Weak adjunction conjecture for log canonical pairs

Let f ⁣:XZf\colon X\to Z be a fiber space and let DD be a Q\mathbb{Q}-divisor on XX such that (X,D)(X,D) is log canonical and KX+DK_X+D is Q\mathbb{Q}-linearly trivial over ZZ. Let DZD_Z denote the discriminant divisor on ZZ. Weak adjunction conjecture. There is an effective Q\mathbb{Q}-divisor MZM_Z on ZZ such that KZ+DZ+MZK_Z+D_Z+M_Z is log canonical and

KX+DQf(KZ+DZ+MZ).K_X+D\sim_{\mathbb{Q}}f^*(K_Z+D_Z+M_Z).

This is the weak form of the adjunction conjecture used in the paper's main inequality. The supplied text notes that it holds when KX+DK_X+D has a Kawamata log terminal numerical complement, but gives no general resolution.
