WHO'S WHO AT THE PARKS CONGRESS Introduction One of the most important "products" from an event such as the lVlh World Congress on National Parks and Protected Areas is the personal contacts that arc made between participants. In order to facilitate such contacts, the Secretariat has produced the following ducumcnt, based on information provided on the registration forms and presented in the language in which the information was received. 111c document is an informal one, provided purely for the convenience of participants. It is not the formal list of participants, which will be issued at the end of the Congress. It hat not been proof read, or corrected by the participants, so it may contain errors. Very little editorial work has been done, so the short descriptions display great diversity. 'Hie document certainly docs not include everyone who will be participating, as some people have not yet registered: and it may well contain people who arc unable to attend even though they have registered. Despite these shortcomings, wc hope that Who's Who will provide a useful guide to the participants at the Congress. Note that each participant has a pigeon hole near the Registration Desk, where messages can be left and meetings arranged. The Secretariat welcomes the advice of Congress Participants about whether this document should be further refined and presented as the formal list of participants at the Congress.

    THE RISE, CONSOLIDATION AND DISINTEGRATION OF DLAMINI POWER IN SWAZILAND BETWEEN 1820 AND 1889. A study in the relationship of foreign affairs to internal political development.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The Swazi kingdom grew out of the pressures associated with competition for trade and for the rich resources of Shiselweni. While centred on this area it acquired some of its characteristic features - notably a regimental system, and the dominance of a Dlamini aristocracy. Around 1815 the Swazi came under pressure from the South, and were forced to colonise the land lying north of the Lusutfu. Here they remained for some years a nation under arms, as they plundered local peoples, and were themselves swept about by the currents of the Mfecane. In time a more settled administration emerged, as the aristocracy spread out from the royal centres at Ezulwini, and this process accelerated under Mswati as he subdued recalcitrant chiefdoms, and restructured the regiments.

  • Risk Factors Associated with Sexual Violence Towards Girls in Swaziland
    Research Risk factors associated with sexual violence towards girls in Swaziland Matthew J Breiding,a Avid Reza,b Jama Gulaid,c Curtis Blanton,b James A Mercy,a Linda L Dahlberg,a Nonhlanhla Dlaminid & Sapna Bamrahe Objective To explore risk factors for sexual violence in childhood in a nationally representative sample of females aged 13 to 24 years in Swaziland. Methods During a household survey respondents were asked to report any experiences of sexual violence before the age of 18 years. The association between childhood sexual violence and several potential demographic and social risk factors was explored through bivariate and multivariate logistic regression. Findings Participants totalled 1244. Compared with respondents who had been close to their biological mothers as children, those who had not been close to her had higher odds of having experienced sexual violence (crude odds ratio, COR: 1.89; 95% CI: 1.14–3.14), as did those who had had no relationship with her at all (COR: 1.93; 95% CI: 1.34–2.80). In addition, greater odds of childhood sexual violence were noted among respondents who were not attending school at the time of the survey (COR: 2.26; 95% CI: 1.70–3.01); who were emotionally abused as children (COR: 2.04; 95% CI: 1.50–2.79); and who knew of another child who had been sexually assaulted (COR: 1.77; 95% CI: 1.31–2.40) or was having sex with a teacher (COR: 2.07; 95% CI: 1.59–2.69). Childhood sexual violence was positively associated with the number of people the respondent had lived with at any one time (COR: 1.03; 95% CI: 1.01–1.06).

