More or Less Ice? Shipping in the Russian Arctic and the Role of Climate Change
Melting sea ice has often been presented as a primary driver for development of Arctic shipping, but what role has it played for policies to develop the Northern Sea Route? It may look paradoxical that Russia has embarked on an ambitious icebreaker construction program, given climate change. In Russia, there have been contradictory assessments of further climate developments in the Arctic. Representatives of the nuclear icebreaker fleet have argu…
On the Vulnerabilities of the Northern Sea Route’s Maritime Transportation System
This study analyses several vulnerabilities in the maritime transportation system of the Northern Sea Route (NSR). The vulnerabilities discussed are already impacting transport and logistics operations on the NSR. These vulnerabilities have greatly increased as a result of Western technological and economic sanctions on Russia and the subsequent departure of Western companies from Russia, where they were previously providers of critical supplies,…
Supply Chain Control and Strategies to Reduce Operational Risk in Russian Extractive Industries Along the Northern Sea Route
Russian resource developers operating in remote parts of the Arctic have demonstrated over the past several years that it is feasible to extract natural resources throughout the year, and ship large quantities of raw materials with regular intervals from the Arctic to international markets; this despite very difficult operational conditions in the Arctic during both winter and spring. Several resource extraction projects are currently being imple…
Understanding exercise addiction, psychiatric characteristics and use of anabolic androgenic steroids among recreational athletes - An online survey study
BackgroundThe purpose of this paper was to explore maladaptive behaviors among physically active individuals, including exercise dependence and use of anabolic steroids. Both exercise addiction (EA) and use of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) correlate to high amounts of exercise and EA have been linked to eating disorders and other mental health problems.MethodsAn internet survey was spread through fitness-related social media. Inclusion crite…
Recent ship traffic and developing shipping trends on the Northern Sea Route—Policy implications for future arctic shipping
Information on ship traffic on the Northern Sea Route (NSR) has been lacking. Previous studies have analyzed transit shipping via the NSR, but no data has been available on the overall traffic volume (number of voyages) and the magnitude and characteristics of domestic and destination shipping. Information on shipping trends and the role of Russian and non-Russian shipping companies in ongoing shipping operations has been incomplete. This study p…
Ten Years of International Shipping on the Northern Sea Route
Analysis of detailed statistics shows remarkable fluctuations in the volume and composition of voyages on the Northern Sea Route (NSR) along the northern coast of Russia since international use began in 2010. There has been strong growth in destination shipping between the Arctic and ports outside the region, but transit shipping between the Pacific and the Atlantic has not experienced the growth many had anticipated. Explanations are found in in…
Problem Gambling in the Fitness World—A General Population Web Survey
The world of sports has a complex association to problem gambling, and the sparse research examining problem gambling in athletes has suggested an increased prevalence and particularly high male predominance. The present study aimed to study frequency and correlates of problem gambling in populations with moderate to high involvement in fitness or physical exercise. This is a self-selective online survey focusing on addictive behaviors in physica…
The influence of male migration on female resources, independence, and development in Gambian villages
This article examines how women's situations in three Gambian villages are influenced by men's migration to urban areas and abroad. It particularly explores the influence of men's migration on women's independence and power to make decisions, changes to the gender division of labour, the influence of migration on networks and resources in the household, and its impact on agriculture
At this point, the lichens in the trees are their only means of survival
The importance of land use history and its impact on ecological systems has recently been recognised, primarily because most 'natural areas' have been found to have experienced greater human interference than previously assumed. The extent of forest exploitation in pre-industrial times, especially by native people, has been consistently underestimated. In northern Sweden all the reindeer are herded by the native Sami people. During the winter, re…
