“Going out to get in”—Roles of forest conflicts in bottom‐linked environmental governance progressing toward socio‐political innovations

AbstractSocial innovation literature focuses commonly on roles of cooperation in addressing co‐evolution of civil society initiatives and state‐based governance toward sustainable solutions. However, roles of conflicts in driving social change are scarcely addressed in social innovation literature. We elaborated a concept of bottom‐linked environmental governance, which can take place either via collaboration, or by conflict, and which can progress toward socio‐political innovations. We show this progression by examining two longitudinal cases on forest controversies in Northern Finland. These are the cases of Inari and Muonio. They are characterized by dynamic processes of conflicts and collaboration between state‐based organizations (e.g., Finnish forestry enterprise of Metsähallitus), civil society actors (e.g., reindeer herders, nature‐based tourism entrepreneurs and environmental nongovernmental organizations). We conducted a qualitative deductive‐inductive content analysis on the study cases and uncovered a set of “going out to get in” strategies by civil society actors, emerging from frustration on state‐based participatory processes, and consisting of open disputes and pressure strategies outside the participatory processes to gain a seat and power at negotiation tables. Metsähallitus often responded by seeking to maintain its control over forest decisions. The interplay between these strategies led to continuous open disputes and finally to socio‐political innovations (e.g., comanagement arrangement). The findings lead us to discuss reasons for prolonged disputes, the question of whether sociopolitical innovations can benefit all, considerations on power relations, strategies, and counter responses, all being relevant more broadly, for both, social innovation research and decision‐making enabling socio‐political innovations.

Modelos sociopolíticos en disputa. El caso del bloqueo a Huawei

No puede establecerse con claridad de qué manera el desarrollo digital moldeará las relaciones económicas y sociales del mundo interconectado, sobre todo en vistas a la inminente revolución aparejada a la aparición de redes 5G e internet de las cosas. Lo que está claro, es que los valores y pilares bajo los que se fundan se encuentran en abierta discusión y disputa. En esta breve comunicación, tomando como punto de partida el actual enfrentamiento comercial y tecnológico entre Estados Unidos y Huawei, se tratará de identificar y caracterizar dos modelos sociopolíticos enfrentados que resuelven a su manera el eje de relaciones entre individuos, gobiernos y compañías. En particular, se ahondará en el reconocimiento de dos escenarios diferentes. Por un lado, Occidente, donde pueden encontrarse a grandes compañías como Google y Facebook siendo interpeladas por actores del ámbito civil, judicial y político, y donde pesan importantes acusaciones de competencia desleal y manipulación de datos privados; y, por otro lado, China, donde las autoridades «protegen» a sus 800 millones de internautas para la explotación de unas pocas compañías en lo que puede entenderse como un peligroso modelo de integración vertical.

A Research on Link Mining Tasks

Coping with the difficulty of mining luxuriously prepared, heterogeneous datasets wherein the devices are linked together are massive problems of records mining. Connections between gadgets may also show effective examples which can be useful for some form of statistics mining undertakings and are usually now not a smooth errand to trap with traditional authentic fashions. Some informational collections of intrigue nowadays are quality depicted as a connection accumulation of bury associated objects. These articles communicate to homogeneous systems in which there are single-object kind and connection kinds (eg. People associated with the aid of partner's connections or the arena wide net, accumulations associated internet site pages) or more extravagant heterogeneous systems wherein there might be numerous articles, conceivably distinct semantic data and connection types. In medicinal location portraying patients, infections, medications, and contacts, or in bibliographic regions, as an example, depicting productions, creators and scenes are the times of heterogeneous structures. Connection mining is an information mining structures that unequivocally bear in mind the ones association of connections even as constructing classificatory or premonition models of the related records. Normally connection mining assignments include article positioning, mixture arrangement, interface forecast, bunch recognition and sub-diagram revelation. It's far a provocative and fast developing location. In this examine paper we survey connection mining errands, a few primary developing subjects and talk approximately non-stop connection mining issues, open dispute and endorse mind that is probably open doors for preparations. The maximum stop of this take a look at is to provide future levels in link Mining and proposes mind to apply connection mining structures from connection mining to enlarge Semantic net.

