We have lived with COVID-19 for almost two years. It has affected economies all around the world, particularly in the developing world. Yet, developing economies, while experiencing an economic contraction in 2020 have rebound relatively quickly and the IMF forecasts them to perform better than developed economies this year (although the next year’s growth rates are predicted to be somewhat lower). But what about inequality? Has COVID-19 affected inequality in developing economies and how? Now two years after the start of the pandemic we have some, albeit incomplete and scattered, evidence about this impact. While discussing this issue, we should have in mind that inequality has different dimensions; in addition to income inequality (which is the most often used measure of inequality), there is also wealth inequality as well as inequality in access to services. This paper focuses on within-country income inequality while hypothesizing about the impact of income inequality on access to basic social services (such as healthcare and education), and its impact on income inequality in the medium and long run. The paper largely ignores the dimension of between-country inequality (Milanović 2011), recently reviewed in the context of COVID-19 by Deaton (2021), although some comparisons are almost inevitable as the first part of the paper discusses the structural characteristics of developing economies and their potential inequality impact in comparison with developed economies. Geographically, the focus is on the least developed and some developing countries, taking a closure look at Uganda, Bangladesh, Senegal, South Africa and the Philippines.

This article will offer an assessment on the effectiveness of clandestine operations conducted by the German military intelligence service, the Abwehr, against the British colony of Gibraltar during the Second World War. This assessment is based on declassified British archival records, and this paper will argue that while the Abwehr had complex networks which attempted operations against the British at Gibraltar the Germans actually achieved little meaningful success. This article will reason that the inability to achieve any significant results was due to ineffective leadership and direction from Abwehr officers who also oversaw inadequate agent recruitment and training which impaired Abwehr clandestine operations. In his conclusion to his seminal work on German military intelligence during the Second World War David Kahn stated that 'Germany lost the intelligence war'. 1 In the decades after the end of the conflict attention was paid to the activities of the Abwehr, Germany's military intelligence service. In particular, there has been much debate about the Abwehr's effectiveness, or as Kahn pointed out ineffectiveness, during the war. One school of argument, was that the Abwehr, led by Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, was an integral part of the Nazi resistance movement and actively conspired against Hitler and his Nazi regime. The origins of this interpretation can be traced to a postwar report on the Abwehr complied by Erwin von Lahousen, the head of the Abwehr sabotage section from 1939 to 1943. He reported that during the war the Abwehr had deliberately set about 'sabotaging a German victory' and this was why the Abwehr failed to provide adequate intelligence. 2 Thus, the concept of the Abwehr as part of the conspiratorial opposition to Hitler proved popular. 3 However, not all historians followed this argument and, particularly since the 1970s, the concept of an Abwehr conspiracy has been questioned. A new concept emerged, which was that the Abwehr, rather than conspiring against the Nazi regime, was actually an intelligence service beset by a series of internal difficulties, which meant, as John Wheeler-Bennett argued, the Abwehr 'failed conspicuously as a secret intelligence service'. 4 This view is now widely held by many historians who have examined the history of German intelligence in the Second World War. 5 For example, Adrian O'Sullivan's recent study of German clandestine intelligence operations in Persia revealed that the Abwehr consistently failed due to the lack of clear organisation, poor agent recruitment and insufficient resources for the agents. 6 Examination of the operational histories of the German secret intelligence services illuminates the fact that the Abwehr failed as a secret service. However, the historiography of the Abwehr and wider German intelligence services is underdeveloped and there is a particular CONTACT Jonathan Best
Recent research and policy documents call for engaging students and teachers in scientific practices such that the goal of science education shifts from students knowing scientific and epistemic ideas, to students developing and using these understandings as tools to make sense of the world. This perspective pushes students to move beyond the rote performance of scientific actions or processes and engage instead in purposeful knowledge construction work. This raises parallel questions about how to go beyond characterizing student performance of scientific process to understand their engagement in scientific practices as a goal-directed activity. To that end, this article offers a framework—the Epistemologies in Practice (EIP) framework—for characterizing how students can engage meaningfully in scientific practices. This framework emphasizes two aspects of student engagement in scientific practices: (1) the students' epistemic goals for their knowledge construction work and (2) their epistemic understandings of how to engage in that work.

Study of the Punic amphorae found in the excavations of the Impianto Elettrico at Pompei (1980-1981) at Pompei. A broad selection of more than one hundred vessels are studied. Most of them can be identified as Tunisian or Western Sicilian production, but there are also some late Punic from Ibiza, that were previously unknown at the Campania area. Also some stamps found in the forum of Pompei help to raise some questions about the origin and function of this seals.
Presentation for the conference "Harbours in Space and Time", DFG-SPP-1630, 1-2 October 2018, Erbacher Hof, Mainz (Germany): http://www.spp-haefen.de/de/konferenz/conference-programme-2018/ The imperial centres of Rome and Constantinople have been discussed frequently within the SPP-1630 as “outliers” with regard to the scale and complexity of their maritime infrastructure. This paper aims at interpreting these otherwise exceptional places in comparison with other imperial “megacities” within and beyond the Mediterranean across medieval Afro-Eurasia, which were equally dependent on an elaborate (maritime or riverine) supply network and major harbour structures. For this purpose, concepts from environmental history such as “imperial ecology” and “urban metabolism” will be adapted in order to provide a comparative analytical framework.

ABSTRACT: Between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Benedictine Order of Brazil built a management model that was able to keep the quantitative stability of their slaves until 1871, when they released all its captives. One of the aspects that had characterized this model was the stimulus provided to the slaves to possess slaves, who used them in their gardens (granted by the Order) or exchange by the liberation through the system "replacement". The power of these slaveholder slaves was transferred through inheritance, as in the case of Micaela, who left three slaves to their children. Others accumulated great power, like Nicholas, owner of nine slaves and other goods. Overall, we found 21 slaveholder slavers in the studied documentation. Undoubtedly, this is a side of slavery that has not been sufficiently researched by historiography and this study is to contribute to bring out new perspectives on the slave society. RESUMO: Entre os séculos XVIII e XIX, a Ordem Beneditina do Brasil construiu um modelo de gestão que permitiu manter a estabilidade quantitativa de seus escravos até 1871, quando libertaram todos os seus cativos. Um dos aspectos que caracterizaram este modelo foi o estímulo dado aos escravos a possuírem escravos, que os utilizavam em suas roças (concedidas pela Ordem) ou na troca pela própria alforria, através do sistema de " substituição ". O poder desses escravos-senhores era repassado por meio de herança, como no caso de Micaela, que deixou três escravos para os seus filhos. Outros acumularam grande poder, como Nicolau, possuidor de nove escravos, além de outros bens. Ao todo, encontramos 21 escravos-senhores na documentação analisada. Sem dúvida, esta é uma face da escravidão ainda pouco estudada pela historiografia e este estudo vem a contribuir para trazer à luz novos olhares sobre a sociedade escravista.
