Governance hurdles for expansion of low trophic mariculture production in Sweden.

The study examines the governance of low trophic species mariculture (LTM) using Sweden as a case study. LTM, involving species such as seaweeds and mollusks, offers ecosystem services and nutritious foods. Despite its potential to contribute to blue growth and Sustainable Development Goals, LTM development in the EU and OECD countries has stagnated. A framework for mapping governance elements (institutions, structures, and processes) and analyzing governance objective (effective, equitable, responsive, and robust) was combined with surveys addressed to the private entrepreneurs in the sector. Analysis reveals ineffective institutions due to lack of updated legislation and guidance, resulting in ambiguous interpretations. Governance structures include multiple decision-making bodies without a clear coordination agency. Licensing processes were lengthy and costly for the private entrepreneurs, and the outcomes were uncertain. To support Sweden's blue bioeconomy, LTM governance requires policy integration, clearer direction, coordinated decision-making, and mechanisms for conflict resolution and learning.

Whispers of Wisdom: Exploring the Essence of Partandaan in the Suluk Indigenous Mediation

The Orang Suluk, who call themselves Tausug, have a deep history in the sea areas and are known for their strong cultural and political independence. Residing in the Sulu Archipelago and the northeastern coast of Borneo, they identify themselves by names such as Suluk, Anak Negeri, coastal people, sea people, indigenous maritime group, and Orang Asal Pesisir. Symbols are a part of the Suluk Indigenous Mediation (SIM) approach, which is still practiced on the east coast of Sabah, Malaysia. The techniques mentioned are organic to the Adat (customs) of the Suluk passed down from their forefathers. This study discusses the essence of partandaan (symbols) found in SIM practices of the Suluk mediators in the said geographical area. Five expert informants in Semporna, Lahad Datu, and Sandakan shared their wisdom, experience, and interpretation of the SIM during the in-depth interviews as empirical data. The researchers also did library work to collect secondary data. Employing Hewitt’s Symbolic Interactionism (2002), findings revealed that objects, social acts, and language carry symbols that are meaningful to the life of the Suluk. They influence the thinking of the Tausug, maintain the balance and harmony of their day-to-day life, and crystalize the vision of peace, understanding, and forgiveness. Indeed, symbols are fruitful tools for successful culturally and religiously sensitive mediation. The study highlights the significance of symbols in Suluk Indigenous Mediation, suggesting further exploration of cultural variations and the potential integration of symbolic elements into conflict resolution mechanisms.

Implikasi Penerapan Hukum Pidana Adat dalam Pasal 2 KUHP terhadap Asas Legalitas dalam Sistem Hukum Pidana Indonesia

This research discusses customary criminal law in Article 2 of Indonesia's new Criminal Code (KUHP), which reflects the country's social and cultural diversity. Customary criminal law, with its unique characteristics rooted in the values and social norms of indigenous communities, offers a different approach to conflict resolution compared to formal criminal law. It enriches the criminal justice system with aspects of restorative justice and creates space for the recognition of living law within society. However, this integration poses challenges, particularly regarding legal certainty and the principle of legality, considering that customary criminal law is often unwritten and variable. The method used is normative, involving legal research conducted through the study of literature or secondary data. The research is descriptive-analytical, focusing on the existence of customary law within national criminal law. Using a qualitative juridical approach, the analysis is based on legal principles and norms, studying legislation, literature, and scholarly writings. This study shows that the recognition of customary criminal law in Article 2 of the new Criminal Code presents challenges and opportunities for Indonesia's criminal justice system. This integration supports restorative justice and reflects the country's cultural diversity, but it also requires careful handling of legal certainty and the principle of legality. The need for clear conflict resolution mechanisms and additional regulations is crucial to maintaining a balance between customary legal traditions and the requirements of modern criminal law.

Enhancing Decision Quality in Multi-Criteria Decision Making through CISDAC-WSM Algorithm

This paper introduces CISDAC-WSM, an innovative extension of the Weighted Sum Method (WSM) within the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) framework. CISDAC-WSM integrates principles from Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to enhance decision outcomes by identifying the Most Significant Discriminating Axes. The algorithm operates under the assumption that alternative rankings should exhibit a monotonic trend in the scores of the Most Significant Discriminating Axes. In addition to leveraging PCA, CISDAC-WSM introduces an interval-based conflict resolution mechanism for alternatives with similar rankings. Unlike traditional outranking algorithms like PROMETHEE, CISDAC-WSM focuses on comparing each alternative only with those ranked superior, resulting in more targeted evaluations. Empirical comparisons and performance evaluations demonstrate that CISDAC-WSM consistently outperforms existing MCDM algorithms. Through its emphasis on identifying the Most Significant Discriminating Axes and the innovative conflict resolution strategy, the algorithm showcases enhanced decision-making capabilities and efficiency. While CISDAC-WSM is an extension rather than an entirely new algorithm, its contributions lie in refining established methods, incorporating PCA insights, and offering a more localized approach to outranking. This makes it a promising advancement in the field of MCDM, presenting a refined and innovative technique for achieving more informed and effective decision outcomes across various domains.

