The notion that sustainability rests on three pillars – economic, environmental and social – has been widely accepted since the 1990s. In practice, however, the economic and environmental aspects have tended to dominate the sustainability agenda, and social aspects have been sidelined. Two reasons for this are: 1) there is a lack of data collected about which to build meaningful pictures of social aspects of sustainability for populations over time, and 2) there is a lack of recognition of the role of social factors in sustainability, and a related lack of understanding of how to analyse them in conjunction with economic and environmental factors. This paper surveys the literature about sustainability in fisheries, focussing on Australia, and focussing on the way social aspects have been treated. The paper finds that the problems that have been identified for assessing the social in sustainability in general are certainly manifest in fisheries. Management of Australian fisheries has arguably made great improvements to biological sustainability over the last decade, but much remains to be done to generate similar improvements in social sustainability for fishing communities. This is the case for government-run resource management as well as for initiatives from the private sector and conservation organizations as part of movements for corporate social responsibility and ethical consumerism. A significant challenge for improving sustainability in Australian fisheries, therefore, lies in improving data collection on social factors, and in bridging disciplinary divides to better integrate social with economic and biological assessments of sustainability.

"The recent trends of digitalization of society is transforming the all the sectors of activity, namely, healthcare, education, tourism, Information technology, and others. Social media analytics are tools that can be used to measure the innovations and the relation with the companies with the citizens. This book focuses on state-of-the-art of social media analytics, and advanced innovation policies in the digitalization of the society. Nowadays, the number of applications that can be used to create and analyze social media analytics generates large amounts of data often called big data, including measures of the use of the technologies to develop or to use new services to improve the quality of life of the citizens"--

Problem and purpose. Along with the obvious benefits, the digitalization of society carries its own risks. At the same time, in modern psychology there is not enough information about the differences in representations of such risks in different cultures. The purpose of the article is to empirically verify the assumption about the dependence of risk perceptions on the socio-cultural context. Methodology. The empirical part of the study was carried out through questionnaires, collected in different universities in three countries during academic and scientific visits (Russia: n = 112, Romania: n = 94, Brazil: n = 98) and drafting the evaluation reports of social risks perceptions (Abric coefficient). During the translation of the questionnaires, we used the focus group method and the method of translation of psychodiagnostic tools and questionnaires (S.V. Kudrya). Results. The data obtained showed that perceptions of risks depend on general perceptions of risks in the culture of a given country, legislation in the field of Internet security, as well as the duration and experience of interaction in social networks of the Internet. Thus, the" core " of the social representation of Russian and Romanian students about the results of risky behavior on the Internet are unproductive behavior in the information environment (TCP-92); demonstration of indifference (TCP-78) or aggressiveness (TCP-75), and for the Brazilian sample, the demonstration of psychological affliction is more typical (TCP-65). In addition, the lexical-semantic analysis of terms and concepts in the field of riskology used for empirical survey of students showed the presence of semantic cross-cultural differences in their understanding. Discussion and conclusion. The data obtained allow us to say that social perceptions of risks are influenced by socio-cultural and legislative peculiarities: The empirical part of the study showed a clear difference between the "core" and "periphery" both in the cross-cultural dimension and within the country samples. ...

Metadata only record ; Coastal erosion is one of the major coastal problems currently facing Tanzania. Several factors, including sea level rise, geology, and rapid coastal population growth accompanied by rapid increase of human activities that interfere with natural processes, have been linked to the problem. One of the human activities that has been well linked to the problem of coastal erosion is illegal sand mining along beaches, coastal streams/rivers, and other restricted areas. This causes localized accelerated/severe coastal erosion and enormous environmental degradation and threat to coastal properties. Illegal sand mining is presently a big industry in Tanzania, employing many youths, and has become a social, economic, and environmental problem. The problem of illegal sand mining in Tanzania is revisited, and possible measures to control it are proposed. Measures that can help to reduce/eliminate illegal sand mining are: governments to address effectively the problem of unemployment and poverty in the society by formulation of effective policies, including the total liberalization of the labour market and reduction of the tax burden and regulations on potential employers; identifying alternative sources of sand that are environmentally safe to mine, of good quality, and easily accessible; launching well-focused mass education on the problem of coastal erosion; encouraging formation of legally registered associations of sand-miners that will work closely with relevant authorities to curb illegal sand mining; and strengthening of governance and improving research funding in the country.

Le 5 mars 1955, dans une communication faite à l'Académie des sciences morales et politiques, le docteur Marie-Andrée Lagroua Weill-Hallé évoque un récent procès d'assises : un jeune couple vient d'être condamné à sept ans de prison, pour avoir laissé mourir, faute de soins, son quatrième enfant. Les cir­constances du drame n'ont pas été jugées atténuantes. Pourtant, la jeune femme, infirme d'une main et atteinte d'une dépression nerveuse, attendait à vingt-trois ans son cinquième enfant. "Si nous avons tenu à évoquer devant votre illustre compagnie ce drame particulièrement douloureux, plaide le docteur "Weill-Hallé, c'est qu'il n'est pas à l'heure actuelle un cas isolé ". Elle suggère un remède : " Des centres d'eugénique où des jeunes .ménages pourraient demander conseil, aussi bien sur le plan de la psycho­logie et de la morale que :sur la planification de la famille et "les problèmes de stérilité et de fécondité". Elle conclut en disant que " ces centres pourraient entreprendre, à long terme, l'éducation de la population au sujet des problèmes sexuels, et si tant est. comme le pense Sauvy, qu'à l'heure actuelle en France c'est la stérilité qui est volontaire il y aurait lieu de substituer à cette conception celle plus constructive de " maternité volontaire " ". L'expression est employée pour la première fois, elle est le mot-clé d'une campagne qui aboutira à l'institution du planning familial en France. En effet, cette intervention, ou plus exactement les drames qui l'ont provoquée, semblent bien être l'aboutissement d'un demi-siècle d'anathème et de silence, et la conséquence des principes législatifs, moraux et religieux qui régissent les problèmes posés par la natalité depuis 1920. Les partisans du contrôle des naissances vont essayer d'interpréter la loi et demander ensuite son abolition partielle (.).
