But in the past two years, protecting the region from sea-level rise has become an explicit objective.
Standing up for that as an explicit objective, with policies to bring it about, isn't a sign of weakness; it's a sign of strength.
In this paper, we focus on Kohonen self-organizing maps (SOMs) for interval-valued data, and design a new Batch SOM algorithm that optimizes an explicit objective function.
Social mediation occupies a middle ground between an authoritarian, urban planning approach to relocation and resettlement programs that have community empowerment as an explicit objective.
In a vast array of proposals across a 250-page report, the commission also calls for more performance-related pay for teachers and a requirement that free schools have an explicit objective of narrowing education attainment gaps, and urges ministers to drop "the strivers versus shirkers rhetoric", which it says undermines support for welfare spending.

The authors point out that remediation of inequalities must be an explicit objective of public health planners.
Moreover, free movement of capital, labour and other factors of production is often an explicit objective of economic integration schemes.
Many machine learning tasks involve solving complex optimization problems, such as working on non-differentiable, non-continuous, and non-unique objective functions; in some cases it can prove difficult to even define an explicit objective function.
