Abstract:
Updated data is an essential requirement for carrying out research, planning, and policy briefs. The Coral reef triangle region is one of the areas with the highest diversity of marine biota and the discovery of new species in this area are increasing every year, much of this information is already available. However, most of the data is not available per region and is still scattered. This study aims to create a checklist and assessment of new species and a new record of fishes from this region over the last ten years based on several aspects, including species composition, pattern of distribution, endemicity, and depth using every source of the report and secondary literature data. The current new species and a new record of fish in the last decades combined consists of 360 species (268 new species and 92 new records). The most speciose group of family dominated by Gobiidae (93), followed by Labridae, Pomacentridae and Serranidae (18), Apogonidae (17), Dasyatidae (15), and the rest were ranged from 1-9 species per family. More than half of new species and new records are found in Indonesia, followed by the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and Solomon Island. The result shows that cryptobenthic Families especially Gobiidae from genus Trimma and eviota are dominated the trend of new species and new record discovery and it is expected to rise over time while there will also be an emergence of some possibly new endemic species from major and rare families from the eastern part of Indonesia (West Papua and Papua New Guinea). Thus, the eastern part of Indonesia (Papua, Maluku, Aru Sea, and Papua New Guinea) and the northern part of Indonesia (North Sulawesi and Philippine) are suitable for exploration for marine biodiversity discovery research in the future.

Abstract:
The limited petroleum search which has taken place in Pacific island arc areas has focused mainly on deep forearc or intra-arc basins, so far without success. Very few exploration wells have been drilled. The interpretation of the results of marine geophysical and geological surveys and research carried out in the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, southwestern Pacific, suggests that the thick volcaniclastic depocentres probably lack major petroleum potential. However, the margins of the basins are likely to be much more prospective. Marginal marine environments bordering the basins may generate immense quantities of organic material favourable to petroleum generation, and this material can be fed into deep basins adjacent to reefal reservoirs. In the Solomons and Vanuatu, where no exploration wells have been drilled, this marginal marine play greatly enhances prospectivity - and, by extrapolation, also that of other arc systems. In particular, source beds may be present. Promising target areas in the Solomons and Vanuatu include Iron Bottom Basin adjacent to Guadalcanal, the southwestern flank of the Solomon High from Choiseul through Santa Isabel - Florida Islands - northern Guadalcanal (especially the Manning Strait area), the area between the Shortland Islands and western Choiseul, Vanikolo Basin, the western margins of the North and South Aoba Basins, and possibly the Malekula and Mbokokimbo Basins.

Abstract:
Rainfall estimation over the Pacific region is difficult due to the large distances between rain gauges and the high convection nature of many rainfall events. This study evaluates space-based rainfall observations over the South West Pacific Region from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s (JAXA) Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP), the USA National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center morphing technique (CMORPH), the Climate Hazards group Infrared Precipitation with Stations (CHIRPS), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Integrated Multi-Satellite Retrievals for GPM (IMERG). The technique of collocation analysis (CA) is used to compare the performance of monthly satellite precipitation estimates (SPEs). Multi-Source Weighted-Ensemble Precipitation (MSWEP) was used as a reference dataset to compare with each SPE. European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts’ (ECMWF) ERA5 reanalysis was also combined with Soil Moisture-2-Rain–ASCAT (SM2RAIN–ASCAT) to perform triple CA for the six sub-regions of Fiji, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea (PNG), the Solomon Islands, Timor, and Vanuatu. It was found that GSMaP performed best over low rain gauge density areas, including mountainous areas of PNG (the cross-correlation, CC = 0.64), and the Solomon Islands (CC = 0.74). CHIRPS had the most consistent performance (high correlations and low errors) across all six sub-regions in the study area. Based on the results, recommendations are made for the use of SPEs over the South West Pacific Region.

Abstract:
The excavation of Kilu Cave and the discovery of a Pleistocene prehistory for the Solomon Islands have already been reported in ANTIQUITY by Wickler & Spriggs (62: 703–6). Residue analysis of stone artefacts from the site now provides the earliest direct evidence for the prehistoric use of root vegetables, in the form of starch grains and crystalline raphides identifiable to genus. The direct microscopic identification of starch grains opens new avenues for the study of the plant component of human diets in the distant past.

Abstract:
Almost from its inception The Royal Society has had a particular interest in the seas of the Southern Hemisphere. The Endeavour voyage of circumnavigation in southern waters by James Cook and his naturalist Joseph Banks, which was initiated by the Society, had repercussions—far beyond its original astronomical purpose—in oceanography, biology, exploration and world politics. It left a tradition, which still continues in the Society, of promoting wide-ranging expeditions such as those of the Erebus and Terror , the Challenger and, more recently, those to the Great Barrier Reef, the Solomon Islands, the New Hebrides and the island of Aldabra. The sea areas covered are those lying between the South Polar Front and, approximately, the Equator. Small islands and inshore waters are included but not land-based expeditions, such as those to Southern Chile and the Matto Grosso. The contributions of both the Society and its Fellows acting individually have been numerous and varied but here attention is restricted to three interconnected topics: physical and geological oceanography, biogeography and the genesis of coral reefs.

