The search interface is made of three sections: Search, Explore, and Results. These are described in detail below.
You may start searching either from the Search section or from the Explore section.
Search
This section shows your current search criteria and allows you to submit keywords to search in the bibliography.
Each new submission adds the entered keywords to the list of search criteria.
To start a new search instead of adding keywords to the current search, use the Reset search button, then enter your new keywords.
To replace an already submitted keyword, first remove it by unchecking its checkbox, then submit a new keyword.
You may control the extent of your search by selecting where to search. The options are:
Everywhere: Search your keywords in all bibliographic record fields and in the text content of the available documents.
In authors or contributors: Search your keywords in author or contributor names.
In titles: Search your keywords in titles.
In all fields: Search your keywords in all bibliographic record fields.
In documents: Search your keywords in the text content of the available documents.
You may use boolean operators with your keywords. For instance:
AND: Finds entries that contain all specified terms. This is the default relation between terms when no operator is specified, e.g., a b is the same as a AND b.
OR: Finds entries that contain any of the specified terms, e.g., a OR b.
NOT: Excludes entries that contain the specified terms, e.g., NOT a.
Boolean operators must be entered in UPPERCASE.
You may use logical groupings (with parentheses) to eliminate ambiguities when using multiple boolean operators, e.g., (a OR b) AND c.
You may require exact sequences of words (with double quotes), e.g., "a b c". The default difference between word positions is 1, meaning that an entry will match if it contains the words next to each other, but a different maximum distance may be specified (with the tilde character), e.g., "web search"~2 allows up to 1 word between web and search, meaning it could match web site search as well as web search.
You may specify that some words are more important than others (with the caret), e.g., faceted^2 search browsing^0.5 specifies that faceted is twice as important as search when computing the relevance score of the results, while browsing is half as important. Such term boosting may be applied to a logical grouping, e.g., (a b)^3 c.
Keyword search is case-insentitive, accents are folded, and punctuation is ignored.
Stemming is performed on terms from most text fields, e.g., title, abstract, notes. Words are thus reduced to their root form, saving you from having to specify all variants of a word when searching, e.g., terms such as search, searches, and searching all produce the same results. Stemming is not applied to text in name fields, e.g., authors/contributors, publisher, publication.
Explore
This section allows you to explore categories associated with the references.
Categories can be used to filter your search. Check a category to add it to your search criteria and narrow your search. Your search results will then only show entries that are associated with that category.
Uncheck a category to remove it from your search criteria and broaden your search results.
The numbers shown next to the categories indicate how many entries are associated with each category in the current set of results. Those numbers will vary based on your search criteria to always describe the current set of results. Likewise, categories and whole facets will disappear when the result set has no entry associated to them.
An arrow icon () appearing next to a category indicates that subcategories are available. You may press it to expand a list of more specific categories. You may press it again later to collapse the list. Expanding or collapsing subcategories will not change your current search; this allows you to quickly explore a hierarchy of categories if desired.
Results
This section shows the search results. When no search criteria has been given, it shows the full content of the bibliography (up to 20 entries per page).
Each entry of the results list is a link to its full bibliographic record. From the bibliographic record view, you may continue exploring the search results by going to previous or following records in your search results, or you may return to the list of results.
Additional links, such as Read document or View on [website name], may appear under a result. These give you quick access to the resource. Those links will also be available in the full bibliographic record.
The Abstracts button lets you toggle the display of abstracts within the list of search results. Enabling abstracts, however, will have no effect on results for which no abstract is available.
Various options are provided to let you sort the search results. One of them is the Relevance option, which ranks the results from most relevant to least relevant. The score used for ranking takes into account word frequencies as well as the fields where they appear. For instance, if a search term occurs frequently in an entry or is one of very few terms used in that entry, that entry will probably rank higher than another where the search term occurs less frequently or where lots of other words also occur. Likewise, a search term will have more effect on the scores if it is rare in the whole bibliography than if it is very common. Also, if a search term appears in, e.g., the title of an entry, it will have more effect on the score of that entry than if it appeared in a less important field such as the abstract.
The Relevance sort is only available after keywords have been submitted using the Search section.
Categories selected in the Explore section have no effect on the relevance score. Their only effect is to filter the list of results.
In the 21st century, poverty still remains a serious issue for the world, halting development and
growth of nations. SDG 1 refers to the first Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) established by
United nations. It has as goal to “end poverty in all its forms everywhere”. Cape Verde as an UN
member also adopted it and aligned national policies to achieve it. This thesis aimed to analyze
the different policies adopted by the government of Cape Verde to implement SDG 1. Moreover,
this dissertation will also point out the different actors behind the implementation of SGD 1 in
Cabo Verde (both national and international actors), as well as find out their role in alleviating
poverty in Cabo Verde, in other words, how they contribute to poverty alleviation in Cabo Verde.
Based on a qualitative methodology, using document analysis as method to collect the data and
further using thematic analysis to analyze, code and categorize the collected data, the study was
able to answer the two research questions:
Research question 1: What are the different policies adopted by the government of Cape
Verde to implement SDG 1.
Research question 2: Who and what are the roles of the actors involved in the
implementation of SDG 1 in Cape Verde?
The findings of the study revealed that: As to research question 1, the study found out that the
government of Cape Verde has adopted several policies geared towards poverty reduction. Such
policies included social protection policies, investment in infrastructure policies, investment in
education policies, investment in health policies, investment in rural development policies,
economic diversification policies, gender equality and women empowerment policies, job
creation policies and climate change adaptation policies. As for research question 2, the study

revealed there are two main Actors are responsible for the implementation of SDG 1,
government institutions and National and International Partners. On one hand, the government of
Cape Verde is focused on creating and adopting polices that target the poor, as result this make
sure that they can lift from poverty or at least avoid they sinking into deeper poverty. On the
other hand, the partners (here known as Actors) helping on the implementation of SDG 1 in Cape
Verde work as a backup for the government, helping it on other issues related to SDG 1
implementation such as knowledge and capital provision and so on. The Cape Verde government
is dedicated to reducing poverty, focusing on the unemployment and migration phenomenon.
These factors contribute to poverty and exacerbate it. Despite these challenges, the overall
outlook on poverty reduction in Cape Verde is optimistic, indicating a significant commitment to
address the root causes of poverty
