Summary The year 2014 represented a solid step forward towards achieving TDR’s goals and delivering new tools, solutions and strategies against infectious diseases of poverty. The vast majority of the expected results are on track despite a challenging environment that led to a number of TDR’s staff dedicating time and effort to fighting the Ebola outbreak. This report shows progress made on various performance indicators related to three overarching categories: technical expected results, application of organizational core values, and managerial performance. Projects in research capacity strengthening made significant progress. The number of individual training grants increased greatly in 2014 compared to previous years, with 103 new grants awarded addressing global and regional priorities. The School of Public Health at the University of Ghana in Accra was selected as the TDR Regional Training Centre in the African region and will develop training programmes based on both the Implementation Research Toolkit developed by TDR and the School’s own courses in implementation research. TDR’s network of Regional Training Centres is now disseminating training courses in a geographical area expanded to include the Western Pacific, South‐East Asia and European WHO regions, in addition to the Americas, its inception point. TDR trainees’ career tracking showed that 88% of respondents still worked in health research, they returned to their regions (and countries) of origin following completion of their education, they were twice more likely to manage teams and three times more likely to be in permanent posts than their European counterparts. This information came from a European Science Foundation survey of grantees from several institutions, including TDR. TDR trainees rated the importance of support by their sponsor much higher, indicating a higher level of appreciation. The number of peer‐reviewed publications supported by TDR in 2014 increased significantly from 120 to 227compared to the previous year. The proportion published in open or free access was 88%, a significant increase compared to previous years, and a reflection of recent policies of both TDR and WHO on open‐access publications. First authors came from 54 DEC (disease endemic country) and 18 non‐DEC countries from all WHO regions. The proportion of women as first author reached an all‐time peak of 47% of TDR‐supported publications. The proportion of contracts awarded to women in 2014 was 43%, the highest in recent years. Reflecting the Programme’s focus on gender equity as a core value, TDR initiated a project to identify and gather solutions to roadblocks that affect the careers of women researchers. New research evidence, summarized in this report, contributed to innovative tools, strategies and solutions likely leading to improved prevention, diagnosis and treatment, with a positive impact on beneficiaries in disease endemic

  • Living Knowledges: Empirical Science and the Non-Human Animal in Contemporary Literature
    Living Knowledges: Empirical Science and the Non-Human Animal in Contemporary Literature By Joe Thomas Mansfield A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities School of English October 2019 ii Abstract In contribution to recent challenges made by animal studies regarding humanist approaches in empirical science, this thesis offers a critical analysis of contemporary literary fiction and its representations of the non-human animal and the human and non-human animal encounters and relations engendered within the scientific setting. This is achieved through a focusing in on four different scientific situations: cognitive ethological field research, long-term cognitive behavioural studies, short-term comparative psychology experimentations, and invasive surgical practices. Sub- divisions of scientific investigation selected for their different methodological procedures which directly dictate the situational circumstance and experience of non-human animals involved to produce particular kinds of knowledges on them. The thesis is divided into four chapters, organised into the four sub-divisions of contemporary scientific modes of producing knowledge on non-human animal life and the distinct empirical methodologies they employ. The first chapter provides an extended analysis of William Boyd’s Brazzaville Beach (1990), using Donna Haraway’s conceptualisations of the empirical sciences as socially constructed to examine how the novel

NEW TITLES The Generous Fish BY JACQUELINE JULES, ILLUSTRATED BY FRANCES TYRRELL Inspired by Jewish folklore, The Generous Fish is the story of a young boy named Reuven who takes a verse from scripture to “cast your bread upon the waters” (Ecclesiastes 11:1) quite literally. The result of his daily act is a giant talking fish with golden scales! Boy and fish spend idyllic days together until the villagers realize those scales are real gold. Every villager has good reason to ask for one. Devorah needs clothes for her children. Old Joseph needs money for a cane. The fish says he has plenty to share. But he grows weak from giving away too much, too fast. Can Reuven stand up to the village and save his friend? Jacqueline Jules is the author of forty books for young readers, including the award-winning Zapato Power series, Never Say a Mean Word Again: A Tale from Medieval Spain, and Feathers for Peacock. A former school librarian and teacher, Jacqueline enjoys visiting schools to share her passion for reading and writing. She is a word person, who loves rearranging words on the page, the same way people have fun fitting the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle together. Jacqueline lives in Arlington, Virginia.

