Abstract:
Abstract Adult Mariana Common Moorhens (Gallinula chloropus guami) were radio-marked on Guam (n = 25) and Saipan (n = 18) to determine home range, inter- and intraseasonal space use, and movement patterns among the Mariana Islands of Guam, Saipan, Tinian, and Rota. Birds were tracked throughout the dry and wet seasons in 2000 and 2001. During the dry season, no interisland movements were detected and most birds remained at a single wetland. However, some radio-marked adults on Guam (48%) and Saipan (11%) dispersed from their capture site to other wetland sites. Inter-and intraisland movements increased during the wet season. Interisland movement from Saipan to Tinian occurred at the onset of the wet season, although no birds were observed moving off Guam. Radio-marked adults on Guam (71%) and Saipan (70%) dispersed from their capture site to other wetlands. On Guam, moorhens moved farther in the wet season than the dry season. During the wet season frequency of movement among sites was inversely proportional to the average distance between wetlands. Guam moorhens used rivers more often during the wet season. Among nine dispersing adult moorhens captured during the wet season on Fena Reservoir, Guam, 67% returned to Fena Reservoir during the 2001 dry season. Home-range estimates on Guam averaged 3.1 ± 4.8 ha (SD) and did not differ significantly between sexes or seasons. However, during the dry season, females exhibited significantly smaller mean core areas than males. Movimientos Estacionales y Rango de Hogar de Gallinula chloropus guami Resumen. Individuos adultos de Gallinula chloropus guami fueron marcados con radio collares en Guam (n = 25) y Saipan (n = 18) para determinar el rango de hogar, el uso del espacio entre y dentro de las estaciones, y los patrones de movimiento entre las Islas Mariana de Guam, Saipan, Tinian y Rota. Las aves fueron seguidas durante las estaciones seca y húmeda de 2000 y 2001. Durante la estación seca, no se detectaron movimientos entre islas y la mayoría de las aves permanecieron en un solo humedal. Sin embargo, los adultos con radio-collares en Guam (48%) y Saipan (11%) se dispersaron desde sus sitios de captura hacia otros humedales. Los movimientos entre y dentro de las islas incrementaron durante la estación húmeda. Los movimientos entre islas desde Saipan hacia Tinian se produjeron al comienzo de la estación húmeda, aunque no se observaron aves saliendo de Guam. Los adultos con radio-collares en Guam (71%) y Saipan (70%) se dispersaron desde sus sitios de captura hacia otros humedales. En Guam, los individuos de G. c. guami se movieron más lejos durante la estación húmeda que durante la estación seca. Durante la estación húmeda, la frecuencia de movimientos entre sitios fue inversamente proporcional a la distancia promedio entre humedales. Los individuos de G. c. guami de Guam utilizaron los ríos con más frecuencia durante la estación húmeda. De nueve adultos capturados dispersándose en Fena Reservoir, Guam, durante la estación húmeda, 67% regresaron a Fena Reservoir durante la estación seca de 2001. Las estimaciones de rango de hogar en Guam promediaron 3.1 ± 4.8 ha (DE) y no difirieron significativamente entre sexos o estaciones. Sin embargo, durante la estación seca, las hembras tuvieron áreas núcleo significativamente menores que los machos.

Abstract:
Change of Scenery: The Case of from UNINCORPORATED TERRITORY [Lukao] by Craig Santos Perez ABSTRACT: This study focuses on Craig Santos Perez, author of the tetralogy from Unincorporated Territory (1. [Hacha], 2. [Saina], 3. [Guma’] et 4. [Lukao]). In this work, Perez attempts to decode a place for the territory of Guam—this almost forgotten island, quasi-erased from maps, whose existence has been troubled a series of colonizations (Spainish, Japanese, American). The cultural disorientation (for the author, a brutal uprooting by the erasure of his ancestral culture and language as well as the destruction of the natural environment on his island) is born out of the radical mutation of this « home » beginning with the name of the place itself : Guam, Guma, Guåhan... Taking as example for this study from Unincorporated Territory [Lukao], the final book in Perez’s tetralogy, the following article explores the elements which connect the real (autobiographical) landscapes of Guam and d’O’ahu in Hawaii to the imaginary landscapes (metaphoric, mythic and poetic) in order to demonstrate how this book, in its resistance to cultural displacement and colonialism for its author creates a kind of displacement (linguistic, cultural) for its readers. Through a process of back and forth (in time and languages), we find ourselves, assemble, reassemble, come back together. RÉSUMÉ : Cette étude se porte sur Craig Santos Perez, l’auteur de la tétralogie from Unincorporated Territory (1. [Hacha], 2. [Saina], 3. [Guma’] et 4. [Lukao]). Dans cette œuvre, Perez tente de déchiffrer la place pour le territoire de Guam—cette île qui demeure quasi-oubliée, effacée du monde et qui a été colonisé à plusieurs reprises. Le dépaysement (qui représente pour l’auteur un déracinement brutal de par l’effacement de sa culture d’origine et la destruction de la nature) est né de la mutation radicale de ce « chez lui », en commençant par le nom même du lieu : Guam, Guma, Guåhan... En étudiant from Unincorporated Territory [Lukao], le dernier livre de la tétralogie de Perez, l’article suivant explore les différents aspects qui relient les paysages réels (autobiographiques) de Guam et d’O’ahu à Hawaii aux paysages imaginaires (métaphoriques, mythiques et poétiques) pour montrer comment cette œuvre qui lutte contre le dépaysement (linguistique et culturel) pour son auteur, crée un dépaysement pour son lecteur. Par un processus de va et vient, on se retrouve, se rassemble, ensemble

