitude to those who supported me and encouraged me, and without whom I would not have been able to complete this thesis: my father, Kelly Hockersmith, Stephanie Roberts, and Joshua Samuels.

    Modern Management Science & Engineering ISSN 2052-2576 Vol. 1, No. 2, 2013 www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/mmse Original Paper Delivering Management Training and Development Programmes: A Case of Non-Oil International Organizations in Post-Crisis Libya after 2011 Ahmed Mustafa Younes1, 2* 1 Leeds Metropolitan University, UK 2 Tripoli University, Libya * Ahmed Mustafa Younes, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This article investigates how non-oil international organizations in Libya (NOIOL) deliver and implement Management Training and Development Programmes (MTDP). The recent situation of MTDP in Libya after the crisis of 2011 and factors that may influence the implementation and delivery are explored. A questionnaire approach was applied and distributed to (150) participants at managerial level working in 19 NOIOL from different sectors. The SPSS analysis software was applied, several tests were used, and significant and non-significant outcomes were presented. The results indicated that most NOIO were delivering MTDP externally and assistance was acquired from external providers. MTDP was only delivered when new technology is updated. Likewise, different MTDP methods were used by either external providers or NOIO. The minority of participants agreed and strongly agreed that MTDP was delivered effectively. On and off-the-job-training was positively used by the construction and banking sectors as well as to some degree by small and international organizations. External training was used by manufacturing, service and banking sectors, and all small, medium and large sized organizations. Negative influence was also found when a new manager was recruited in joint venture and international organizations. Case studies, interactive video, conference/seminars and job rotation were the most positively used methods by both NOIO and external providers.