  • Between the Gorilla and the Chimpanzee: a History of Debate Concerning the Existence of the Kooloo-Kamba Or Gorilla-Like Chimpanzee
    "J. Ethnobiol. 4(1): 1-13 May 1984 BETWEEN THE GORILLA AND THE CHIMPANZEE: A HISTORY OF DEBATE CONCERNING THE EXISTENCE OF THE KOOLOO-KAMBA OR GORILLA-LIKE CHIMPANZEE BRIAN T. SHEA Department ofAnthropology and Cell Biology & Anatomy Northwestern University 2006 Sheridan Road Evanston, IL 60201 ABSTRACT.-The taxonomic scheme proposed in 1934 by Ernst Schwarz for the subspec­ ific classification of common chimpanzees (P(J.n troglody tes) has been accepted by the majority of subsequent primatologists. A notable exception to this general trend is that the late W. C. O. Hill continued and revived a long history of controversial debate over the existence of a rare gorilla-like chimpanzee subspecies known as the "kooloo-kamba." The history of the enigmatic kooloo-kamba is reviewed here, from its early discovery and des­ cription by DuChaillu, through the morphological investigations of Keith, Schwarz, Merfield, and others, and finally to the more recent claims of Hill. Almost all claims supporting the existence of the kooloo-kamba have invoked indigenous labels and folk taxonomies as t'yJdence. The prolonged debate provides insights into the relationships between folk taxonomies and our own classifications. Confusion, vanatlon, and me u~~ 0"/ ,i'i'&"J.~\"ru".a..tc.t.!'" or hybrid categories in both Western and indigenous classifications probably reflects a salient biologic fact-gorillas and chimpanzees are very closely related animals with patterns of morphological development which coincide and overlap. INTRODUCTION During the late 1800s and early 1900s, a large number of chimpanzee and gorilla species were described by various workers, often on the basis of a particular variation of facial coloring, hair distribution, or cranial shape.

  • Swahili-English Dictionary, the First New Lexical Work for English Speakers
    S W AHILI-E N GLISH DICTIONARY Charles W. Rechenbach Assisted by Angelica Wanjinu Gesuga Leslie R. Leinone Harold M. Onyango Josiah Florence G. Kuipers Bureau of Special Research in Modern Languages The Catholic University of Americ a Prei Washington. B. C. 20017 1967 INTRODUCTION The compilers of this Swahili-English dictionary, the first new lexical work for English speakers in many years, hope that they are offering to students and translators a more reliable and certainly a more up-to-date working tool than any previously available. They trust that it will prove to be of value to libraries, researchers, scholars, and governmental and commercial agencies alike, whose in- terests and concerns will benefit from a better understanding and closer communication with peoples of Africa. The Swahili language (Kisuiahili) is a Bantu language spoken by perhaps as many as forty mil- lion people throughout a large part of East and Central Africa. It is, however, a native or 'first' lan- guage only in a nnitp restricted area consisting of the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba and the oppo- site coast, roughly from Dar es Salaam to Mombasa, Outside this relatively small territory, elsewhere in Kenya, in Tanzania (formerly Tanganyika), Copyright © 1968 and to a lesser degree in Uganda, in the Republic of the Congo, and in other fringe regions hard to delimit, Swahili is a lingua franca of long standing, a 'second' (or 'third' or 'fourth') language enjoy- ing a reasonably well accepted status as a supra-tribal or supra-regional medium of communication.

  • An Introspective Look on Primate Representation and How New Media Can Protect Primates from the Illegal Pet Trade
    #FREETOBECUTE: An Introspective Look on Primate Representation and how New Media can Protect Primates from the Illegal Pet Trade Madeline Carlson Department of Anthropology, University of Colorado Boulder 16 March 2020 Thesis Advisor: Dr. Herbert Covert, Department of Anthropology Committee Members: Dr. Douglas Bamforth, Department of Anthropology Dr. Jolene Fisher, Department of Advertising, Public Relations, and Media Design ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my thesis committee, professors, classmates, family, and close friends for all of their great support with this research journey. To my wonderful thesis committee – Dr. Herbert Covert, Dr. Jolene Fisher, and Dr. Douglas Bamforth – that made this research and writing possible, for always being available to answer questions, and guide me through this process, thank you. To my thesis classmates and professor, Dr. Alison Cool, thank you for all of the collective moral support and being a great resource of positivity; making Thursday mornings from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m. one of my favorite times of the week. To my mother and deceased father, who always believed in my writing and support my passions, thank you. To my brothers who helped me find a grounded research idea and be there for me as well, thank you. To my mother’s cats – Thomas, George, and Fiona – who are always willing to give me company when I return home, sitting on my lap while I write, or chewing on my notes – somehow saying they agree that they are better pets than a non-human primate. To my close friends and coworkers who had to deal with constant texts consisting of diatribes with social media posts supporting the pet trade at 2 a.m., thank you.