Abstract:
Eight of 11 native forest bird species on Guam were extirpated by the introduction of the Brown Tree Snake Boiga irregularis. Emergency measures necessary to rescue the Guam subspecies of Micronesian Kingfisher Halcyon cinnamomina cinnamomina from extinction involved translocation and captive breeding in American mainland zoos. Soon after the establishment of a captive breeding population, the kingfisher demonstrated a high degree of susceptibility to avian tuberculosis (ATB), a disease that proved to be a major threat to the preservation of the species. The cause of ATB is Mycobacterium avium which produces a prolonged course of infection in kingfishers and other birds. Kingfishers infected with M. avium are difficult to detect until late in the course of the disease, thereby potentially posing a risk of transmitting ATB to the Guam captive population of Guam Rails Gallirallus owstoni, if kingfishers are repatriated. M. avium is considered to be ubiquitous in nature. However, there are no reported mortalities due to ATB in any bird species on Guam. In this study, six of twenty-one cultures yielded Mycobacterium spp., two of which were further identified as M. avium. Since this study demonstrates that M. avium already exists on Guam, repatriating kingfishers to Guam poses no threat of introducing a new pathological agent to the island's ecosystem. Strict quarantine procedures along with rigorous animal husbandry protocols should minimize risks of repatriating infected kingfishers to Guam, and prevent transmission of ATB to the captive population of Guam Rails and other bird populations on Guam.

Abstract:
The ODED-GUAM Organization for Democracy and Economic Development (GUAM) was originated more than two decades ago as a friendly cooperative forum of a few post-Soviet countries committed to Euro-Atlanticism. In 2006 the grouping was transformed into a full-fledged international organization bringing together Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and Moldova. Notwithstanding the geostrategic role of cooperation within GUAM in terms of energy security, protracted conflicts, trade links and other key policy areas, the organization has been recurrently failing to create a common front for its member states. It has been mostly with the recent actualization of ambitious trade and transportation projects to engage the four states that GUAM started to “return to the big game” and attract significant attention from governments and scholars. This study explores the political and economic significance of international transport routes within the framework of intergovernmental relations exampling the origins and evolution, strengths and weaknesses of the GUAM Transport Corridor (GUAM TC) project, and also some insights on reingovirating the transport cooperation agenda in the GUAM region.

Abstract:
Object: A systematic analysis of the problems of state management of customs policy within GUAM as a specific regional association. Methodology: In the article there has been researched some problems that are associated with the implementation of state management of customs policy within the framework of GUAM. At the same time, there has been taken into the attention that the main problem is the underdevelopment of the regulatory framework within the framework of GUAM. Also it has been established that the national legislation of the GUAM member states in this area is not unified. The article justifies some possible solutions to their problems. Results: The problems of state management of customs policy within the framework of GUAM are actually and significant both for the contemporary science of governmental management and for the specific law enforcement practice. Scientific novelty: The improvement of the organization legal framework for the activities of bodies, which performs state customs management. Practical significance: It is believed that the process of state influence on customs policy within the framework of GUAM needs to be improved. First of all, it is possible to adopt a single legal act of GUAM in the field of customs regulation in general. At the same time, this document may take the form of the Customs Code, as is already typical of some integration structures in the former post-Soviet space, and the agreement, declaration.

