Ontologies for Sustainability: Theoretical Challenges

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The lack of sustainable practices in key sectors of human societies is a global concern, posing threats for the whole planet. This paper provides the first review of ontologies for sustainability efforts, outlining their roles in assessing and advancing such efforts. Section 2 outlines three major challenges associated with sustainability: (1)

Financial Inclusion for Smallholders: Integrating a Resource Nexus Approach Into Agricultural Finance Systems

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Smallholder farmers remain structurally excluded from the current agricultural finance system. Existing research in this area examines financial inclusion through fragmented environmental, social, and economic lenses, limiting system‐level understanding.

Association of Jensen’s inequality for s-convex function with Csiszár divergence

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2019
In the article, we establish an inequality for Csiszár divergence associated with s-convex functions, present several inequalities for Kullback–Leibler, Renyi, Hellinger, Chi-square, Jeffery’s, and variational distance divergences by using particular s ...

Bias in, symbolic compliance out? GPT's reliance on gender and race in strategic evaluations

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research summary Organizations are increasingly using large language models (LLMs) to support strategic evaluations. We examine whether and how these systems rely on gender and race. We asked GPT to evaluate identical startup pitches varying only the founder's name, shaping gender and race perceptions.

Types of Struggles in Disrupted Interaction: A Case of Hard‐of‐Hearing Employees

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Everyone experiences disrupted interactions in their everyday life. However, research indicates that people with functional impairments are particularly exposed to patterns of interactional inequality at work. Despite this, little is known about the specific disrupted interactions in everyday life and the various types of interactional struggles this ...

Two-Term Disjunctions on the Second-Order Cone

open access: yes, 2014
Balas introduced disjunctive cuts in the 1970s for mixed-integer linear programs. Several recent papers have attempted to extend this work to mixed-integer conic programs.

“I'm a Good Guy Who Deserves Better, Yet Nobody Wants to Give me Better”: The Accounts of Nice Guys

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Within Western popular culture and online discourse, a “Nice Guy” is someone who enacts niceness for which they believe they are owed, deserving of, or entitled to something in return—especially the romantic or sexual attention of women. In this study, we examine the use of accounts in personal narratives told in an anonymous online discussion forum ...

On convexity-like inequalities (II)

open access: yesJournal of Numerical Analysis and Approximation Theory, 2003
We improve the classical Jensen inequality for convex functions by extending it to a wider class of functions. We also consider some weaker conditions for the weights occurring in this inequality.

On approximate Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The main results of this paper offer sufficient conditions in order that an approximate lower Hermite–Hadamard type inequality implies an approximate Jensen convexity property.

Thermodynamics of quantum dissipative many-body systems

open access: yes, 1999
We consider quantum nonlinear many-body systems with dissipation described within the Caldeira-Leggett model, i.e., by a nonlocal action in the path integral for the density matrix.
