Mainstreaming Biodiversity in Production Landscapes
No full textThis volume contributes to broadening
the understanding and application of the concept of
mainstreaming biodiversity. It captures the inputs to, and
findings of an international workshop held in Cape Town,
South Africa, in September 2004 on Mainstreaming
Biodiversity in Production Landscapes and Sectors. The aims
of the workshop were to: determine an operational definition
of the concept of mainstreaming biodiversity in production
landscapes and sectors; demonstrate the role of
mainstreaming in advancing Convention on Biological
Diversity (CBD) goals and Strategic Priority of the Global
Environment Facility (GEF) work program; explore the scale
at which mainstreaming can most effectively be implemented;
critique successes and failures in achieving mainstreaming
outcomes to date; and, brainstorm on modified or new
approaches and tools. These aims are addressed in the first
paper in this volume, which explores what is meant by
"mainstreaming biodiversity," while the new
approaches and tools-the products of the workshop-are
outlined in the final paper, on guidelines for effective
intervention. The remaining papers, presented at the open
symposium preceding the workshop, represent a broad range of
mainstreaming initiatives-in Africa, Asia, Australia,
Europe, and Latin America, and in a large number of
production sectors. A final paper, drafted by the Cape Town
workshop participants, provides guidelines on effective
interventions in achieving mainstreaming outcomes

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
