Perlindungan Harimau Sumatera Menurut Convention On International Trade In Endangered Species Of Wild Fauna And Flora (Cites) 1963

Introduction: The illegal trade in protected animals is increasing in places where laws are not respected, as if they weren't there. This is reflected in the decrease in the number of wildlife and the increase in the number of legal and illegal wildlife traders whose criminals do not face severe sanctions. The number of Sumatran tigers is decreasing, reaching around 400 individuals. In various parts of Sumatra, these endangered and protected animals continue to be hunted and traded for their organs. Apparently, in the near future, they succeeded in capturing or blocking the Medan tiger skin trade.Purposes of the Research: This writing aims to know and understand the Regulations regarding the protection of endangered species based on the 1963 Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and the Implementation of CITES 1963 in Indonesia to protect the Sumatran Tiger.Methods of the Research: Normative research method with the type of research is qualitative analysis. The problem approach used is the statute approach, the conceptual approach and the case approach. The sources of legal materials used are Primary legal materials, Secondary legal materials, and Tertiary legal materials and are used as a technique for collecting legal materials, then processing and analyzing legal materials through methods of interpretation, harmonization, systematic and legal discovery.Results of the Research: The results of the study show that the arrangements regarding the protection of endangered species based on the 1963 Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) are that as a whole, CITES is a convention that applies as a general guide to regulate matters relating to trade of all kinds. Wild plants and animals that live in nature. Specifically regarding the protection of Sumatran tigers as implementation of CITES 1963 is the enactment of Presidential Decree No. 43 of 1978 concerning Ratifying the Convention On International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, Law No. 5 of 1990 concerning Conservation of Natural Resources, Biology and Their Ecosystems, Regulations Government Number 8 of 1999 Utilization of Wild Plants and Animals, Minister of Forestry Regulation Number P.42/Menhut-II/2007 concerning Sumatran Tiger Conservation Plans and Actions.

ТАНЕЦ В ОПЕРАХ М.М. ИППОЛИТОВА-ИВАНОВА: ТЕКСТ И ЕГО ИНТЕРПРЕТАЦИЯ

The phenomenon of the "lifeworld" (E. Husserl) in its national branches and cultural realities is revealed in the operas of M. M. Ippolitov-Ivanov largely due to the extended mass scenes. A special place here is occupied by dance episodes and scenes in which characteristic elements of different folk traditions, both those previously experienced in Russian music (oriental, Spanish themes) and those introduced by Ippolitov-Ivanov in accordance with the conditions of plot realities (Norwegian theme), are presented in a sharp and expressive way. It has always been important for the composer to emphasize in operas the authentic, the present, which has a timeless value, focusing on the forms of musical folklore. Folk dances, which are represented in many mass scenes of the composer's operas, provided him such an opportunity, as did extended ballet scenes (for example, in the opera "The Last Barricade"). With an obvious aspiration to the ballet genre, the score of "Nestan Darejan" based on Shota Rustaveli's poem "The Knight in the Tiger Skin" was created: the composer called this composition a ballet, then an opera-ballet. The archive of Ippolitov-Ivanov holds the libretto of the ballet "The Scythians", which could probably have interested the composer because of his special attitude to the ballet genre. There are dance scenes in all of the composer's operas, including "Ruth", based on a Biblical plot. There are also dance scenes in the libretti of operas he conceived, but did not realize ("Chrysanthemum", "Miriam", "The Dressmaker"). Dance scenes emphasize the national flavor, create the realities of everyday scenes ("Azra", "Treason"), enhance the contrast between the external and deeply psychological internal action ("Ole from Nordland"), characterize the characters and determine the main figurative and semantic "tonality" of the work ("Asya"). Thanks to the dance, "windows" are opened into another world of culture and folklore traditions, an interest in which the composer has preserved throughout his life.

