This paper proposes a new methodology for analyzing cases involving stakeholders in disputed surrogacy arrangement. The methodology utilized is the Analytic Hierarchy Process, which allows users to weigh different criteria based on their own opinions and background. Three case studies involved a surrogacy arrangement among three stakeholders： the biological mother, the biological father and the surrogate mother. The base for the model was that all parties had entered into an agreement, and that after the agreement had been made, a situation changed, such that a decision as to who had parental rights over the fetus became an issue. The criteria used in the decision making process in the three case studies were legal, health and ethical. The criteria differed based upon each stakeholder＇s point of view. In this paper, the three models were developed using the AI-tP methodology and judgments were gathered for each of the three cases to derive the priorities for the criteria in each model. Each author took the role of one of the three stakeholders.展开更多

Pre-earthquake anomalous Schumann resonance is an important manifestation of LAIC (Lithosphere-Atmosphere-Ionosphere Coupling), which is probably associated with seismic ionospheric disturbance. The observation system parameters of the Yunnan Schumann resonance monitoring stations and the results of statistical and seismic cases analysis are introduced in this paper. Three days before the March 10, 2011 MS5.8 Yingjiang earthquake, anomalous Schumann resonance in the By component (E-W) was observed by Yongsheng station, and two days before the Lincang MS4.0 earthquake of January 23, 2011, anomalous Schumann resonance in the By component was detected by the same station. Spectrum analysis results on the By component observations of Tonghai station show that strong disturbances were observed in spectral density corresponding to the first three Schumann resonant frequencies on the very day of the MS4.2 Honghe earthquake of May 22, 2011. Research shows that Schumann resonance monitoring is a feasible method for seismic-electromagnetic precursors monitoring.展开更多
