Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special focus: Passage of Foreign Fishing Vessels and Enforcement Regimes of Coastal States with Reference to Malaysian Practice Description: The creation and widespread adoption of 200 nautical miles (nmi) of exclusive economic zone (EEZ) under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) represents a dramatic geographic and functional expansion of coastal states’ (refer to all the international conventions) jurisdiction – probably the largest transfer of resources to national jurisdiction in history. These zones cover about 36 per cent (%) of the surface of the seas, 90% of fisheries, and 43% of the value of the world’s “ecosystem services”. Thus, to undertake conservation measures and sustainable exploitation of fisheries and other living resources, which provide livelihoods for more than 59.5 million people and a main source of animal protein for 40% of the eight billion global population, the coastal states are empowered to undertake enforcement measures as provided by Article 73 and, to a certain extent, Article 111 in harmony with Article 300 of UNCLOS. Bearing in mind that an enhanced monitoring, control, and surveillance (MCS) on the marine fishing operation is an important tool in fisheries law and enforcement, this paper specifically discusses contentious issues of whether foreign fishing vessels (FFVs) and foreign vessels involved in fisheries-related activities (FVFRAs) enjoy the absolute right of innocent passage and freedom of navigation or limited navigational rights in all maritime zones —including the continental shelf of coastal states as provided by various articles in the UNCLOS — or they are bound to comply to the respective coastal states’ domestic laws, that is, through notification or authorisation as a mandatory requirement from relevant coastal states’ authorities, prior to entering and exiting any of their maritime zones. In addition to that, this paper also focuses on the effectiveness of enforcement measures under Section 16 of the Malaysian Fisheries Act 1985 (as amended) by relevant Malaysian maritime enforcement agencies against FFV for the failure to notify, and similar application of domestic laws and practices by other coastal states and issues related to “creeping jurisdiction” in relation to fisheries-extended jurisdiction under the notion of “territorial temptation” of coastal states.

Book excerpt: Strategies on the Implementation of the Collection and Reporting of Fuel Oil Consumption Data Based an MARPOL Annex VI: A Malaysian Case Study Abstract Collection and reporting of ship fuel oil consumption data for ships of 5,000 gross tonnage (GT) and above have been made mandatory from calendar year 2019 onwards on an annual basis by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), which is one of the global standards under the Annex VI of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL). However, according to the IMO, not all potential 135 Administrations have submitted their data. Since Malaysia is amongst the active Administrations who have submitted the data, it is used as the case study to gauge the implementation of the collection and reporting of this fuel oil consumption data from ships. Thus, based on Malaysia's current implementation and challenges faced throughout the implementation, this study aims to propose strategies in ensuring that the implementation of the collection and reporting of ship fuel oil consumption data by other Administrations is in conjunction with the IMO convention. The implementation was made under the Merchant Shipping Ordinance 1952 (MSO52) through the issuance of Malaysia Shipping Notice (MSN). Recognised Organisations (ROs) were appointed and authorised on behalf of the government of Malaysia to collect, verify, and report the required data to the IMO. The findings of this study suggest that the MARPOL Annex VI should be incorporated into the National Laws, ROs should be appointed for collection and reporting of ship fuel oil consumption data, and clear methodology should be established on collection and reporting of ship fuel oil consumption data. Hence, there is an urgent need for Malaysia to strengthen its implementation and enforcement on the provisions of MARPOL Annex VI. There is also a necessity to monitor the performance of Malaysia’s shipping carbon emission and its contribution in reducing the total annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions set by the IMO by 2050.

Book excerpt: Special focus: Effects of the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824 on Maritime Trade Around the Straits of Malacca and Nearby Region Description: This article is written with an aim to review and study the British strategies used during the colonisation of Malaya, which led to successful signing of several treaties that greatly benefitted the British East India Company (EIC). The Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824 was among the treaties that had a huge impact not only on the British, but also the people of Malaysia and Singapore, where the benefits are still enjoyed to this day. In two years (2024), it will be the 200th anniversary of the treaty signed between the Dutch and British. After nearly two centuries, the British colonisation strategies in Singapore through the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1824 were found to have truly helped the development of the country, the Straits of Malacca, as well as the surrounding regions. Although there were a myriad of studies and writings that claimed that the British colonisation was intended for the expansion of ideological policies, as well as ensuring the economic interests of the British only, in reality, the countries involved were able to reap the benefits as an effect of the colonisation.

