Abstract This article discusses archaeobotanical evidence from two Sheikh el-Obeiyid villages and the Bir el-Obeiyid playa, which are located along the course of the Wadi el-Obeiyid and on the top and escarpment of the Northern Plateau, at the northern edge of the Farafra Oasis, Egypt. The villages and playa are both part of a settlement system which developed from the top of the plateau, through its various erosion surfaces, down to the bottom of the wadi. The villages in particular can be considered as seasonal base camps, populated by semi-sedentary groups who engaged in intensive exploitation of the resources available in the surrounding environment during the early and mid-Holocene. These sites can be compared to the better-known Hidden Valley village site located only 20 km to the east, the remains from which were analysed during the early 2000s by Ahmed G. Fahmy. At all the sites investigated to date in Farafra there is clear evidence for gathering and use of sorghum and other species of small-seeded wild grasses, fitting the emerging patterns of intense wild grass exploitation in attractive ecological zones for the eastern Sahara during the 9th–6th millennia BP.

AbstractThis article considers three lithic artefacts (two sidescrapers and a gouge or plane) discovered at Augila Oasis, located in Cyrenaica along the dried riverbed of Wadi Nashoof and once directly in the line of the Western Desert trade and pilgrimage route. The three Augila tools belong to the so-called bifacial tradition, which spread in the eastern Sahara during the mid-Holocene, from c. 6000 to 4800 BC, and find parallels among the mid-Holocene production of the northern edge of the Farafra Oasis and other contexts of the Egyptian Western Desert. The presence of the bifacial tradition in the Lower Nile Valley and in the Libyan littoral could have unfolded through exchange networks during periods of favourable climatic condition in the mid-Holocene.

Existing fisheries models employ the "unit stock" concept that makes no explicit allowance for spatial distribution of biomass and effort over a fishing ground. The utility of the unit stock concept rests largely upon the "dynamic pool" assumption. However, this is both invalid for sedentary species, and difficult to apply when information on spatial distribution by statistical subunits is available, as for the Georges Bank (lat. 42°N, long. 67°W) scallop population. By reference to the Georges Bank scallop fishery, more realistic general assumptions for a spatial model of shellfish populations are:a) Recruitment occurs in patches of random size and location with the constraint that local biomass does not exceed the virgin biomass of each unit area.b) The fraction of effort expended within each statistical area of a fishing ground is either determined by available local biomass alone (proportional effort allocation) or in combination with "traditional fishing practice."Therefore, a spatial model (YRAREA) simulating nonrandom recruitment and harvesting of sedentary organisms is postulated and applied to Georges Bank scallop stocks. Some of the general predictions of this model differ significantly from those employing the unit stock concept, as follows:1) Under proportional effort allocation, overall yield declines more sharply with increasing effort subsequent to maximum sustained yield (MSY) than under dynamic pool assumptions. 2) Peak mortality and the apparent point of full recruitment on the catch curve occur progressively earlier in life (even at partially recruited ages) with increased effort or degree of clumping of the population, and subsequently declines with age, except where "fully recruited" ages coincide spatially with the "target" age-group making up the largest biomass component. This may be of general relevance to fisheries under intensive exploitation with sophisticated methods of navigation and fish finding; peak mortality may occur earlier in life than predicted from the gear selection ogive, if year-classes are independently distributed and there is no size limit regulation. 3) Variance in biomass/unit area is predicted to fall with age.For the Georges Bank scallop population, the model described herein predicts that a substantial increase in yield would result from diversion of effort from the Northern Edge to less heavily fished areas of the bank.

The influence of globalization on international competitiveness is considered in the article. Two strategies of economic growth are pointed out: the low road, that is producing more at lower cost and lower wages, with increasingly intensive exploitation of labor and environment, and the high road, that is upgrading capabilities in order to produce better basing on knowledge. Restrictions for developing countries trying to reach global competitiveness are formulated. Special attention is paid to the concept of upgrading and opportunities of joining transnational value chains. The importance of learning and forming social and political institutions for successful upgrading of the economy is stressed.

Anal Yses

In the wake of the 2008 global financial and economic crisis, new forms of work organization emerged in Europe. Following this trend, Portugal has undergone a reconfiguration of its artistic organizations. In the performing arts, some organiza-tions seem to have crystalized and others are reinventing their artistic mission. They follow a plurality of organizational patterns and resilient profiles framed by cyclical, structural and occupational changes. Artistic organizations have had to adopt new models of work and seek new opportunities to try out alternatives in order to deal, namely, with the constraints of the labour market. The article anal-yses some of the restructuring processes taking place in three Portuguese artistic organizations, focusing on their contexts, individual trajectories and collective missions for adapting to contemporary challenges of work in the arts. We conclude that organizations are a key domain for understanding the changes taking place.

Research conducted to develop drama text teaching materials based on the experience of the author of the drama script aims to make it easier for students to understand drama text material. In addition, based on the author's experience students are expected to emulate the author's creative process in writing a paper. The research method used in this research is the research and development method. Based on the results of the interview it can be concluded that the ability to write drama is determined based on mastery of the elements of drama and the ability to develop stories based on the author's experience. The process of writing drama is done in several steps: (1) searching for ideas based on personal experience, other people, or the surrounding environment; (2) processing ideas to find plots (characters), characters or characters that vary with their inner conflicts, settings and dialogues, interesting conflicts, and messages to be conveyed; (3) starts the process of writing drama with stages and elements of drama; (4) revision of drama products. Teaching material developed is presented from basic competencies of knowledge and basic competencies of learning skills. Based on experiments on developed teaching materials it is known that the average value of the ability to write plays gets a score exceeding the minimum criteria, so that the teaching materials used are effective. Based on observations it is known that teaching materials can help students in learning and student activities become more independent, and active.
