Naming the Reformed Junior Cycle Proposals for the Minister for Education and Skills - Irish Second Level Students Union (ISSU)

It was important to us to engage with as many students as possible throughout the process of developing a new name for the reformed junior cycle. In this vein, we used a wide variety of methods to engage with students in order to capture as many ideas as possible; text messaging, Facebook, Twitter, email and consultation sessions. We circulated posters to all schools via post and/or email, and contacted schools in catchment areas for the consultation sessions by phone. In our consultation sessions, we had discussions with the participating students about what the new junior cycle would be, closely guided by the content of “Towards a Framework for Junior Cycle” from the National Council for Curriculum and assessment. In these sessions, students then gave feedback on what they thought of the reformed junior cycle, developed their own ideas, and identified what they thought should be reflected in the name of the reformed junior cycle

Espécies novas de Centris Fabricius (Hymenoptera, Apoidea)

Three new species of Centris Fabricius, 1804 are described: C. (Melacentris) melanosara sp. nov. (Viçosa-MG, Brazil), C. (Ptilotopus) melampoda sp. nov. (Manaus-AM, Brazil), and C. (Ptilotopus) erythrotricha sp. nov. (Pucallpa, Peru). Centris (Melacentris) frieseana nom. nov., a new name given to Centris friesei Ducke, 1902, non Schrottky, 1902. Comments and comparison between C. (Melacentris) rhodoprocta Moure & Seabra, 1961 and C. (Ptilotopus) nobilis Westwood, 1840, are given. All the species are figured.

Three replacement names for species of the subfamily Leiinae (Diptera, Mycetophilidae)

New names are proposed for three cases of homonymy in the Mycetophilidae subfamily Leiinae, one in the genus Docosia Winnerz, one in Leia Meigen, and one in Tetragoneura Winnertz. Docosia garretti nom. nov. is proposed for Docosia setosa Garrett, 1925; Leia walkeri nom. nov. for Leia bimaculata (Walker, 1848); and Tetragoneura sasakawai nom. nov. for Tetragoneura tibialis Sasakawa, 1961. The context of each new name is discussed.

Un acte de guérilla : la pseudonymie en Afrique francophone subsaharienne

L'affirmation de soi à travers l'adoption d'un pseudonyme se présente comme une forme d'autocréation qui répond à l'acte d'écriture, en tant que forme première d'une individualité dans la langue. Le nouveau nom remplit la fonction symbolique d'invention de soi par la nomination, tout en jouant, chez certains écrivains d'Afrique noire, de l'inscription d'une autre langue au sein de l'onomastique française. Pour certains d'entre eux, l'autonomination apparaît même comme un acte de guérilla, une affirmation de soi et non une dissimulation, marquée au coin de l'onomastique africaine et d'un contexte historico-politique qui lui donne sens. Dans le cadre de cet article, à considérer comme l'esquisse d'une réflexion abordant un champ encore peu exploré, il s'agit d'envisager les divers enjeux de la nomination en Afrique noire, puis d'interroger les pratiques d'écrivains pseudonymes, tels Sony Labou Tansi, Mongo Beti et Ken Bugul, qui constituent des cas de figure particulièrement significatifs de cette pratique. Self-affirmation via the adoption of a pseudonym constitues a form of self-creation springing from the act of writing, in the guise of a primary shape given within language to an individual. The new name fulfills the symbolic function of inventing oneself through nomination while playing on - in the instance of certain black African writers - the inscription of another language within French onomastics. For one, self-naming appears as a « guerilla action », an affirmation of self and not its dissimulation, marked on the edges by African onomastics and an historico-political context that gives the meaning. In this article, offered as an outline of an approch to an little-explored field of investigation, we seek to identify the various stakes related to naming in black Africa, before examining specific techniques demonstrated by pseudonymous writers such as Sony Labou Tansi, Mongo Beti, and Ken Bugul, taken as exemplary and particulary significant in this domain.

