Content Analysis of English for Palestine Textbooks of the Grades (1-10) in Terms of Political Values

The present study aimed at content analysis of political values existing in English for Palestine textbooks of the grades (1-10). The sample of the study consisted of the English textbooks in grades 1, 3, 7 and 10, and each falls into two parts: A and B. To achieve the aim of the study, the researchers adopted the analytical descriptive approach. The researchers used a checklist adapted from Al-Jallad (2010). The analytical unit was a word, or a sentence in all encompassed reading, writing, listening and speaking exercises of the sample. The researchers calculated frequencies and percentages of the political values to answer the question of the study and to present the results. Findings revealed a focus on the values: community relations, belonging to homeland, and equality. On the other hand, there was negligence in the inclusion of consultation, national events, and public representation values

Excavation archive of the Tell Deir Alla project, Jordan - Paper Archive

The archive of the Tell Deir Alla project originates from the archaeological excavations in the East Jordan Valley from 1960-2009. By organisation and goals it should be divided in three sub-projects. Subproject A: 1960-1967; 5 excavation seasons. Headed by Franken of Leiden University and financed by ZWO this was the first to apply the strictly stratigraphic Wheeler-Kenyon method of excavation outside Jericho, being trained by Kenyon. Focus was on the Late-Bronze to Iron Age transition around 1200 BC, a historically highly challenging timeframe in that region. The project used pioneering pottery studies and became famous by the Late-Bronze Age temple and the Iron Age “Balaam Texts”, triggering biblical and more general interest. Subproject B: 1976-2009; 12 seasons. As a joint project of LU, the Jordanian DoA and YU, fieldwork was jointly set-up, financed and executed, with co-directors from LU (Franken, followed by Van der Kooij in 1979) and YU (Ibrahim, followed by Kafafi in 1996). The main goal became settlement history, for which also the earliest and last strata were excavated, from Middle-Bronze Age through Late-Iron Age (ca 1700 - 350 BC). The large scale detailed excavations gave the site a chronological authority for the periods concerned. The neighbouring Tell Hammeh (subproject C), with its very early iron production, was part of the project from1996-2009. It should be noted that the excavations not only had a scholarly goal but were also set up to train DoA-staff and students from mainly Dutch and Jordanian universities (especially LU and YU)

Group-based shame, guilt, and regret across cultures datasets and scripts

This includes the SPSS syntax, EFA R code and cleaned SPSS datasets (used for HLM analyses, N=1,358) for the study on ‘Group-based shame, guilt, and regret across cultures’ published in the European Journal of Social Psychology. This study was conducted as part of the ERC research project ‘Political Apologies across Cultures’ (for more information, see www.politicalapologies.com). The data were collected through online or face-to-face surveys conducted with a community sample in Burkina Faso, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Japan, Jordan, the Netherlands, Poland and the United States in 2017 and 2018. Only data pertaining to this study has been included. Although the questionnaire included a number of additional measures concerning responsibility, reputation and face-honor-dignity norms, these pertain to other studies within the project. More information about these measures is available from the authors upon request
