    Development of the Global Film Industry The global film industry has witnessed significant transformations in the past few years. Regions outside the USA have begun to prosper while non-traditional produc- tion companies such as Netflix have assumed a larger market share and online movies adapted from literature have continued to gain in popularity. How have these trends shaped the global film industry? This book answers this question by analyzing an increasingly globalized business through a global lens. Development of the Global Film Industry examines the recent history and current state of the business in all parts of the world. While many existing studies focus on the internal workings of the industry, such as production, distribution and screening, this study takes a “big picture” view, encompassing the transnational integration of the cultural and entertainment industry as a whole, and pays more attention to the coordinated develop- ment of the film industry in the light of influence from literature, television, animation, games and other sectors. This volume is a critical reference for students, scholars and the public to help them understand the major trends facing the global film industry in today’s world. Qiao Li is Associate Professor at Taylor’s University, Selangor, Malaysia, and Visiting Professor at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon- Sorbonne.

  • Recent Major Bridges in Korea Summary 1. Introduction
    Recent Major Bridges in Korea Hyun-Moo KOH Jinkyo F. CHOO Professor Assistant Professor Seoul National University Konkuk University Seoul, Korea Seoul, Korea [email protected] [email protected] Hyun-Moo Koh, born 1952, Jinkyo F. Choo, born 1968, received his BS and MS in civil received his civil engng. engng. from Seoul Nat’l Univ. degree from the Univ. Libre of and his Ph.D. from the Univ. of Bruxelles and his Ph.D. from Illinois at Urbana Champaign. Seoul National Univ. He is currently chair of the Korean Group of IABSE. Summary During a relatively short period, bridge technology in Korea has recognized outstanding development. Owing to the governmental policy aiming to achieve balanced regional development, unprecedented bridge construction activities are conducted in the peninsula, especially in the southwestern coast to link some of the 3,000 islands with the mainland. Korean bridge engineers are now designing and constructing bridges using domestic technology, which has today reached a level enabling to realize the erection of numerous sea-crossing bridges counting among the longest in the world like Incheon cable-stayed bridge (main span 800m) and Gwangyang suspension bridge (main span 1545m). This paper reviews the evolution of modern bridge construction in Korea and presents major bridges recently erected or to be built. R&D programs dedicated to the advancement of bridge technology are also introduced. Keywords: bridge technology; sea-crossing bridges; cable-supported bridges; R&D programs. 1. Introduction Despite of its short history of 40 years, the Korean bridge technology recognized outstanding development. The construction of bridges was at first involved as social infrastructure supporting the series of 5-year plans of the governmental policy since 1962 aiming to boost the economy of the country.

  • South Korea Emission Control Area To: All Overseas Clients The
    PATRIOT MARITIME COMPLIANCE, LLC 31 December 2019 PMC CLIENT ADVISORY 27-2019 Subject: South Korea Emission Control Area To: All Overseas Clients The Republic of Korea (South Korea) recently announced that there are several emission control programs going into effect that will supplement the IMO’s reduction of sulphur in fuel oil to five percent on 01 January 2020. This announcement was provided by the Eastern Shipping Company LTD in South Korea. Beginning: 17 December 2019 – Voluntary speed reduction zone in five major ports for certain ship types. 01 September 2020 – Mandatory use of 0.1% sulphur fuel while berthed or anchored at certain ports. 01 January 2022 – Mandatory use of 0.1% sulphur fuel while navigating the Korea Emission Control Area (Korea ECA). The switching of fuel oil to and from the 0.1% sulphur fuel will be logged in the engine logbook, and written procedures for the switching of fuel will be maintained on board. Speed Reduction Zones Participating ships will have their port entry/departure facility fees reduced. Beginning January 2020 only ships that slow-steam for no less than 60% of all annual port entries will be provided the discount. This will increase annually until the participation rate for annual entries is 90%. Eligible ship types vary from port to port, and not all ship types are included. The speed reduction zones in Busan Port, Ulsan Port, Yeosu Port, Gwangyang Port, and Incheon Port are 20 nautical miles in radius, measured from a specific lighthouse in each port. Ships that wish to slow-steam should sail no faster than the designated speed (12 knots for container ships and car- carriers, 10 knots for other designated ship types) when moving from the starting point to the end point within each area.

These data were compared with those obtained in previous studies(1990∼1991 and 1995 ∼1996) at our study sites. A total of 8,133 fish belonging to 74 species in 38 families were collected. Leiognathus nuchalis, Argyrosomus argentatus, Acentrogobius pellidebilis, Sillago japonica, Apogon lineatus, Thryssa hamiltoni, Repomucenus richardsonii, Pholis nebulosa, Pleuronichthys cornutus, Hexagrammos otakii, and Limanda yokohamae dominated, and these were responsible for 89.5 % and 58.9 % in the number of individuals and in biomass, respectively. These were primarily small species or early juveniles of larger species. Seasonal variation in both species composition and abundance was large: the peak number of fish species occurred in May and October 2009, whilst both number of individuals and biomass were the highest in May 2009. Fish numbers as well as biomass was lowest in January and February 2010. Seasonal changes in the abundance of fishes corresponded with temperature. Compared with the previous studies, the total number of individuals and biomass per unit area(m2) were higher, and the predominance of L.

  • Country Fact Sheet: ITALY
    Country fact sheet: ITALY #EUCreativeCities https://composite-indicators.jrc.ec.europa.eu/cultural-creative-cities-monitor The Cultural and Creative Cities Monitor is a new tool to benchmark the performance of European cities compared to their peers using both quantitative and qualitative data. It provides a common evidence base at city level that helps decision- makers learn from each other and inspires fit-for-purpose policies to boost economic growth and job creation, foster social development and citizens' well-being, and strengthen resilience. This year's first edition covers 168 cities in 30 countries, selected from about 1000 cities in Eurostat’s Urban Audit on the basis of their verifiable engagement in promoting culture and creativity. Being included in the Monitor is thus in itself an acknowledgement of the importance these cities attach to culture and creativity. The Monitor’s quantitative information is captured in 29 indicators. These are grouped into 9 dimensions reflecting 3 major facets of cities’ cultural, social and economic vitality: ‘Cultural Vibrancy’, ‘Creative Economy’ and ‘Enabling Environment’. In addition, qualitative evidence helps illustrate what cities are good at. Selected cities Eight European Capitals of Culture Winners: Bologna, Florence, Genoa and Matera - shortlisted: Cagliari, Lecce, Perugia and Ravenna Three UNESCO Creative Cities: Parma, Rome and Turin Six cities hosting at least two international cultural festivals: Brescia, Milan, Naples, Venice, Trento and Trieste Key findings Milan excels on 'Cultural Vibrancy' (3rd in the XXL group of 21 ranked cities), mostly thanks to its good performance on both Cultural Venues & Facilities (4th) and Cultural Participation & Attractiveness (2nd). Milan is home to a rich offer of cultural landmarks, as well as its continuously growing number of ‘urban’ festivals – such as Book City, and business gatherings – such as Fashion Week.