Abstract:
Abstract This article examines the language legislation of the United States territory of Guam as stated in the Organic Act of Guam (1950) and its legal statutes. The article seeks to offer suggestions about how the quality of this language legislation might be improved. As in a few states in the United States (i.e., Hawaii, Louisiana, and New Mexico), Guam established linguistic laws with provisions that protect the language rights of Chamorro speakers, the native population of Guam, especially in the areas of education and language standardization. In spite of the impressive array of language laws enacted by Guam’s legislature to teach Chamorro language and culture in the schools for more than half a century, the use of English is increasing, while that of Chamorro continues to shrink in Guam, which may be due to a lack of buy-in by the indigenous Chamorro population with respect to the importance of expanding the use of this language for the purpose of maintaining a modern-day Chamorro identity.

Abstract:
This research aims to investigate the effects that climate change has on the people of Guam. The earth's atmosphere will change over the next few decades, which will affect many areas of Guam life. Sea levels are rising, the air and ocean are getting warmer, and the ocean's acidity is increasing. Guam's coral reef ecosystems are predicted to be destroyed or severely damaged by these changes, which will also increase the flooding and typhoons causing damage, decrease the amount of freshwater available during the dry season, and increase the frequency of uncomfortable high air temperatures. This project explores questions such as: How is Guam being impacted by climate change? What damages did Typhoon Mawar of 2023 cause to Guam in aspects of people’s life? We investigated more on the detailed information on : Climate Change and Coral Loss, Tropical Storms, Rising Sea Level and Coastal Flooding, Rainfall and Water Supplies, Ocean Pollution Levels, Inland Plants and Animals, and Human Health of Guam.

Abstract:
The Mariana Crow, or Åga (Corvus kubaryi), is a critically endangered species (IUCN -International Union for Conservation of Nature), endemic to the islands of Guam and Rota in the Mariana Archipelago. It is locally extinct on Guam, and numbers have declined dramatically on Rota to a historical low of less than 55 breeding pairs throughout the island in 2013. Because of its extirpation on Guam and population decline on Rota, it is of critical importance to assess the genetic variation among individuals to assist ongoing recovery efforts. We conducted a population genomics analysis comparing the Guam and Rota populations and studied the genetic structure of the Rota population. We used blood samples from five birds from Guam and 78 birds from Rota. We identified 145,552 candidate single nucleotide variants (SNVs) from a genome sequence of an individual from Rota and selected a subset of these to develop an oligonucleotide in-solution capture assay. The Guam and Rota populations were genetically differentiated from each other. Crow populations sampled broadly across their range on Rota showed significant genetic structuring – a surprising result given the small size of this island and the good flight capabilities of the species. Knowledge of its genetic structure will help improve management strategies to help with its recovery.

Abstract:
The passage of nitrate nitrogen through three Guam soils was investigated using six different fertilizers. Controlled release and water soluble forms were applied to soils in polycarbonate pots 11cm in diameter. Controls received no fertilizer application. Soil types used were Yigo silty clay and Guam cobbly clay loam, from northern Guam, and Akina silty clay from southern Guam. All pots were exposed to ambient temperature and humidity but were shielded from direct sunlight and rain. All were kept near field capacity by daily applications of distilled water. Leachate was collected weekly for three months and measured using an ion selective electrode. Initial results suggest that nitrate levels were primarily affected by soil type rather than the type of fertilizer applied. Nitrate was invariably highest in Yigo silty clay, lowest in the Akina silty clay and intermediate in the Guam cobbly clay pots. Patterns of nitrate release were similar in the Yigo silty clay and Guam cobbly clay soils with peak values at the fourth and fifth week, 700ppm and 450 ppm respectively, then falling to 300ppm and 150ppm respectively by the sixth week. However, Akina silty clay soils gradually increased in nitrate to 120 ppm in the last two weeks of the experiment.

Abstract:
This paper replicates Glisson and Martin's (1980) study of social welfare organizations (SWOs) in St. Louis, Missouri (U.S.A.), with data from two samples of Pacific Island cultures, Guam and Oahu, Hawaii. We test the culture-free vs. culture-specific arguments about the effects of societal culture on internal structure. Our structural dimensions are formalization and centralization. They are measured as perceptions (regime) of social service workers rather than form that is officially prescribed. As expected, Guam and Oahu SWOs are smaller and younger than those in St. Louis. Guam SWOs are the most formalized and centralized; Oahu SWOs do not differ structurally from those in St. Louis. Multivariate regression results show that culture/locale significantly predicts formalization (Guam SWOs are the most formal ized) and both culture/locale and size predict centralization. Significant interaction effects were discovered, prompting rejection of the culture-free argument: larger size leads to more formalization in Oahu and St. Louis but to less in Guam; higher average worker tenure leads to more centralization in St. Louis but to less in Oahu. Alternative interpretations and implications of the results are considered.

