Significance of telecoupling for exploration of land-use change
No full textLand systems are increasingly influenced by distal connections: the externalities and unintended consequences of social and ecological processes which occur in distant locations, and the feedback mechanisms that lead to new institutional developments and governance arrangements. Economic globalization and urbanization accentuate these novel telecoupling relationships. The prevalence of telecoupling in land systems demands new approaches to research and analysis in land science. This chapter presents a working definition of a telecoupled system, emphasizing the role of governance and institutional change in telecoupled interactions. The social, institutional, and ecological processes and conditions through which telecoupling emerges are described. The analysis of these relationships in land science demands both integrative and diverse epistemological perspectives and methods. Such analyses require a focus on how the motivations and values of social actors relate to telecoupling processes, as well as on the mechanisms that produce unanticipated outcomes and feedback relationships among distal land systems
Emergent Global Land Governance
Get PDFLand governance is currently the focus of many new global rule-making projects, marking a sharp break with past practices that sought to exclude land as an international governance issue. Wide-ranging concerns about land grabbing and its exclusionary and ecological consequences have driven this, prompting states and global civil society to devise new global land-governance instruments. This chapter offers a preliminary theoretical and empirical analysis of what is conceptualized as "emergent global land governance," focusing primarily on its international governance dimensions. A review of relevant land-governance policy instruments in the fields of investment, land tenure, and forestry suggests that emergent global land governance is likely to consist of multiple, overlapping instruments with diverging normative frameworks and objectives that are not closely coordinated instead of a singular, discrete international regime
Applications of the Telecoupling Framework to Land-Change Science
No full textOver the past two decades, progress has been made in understanding and predicting land-use change in specific places, using frameworks such as coupled human-natural systems, coupled human-environmental systems, or coupled social-ecological systems. However, land-use change around the world is increasingly being driven by new agents and causes which emanate from distant locations, through forces such as trade, migration, transnational land deals, and species invasions. New conceptual frameworks are thus needed to account for such distant forces. This chapter applies a framework that explicitly takes distant forces into account in land-use change and builds on the concept of telecoupling (ie, environmental and socioeconomic interactions among coupled systems over large distances). Telecoupling is a logical extension of coupled systems thinking; it draws insights from related concepts in different disciplines and serves as an umbrella concept to address and integrate various types of distant connections between coupled systems. The telecoupling framework includes five major and interrelated components: couple human-natural systems, agents, flows, causes, and effects. An overview of the telecoupling framework is presented and two examples (transnational land deals and species invasions) demonstrate the application of the framework to global land use. Finally, challenges and opportunities in understanding telecouplings and their consequences are highlighted and calls made for new directions in land-change research
Plutonium characteristics in sediments of Hiroshima Bay in the Seto Inland Sea in Japan
No full textSediment core samples were collected from Hiroshima Bay in the Seto Inland Sea, western Northwest Pacific Ocean, and their 239+240Pu activities and 240Pu/239Pu atom ratios were determined by sector field ICP-MS. The activities of 239+240Pu ranged from 0.556+/-0.025 to 0.745+/-0.023 mBq/g. The atom ratios of 240Pu/239Pu were almost constant within the whole depth; the average value was 0.227+/-0.014. This atom ratio was significantly higher than the mean global fallout ratio of 0.18, proving the presence of close-in fallout Pu that originated from the Pacific Proving Ground (PPG). The water masses exchanges between the Kuroshio Current (KC) and the Seto Inland Sea brought the PPG source Pu to this area, then Pu was extensively scavenged into sediment particles supplied by the rivers around the bay. The relative contributions of the global fallout Pu and the PPG close-in fallout Pu were evaluated by the two end-member mixing model. The contribution of the PPG close-in fallout was 38%-41% of the total Pu in sediment. The remaining 59%-62% was attributed to direct global fallout and the land-origin Pu transported by the rivers around the Hiroshima Bay.journal articl

Penyelesaian Pembiayaan Bermasalah Terhadap Perjanjian Kepemilikan Rumah Di Brk Syariah Kc Arifin Ahmad Pekanbaru
No full textABSTRACT Housing is a basic need besides food and clothing. The role of banking greatly affects the economic activities of a country. Providing housing financing is one of the most basic bank businesses, one of which is providing housing financing by BRK Syariah. Before providing financing the bank needs to assess customers who apply for financing. Because, not a few customers fail to fulfill their obligations in house payments which results in problematic financing. In resolving problematic financing, settlement is not always carried out through court channels, but also efforts to resolve problems carried out outside the court provided by BRK Syariah. The formulation of the problem in this research is how to review the law regarding the resolution of problematic home ownership financing at BRK Syariah KC Arifin Ahmad Pekanbaru and what factors cause problematic home ownership financing at BRK Syariah KC Arifin Ahmad Pekanbaru. The type of research used is included in the empirical group and the sample for this research is one part of the BRK Syariah bank KC Arifin Ahmad Pekanbaru, namely the Management Director and several customers who have been declared in default or failed to carry out their obligations. From the results of research that has been conducted by the author, that the settlement of problematic financing of home ownership in BRK Syariah KC Arifin Ahmad Pekanbaru is litigation and non-litigation, such as rescheduling, reconditioning and restructuring and there are 2 (two) factors causing the financing of problematic home ownership in BRK Syariah KC Arifin Ahmad Pekanbaru, namely internal factors originating from the bank that are not careful both from analyzing prospective customers, as well as in the calculation of home financing and ext from the bank that is not careful both from analyzing prospective customers, as well as in the calculation of rumaa financing and external factors from the customer, where there are some customers who do not make payments because there is an element of intentionality and an element of customer unintentionality.

Transcriptome profile in Drosophila Kc and S2 embryonic cell lines
Get PDFDrosophila melanogaster cell lines are an important resource for a range of studies spanning genomics, molecular genetics, and cell biology. Amongst these valuable lines are Kc167 (Kc) and Schneider 2 (S2) cells, which were originally isolated in the late 1960s from embryonic sources and have been used extensively to investigate a broad spectrum of biological activities including cell-cell signaling and immune system function. Whole-genome tiling microarray analysis of total RNA from these two cell types was performed as part of the modENCODE project over a decade ago and revealed that they share a number of gene expression features. Here, we expand on these earlier studies by using deep-coverage RNA-sequencing approaches to investigate the transcriptional profile in Kc and S2 cells in detail. Comparison of the transcriptomes reveals that ∼75% of the 13,919 annotated genes are expressed at a detectable level in at least one of the cell lines, with the majority of these genes expressed at high levels in both cell lines. Despite the overall similarity of the transcriptional landscape in the two cell types, 2,588 differentially expressed genes are identified. Many of the genes with the largest fold change are known only by their CG designations, indicating that the molecular control of Kc and S2 cell identity may be regulated in part by a cohort of relatively uncharacterized genes. Our data also indicate that both cell lines have distinct hemocyte-like identities, but share active signaling pathways and express a number of genes in the network responsible for dorsal-ventral patterning of the early embryo. © The Author(s) 2023.
