La intervención internacional en la resolución sostenible de los conflictos armados internos. Una revisión crítica
2022
La investigación versa sobre los mecanismos de paz derivados de la teoría liberal occidental de la paz, que la comunidad internacional aplica a los conflictos armados internos en África. Su balance mitigado pone en tela de juicio su eficacia real y su capacidad para poner fin a los conflictos de manera sostenible y construir la paz. Analizando tanto los casos de éxito como de fracaso, se intenta extraer las buenas o malas prácticas que producen dichos resultados, a partir del análisis crítico de las teorías objetivas que las sustentan, de forma que se infieran las buenas prácticas generalizables y los frecuentes errores a evitar, para una mayor eficacia. Emerge de los análisis que la interv…
Managing for results in Primary Education in Madagascar
2010
The impact of specific actions designed to streamline and tighten the workflow processes of key actors in Madagascar's primary education sector are evaluated. To inform the strategy for scaling up, a randomized experiment was carried out over two school years. The results show that interventions at the school level, reinforced by interventions at the subdistrict and district levels, succeeded in changing the behavior of the actors toward better management of key pedagogical functions. In terms of education outcomes, the interventions improved school attendance, reduced grade repetition, and raised test scores (particularly in Malagasy and mathematics), although the gains in learning at the …
Transmission processes of indigenous Pedi music
2017
There has been unsatisfactory integration of traditional music into education, despite the fact that the Ministry of Education advocates its use, stating that education should ‘preserve South Africa’s cultural practice; develop an appreciation for the practice of one’s culture; and develop a sense of respect for other people’s culture’. South Africa is in need of a music education philosophy that is culturally embedded, cognisant of the societal context in which it is to function, and informed by South African ideas and philosophy of life. This study entails sourcing the Ethnomusicological and Anthropological focus in musicology for purposes of providing a better understanding on music and …
Socio-emotional Problems Experienced by Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students in Ethiopia
2015
This study compares the socio-emotional problems experienced by deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) students with those of hearing students in Ethiopia. The research involved a sample of 103 grade 4 students attending a special school for the deaf, a special class for the deaf and a regular school. Socio-emotional problems were measured using Goodman's self-report measure, the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire for children and adolescents. Participants were selected from seven towns in Ethiopia. The results show that, compared to the hearing sample, the DHH students experienced more severe socio-emotional problems across all dimensions, regardless of whether they were in special classes o…
WATER MASSES EXCHANGE THROUGH THE STRAIT OF SICILY DURING THE LAST DEGLACIAL PERIOD AND THE HOLOCENE
2022
The main goal of this thesis is to explore the inter-basin connection between the eastern and the western Mediterranean (E- and W-Med, respectively) during the last deglacial and Holocene periods (last 15 kyr). The thesis is based on the study of a sediment core recovered at the west flank of Sicily channel (W-Sicily), strategically located under the current path of the surface Atlantic waters and directly below the present-day hydrographic boundary layer between the Eastern Mediterranean Sourced Water (EMSW) and the Western Mediterranean Deep Water (WMDW). This key location allow to explore past changes in both surface and deep water exchange between the E and the W-Med. In this thesis, a …
The significance of student voice: female students’ interpretations of failure in Tanzanian secondary education
2014
Abstract: In Tanzania, the national examinations are used as the primary tools for selection and transition from lower to upper secondary education. Female students are more likely to fail in the national exams and to drop out from education. This article examines the perspectives of female students concerning their advancement in secondary education. Two sets of qualitative data, responses to a research questionnaire from 100 female lower secondary school students and follow-up interviews with seven mature students enrolled in a non-formal school who had failed in the national examinations, were analysed to identify critical issues influencing the educational advancement of female students…

Pluralismo giuridico in Somalia : Trascorsi storici e sviluppi recenti
2014
La questione del pluralismo giuridico vede in Africa una delle sue manifestazioni più eclatanti. Malgrado l’annoso dibattito sul valore non meramente antropologico del pluralismo giuridico in Africa, la ricerca di soluzioni che possano portare ad un approccio più “operativo” del pluralismo stesso nei Paesi africani rimane uno dei temi più affascinanti da risolvere per gli studiosi del diritto africano. Al di là di mere dichiarazioni di principio, anche a livello costituzionale, il problema di come rendere il pluralismo giuridico formalmente operante rimane ancora irrisolta. Dal fenomeno pluralista non è esclusa, ovviamente, la Somalia. Qui il pluralismo giuridico assume aspetti del tutto pe…
