Abstract:
Sharks are among the most endangered nonhuman animals on the planet because of industrial fishing, the shark meat and fin trade, expanding recreational fishing, and other anthropogenic causes. White sharks (Carcharodon carcharias), the most visible in popular culture, remain vulnerable (VU, IUCN Red List) and understudied, although population recovery is having a measure of success in regions like the Eastern Pacific and the Northern Atlantic of the United States. As numbers rise, Jaws associations also remain in vogue in programming that emphasizes human–wildlife** conflict such as Shark Week’s Great White Serial Killer Lives. Network marketing typically promotes this content by hyping shark science. Textual analysis, however, suggests that exposure to pseudoscientific narratives and unethical fear-inducing images is counterproductive to wider support for conservation programs and public recognition for sharks’ rights to their habitats.

Abstract:
The fast swimming and associated breaching behaviour of endothermic mackerel sharks is well suited to the capture of agile prey. In contrast, the observed but rarely documented breaching capability of basking sharks is incongruous to their famously languid lifestyle as filter-feeding planktivores. Indeed, by analysing video footage and an animal-instrumented data logger, we found that basking sharks exhibit the same vertical velocity (approx. 5 m s −1 ) during breach events as the famously powerful predatory great white shark. We estimate that an 8-m, 2700-kg basking shark, recorded breaching at 5 m s −1 and accelerating at 0.4 m s −2 , expended mechanical energy at a rate of 5.5 W kg −1 ; a mass-specific energetic cost comparable to that of the great white shark. The energy cost of such a breach is equivalent to around 1/17th of the daily standard metabolic cost for a basking shark, while the ratio is about half this for a great white shark. While breaches by basking sharks must serve a different function to white shark breaches, their similar breaching speeds questions our perception of the physiology of large filter-feeding fish.

Abstract:
Observations of great white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) scavenging from cetacean carcasses are rare and have only been reported in the scientific literature for large (>3.5 m total length (TL)) individuals. Between 13 October and 25 November 2006, young of the year and juvenile great white sharks were observed scavenging from the carcass of a humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) in Algoa Bay, South Africa. Although more than one shark scavenged from the carcass, simultaneous feeding was not observed. The sharks showed a clear preference for soft tissue at sites along the mouth of the carcass. Protective ocular rotation was rarely observed and none of the sharks exhibited palatoquadrate protrusion while feeding. These observations provide a new insight into the foraging behaviour of young of the year and juvenile great white sharks. The prevalence of small great white sharks (1.5 m TL) and the absence of any individuals greater than 3.65 m TL suggest that Algoa Bay may function as a nursery area for great white sharks in South Africa. This information is crucial not only to improve our understanding of great white shark biology, but also for their long-term management and conservation in South Africa.

Abstract:
Systems that classify images by the individual animals they contain have widespread applicability in field-based ecology and conservation research, allowing individuals to be recognised repeatedly in a non-invasive way. The aim of this thesis is the design of such systems for animal species where individuals exhibit visually unique body morphologies, with the specific objective that individuals are recognised fully automatically. A two-stage approach is adopted to achieve this objective, as illustrated for the task of recognising individual great white sharks. First, a model is trained for automatic object part detection that combines a partitioning of ultrametric contour maps with shape descriptions and dense local features. This provides robust part detection but fine-grained segmentation accuracy is sacrificed in favour of computational efficiency. As such the approach is complemented by affinity matting for local edge refinement. The combination of part detection and affinity matting achieves robust, efficient and pixel accurate biometric contour detection. Second, a generative model combines evidence provided by densely sampled, multiscale local shape descriptions for biometric contour classification. The approach provides a discriminative representation of individuality while demonstrating robustness to sources of intra-individual variability introduced by partial occlusions and automatic shape detection errors. As an additional contribution, the distribution of individuality in dimensions of smoothing-filter scale, spatial location and descriptor complexity is quantified. Insights are provided to guide processes of image acquisition, shape representation, and efficient shape extraction. Finally, the generality of the contour representation is presented alongside a novel framework for discriminative cue combination in an application to individual humpback whale recognition. A detailed evaluation of the major system components is provided with results demonstrating fully automatic individual classification performance at accuracy and efficiency levels ready to assist human identification efforts.

