This study sheds light on the evolving landscape of data asset monetization in the maritime sector. The successful activation of these data assets has the potential to generate substantial economic benefits. By addressing ownership, pricing, and security concerns, maritime enterprises can unlock the true potential of their data assets and contribute to the growth and development of the industry. Maritime enterprises possess extensive and long-standing data assets, which have the potential for substantial value extraction. The first part highlights the global trend of data asset monetization and provides an overview of data accumulation by leading maritime companies. It also underscores the unique characteristics of maritime data, including relatively straightforward ownership and ease of utilization. The second part delves into the practical experiences and pros and cons of data asset monetization in various regions. The third part examines the main risks associated with data asset monetization in maritime enterprises. These risks include issues related to ownership and profit distribution after data rights are established, the possibility of data idling leading to a bubble effect, and escalating concerns about data security. In the fourth part, the paper offers specific regulatory pathways and recommendations to address these challenges. This includes resolving ownership attribution issues, implementing market-oriented pricing strategies with legal safeguards, and embracing technological measures for robust data security, such as distinguishing between information and raw data and ensuring the anonymization of original data.</p>","PeriodicalId":43537,"journal":{"name":"Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"150 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140927401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Home, which contains various references to houses, countries, and states, can no longer be considered a homogenized experience for migrants, as it takes shapes as a result of interaction between the past and present, the local and global, and the diaspora and country of origin. Drawing on diaspora studies and its theorizations of home, this article examines the heterogeneous and pluralistic negotiations of home in Susan Muaddi Darraj’s <i>The Inheritance of Exile</i> and Angela Tehaan Leon’s <i>Swimming Toward the Light</i>, and argues that the conventional understanding of home as a fixed location tied solely to one’s country of origin is challenged. The first generation of Arab migrant women, as depicted in the novels, finds a sense of belonging in the familiar spaces and customs of their native countries, hence viewing them as their true home. In contrast, the second generation views home in a more multifaceted way. They see it not only as a physical space but also as a source of spiritual comfort. The analysis confirms that home can no longer be said to apply simply to a geographic place, site, or even to a certain culture or set of practices as it is interpreted differently and incarnated in multitudinous forms. The diversified meanings of home render it pliable and confirm its controversial and debatable nature, especially for subjects in transit.</p>","PeriodicalId":43537,"journal":{"name":"Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140927502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It illuminates the core liberal focus on individual rights and autonomy, which stands in stark contrast with the collective, interconnected nature of global environmental challenges. Through a detailed engagement with Losurdo’s analytical framework and posthumanist philosophy, the paper argues for a fundamental shift within liberal thought. This involves the incorporation of a robust environmental ethic and a commitment to global justice to reconcile the intrinsic values of liberalism with the urgent demands of environmental sustainability and collective action. The proposed reconfigured liberal philosophy seeks to combine its traditional strengths with a renewed focus on collective well-being, offering a more comprehensive and effective strategy for confronting the existential threat of the climate crisis. This study argues that such a reimagined liberal approach not only enhances its relevance in the face of global environmental challenges but also serves as a viable pathway toward promoting a more just and sustainable future.</p>","PeriodicalId":43537,"journal":{"name":"Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140594275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As assessing one’s voluntariness is very difficult and controversial, paternalistic measures would be preferable to be implemented by hard paternalism rather than soft paternalism. I then examine four usual criticisms of hard paternalism from the perspective of utilitarianism and the principle of autonomy. I argue that these criticisms are unsound and unfounded, and I defend hard paternalism from the perspective of Confucian familism. I argue that as one’s life and identity are inseparable from one’s family, “self-regarding” actions, traditionally understood, do not only affect the self, but also one’s family members. Thus, paternalistic measures to protect individuals from self-harming are also aimed to protect their family members which are indeed compatible with Mill’s harm principle.</p>","PeriodicalId":43537,"journal":{"name":"Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"102 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140200542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, increased urbanization and development have placed urban green areas under extreme pressure, while unplanned urban growth has resulted in the loss of urban landscape and ecosystem. This study’s objective was the public perception on the role of urban green infrastructure and land use management. The 385 sample households were selected by using random sampling method. Descriptive and econometric analyses were used for analyzing both quantitative and qualitative data by using SPSS version 25. Among the major factors influencing the urban green infrastructure by respondents perception were education, income, family size, sex of respondent, marital status, type of employment, ownership of house, participation on public involvement, and frequency of visit to nearer planning which are significant variables in the model. Individuals visited the given green structure at least twice a week, and those not done it were 47.9% and 52.1%. The amount of individuals who visited it twice a week in positive perceivers was 64%, and the amount of those who have not done it was 36%. The Chi-square value of 10.9 was very big and telling us that the frequency of visit was determinant factor of perception. It is vital to keep in mind that while the built-up area and the agricultural areas are rising due to urbanization, the core-ecosystem land is being “eaten” as a result of the past and present land uses inside the administrative limits, as well as the services they provide. In the last 6 years, the rate at which the most precious ecosystems are disappearing has tripled. The population, which reflects the demand for these services and benefits, is still growing, putting more strain on the environment. The recommendations include: Public involvement in urban green space planning and development was determinant and core variable of the study. The government of the town administration should prepare the meeting.

They convincingly explain that hierarchies that contribute to social functioning and increase human well-being (often even benefitting those on the lower ranking of hierarchies) or hierarchies with a kind of fluid character and consist of mechanisms or rules that enable switching roles can be justified. In my paper, I wish to examine whether, according to their principles, informal and semi-formal hierarchies which are created by the market or by a firm, using an algorithm, can be justified. These hierarchies differ from the ones discussed by Bell and Wang in that they are not part of traditional or legal institutions or relationships. They are actually informal or semi-formal and are often created spontaneously by, or as a result of an aggregation of many individuals' economic exchanges. Sometimes they are publicized formally (e.g., a list of best sellers' authors, or when prizes are awarded) and sometimes they are simply a matter of the wisdom of the crowd. On the one hand hierarchies in markets are meant to (a) inform consumers and producers and (b) create a healthy competition, so, prima facie they help us and increase our well-being. In addition, they are meant to shift over time, as they depend on the quality of the producer and the product and their ability to compete with other, new, e.g., more technologically advanced, products. Therefore, on the face of it, these hierarchies could be justified according to Bell and Wang's theory. Nevertheless, I argue that there are other characteristics of these hierarchies which make them condemnable according to the theory and that the cons outweigh the pros. These are: (1) Market hierarchies are based on category mistakes; (2) Market hierarchies are likely to be deceptive—they might inform consumers but with deceptive and often irrelevant information; (3) Market hierarchies are not genuinely flexible and therefore work against the principle of shifting roles which Bell and Wang put forward.</p>","PeriodicalId":43537,"journal":{"name":"Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138516849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