Symbols and Fiction of "Knight in the Tiger's Skin"

Each author has its unique and individual approach how to emphasize ideas. Each of them very interesting but system of emphasizing ideas become more attractive when we are talking about Georgian classical poem “Knight in the Tiger’s Skin’ and its author. In our work we focus on some examples from the poem in comparison with Georgian languages. Some parallels given in the work are facts about the reality that language is the treasure of the nation and it makes the system of thoughts which cannot be destroyed not by any theory and even not by political and historical processes. &nbsp

The Tiger Skin on the Bannister (and Other Stories): Internal Dialogues and Parallel Autobiographical Process in a Reading of Wilfred Bion’s The Long Weekend, 1897–1919: Part of a Life

ABSTRACT This essay presents excerpts from a reading of the section ‘England’ in Wilfred Bion’s autobiography The Long Weekend, 1897–1919: Part of a Life. Findings are now presented alongside a series of the reader’s own memories that were evoked, at varied speeds, both during and after the reading process. Drawing on the fields of infant observation and child psychoanalytic psychotherapy, the essay demonstrates how exercising an observational stance to the reader's own subjective material and subsequent, reflexive internal dialogues contributed to penetrating layers of meaning of the book. Furthermore, it aims to show how a reading of an autobiography unexpectedly enabled a powerful, parallel creative process within the reader.

Effects of legalization and wildlife farming on conservation

Many wildlife species are impacted by unsustainable consumption. Wildlife is consumed for such diverse purposes as food, medicine, ornamentation, entertainment, and social status. However, it is still debated whether legalization and wildlife farming can saturate demand and thus reduce poaching, or if these policies increase demand, and subsequently poaching of vulnerable wildlife. This paper used an experimental vignette survey in Mainland China (N = 1002) to explore empirically how legalization, wildlife farming, and possible changes in consumptive acceptability affect demand for wildlife products. Each respondent read a vignette about the consumption of a wildlife product from one of four species (bears, tigers, snakes, or turtles), for one of two uses (medicinal or non-medicinal), in one of three legal situations (product is illegal, product is legal and from farmed animal, or product is legal and from wild animal). All respondents were asked about the acceptability of wildlife consumption, the social stigma around consumption, and the perceived legal consequences of consumption for eight products: bear bile, bear paws, tiger bone, tiger skin, snake bile, snake leather, turtle shells, and turtle meat. Data was analyzed using linear regression models that included interaction effects and controlled for age, gender, education, income, and attitudes towards specific species, towards wildlife consumption, and towards Traditional Chinese Medicine. Wildlife product bans decreased the acceptability and social approval of wildlife consumption and increased estimations of legal punishments. The type of ban that produced these effects depended upon the wildlife product and the measurement of wildlife consumption. The effects of wildlife farming on demand for wildlife products were particularly prominent for mammals. Bear farming increased the acceptability and perceived social approval of bear bile; it also decreased perceived legal sanctions for bear consumption. Tiger farming diminished perceived legal sanctions for tiger consumption and farming tigers for medicinal use increased the acceptability of tiger consumption. Overall, these results indicate that bans on wildlife consumption and decreased wildlife farming of mammals can have conservation benefits.

Beyond Beasts: Some Cases of Native American AniManism

We all are animals and animals (are) us. There is only a thin line between both of us and beasts. We often tend to fall towards the beastly line. This paper, however, will show how the Native American tribes maintain their ties and wisdom with the animals. For them, animal spirits stand for life and livelihood. They regard animals as “the messenger for wisdom about life, nature, and power. These also prophecy future (events), as we take dogs’ moaning to herald earthquake and cats’ growling to trumpet troubles. The tribes represent those spirits through symbols on clothes, art and ceremonial items as “Traditional Ecological Knowledge,” or TEK, in short (Grayson). For example, northern Plains peoples used buffalo images in holy rites and placed its skulls on homes to honor its spirit while others name clans after animals, and use animal amulets, talismans, and fetishes. In Nepal also, some Tharus have Gajaraj (King of Elephants) clan; and Hatti (elephant) is the clan name of a Vaishya caste in Terai. Here Gaindakot, across the Trishuli River, is named so as “a habitat of rhinos” and Chitrawan (Chitwan) after Chitrakut, India and it celebrates the entire flora and fauna along with the humans. Other noteworthy animal place names, among many, are Gaighat (Udaypur), Bayalbas (Sarlahi), Ghodasahan (Bihar, India), Gaushala (Mahottari and Kathmandu), Gauchar(an) (Kathmandu), Singapore (Singapore), and so on. Many deities have animals as their carriers or costumes like snake and tiger skin (Shiva), mouse (Ganesha), and peacock (Saraswati), and many nations have animals as their prominent national symbols like eagle (USA), tiger (India), lion (Sri Lanka). Even some currencies carry animals denoting denominations—for examples, gainda (rhino) means 100.00 NPR, bagh (tiger) stands for 500.00 NPR, and hatti (elephant) is worth 1,000.00 NPR.