Abstract:
This study investigates issues impeding effective school leadership in Solomon Islands' secondary schools. In particular, it examines principals' perceptions of those issues that impede their effective leadership of their schools. There is an international literature focusing on this area that has contributed to the study. However, many of the research findings in western contexts are invalid in the context of a developing nation such as the Solomon Islands. Thus contextual specificity was an important underlying factor in the study. The research data was gathered using qualitative methods. Specifically, interviews with five principals were conducted using semi-structured interviews and was analysed using a thematic analysis approach. The research fieldwork was carried out in the Solomon Islands in August 2006. A sample of five participants was used. They were selected from five schools representing Community High Schools (CHS) and senior Provincial Secondary Schools (PSS) in two provinces and the Honiara City Council. The key findings of the study identify a range of factors that inhibit effective school leadership. These included a lack of initial training and support for on-going professional learning, unfavourable conditions of service, poor quality of teachers' professional practice, poor school facilities and infrastructure, poor administrative infrastructure, lack of appropriate and adequate financial resources, lack of support personnel, policy and systemic issues, social and cultural issues, and issues pertaining to school-community partnerships. Based on the findings identified in the study, recommendations were made on how to improve effective leadership of the schools throughout the Solomon Islands. Of particular importance is the establishment of professional development programmes for both newly appointed and servicing principals. Such programmes should enhance the leadership capacity of the principals in the schools and create a more conducive learning environment.

The nature resource is not enough and the wage increases in Taiwan. The enterprise needs to move some labor-intensive industry to foreign country in order to overcome the drawback of scare nature resource in Taiwan. Solomon island is a low development country in Taiwan and has diplomatic relation with Taiwan. Solomon island possess huge amount of agriculture, fishery production and some un-development mineral such as Lead, Zinc, Nickel and Golden etc. The advantage of the enterprise in Taiwan invest Solomon island includes: (1) Solomon island brings huge nature resource for Taiwan. (2) Solomon island is a labor-intensive industry investment place for Taiwan. (3) Solomon island possess a lot of fish in their territory. (4) Solomon island can be a gas station for Taiwan fishery board. However, any investment possess the risk especially the enterprise invest foreign country. The risk for enterprise invest foreign country includes management confiscation in politics, exchange rate risk in economics and culture management obstacle in business management. The goal of this research is to execute the analyze decision for Taiwan businessman for investing in Solomon island.

This study aims to gain an understanding of the challenges regarding the existing capacity building initiatives of the clinical nurses in Solomon Islands. Research has shown that adequate nursing capacities improve patient health outcomes. However, little is known about the challenges regarding the capacity development of the clinical nurses for effective service delivery in Solomon Islands. Hence, recognizing the challenges is significant to the development of strategies required to reinforce their existing capacities within the health care service. A qualitative research design with in-depth individual interview of 10 (Key persons) clinical nurses from various health care facilities in Honiara participated in the study in 2015. Data was obtained through semi-structured open ended individual interview. All the interviews were audio recorded then were transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was used to identify themes relevant to this study. Four themes emerged from the study were: Professional Development Initiatives, Lack of motivation, Manpower deficit and Insufficient funding. The findings of this study highlighted some of the challenges the clinical nurses encountered regarding the development of their capacities for effective service delivery. Hence, interventions by the responsible ministry, the government and its important stakeholders aiming at reinforcing nursing capacities in the Solomon Islands need to consider these challenges. Further studies are needed to explore the capacities of the clinical nurses specifically in the different levels of the health care services and to explore specific capacities as highlighted in the study.

Abstract:
This dissertation investigates the ways visitors to Haida Gwaii (sometimes called the Queen Charlotte Islands) have written about the islands. I argue that accounts by visitors to Haida Gwaii fashion the object that they seek to represent. In short, visitors' stories do not unproblematically reflect the islands but determine how Haida Gwaii is perceived. These perceptions in turn affect the actions of visitors, residents and governments. I contribute to that representational process, striving to show the material consequences of language and the ways discourses shape Haida Gwaii. The dissertation consists of three sections. "Early visitors" focuses on the last quarter of the eighteenth century, studying the earliest documented visits by Euro-American mariners and fur traders. "Modern visitors" concentrates on the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, when some visitors were busy imposing colonial forms of government and social organization, while others were resisting these projects. "Recent visitors" concentrates on the final quarter of the twentieth century, examining the campaign to save a portion of the archipelago from clearcutting and efforts to develop alternatives to resource-extractive economic practices. By examining three case studies for each period, I argue that the ways visitors imagine the islands have been transformed in each of these periods.