Od Valerie do Fausta i Wolnego strzelca: kilka uwag o intertekstualnej strategii I części Dziadów

The author analyses intertextual relations in the first and final section of part of “Forefathers’ Eve” (Dziady), and treats them as an element of Mickiewicz’s strategy of anchoring his own work in the system of dialogue with renowned Western cultural works of the time. This dialogue takes the form of a polemic against the sentimental French models akin to de Krüdener’s “Valerie” and the Sturm und Drang movement, which was open to issues of characterisation and early German romanticism. In the first part of the book, which focuses on an analysis of the Maiden’s monologue, the author discerns a mechanism of references to Barbara Julianna de Krüdener’s novel “Valerie” and “The Sorrows of Young Werther”, with which the baroness engaged in an open dispute. The second part focuses on the character of Gustaw and his conversation with the Black Hunter, with an analysis of likely connections with the Weber/Kind’s opera “The Marksman” and the plays of Goethe and Klingemann with the same main title “Faust”.

A2J/A2K: Access to Justice, Access to Knowledge, and Economic Inequalities in Open Courts and Arbitrations

This article, for a symposium on Secrecy, explores a broad set of processes that makes dispute resolution inaccessible. My focus is on the problem of institutional privatization, as contrasted with questions of individuals’ personal privacy. The kind of secrecy I discuss here has several sources including the promotion of alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) through in-chambers judicial management and settlement efforts; the design of some online dispute resolution (“ODR”) and court-annexed arbitration programs; mandates to outsource dispute resolution to private providers; bans on pursuing relief through class actions; and the costs to individuals of pursuing claims. Rather than any “natural” states of open or closed dispute resolution, political and social movements shape laws endowing courts, ADR, ODR, and arbitration with their attributes. Today, we assume courts to be open and think of judicial management and of arbitration as closed. These assumptions are the product of rules, doctrine, and practices that are in motion. As I detail, much of what takes place in courts increasingly happens outside the public purview, and yet some judges do pre-trial work in open court, on the bench and on the record. Likewise, while privately provided arbitrations are generally cloistered, some jurisdictions permit public access to court-annexed arbitration. A distinction therefore needs to be drawn between what I call the doctrinal openness of courts, familiar because of layers of custom, practice, rules, and law formally committed to public access, and the functional privatization of court-based activities and of some forms of arbitration that make interactions and outcomes inaccessible. I discuss how the closing off of ADR and ODR interacts with bans on class actions, confidentiality clauses, and a host of “legal financial obligations” (“LFOs”), all of which make dispute resolution inaccessible and aspects of it secret. I add to the documentation on the use of arbitration by mining publicly available databases that reflect how unusual single-file consumer claims are. To the extent ODR creates new routes to redress, the versions practiced in the United States have not built in third-party access to welcome observers or to enable assessment of its processes or outcomes. The pressures on courts to finance their own services are another way in which access is limited; a host of assessments deter litigants from using courts. This article then turns to the need to reframe constitutional doctrine so as to constrain the functional privatization of dispute resolution. Current approaches rely on the tradition of access to trials as the benchmark. Given the rarity of trials, preserving public practices requires revising the legal inquiries to focus on the utilities of open dispute resolution as it now takes place, whether in person or through exchanges of materials online. I close with the reminder that making courts accessible is in the interests of individual and repeat players.

An Open-Data Based Assessment of Expected Changes in Land Use and Water Availability as a Result of the Construction of the West Segment of the Nicaragua Interoceanic Canal

Nicaragua is preparing the construction of an interoceanic canal that will be the longest and largest canal on Earth. An environmental and social impact assessment was published in 2014 supporting a general viability of the canal. Nonetheless, several scientists and societal actors raised serious concerns regarding the social, economic, and ecological sustainability. Despite an open dispute within the Nicaraguan society, no independent, transparent, and scientifically sound assessment has been carried out. This article presents a transparently documented and comprehensible impact assessment of the West Canal Segment of the Nicaragua Canal. Based on publicly available data and scientifically sound and recognized methods, land use, hydrological (water availability), and socio-economic impacts (population, transportation/communication) are described, quantified, and compared with official declarations in the impact assessment. The examination of official declarations discloses significant ambiguities concerning the methodology and data used for the impact assessment. Consequently, the results presented are at least partly doubtful. When compared with official declarations, the main results of this study reveal: (1) significantly more forested areas (+53.7 km2) and areas of extensive agriculture/near nature (14.4 km2), but far less urban and intensively used areas (−39.6 km2) are affected by the canal; (2) A population of nearly 16,500, and several regional or locally unique transportation and communication routes are directly affected by the canal construction; and (3) a slightly lower water availability (−6.6%) and a much higher water demand for lock operations (+31.8%) were estimated. Accordingly, only about 20% of the lock water demand could be met by locally-available discharge.