Science Complex Opening

Robert S. K. Welch celebrates the opening of the new Science Complex wing, an addition to the Mackenzie Chown Complex, as Dr. Alan Earp (pictured behind Welch) and others look on. The new name for the Academic Staging Building was also unveiled. It was renamed after former mayor Mackenzie Chown.

Identité des Africains-Américains d'Atlanta : entre mémoire et histoire

Depuis une vingtaine d’années, nous nous familiarisons avec l’appellation d’Africains -Américains pour désigner les Noirs Américains. Cependant, dès son apparition, certaines personnes ont pensé que cette appellation ne serait pas acceptée par les membres du groupe. Pourtant, à leur arrivée sur le continent américain,les Noirs s’identifiaient comme Africains et cette référence est réapparue au XXe siècle. À travers des entrevues, effectuées à Atlanta en mars 2001, nous analysons le rôle joué par la mémoire collective et la mémoire sociale sur l’identité et nous interprétons les discours des individus concernant la nouvelle appellation instaurée en 1989. Ce mémoire est une analyse historique et anthropologique des discours identitaires chez des Africains-Américains d’Atlanta en 2001. Nous identifions deux axes du processus d’identification dont les racines remontent au XIXe siècle. La conscience de la situation unique des Africains en Amérique a toujours orienté l’identité «…and the Negro protest movement in two ways and has led in two directions simultaneously: wanting out and wanting in …» (Joanne Grant 1968, 1983, 1986: 9).

The endemic flora of Morocco

Morocco is characterized by high vascular plant diversity with an estimated 4200 species and subspecies of which 22% are endemic. This study presents an updated list of the endemic species in the Moroccan flora following the classification of APG III, including comments on their geographical distribution and ecoregions. The endemic flora contains 879 species and subspecies in 55 families and 287 genera. Three new combinations are proposed. The High Atlas, Middle Atlas and the Rif mountains are the three richest floristic regions for endemic species, but the endemics are not restricted to these floristic regions only. Conservation efforts are therefore necessary in both the Mediteranean and Saharan ecoregions to preserve the biodiversity and botanical richness of Morocco. In this updated checklist we propose a new combination (Verbascum demnatensis) and a new name (Verbascum hamidoui) in the genus Verbascum (Scrophulariaceae).

Roquette-Pinto e a Rádio Sociedade do Rio de Janeiro

A trajetória da Rádio Sociedade do Rio de Janeiro e o papel crucial desempenhado por Edgard Roquette-Pinto em sua criação e desenvolvimento é o que o presente trabalho retrata, por meio de uma coletânea de documentos do acervo daquela instituição. São apresentados arquivos audiovisuais, entrevistas e depoimentos que comprovam a importância desempenhada pela primeira rádio brasileira, cujo objetivo era difundir educação e cultura a todos os povos, estreitando o liame ciência, tecnologia e informação. O período de sua existência (1923-1936) foi marcado por uma conjuntura política peculiar cujas determinações inviabilizaram a continuidade da Rádio Sociedade nos moldes determinados pelos seus precursores, ou seja: difusão educativa. A rádio foi doada ao governo federal no ano de 1936, passando a se chamar Rádio Ministério da Educação.

Linnaeus's Plantae Surinamenses revisited

In 1775, Jacob Alm defended the Linnaean dissertation Plantae Surinamenses under the precidency of Carolus Linnaeus. In this account of Surinamese plants preserved in alcohol, given to Linnaeus by the King Gustavus III of Sweden, 148 species were treated, 117 of them with species names determined. Fifteen other species were indicated as new, but were neither described nor named, and 16 species were identified only to genus level. Here, the taxonomic identity and nomenclatural status of those names are updated and discussed. Five of the 117 names and also 11 of their synonyms, a species name described by Rottboll and ten described by Linnaeus filius are lectotypified. Two new combinations and a new name are proposed, and two new synonyms are established.
