Food security, human health, and economy: a holistic approach to sustainable regulation

Purpose. The research aims to formulate recommendations for sustainable food security regulation taking into account the agriculture intensification’s impact on public health, health-associated economic loss, and regional variations of these effects.
 Methodology / approach. The impact of agricultural intensification on public health was analysed using national and regional (climate zones) data on cancer cases per 100,000 population and mineral fertiliser application per hectare of sown area from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine for 2010–2019. Regression analyses were performed using GRETL 2022c, employing OLS and ARMAX models. Additionally, health-related economic losses from contaminated food consumption in 2020 were estimated based on regional environmental damage assessments and data on environmental damage structure. These assessments informed and guided the suggestions of an organisational and economic framework essential for sustainable food security regulation.
 Results. Based on global research experiences, we identified a notable positive correlation between cancer morbidity and the application of mineral fertilisers in Ukraine, both on a national scale and within four distinct natural geographical zones. These findings highlight the imperative to reconceptualise the notion of food security by incorporating the dimension of human health. Given the eco-destructive nature of the agricultural environment and the socio-ecological and economic factors influencing public health, we articulate the structural and functional elements of an organisational and economic framework essential for the sustainable regulation of food security.
 Originality / scientific novelty. The research results underscore the need to redefine the concept of food security to encompass the dimension of human health. Moreover, it evaluates the economic losses related to health state resulting from consuming contaminated food across various natural and climatic zones. It demonstrates that a harmonious coexistence of food security objectives and the preservation of human health can be achieved by developing a suitable organisational and economic framework for sustainable food security regulation.
 Practical value / implications. The comprehensive assessment of environmental and economic damage to public health caused by contaminated food consumption, considering regional contexts and natural geographical zones, enables determining the scale of environmental, economic and medical risks and, thus, making adequate and optimal management decisions in sustainable food security regulation based on ecologisation of agricultural production.

Using res judicata to resolve jurisdictional conflicts between WTO and regional trade agreements’ dispute settlement mechanisms

The WTO has a renowned dispute settlement body, distinguished from other dispute settlement bodies by its compulsory and exclusive jurisdiction. However, regional trade agreements provide for rights and obligations similar to those guaranteed by the WTO thus, causing material jurisdictional overlaps between the WTO institutions and regional dispute resolution institutions. Potentially, a State aggrieved by measures that contravene rights or obligations within such overlaps has two alternative fora for dispute resolution. Where the regional trade agreement dispute resolution mechanism resolves the dispute first, the compulsory and exclusive nature of the WTO jurisdiction allows the matter to be re-determined at the WTO level, causing jurisdictional conflicts and duplicative proceedings. Although it is an established principle in customary international law, res judicata is not provided in any of the instruments guiding the jurisdiction of the WTO dispute settlement system. The jurisprudence of WTO Panels and the Appellate Body are also thin on this matter. Seemingly, the inclination has been to exercise the compulsory and exclusive jurisdiction, without regard to other existing fora. This paper therefore suggests clear recommendations to be employed in widening the existing WTO jurisprudence on res judicata as a solution to jurisdictional conflicts. In doing so, this paper further acknowledges the possible criticisms against res judicata in WTO dispute settlement and provides possible solutions to these challenges to ensure the peaceful and harmonious coexistence of the WTO dispute settlement mechanisms vis-à-vis those of regional trade agreements. Using the South American region as an example, this paper enunciates the jurisdictional overlaps and proposes the application of res judicata by the WTO dispute settlement mechanisms in judicial restraint

Construction of an Ecological Security Pattern in Rapidly Urbanizing Areas Based on Ecosystem Sustainability, Stability, and Integrity

The escalating pace of urbanization and human activities presents formidable challenges to landuse patterns and ecological environments. Achieving a harmonious coexistence between humans and nature of high quality has emerged as a global imperative. Constructing an ecological security pattern has become an essential approach to mitigating the adverse ecological impacts of urban sprawl, safeguarding human well-being, and promoting the healthy development of ecosystems. Focusing on ecosystem sustainability, stability, and integrity, this study constructed the ecological security pattern in rapidly urbanizing areas, emphasizing achieving a well-balanced integration of urban expansion and ecological preservation. Ecological sources were identified by an evaluation system of “ecosystem service function–ecological sensitivity–landscape connectivity”. Resistance surfaces were constructed by integrating natural and human factors. Ecological corridors and nodes were extracted by methods such as the minimum cumulative resistance and gravity models. Taking Nanchang City as an example, the results show that there were 15 ecological sources, primarily woodland, displaying a distinct “island” phenomenon. Additionally, there were 41 ecological corridors with a combined length of 2170.54 km, exhibiting a dense distribution in the southwest and a sparse distribution in the northeast. The city was found to encompass 122 ecological nodes, predominantly situated along the corridors near the ecological sources, indicating a strong spatial aggregation pattern. An optimized ecological security pattern of “one ring, two belts, three zones, and multiple nodes” was proposed for synergizing ecological protection, restoration, and rapid urbanizing.