The Philosophy of Happiness in Selected Works of N. M. Karamzin: The Search for True Bliss

ABSTRACTThis paper deals with the philosophy of happiness as found in N.M. Karamzin's poetry, publicistic texts, and Letters of a Russian Traveller, and it also examines certain key stages in the formation of Karamzin's concept of happiness and its features as found in certain of his works. When Karamzin broke off relations with the Masons and returned from a journey abroad, in Letters of a Russian Traveller (1791–1792) he proposes to readers various points of view about happiness which are not reduced to a rigid system: the author creates a narration which is fundamentally open for the reader's comprehension and where deep philosophical views are balanced with the author's irony or everyday naive tales about happiness. In his philosophical and publicistic essay “On the Happiest Time in Life” (1803). Karamzin enters into an open dispute with the ancient world and its philosophers over the issue of happiness proving that it is not attainable on earth and catching these philosophers out in a deception. Karamzin's philosophy of happiness is based on a synthesis of the ancient world and European enlighteners' concepts of happiness and the key core of this takes ethics as its starting point; however, true happiness and bliss are again relegated to heaven.

Teamverhandlungen – eine differenzierte Betrachtung von Vorteilen und Nebenwirkungen des Einsatzes von Teams in Verhandlungen

The applied question whether teams or individuals should be sent to the negotiation table is under open dispute in both, research and practice. This paper provides a differentiated discussion of the currently available relevant empirical evidence. It further provides concrete suggestions for a conditional model that helps managers making this everyday business decision.

La retórica y el discurso administrativo

The goal that has this paper is to show that the administrative discourse, exposed in its basic texts, can be located in the field of rhetoric, particularly when seeking to persuade; and when they make their heuristic proposals (Lakatos, 1989; Laudan, 1986; Polanyi, 1958). I understand the rhetoric, with Perelman (1989) and Toulmin (2007) as an argumentation theory that seeks to persuade or convince so as to produce models or viable constructs. This in the field of performative propositions, not demonstrative empirically (Austin, 1955) recovering the Aristotelian practical rationality. Sampling in this work from rhetoric, persuasive passion in administrative texts such as Harold Koontz on how to solve “the semantic jungle” or administrative semantic disorder; and Reyes Ponce proposing to raise and include a sixth element in the administrative process, which is forecast; heuristics and passion in “normative” not descriptive, proposed first by Harold Koontz, in its five functions of management, second by Mary Parker Follett three models of command, in open dispute with the authoritarian model. Both passions allow the understanding of social reality construction, in particular organizational.

Explaining the currency of novel policy concepts: learning from green infrastructure planning

The ‘interpretive turn’ in policy analysis has greatly enhanced understanding of policy process dynamics. However, it has not afforded much attention to explaining the currency of novel concepts where open dispute appears absent in policy discussions. This paper seeks to address this lacuna by employing an innovative discourse analysis approach to examining the emergence of green infrastructure planning policy in the Republic of Ireland. Whereas the analysis accounts for the rhetorical force of language, it reveals that those advocating the green infrastructure concept were not passive actors in receiving a static discourse. Instead, it demonstrates that such agents actively sought to negate opposition and advance their policy objectives by exploiting the discourse's flexibility and consensus-building potential, as well as strategically identifying and employing a range of dissemination opportunities. Drawing lessons from this case, a new framework for understanding the interpretive analysis of seemingly unopposed novel policy concepts is presented.

El sentido del arte contemporáneo. A partir del trabajo de Jean-Luc Nancy

Durante las últimas dos décadas fue patente la emergencia de reflexiones estéticas novedosas. La irrupción de dichas reflexiones resulta indisociable de la disputa abierta por las creaciones artísticas contemporáneas. La mayoría de los autores que en los últimos tiempos teorizaron sobre esta disputa se vieron obligados a responder del arte, a pensar y decir qué es el arte. En este trabajo me propongo analizar la perspectiva adoptada por Jean-Luc Nancy. El análisis se articula en torno a cuatro cuestiones sobre las que Nancy vuelve una y otra vez en sus textos sobre arte: el sentido de la expresión “arte contemporáneo”, la pluralidad de las artes, la diferencia entre el sentido sensible y el sentido inteligible, y las figuras del fragmento, del vestigio y del gesto.

