The present status of fixed lift net fishing in Banten Bay Indonesia

Banten Bay is the main fishing ground for small scale fishing activity in Banten Province. The fishers use several fishing gears, such as gillnet, trap, hook and line, danish seine, and lift net. However, a lift net fishery has a significant contribution to fish production in Archipelagic Fishing Port of Karangantu, Serang City. The purpose of this study is to analyze the status of fixed lift net fishing in Banten Bay. The research was conducted on Mei to July 2019 through survey and field observation. There are more than 150 units of fixed lift net operated in Banten Bay, that have landing place in Karangantu and Panjang Island. The rectangle lift nets (10Wx10L m2) are fixed at six to ten-meter depth. The fishers used four to six pressure kerosene lamps as a light source before 2010. However, since 2010 the fishers changed the lamp to the electrical light source due to high price, and limited availability of kerosene. In peak season, the lift nets have high productivity (500-1000 kg/trip). The productivity was decreased in the low season (< 100 kg/trip). The main target species in fixed lift net fishing are anchovies and squids with a potential margin more than IDR 60 million per year.

Fisheries in Merauke: linking fishermen to markets

The Indonesian Minister of Marine and Fisheries Regulations has given a prospect for domestic fishing vessels and Merauke as the stay over fishing port. This study found that in Merauke the capacity of cold storage was only 2,250 tons; the shortage of ice supply for fishing remains occurred; most of the fishing fleets were not equipped with freezer and; the fish-processing unit did not exist. As a consequence, 13.42% - 51.5% of fishes were thrown away to the sea after taking the swim bladder of fish (fish maw). Data and information on fisheries were collected from 23 April 2019 to 3 May 2019 in Merauke. The supply chain approach was used for policy intervention to improve the fishing business. The objective of this study was to analyze the phenomenon of fishery business in Merauke. The main conclusion of the analysis show, Merauke become a landing place for fish maw’s fishing fleets from the Arafura Sea. This study recommended that there must be an investor to organize a 100 tons ice factory as a supplier for fishing vessels. Merauke might be promoted as the center for pet food industries by using discarded fish to fill domestic market demand. Promote local traders to follow domestic and international fish trade exhibition to prepare Merauke as the business center of fish maw.

Climate variability impact on Bali sardine fishery: Ecology and fisheries perspective

AbstractThe sardine fishery in Bali is influenced by fishing effort and environmental conditions including temperature and chlorophyll a (chl‐a). Bali's sardine, Sardinella lemuru Bleeker, production decreased significantly during the extreme conditions that occurred in 2010 and 2016. This study assesses the impact of extreme conditions on the sardine fishery of the Bali Strait. Fisheries data were collected from two landing places: Muncar fishing port (Banyuwangi District, East Java Province) and Pengambengan fishing port (Jembrana District, Bali Province) between January 2007 and December 2017. Temperature and chl‐a data were downloaded from satellite readings. Fishing locations were observed by an onboard observer to investigate shifts in fishing grounds. A modified Cobb–Douglas regression model and profile analyses were used to estimate the impact of environmental variables on sardine production and to assess how extreme periods affect the catch composition in the Bali Strait. Seawater temperature and chl‐a concentration had significant impacts on sardine production, but temperature is likely to be less correlated with sardine production than chl‐a concentration. To adapt to extreme weather, purse seiners prefer to modify the vessel type rather than change their fishing ground.

