Fund Performance Overview iSHARES® FTSE DEVELOPED SMALL CAP EX-NORTH AMERICA INDEX FUND Performance as of January 31, 2009 The iShares FTSE Developed Small Cap ex-North America Index Fund (the “Fund”) seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the FTSE Developed Small Cap ex-North America Index (the “Index”). The Index measures the stock performance of small-capitalization companies in developed countries outside of North America, as defined by FTSE International Limited. The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the six-month period ended January 31, 2009, the total return for the Fund was (44.33)%, while the total return for the Index was (43.88)%. Average Annual Total Returns Cumulative Total Returns Year Ended 1/31/09 Inception to 1/31/09 Inception to 1/31/09 NAV MARKET INDEX NAV MARKET INDEX NAV MARKET INDEX (47.21)% (48.20)% (46.41)% (47.77)% (48.22)% (47.16)% (54.78)% (55.26)% (54.14)% Total returns for the period since inception are calculated from the inception date of the Fund (11/12/07). “Average Annual Total Returns” represent the average annual change in value of an investment over the period(s) indicated. “Cumulative Total Returns” represent the total change in value of an investment over the period(s) indicated. The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception to the first day of secondary market trading in shares of the Fund (11/16/07), the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively. An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike the Fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by the Fund. These expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower. The returns shown in the table(s) above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares of the Fund will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares of the Fund may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. The Fund’s past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Without them this dissertation would never have been written. I knew almost nothing about video games before I started this and their patient explanations of things most obvious was greatly appreciated. I would also like to thank my advisor, Dr. Ruth Malone. In 2008, when I sat in my first graduate class, I was not sure if I even belonged. Dr. Malone encouraged me and helped me believe in myself as a person and as a scholar. She opened doors for me that I did not know even existed. Ruth has mentored me for the last eight years, and for this I am honored and grateful. I would also like to thank my dissertation committee, Dr. Ruth Malone (chair), Dr. Kit Chesla and Dr. Roberta Rehm. Their gentle and careful guidance has seen me safely through one of the most challenging journeys of my life. I would like to thank my qualifying exam committee, Dr. Christine Kennedy (chair), Dr. Ruth Malone, Dr. Roberta Rehm and Dr. Susan Kools. Through your expertise and direction this project was shaped into what it is today. I would also like to thank Dr. Lisa Bero and Dr. Donna Odierna. I joined their reasearch group for ten weeks and stayed five years.

  • GS1 Japan Handbook 2020-2021
    GS1 Japan Handbook 2020-2021 Message from the President Message from the President GS1 Japan was established in 1972 as a specialised institution for the rationalisation and standardisation of distribution systems, and has since worked to promote the introduction of various distribution standards and their application systems. Since we joined GS1 (then called EAN) in 1978, as the representative of Japan, we have been encouraging the use of GS1 standards such as GTIN. (Refer to 4.3) In addition to the standardisation activities above, GS1 Japan has also been providing various services, such as Ryutsu BMS (the Internet-based standard EDI massages for Japanese retailers and wholesalers, Refer to 2.6) and GJDB (GS1 Japan Data Bank, Refer to 2.2). GJDB was launched in October 2019 with the primary purpose of helping GS1 Company Prefix licensees (brand owners) in Japan to easily compose GTINs and manage their own product information. Number of parties have already started utilising this service. GJDB is a system that takes into account GS1’s global policies, such as its linkage to the GS1 Registry Platform. GS1 Japan will further enhance its services in response to the digitalisation of the distribution industry. We are also promoting the use of GS1 standards in the healthcare sector. GS1 Japan, healthcare industry and the government have been working together to ensure patient safety as well as supply chain efficiency, resulting in the source marking of GS1 standard barcodes on almost all prescription drugs and medical devices. Stimulating the standardised use of RFID tags through domestic business organisations is one of our major activities.

  • The Transformation and the Future Challenges of Content Distribution in Japan
    Keio Communication Review No. 32, 2010 The Transformation and the Future Challenges of Content Distribution in Japan by Tatsushiro SHUKUNAMI* Introduction Content business has been dramatically changing due to the diversification of consumer needs and technological innovations. This paper explores the possibility of future video distribution market, focusing on the distribution function of the digital network, with an example of the dramatic changes in the music industry. Transformation of the Music Distribution Changes in the music distribution has been taking place in various ways. The Development of computer technologies and the Internet forced the music industry to utilize digital network environment. Changes in the past several years include ample content stock, gradual shift to price competition, free from copy control, and illegal download. This paper will review how the music industry has adapted itself to such huge waves of environmental changes. 1.1 From the Packages Distribution to the Network Delivery As the Internet’s speed has become faster and it has spread widely, traditional disc media has become less preferable to consumers, because of higher price and less selection of goods. At first, most of the network transaction of music via PC was considered illegal. P2P software, such as Winny and WinMX, was popular for exchanging music content. The music industry was unwilling to give up the traditional, highly-priced CD selling model.
