Multijurisdictional fisheries performance reporting: How Australia’s nationally standardised approach to assessing stock status compares

Australian marine wild-capture fisheries are managed by eight separate jurisdictions. Traditionally, fishery status reports have been produced separately by most of these jurisdictions, assessing the fish stocks they manage, and reporting on the effectiveness of their fisheries management. However, the format, the type of stock status assessments, the thresholds and terminology used to describe stock status and the classification frameworks have varied over time and among jurisdictions. These differences complicate efforts to understand stock status on a national scale. They also create potential misunderstanding among the wider community about how to interpret information on the status of fish stocks, and the fisheries management and science processes more generally. This is especially true when considering stocks that are shared across two or more jurisdictional boundaries. A standardised approach was developed in 2011 leading to production of the first national Status of key Australian fish stocks reports in 2012, followed by a second edition in 2014 (www.fish.gov.au). Production of these reports was the first step towards a broader national approach to reporting on the performance of Australian fisheries for target species and for wider ecosystem and socioeconomic consequences. This paper outlines the challenges associated with moving towards national performance reporting for target fish stocks and Australia’s successes so far. It also outlines the challenges ahead, in particular those relating to reporting more broadly on the status of entire fisheries. Comparisons are drawn between Australia and New Zealand and more broadly between Australia and other countries.

Non-comital women of twelfth-century England: a charter based analysis

This thesis sets out to explore the place and agency of non-comital women in twelfth-century Anglo-Norman England. Until now, broad generalisations have been applied to all aristocratic women based on a long established scholarship on royal and comital women. Non-comital women have been overlooked, mainly because of an assumed lack of suitable sources from this time period. The first aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that there is a sufficient corpus of charters for a study of this social group of women. It is based on a database created from 5545 charters, of which 3046 were issued by non-comital women and men, taken from three case study counties, Oxfordshire, Suffolk and Yorkshire, and is also supported by other government records. This thesis demonstrates that non-comital women had significant social and economic agency in their own person. By means of a detailed analysis of charters and their clauses this thesis argues that scholarship on non-comital women must rethink the framework applied to the study of non-comital women to address the lifecycle as one of continuities and as active agents in a wider public society. Non-comital women’s agency and identity was not only based on land or in widowhood, which has been the one period in their life cycles where scholars have recognised some level of autonomy, and women had agency in all stages of their life cycle. Women’s agency and identity were drawn from and part of a wider framework that included their families, their kin, and broader local political, religious, and social networks. Natal families continued to be important sources of agency and identity to women long after they had married. Part A of the thesis applies modern charter diplomatic analysis methods to the corpus of charters to bring out and explore women’s presence therein. Part B contextualises these findings and explores women’s agency in their families, landholding, the gift-economy, and the wider religious and social networks of which they were a part.

”On tuhat tapaa lähestyä opittavaa asiaa ja tuhat tapaa oppia se” Eriyttäminen Perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelman perusteissa 1985–2014 ja ensimmäisen luokan matematiikan opettajan oppaissa

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, miten eriyttäminen näkyy Perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelman perusteissa 1985–2014 sekä ensimmäisen luokan matematiikan opettajan oppaissa. Tutkitut matematiikan opettajan oppaat olivat Sanoma Pron Kymppi ja Matikka sekä Otavan Tuhattaituri. Perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelmien perusteiden eriyttämiseen liittyvä aineisto analysoitiin aineistolähtöisellä sisällönanalyysilla ja opettajan oppaiden aineisto teorialähtöisellä sisällönanalyysilla. Analyysiyksiköksi valittiin asiakokonaisuus. Tällaisia asiakokonaisuuksia nousi opetussuunnitelmien perusteista esiin 1563. Opetussuunnitelmien perusteiden aineistolähtöisellä sisällönanalyysilla muodostettiin kolme pääluokkaa: 1) opetus, 2) roolit ja arvot sekä 3) tuki. Opettajan oppaiden teorialähtöinen sisällönanalyysi toteutettiin opetussuunnitelmien perusteista nousseiden pääluokkien avulla. Tutkimuksen avulla saatiin selville, että eriyttäminen nousi esiin monipuolisesti perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelmien perusteissa, mutta opetussuunnitelmien perusteiden välillä oli vaihtelua. Kaikissa perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelmien perusteissa voimakkaimmin esiin nousi oppilaan ominaisuuksien huomiointi. Myös myöhemmin julkaistujen erilaisten lisäyksien ja muutosten merkitys nähtiin suurena. Eriyttäminen nousi esiin suhteellisen monipuolisesti myös opettajan oppaissa. Opettajan oppaissa eriyttäminen painottui eritasoisiin tehtäviin ja toisinaan välineiden käyttöön. Arvioinnin monipuolisuus ja opetuksen eriyttämiseen liittyvä opettajan rooli jäivät tutkituissa opettajan oppaissa hyvin vähäisiksi, lähes olemattomiksi.

The chosen topic is the translation of documents containing terminology about Designations of Origin and Geographical Indications of Portuguese wines, namely wines from the Dão region. Chapter I provides an introduction to Designations of Origin in general and then specifically for Portuguese wines. Chapter II examines common translation resource problems and the importance of documentation and terminology work prior to the translation process; then, it discusses the relevant bibliography. Chapter III provides a translation of two documents about Designations of Origin, namely Labelling Regulations and Guide for Technical Procedures of Management and Control for the wines of the Dão. Chapter IV discusses the difficulties and solutions for the translation problems encountered during the process. Finally, the conclusions are shown and suggestions for future research are given.

Examination of Inequalities in Hungary by Microsimulation in Consistency with Macro Data

Effective decision making uses various databases including both micro and macro level datasets. In many cases it is a big challenge to ensure the consistency of the two levels. Different types of problems can occur and several methods can be used to solve them. The paper concentrates on the input alignment of the households’ income for microsimulation, which means refers to improving the elements of a micro data survey (EU-SILC) by using macro data from administrative sources. We use a combined micro-macro model called ECONS-TAX for this improvement. We also produced model projections until 2015 which is important because the official EU-SILC micro database will only be available in Hungary in the summer of 2017. The paper presents our estimations about the dynamics of income elements and the changes in income inequalities. Results show that the aligned data provides a different level of income inequality, but does not affect the direction of change from year to year. However, when we analyzed policy change, the use of aligned data caused larger differences both in income levels and in their dynamics.
