A Novel Discrete Global-Best Harmony Search Algorithm for Solving 0-1 Knapsack Problems

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2014
In order to better solve discrete 0-1 knapsack problems, a novel global-best harmony search algorithm with binary coding, called DGHS, is proposed. First, an initialization based on a greedy mechanism is employed to improve the initial solution quality ...

Bricks, knots, and bodies: Material encounters and the affective making of masculinity

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper examines how creative research methods do not just capture boys' experiences of masculinity, but actively materialise them. Drawing on two arts‐based activities used in school‐based fieldwork (a mannequin‐based exercise with one participant and a Lego‐building workshop with a small peer group), the paper analyses how materials ...

Honesty in Difficult Conversations: Insights From Healthcare Professionals

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT When being honest is expected to cause emotional distress to those it concerns, it can be difficult to practice. This study examines how honesty is understood and accounted for in situations of emotional, moral and relational complexity. Drawing on semi‐structured interviews with 16 Danish healthcare professionals (8 doctors and 8 nurses), we ...

Rewarded to Reject? Exploring Motivational Roots of Idea Rejection in Teams

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Teams hold the potential for creative performance, yet diverse perspectives may also lead to the premature rejection of unconventional ideas. Because such rejection can prevent teams from realizing their creative potential, understanding what motivational processes drive idea rejection during brainstorming is critical. Drawing on the Motivated

Beyond Reality Avoidance: Unraveling the Paradox of Escapism Through Self‐Monitoring and Autonomy Mechanisms for Consumers' Life Satisfaction

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study introduces the Paradox of Escapism, exploring how the act of escaping reality can evolve from a short‐term avoidance strategy to a mechanism for self‐regulation and enhanced life satisfaction. Employing five rigorous, multimethod investigations, including qualitative interviews and sentiment analysis (Study 1), Structural Equation ...

A relation between the knapsack and group knapsack problems [PDF]

, 1998
In this paper, we investigate a relation between the equality constrained Knapsack and Group Knapsack problems. This relation concerns the periodicity of optimal solutions of the Knapsack problem. We study the smallest integer b∗ such that for every b⩾b∗,
