標題: Enabling inclusive ocean conservation: Taiwan's marine OECM Framework 作者: Chung, Huey-Shian; Su, Nan-Jay; Liao, Chun-Pei; Chen, Weien 摘要: Other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs) have emerged internationally as an alternative and more inclusive pathway to address the global biodiversity crisis. Despite OECMs being essential to achieving the 30 & times; 30" global target marine OECM (mOECM) recognition remains largely unrealized. This study addresses this gap by investigating how enabling conditions for mOECM recognition can be strengthened through participatory approaches. Taiwan serves as the case study for this investigation having recently enacted a legally binding mOECM framework in July 2025. Employing a combination of literature review and a participatory workshop this study examines Taiwan's emerging framework assesses stakeholder perceptions and categorizes spatial areas of interest to reveal key governance concerns. The results indicate that participant-nominated areas are highly concentrated in sites associated with the marine economy. Consequently this study advances the conceptualization of mOECMs through the lens of adaptively managed human-nature coexistence within the blue economy. Furthermore it discusses the potential of mOECM recognition to serve as a bridging governance institution to mediate inherent sustainable development conflicts. The findings present enabling conditions including conceptual clarification and capacity building standardized biodiversity assessment procedures and the creation of incentives to reduce management burdens. These results offer valuable lessons for governments and communities seeking to minimize implementation friction while ensuring equitable and verifiable outcomes in national mOECM frameworks worldwide."

標題: Adiponectin improves clozapine-induced lipid accumulation and inflammation without affecting insulin resistance 作者: Tsai, I-Lun; Lin, Shih-Chao; Lin, Lin; Tsai, Pei-Shan; Chen, Shiow-Yi 摘要: Clozapine, an atypical antipsychotic, is effective for treatment-resistant schizophrenia but frequently causes metabolic adverse effects, including hepatic lipid accumu-lation, inflammation and insulin resistance. Adiponectin, an adipocyte-derived cytokine with anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing properties, may counteract these effects; however, its ability to mitigate clozapine-induced hepatic alterations remains unclear. This study examined whether adiponectin overexpression reduces clozapine-induced lipid accumulation, inflammatory signaling, and whether it restores insulin-related Akt signaling in human HepG2 liver cells. Cells were treated with 25 mu M clozapine for 24 or 48 h, and adiponectin was overexpressed by plasmid transfection. Lipid accumulation was quantified by BODIPY staining. AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 expression was analyzed by qPCR, and protein levels of FASN, phosphorylated NF-kappa B, and phosphorylated Akt were assessed by Western blotting. Clozapine increased lipid accumulation, upregulated FASN, and reduced AdipoR1 and AdipoR2 expression. Adiponectin overexpression significantly decreased lipid levels, which was associated with reduced NF-kappa B phosphorylation, suggesting attenuation of inflammatory signaling. However, adiponectin did not restore insulin-stimulated Akt phosphorylation. In summary, adiponectin selectively reduced clozapine-induced lipid accumulation and inflammatory signaling in HepG2 cells, whereas impaired insulin-stimulated Akt phosphorylation remained unchanged under the present experimental conditions. These findings indicate a selective protective role of adiponectin and suggest its potential as a modulator of clozapine-induced metabolic side effects.

標題: Artificial intelligence in negotiating energy production and other interests in marine spatial planning-managing transparency and bias 作者: Jao, Juei-Cheng; Chuah, Jason C. T. 摘要: The placement of offshore energy production units and structures (such as pipelines) will invariably come within the scope of any prevailing marine spatial planning (MSP) regime. There is increasing reliance on AI to ensure precision in placement. The data generated in many instances would be adopted by the authorities in implementing any applicable marine spatial plan. However, where there are many competing socio-economic and legal interests in the marine space, the use of AI by offshore energy corporates might well produce bias, whether intentional or not. This work maps out the risks of bias in this offshore energy and MSP context. It asks whether a liability system scheme like the EU AI Law could work. It concludes with thoughts on how, from a legal and regulatory perspective, spatial data sharing and AI used in an MSP context for offshore energy could be improved.
