Unconstrained FDI Arctic Security

/reports/2017/unconstrained-fdi-arctic-security

The earth’s polar environments are often thought of as barren, desolate regions ruled by polar bears and covered in ice. And while certainly cold, the Arctic region is far from a valueless waste. Rich in mineral, metal, oil, and gas deposits, as well as vast, unexploited fisheries, the Arctic contains resources estimated to be worth many billions of dollars. About 70 percent of these resources fall within the exclusive economic zones (EEZs) of the Arctic littoral states: Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, and the United States. Much of history’s interest in the Arctic has been confined to the explorer’s curiosity and the admiral’s desk. However, we are entering a new era for the Arctic, in which interest in the region and its resources is at an all-time high. Outside states, such as China, have made substantial investments with the strategic intent to do more. The question remains whether the legal and regulatory environment is capable of dealing with significant new foreign direct investment while at the same time protecting the Arctic Ocean and surrounding environment.

that development takes place in a responsible manner and ensures that the states or regions that are the recipients of foreign direct investment (FDI) are capable of monitoring it, regulating the underlying

Analysis of Hearing Loss in Navy

/reports/2005/analysis-of-hearing-loss-in-navy

Permanent hearing loss is one of the most common disabilities among sailors. Although noise-induced injury is preventable by limiting exposure, it is generally irreversible once it occurs. The problem of reduced hearing function in active military personnel has been documented in several studies. For example, using data from 1995 to 1999 Bonhker, Page, et. al. (2002) showed a Significant Threshold Shift2 (STS) as high 25% in some Navy Personnel Ratings. Wolge- muth and Kopke (2000) performed an unpublished pilot study exam- ining STS/Permanent Threshold Shift (PTS) incidence among crew members of the Navy aircraft carrier USS Constellation after a six month deployment and found that 12% of the crew members tested exhibited STS/PTS. Similar findings of hearing loss among military personnel are discussed in Gwin and Lacroix (1985) for submariners, Wolgemuth, K.S., Lutrell, et. al. (1995) for Navy personnel, Ridgley and Wilkins (1991) for both Army and Navy personnel, and Jan (2000) for Navy enlisted. In 2004 the Veterans Administration (VA) spent $108 Million dollars in disability payments to 15.8 thousand former Navy personnel for hearing loss. This represents an increase of $65 Million in spending by the VA on Navy hearing disability payments since 1999.
