Compact 2025: Conference program guide
No full textWelcome to the Global Event on “Accelerating the End of Hunger and Malnutrition.” Your participation will make a valuable contribution to this groundbreaking initiative to advance human well-being. Hunger and the multiple burdens of malnutrition cause human suffering and hold back economic potential. Achieving food and nutrition security is fundamental to reaching all the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, in recent years, progress towards eradicating hunger has slowed and even reversed globally. To end hunger and malnutrition by 2030, the world urgently needs to correct its course and pick up the pace.Non-PRIFPRI1; compact2025DG
Compact 2025: Ending hunger and undernutrition 2015
No full textHunger and undernutrition are two of the greatest scourges facing our planet today. We can eliminate both, and we can do so by 2025—which will also help end extreme poverty and will contribute to achieving multiple Sustainable Development Goals. But there are significant knowledge gaps related to eliminating hunger and undernutrition that must first be filled for effective and cost-efficient action. Compact2025 will address these gaps by acting as a Knowledge and Innovation Hub that will help guide countries in developing and implementing strategic actions for food security and nutrition. By working across sectors and with multiple stakeholders to provide evidence-based knowledge with an emphasis on country-led progress, Compact2025 will contribute to the achievement of global food security and nutrition by 2025

Accelerators to eliminate hunger and malnutrition
No full textProgress in eliminating hunger and malnutrition is too slow. Despite some periods of significant progress, reductions in hunger and undernutrition on a global scale have stagnated since 2000, and progress has varied widely across countries. In 2017, the number of undernourished people worldwide rose to nearly 821 million from around 804 million in 2016, and 151 million children remain stunted. At the same time, overweight, obesity, and associated noncommunicable diseases are rising faster than undernutrition is declining. Rapid urbanization, climate change, and continued conflict pose further threats to our global food system. If the world is to end hunger and malnutrition by 2030—the target year to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—it is time to pick up the pace.Non-PRIFPRI1; compact2025DG
IFPRI publications related to nutrition in Ethiopia
No full textThe International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) began research activities in Ethiopia in the 1980s to assess the root causes of drought-related food-production shortages and support adoption of appropriate policy responses. IFPRI’s rigorous empirical research contributed to a broader understanding of economic development processes in Ethiopia and built capacity to conduct such research on a national scale. Working with many long-standing partners, IFPRI evaluated strategies for achieving sustainable agricultural growth, investment in agricultural research, the provision of safety nets to strengthen resilience, prioritization of nutrition interventions for women and children, property rights, and management of natural resources, among other goals. Evidence from this and other work informed programs and initiatives to improve food and nutrition security for vulnerable people.Non-PRIFPRI1; compact2025DG

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
