The idea of decoupling is playing a major role in various interpretations of the present systemic crisis. This crisis is understood as an effect of neo-liberal policies, which have revolutionized economic systems since the 1980s. Decoupling indicates a qualitative change in the level of autonomy of the economic sphere in industrial societies. But a new level of differentiation also generates various types of recoupling, new forms of integration, cooperation and regulation recomposing social systems at another level. The goal of this article is first to situate the idea of decoupling within its conceptual complex. Secondly, the ecological constraint is considered the source of this intense differentiation within social systems, which has intensified since the 1970s. Finally, based on the case of Japan, this paper explains why large-scale science and technology policies developed since the 1990s have to be understood as part of a recoupling process, a project to reconstruct and reach a social and economic coherence in the long term. Similar policies are now implemented by all major industrial nations. Such policies have the potential to overcome neo-liberalism's negative effects.

The paper is focused on the evaluation of the possibilities of analysing the relations between economic and financial indicators of farm businesses by the application of multivariate statistical methods. It also indicates the possibilities of the construction of a general economic indicator of business effectiveness.

Soil food webs from conventional and integrated management practices at an experimental site (Netherlands) were analysed using multivariate statistical procedures and simulation modelling, so as to identify patterns in species interactions and material transfers. Cluster analysis, canonical discriminant analysis and canonical correspondence analysis of the dynamics of biomass-N of functional groups within the food webs indicated that the webs could be compartmented into functional groups based on food choice and trophic level. The degree of compartmentalization depended on management practice. Consumers of fungi were separated in time from consumers of bacteria under the integrated management practice whereas little separation was observed under conventional practice. Simulation modelling was used to estimate the flux rates of nitrogen among functional groups within the food webs. The modelling demonstrated that more flow occurred in the integrated plot than in the conventional plot. More material flow occurred in the upper 10 cm of the integrated plot than in the 10-25 cm layer, whereas there was no such difference in the conventional plot. The effect may be due to the differences in the tillage practice on each plot. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)

There are many possible approaches to organizing economic activities of individuals living in social systems. Whatever method is chosen, it is necessary to coordinate or integrate the behavior of individual members of the society. The history of economic thought is a study of the more important attempts to analyze, describe and explain the relationships in actual or idealized economic systems. Knowledge of alternative explanations of economic processes provides a basis for evaluating the performance of industrial economies. It also provides a basis for critically evaluating economic theories and models that purport to describe modern industrial economies

AbstractOne major challenge of using the phylogenetic comparative method (PCM) is the analysis of the evolution of interrelated continuous and discrete traits in a single multivariate statistical framework. In addition, more intricate parameters such as branch-specific directional selection have rarely been integrated into such multivariate PCM frameworks. Here, originally motivated to analyze the complex evolutionary trajectories of group size (continuous variable) and social systems (discrete variable) in African subterranean rodents, we develop a flexible approach using approximate Bayesian computation (ABC). Specifically, our multivariate ABC-PCM method allows the user to flexibly model an underlying latent evolutionary function between continuous and discrete traits. The ABC-PCM also simultaneously incorporates complex evolutionary parameters such as branch-specific selection. This study highlights the flexibility of ABC-PCMs in analyzing the evolution of phenotypic traits interrelated in a complex manner.

The authors, who are the experts in anthropogenic systems management technology, revealed the phenomenon of virtual reality from the point of its practical signifi cance for developing society management strategies. The method of strategic planning regards virtual reality asa theoretical and philosophical basis for the design and virtualization of economic and mathematical images of the real socio-economic systems in the generated virtual world. Particular attention is paid to the fundamental properties of socio-economic systems, causing an objective link of their virtual images with the principles of nonlinear dynamics.Using virtual reality elements is exemplifi ed on “DYN-Prognoz” simulation, targeted at the development of social systems managing strategies. Authors proposed to use generative virtual reality related by feedback to time continuum with advanced virtual image as a new direction in social and economic forecasting.
