Due to the complex structure and stakeholder relationships within a program, the management of conflicts in program therein proves more challenging than with a single project. The internal conflict of a program affects the performance of the program team and the success of the program. The previous researches focus more on the project level rather than program level, and lack a systematic analysis of management mechanism of team conflict. This research contributes to the program conflict literature by investigating the unique nature and solutions of conflict within program team, taking a systematic and innovative view on the organizational structure of a complex construction program. The findings reveal unique program conflict and their causes and impacts, and suggest the principles and alternative resolution strategies for conflict in program. The different roles of stakeholders in program conflict are analyzed by social network method. A program conflict management model is developed for the effective management of program conflicts. The model provides a systematic view of the learning cycle of program conflict management, including conflict identification, resolution, feedback, and prevention, of which many patterns are found distinct from project conflict management. The research results can benefit practitioners and researchers in better understanding and minimizing program conflict.

The molecular similarity principle has achieved great successes in the field of drug design/discovery. Existing studies have focused on similar ligands, while the behaviors of dissimilar ligands remain unknown. In this study, we developed an intercomparison strategy in order to compare the binding modes of ligands with different molecular structures. A systematic analysis of a newly constructed protein–ligand complex structure dataset showed that ligands with similar structures tended to share a similar binding mode, which is consistent with the Molecular Similarity Principle. More importantly, the results revealed that dissimilar ligands can also bind in a similar fashion. This finding may open another avenue for drug discovery. Furthermore, a template-guiding method was introduced for predicting protein–ligand complex structures. With the use of dissimilar ligands as templates, our method significantly outperformed the traditional molecular docking methods. The newly developed template-guiding method was further applied to recent CELPP studies.

Although conflicts most often occur between groups, research and theory on conflict management and negotiation have largely focused on the interpersonal system and ignored how groups negotiate a solution to their intergroup conflict. Thus we have a thorough understanding of the motivational, cognitive, and affective processes underlying the development of high quality solutions in interpersonal negotiation, but we know little about the extent to which these insights can be comfortably generalized to intergroup settings. Likewise, the large volume of work on intergroup perceptions and intergroup relations has much to say about intergroup negotiation, but these research areas have rarely been connected and produced systematic analysis. The current Special Issue presents research on these topics and aims at promoting cross-talk between negotiation researchers and social psychologists in the intergroup relation domain.

This research aims to analyze the existence of fishermen conflicts in using of fisheries resources and settlement conflict resolution. The method used is qualitative research through grounded research that explores various cases and forms of conflict between fishermen (hulle fishermen communities (migrants) with local fishermen. Data analysis refers to the functional structural theory and conflict theory. The result of the research shows that the fishermen or groups of fishermen with their capture technologies (traditional, semi-traditional, and modern) must compete freely and be competitive to get fishery resources. The orientation and utilization of spatial aspects also be a type of conflict that extends to primordial conflict aspects. Conflict resolution through co-management strategies by involving various stakeholders in conflict resolution. Strategic steps must be an emphasis on conflict resolution shape that adaptive and responsive through systematic analysis for acceleration the resolution of fisherman conflict issues that developed so far. The formation of fishermen institutions conflict management is needed that involves government elements (related institution), community leaders, fishermen representative, NGO, and universities in charge of potential analyzing fishermen conflicts and handling strategy.

Since CaO-Al2O3-based mold fluxes are one of the most important mold flux systems in metallurgic processes, it is important to explore their structure characteristics and viscosity. Molecular dynamics simulation is performed to study the effect of w(CaO)/w(Al2O3) ratio on both the structural and viscosity properties of CaO-Al2O3-based mold fluxes. A systematic analysis of the structure and thermodynamics on CaO-Al2O3-based mold fluxes is carried out, and it is well known that the viscosity of mold fluxes is related to the structure. The results show that the formation of stable structures of Si-O in the mold fluxes was beneficial to reduce the probability of structural interconnection, degree of polymerization, and viscosity of the molten slag. In the cationic structure, the contents of Ca-O-Al and Ca-O-Si are more stable, the interconnection of the Ca-O-Al and Ca-O-Si network weakens, and the viscosity decreases. The tetrahedra [AlO4] and [SiO4] have similar structures, but they exhibit different thermodynamic and physical properties. Viscosity test shows that CaO/Al2O3 = 0.88–2 continuously increased, when the cosolvent content Li2O = 1%–4%, CaO-Al2O3-based mold flux viscosity decreased, the degree of network structure polymerization decreased, and the complex structure depolymerized. Increasing the water content in the cosolvent is beneficial to reduce the viscosity of the crystallizer.

This paper aims to examine and understand the form of factionalisation and Internal Conflict of Partai Persatuan Pembangunan (PPP) in people's perception of its existence as a political party. The method uses a qualitative approach with data and information obtained through interviews and library research methods. The data and arguments built in this paper use qualitative studies, namely by gathering various scientific references and from primary and secondary sources through searching for writings related to books, journals, papers, newspapers, magazines and direct interview results with informants related to problem in this study. The results showed that the internal PPP conflict was caused by differences in the views of political elite in determining the coalition carrying the presidential candidates. This happened in the PPP in 2014 when there were differences in the nominations between Suryadharma Ali and Romahurmuziy. The conflict then led to the dualism of the leadership of the Suryadharma Ali and Romahurmuziy camps. Another factor driving conflict is the different backgrounds of cadres in the political parties. Therefore, conflict management absolutely needs a political party.

For a proper understanding of the institution of legal responsibility in corporate relations, it is necessary to clearly define the range of subjects of corporate relations, which, in turn, is determined by the types of corporate relations in which these entities participate. It is the nature of corporate relations that determines the peculiarities of the responsibility of management bodies and persons who manage a joint-stock company. Corporate relations in a joint-stock company arise in connection with the creation, operation and termination of a joint-stock company as a legal entity, an independent legal entity endowed with separate property, which has its own internal organizational structure and acts in economic turnover on its own behalf obligations to creditors. The emergence of a joint stock company as a legal entity, with its members, founders, property owner, members of management bodies, creditors, as well as other stakeholders (stakeholders), causes a particularly complex structure of corporate relations, which can be distinguished not only internal management relations legal entity, but also external relations that ensure the participation of legal entities in economic turnover, as well as organizational and property relations between members of business associations, groups, associated and related companies. Corporate responsibility is one of the most important factors that ensure the stability of corporate relations. This determines the scientific interest in corporate responsibility throughout the history of corporate law, due to the development of organizational and legal forms of economic activity based on corporate relations. A systematic analysis of the current legislation allows to determine the range of subjects of corporate responsibility.