Abstract:
This study poses as its objective the genetic characterization of the ancient population of the Great White shark, Carcharodon carcharias, L.1758, present in the Mediterranean Sea. Using historical evidence, for the most part buccal arches but also whole, stuffed examples from various national museums, research institutes and private collections, a dataset of 18 examples coming from the Mediterranean Sea has been created, in order to increase the informations regarding this species in the Mediterranean. The importance of the Mediterranean provenance derives from the fact that a genetic characterization of this species' population does not exist, and this creates gaps in the knowledge of this species in the Mediterranean. The genetic characterization of the individuals will initially take place by the extraction of the ancient DNA and the analysis of the variations in the sequence markers of the mitochondrial DNA. This approach has allowed the genetic comparison between ancient populations of the Mediterranean and contemporary populations of the same geographical area. In addition, the genetic characterization of the population of white sharks of the Mediterranean, has allowed a genetic comparison with populations from global "hot spots", using published sequences in online databases (NCBI, GenBank). Analyzing the variability of the dataset, both in terms space and time, I assessed the evolutionary relationships of the Mediterranean population of Great Whites with the global populations (Australia/New Zealand, South Africa, Pacific USA, West Atlantic), and the temporal trend of the Mediterranean population variability. This method based on the sequencing of two portions of mitochondrial DNA genes, markers showed us how the population of Great White Sharks in the Mediterranean, is genetically more similar to the populations of the Australia Pacific ocean, American Pacific Ocean, rather than the population of South Africa, and showing also how the population of South Africa is abnormally distant from all other clusters. Interestingly, these results are inconsistent with the results from tagging of this species. In addition, there is evidence of differences between the ancient population of the Mediterranean with the modern one. This differentiation between the ancient and modern population of white shark can be the result of events impacting on this species occurred over the last two centuries.

The South African Government introduced protective legislation prohibiting targeted fishing of the great white shark Carcharodon carcharias in 1991. This pre-emptive measure was intended to protect this species from increasing fishing pressure to allow researchers to gather information of this shark’s distribution, basic life history traits, breeding behaviour, and habitat use. Following this, the species conservation status was placed on CITES Appendix II and classified on the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) Red List as Vulnerable. This thesis investigates white sharks at Gansbaai, in particular their occurrence, changes over time and the influence of environmental variables on their numbers there. The size and numbers of white sharks were recorded from an anchored cage diving vessel over a five-year period between 2007 and 2011. The study was conducted around Dyer Island and the inshore region of Gansbaai in the Western Cape of South Africa. A change in size frequency between seasons suggests that the white sharks are not resident for long periods, but that different size classes use the coastal bay at different times. There was a statistically significant change of size distribution over the five years for both male and female sharks. The trend of larger sizes recorded later in the study could infer a change in the cohorts visiting the bay or growth of the same individuals exhibiting site fidelity to the area.

Abstract:
Chapter 1: The great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias, is the most widely protected elasmobranch in the world, and is classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN and listed on Appendix III of CITES. Monitoring of trade in white shark products and enforcement of harvest and trade prohibitions is problematic, however, in large part due to difficulties in identifying marketed shark parts (e.g., dried fins, meat and processed carcasses) to species level. To address these conservation and management problems, I have developed a rapid, molecular diagnostic assay based on species-specific PCR primer design for accurate identification of white shark body parts. The assay is novel in several respects: It employs a multiplex PCR assay utilizing both nuclear (ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 2) and mitochondrial (cytochrome b) loci simultaneously to achieve a highly robust measure of diagnostic accuracy; it is very sensitive, detecting the presence of white shark DNA in a mixture of genomic DNAs from up to ten different commercially fished shark species pooled together in a single PCR tube; and it successfully identifies white shark DNA from globally distributed animals. In addition to its utility for white shark trade monitoring and conservation applications, this highly streamlined, bi-organelle, multiplex PCR assay may prove useful as a general model for the design of genetic assays aimed at detecting body parts from other protected and threatened species. Chapter 2: Sharks and their relatives (Class Chondrichthyes) were the among the first vertebrates to evolve internal fertilization, yet our understanding of mating and parentage in this ancient group lags far behind many other animal groups. This is especially surprising because many shark populations worldwide are experiencing severe declines in abundance, and conservation planners are in dire need of basic information on their reproductive natural history. Based on a few genetic and field observational studies, current speculation is that polyandrous mating and multiple paternity may be as common in sharks as they are in most other vertebrate groups. Here, I examine this idea by genetically analyzing paternity in the hammerhead, Sphyrna tiburo (bonnethead), from the west coast of Florida, using the largest and most geographically widespread sample of shark litters analyzed to date. Contrary to expectations based on results from a few other shark species, the ability of female bonnetheads to store sperm and observations of their social behavior, I found that over 80% of females produced litters sired by a single male (genetic monogamy). This is the first record of this genetic mating system in this ancient class of fishes. When multiple paternity does occur in S. tiburo, I found no evidence for the involvement of any more than one additional male, no consistent pattern of paternity skew between fathers and an overrepresentation of multiple paternity in bigger litters with larger mothers. My results suggest that sharks and their relatives may exhibit diverse mating strategies and, as a result, some species may have a reduced capacity to maintain genetic variation in the face of large-scale depletion or changes in sex-ratio.

