Since the beginning of 2000, the Geodetic Survey Division (GSD) of Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has been playing a leading role in the North American Reference Frame (NAREF) Working Group of the IAG Commision X Subcommission for North America in support of the International GPS Service (IGS) initiative to densify the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRC) in North America. Following the IGS distributed processing approach, NRCan has been computing three weekly regional solutions for Canada following IGS guidelines. Two such solutions are now being generated by GSD on regular basis for redundancy and quality control, one for a 27 station network using GIPSY-OASIS II software and the other for a 65 station network using the BERNESE GPS Software.

Someone once claimed that every person is a citizen of two countries: of their own, and of the United States of America. This is obvious hyperbole, perhaps written when Europeans were even more fascinated by America’s political ex-periment, economic expansion, and population growth than by its popular cul-ture. Peoples the world over do not automatically identify with the United States; in fact, many define themselves in opposition to it. The article first ex-amines some primary political powers in American politics, and then traces certain distinct philosophies as responsible for affecting perspectives on centralized government, socioeconomic affairs, foreign policy, and socio-cultural issues.

Cybersecurity has been an important developing subject for International Relations as a result of the ever-evolving world, much influenced by technological innovation. Since the end of the Cold War, security analysis has been regionalised and has examined cooperation among neighbours in order to address common problems. However, classic approaches to security within the discipline are deemed insufficient in the wake of new vulnerabilities from cyberspace. In order to put cybersecurity on the agenda for the region comprised by Mexico, the United States, and Canada - and in order to understand the possibilities of a cybersecurity zone in North America this article uses the Regional Security Complex Theory to make a proposal for a North American Cybersecurity Complex. Based on the opportunities offered by the new United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), the means for such a complex are explained.

The article presents selected aspects of Polish higher education in North America as reported in the columns of the Polish émigré newspapers „Dziennik Polski” („Polish Daily”) and „Dziennik Polski i Dziennik Żołnierza” („Polish Daily and Soldier’s Daily”), which have been published in the UK since 1941. Among other things, information was published about the preparations for Copernicus Days in the USA. Articles about all phenomena serving the manifestation and propagation of Polish academic (Fundacja Kościuszkowska, Polski Instytut Naukowy w Nowym Jorku, Instytut im. Józefa Piłsudskiego, Instytut Polski w Chicago) and cultural (Polski Instytut Sztuki i Nauki w Nowym Jorku) achievements in the USA were published, as well pieces on actions undertaken to sustain Polish education and keep Polish language in schools and universities. Activities of the Polish Studies Chair at Columbia University in New York were reported on regularly, including a scandal regarding the university accepting a dotation from the communist government in Warsaw, which resulted in the resignation of Arthur Prudden Coleman in protest in 1948.

This study focuses on changes in British colonial policy and politics after the Seven Years’ War in North America. It deals primarily with the transformation of British economic policy towards its colonies. After the Seven Years’ War, the United Kingdom sought funds to strengthen defence of the newly acquired territories in North America. In 1764 the British parliament approved of the Sugar Act that tightened the customs service in America. The money raised by this law should have gone to the protection of the British Empire in North America. The study analyses the reasons for the transformation of British politics after the Seven Years’ War, as well as the impact of this policy on the relation between the mother country and its colonies in North America.

NAFTA i Partnerstwo dla Bezpieczeństwa i Dobrobytu (SPP) są najważniejszymi inicjatywami integracyjnymi, które wyznaczają kierunek i formę nowego regionalizmu w Ameryce Północnej. Integracja północnoamerykańska ma odmienne źródła i specyfikę od europejskiej, czy azjatyckiej. Stany Zjednoczone jako mocarstwo globalne i regionalne decydują o strukturze wzajemnych relacji, które przybierają formę raczej „podwójnie dwustronną” niż wielostronną. Jako państwo najsilniejsze, USA preferują pełną autonomię działania i z niechęcią odnoszą się do możliwości pogłębienia integracji, czy budowania ponadnarodowej płaszczyzny współpracy. Przedsięwzięcia integracyjne w Ameryce Północnej, w które Stany Zjednoczone się zaangażowały, są traktowane jako narzędzia polityki regionalnej i służą ochronie ich interesów w najbliższym sąsiedztwie. Pomimo że w ramach NAFT-y kwestie gospodarcze dominują nad politycznymi, po ataku na WTC dołączyła do nich sprawa bezpieczeństwa. Utworzenie SPP, opartego na dwóch uzupełniających się filarach, miało na celu przekształcenie struktury wzajemnych relacji w trójstronną i zainicjowanie budowania wspólnoty północnoamerykańskiej.

