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

Etymology. The name of this species refers to the Berbers peoples of North Africa. Many Berbers are called Imazighen (their singular is Amazigh), which means “free men”, to whom we dedicate this species. The species epithet is a noun in apposition. Diagnosis. Loxosceles imazighen sp. n. differs from L. mrazig in the shape and proportions of the male palpal tibia (Figs. 3 B, D–E) and the shape and disposition of the seminal receptacles in females (Figs. 4 B–D, 5 A–F). In L. mrazig the male palpal tibia is short, oval, slightly longer than wide (0.63 long, 0.54 wide), almost circular, while in L. imazighen sp. n. the male palpal tibia is clearly longer than wide, sharply oval. (0.74 long, 0.54 wide). In females, L. imazighen sp. n. differs from L. mrazig by the shape and disposition of the vulva inner lobe (Figs. 4 B–D, 5). In the new species the inner lobe is approximately twice as long as the outer lobe while in L. mrazig the inner lobe is more than two-fold longer. In L. mrazig the basal part of the inner lobe is directed toward the center, then strongly curved and pointing ventrally. In L. imazighen sp. n. the basal part of the inner lobe is abruptly curved pointing apically and continues forming a sharp curve pointing ventrally. Both species can also be distinguished by the leg length/carapace length ratios (Fig. 8). In L. mrazig males and females show proportionally shorter legs than those of L. imazighen sp. n. Description. Male (Holotype LX1994). Left palp removed and conserved in a vial with specimen. Left legs I to IV detached and conserved in vials with specimen. Coloration: Carapace pale yellow, median groove, clypeus and pars cephalica slightly darkened. Dark V-mark not contacting in the posterior vertex of pars cephalica. Black eye tubercles (Fig. 3-A).

Legs covered by short and long thicker setae. Palp: 3.07 long. Femur cylindrical (1.30 long, 0.29 wide). Patella subglobular, slightly longer (0.39) than wide (0.34). Tibia (0.74 long, 0.54 wide) oval in dorsal view, paunchy ventrally, rounded more abruptly toward the patella than the tarsus. Tarsus (0.64 long), rounded apically, shorter than the tibia. Bulb (0.48 wide) globular, shorter than the tarsus. Bulb width more than two-fold wider than embolus base. Embolus long (0.74) and curved, slightly more pronounced at its mid-length, and displaying a sinuous curve in its apex (Fig. 3 C). Female (Paratype LX1988) Genitalia removed and conserved in a vial with specimen. Right leg II removed and conserved in a vial with specimen. Right leg IV missing. Coloration: Similar to male except for the carapace, which is slightly darkened, sternum yellowish, labium and gnathocoxae orange yellowish, darkened in its distal part. Legs subtly more yellowish than those of the male. Palps pale yellowish, slightly pale reddish in its apical segments. Prosoma: Carapace slightly longer (3.17) than wide (2.87).

Palp (3.62): femur 1.21, patella 0.38, tibia 0.81, tars 1.22. Vulva: as in Fig. 4 B–D). Genital opening connects to two large slightly rounded pouches sclerotized at the edges. Base of seminal receptacle conical and wide. Markedly reinforced laterally with a curved, dark, sclerotized band. Medium part short, slightly conical, curved toward the center and bifurcated in two lobes. The outer lobe is short and tapered or subglobular, pointing to the center, whereas the inner is approximately twice as long. Its basal part is directed toward the apically, strongly curved and pointing ventrally. Seminal receptacles separated at their closest point by more than the apical diameter of the outer lobe. Inner and outer lobe not touching each other by roughly the diameter of the outer lobe. Variability. Genital morphology shows variability in females (Fig. 5 A–F). The inner lobe can be wider as in LX1981, LX1974 (Fig. 5 A–B) and less abruptly curved as in LX1981 (Fig. 5 B–D). The outer lobe can be shorter and can point ventrally as in LX1981, LX1974 (Fig. 5 E–F). The outer lobe can be hidden by the inner lobe in a dorsal view as in LX1981 (Fig. 5 B). Distribution. Known for five localities in the provinces of Errachidia, Figuig and Zagora, located south of the Moroccan Atlas (Fig. 1B). This species ranges to the south of the Moroccan Atlas, from Figuig (1295 m.a.s.l.) near the Algerian border, to Amguene n’Sfia (1321 m.a.s.l.). This whole area is open to the warm and dry winds of the Sahara. The average annual precipitation is only 100 mm on the southern slope and 300 mm at the top of the mountain range. The landscape is very arid with plateaus, peaks and plains. The most common environment is the vast spaces of bare rocks. The specimens were collected between 623 and 1321 m.a.s.l. under stones and in caves. In the Anti-Atlas, the most southwestern part of the Atlas mountain range, this species has not been found, possibly due to this area having a high human activity and still preserving green valleys and true oases that are quite well irrigated and cultivated (e.g. Tafraute), which contrast strongly with the steppe and the arid landscape of the easternmost exposed slopes.Published as part of Massa, Marc & Ribera, Carles, 2021, The Mediterranean species of genus Loxosceles Heineken & Lowe, 1832 (Araneae Sicariidae): Loxosceles imazighen sp. n. from Morocco and first description of the female of L. mrazig Ribera & Planas, 2009 from Tunisia, pp. 326-348 in Zootaxa 5071 (3) on pages 334-339, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5071.3.2, http://zenodo.org/record/572371

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