Моббинг на рабочем месте

The article describes the main causes of mobbing in the workplace, its
 phases and types. The features of the behavior of participants in the conflict interaction. The recommendations for the prevention of mobbing
 in the organization.
 Mobbing as a phenomenon that is widespread in the workforce. It is
 a healthy alternative to the inefficient competition. Are increasingly
 becoming aware of cases of collective psychological terror against
 the workers by their peers, subordinates or superiors. Aggression in
 the workplace can manifest itself in different ways: raising voices,
 open disputes, false information, and even the use of physical force.
 Mobbing can be both horizontal and vertical, the so-called bossing.
 There are cases where the «victim» of mobbing and became the chief
 executive.
 Out of a situation of conflict interaction without loss, turns out not at
 all. Workers are asking for pressure and exposed to it, cannot fully
 devote themselves to the work being undermined institutional balance,
 production problems are not resolved fully, the organization makes
 a loss.
 Therefore prevention of mobbing has become one of the primary objectives
 of effective leadership.

Deprofessionalization of a female occupation: Challenges for the sociology of professions

This article argues that Norwegian public health nurses, after a long period of professionalization, have recently undergone a process of deprofessionalization. Public health nurses’ jurisdiction has become heavily circumscribed. They have lost duties linked with power and respect in the local community and they have lost monopoly on duties originally ascribed to the profession. Despite these changes, this study indicates a conspicuous lack of open disputes, conflicts or demands centred on jurisdiction and jurisdictional claims. In other words, the manner in which public health nurses cope with recent changes in their job structure does not seem to follow an easily explainable pattern in terms of prevailing sociological theories on professions. It is argued that the sociology of professions needs to develop theories that can explain why deprofessionalization sometimes occurs without resistance.

Single-site mutations on the catalase–peroxidase from Sinorhizobium meliloti: role of the distal Gly and the three amino acids of the putative intrinsic cofactor

KatB is the only catalase-peroxidase identified so far in Sinorhizobium meliloti. It plays a housekeeping role, as it is expressed throughout all the growth phases of the free-living bacterium and also during symbiosis. This paper describes the functional and structural characterization of the KatB mutants Gly303Ser, Trp95Ala, Trp95Phe, Tyr217Leu, Tyr217Phe and Met243Val carried out by optical and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. The aim of this work was to investigate the involvement of these residues in the catalatic and/or peroxidatic reaction and falls in the frame of the open dispute around the factors that influence the balance between catalatic and peroxidatic activity in heme enzymes. The Gly303 residue is not conserved in any other protein of this family, whereas the Trp95, Tyr217 and Met243 residues are thought to form an intrinsic cofactor that is likely to play a role in intramolecular electron transfer. Spectroscopic investigations show that the Gly303Ser mutant is almost similar to the wild-type KatB and should not be involved in substrate binding. Mutations on Trp95, Tyr217 and Met243 clear out the catalatic activity completely, whereas the peroxidatic activity is maintained or even increased with respect to that of the wild-type enzyme. The k (cat) values obtained for these mutants suggest that Trp95 and Tyr217 form a huge delocalized system that provides a pathway for electron transfer to the heme. Conversely, Met243 is likely to be placed close to the binding site of the organic molecules and plays a crucial role in substrate docking.

The Way and the Word: Science and Medicine in Early China and Greece (review)

