Pro-poor Growth: Negotiating consensus on a contentious issue
No full textRapid and sustained poverty reduction requires pro-poor growth, that is a pace and pattern of growth that enhances the ability of poor women and men to participate in, contribute to and benefit from growth. Richard Manning describes how the pro-poor growth concept has produced consensus within the donor community on an issue that has proved controversial for decades. He explains how applying a pro-poor growth lens shows that donors need to rethink their approaches to private sector development, agriculture and infrastructure, areas that used to be neglected but whose contribution to promoting pro-poor growth is now recognized. Development (2007) 50, 42–47. doi:10.1057/palgrave.development.1100357

Keynote speech by Richard Manning, chair of OECD/DAC
No full textKeynote speech by Richard Manning, Chair of OECD/DAC. Mr. Manning, on his remarks highlighted that, Better statistics are needed most importantly for greater effectiveness of public expenditure generally, however it is funded, and much more remains to be done to ensure the better use of statistics as part of the enabling environment for development. This means that governments and civil society need to demand better statistics and donors should stand ready to support this according to partner country priorities, either directly or indirectly as part of budget or sector support. A good statistical development strategy, adequately funded and successfully implemented, can make a big difference to the performance of a national statistical system and help resource-starved statistical services to break free from the vicious cycle of under-funding and under-performance. The PARIS21 secretariat will present a report on progress by African countries in preparing NSDSs; and a complementary report for statistical capacity building by the donor community
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
A Semi-Centennial Discourse before the First Congregational Society in Bridgewater, Delivered on Lord\u27s Day, 17th September 1871
Get PDFThe Rev. Richard Manning Hodges served as minister of the First Congregational Society in Bridgewater (at the time called the South Parish and now known as the First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church of Bridgewater, MA) from 1821 to 1833, after having been ordained there in 1821. On the fiftieth anniversary of his ministry and after a long career in Cambridge and Somerville he returned to his first settlement to address the congregation.
This volume of approximately sixty pages is a complete text of both his discourse and the other elements of a Unitarian religious service of the 1870’s period. The last few pages may have been added at the time of publication and are interesting “historical notes” which include comments about the history of the town, the earlier ministers of the church, the nature of religious services, the high points of Rev. Hodges’ ministry and the coming to the community of other religious organizations.
The tone of the Rev. Hodges’ discourse is gentile and nostalgic befitting a minister of long and prestigious service, perhaps one who thought himself near the end of life as well as ministry. However, he does make note of the doctrinal controversy of his time in Bridgewater (well known as the Unitarian Controversy) which led to the church becoming Unitarian.
Rev. Hodges died in 1878 at the age of 84 and is buried in Cambridge.https://vc.bridgew.edu/local_histories/1003/thumbnail.jp
