<p>ABSTRACT<br /><br />Intersection of capture fisheries activities and offshore oil and gas exploitation occurs because they use same areas. Restricted zone at 500 meters radius from oil and gas platform has both positive and negative impacts to ecological, social as well as economic. This condition triggers negative perception and social conflict from fishers community. This paper aims to describe coexistence impact and benefit of both capture fisheries and oil &amp; gas platform, identify stakeholders involved and determine management recommendation. Northern coast of West Java-Indonesia is selected as case study location. The qualitative descriptive, stakeholders identification and gap analysis from Focus Group Discussion (FGD) are undertaken as the method of this study. The qualitative descriptive method is used to describe the positive and negative impact of coexistence between capture fisheries and oil and gas platform. Method for identifying stakeholders is used a continuum of stakeholders from the macro to the micro level. Determination of management recommendation is arranged with gap analysis. Restricted zone at 500 meters radius from oil and gas platform plays as a conservation zone for fishes, and increases productivity of fishers, but it is still triggered negative perception from fishers. Thirteen stakeholders are identified. They have the role and function to manage coexistence of both activities. Management approach should focus on regulation, ecology, social and economic aspects. Role and function played by 13 stakeholders will make both activities go with harmony.<br /><br />Keywords: coexistence, oil &amp; gas platform, capture fisheries, stakeholders<br />-------</p><p><br />ABSTRAK<br /><br />Kegiatan pertambangan migas di lepas pantai (offshore) seringkali bersinggungan dengan kegiatan penangkapan ikan, karena menggunakan perairan yang sama. Larangan bagi nelayan memasuki zona terlarang hingga radius 500 meter dari bagian terluar anjungan migas menimbulkan dampak positif dan negatif baik secara ekologi, sosial maupun ekonomi. Kondisi ini seringkali memunculkan persepsi negatif dan dapat meningkat menjadi konflik sosial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengelaborasi manfaat keberadaan masing-masing kegiatan (ko-eksistensi), menentukan stakeholders terkait dalam pengelolaan dan menentukan rekomendasi pengelolaan ko-eksistensi kedua kegiatan. Makalah ini mengangkat studi kasus di perairan pantura (pantai utara) Jawa Barat. Metode yang digunakan yaitu deskriptif kualitatif, stakeholder analysis dan gap analysis yang bersumber dari Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Deskriptif kualitatif untuk memaparkan manfaat positif-negatif kedua kegiatan serta persepsi nelayan terhadap keberadaan anjungan migas di laut. Stakeholders diidentifikasi berdasarkan tingkatan kesatuannya dari level makro hingga mikro, serta gap analysis untuk merumuskan rekomendasi pengelolaan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keberadaan anjungan dan zona terlarang dapat menjadi kawasan konservasi sumber daya ikan, namun memunculkan persepsi negatif dari nelayan dan berpengaruh positif terhadap produktivitas penangkapan. Kajian terhadap stakeholders menunjukkan bahwa terdapat 13 stakeholders yang memiliki peran dan fungsi dalam mengelola kondisi ko-eksistensi antara kegiatan penangkapan ikan dengan keberadaan anjungan migas ini. Pendekatan pengelolaan dengan fokus pengelolaan pada aspek regulasi, ekologi, sosial dan ekonomi dengan pelaksanaan peran dan fungsi masing-masing stakeholders dapat menjadikan kegiatan perikanan tangkap dan keberadaan anjungan dapat berjalan secara selaras dan bermanfaat secara ekologi, sosial dan ekonomi.<br /><br />Kata kunci: ko-eksistensi, anjungan migas, penangkapan ikan, stakeholders</p>

This chapter discusses shamanism, explaining the ethos and mythology of several indigenous societies, and how these belief systems relate to the design of art and music. First, a general overview of shamanism is provided, which outlines the typical role and function of a shaman. An explanation of the shamanic visionary experience, a type of altered state of consciousness, is then provided. Following this, the chapter explores a variety of visual art from indigenous shamanic cultures, including examples from San, Native American, Huichol, Tukano, and Shipibo traditions. The sound and music of shamanic and trance cultures is also discussed, with reference to Vodou, Tukano, Mazatec, Kiowa, and Mayan examples, and relevant field recordings. Through the course of this discussion, the chapter establishes a view of how shamanic art and music invoke a sense of the spirit world, which informs the subsequent discourse of Inner Sound.

This chapter discusses contemporary debates regarding the use of artificial intelligence as a vehicle for criminal justice reform. It closely examines two general approaches to what has been widely branded as “algorithmic fairness” in criminal law: the development of formal fairness criteria and accuracy measures that illustrate the trade-offs of different algorithmic interventions; and the development of “best practices” and managerialist standards for maintaining a baseline of accuracy, transparency, and validity in these systems. Attempts to render AI-branded tools more accurate by addressing narrow notions of bias miss the deeper methodological and epistemological issues regarding the fairness of these tools. The key question is whether predictive tools reflect and reinforce punitive practices that drive disparate outcomes, and how data regimes interact with the penal ideology to naturalize these practices. The chapter then calls for a radically different understanding of the role and function of the carceral state, as a starting place for re-imagining the role of “AI” as a transformative force in the criminal legal system.

Introduction This study aims to determine the guidelines for the design of a social skills training programme for people with schizophrenia using virtual reality. Methods This article encompasses two studies: Study 1, a systematic review of five articles indexed in the databases B-on, PubMed, Clinical trials and Cochrane Library (2010–2020); Study 2, a focus group of occupational therapists trained in mental health and multimedia professionals, in which they discussed the outline of such a programme. Results A set of guidelines were identified as central and consensual which should be included in the programme. It must have multilevel logic and gradual learning, with simulations of everyday situations, in which it is possible to practise the skills of conversation and communication. Virtual reality provides people with schizophrenia with unlimited opportunities, enhancing a personalized intervention. Conclusion Social skills training could be part of the treatment for people with schizophrenia, and virtual reality is a promising tool to complement traditional training, although still little implemented in mental health services. Occupational therapists have a prominent role in the development and application of this because of their knowledge of activity analysis and their ability to facilitate the generalization of skills in different contexts.

AbstractDevelopment cooperation actors have been addressing climate change as a cross-cutting issue and investing in climate adaptation projects since the early 2000s. More recently, as concern has risen about the potential impacts of climate variability and change on human mobility, development cooperation actors have begun to design projects that intentionally address the drivers of migration, including climate impacts on livelihoods. However, to date, we know little about the development cooperation’s role and function in responding to climate related mobility and migration. As such, the main aim of this paper is to outline the policy frameworks and approaches shaping development cooperation actors’ engagement and to identify areas for further exploration and investment. First, we frame the concept of climate mobility and migration and discuss some applicable policy frameworks that govern the issue from various perspectives; secondly, we review the toolbox of approaches that development cooperation actors bring to climate mobility; and third, we discuss the implications of the current Covid-19 pandemic and identify avenues for the way forward. We conclude that ensuring safe and orderly mobility and the decent reception and long-term inclusion of migrants and displaced persons under conditions of more severe climate hazards, and in the context of rising nationalism and xenophobia, poses significant challenges. Integrated approaches across multiple policy sectors and levels of governance are needed. In addition to resources, development cooperation actors can bring data to help empower the most affected communities and regions and leverage their convening power to foster more coordinated approaches within and across countries.