Традиционно-обрядовая культура этнических групп современного Приднестровья

&lt;p&gt;В статье рассматриваются предпосылки формирования традиционно-обрядовой культуры Приднестровья с учетом историко-культурных событий, происходящих на этой территории. Изучается, каким образом сформировались магистральные культуры, как проходили и к чему привели процессы взаимной ассимиляции этнических культур. Рассматривается традиционно-обрядовая культура как культурно-генетический код общества и меры государственной поддержки, влияющие на формирование этнокультурной ситуации в регионе.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Автором рассматриваются трансформационные процессы таких народных праздников, как «Плугушор», «Папаруда» и «Трифон Зарезан», которые приобрели сценический характер, в связи с чем изменилась их структура, а зачастую и сакральный смысл. Обрядовые действия сохранились в основном в сельской местности, подпитывая городской фольклоризм. Немаловажная роль в деле сохранения традиционно-обрядовой культуры этнических групп современного Приднестровья принадлежит коллективам художественной самодеятельности.&lt;/p&gt;Происходящее смешение традиций и обрядов различных этнических групп, проживающих на территории Приднестровья, свидетельствует о значительных ассимиляционных процессах, происходящих в этой трансграничной полосе.

The lives of women in a land reclamation project: Gender, class, culture and place in Egyptian land and water management

This article links feminist political ecology with the academic debate about commoning by focusing on the gendered distribution of common pool resources, in particular land and water. The research is set in the context of a coastal land reclamation project in Egypt’s Nile Delta, in a region where conflicts over resources such as arable land and fresh water are intensifying. Drawing on recent literature on commoning, we analyse the conditions under which different groups of resource users are constrained or enabled to act together. The article presents three case studies of women who represent different groups using land and water resources along the same irrigation canal. Through the concepts of intersectionality, performativity, and gendered subjectivity, this article explores how these women negotiate access to land and water resources to sustain viable livelihoods. The case studies unpack how the intersection of gender, class, culture, and place produces gendered subject positions in everyday resource access, and how this intersectionality either facilitates or constrains commoning. We argue that commoning practices are culturally and spatially specific and shaped by pre-existing resource access. Such access is often unequally structured along categories of class and gender in land reclamation and irrigation projects.

The 25 Years of Experience Since Inauguration of All-Russian Center for Disaster Medicine “Zaschia” (Protection)

Introduction:Main functions of the Russian Federation in disasters and emergencies are loaded on All-Russian Center for Disaster Medicine of Ministry Health (ARCDM). The principal strategies of the staff are to play leading roles in preparedness, emergency response, evacuation, recovery of health systems, and education.Methods:Our presentation includes selection, classification, analysis, and statistics. There about 80 territorial Disaster Medicine Centers working under the leadership of ARCDM. One experience from the Moscow Territory Disaster Medicine Center will be presented.Results:At the operational and informational department, there are nine special medical emergency teams (three with helicopters). Time of arrival takes between seven and ten minutes, and transport to the hospital takes about five to seven minutes with 33 landing places for helicopters. The operational and control department uses an early warning system. About 1,300 exercises were organized in these centers and hospitals. We will discuss the examples of medical care delivery to the injured in metro Slaviynskie, Basar park Pobedi, Narofominskay, two major fires, and hurricanes. The mobile field hospital worked in more than 12 countries and in many territories in the Russian Federation over 25 years.Discussion:The last year was very difficult due to the Football World Cup, working hard as a collaborating center in emergencies, and working in the framework of a memorandum with China. Preparedness for an international event next May, which includes a field drill with participants from emergency medical teams of Health Ministries of CIS Countries and from State Health of China. We invite others to observe or join this event. Thus, we have some difficulties and problems, but we must increase solidarity and collaboration due to the scale, frequency, and number of losses in emergencies and disasters. Humanity could be able to cope with emergencies if we take into account these issues.

Dynamic beach response to changing storminess of Unst, Shetland: implications for landing places exploited by Norse communities

We present major new findings on the stability of Norse landing places on the island of Unst, Shetland, using a combination of geomorphology, OSL dating, fetch analysis, and sediment transport modeling. Islanders needed reliable access to the sea, and exploited sandy beaches as safe landing places. The persistence of beaches was important for long-term continuity of settlement and could be threatened by stormy conditions. Sediment modeling undertaken on two embayments on Unst, Lunda Wick, and Sandwick, reveals major differences in the ability of sandy beaches to reform in these embayments after the onset of persistent stormy conditions; sandy beaches can endure under these conditions at Sandwick, but not at Lunda Wick. OSL dating of blown sands at Lunda Wick reveals a history of sand blow events pointing to large-scale depletion of beach material throughout the Little Ice Age (beginning circa 1250 CE). This correlates with known sand blows at Sandwick, but here the beach could be replenished from the nearshore environment, something that was more problematic at Lunda Wick. These findings agree with the emerging picture of increased environment pressure from blown sands on communities throughout the North Atlantic, and identifies different models of related beach persistence and change.

