ABSTRACT Declining natural resources, rising production costs, and diminishing returns from input‐intensive practices threaten the sustainability of smallholder rice systems in Bangladesh. Using a primal system approach and survey data from 1869 rice‐producing households, this study evaluates technical and allocative inefficiency across major agro ...

Escaping the Regional Carbon Trap: The Role of Renewable Energy Innovation in EU Decarbonisation
ABSTRACT The persistence of carbon‐intensive development pathways continues to hinder progress towards climate neutrality, especially in regions where industrial legacies, infrastructural inertia, and institutional rigidities reinforce emissions.

Motivational and Behavioural Determinants of Participation in Renewable Energy Communities
ABSTRACT Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) are increasingly recognised as key instruments for supporting the energy transition, promoting citizen engagement, and enhancing the integration of renewable energy sources. However, limited evidence is available on how motivational factors and behavioural mechanisms jointly influence individuals ...

Generative AI—the Transgression of Technology
ABSTRACT This article offers a systems‐theoretical analysis of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) grounded in Niklas Luhmann's sociology of technology. It addresses a central conceptual problem: How GenAI can be understood within a theoretical framework that has traditionally defined technology as a means of stabilising action through causal ...

A Systems‐Level Approach to Address Risks and Ethics in Artificial Intelligence Systems
ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the world, from completely controlling routine or mundane tasks like text and image generation, to powering advanced algorithms that control critical systems. The recent advances in generative AI quickly overwhelmed multiple industries from education to finance as first adopters rushed (and ...

Abstract Statistical hypothesis testing (SHT) is widely employed across numerous scientific disciplines, and a clear understanding of its underlying logic is essential for the broader scientific community. Here, drawing upon both epistemological and statistical perspectives, we aim to clarify—primarily for educational purposes—the logical relationship ...

Evolutionary Dynamic Multiobjective Optimisation Assisted by Inverse Regression Tree Predictor
ABSTRACT Dynamic multiobjective optimisation problems (DMOPs) are optimisation problems with multiple conflicting objectives that can change over time. Most dynamic multiobjective optimisation evolutionary algorithms (DMOEAs) attempt to estimate Pareto‐optimal sets (PS) directly in the decision space.