Abstract:
Shark-like batoids are a group of elasmobranchs with a body form similar to that of sharks (i.e. elongate body, well developed caudal and dorsal fins), but with head, gill and mouth morphology similar to that of skates and stingrays. Severe population declines of and reduction in geographic distribution throughout the South-East Asian portion of their range suggest Glaucostegus typus and Rhynchobatus spp. are vulnerable to depletion by unregulated take in fisheries. Shark-like batoids in fisheries have been poorly studied in comparison to sharks and data on these populations is severely lacking. Given the value of their fins, fishing is likely to continue in many locations. This research provides knowledge of their life history, ecology and how they interact with fisheries. This information is essential for informing decision making tools and the development of successful management strategies. Between 2007 and 2009, an on board vessel observer program was conducted to examine the composition of elasmobranch catch in Queensland's east coast inshore finfish fishery (ECIFF). Of the batoids, G. typus were most frequently caught in intertidal habitats, whereas Rhynchobatus spp. dominated the catch in inshore coastal habitats. Comparison of gill-net catches to research long-line sampling showed that not all size classes of shark-like batoids are captured by the gill-net fishery. Current mesh size restrictions in Queensland's gill-net fisheries limited interaction with G. typus to juveniles. Given that home-range size and habitat use by elasmobranchs can vary between ontogenetic stages and species, vulnerability to fisheries may vary depending on overlap of preferred habitats and fishing activity, and whether each size class is susceptible to the gear. Given the naturally low abundances of shark-like batoids, ecological sensitivity and structural complexity of some habitats within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (GBRMP), the use of conventional fisheries independent sampling across such a large geographic area would be impossible. The applicability of baited remote under-water video station (BRUVS©) to determine the distribution of elasmobranchs at broad spatial scales (12° latitude) and across a range of habitat types was assessed. This broad assessment allowed examination of distribution at the ecosystem scale in environments outside of those typically targeted by commercial gill-net fisheries. Shark-like batoids were observed across a wide depth range (10.4 - 87.5 m), showing highest affinity for 30 - 40 m. The depth range of highest affinity is outside the maximum depth at which the ECIFF operates. It is likely that preference for these deeper habitats may limit exposure of Rhynchobatus spp. to the commercial gill-net fishery. There was no difference in the proportion of BRUVS© in which shark-like batoids were observed between fished and unfished marine park zones. BRUVS© results suggest that marine protected areas (MPAs) may be of limited benefit to mobile habitat generalists like Rhynchobatus spp. Baited remote under-water video station surveys offer a standardized, non-extractive technique for quantifying the spatial distribution of mobile species that are difficult to sample using conventional techniques across broad spatial scales. The utility of BRUVS© was severely limited in high turbidity environments, such as inshore coastal embayment's within the GBRMP. Acoustic telemetry was used in these habitats to examine the space use and residency of shark-like batoids. Glaucostegus typus were monitored between 1 and 766 days (mean = 333 ± 69 days) and were present in the site from 1 to 198 days (mean 73 ± 25 days). Both adult male and female G. typus exhibited philopatric behaviour patterns, leaving the bay and returning after periods of about 9 -12 months to use the same areas where they were detected in previous years. Strong site fidelity observed in adult G. typus suggests that nearshore areas are a key component of the species' spatial ecology, and may form critical habitat. Strong philopatry evident in adult G. typus suggest this species may benefit from the use of