Comparative Study of Tiger Identification Using Template Matching Approach based on Edge Patterns

The presence of tigers in residential areas as predators was a threat to humans and their livestock. Through digital image processing, these animals could be identified by matching line patterns on the skin as a characteristic of the tiger using the template matching method, namely comparing the similarities between the lines pattern in the reference image with the main image. However, the presence of plant leaves and shrubs with various shapes could disguise tiger skin line patterns so that it could affect the accuracy of identification results. In this paper, we conducted a comparative study to identify tigers based on edge lines which were then processed using three edge detection method namely Canny, Laplacian and Sobel. The results of each operator were further processed using template matching algorithm to get the accuracy of object identification (tiger).

Sin and a Tiger Skin: The Stickiness of Elinor Glyn’s Three Weeks

This article considers how the press announcements about Elinor Glyn's Three Weeks (1907) and then the reviews of the novel, titillated the reading public. It then considers how sex, pleasure and desire function in the novel, centring on the tiger skin on which the adulterous love affair between Paul Verdayne and the Lady is consummated. The article also considers not only how desire and pleasure are located within the novel, but also how the tiger skin is embedded with those desires and pleasures. Drawing on Sara Ahmed’s work in The Cultural Politics of Emotion (2004) on how emotions and feelings travel, penetrate and stick to particular bodies, the article reflects upon how the circulation of affect, of affective value, can fix the objects of emotions. If an object such as a book which has received a great deal of advance press regarding its possible censoring, or a tiger skin on which an adulterous affair is consummated, is associated with a particular discourse repeatedly, then certain affects will stick to this object. In short, how does a tiger skin come to function as erotic shorthand for sex, pleasure and desire? The tiger skin in Three Weeks became a marker of all these emotions and affects, circulating in the cultural afterlife of this text in significant ways. Considering how the tiger skin functions in the novel complicates the understanding of generic codes and readerly expectations, and how desire is messily articulated.

Asia's economic growth and its impact on Indonesia's tigers

Illegal wildlife trade represents a major threat to biodiversity. Recent wildlife consumption trends across Asia have shown shifts in preference towards new species, such as Sunda pangolin, and increased volumes of consumption for longer-traded species, such as tiger. These trends are widely thought to be a result of the higher levels of wealth generated from the impressive economic growth experienced across Asia. This raises important questions regarding the role that economic growth plays as a driver of poaching on source populations of highly-prized species. As a first step to answering these, we investigate trade dynamics related to the poaching of tigers and their principal prey using a long-term biological and economic data set. The fluctuating poaching patterns recorded for tiger prey, which are locally consumed for their meat, showed no association with rising domestic beef prices, the most likely substitutable protein source. However for tiger, annual poaching rates were positively and significantly correlated with changes in local tiger skin prices that, in turn, were closely correlated with annual GDP changes in the key consumer countries. Our preliminary analysis raises further questions around the causal pathways through which rising affluence and extinction risk are linked; a question that should be posed for a wide set of species. Thus, the strong regional leadership that has enabled high economic growth across Asia and lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty should now be urgently directed to tackling illegal wildlife trade and, as a priority, to closing domestic and international trafficking routes.

