hunters presents information on contemporary patterns of hunting and use of harbor seals and sea lions by Alaska Natives during the late 20th century. The interviews with Alaska Native hunters were conducted during the early-to-mid 1990s. The materials in this volume derive from those interviews. The interview materials offer information on a range of topics pertaining to harbor seals and sea lions, including contemporary hunting methods, uses made of seals and sea lions for food and raw materials, processing of oil and skins, and other

  • The Effects of Digital Music Distribution" (2012)
    Southern Illinois University Carbondale OpenSIUC Research Papers Graduate School Spring 4-5-2012 The ffecE ts of Digital Music Distribution Rama A. Dechsakda [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: http://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/gs_rp The er search paper was a study of how digital music distribution has affected the music industry by researching different views and aspects. I believe this topic was vital to research because it give us insight on were the music industry is headed in the future. Two main research questions proposed were; “How is digital music distribution affecting the music industry?” and “In what way does the piracy industry affect the digital music industry?” The methodology used for this research was performing case studies, researching prospective and retrospective data, and analyzing sales figures and graphs. Case studies were performed on one independent artist and two major artists whom changed the digital music industry in different ways. Another pair of case studies were performed on an independent label and a major label on how changes of the digital music industry effected their business model and how piracy effected those new business models as well. I analyzed sales figures and graphs of digital music sales and physical sales to show the differences in the formats. I researched prospective data on how consumers adjusted to the digital music advancements and how piracy industry has affected them. Last I concluded all the data found during this research to show that digital music distribution is growing and could possibly be the dominant format for obtaining music, and the battle with piracy will be an ongoing process that will be hard to end anytime soon.

  • Atti Rss 2010
    PREMESSA AGLI ATTI DELLO OTTAVO REGIONAL SEAPOWER SYMPOSIUM DI VENEZIA del Capo di Stato Maggiore della Marina Il Capo di Stato Maggiore della Marina Il Regional Seapower Symposium (RSS) di Venezia è l’evento che da ormai quattordici anni rappresenta uno dei principali strumenti utilizzati dalla Marina Militare per contribuire allo sviluppo della partnership internazionale e contribuire alla sicurezza marittima globale. Se è vero che il numero ed il livello dei partecipanti costituiscono un’indicazione attendibile dell’importanza di un evento, l’ottava edizione del RSS - che ha visto rappresentanti di 44 Marine che operano nel Mediterraneo Allargato e 20 Organizzazioni Internazionali e realtà militari e civili incontrarsi nella cornice lagunare – può senza dubbio essere definita un successo. Partendo dalla convinzione che il Dialogo e la Cooperazione conferiscano alla Maritime Security un valore aggiunto, rappresentandone un vero e proprio fattore abilitante, i lavori delle sessioni hanno analizzato, da differenti prospettive, il contributo di questo fondamentale binomio a concetti di grande attualità nello scenario marittimo internazionale: la Maritime Situational Awareness, le Maritime Security Operations e la Maritime Capacity Building. L’efficace combinazione di tali concetti consente di conseguire la Maritime Security in senso lato, fattore – quest’ultimo - che sta influenzando e condizionando l’organizzazione operativa delle Marine di tutto il mondo. Le discussioni, gli interventi e gli eventi collaterali di questo Simposio hanno evidenziato l’importanza di una partnership forte ed attiva - sul versante internazionale come su quello nazionale - per un’efficace risposta e contrasto alle sfide che l’attuale ambiente marittimo in continua evoluzione ci pone: la pirateria, il terrorismo e tutte le altre attività illecite che trovano in mare il proprio spazio di manovra rappresentano gli esempi più attuali.

  • Organochlorine Contaminants in the Country Food Diet of the Belcher Island Inuit, Northwest Territories, Canada
    ARCTIC VOL. 46, NO. 1 (MARCH 1993) P. 42-48 0.rganochlorine Contaminants in the Country Food Diet of the Belcher Island Inuit, Northwest Territories, Canada MARJORIE CAMERON1s2 and I. MICHAEL WEIS1*3 (Received 19 August 1991; accepted in revised form 17 September 1992) ABSTRACT. An initial assessment ofthe country food diet at the Belcher Islands’ community of Sanikiluaq, NorthwestTerritories, was made by interviewing 16 families during May - July 1989. Estimates of consumptionper day were established over a two-week periodfor 10 of these families. This information was utilized along with previously published harvest datafor the community to estimate country food consumption ingramdday and kg/year. Beluga (Delphinapterusleucus), ringed seal (Phocu hispida), arctic cham (Sulvelinus alpinus), common eider (Somatenu mollissima) and Canada goose(Bruntu canudemis) were found to be important components in thediet during this period. Results of analysisfor organochlorine contaminants revealthat ringed seal fat and beluga muktuk (skin and layer) fat samples havethe highest concentrationof DDE and total PCBs among the country food species. Average DDE and total PCB valueswere 1504.6 pglkg and 1283.4 pgkg respectively in ringedseal fat and 184.3 pgkg and 144.7 pglkg respectively in beluga muktuk. Comparison of contaminants in seal fat indicates concentrations approximately two times higher in samples from the Belcher Islandsthan from sites in the Canadian WesternArctic, but lower than concentrations reported from various European sites. The daily consumption estimates ingramdday were used along withorganic contaminant analysisdata to calculate the estimated intakelevels of 0.22 pg/kg body weight/day of total DDT and 0.15 pg/kg body weighthay of total PCBs during the study period.
