  • Australia Catch Reconstruction
    A scientific summary from The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Sea Around Us Project Shutterstock Australia Catch Reconstruction Overview Australia has generally robust fisheries management, but it does not account for all the fish and shellfish taken from its waters. A process known as “catch reconstruction” helps to fill these gaps by collecting information on catch from a variety of sources, including academic PACIFIC OCEAN literature, industrial fishing statistics, local expert interviews, and other accounts and records. This fact sheet presents estimates (Kleisner et al., 2015) of total catches from 1950 to 2010, including recreational and INDIAN traditional (i.e., fishing by local indigenous communities) catch, which OCEAN has been neglected in official accounting. Total catches appear relatively sustainable given the size of Australia’s ocean area, and discards have declined. Shutterstock Tuna at the port in Cairns, Australia. Most countries focus their data collection on industrial fishing, in part because small-scale operations can be difficult to track. Australian Catch Have Been Underreported for More Than 60 Years Reported versus reconstructed catch, 1950–2010 500,000 400,000 300,000 Total reconstructed catch: 14,900,000 t 200,000 8,600,000 t 100,000 0 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 Reconstructed Catch by Category, in Tonnes, 1950–2010 5.5 million t 4.0 million t 3.1 million t Industrial Discards Artisanal Recreational Traditional 2.2 million t 98,000 t Source: The Sea Around Us project © 2015 The Pew Charitable Trusts Reconstructed Catch by Category, in Thousands of Tonnes, 1950–2010 Type of fishing Catch Data sources Researchers extracted industrial catch from official data on commercial fishing based on gear types commonly used in large-scale fisheries (e.g., trawling, Industrial 5,500 dredging, and large-scale trap and long line).

  • Abstract Jordan III, Augustus W. B.S. Florida A&M University, 1994 A
    Abstract Jordan III, Augustus W. B.S. Florida A&M University, 1994 A Study of Language and Ideology in Rap Music Advisor: Dr. O. Osinubi Dissertation Dated June 5,1998 This study examined the language of Hip-Hop songs and ideology of the artists as reflected through their songs. The study was based on the theory that Hip-Hop or rap songs are legitimate artforms because of their use of poetic elements such as figuration, figures of sound, symbolism, and ambiguity. The study recorded and interpreted the lyrics of a few current rap songs for the purpose of investigating their poetical and ideological elements. The researcher found signification battles by some rap artists as the best examples of songs which express the richness and complexity of Hip-Hop music. The researcher found that both Hip-Hop music lyrics and standard poetry have many similarities, but also have a few different features which enhance their uniqueness. The conclusions drawn from the findings suggest that the main reason many critics do not consider Hip-Hop or rap music an artform, is that they either compare the music to something extremely different, or they simply do not take the time to listen to its songs. Rap Music is an artform that expresses poetic elements and utilizes electronic devices, thus making it a Postmodernist popular artform. Through the research, the researcher showed that rap music lyrics also have intense meaning, just like poetry. 2 A STUDY OF LANGUAGE AND IDEOLOGY IN RAP MUSIC A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN AFRICAN AND AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDIES BY AUGUSTUS JORDAN III SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES ATLANTA,GA JULY 1998 R -111 P-Jfl © 1998 AUGUSTUS W.