A Study on Fur Rugs in Joseon Period

This study is to examine the fur rugs in Joseon period. Rugs made of fabrics, fur, stem of plants, and papers depending on the changes of seasons started to be used in order to protect the body by keeping the cold and moisture in the floor out. Fur rugs in Joseon period were made of tiger skins, leopard skins, goat leathers, red fox skins, and dog skins Among them, fur have been loved from the ancient times up to now as a material which is excellent for keeping out the cold in order to survive in the cold climate. Fur had been steadily used as a ingredient of clothes and rugs since the ancient times. Fur rugs in Joseon period were made of tiger skins, leopard skins, goat leathers, red fox skins, and dog skins. Among them, tiger-skins and leopard-skins symboled the authority and dignity with the meanings of Four God worship (四神- Hyeonmu, Jujak, Baekho, Cheongryong) and apotropaic practices, which were preferred most. These were made as cushions (Adage) and were placed on the top of rugs of tall flat sedges and rugs of fabrics. In many ways, fur rugs were used not only for keeping out the cold but also for revealing the superiority of the ruling class in the rituals and formal affairs. Used furs depended on the degree of official rank and rugs of fabrics and tall flat sedges used together also depended on their materials and quantities. Not only that, fur rugs played the role of expressing the courtesy and formality reflecting the Confucian social order.

A note on fieldwork in ‘dangerous’ circumstances: interviewing illegal tiger skin suppliers and traders in Lhasa

Whilst there is no doubt that fieldwork research involving active criminals contains risks and dangers, this is not always the case. Drawing on interviews conducted with illegal tiger skin suppliers and traders in Lhasa (Tibet), this article challenges orthodox understandings of criminological fieldwork. My experience in Lhasa speaks to three methodological issues: (A) the process of gaining access to and recruiting interviewees from the underworld, (B) fieldwork dangerousness and (C) the effects that the personal identity of the researcher has on the process of socialisation with the interviewees.

Siberian Tiger Skin Texture Identification based on Grey Correlation

Tiger skin texture identification has great significance for genetic diversity protection of the Siberian tiger. Existing identification method of BP network easily falls into the local minimum point, and Probabilistic Neural Network is unreliable and Gray symbiotic matrix has a great amount of calculation. Thus, a method of Siberian tiger skin texture identification based on grey correlation has been proposed in this paper. This method can avoid the weakness of the above identification methods. Four skin texture stripes extracted from tiger texture image are selected as the research object. Connect their endpoints to form three quadrilaterals, and then regard the quadrilateral area, the bottom length, and the left bottom corner features as the feature index of the objects, and compute the correlation between reference sequence and comparison sequence. Experimental results show that this method can improve the accuracy and speed of tiger skin texture identification, and finally provide a promising and new method to achieve individual identification of tigers.

Role of diffusion-weighted MRI in diagnosis of acute renal allograft dysfunction: a prospective preliminary study

The aim was to evaluate the effects of diagnostic performance of diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI in the assessment of acute impairment of transplanted kidneys. From January 2009 to January 2010, 49 patients with stable renal allograft function (Group 1) and 21 patients with acute graft impairment (Group 2) were included in the study. All patients were evaluated with coronal T(2) weighted (T(2)W) and DW MRI of the kidney. Patients in Group 2 underwent graft biopsy to determine the underlying histopathological aetiology. Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was calculated and the kidneys were studied for any areas of diffusion restriction. Two radiologists, who were blinded to the results of histopathology, independently interpreted the T(2)W and DW images. The histopathological diagnosis of Group 2 (21 patients) was acute cellular rejection (ACR) in 10, acute tubular necrosis (ATN) in 7 and immunosuppressive toxicity in 4 patients. ADC values in Group 1 were significantly higher compared with Group 2 (p<0.001), patients with ACR (p<0.001), patients with ATN (p<0.001) and patients with drug toxicity (p<0.001). Using 2 × 10(-3) mm(2) s(-1) as a cut-off, there was no overlap between the ADC values of patients with normal graft function and those with ATN. Both ACR and ATN had a low ADC value, but on the ADC map the kidney in cases of ATN appears heterogeneous with a characteristic mosaic pattern resembling the Tiger skin. There was no significant T(2)W morphological difference between the two groups. These results show how DW MRI is a promising new technique for the diagnosis of acute renal transplant dysfunction.
