The winner doesn't need to take it all: Unravelling the gendered value of work time
International Journal of Management Reviews, EarlyView.Abstract How people understand, negotiate and use time at work shapes their daily experiences. Yet, when work time is divided, allocated and valued in workplaces, women often lose out. Despite pervasive empirical evidence of gender gaps, research has largely overlooked the deeper role of time in shaping inequality.

Evolvability Metric Estimation by a Parallel Perceptron for On-Line Selection Hyper-Heuristics
IEEE Access, 2017 Online hyper-heuristic selection is a novel and powerful approach to solving complex problems. This approach dynamically selects, based on the state of a given solution, the most promising operator (from a pool of operators) to continue the search ...

A unified formulation for home healthcare routing and scheduling problems
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Home Healthcare is an essential component of healthcare systems, where caregivers visit patients' homes to deliver services. While presenting advantages with respect to institutional care, such as being cost‐effective and alleviating family burdens, it presents challenges in scheduling and routing caregivers efficiently.

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Multi‐restart metaheuristics can be highly effective for complex optimization problems, yet their performance depends critically on how restarts and algorithmic parameters are selected. This paper introduces a reinforcement learning approach for managing restart‐level decisions and parameter configurations in the UES–CMA‐ES hybrid ...

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The influence of agrochemical firms on testing and risk assessment standards constitutes a central yet understudied dimension of the political economy of agrochemicals and the formation of a corporate‐dominated global pesticide regime. How leading R&D firms—formally positioned as competitors—have converged in the production and dissemination ...

Maternal Identity Among Mothers Who Survived Near‐Lethal Violence
Journal of Marriage and Family, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective This study explores how mothers reconstructed their identity after surviving an attempted intimate partner homicide (IPH), in cases where their children were either directly or indirectly impacted by the violence. Background Although growing research has addressed risk factors and relationship dynamics preceding IPH, limited ...

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract Interdisciplinary research (IDR) is widely promoted as essential for addressing complex societal challenges, yet its enactment remains fraught. We argue that dominant typological and structural approaches miscast IDR and underplay the practical work through which it unfolds.
