Coalitions

The objectives of the study were to (i) identify sustainable livelihood options; (ii) the most suitable livelihood practices with the purpose of reducing poverty for local communities and their dependency on forest resources; and (iii) recommend suitable policies to reduce the conflict between socio-economic development and forest management. In order to achieve these objectives, we used the LIFE (livelihood, income, forest condition, and equity); the Sustainable Livelihood Framework; and the Advocacy Coalition Framework.

The onset of economic globalization by the end of the 20th century foisted progressively new modes of collaboration on most of the American social movements. New Social Movements (NSMs) such as the environmental movement, the environmental justice movement, and the labour unions, were propelled into rapprochement that soon gave rise to new forms of coalition dubbed the blue-green/the blue-green-brown alliances.

The ability to sustain indirect reciprocity is an example of collective intelligence. It is increasingly relevant to future technology and autonomous machines that need to function in a coalition. Indirect reciprocity involves providing benefit to others without guaranteeing a future return. The identity through which an agent presents itself to others is fundamental, as this is how the reputation of an agent is considered. In this paper, we examine the sharing of identity between agents, which is an important and frequently overlooked issue when considering indirect reciprocity.

Complex human health conditions with etiological heterogeneity like Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often pose a challenge for traditional genome-wide association study approaches in defining a clear genotype to phenotype model. Coalitional game theory (CGT) is an exciting method that can consider the combinatorial effect of groups of variants working in concert to produce a phenotype.

This paper addresses China’s bank sectors lending to enterprises through a coalition framework. We set Chinese banks, MSEs, and SOE and public listed companies in a coalition game, and hence provide a solution to Chinese banking sectors’ lending strategy. Our findings suggest that either lending to MSEs or to SOE and public listed companies will not be beneficial. The coalition comprising of all the players is the rational, stable and fair solution. As such, large SOEs and public listed companies may receive bank loans at a lower price as MSEs’ offered.

Sometimes there are committee members who have special powers or lack of power. If a member can pass any measure he or she wishes without needing anyone else to vote with him or her, then we call him or her a dictator. Thus member x is a dictator if and only if {x} is a winning coalition. A somewhat weaker but still very powerful member is one who can by himself or herself block any measure. If x is such a member, then we say that x has veto power. Thus x has veto power if and only if {x} is a blocking coalition. Finally if x...

If we know the minimal winning coalitions, then we know everything that we need to know about the voting problem. The winning coalitions are all those sets that contain a minimal winning coalition, and the losing coalitions are the complements of the winning coalitions. All other sets are blocking coalitions. In Example 2.7 the minimal winning coalitions are the sets contain- ing four members. In Example 2.8 the minimal winning coalitions are the three-member coalitions that contain the tie-breaking member and the four-member coalitions that do not contain the tie-breaking mem- ber.

More companies are designing solutions to address data governance and ensure regulatory compliance by reducing data movement. These companies rely on the security and auditing features of the DBMS to ensure that regulated data is not improperly accessed during automated business processes. Requiring large amounts of detail data to be extracted from the DBMS for processing by SAS raises the complexity of maintaining regulatory compliance. This can be particularly challenging for data preparation processes.