SOME POPULATION PARAMETERS AND EXPLOITATION STATUS OF FOURFINGER THREADFIN (Eleutheronema tetradactylum Shaw, 1804) IN TARAKAN WATERS, NORTH KALIMANTAN

Information on exploitation status of fourfinger threadfin (Eleutheronema tetradactylum Shaw, 1804) is important for sustainable gillnet fisheries management in Tarakan, North Kalimantan waters. In an attempt of providing scientific data and information on the exploitation status of this species, a research work was conducted from January to November 2016 in Selumit landing place. Fish sampling was done by trained enumerator on bottom gillnet catches landed through semi-regular observation. A total of 1964 specimens were collected and measured. The results showed that the size ranged between 16-70 cmFL with an average of 37.72 ± 0.36 cmFL. The length at first captured (Lc) of about 38.5 cmFL, was smaller than the length at first mature of female (Lm) of 39.6 cmFL. The growth pattern was negative allometry. By applying von Bertalanffy growth model, it was found that growth model for this species was L(t)=75,8(1-e0,3(t+0,035)). Exploitation rate (E) was 0,47. It showed that the exploitation status of fourfinger threadfin in Tarakan Waters was still sustainable.

EU Merger Control and Harm to Innovation—A Long Walk to Freedom (from the Chains of Causation)

In a string of recent merger decisions, culminating in the Dow/DuPont case, the European Commission has profoundly revisited its traditional analysis of innovation and, ultimately, introduced what some authors have labeled “a novel theory of harm in EU merger policy.” According to this theory, the Commission does not look at harm to innovation on a specific product market in which parties are developing similar pipeline products, but adopts a general assessment of harm to innovation, unrelated to a specific product market and without considering potential anticompetitive effects on this basis. The purpose of this article is to show that over the last few years, the European Commission has been progressively departing from a “traditional” theory of harm in its assessment of mergers affecting innovation. In particular, we argue that the novel theory of harm developed in Dow/DuPont, based on a generic prejudice to innovation, is the landing place of a long journey through which the Commission has progressively altered the analytical framework applicable to traditional cases affecting pipeline products/potential competitors. And while this stance may be inspired by a legitimate policy goal, it brings the Commission on a collision route with the principles of causation and symmetry governing European Union merger control analysis.

Plotting the Black Commons

This article examines Black communities’ engagement with practices of place and alternative figurations of land and water in the antebellum and post-emancipation periods around the lower–Chesapeake Bay. It historicizes the work of enslaved, free, and emancipated communities to create a distinctive and often furtive social architecture rivaling, threatening, and challenging the infrastructures of abstraction, commodification, and social control developed by white elites before and after the formal abolition of slavery. Practices centered in the various iterations of the plot—the site of the body's interment, the garden parcel, and hidden insurrectionary activity—fostered a vision of de-commodified water and landscapes as well as resources. Evolving in dialectic with mastery and dominion—or biblically justified total control—enslaved and post-emancipation communities claimed and created a set of communal resources within the interstices of plantation ecologies, constituting the Black commons.

Roman Anglesey: Recent Discoveries

ABSTRACTA series of projects by Gwynedd Archaeological Trust has identified two significant sites on the island of Anglesey. The first is a trading settlement on the shore of the Menai Strait which provides evidence for a hitherto unknown level of Romanisation in the remote west of the province. The second is a late first- to early second-century fortlet on the northern coast of the island that probably functioned as both a navigational aid and a point of strength at a landing place. The presence of a fourth-century watchtower on Carmel Head was also confirmed by excavation and its role in the late Roman coastal defence system is considered.