Reviewed by: The Way and the Word: Science and Medicine in Early China and Greece Steven Shankman (bio) Geoffrey Lloyd and Nathan Sivin. The Way and the Word: Science and Medicine in Early China and Greece. New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 2002. xvii, 348 pp. Hardcover $40.00, ISBN 0-300-09297-0. Paperback $20.00, ISBN 0-300-10160-0. Classical studies in the West in the past few decades has confronted the same tumultuous challenges to traditionalism that have affected other humanistic fields, yet in many ways nothing fundamental has changed. It is true that the ancient texts have been reinterpreted from a variety of new perspectives, and courses such as Gender in the Ancient World have sexed up the classics-in-translation curriculum, but "classics" still means ancient Greece and Rome. The canon remains intact. And, as a result, fewer and fewer undergraduates choose to study the classics, and an even more miniscule number choose to do so in the original languages. Clearly something needs to change, especially in the light of the globalization of contemporary culture. How much more interesting and provocative the classics would be if students were asked to study ancient Greece and China, where the contrasts between these two extraordinary and influential cultures are so marked and so revealing, the terrain so relatively unexplored! Yet the power of convention is strong and the perils of comparative Sino-Hellenic studies are many. Its students must learn two very different and challenging languages. And while the contrasts between the two cultures are endlessly thought-provoking, students must be wary, in the enthusiasm of their comparativist endeavors, of making sweeping generalizations about each culture. Geoffrey Lloyd and Nathan Sivin have written a stimulating, learned, and important book that, while painting very different and contrasting images of the styles of scientific and medical inquiry in early China and Greece, avoids precisely this kind of cultural stereotyping, this trafficking in vague essences. The book is divided into six chapters: (1) "Aims and Methods," (2) "The Social and Institutional Framework of the Chinese Sciences," (3) "The Social and Institutional Framework of Greek Science," (4) "The Fundamental Issues of Greek Science," (5) "The Fundamental Issues of the Chinese Sciences," and (6 ) "Chinese and Greek Sciences Compared." There is also an appendix on the evolution of Chinese cosmology. The authors focus on investigating what they call the cultural "manifold" in which scientific and medical inquiry was pursued in China and Greece between the years 400 b.c. and a.d. 200. Employing the method established by Geoffrey Lloyd in his earlier pioneering books on comparative Sino Hellenic studies, the authors rightly reject the approach of associating cultures with abstract and mystically bestowed "mentalities." Rather, they describe the social [End Page 422] frameworks and institutions from which the distinctive styles of early Chinese and Greek thought emerged. Lloyd and Sivin make useful distinctions between Chinese and Greek styles of talking about scientific and medical pursuits. The "Chinese norms," they argue, "were identification with a group and aspiration toward an imagined orthodoxy. . . . They were the mirror image of the Hellenic emphasis on a thinker's own ideas even when he belonged nominally to a group" (p. 44). Chinese scholars tended to think "of ideas embodied in teachers" and this "discouraged open disputes with contemporary rivals over concepts" (p. 52). They thought of themselves as participating in lineages (jia) rather than as individual members of competing schools of thought. For Chinese thinkers (with the exception of Zhuangzi, one must observe) "it was not permissible to wander wherever the intellect leads" (p. 65). The Chinese, as opposed to the Greeks, "take exception to people—mostly dead ones—not to disembodied ideas" (ibid.). "The Chinese mirror image of Greek public debate was a tendency to seek agreement and to claim it even when it did not exist" (p. 81). "Compared with their Chinese counterparts, Greek intellectuals were far more often isolated from the seats of political power" (p. 102). The Greeks, in their quest for truth, preferred truth to friendship (p. 118). While the Chinese worked toward consensus and harmony, "the fundamental competitiveness of Greek medical practice is evident" (p. 131 ); in Greece, "the...

Intense space storms: Critical issues and open disputes

This paper addresses the question of particular characteristics and causes of intense space storms. We focus on several unresolved issues, which are critical to storm research and often nourish open disputes: the extent of interplanetary driving, the role of substorms in storm dynamics through the acceleration of particles to ring current energies, the identity of the lead agent of fast ring current decay right after storm maximum and the cause of the two‐phase recovery of intense storms, the global morphology of the storm‐time ring current, and the predictability of intense storms. Space storm physics has been driven by several more or less successful paradigms during the four decades following the dawn of the space flight era. However, recent suggestions and conclusions resulting from a number of observational and modeling studies have brought significant constraints to several of these paradigms. Thus for example, interplanetary driving through southward oriented magnetic fields is not always by itself sufficient to drive intense space storms because it is conditioned by internal magnetospheric conditions, the MLT distribution of storm‐time magnetic disturbances is often asymmetric during the storm main phase, and charge exchange is not the lead agent of ring current decay at all times.

