Small_Scale_Fishery_ Fish2Sustainability _Data_2023

<p> </p>
<p><strong>Title:</strong> Qualitative Data on 61 Small-Scale Fisheries: A socio-ecological rapid appraisal applied to cases from Colombia, Ecuador, France, Kenya, Madagascar, Mexico, and Nigeria.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Description</strong></p>
<p>This dataset was created for the Fish2Sustainability research project, which aims to evaluate how small-scale fisheries (SSF) contribute to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The dataset includes 61 case studies across seven countries and was developed using a rapid appraisal framework. The framework includes a four-step process:</p>
<ol>
<li>Identifying specific SDG targets influenced by SSF;</li>
<li>Extracting relevant variables from UN indicators;</li>
<li>Gathering expert input via a questionnaire to score these variables;</li>
<li>Creating composite indicators to measure SSF performance against SDGs.</li>
</ol>
<p>The dataset contains raw data from step 3, case study details, variable scores, and comments from data collectors (contributing authors). The dataset is valuable for researchers interested in small-scale fisheries and socio-ecological systems. By incorporating expert judgments from individuals with expertise in SSF, particularly in data-poor contexts, the dataset offers a wealth of knowledge for conducting comparative analyses across different contexts.</p>

<p><strong>Method</strong></p>
<p>Case studies were selected in seven countries by national SSF experts, based on specific criteria and research priorities. Case studies were not selected to represent the full diversity of SSF globally or even nationally. Instead, they were chosen to capture a range of fisheries that could showcase different contributions to SDGs. SSFs were defined based on various characteristics, such as resources harvested, gear used, and location of the fishery.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Geographical Coverage</strong></p>
<p>61 small-scale fisheries located in seven countries are documented in the data:</p>
<ul>
<li>Colombia (4 case studies) – Caribe: La Guajira, San Andrés y Providencia; Pacifico: Chocó, Cauca, Valle del Cauca, Nariño.</li>
<li>Ecuador (3) – Region: Esmeraldas, Manabi, Guayas, El Oro.</li>
<li>France (2) – Region: Bretagne, Occitanie.</li>
<li>Kenya (24) – County: Kilifi, Kwale, Lamu, Mombasa, Tana River.</li>
<li>Madagascar (20) – Region: Analanjirofo, Anosy, Atsimo Andrefana, Boeny, Diana, Menabe, Vatovavy Fitovinany.</li>
<li>Mexico (2) – State: Baja California Sur, Campeche, Yucatan.</li>
<li>Nigeria (6) – State: Bayelsa, Cross River, Lagos, Ondo, Ogun.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Data Collection</strong></p>
<p>Data collection took place from November 30, 2022, to July 3, 2023, spanning approximately seven months. The data presented serve as a snapshot of the conditions within a specific small-scale fishery during the assessment period. To consider the evolution of trends such as exports, economic growth, and income, we considered any relevant variables over the past decade.</p>
<p>Data collection approaches varied depending on the context, and data collectors received training to ensure survey consistency. We used primary data sources such as interviews, observations, and measurements whenever possible. In cases where resources were limited, we preferred secondary sources such as existing datasets and literature. Our methods were standardized, but data collectors could adjust them based on their resources. We primarily used direct observation, focus groups, and interviews to collect data. Scoring in interviews and focus groups was done directly or through group analysis by interviewers. Disagreements were resolved through additional interviews or group discussions, with secondary data used if needed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Ethics</strong></p>
<p>Participants had the option to join of their own accord, were fully briefed on the research goals, and were given the opportunity to review interview guidelines before proceeding. Depending on the circumstances, interviews could last 45 minutes to 4.5 hours. Participants were guaranteed confidentiality and anonymity in the handling and reporting of their data.</p>

UKMARC AMC: Draft Rev 4.0: UK MARC format for archives and manuscripts control (UK MARC AMC)
No full textThis draft is the first attempt to establish a UK MARC specifically for Archives and Manuscripts Control since the British Library indicated that it would countenance such extensions to the national UK MARC format. In order to keep consistency with the general UK MARC format, standard UK MARC subject fields are not included in this document, since they should be taken from the latest version of the UK MARC manual. {A note of them should perhaps be included in UK MARC AMC.} {NB Text in braces is intended to be explanatory material for readers of this draft}. Certain other fields have not been included that might occasionally be used in the cataloguing of archival materials but would generally only be used for such materials in organizations which were combining archive
databases with library databases. This MARC version is intended for use with descriptions of archive or anuscript material that follow, or fit, the traditional style of cataloguing: we assume that these will normally relate
to paper or parchment originals. It is not intended for use with descriptions of other kinds of material. For these, fields may be drawn from the appropriate UK MARC document. MARC versions for use with archives in special formats should be developed, in order to complete the full range of facilities available to archivists and curators

Populism, populists, european democracies and European Union. The Italian case
No full textIn this chapter, the author starts by a necessary clarification of some notions as populism and fascism because there is a lot of confusion in the public debate but also a lot of academic controversies. The debate has been immediately re-launched in September 2022, after the victory at the general elections of Giorgia Meloni’s head of Brothers of Italy, a party who has a neo-fascist legacy, and after her nomination as chief of the Italian government. Marc Lazar concludes this first part of the chapter by giving what he calls an operative definition of populism, populist and fascism. In a second part, the author analyses Meloni’s party Brothers of Italy and proposes a characterisation of this party which is evolving. In a third part of the chapter, Marc Lazar reflects on what does Meloni and her party on Italian democracy and on the European Union but also what the Italian democracy and the European Union do to Meloni and Brothers of Italy. For the author, the Italian democracy and the European Union demonstrate a high capacity of resilience to the populist challenge and a propension of acculturation of the populists’ leader and party. He concludes pointing out that is a working progress, the end of which is unknown
Managing Technology Risks Through Technological Proficiency: Guidance for Local Governments
No full textLike most organizations, local governments face challenges managing technology, the critical resource to meet evolving public service expectations. But benefits associated with adapting the latest technology come with risks, some more apparent than others.
This report details the problems facing municipal officials as they try to maximize the benefits of technology for their communities and constituents in the face of cybersecurity, legal, operational, financial, reputational and societal risks.
The report concludes that top municipal officials must create and maintain an environment of “technological proficiency.” That includes creating a process for making technology decisions, developing an annually reviewed technology plan that is tied to the budget, instituting a “cyber hygiene” training program for all employees in proper computer security practices, and making sure that agency technology is competently managed.
The report is supplemented by a "Best Practices and Resources Guide" that organizations can use to achieve technology proficiency. It provides best practices based on an organization's technology profile.Report and Supplement were prepared for the Municipal Excess Liability Fund, a joint insurance fund of over 600 New Jersey local government agencies