Numerical modelling of the Luna-Glob lander electric charging on the lunar surface with SPIS-DUST

One of the complicating factors of the future robotic and human lunar landing missions is the influence of the dust. The upper insulating regolith layer is electrically charged by the solar ultraviolet radiation and the flow of solar wind particles. Resulted electric charge and thus surface potential depend on the lunar local time, latitude and the electrical properties of the regolith.Understanding of mechanisms of the dust electric charging, dust levitation and electric charging of a lander on the lunar surface is essential for interpretation of measurements of the instruments of the Luna-Glob lander payload, e.g. the Dust Impact sensor and the Langmuir Probe.One of the tools, which allows simulating the electric charging of the regolith and lander and also the transport and deposition of the dust particles on the lander surface, is the recently developed Spacecraft Plasma Interaction Software toolkit, called the SPIS-DUST.This paper describes the SPIS-DUST numerical simulation of the interaction between the solar wind plasma, ultraviolet radiation, regolith and a lander and presents as result qualitative and quantitative data of charging the surfaces, plasma sheath and its influence on spacecraft sensors, dust dynamics. The model takes into account the geometry of the Luna-Glob lander, the electric properties of materials used on the lander surface, as well as Luna-Glob landing place. Initial conditions are chosen using current theoretical models of formation of dusty plasma exosphere and levitating charged dust particles.Simulation for the three cases (local lunar noon, evening and sunset) showed us the surrounding plasma sheath around the spacecraft which gives a significant potential bias in the spacecraft vicinity. This bias influences on the spacecraft sensors but with SPIS software we can estimate the potential of uninfluenced plasma with the data from the plasma sensors (Langmuir probes). SPIS-DUST modification allows us to get the dust dynamics properties. For our three cases we've obtained the dust densities around the spacecraft and near the surface of the Moon. As another practical result of this work we can count a suggestion of improving of dusty plasma instrument for the next mission: it must be valuable to relocate the plasma sensors to a distant boom at some distance from the spacecraft.

Dressmakers and Seamstresses in Toronto, 1834–1861

The young colonial city of Toronto was a landing place for many newcomers to Canada, and was a city of opportunity. The steady growth in population between 1834 and 1861 afforded women employment outside of the home, notably in the needle-trades (i.e. the roles involved in the manufacture of clothing). This article argues that the needle-trades were a significant source of employment for women in pre-industrial period Toronto and explores the social and professional distinctions between ‘dressmakers’ and ‘seamstresses’, by enumerating and aggregating women from the City Directories and 1861 census. Several biographical case studies are included to demonstrate the variety of women employed in the needle-trades, based on information from the primary source data.

Land Use and Land Cover Change Detection Using Geospatial Technology

Land use and land cover has a leading role in the part of urbanization. As the rapid urbanization led to various activities in a region and these changes generally takes place in the agricultural land. The satellite imageries LANDSAT TM (1990 and 2010) data are used. The scales are 1: 50, 000. From 1990 to 2010 covering a period of 20 years, the aerial distribution of the land use and land cover changes has been observed. The changes were identified, in which the decrease of Agricultural land, open Scrub and Water bodies and increase of Built-up land, Fallow land and current Fallow land. The land use and land cover maps are prepared by using GIS software to evaluate the changes and it showed strong variation. Image pre-processing and supervised technique analysis will be performed to classify the images into different land use categories. Thus, the information of urban growth, land use and land cover change are very useful to local government, urban and town planners, in order to have a planned city with reduction of congestion, pollution and to achieve a sustainable development of the city.

