Abstract:
Land-use planning (LUP), an instrument of land governance, is often employed to protect land and humans against natural and human-induced hazards, strengthen the resilience of land systems, and secure their sustainability. The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) underlines the critical role of appropriate local action to address the global threat of land degradation and desertification (LDD) and calls for the use of local and regional LUP to combat LDD and achieve land degradation neutrality. The paper explores the challenges of putting this call into practice. After presenting desertification and the pertinent institutional context, the paper examines whether and how LDD concerns enter the stages of the LUP process and the issues arising at each stage. LDD problem complexity, the prevailing mode of governance, and the planning style endorsed, combined with LDD awareness, knowledge and perception, value priorities, geographic particularities and historical circumstances, underlie the main challenges confronting LUP; namely, adequate representation of LDD at each stage of LUP, conflict resolution between LDD-related and development goals, need for cooperation, collaboration and coordination of numerous and diverse actors, sectors, institutions and policy domains from multiple spatial/organizational levels and uncertainty regarding present and future environmental and socio-economic change. In order to realize the integrative potential of LUP and foster its effectiveness in combating LDD at the local and regional levels, the provision of an enabling, higher-level institutional environment should be prioritized to support phrοnetic-strategic integrated LUP at lower levels, which future research should explore theoretically, methodologically and empirically.

Abstract:
A desertificação é um problema multifacetado que atinge regiões áridas, semiáridas e subúmidas do planeta, em decorrência de diversos fatores, tal como: impactos humanos, variações climáticas e fenômenos biofísicos. Ele encontra, em muitos casos, meios de erradicá-los ou de mitigar seus efeitos através de legislações internacionais e/ou locais. Baseado nesse fato, o presente artigo propõe responder: quais são as principais características da legislação de combate à desertificação do estado de Pernambuco (Lei nº 14.091 de 17 de junho de 2010)? O artigo tem como objetivo analisar de que maneira o estado vem enfrentando o problema da desertificação em seu território. Para isso, serão descritas as principais características da Política Estadual de Combate à Desertificação e Mitigação dos Efeitos da Seca (Lei nº 14.091). A técnica utilizada será a de Análise de Conteúdo (AC), que consiste em sintetizar as principais informações expressas em um texto, e estruturar o conteúdo da legislação por meio de padrões da Teoria do Programa. Os principais resultados demonstram uma consistente política pública de combate à desertificação e atenta a normas e padrões das legislações ambientais internacionais e ao cotidiano dos moradores da região.

Abstract:

In this paper discourse analysis on the Ethiopian National Action Program (NAP) to combat desertification is made. The aim is to describe how the overall image/picture of desertification, its causes, and effects and of possible solutions are presented in the NAP.

The result of this analysis shows that the main cause of desertification is human activities mainly due to the poorly developed socio-economic situation in the dryland areas. It is indicated that an excessive dependency of the rural population on the natural resources, particularly land, is the major cause of land degradation and this deterioration of land is said to have been caused by the rapid population growth, overgrazing, forest clearing as well as past government and institutional failures. In addition it is indicated that the effect of desertification usually involves ecological changes that sap land of its ability to sustain agriculture and human habitation, therefore the most serious threat to human welfare. Desertification diminishes the ability of affected countries to produce food and consequently entail the reduction of regional and global food- producing potential with impacts on world food reserves and food trade. The solution given to mitigate desertification in Ethiopia is that the present strategies are intended to combat desertification, through different action programmes such as improving knowledge on drought and desertification, basic infrastructure, institutional organisations and capacity, awareness and participation as well as empowerment of women.

The analysis also shows that priority was given to socio-economical aspect of the country not directly to combat desertification. It is suggested that in order to mitigate the land degradation, promotion of alternative livelihood is necessarily and this is reported to be achieved through industrialisation, rural credit programmes, intensification and diversification of agriculture, building awareness and access to information, enhancement of institutional organisations, participatory natural resource management, encouraging the private sector in involvement in forest development etc. Finally the analysis identifies different discourses, such as the survivalism, anthropocentrism, ecological modernisation, administrative- rationalism, economic rationalism and democratic pragmatism. Likewise the conflict that prevails between the discourses is discussed.

Abstract:
This chapter extends the time-honored tactical technique of the Operating Force--the After Action Report--and applies it to two transformation efforts of the US Army: the successful fielding of the Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT), and the ill-fated Future Combat System (FCS). Five "institutional innovation challenges" are applied to each effort: Forecasting the Environment. Did the Army accurately forecast the Operating Environment that shaped these programs? Defining the Problem. Did the Army effectively (and compellingly) define the operational problem(s) the programs should solve? Aligning the Innovation Approach. Was the institutional innovation model properly aligned to Army institutional realities? Exploiting and Mitigating Process. Were the programs able to leverage institutional process while mitigating process limitations and pitfalls? Leveraging the Human Dimension. Did the program properly account for the human factors of leadership, politics, complexity, and culture? The disparate success of these two capability development efforts is clearly traceable to how they fared in addressing these challenges.

Abstract:
This chapter provides a brief overview of ecofeminist theory. It charts its rise due to the perception of women having a closer relationship with nature, the retreat of ecofeminism when essentialist notions of women's connections to nature were challenged, followed by the subsequent re-framing of ecofeminism, in light of material and power relationships. More recently, scholars have defended ecofeminism, arguing that it provides a lens to examine the exploitation of nature and women, through analyses of power, social constructs, and inter-species relationships. The chapter then examines the contribution of women in shaping international environmental law (IEL) in pre- and post-UNCED (United Nations Conference on Environment and Development) periods. It also explores recent efforts to embed gender within IEL processes, through the adoption of Gender Action Plans in the 1994 UNCCD (UN Convention to Combat Desertification), the 1992 UNCBD (Convention on Biological Diversity), and UNFCCC (UN Framework Convention on Climate Change). While IEL is generally gender-blind, it is transitioning through a period of gender mainstreaming and the future of IEL is likely to be increasingly gender-literate.

Abstract:
The task of real-time combat game is to coordinate multiple units to defeat their enemies controlled by the given opponent in a real-time combat scenario. It is difficult to design a high-level Artificial Intelligence (AI) program for such a task due to its extremely large state-action space and real-time requirements. This paper formulates this task as a collective decentralized partially observable Markov decision process, and designs a Deep Decentralized Policy Network (DDPN) to model the polices. To train DDPN effectively, a novel two-stage learning algorithm is proposed which combines imitation learning from opponent and reinforcement learning by no-regret dynamics. Extensive experimental results on various combat scenarios indicate that proposed method can defeat different opponent models and significantly outperforms many state-of-the-art approaches.
