Appraising Policies Through Social Multi‐Criteria Evaluation: Lessons From a Systematic Review of Applications

European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to renewed interest in analytical tools that address complex policy problems and move beyond linear‐rational approaches in policy appraisal, Social Multi‐Criteria Evaluation (SMCE) integrates participatory approaches with multi‐criteria analysis (MCA), thereby incorporating specialised knowledge and diverse social values and ...

Construction of Type 2 Poly-Changhee Polynomials and Its Applications

Journal of Mathematics, 2021
In this paper, we introduce type 2 poly-Changhee polynomials by using the polyexponential function. We derive some explicit expressions and identities for these polynomials, and we also prove some relationships between poly-Changhee polynomials and ...

Stable Cuts, NAC‐Colourings and Flexible Realisations of Graphs

Journal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A (2‐dimensional) realisation of a graph G $G$ is a pair ( G , p ) $(G,p)$, where p $p$ maps the vertices of G $G$ to R 2 ${{\mathbb{R}}}^{2}$. A realisation is flexible if it can be continuously deformed while keeping the edge lengths fixed, and rigid otherwise.

Psychological Contracts With Purpose: A Review and Path Forward

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review advances the understanding of psychological contracts (PCs) that include third‐party beneficiaries and transcend self‐interested goals, which we term “PCs with purpose.” PC theory has challenged the assumption that social exchange relies solely on balanced rewards and inducements, highlighting that individuals may wish to ...

Labeled graph rearrangements on matched and star products

Electronic Journal of Graph Theory and Applications
In this paper we present enumerative results for Stirling numbers of the first kind for two graph products, the matched product and the m-star, using the combinatorial model of rearrangements.

Novel Bernstein‐Kantorovich Type Operators

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we introduce a novel class of Bernstein‐Kantorovich operators, denoted as Kβn,θ$$ {K}_{\beta}^{n,\theta } $$, parameterized by 0<β<1$$ 0<\beta <1 $$ and θ>0$$ \theta >0 $$. We first derive a recurrence formula that facilitates the computation of moments and central moments and provide explicit expressions for Kβn,θ(tm;x)$$ {K}_{\

Probabilistic multi-Stirling numbers of the second kind associated with random variables

Applied Mathematics in Science and Engineering
This paper investigates a probabilistic extension of the multi-Stirling numbers of the second kind and a ‘poly' version of the probabilistic degenerate Lah-Bell polynomials.

The impact of COVID‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat is a significant source of food and income generation in Central Africa. However, there is little knowledge of how the assumed link between COVID‐19 and wild meat consumption has been discussed by the media and received by the public. In this study, we conducted media content analysis of 264 articles published in 2019–2020 related to

On r-Stirling Type Numbers of the First Kind

Turkish Journal of Analysis and Number Theory, 2019
Some combinatorial properties of -Stirling numbers are proved. Moreover, two asymptotic formulas for -Stirling numbers of the first kind derived using different methods are discussed and corresponding asymptotic formulas for the -Stirling type numbers of the first kind are obtained as corollaries.