discrete areas of protection in inshore coastal waters during austral summer months. Rhynchobatus spp. were monitored for 1 to 707 days (mean = 231 ± 50 days) and were present in the site from 1 to 350 days (mean 82 ± 24 days). Rhynchobatus spp. exhibited no synchronicity in use of the bay and size had no effect on residency. These findings support those from the BRUVS©, Rhynchobatus spp. is likely a habitat generalist with any patterns of spatial ecology possibly diluted by the presence of three species. The life histories of G. typus and Rhynchobatus spp. captured in the ECIFF were examined using vertebral ageing. The sigmoid growth functions, Gompertz and logistic, best described the growth of Rhynchobatus spp. and G. typus, providing the best statistical fit and most biologically appropriate parameters. The 2-parameter logistic was the preferred model for Rhynchobatus spp. with growth parameter estimates (both sexes combined); L(∞) = 2045 mm STL; k = 0.41 yr⁻¹. The 2-parameter logistic growth model was also the preferred model for G. typus with growth parameter estimates (both sexes combined); L(∞) = 2770 mm STL; k = 0.30 yr⁻¹. Annual growth-band deposition could not be excluded in Rhynchobatus spp. using mark-recaptured individuals. A single growth curve has been proposed for the Rhynchobatus spp. complex, given biological samples have been pooled between complex members. Further the complex is currently managed as a single species and a single growth model may prove useful in informing future management strategies. Although morphologically similar G. typus and Rhynchobatus spp. have differing life histories, with G. typus longer lived, slower growing and attaining a larger maximum size. Sensitivities to uncertainties in biological parameters and vulnerability to fisheries depletion of G. typus and Rhynchobatus spp. were examined using population matrix models. Unfished G. typus and Rhynchobatus spp. had robust populations with positive population growth (λ), of 1.38 yr⁻¹ and 1.27 yr⁻¹ and generation times between 7.05 and 7.54 years, respectively. Increasing longevity of G. typus had little effect on rates of population increase, while increasing natural mortality by 50 % reduced rates of population increase λ, from 1.55 yr⁻¹ to 1.22 yr⁻¹. Increased age at maturity produced the lowest rates of population increase λ, 1.13 yr⁻¹ and longest generation times (12.0 years). Rhynchobatus spp. were robust to increases in longevity; however increasing natural mortality by 50 % rapidly decreased rates of population growth λ, from 1.28 yr⁻¹ to 1.01 yr⁻¹. Models with earlier ages at maturity had higher rates of population growth λ = 1.27 yr⁻¹ in comparison to models with older ages at maturity (λ, = 1.04 yr⁻¹). Population models were also used to examine the effectiveness of alternative management strategies to the current initiatives in place in Queensland waters. Minimum size limits performed best for G. typus, while maximum size limits were the most beneficial management strategy for Rhynchobatus spp. The difference in strategies was the result of variation in life history between the species. Based on the results of demographic analysis, size limits may be a suitable management tool for shark-like batoids assuming they could be effectively implemented and may offer greater protection than current bag limit strategies that are in place for Rhynchobatus spp. The findings from this dissertation highlight the need for species specific investigations of biology, spatial ecology and fisheries interaction. Despite morphological similarities between focal species their habitat use and biology are different. This dissertation has provided substantial information necessary in both the assessment of shark-like batoid vulnerability within the GBRMP in addition to the development of targeted species-specific management strategies. Managing for individual species in multi-species fisheries is challenging. Understanding how and where fisheries interactions occur and the vulnerability of populations to these interactions is essential if bycatch species are to receive effective targeted management in mixed species fisheries.