Book excerpt: Special focus: Navigating Climate Change: A Brief Summary on Innovative Ocean Solutions Abstract: The ocean plays a crucial role in sustaining life on Earth by harbouring a significant portion of biodiversity, regulating the climate, contributing to the economy, and ensuring global food security. Nevertheless, the anticipated rise in worldwide temperatures, in addition to the acidification of the oceans and the elevation of sea levels, presents significant dangers to vital marine ecosystems and the benefits they provide. In spite of the commitments to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as outlined in the Paris Agreement, they are inadequate in restraining the global temperature increase to within +2°C by the year 2100. Hence, there is an immediate requirement for more ambitious measures to reduce GHG emissions. Ocean-based interventions show promise in mitigating the effects of climate change—such as ocean warming, acidification, and sea-level rise—on marine ecosystems. However, there is a lack of guidance in prioritising these interventions, and limited research, development, and deployment have been conducted in this field. This concise article offers an evaluation of ocean-based measures or schemes aimed at lessening climate-related drivers and negative impacts on selected marine ecosystems and their services. The assessment gauges the potential of each measure based on eight factors that encapsulates the environmental, technological, social, and economic criteria. These factors encompass effectiveness, technological readiness, lead time, duration of benefits, co-benefits, disbenefits, cost-effectiveness, and governance implications. The study highlights the significance of con-sidering the ethical, equitable, and governance implications of ocean-based interventions and the associated risks to oceanic life and human populations. Overall, this research illuminates the potential of ocean-based interventions in addressing the consequences of climate change on marine ecosystems and ecosystem services. It emphasises the need for further research, development, and deployment in this realm and underscores the importance of considering the broader implications and risks associated with these interventions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to explore the definition(s) of ‘theatre’ and ‘metatheatre’ that scholars use when studying the ancient Greek world. Although in modern languages their meaning is mostly straightforward, both concepts become problematical when applied to ancient reality. In fact, ‘theatre’ as well as ‘metatheatre’ are used in many different, sometimes even contradictory, ways by modern scholars. Through a series of papers examining questions related to ancient Greek theatre and dramatic performances of various genres the use of those two terms is problematized and put into question. Must ancient Greek theatre be reduced to what was performed in proper theatre-buildings? And is everything was performed within such buildings to be considered as ‘theatre’? How does the definition of what is considered as theatre evolve from one period to the other? As for ‘metatheatre’, the discussion revolves around the interaction between reality and fiction in dramatic pieces of all genres. The various definitions of ‘metatheatre’ are also explored and explicited by the papers gathered in this volume, as well as the question of the distinction between paratheatre (understood as paratragedy/comedy) and metatheatre. Readers will be encouraged by the diversity of approaches presented in this book to re-think their own understanding and use of ‘theatre’ and ‘metatheatre’ when examining ancient Greek reality.

Download or read book Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy written by Thomas R. Lynch and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on over twenty years of research, radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RO DBT) is a breakthrough, transdiagnostic approach for helping people suffering from extremely difficult-to-treat emotional overcontrol (OC) disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and treatment-resistant depression. Written by the founder of RO DBT, Thomas Lynch, this comprehensive volume outlines the core theories of RO DBT, and provides a framework for implementing RO DBT in individual therapy. While traditional dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) has shown tremendous success in treating people with emotion dysregulation, there have been few resources available for treating those with overcontrol disorders. OC has been linked to social isolation, aloof and distant relationships, cognitive rigidity, risk aversion, a strong need for structure, inhibited emotional expression, and hyper-perfectionism. And yet—perhaps due to the high value our society places on the capacity to delay gratification and inhibit public displays of destructive emotions and impulses—problems linked with OC have received little attention or been misunderstood. Indeed, people with OC are often considered highly successful by others, even as they suffer silently and alone. RO DBT is based on the premise that psychological well-being involves the confluence of three factors: receptivity, flexibility, and social-connectedness. RO DBT addresses each of these important factors, and is the first treatment in the world to prioritize social-signaling as the primary mechanism of change based on a transdiagnostic, neuroregulatory model linking the communicative function of human emotions to the establishment of social connectedness and well-being. As such, RO DBT is an invaluable resource for treating an array of disorders that center around overcontrol and a lack of social connectedness—such as anorexia nervosa, chronic depression, postpartum depression, treatment-resistant anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders, as well as personality disorders such as avoidant, dependent, obsessive-compulsive, and paranoid personality disorder. Written for mental health professionals, professors, or simply those interested in behavioral health, this seminal book—along with its companion, The Skills Training Manual for Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (available separately)—provides everything you need to understand and implement this exciting new treatment in individual therapy—including theory, history, research, ongoing studies, clinical examples, and future directions.