  • SADC: Across National Borders (From: Akzente, the GIZ Magazin, 04/2013)
    ACROSS NATIONAL BORDERS Elephants are just one of the problems making life difficult for people in the Kavango Zambezi region. In an effort to identify transboundary solutions, 15 African countries formed the Southern African Development Community (SADC). Text Philipp Hedemann PHOTO: GUY STUBBS PHOTO: 38 akzente 04/2013 COMMITMENT > SOUTHERN AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY Kinshasa, Dem. Rep. Congo Dodoma, Luanda, Tanzania Victoria, Angola Seychelles Lusaka, Zambia Lilongwe, Malawi Antananarivo, Madagascar Harare, Zimbabwe Port Louis, Windhoek, Mauritius Namibia Gaborone, Botswana Maputo, Mozambique Pretoria, South Africa Lobamba, Swaziland Maseru, Lesotho Towards balanced economic development The Southern African Development Community (SADC) has been in existence since 1980, when it was formed as an alliance of countries known as the Southern African Develop- ment Coordination Conference (SADCC). Its transformation into the present-day SADC took place in 1992. The member states are Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The regional organisation strives for politically stable, socially equitable and sustainable economic development in order to alleviate poverty in the region. Members have signed 27 protocols, in which governments commit to step up and strengthen their cooperation and promote good governance, peace and security. In 2008, 12 of the member states es- tablished an SADC free trade area. The principal executive institution is the SADC Secre- tariat, which is responsible for strategic planning and coordination of joint SADC pro- grammes. It organises and manages SADC meetings, including the Summits of Heads of Foraging elephants can cause State or Government and the meetings of the Council of Ministers.

  • Buenos Aires Research Guide Where to Stay Travelling Around the City
    Buenos Aires Research Guide This is a multi-authored document on carrying out research in Buenos Aires, compiled by staff and students at the Centre of Latin American Studies, Cambridge. We hope it will be helpful to you and to many others in the future. Please email Joanna Page ([email protected]) if you have any new discoveries to add or to update any details that are wrong. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Where to stay Most students/researchers would opt for one of three areas: Palermo, Barrio Norte or San Telmo. Palermo is the quietest and has low-rise buildings and lots of trendy cafes/restaurants, but it can feel a bit touristy, it’s further out from the city centre and the transport links aren’t as good, depending on which part you’re staying in. San Telmo is a more traditional neighbourhood and lots of people love it, but some parts are more rundown. Barrio Norte is probably a good compromise – nice, safe neighbourhood with lots of facilities and good transport links to the centre. Best to choose somewhere near a subte station or near major bus routes (eg along Avenida Santa Fe, Las Heras, etc.). Travelling around the city You will need to buy a Sube card for a small deposit on arrival, which will work for buses and the metro. This can then be recharged at metro stations and many kiosks. For travelling throughout the city, the websites http://beta.comoviajo.com/ and http://mapa.buenosaires.gob.ar/ are very useful. You can enter your starting point and destination and they will calculate the fastest public transport connections between them.

  • Six (Or Nearly So) Big Challenges for Farmland Bird Conservation in Italy
    https://doi.org/10.30456/AVO.2019201 Avocetta 43: 101-113 (2019) Six (or nearly so) big challenges for farmland bird conservation in Italy MATTIA BRAMBILLA MUSE Trento, Sezione Zoologia dei Vertebrati - Corso del Lavoro e della Scienza 3, 38122 Trento, Italy Fondazione Lombardia per l’Ambiente, Settore Biodiversità e aree protette - Largo 10 luglio 1976 1, 20822 Seveso (MB), Italy Lipu/BirdLife Italia - Via Udine 3/a, 43100 Parma, Italy; [email protected] Abstract – Italy harbours a large proportion of the breeding populations of several threatened or declining farmland species, but has been under-represented for a long time in studies about ecology and conservation of farmland birds. In the last two decades, several studies have partially filled the gap, providing key knowledge for their conservation; however, the practical implementation of conservation strat- egies had been very limited, and many aspects still require research. I analyse the status of farmland birds in Italy, identify main issues for their conservation, and propose directions for effective conservation strategies. Species tied to grassland-like habitats (hay meadow, mon- tane grassland, pasture, pseudosteppe) currently have the most concerning conservation status, followed by species occupying agricultural mosaics and shrubland; only generalist species are performing better and include many species with favourable conservation status. Sev- eral factors/pressures negatively affect breeding farmland birds in Italy. Main threats could be tentatively assigned to six “challenges”: agricultural intensification, land abandonment, pest management, low breeding success, difficult practical implementation of conserva- tion measures, within-season shift in distribution and habitat by breeding species. They are interconnected by means of direct effects or by acting on the same ultimate drivers of population dynamics.