AbstractThe Zungeru dam and power plant had its share of problems (including protesting local communities affected by it) and suffered a three-year delay, but it looks to be completed in 2022. The case includes a characterization of “enabling conditions for project completion” as seen by a senior civil servant.The Delta State Oghareki was initiated with great promise but was then squarely brought down by corruption (the most glaring case in our sample), after a large initial payment disappeared through a contractor that allegedly was controlled by people close to the parliament. The project never progressed to substantive facilities, but no charges have been brought in Nigeria (while charges did indeed come to fruition in the UK, related to bribery of officials by UK-based component contractors). This case demonstrates how damaging corruption can become when it is not tracked and punished.

Abstract:
Gerrymandering is the process by which parties manipulate boundaries of electoral districts in order to maximize the number of districts they can win. Demographic trends show an increasingly strong correlation between residence and party affiliation; some party’s supporters congregate in cities, while others stay in more rural areas. We investigate both theoretically and empirically the effect of this trend on a party's ability to gerrymander in a two-party model ("urban party" and "rural party"). Along the way, we propose a definition of the gerrymandering power of a party, and an algorithmic approach for near-optimal gerrymandering in large instances. Our results suggest that beyond a fairly small concentration of urban party's voters, the gerrymandering power of a party depends almost entirely on the level of concentration, and not on the party's share of the population. As partisan separation grows, the gerrymandering power of both parties converge so that each party can gerrymander to get only slightly more than what its voting share warrants, bringing about, ultimately, a more representative outcome. Moreover, there seems to be an asymmetry between the gerrymandering power of the parties, with the rural party being more capable of gerrymandering.

Abstract:
Fluid power technologies have been applied for common rail fuel injection systems with great success over the last years. Another emerging application area can be found also in the automotive industry: The electro-hydraulic variable valve train system. Both applications share the problem of a hydraulic pressure rail under periodic excitation by the flow rates consumed either by common rail injectors or by the hydraulic valve drives. This excitation results in pressure oscillations in the desired constant pressure rails. For the modelling of these wave propagation phenomena, the availability of mathematical models for the dynamic influence of concentrated flow resistances like T-branches and sharp elbow bends is crucial. While there is abundant literature for the stationary flow case, the available experimental results for pulsatile flow or arbitrary periodic flow conditions are very limited. This paper describes a first experiment for the measurement of concentrated flow resistances in a rail system of straight bores with a circular cross section and a diameter of 10 mm. The test fluid is mineral oil and excitation frequencies are in the range of 10 to 1000 Hz.

Abstract:
The large divergence between productivity and workers’ incomes has been becoming a reality in most countries, not just in the United States after 1980s, where labour productivity grew faster than real wages and employment. The breakdown according to Brynjolfsson and McAfee (2014) is due to technological progress, according to Bivens and Mishel (2015) the growing inequality and according to Baker (2007) the declining labour share in GDP. The main goal of this paper is to find out if the global trend of “The Great Decoupling” between productivity and labour share is a real process in the case of the countries analyzed from the Southeast Europe region. Given that Slovenia is among the most developed countries, while North Macedonia belongs to the group of developing countries that in these stages of development rely on foreign capital and cheap labour, we examine whether the process of “The Great Decoupling” between productivity and labour share is a reality in both countries. From the analysis of the trend of the movement of the average labour productivity of these two countries, it can be concluded that in both countries there is a trajectory of the movement of the labour productivity. Also, from the trend of the movement of the share of labour income and labour productivity in the case of Slovenia and North Macedonia it can be concluded that they indicate the existence of a large gap, i.e. divergence in the trajectory of motion. Also, the gap between labour productivity and the share of labour income in GDP on the example of North Macedonia, if compared to the example of Slovenia is of lower intensity. Finally, based on the results obtained from the conducted econometric analysis, we determine whether there is a need for further research or the phenomenon is a temporary deviation in the dynamics of the gap between labour share and labour productivity.

Full text
Abstract:
We are in the midst of a digital revolution. In this “Age of Peer Production” armies of amateur participants demand the freedom to rip, remix and share their own digital culture. Aided by the newest iteration of file sharing networks, digital media users now have the option to retreat underground, by using secure, private, and anonymous file sharing networks, to share freely and breathe new life into digital media. These underground networks, collectively termed “The Darknet” will grow in scope, resilience and effectiveness in direct proportion to increasing digital restrictions the public finds untenable. The Darknet has been called the public’s great equalizing force in the digital millennium, because it will serve as “a counterbalancing force and bulwark to defend digital liberties” against forces lobbying for stronger copyrights and increased technological controls. This article proposes a digital use exception to existing copyright law to provide adequate compensation to authors while promoting technological innovation, and the creation and dissemination of new works. Although seemingly counterintuitive, content producers, publishers, and distributors wishing to profit from their creations must relinquish their control over digital media in order to survive the Darknet era.

