This book explores the challenges facing food security,
sustainability, sovereignty, and supply chains in the Arctic, with
a specific focus on Indigenous Peoples. Offering multidisciplinary
insights and with a particular focus on populations in the European
High North region, the book highlights the importance of accessible
and sustainable traditional foods for the dietary needs of local
and Indigenous Peoples. It focuses on foods and natural products
that are unique to this region and considers how they play a
significant role towards food security and sovereignty. The book
captures the tremendous complexity facing populations here as they
strive to maintain sustainable food systems - both subsistent and
commercial - and regain sovereignty over traditional food
production policies. A range of issues are explored including food
contamination risks, due to increasing human activities in the
region, such as mining, to changing livelihoods and gender roles in
the maintenance of traditional food security and sovereignty. The
book also considers processing methods that combine indigenous and
traditional knowledge to convert the traditional foods, that are
harvested and hunted, into local foods. This book offers a broader
understanding of food security and sovereignty and will be of
interest to academics, scholars and policy makers working in food
studies; geography and environmental studies; agricultural studies;
sociology; anthropology; political science; health studies and
biology.
The Arctic-Barents Region is facing numerous pressures from a
variety of sources, including the effect of environmental changes
and extractive industrial developments. The threats arising out of
these pressures result in human security challenges. This book
analyses the formation, and promotion, of societal security within
the context of the Arctic-Barents Region. It applies the human
security framework, which has increasingly gained currency at the
UN level since 1994 (UNDP), as a tool to provide answers to many
questions that face the Barents population today. The study
explores human security dimensions such as environmental security,
economic security, health, food, water, energy, communities,
political security and digital security in order to assess the
current challenges that the Barents population experiences today or
may encounter in the future. In doing so, the book develops a
comprehensive analysis of vulnerabilities, challenges and needs in
the Barents Region and provides recommendations for new strategies
to tackle insecurity and improve the wellbeing of both indigenous
and local communities. This book will be a valuable tool for
academics, policy-makers and students interested in environmental
and human security, sustainable development, environmental studies
and the Arctic and Barents Region in particular.

This book constructs a multidisciplinary approach to human security
questions related to digitalisation in the European High North i.e.
the northernmost areas of Scandinavia, Finland and North-Western
Russia. It challenges the mainstream conceptualisation of
cybersecurity and reconstructs it with the human being as the
referent object of security.

Food Security Governance in the Arctic-Barents Region provides a
multidisciplinary perspective on the major food security and safety
challenges faced in the Arctic region. The authors address existing
gaps in current knowledge of the coordination and implementation of
legal framework and policy that affects the Arctic. The volume is
unique in its focus on the Barents region, an area of northern
Europe containing Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. The region
has a population of approximately 5.2 million, including indigenous
and non-indigenous peoples. The authors offer a balanced and
systemic review of the role of traditional foods in this region,
along with an overview of the regulatory tools and institutions
that govern food security. Food security and safety in the
-Arctic-Barents region is connected to and impacted by
transformations from both inside and outside the area. Climate
change, globalization and human activities affect the availability,
accessibility, and affordability of food. The result of these
transformations has an impact on the food security and safety for
both indigenous and non-indigenous individuals and communities. The
authors, by highlighting these challenges, reveal the importance of
having harmonized policies and legal tools in place in order to
strengthen food security and safety in the Barents region. The book
forms part of the main outcome of the Academy of Finland's ongoing
project on Human Security as a promotional tool for societal
security in the Arctic: Addressing Multiple Vulnerability to its
Population with Specific Reference to the Barents Region
(HuSArctic). Researchers, policy makers, and other stakeholders
will find the book to be an important contribution to the promotion
of policies and strategies on food security.

Photochromic molecules attract much attention because of their
potential application to optoelectronic devices, such as optical
memory media, photooptical switching and display. Here we have
synthesized novel compounds dithia-dithienylethenophane derivatives
and investigated photochromic performance in solution. Our main
intention is restricted the rotation and fixation in a suitable
position of dithia-dithienyl-ethenophane by using bridge chain and
benzene ring for enhancement the photocyclization quantum yield.
Dithia-dithienylethenophane is the first example of a
dithienylethene bridged with a benzene ring. The
dithia-dithienylethenophane derivatives exhibited photochromic
properties upon irradiation with UV/VIS light. The distances
between the reactive carbon atoms of the energy minimized
structures of the open form were related to photocyclization
quantum yields and those of ortho, meta and para isomers are 3.96
A, 4.26 A, 4.68 A and 0.51, 0.42, 0.11, respectively. The thermal
stabilities of the ortho, meta and para isomer of
dithia-dithienylethenophane were examined at 100oC in toluene and
the both photoisomers of the ortho isomer were thermally stable."
