Resilience through diversity: The potential of modelling species and variety interactions to enhance resilience of production systems

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Agricultural production systems in the global North combine monocultures of specialised varieties and breeds with external interventions and inputs. Increasing the diversity of varieties, breeds and species may increase the system's resilience to external pressures through beneficial interactions.

Optimal Accelerated Life Testing Design Under Constrained Resources Using Double Deep Q‐Learning

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accelerated life tests (ALTs) are essential tools for estimating product reliability under high‐stress conditions, allowing failure data to be collected in reduced timeframes. However, planning effective ALT configurations is a complex task that requires selecting stress levels, test durations, and unit allocations while accounting for limited

Boolean Operators to Improve Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms for Designing Optical Networks

Journal of Microwaves, Optoelectronics and Electromagnetic Applications
The physical topology design (PTD) of optical networks is frequently accomplished by combining several solutions in an iterative way, especially if meta-heuristics are deployed for this purpose.

Advancing Sustainable Consumption in the Green Skincare Sector: Examining Celebrity Endorsements Through the Theory of Planned Behavior and Source Credibility Theory

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how celebrity endorsements drive sustainable consumption by shaping purchase intentions for green moisturizers in China, integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Source Credibility Theory (SCT). Surveying 700 consumers and applying partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM), we find celebrity ...

The Nexus Between Circular Economy and Sustainable Supply Chain Management: PRISMA Methodology

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The intersection of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and circular economy (CE) has attracted increasing academic and practical attention, emphasizing the need for integrated sustainability approaches. This study employs the PRISMA protocol and conceptualizes the CE–SSCM relationship as a dynamic system in which internal capabilities,

Epistemological Implications of a System—Theoretical Understanding for Sustainability Models

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the sense of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), global efforts to create a sustainable society will not be sufficiently successful under the current geopolitical and socio‐economic trends. For this reason, recent sustainability research has increasingly focused on systemic coherence, the subject of cognition, and psychological and ...

Fast Ejection Chain Algorithms for Vehicle Routing with Time Windows [PDF]

This paper introduces new ejection chain strategies to effectively target vehicle routing problems with time window constraints (VRPTW). Ejection chain procedures are based on the idea of compound moves that allow a variable number of solution components

Freedom of Scientific Inquiry and Democracy. A Systems‐Theoretical Approach

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The article examines the relationship between democracy and one of its inherent features: freedom of scientific inquiry—a multi‐layered concept closely intertwined with the broader notion of academic freedom—both of which are increasingly under threat worldwide. The paper advocates for the use of Luhmann's theoretical framework to analyse this
