<p>This book provides key insights into how educational leaders can successfully navigate the turbulence of political debate surrounding leading student assessment and professionalised practice. Given the highly politicised nature of assessment, it addresses leaders and aspiring leaders who are open to being challenged, willing to explore controversy, and capable of engaging in informed critical discourse.</p> <p>The book presents the macro concepts that these audiences must have to guide optimal assessment policy and practice. Collectively, the chapters highlight important assessment purposes and models, including intended and unintended effects of assessment in a globalised context.</p> <p>The book provides opportunities to explore cultural similarities and particularities. It invites readers to challenge taken-for-granted assumptions about ourselves and colleagues in other settings. The chapters highlight the cultural clashes that may occur when cross-cultural borrowing of assessment strategies, policies, and tools takes place. However, authors also encourage sophisticated critical analyses of potential lessons that may be drawn from other contexts and systems.</p> <p>Readers will encounter challenges from authors to deconstruct their assessment values, beliefs, and preconceptions. Indeed, one purpose of the book is to destabilise certainties about assessment that prevail and to embrace the assessment possibilities that can emerge from cognitive dissonance.</p>

Heart of Darkness is a novella written by Polish-born writer Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski). Before its 1902 publication, it appeared as a three-part series (1899) in Blackwood's Magazine. It is widely regarded as a significant work of English literature and part of the Western canon. This highly symbolic story is actually a story within a story, or frame narrative. It follows Marlow as he recounts, from dusk through to late night, his adventure into the Congo to a group of men aboard a ship anchored in the Thames Estuary. The story details an incident when Marlow, an Englishman, took a foreign assignment as a ferry-boat captain, employed by a Belgian trading company. Although the river is never specifically named, readers may assume it is the Congo River, in the Congo Free State, a private colony of King Leopold II. Marlow is employed to transport ivory downriver; however, his more pressing assignment is to return Kurtz, another ivory trader, to civilization in a cover up. Kurtz has a reputation throughout the region.

<p>This book gathers, and makes available in English, with new introductions, previously out of print or otherwise difficult to access articles by Fr Roberto Busa S.J. (1913 - 2011). Also included is a comprehensive bibliography of Busa, an oral history interview with Busa's translator, and a substantial new chapter that evaluates Busa's contributions and intellectual legacies. The result is a groundbreaking book that is of interest to digital humanists and computational linguists as well as historians of science, technology and the humanities. </p> As the application of computing to cultural heritage becomes ever more ubiquitous, new possibilities for transmitting, shaping, understanding, questioning and even imagining the human record are opening up. Busa is considered by many to be among the pioneers in this field, and his research on projects like the <i>Index Thomisticus</i> is one of the earliest known examples of a humanities project that incorporated automation; it continues to be widely cited and used today. Busa published more than 350 academic articles and shorter pieces in numerous languages, but despite the unquestionable importance of his early work for understanding the history and development of fields like humanities computing and computational linguistics, a large part of his canon and thinking remained inaccessible or difficult to access until this book.

<p>The book critically reflects on some of the most important novelties and experimentations in the context of the European Union’s renewed urban and regional policy in the last programming period, 2014-2020. In particular, it examines four main innovations characterizing this period, which emerged as a result of the deep rethinking and reorganization of Cohesion Policy in the spirit of the place-based approach to local development, i.e. the development of the smart specialization strategy, the establishment of macro-regions, the focus on the urban dimension as a horizontal priority, and the role of social innovation in urban policy. Unlike other similar books, it analyzes the urban dimension of the reformed EU cohesion policy, especially focusing on its interplay with the regional dimension, and which has not been fully addressed to date.</p> <p>The book is intended for social scientists engaged in research on European issues, especially from regional and urban perspectives, policy-makers, particularly at the local level, and graduate students interested in regional and urban European matters.</p>

<p></p> <p><span>Découvrez le testament littéraire des bourreaux Sanson, les exécuteurs de Louis XVI, de Robespierre et d'autres personnalités de l'histoire de France. Originaire de Normandie, la famille Sanson a la particularité de compter parmi ses membres sept générations d'exécuteurs au service de la France, de 1688 à 1847. Testament littéraire des bourreaux Sanson, ce texte dépeint la mise à mort du point de vue des exécuteurs. Les exécutions qui s'y succèdent, de Charlotte Corday à Louis XVI, en passant par Cartouche, Damiens, Danton, Robespierre ou encore Lacenaire, sont ici perçues dans un contexte intime et empreint de compassion. Publié en 1862 par Henri-Clément Sanson, dernier représentant de la lignée, cet ouvrage, alors sulfureux, fut un temps célèbre avant de sombrer dans l'oubli. Henri-Clément Sanson, le dernier bourreau de France, nous offre un témoignage poignant sur la peine de mort, un supplice qu'il considérait comme étant un dernier vestige des sacrifices humains de la barbarie. EXTRAIT Je reconnus de suite ce large pli et ce large sceau dont l'aspect m'avait toujours fait frissonner d'épouvante et de douleur. Je pris en tremblant le message, et, m'attendant à y trouver un de ces ordres funèbres auxquels ma terrible consigne me faisait un devoir d'obéir, je montai péniblement les marches du perron de mon htel. Arrivé dans mon cabinet, je rompis avec désespoir ce pli fatal qui devait renfermer quelque mission de mort à remplir. J'ouvris la lettre : C'ÉTAIT MA RÉVOCATION ! Un sentiment étrange et indéfinissable s'empara de moi. Je relevai les yeux sur les portraits de mes ancêtres. Je parcourus toutes ces figures sombres, méditatives, sur lesquelles se lisait cette même pensée qui avait jusque-là flétri mon existence. Je regardai mon grand-père, en costume de chasse, mélancoliquement appuyé sur le canon de son fusil, et flattant de la main son chien, le seul ami peut-être qu'il lui eût été donné d'avoir. Je regardai mon père, grave, tenant son chapeau à la main et couvert du lugubre vêtement de deuil qu'il n'avait jamais quitté. Il me semblait faire part à tous ces témoins muets du terme de la fatalité qui avait pesé sur leur race et les associer à ce que j'allais faire. Alors, tirant le cordon d'une sonnette, je me fis apporter une cuvette et de l'eau, et là, seul, devant Dieu qui voit au fond des cœurs et dans les replis les plus cachés de la conscience, je lavai solennellement ces mains que le sang de mes semblables ne devait plus souiller.</span></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>