Abstract. Two different analysis methods; (1) mono-fractal analysis (based on Higuchi method) and (2) flicker noise spectroscopy, have been applied to the same ULF (frequency less than 10 Hz) electromagnetic data observed at Guam during 3 years including the 1993 August Guam earthquake. The results by these two methods are found to be very consistent with each other; that is, some precursory effects seem to start about 3 months before the earthquake. This gives us a strong support to the self-organizing critical process before the Guam earthquake.

Abstract:
This article explores how America’s mainline institutional media portrayed Guam, an unincorporated US territory in the Pacific Ocean that is home to important American military bases, in a time of heightened tensions between the United States and North Korea. Guamanians represent marginal racial ‘others’ who are nonetheless ensconced in a consequential part of the US military architecture. Using a combination of topic modelling and network analysis, our study analysed 2480 articles from 44 different mainstream newspapers in the United States between April 2017 and June 2018 in order to examine the contradictory depiction of an ‘other’ that is simultaneously foreign and domestic. Our results present evidence of a hegemonic portrayal of Guam as an intrinsic part of the US as well as a depiction of the threat to Guam as an attack on the US without acknowledging the marginality of Guam and its inhabitants in US politics.

Abstract:
The very uncommon alpheid shrimp Bermudacaris britayevi Anker, Poddoubtchenko & Marin, 2006, previously known only from the incomplete holotype from Nha Trang Bay, Vietnam, is recorded from Guam, Mariana Islands, extending its previously known distribution range into the oceanic islands of the western Pacific. The single specimen from Guam, an ovigerous female, was collected adjacent to a near-shore coral reef, on fine sand under a large piece of coral rubble, at a depth of about 10 m. This habitat is different from the collection data of the holotype, which was extracted from a burrow of unknown host on an intertidal sand-mud flat close to mangroves. Despite these ecological differences, the specimen from Guam corresponds to the holotype of B. britayevi in all diagnostic morphological characters and can be distinguished from the closely related B. australiensis Anker & Komai, 2004 and B. harti Anker & Iliffe, 2000. Since the holotype of B. britayevi was lacking one of the chelipeds, the complete specimen from Guam enables to complement the original description of the species. The stouter (= major) cheliped of the Guam specimen is illustrated to show a marked difference in the armature of the cheliped fingers, between the left and right cheliped. The colour pattern of B. britayevi, which was superficially described in the original description, is herein illustrated by photographs of the living individual. The relatively low number and large size of eggs in the Guam specimen of B. britayevi suggests an abbreviated larval development in this species.

Abstract:
(1) Background: Currently there are no cancer clinical trials in Guam, where CHamoru people suffer the highest rates of cancer mortality, and interest to do so is growing. This study investigated the knowledge and attitudes of Guam residents towards cancer clinical trial participation prior to implementation. (2) Methods: A telephone survey was developed, tested, and conducted among Guam resident adults, 18 years of age and older. Survey questions were summarized by descriptive statistics. Logistic regression models were used to investigate the associations between Guam residents’ demographics and their clinical trial knowledge and attitudes. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and associated 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. (3) Results: One hundred fifty-two people participated in the survey, most of whom were CHamoru (47.0%). Fifty-three percent had heard the term ‘clinical trial’; 73.7% would take part in a trial if they had cancer; and 59.9% believed they would receive good quality treatment from a trial offered in Guam. CHamoru were more likely than Whites to associate out-of-pocket expenses with clinical trial participation (aOR = 5.34, 95% CI = 1.68–17.00). Physician ethnicity was important to 30% of non-Whites and significantly associated with those who spoke a language other than English (aOR = 3.40, 95% CI = 1.29–8.95). Most people (65.0%) did not believe clinical trials participants were ‘guinea pigs’. (4) Conclusion: Though knowledge about cancer clinical trials is limited, attitudes were primarily positive towards participating in cancer clinical trials offered in Guam. Future delivery of cancer clinical trials will benefit from identifying potential barriers to recruitment and adopting an approach suited to Guam’s population.

Abstract:
Previous studies have suggested that reproduction in the brown treesnake (Boiga irregularis) is reduced on Guam because of elevated stress hormones caused by limited food availability. This study examined the reproductive anatomy of male brown treesnakes on Guam over a 15-year period (1985–99) to determine whether the size at maturity and development of the testis and sexual segment of the kidney varied between years and to compare these data to those for snakes collected from the native range. On Guam, the average snout–vent length and body mass of B. irregularis has decreased from its high in 1985 and remained stable from 1989 to 1999. The snout–vent length at maturity was similar between years. Mean diameters of the seminiferous tubule and the sexual segment of the kidney were not significantly different between years. However, the number of sexual segment tubules hypertrophied per snake varied greatly. Snakes from the native range matured at smaller snout–vent lengths and had significantly more hypertrophied sexual segment tubules per kidney than populations on Guam. These data suggest that elevated plasma levels of corticosterone, potentially due to an increase in male–male interactions as a result the explosive population growth experienced on Guam, may be negatively influencing male reproduction.

