    No full text
    The aim of the present paper is: 1. To provide definitions and outline trends in capacity development in Agricultural Research for Development (ARD) 2. to summarize the findings and recommendations of recent documents on planning and conducting capacity development activities in ARD 3. to present a summary and a compilation of best practices and innovative capacity development approaches among ERA-ARD consortium members 4. to derive basic principles for capacity development in ARD and to define entry points for joint and/or transnational activities to strengthen capacity development in ARD

    Hippoporella maderensis Souto, Reverter-Gil & Fernández-Pulpeiro, 2014 (Figs 26–27) Hippoporella maderensis Souto, Reverter-Gil & Fernández-Pulpeiro, 2014: 146, figs 26–32. Material examined MMF 44304, 32º 38 ’03.34’’ N; 16 º 56 ’04.05’’ W, 11 m, August 2013, on rock samples. Remarks. Hippoporella maderensis was recently described by Souto et al. (2014) from rhodoliths collected near Funchal, Madeira. The present specimens, with the same characters as the type material, were not found on rhodoliths but growing over coralline algae upon rocks. Therefore, the species might have a preference for colonizing substrata formed by coralline algae.Published as part of Souto, Javier, Kaufmann, Manfred J. & Canning-Clode, João, 2015, New species and new records of bryozoans from shallow waters of Madeira Island, pp. 581-593 in Zootaxa 3925 (4) on page 589, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3925.4.7, http://zenodo.org/record/24110

    Best practices and innovative capacity development approaches in ARD programmes of ERA-ARD consortium members: Draft compilation of National Contribution

    No full text
    In the framework of the European Research Area for Agricultural Research for Development (ERA-ARD) project, a survey of innovative approaches in capacity development (CD) was undertaken. All Consortium members were asked to describe innovative approaches and best practices of CD mechanisms within their ARD programmes. A tabular overview of all the programmes or mechanisms can be found on page 4. Abstracts of the programmes or mechanisms are compiled in alphabetic order of the consortium members in this document. The intention of this catalogue of mechanisms is to give an overview of different approaches and practices and not to provide a comprehensive mapping of all the ongoing CD activities of the Consortium members. Thus, the programmes described represent only a fraction of all the ongoing CD programmes on the national level

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

Aetea anguina: Hincks 1880: 4, pl. 1, figs 4–5; Prenant & Bobin 1968: 80, figs 17, 18; Hayward & Ryland 1998: 100, fig. 16. Material examined.

Only one previous work reported A. anguina in Madeira, as a common species on seaweeds (Norman 1909). Aetea anguina is considered a widespread species in temperate and tropical waters but not in polar waters. This species grows in shallow water, mainly on seaweeds, but it is possible to find it on rocks, shells, hydroids or other bryozoans (Prenant & Bobin 1966; Hayward & Ryland 1998). The specimens recorded in this study were found on rock samples, particularly parts covered by coralline algae.Published as part of Souto, Javier, Kaufmann, Manfred J. & Canning-Clode, João, 2015, New species and new records of bryozoans from shallow waters of Madeira Island, pp. 581-593 in Zootaxa 3925 (4) on page 585, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3925.4.7, http://zenodo.org/record/24110

Reptadeonella violacea is widespread in mostly warm-temperate areas, although in the Atlantic it reaches the Isle of Man (Hayward & Ryland, 1999). It is abundant in the Mediterranean, Cape Verde Islands, West Africa, Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and the Pacific Coast of North America (Hayward & Ryland, 1999). In Madeira, R. violacea was previously recorded by Norman (1909) and is fairly common on the south coast of the island (Canning-Clode and Kaufmann, pers. obs.).Published as part of Souto, Javier, Kaufmann, Manfred J. & Canning-Clode, João, 2015, New species and new records of bryozoans from shallow waters of Madeira Island, pp. 581-593 in Zootaxa 3925 (4) on page 587, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3925.4.7, http://zenodo.org/record/24110

    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