Abstract:
Early in the history of systematic biology, scientists were interested in documenting the wonders of “the creation.” Specimens procured on expeditions were placed in collections, and spectacular hand-colored plates graced giant monographs, showpieces of discovery and exploration. Darwin’s work shifted interests to natural selection and the process of speciation. In addition to Darwin’s volumes on evolution, whose main tenets were predicated on observations of island speciation patterns, Alfred Wallace’s (1880) Island Life explained the great diversity of species on islands. Today, in an expanded concept islands remains the central focus for investigations of speciation and the mechanisms that drive change. Islands come in the form of Petri dish cultures of bacteria, bottles of Drosophila, mesic sky islands (mountaintop habitats isolated by intervening desert), and subaerial landmasses (surrounded by water). Evolution has remained the unifying principle of biology, and the concepts and methods associated with it have made their way into virtually all aspects of human culture. Several groups of islands have been instructional in the development of evolutionary theory. The Galapagos Islands clearly had the greatest impact. However, the islands in the Sea of Cortés have also significantly influenced our understanding of the speciation process. Within herpetology, studies have looked at the evolution of insular gigantism (Case 1978b; Petren and Case 1997), anatomical and genetic variability (Soulé et al. 1973), and species composition (Case 1975, 1983; Murphy 1983a). Others have addressed island biogeography in the manner of MacArthur and Wilson’s (1963, 1967) model of colonization and extinction (Case 1975, 1983; Wilcox 1978, 1980) versus historical constraints imposed by plate tectonics (Murphy 1983). Various ecological attributes of insular populations have been compared to those of the founding source (reviewed in Case 1983). Controversies over peninsular effects have been evaluated (Taylor and Regal 1978, 1980; Seib 1980; Murphy 1991), as have the phylogenetic relationships of taxa (reviewed below). These are but a few examples of the herpetological investigations. The intensity of study in the Sea of Cortés has not waned in recent years. To the contrary, it has intensified. Renewed interest in the evolution of the Baja California herpetofauna owes much to the nature of the peninsula and its associated islands.

Full text
Abstract:
Chapter 1 resurrects the hypothesis, supported by several studies conducted in different spheres of academic research (archaeology; ancient DNA study; toponomastics; physical anthropology), about the possible population movements through the mid-Caribbean island chain and the early connections between the region of Nicaragua/Honduras in Lower Central America and the Greater Antilles. It examines non-Arawak toponyms from Western Cuba and tentatively links them to the Chibchan language family spoken in Lower Central America and in the Isthmo-Columbian region. The question of explaining the developments that made possible such long distance direct maritime links, and population movements, is answered with bathymetric studies by Milne and Perros which indicate that between 8000 BP and 4000 BP the sea level was 4–5 m lower. More islands in the Nicaraguan Rise were exposed and habitable than there are today. Such situation could provide early fishing communities not only with an easy island-hopping highway towards the Greater Antilles, but also with fishing grounds. This hypothesis agrees with views on island archaeology, which analyze island colonization as two main phases: occupation and utilization. The first begins with discovery, and progresses through exploration and visitation to year-round utilization. The second comprises first seasonal settlement and establishment, or permanent settlement.

Abstract:
Abstract Increasing demand for energy is driving the need to explore the deeper oceans and the far north. While higher temperature, pressure and longer tie-backs are challenges going deep, highly sensitive environment is an issue exploring far north. The discovery of large reserves in the far north has brought the challenges of exploration, production, and transportation in the cold regions like Prudhoe Bay, the Mackenzie Delta, and the Arctic Islands into focus. To transport hydrocarbons to market, pipelines used in the Arctic have unique challenges and stringent design conditions that must be met to ensure reliable operations in such remote and sensitive environments. To avoid flow assurance risks, the adage “the hotter the better” is in stark contrast to the sensitive nature of the Arctic environment to temperature changes, and where “the colder the better” is more appropriate. Permafrost, and its potential disturbance, is the most important factor to be considered for pipeline thermal design. High temperatures can disturb the in-situ state of the permafrost, causing settlement and instability in the permafrost zone. Also, high pipeline temperatures demand deep trenches to avoid melting the surface ice, challenging installation and increasing CAPEX. Designing the pipeline to maintain high internal fluid temperatures to reduce flow assurance risks and lower pipeline outer temperatures to minimize the impact on the environment is the best solution. To maintain high fluid temperatures and reduce heat loss to the environment, the conventional idea of a high value insulation like pipe-in-pipe with a vacuum annulus to avoid heat loss to the sensitive Arctic surroundings may seem to be a good solution, but it may not be the optimal solution. This paper discusses a hypothetical scenario (based on field cases) of a multiphase pipeline design and highlights the associated flow assurance/operational risks.