Abstract:
An unincorporated Pacific Island territory of the United States, Guam has been under American rule since 1 898. While proudly “Chamorro,” the descendants of indigenous islanders have been American citizens since 1 950. U.S. foreign policy, Americanization of island institutions, immigration flows from Asia and Micronesia, and economic uncertainty present challenges to the perpetuation of Chamorro culture-a syncretic blend of indigenous, Spanish, and American influences that has endured through centuries of foreign domination. As a gateway from the East to the United States and a frequent destination for Micronesian immigrants from the Compacts of Free Association, Guam regularly receives immigrants from Asia and other Micronesian islands. Many immigrants arrive on Guam to fill labor shortages as professionals or construction workers, while others arrive with limited resources and skills that don't easily transfer across cultures. Adding to this mix, a major U.S. military build-up is underway to transform Guam into a forward base in the Pacific. This article provides a case study of Guam through an overview of historical influences on Chamorro culture, a description of the island's contemporary multicultural society, and a discussion of current geopolitical and social forces impacting Chamorro culture in the land “where America's day begins.”

Abstract:
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States and is linked to several cancers. In Guam, the HPV vaccination rate falls short of the National Healthy People 2030 goal. Only half of eligible Guam teens have received the HPV vaccination series. Additionally, research on Guam HPV vaccination is limited. A cross-sectional survey was conducted, and a representative sample of Guam residents (n=775) was surveyed to examine their knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, practices regarding HPV, and barriers to HPV vaccination. Aggregated scores were calculated for these scale items: attitude, knowledge, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control regarding HPV. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the means of the scores and check for significant differences. Binary logistic regression helped to identify significant predictors of HPV vaccination among respondents with children. Significant differences were found for sex, education, income, and ethnicity. Women and those with higher education and income demonstrated higher positive attitudes and knowledge about HPV vaccination. Also, those with health insurance and those who were advised by their physician were more likely to get their children vaccinated. These results will guide the implementation of effective strategies for developing targeted behavioral and other appropriate interventions to increase HPV vaccination in Guam.

Abstract:
The recent lowering of some obstacles to the migration of Micronesians to Guam has resulted in a sudden influx of migrants. In a short time, Guam has experienced many of the impacts associated with large scale migration on population growth, provision of services and the issue of ethnic assimilation. An extensive demographic profile of newly settled migrants is presented, followed by a discussion of future implications. Micronesian migration is expected to grow, encouraging the formation of nucleated ethnic communities, a sizeable working class, and social costs and potential ethnic conflict that will draw increasing attention from the Guam government.

Guam is the U.S. unincorporated territory and military (base), which lies in the western part of the Pacific Islands. Guam serves as the lynchpin for the U.S. influence in the Pacific, is became the flashpoint between two nuclear powers of the region i.e. United States of America and China, due to its strategic geopolitical position. Nevertheless, Guam remained a conducive place for the U.S. naval basing as well as the territory to provide shorten and strategic edge for Washington to sustain her hegemony and influence in the region. The aim of this research paper is that, could the U.S. sustain her hold over Guam while facing the Chinese mesmerizing and clear empirical indicators of its military forces, particularly its navy, air force, missile technology, and its rapidly expanding marine corps, as the arbiters of a new global order—one that stands opposed to U.S. national interests and threat to its close allies in the region.

Abstract:
The article aims to substantiate the relationship between the components of corporate social responsibility in business (CSR) during the economic integration of the GUAM member countries on the principles of sustainable development. We used the questioning to determine the structural elements of CSR of the GUAM member countries and econometrically analyzed the level of development of CSR for each country. The GUAM countries' hierarchical structure of CSR business was established using the Granger causality test and the graph method. This study proves that in times of crisis, along with economic responsibility, a fundamental role is played by national responsibility in ensuring justice, equality, and peace (for Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Moldova). And in the conditions of a full-scale war (in the example of Ukraine), national responsibility, responsibility in ensuring justice and equality, and peace are more significant than economic responsibility. The conclusions obtained are practical and may help develop strategies for effective economic cooperation between countries within the framework of GUAM.