Full text
Abstract:
“Dutch Disease” phenomenon is defined as the increase in the price of natural resources, such as oil and natural gas, which causes the appreciation of the real exchange rate and leads to the decline of manufacturing and ultimately to increases in service prices. Since the 1980s there has been a great body of “Dutch Disease” empirical literature, and as a natural resource-rich country Russia is a good case for the exploration of this phenomenon. The Russian economy experienced some difficulties after the collapse of the Soviet Union in the adaptation to a free market economy model. In the process of moving towards a free market economy, Russia failed to diversify its economic structure despite increases in natural resource revenues. In the last decades, while the share of natural resources in export revenues has significantly increased, the share of manufacturing output has decreased. According to the United Nations Development Program Russia report 2009, increases in energy income have resulted in the decline of other sectors of the Russian economy. Furthermore, the report claims that these indicators may trigger a recession in the Russian economy in the future. In fact, in recent years the Russian economy has exhibited some typical symptoms of “Dutch Disease” along with increases in oil prices accompanied by a reduction in the share of manufacturing output and an increase in service prices. Using Gregory Hansen cointegration method, this paper finds that Russia is in fact might be suffering from the “Dutch Disease” in the post Soviet Union-era.

Abstract:
The city of Munich currently faces great demographic pressure, as it is expected to add 200.000 new dwellings over the next decade while facing a sharp shortage of available land. With that problem in mind, this project proposes to re-densify the suburban neighborhoods of the city of Munich built between the 1960s and 70s, taking advantage of the sparseness with which they were originally laid out. The project focuses on the areas of Neuperlach and Taufkirchen, and proposes to understand them as an unfinished landscape, the product of unresolved tensions between different planning approaches at the time of their realization. It then proposes to re-interpret the existing fabric and to transform it into a more urban and complete whole by replicating existing typologies in order to create denser compositions and to reinforce the perimeter of each city block.

Full text
Abstract:
This helpdesk report provides a critical review of the literature on the role of faith and religious values in environmental engagement and action. Contemporary studies have examined the relationship between religion and climate change including the ongoing “greening” process of religions. The review focuses on the responses of the Islamic faith in the MENA region to climate-related issues. MENA is considered one of the region’s most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The rapid review drawing from empirical findings notes that religious organizations have great potential in the protection of the environment. Religious organizations possess resources and infrastructure to positively impact the conversation on climate change. While the review acknowledges the important role that religion plays in environmental engagement, there is still no unified perception of climate change among members of the Islamic faith. There are those who believe that there are other more urgent issues such as radicalism, terrorism, democracy, and human rights. The review notes that the shared challenge of climate change can provide a mechanism to bring together faiths to discuss, share teachings, and agree on common action.

Abstract:
Government spending on public works, goods and services in the European Union (EU) accounts for about 14% of the EU’s GDP. Consequently, the EU and its Member States (MS) can make a great impact in accelerating the development and uptake of low-carbon technologies through green public procurement (GPP). This brief is part of a wider project financed by Breakthrough Energy, aiming to understand the divergences in GPP uptake in different EU MS and to identify key barriers to greater adoption and opportunities ahead. Ultimately, the project aims to contribute to greater policy coherence among member states to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as to increase policy support for the design of GPP implementation frameworks and for harmonized GPP target-setting. In 2020, the road transport sector accounted for 23% and 20% of total Estonian and Polish GHG emissions, respectively, while the construction sector represented about 5% and 9% of Estonian and Polish total GHG emissions, respectively. These numbers point to the large mitigation potential that procuring authorities can support by including environmental criteria in procurements. In this brief, we share the results from our desktop research and stakeholder interviews for Estonia and Poland. Results from all cases and additional research will be published in a report later in 2022.