Which factors affect the repair for loss of social trust after public health emergency? An approach integrating 2-tuple linguistic WINGS and regret theory

Trust is generally regarded as the vital social capital for a country's economic growth, reducing transaction costs and promoting economic development. However, problematic vaccine events, a kind of public health emergency, often incur the serious loss of social trust. And it is necessary to systematically analyze the factors affecting the repair for loss of social trust and how to repair. Thus, we propose a new systematical analysis method integrated Weighted Influence Non-linear Gauge System (WINGS) and regret theory under 2-tuple linguistic environment in this paper. Firstly, considering the difference between experts’ psychological expectation and real evaluation, a modified utility function of regret theory with 2-tuple linguistic information is proposed. Then, due to the different interests, knowledge, social status, etc. of experts, an integrated approach based on conflict resolution mechanism and Heronian mean operation is presented to aggregate cause-effect relationship information from them. Thirdly, to analyze the main factors affecting the repair for loss of social trust, a novel method based on 2-tuple linguistic WINGS is put forward. Last but not least, the Changsheng Changchun vaccine event is utilized as an example to demonstrate practicality of the proposed method. And some sensitivity analyses and comparation analyses are also given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Finally, the corresponding paths to the repair for loss of social trust are given.

Legal Empowering the Saniri: A Pillar of Harmony in Post-Conflict Ambon

Due to the lasting impact of the previous authoritarian system, decentralization has yet to reinstate Ambon's customary law-based governance model fully. However, it was formally acknowledged by the national and Ambon City's regional legislation. This article examines the need to empower Saniri, a quasi-governmental body in a traditional village with close ties to underprivileged groups, in conflict resolution services in Ambon. Data was collected through a literature study of historical sources from the nineteenth century and then analyzed based on qualitative field research. Extensive interviews were conducted based on snowball and purposive samplings. Results from the field study were subsequently discovered and deliberated through Focus Group Discussions. It suggests that the current political landscape is permissive to empower Saniri in conflict resolution mechanisms. Therefore, the legal and political efforts must be sufficient to accommodate Saniri's character and support its contribution to post-conflict reconciliation. More attention is required to empower Saniri legally and politically in a manner consistent with its nature to maximize its role as a harmonizing medium.

Leveraging Conflict to Bridge Cognitive Reasoning and Generative Algorithms

Autonomous agents require the ability to identify and adapt to unexpected conditions. Real-world environments are rarely stationary, making it problematic for agents operating in such environments to learn efficient policies. There is therefore a need for a general framework capable of detecting when an agent has encountered novel conditions, and determining how it should adjust its actions. In this position paper we propose a framework that couples cognitive reasoning and generative algorithms by leveraging conflict detection to adjust to unexpected dynamics. Specifically, we propose that a metacognitive conflict resolution mechanism is necessary; such a mechanism would balance the use of commonsense and deliberative reasoning to allow the agent to navigate novel conditions.

The early emergence of ombuds systems in Japanese science universities

Abstract Ombuds systems in higher education institutes have become increasingly commonplace in North America and Europe, yet there remains a dearth of studies that examine dispute resolution systems in Asia. This article examines the case of Japan, a veritable technology powerhouse that adopted its first organizational ombuds offices in 2019 and 2021 at two leading science universities: Okinawa Institute of Technology and Kyushu Institute of Technology. We assess why these were established, how the change came about, and with what remit the offices are entrusted. We find that policy transfer from abroad occurred in both cases, yet with considerably different degrees of obligation and volitional lesson-drawing, and to considerably different ends. Additionally, policy entrepreneurs played key roles in agenda setting and institutionalization. Nearly all interviewees in this study raised the issue of gender harassment as an enduring challenge for which new conflict resolution mechanisms are needed. The two newly introduced ombuds offices therefore represent one possible model for leveling inequalities in the science landscape.