NAFTA and Security and Prosperity Partnership are the most important regional integration initiatives which determine the way and form of a new regionalism in North America. The North American integration has different roots and characteristics from the European and Asian ones. The United States as the global and regional power determines this regionalism and makes it rather ‘duallybilateral’ than multilateral. Because of its hegemonic position, the US prefers full autonomy and is reluctant both to deepen the North American cooperation and build supranational grounds for such cooperation. Several integration initiatives may be considered the US regional policy tool to protect its peripheral interests. Although under NAFTA economic issues prevail political ones, after 9/11 security issues have dominated relations in this integration grouping. Security and Prosperity Partnership which combined two compatible issues was meant to make the relations trilateral and initiate the process of building a North American community.

We examined changes in the assemblage of bats in southern Lower Michigan, USA, using results of paired netting surveys conducted with similar techniques but separated by 12–26 years. Species diversity declined by 18–35% and evenness decreased by 0–35% throughout the region and in two specific areas. Changes in diversity and evenness were attributed primarily to decreases of 44% or more in relative abundance of the foliage-roosting eastern red bat (Lasiurus borealis). Number of L. borealis captured per net-night decreased 52–85%. The decline in relative abundance of L. borealis suggested by mist netting was supported by a 10-fold decrease over 38 years in the proportion of L. borealis that were tested for rabies by the state health laboratory. The apparent decline in L. borealis is especially alarming in light of the recent upsurge in use of wind power and the large number of L. borealis that are killed at such developments. We recommend that other previously completed surveys in eastern North America be duplicated, as one way of helping to confirm or refute the trend that we have identified.

Narrative songs with regards to the theme called ‘murdered sweetheart”, are part of a wider repertoire of murder ballads that circulated in England, Scotland, Ireland, and North America. It is through these Murdered Sweetheart Ballads (cf. Wilgus 1979), that the balladeer informed the listeners about the tragic consequences of non-standard behavior in certain social contexts, such as: pregnancy out of wedlock in patriarchal communities. Murder ballads that contain specific references to facts which occurred in real life (such as the representative case of the assassination of Naomi Wise in Randolph County, back in 1808) passed mainly (through not only) in oral music contexts; despite the transient nature of the singing itself, the meanings behind certain verbal expressions were transmitted and finally preserved in sound recordings released from the early twentieth century onwards. These traditional patterns, that are related to the controversial imagery of women murdered by men and developed in both oral and written traditions, were gradually revised, transposed, and reinterpreted in popular culture by musicians who were engaged within the recording industry as well as filmmakers—each applying their own understanding with regards to this sensitive subject.

The distinctiveness of each extant North American subspecies of C. elaphus (Linnaeus, 1758) was tested using craniometric data. To provide a context for interpretation of these data, the distinctiveness of North American C. elaphus from Eurasian C. elaphus was reassessed from existing data and conclusions tested. Morphometry variations in size, shape, and sexual dimorphism of adult crania were analyzed using combined male-female and independent male and female principal component analyses. North American subspecies do not represent natural biogeogra- phic variation as earlier presumed. Posterior classification error was highest for subspecies, but was lowest for a set of 6 Operational Taxonomic Units that recognized C. elaphus-Olympic, C. e/apftus-northern California and Oregon, C. claphus-eastern Washington, C. elaphus-Rocky mountain and Cascade mountain, C, elaphus-Sas- katchewan and Manitoba, and C. elaphus-centra\ California. Males and females differed in their sizes, shapes and affinities to other populations. Intracontinental differences in the kind and amount of sexual dimorphism reinforced the importance of measuring and contrasting male and female features in phylogeographic analyses. Use of existing nomenclature as a blind guide for comparative systematica and ecology and for conservation undermines the quality of research and conservation for C. elaphus in North America. Previous arguments for a single-species circumgiobal cline do not take into account sexual dimorphism, behavior and reproduction. Major intercontinental differences do exist between clinal extremes in behavior, in cranial size and sexual dimorphism in addition to semilethal Fi hybridization. All suggest C. elaphus and North American Cervus are different species. Whether the transition is smooth, whether stepped transitions occur, and whether "canadensis" correctly represents the species' distribution need verification.

Triplax califomica LeConte and T. antica LeConte are found to be conspecific. Both populations represent distinct, well-defined subspecies with a narrow zone where the populations freely interbreed. Data regarding fungal host relationships of this species indicate a broader host range for the adults than is known for other North American Triplax.
