As Nordic relations with SADCC and its member countries were strength- ened cooperation in the research field was put on the agenda. Hence SADRA and SIAS undertook to initiate a conference. The conference theme was "Regional Cooperation in Southern Africa with a Post-Apartheid Perspective". These proceedings contain the results of this joint effort. The conference was convened in Harare, Zimbabwe, 21-23 September 1988, bringing together scholars from the Southern Africa region and the Nordic countries, interested in Southern African issues. From the SIAS' point of view the conference formed part of the Southern Africa Programme, one of three ongoing thematic programmes at the Institute. One main aim of this programme is to strengthen Nordic research on Southern Africa, and this obviously cannot be done without a wider and deeper cooperation between researchers in the Nordic coun- tries and their colleagues in Southern Africa. SADRA was founded with one of its objectives being to make an in- tellectual contribution to the efforts of the Southern African countries to distance themselves from the apartheid regime of South Africa, and to bring about a closer cooperation among themselves. It was felt therefore that the research community of the two regions, working on Southern African questions, should get together to look at the possibilities of coope- ration and to complement each other's efforts. Thus the conference was informed of ongoing and planned research in both regions in the field of regional cooperation; discussed papers relating to various aspects of regional cooperation in Southern Africa; and identified research projects where scholars from the two regions can cooperate. The conference was financed by SIDA, the Swedish International Deve- lopment Authority, and part of the practical arrangements were carried out by the Regional Office of SAREC, the Swedish Agency for Research Cooperation with Developing Countries, and ZIDS, the Zimbabwe Institute of Development Studies. We acknowledge this support with gratitude. We would also like to thank Karin Andrze and Susanne Ljung, SIAS, for their careful and unflagging efforts to make the manuscripts correct and coherent. Uppsala, February 1989 Bertil Ode'n Haroub Othman Scandinavian Institute Southern African of African Studies (SIAS) Development and Research Association (SADRA) Introduction Bertil Odin and Haroub Othman In order to provide a more substantive basis for the discussions on future research cooperation a number of papers were commissioned for the conference in Harare. They are included in these proceedings and they cover a wide area of topics, exemplifying the diversified research activities that are going on in the two regions. In the first paper Tor Sellstrom presents some factors behind the present intense relations between Southern Africa and the Nordic countries, re- vealing also a number of Nordic-South Africa relations as late back as the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Elling Njdl Tjonneland discusses in his paper South African regional policies. While he analyses the vast possibilities for social and economic development of the entire region after the liberation of South Africa he also points out that there will remain difficulties to escape from the dominance and dependency relations inherited from the past, and suggests areas of importance on a common research agenda. Gabriele Winai Strom in her paper on labour and migrant labour in the region discusses some of the aspects of the present mining labour structure in a post-apartheid perspective, including the different factors that will possibly increase and decrease the demand for migrant labour in the South African mines after apartheid. Both C.K. Brown and Ansu Datta discuss the need for strengthened and improved regional cooperation in their respective papers. Brown argues that the synchronization of SADCCs developmental objectives calls for the coordination of research activities at the regional level and that this re- quires effective regional information service

  • A Year in Europe
    ayear IN Europe 'By WALTER W. MOORE, D. D., LL. D. President of Union Theological Seminary in Virginia THIRD EDITION RICHMOND, VIRGINIA QIIlP Pr?Bbgtmmt Qlommitt^f of ^ubltratton 1905 3 q^^ I NOV Copyrighted BY WALTER W. MOORE, 1904. Printed by Whittet & Shepperson, Richmond, Va. A YEAR IN EUROPE. TO /ID^ Xlraveling Companions This Book is Dedicated as a memento OF HAPPY DAYS IN THE OlD WoRI.D. FOREWORD. The only excuse I have to offer for the publication of these desultory and chatty letters in this more per- manent form is that a number of my friends have requested it. Many of the letters have already ap- peared in the columns of The Children's Friend, for which they were originally written, at the instance of the Presbyterian Committee of Publication ; but I have included in the volume several letters which were written for other periodicals, and a considerable num- ber which have not been published anywhere till now. Some of them were written hastily, and, as it were, on the wing, others with more deliberation and care. Some were intended for young readers, others for older people. This will account for the differences of style and subject matter which will strike every one, and which will be particularly noticeable when the letters are read consecutively. In some cases I have drawn the materials, in part, from other sources besides my own observations, the main object at times being not originality, but accuracy and fullness of information. In such cases I have endeavored to make full acknowledgment of my in- debtedness to other writers.