The storm-time ring current

In this paper I am reviewing recent advances and open disputes in the study of the terrestrial ring current, with emphasis on its storm-time dynamics. The ring current is carried by energetic charged particles flowing toroidally around the Earth, and creating a ring of westward electric current, centered at the equatorial plane and extending from geocentric distances of about 2 RE to roughly 9 RE. This current has a permanent existence due to the natural properties of charged particles in the geospace environment, yet its intensity is variable. It becomes more intense during global electromagnetic disturbances in the near-Earth space, which are known as space (or magnetic or geomagnetic) storms. Changes in this current are responsible for global decreases in the Earth's surface magnetic field, which is the defining feature of geomagnetic storms. The ring current is a critical element in understanding the onset and development of space weather disturbances in geospace. Ring current physics has long been driven by several paradigms, similarly to other disciplines of space physics: the solar origin paradigm, the substorm-driver paradigm, the large-scale symmetry paradigm, the charge-exchange decay paradigm. The paper addresses these paradigms through older and recent important investigations.

The significance of endotoxin release in experimental and clinical sepsis in surgical patients--evidence for antibiotic-induced endotoxin release?

Sepsis and peritonitis remain a serious challenge for surgical patients, despite improvement in surgical therapy and intensive care and the introduction of new powerful antibiotics. Recent in vitro studies revealed the potential of certain antibiotics, e.g. penicillin-binding protein (PBP) 3-specific antibiotics, to cause antibiotic-induced endotoxin release. Other types of antibiotics, e.g., PBP 2-specific antibiotics, were associated with no or less endotoxin release. Further in vitro experiments and investigations in animals support the hypothesis of antibiotic-induced endotoxin release, but there is little clinical evidence. The clinical significance of endotoxin is subject of open dispute with many pro's and contra's. Endotoxin, although an important trigger, may not be the only factor to induce cytokine release, e.g., peptidoglycans were able to stimulate cells to release cytokines. Gram-positive pathogens have gained more importance in clinical sepsis and may not be sufficiently reflected in current clinical studies. The hypothesis that neutralization of endotoxin and pro-inflammatory cytokines is beneficial in sepsis was seriously challenged by the results of recent clinical and experimental studies. The better understanding of mechanisms in endotoxin-induced cell activation and cell, cell-receptor and soluble receptor interactions led to new treatment options. Recent reports on the complex pathogenesis of peritonitis and the detection of pathogen-related factors with intraperitoneal immune response may have implications on clinical studies investigating the potential of new compounds and the effect of antibiotics on endotoxin release. However, only few reports are available on the clinical significance of antibiotic-induced endotoxin release, and association of endotoxin release with pathogens, mortality or alteration of physiological parameters were not observed. With regard to the particulars of these studies, e.g., a small study population or low mortality rate, mortality may not be an ideal outcome parameter for these studies. There is clinical evidence for antibiotic-induced endotoxin release. However, the need for well-designed and performed studies using newly developed monitoring devices in intensive care therapy is obvious.

Monetary Economy or Capitalist Economy?

Marx's theory of capitalism, like other theories of evident importance, has been subjected to the most varied and contradictory interpretations by its own disciples as well as by partisans of competing theories. Such interpretations come to light in divergent, often opposing approaches. In some cases they aim to demonstrate the validity of Marx's system and to develop it further, while in others they serve as springboards for criticizing that system from the vantage points of rival theoretical systems. Yet it is also true that a social theory must be susceptible to continual reinterpretation to remain relevant to the analysis of the constantly changing reality it purports to explain, as well as for the development of the theory itself. When such reinterpretation is done by its critics, a comparison with rival theories is implied. Of course, this comparison does not always assume the form of an open dispute between one theory and another over their respective principles or concepts; it can also take a more subtle form, with a neutralization, seemingly benign, of one theory by the other. In other words, the practitioners of one theory may be able to reinterpret the principles of a rival theory in such a way as to deprive it of the status of an independent theory and coopt it in part into their own theory. If we are to believe Post Keynesian authors, this seems to be what has

Peaceful Engagement in Communist Disunity

The policies of containment and of liberation were based on the premise that there is a united Soviet bloc. The purpose of containment was to prevent Soviet expansion; the purpose of liberation to roll back Communist frontiers. These policies have ceased to be relevant for the sixties. Today, the unity of the Communist camp is being strained by the increasingly open Sino-Soviet dispute.