Ernst Walter Zeeden (1916–2011) als Historiker der Reformation, Konfessionsbildung und "deutschen Kultur." Relektüren eines geschichtswissenschaftlichen Vordenkers ed. by Markus Gerstmeier and Anton Schindling

Relektüren eines geschichtswissenschaftlichen Vordenkers ed. by Markus Gerstmeier and Anton Schindling Robert Kolb Ernst Walter Zeeden (1916–2011) als Historiker der Reformation, Konfessionsbildung und "deutschen Kultur." Relektüren eines geschichtswissenschaftlichen Vordenkers. Edited by Markus Gerstmeier and Anton Schindling. Katholisches Leben und Kirchenreform im Zeitalter der Glaubensspaltung 76. Münster: Aschendorff, 2016. 250 pp. Ernst Walter Zeeden converted from his "bourgeois Cultural Protestantism" to the Roman Catholic Church as a university student during the Third Reich. This may have stimulated his interest as a professor of secular history at the University of Tübingen in the development of the Konfessionen, the institutional groupings of Christians that arose in the sixteenth century that have borne the label "confessions" since the nineteenth century even though confessional documents played different roles within the Lutheran, Reformed, and Roman Catholic Konfessionen in Germany. Zeeden pioneered the comparison of the cultures of these groups in their German context under the banner of Konfessionsbildung, the construction of the three churches within German-speaking lands. His approach has proved to have staying power as the attempt to study the process of the development of these cultural constellations within German society labeled "confessionalization" arose under the leadership of Heinz Schilling and Wolfgang Reinhard, underwent the revisionary process that such paradigmatic theories always experience, and now seems to fade. Zeeden was remarkable not only because of his acuity as a scholar but also because of his humane and generous way of fulfilling his task as university professor. Both aspects of his impact and influence are reflected in this collection of essays by those who studied with him and who have carried on his approach to charting early modern history in central Europe. The volume is a record of a conference honoring Zeeden at the University of Tübingen in 2014, including the introductory address at the conference by Wilhelm Borth. One group of essays appraises Zeeden's own research on the personalities of the period, noting his great respect for them, particularly Luther, and his development of new methods and procedures of researching and writing cultural history. Richard J. Ninness's essay on "the past [End Page 229] and future interpretations of the formation of confessions in North America," the only English language essay in the volume, offers a valuable assessment of Zeeden's all-too-meager influence in North American scholarship and a critical evaluation of the "confessionalization" model. Unfortunately, as is true in other essays, research into the actual confessional documents of the Lutheran and Reformed traditions and into the role of piety in the "confessional" culture is hardly noted here. The volume includes a gathering of recollections of Zeeden as academic friend and advisor as well as lecturer; a review of his role alongside Heiko Oberman in Tübingen's research institution for the Late Middle Ages and Reformation; and seven photographs from key stations of Zeeden's life. A bibliography of his published works completes the volume and is in itself a valuable tool for further research. These reflections of Zeeden's lively personality and of his meticulous scholarship not only present the historical record of an important aspect of the development of modern Reformation scholarship. They also aid readers in appreciating the current debates and the future possibilities of research in the ongoing attempts to interpret the critical developments in Western life and thought that took place in the German-speaking lands in the sixteenth century.

Statio publici portorii in Novae (Niedermoesien) und eine neue Statuenbasis aus dem Stabsgebäude der 1. Italischen Legion

The present paper is a publication of a new portorium inscription found in one of the late Roman loess pits in the courtyard of the principia (headquarters building) of the legio I Italica and testifying to the existence of the station of the great Illyrian customs district at Novae. The stone bears a dedication to Numen Augusti and Genius portorii and was set up by two servi vilici from the station staff on behalf of G. Iulius Eutyches, the conductor of the Illyrian customs district. The author of the paper dates the stone to AD 169-175 and tries to localise the station near the eastern gate of the legionary fortress. The critical context of the publication includes the findspot of the inscription, topography of the area situated directly to the east of the fortress, location of the Roman landing place and finally also the scene XXXV of the Trajan’s column representing a fortress on the Danube bank which can be identified with Novae.
