Lucy is running from what she’s done – and what someone did to her.

There’s only one person who might understand: her sister Jess. But when Lucy arrives at her sister’s desolate cliff-top house, Jess is gone.

Lucy is now alone, in a strange town steeped in rumour. Stories of men disappearing without a trace. A foundling discovered in a sea-swept cave. And women’s voices murmuring on the waves…

As Lucy searches for her sister, those voices get ever louder. They tell of two sisters, two centuries ago, bound and transported across the world. A world where men always get their way. A world that is at once distant, and achingly familiar.

Are these voices luring Lucy closer to her sister? Or will the secrets of the past pull them both under?

This pioneering Research Handbook provides a comprehensive and in-depth scholarly overview of the field of soft law, exploring the scope of current thinking in the field as well as proposing future pathways for soft law research. Organized into four broad themes, the Research Handbook offers important and unique insights into the dynamic and complex nature of soft law. The first section delves into the conceptual history and development of soft law. Second, the Handbook explores the disciplinary understandings of soft law, examining how scholars from different fields investigate the topic. The third theme focuses on the public and private actors and institutions involved in soft law-making, providing a detailed analysis of the complex relationships that shape soft law. Finally, the fourth theme explores the role of soft law in addressing major global societal challenges, including among others climate change, gender inequality, and the regulation of artificial intelligence. This Research Handbook will be a key resource for students and scholars in constitutional and administrative law, public international law, regulation and governance, public administration and policy, and law and politics. Practitioners and policymakers seeking to better understand the role of soft law in domestic and international law, policy and governance will also find this book beneficial.

Picture Fuzzy Logic and Its Applications in Decision Making Problems provides methodological frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the field of picture fuzzy operators, and their applications in scientific research and real-world engineering problems. Although fuzzy logic can be applied in a number of different areas, many researchers and developers are not yet familiar with how picture fuzzy operators can be applied to a variety of advanced decision-making problems. Picture fuzzy set is a more powerful tool than fuzzy set or intuitionistic fuzzy set to tackle uncertainty in a variety real-world modeling applications. Picture fuzzy set is actually the generalization of intuitionistic fuzzy set, and intuitionistic fuzzy set is the generalization of fuzzy set. In this book, the picture fuzzy sets are investigated, and different types of operators are defined to solve a number of important decision making and optimization problems. The hybrid operator on picture fuzzy set based on the combination of picture fuzzy weighted averaging operators and picture fuzzy weighted geometric operators is developed and named Hybrid Picture Fuzzy Weighted Averaging Geometric (H-PFWAG) operator. Another operator is developed for interval-valued picture fuzzy environment, which is named Hybrid Interval-Valued Picture Fuzzy Weighted Averaging Geometric (H-IVPFWAG) operator. These two operators are then demonstrated as solutions to Multiple-Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) problems. The picture fuzzy soft weighted aggregation operators (averaging and geometric) are defined, and these are applied to develop a multi-criteria group decision making system. The Dombi operator in the picture fuzzy environment is then defined and applied to solve MADM problems. Based on the Dombi operator, several other operators are defined. These are the picture fuzzy Dombi aggregation operators, including picture fuzzy Dombi weighted averaging operator, picture fuzzy Dombi order weighted averaging operator, picture fuzzy Dombi hybrid averaging operator, picture fuzzy Dombi weighted geometric operator, picture fuzzy Dombi order weighted geometric operator, and picture fuzzy Dombi hybrid geometric operator. Each of these operators are used to solve MADM problems. An extension picture fuzzy set known as m-polar picture fuzzy set is proposed and investigated along with many properties of m-polar picture fuzzy Dombi weighted averaging and geometric operators; each of these operators are applied to MADM problems. Another extension of the picture fuzzy set is the interval-valued picture fuzzy uncertain linguistic environment. In this set, interval-valued picture fuzzy uncertain linguistic weighted averaging and geometric operators are developed, and interval-valued picture fuzzy uncertain linguistic Dombi weighted aggregation operators are utilized in the MADM process. In the complex picture fuzzy environment, the authors demonstrate some complex picture fuzzy weighted aggregation operators to be used in solving MADM problems. Another approach called MABAC with picture fuzzy numbers is studied and developed as a multi-attribute group decision making model. Furthermore, the picture fuzzy linear programming problem (PFLPP) is initiated, in which the parameters are picture fuzzy numbers (PFNs). The picture fuzzy optimization method is applied for solving the PFLPP. This concept is used to solve the picture fuzzy multi-objective programming problem (PFMOLPP) under the picture fuzzy environment.

Social Fabric: Art and Activism in Contemporary Brazil brings together the work of ten artists who reflect upon the long-standing histories of oppressive power structures in the territory now known as Brazil. Blurring the line between art and activism and spanning installation, painting, performance, photography, sculpture, and video, these artists contribute to local and global conversations about the state of democracy, racial injustice, and the violence inflicted by the nation-state. This first English-language, book-length study of contemporary Brazilian art in relationship to activism assembles artist-authored texts, interviews, essays, and a conceptual mapping of Brazilian history to illuminate the function of art as a platform for critical engagement with the historical, political, and cultural configurations of a particular place. By refusing to remain neutral, these artists create spaces of vibrant and vital community and self-construction to explore how healing and justice may be possible, especially in the Black, LGBTQIA+, and Indigenous communities to which many of them belong.
