    Navigating the Atlantic World: Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial Networks, 1650-1791 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Jamie LeAnne Goodall, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Newell, Advisor John Brooke David Staley Copyright by Jamie LeAnne Goodall 2016 Abstract This dissertation seeks to move pirates and their economic relationships from the social and legal margins of the Atlantic world to the center of it and integrate them into the broader history of early modern colonization and commerce. In doing so, I examine piracy and illicit activities such as smuggling and shipwrecking through a new lens. They act as a form of economic engagement that could not only be used by empires and colonies as tools of competitive international trade, but also as activities that served to fuel the developing Caribbean-Atlantic economy, in many ways allowing the plantation economy of several Caribbean-Atlantic islands to flourish. Ultimately, in places like Jamaica and Barbados, the success of the plantation economy would eventually displace the opportunistic market of piracy and related activities. Plantations rarely eradicated these economies of opportunity, though, as these islands still served as important commercial hubs: ports loaded, unloaded, and repaired ships, taverns attracted a variety of visitors, and shipwrecking became a regulated form of employment. In places like Tortuga and the Bahamas where agricultural production was not as successful, illicit activities managed to maintain a foothold much longer.

  • Theoretical Perspectives on Learning for Prevention of Fishing Vessel Accidents
    CJSAE/RCEEA 14,2 (November/novembre 2000) 49 THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES ON LEARNING FOR PREVENTION OF FISHING VESSEL ACCIDENTS Roger Boshier1 University of British Columbia Abstract Fishing vessels come to grief partly because theory pertaining to accidents and their prevention is unduly Functionalist and obsessed with technical matters (involving equipment). The author applies to fishing accidents a social cartography that emphasizes the importance of power relations and ontology. Four paradigms—functionalism, humanism, radical humanism and radical functionalism—are used to raise issues pertaining to accidents and their prevention. The utility of the cartography is demonstrated by revisiting accident reports concerning Scotia Cape, a large Canadian vessel that disappeared with the loss of seven lives. At the centre of this analysis is the need to broaden prevention programs so as to have adequate regard to human factors and the political economy of the fishing industry. Resume L'auteur soutient que les bateaux de peche sont impliques dans des accidents, partiellement parce que la theorie au sujet des accidents et de leur prevention est excessivement fonctionnaliste et met I 'accent sur les aspects techniques, comme I'equipement. II applique aux accidents de peche une «cartographie sociale» qui insiste sur I'importance des relations de pouvoir et de I'ontologie. Quatre paradigmes; le fonctionnalisme, I'humanise, I'humanisme radical et le fonctionnalisme radical sont utilises afin d'analyser le probleme des accidents de bateaux et leur prevention. L'utilite de la cartographic proposee est demontree en reexaminant les rapports d'accidents de Scotia Cape, un grand navire canadien qui a disparu avec sept personnes a bord.

This project introduces the system to help people who are undertrouble in case of snow slide.Our system includes global positioning system(GPS) to track the location of the person which is interfaced with arduino controller. In addition to it temperature sensor and heartbeat sensor is used. They are used to sense the temperature of the locationand sense the heartbeat rate of the person respectively. To view these details we are using android app which shows the location of the person in trouble, temperature of the location and heartbeat rate. The details is viewed via LCD display and to identify the distance from us to troubled person we are using beacon device.

  • Confiscating Laundered Money and Criminal Assets: Every Year, The
    confiscating laundered money and criminal assets: every year, the authorities seize tens of millions of euros and luxury goods such as boats and cars from criminals; creating more capacity for financial investigations by the Fiscal Information and Investigation Service-Economic Investigation Service (FIOD-ECD); paying more attention to financial investigations in basic police training. Conclusion The fight against crime aims to prevent the impact on social values. This preventive approach must be based on the principle of legality and should be carried out on the basis of pre-established procedures. At present, criminality has a diverse typology that implies not only a permanent adaptation and diversification of procedures, but also a rigorous definition that must reflect as accurately as possible the hypothesis, disposition and sanction for each type of crime. From a criminological perspective, a series of concepts such as high crime, organized crime, terrorism, drug trafficking, or trafficking in human beings can easily highlight defective definitions. However, there are a number of concepts and philosophies surrounding these types of crime.And Government with Police can find a way to further develop the fight against crime.

  • The Scrapping of Vessels
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Göteborgs universitets publikationer - e-publicering och e-arkiv The Scrapping of Vessels – An examination of the waste movement regime’s applicability to vessels destined for scrapping and potential improvements made in the IMO Draft Convention on Ship Recycling Master’s Thesis for the Master of Law Programme (Tillämpade Studier, 30 hp) Department of Law School of Business, Economics and Law University of Gothenburg Spring 2008 Author: Oskar Sundelin Supervisor: Prof. Svante O. Johansson Abstract___________________________________________ The scrapping of ocean-going vessels is currently done mainly in a few states in Asia. Because of the hazardous materials contained in the ships, the scrapping poses a significant danger to both the workers in the shipbreaking yards as well as to the environment. The international community has been aware of the problems related with shipbreaking for over a decade, and has in different ways tried to improve the practices. Moreover, attention has turned to the regime governing the movement of waste, as it has been argued that a vessel destined for scrapping should be defined as waste under the regime. The waste movement regime contains provisions that control and restrict the transboundary movement of waste. Applying the regime could thus hinder vessels containing hazardous materials from being scrapped in Asia. This thesis examines how the shipbreaking industry functions, what considerations are made before selling a ship for scrapping, and where and how the scrapping is done. Furthermore, the study provides and overview of actions taken so far by different stakeholders that are trying to solve the problems connected with shipbreaking.