The well-living paradigm: reimagining quality of life in our turbulent world

This article introduces the concept of ‘well-living’ as a transformative framework for reimagining quality of life in the face of current global socio-ecological challenges. Through a reflexive theoretical meta-analysis, it critically examines mainstream and reformist well-being discourses while drawing inspiration from transformative perspectives found in recent post-capitalist and indigenous movements. ‘Well-living’ is portrayed as both a civilizational endeavor and a multifaceted imperative, encompassing dimensions of creativity, liveability, conviviality, and alterity across various scales from individual to international contexts. Central to the ‘well-living’ paradigm are nine key qualities, including harmonious coexistence, aspirational foresight and purposefulness, solidarity, autonomy, authenticity, and integrity, thereby promoting an integrated approach to living in balance with oneself, others, and the natural world. Embracing ‘well-living’ as a goal and process can empower individuals and communities to challenge prevailing global capitalist paradigms, re-establish connections with the interconnected web of life, and strive for a more just, regenerative, and diverse world, accommodating multiple perspectives. Lastly, employing a 'commonist' perspective, the article outlines essential institutional and legislative-policy changes required to actualize the vision of 'well-living.'

Philosophy versus theology in medieval Islamic thought

The encounter of the medieval Muslims with Greek philosophy undeniably shaped the course of their philosophical and theological thought. This encounter led to the complex and contentious issue of ‘philosophy versus theology’. Medieval Muslim thinkers needed to develop a response to the issue of philosophy versus theology. The present article will first highlight the response of the Islamic theologians to their encounter with Greek philosophy in the form of three major trends in medieval Islamic theology: (1) strong opposition to the application of reason and rationalist approach to Islamic doctrines, and strict adherence to the actual text of the Qur’an and the Hadith, (2) the adoption of Greek philosophy, and the application of reason and rationalist approach to explain and defend Islamic religion and (3) acknowledging the significance of reason in exploring the matters related to the natural world but, at the same time, stressing the subordination of reason to revelation. This article will discuss Atharism, Muʿtazilism and Ashʿarism as the representatives of the first, second and third trends, respectively. The response of the medieval Islamic theologians to the issue of philosophy versus theology serves as a context in which medieval Muslim philosophers carried out their philosophy–theology debate. The article will proceed to show that some medieval Muslim philosophers, such as Abu Bakr Al-Razi, subordinated religion or revelation to philosophy or reason. Other medieval Muslim philosophers, such as Al-Ghazali, subordinated philosophy to theology. The third group of medieval Islamic philosophers represented by Alfarabi argued for the reconciliation and harmonious co-existence of philosophy and religion.Contribution: This article highlights the response of medieval Islamic theologians and philosophers to the issue of philosophy versus theology that was caused by their encounter with Greek philosophy.

Artificial Intelligence and Street Space Optimization in Green Cities: New Evidence from China

In the context of the green economy and sustainable urban development, the rapid expansion of urban construction has given rise to pressing public health concerns, notably environmental pollution and the increased prevalence of chronic illnesses linked to swift urbanization. These urban health issues are escalating, prompting significant attention to the concept of creating “healthy cities”. Meanwhile, the planning and design of urban street space have a far-reaching impact on urban residents’ quality of life and health. Urban planners are facing challenges and need to follow the principle of a green economy while meeting the needs of residents for public activities and adapting to motor vehicle traffic. This study explores the optimization of urban street space to promote the harmonious coexistence between people and cars. This study actively explores the relationship between health, urban environment, and social background, focusing on promoting the harmonious coexistence between people and vehicles, especially the optimization goal of sharing urban streets. The study’s main goal is to design a road that can meet the needs of citizens’ public activities and accommodate motor vehicles, which conforms to the principle of a green economy. To achieve this, geographic information system (GIS) technology and a genetic algorithm (GA) are employed to optimize shared urban street spaces. Among them, GIS tools are used for spatial simulation to evaluate the effect of different shared street space configurations. The urban shared street space is gradually optimized through GA’s selection, crossover, and mutation operations. Simulation experiments are conducted to determine the relationship between street space utilization and the elements of a healthy city, ultimately striving to identify the optimal design parameters for shared street spaces. The research results reveal that the urban street space is optimized from the three aspects of shared allocation of facilities resources, replacement of land use functions, and mixed layout of facilities, and the utilization rate of urban streets is finally ensured to reach 53.43%, fully assuming the essential functions of urban streets. This innovative approach bridges the gap between urban development and public health, offering valuable insights for sustainable urban space planning and enhanced living environments within the framework of the green economy.

Wilderness Ethics in the Anthropocene

Abstract The concept of wilderness has been deconstructed with the arrival of the age of Anthropocene, so the wilderness ethics of the Anthropocene was once ignored. But in fact, what has been deconstructed is only the “natural” wilderness as pure nature, not the “untrammeled” wilderness. In addition, the environmental system corresponding to the traditional wilderness concept still exists, and is still the closest to the original natural environmental system. There is a debate on how to treat this environmental system in the age of Anthropocene, so it is necessary to clarify the concept of wilderness in the Anthropocene and rebuild the wilderness ethics. The wilderness ethics of Anthropocene is a responsive one, which calls for both sides to interact and blend without denying the autonomy of both sides: On the one hand, we should establish a holistic view of harmonious coexistence between man and the wilderness, basing on the ideological basis provided by the Anthropocene to break the binary opposition between culture and nature. The view does not include a sacred order. On the other hand, we should affirm the autonomy and uncertainty of the “untrammeled” wilderness. The wilderness ethics of the Anthropocene enlightens us that we should regulate the intervention of human and technology in a certain range when protecting the wilderness, respect “locality” and derive ecological wisdom from indigenous peoples.