The research investigated questions of early Holocene wood artifact technologies and other plant use before the large-scale arrival of western redcedar (Thuja plicata), a cultural keystone species for Haida in more recent times. The project relied on small- scale excavations and sampling from two main areas of the site: a hearth complex and an activity area at the edge of a paleopond. The archaeobotanical assemblage from these two areas yielded 23 plant taxa representing 14 families in the form of wood, charcoal, seeds, and additional plant macrofossils.

FOREWORD This report presents a general view of Community action aiming to promote the edu- cation of the children of legally established immigrants and Gypsy children. It suggests an analysis of the new challenges resulting from recent changes in migration patterns, and it explains why Chapter n of the Commission s proposal for a decision of the Council and the European Parliament establishing an action programme in the education field (SOCRATES) contains a specific action in favour of these groups. The report complements the series of documents which the Commission has published since 1991: The Memoranda on Higher Education, on Vocational Training, and on Open and Distance Learning, the Working Paper on Guidelines for Community Action in the Field of Education and Training, and finally the Green Gaper on the European Dimension of Education. The report also forms part of the Commission s response to the conclusions of the European Council' s meeting in Edinburgh and to the European Parliament's resolution of 21 January, 1993. Its aim is to inform on the analyses which underpin the Commis- sion s proposals for action, and to highlight the need for Community cooperation aiming to improve the quality of education provision for migrants' children. ***** b - TABLE OF CONTENTS SUMMARY: THE LONG TERM CHALLENGES THE PRESENT CONTEXT: A DECISIVE SITUATION Dynamics of migration and

The Museum is the former Dutch Batavia Town Hall. In 1619 the Dutch East-India Company (VOC), under the command of Jan Pietersz. Coen, destroyed the coastal town of Jayakarta in the Sultanate of Banten in Java. The Dutch assault was unexpected and rather violent, but not very bloody. Coen did so with good reasons from his point of view. The Dutch East-India Company, VOC, wanted to build a commercial and administrative centre in the Far East and in Java specially. The reason was that troubles with Banten – troubles with Portuguese and English as well - never came to an end. Governor-General Jan Pietersz. Coen was a thoroughgoing person. He built a new town and called it Batavia, now Jakarta. Inhabitants were called in Dutch “Batavianen”, “Batavians” in English and in Indonesian Orang Betawi. A Betawi atmosphere is certainly present in Museum Seraja Jakarta. This Museum along the former Dutch “Stadhuisplein” or “Town Hall Square” is worth a visit. The square is called now Taman Fatahillah. The Museum is a bell-towered building. It is an architectural reminder of the Dutch East-Indies, completed in the 18 th century.

This paper reviews the scholarly literature concerned, directly or indirectly, with the implementation of educational policies in Sub-Saharan Africa. The first part considers the reasons both for the past neglect of implementation issues and for the current interest in the subject. It also introduces some conceptual issues relevant o the analysis of implementation questions, drawing heavily on the literature that focuses on policy processes in Western countries. The second part offers general observations concerning the literature on the implementation of educational policiet in Africa, and characterizes this literature with respect to the policies considered, the countries studied, and other variables. The third part outlines the major conceptual frameworks that have been developed for the analysis of implementation issues. It then considers the matter of causation as this is addressed, explicitly or implicitly, in the literature on educational policy implementation in Africa.

Concentrations in the 1990s were on average 1.5 times higher than during the period from 1976 to 1978, but a trend in chl a over the entire period (1976 to 1999) was not found. In agreement with findings from the late 1970s, the mean chl a concentrations over the post 1990 period correlated significantly with the station elevation related exposure time. Over the entire 1976 to 1999 study period, the estuary mean annual chl a concen- trations correlated strongly and significantly with the mean annual air temperature. Although the range of the variation in the mean annual air temperature of the studied years was only 7.5 to 10.2°C, it surprisingly corresponded with a ca. 2.5-fold variation in the mean annual microphyto- benthos chl a.
