Operating in perpetual motion? Coping with the dark side of global boundary spanning

Global Strategy Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary This paper explores how individuals experience and cope with the demands of global boundary spanning in multinational enterprises (MNEs). We foreground temporary colocation as a modality through which mobile global boundary spanners repeatedly traverse multiple boundaries, triggering intense demands with adverse consequences ...

Worldwide Impact of Human Development and Inequality on the Prevalence of Asthma, Rhinoconjunctivitis and Eczema. Global Asthma Network's Ecological Study

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
Global Asthma Network Phase I surveyed children, adolescents, and adults worldwide to assess the prevalence of asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis, and eczema. Human Development Index (HDI) and Gini inequality index (GinI) were important explanatory factors for prevalence variability of these conditions, with hotspots in areas with high HDI and high GinI ...

“They Look At Us Like Parasites”: The Corporeal Stigmatization and Pathologization of Deportees in Tijuana, Mexico

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the embodied and institutional forms of marginalization experienced by Mexican deportees in Tijuana. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in clinics and social service organizations, it explores how deportees are corporeally stigmatized, denied legal recognition, and pathologized as addicts in need of coercive ...

Optimal Design of the Fuzzy Navigation System for a Mobile Robot Using Evolutionary Algorithms

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2013
This paper describes the optimization of an integration block within the proposed navigation control system for a mobile robot. The control blocks that the integrator will combine are two Fuzzy Inference Systems (FIS) in charge of tracking and reaction ...

Fuzzy Fireworks Algorithm Based on a Sparks Dispersion Measure

Algorithms, 2017
The main goal of this paper is to improve the performance of the Fireworks Algorithm (FWA). To improve the performance of the FWA we propose three modifications: the first modification is to change the stopping criteria, this is to say, previously, the ...

“They need to get a new program”: Experiential frictions with the gender of care in the 12 step program for ethnically Mexican women

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Using gender as an analytic, I parse out how the historical gendered, classed, and racialized roots of the 12 Step Program remain present in its therapeutic model, even in global contexts beyond its original formulation. These foundations continue to shape therapeutic logics and experience within the Program, in positive and negative ways.

An Extension of the Fuzzy Possibilistic Clustering Algorithm Using Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Techniques

Advances in Fuzzy Systems, 2017
In this work an extension of the Fuzzy Possibilistic C-Means (FPCM) algorithm using Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Techniques is presented, and this is done in order to improve the efficiency of FPCM algorithm.

Dynamic Fuzzy Logic Parameter Tuning for ACO and Its Application in the Fuzzy Logic Control of an Autonomous Mobile Robot

International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2013
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a population-based constructive meta-heuristic that exploits a form of past performance memory inspired by the foraging behaviour of real ants.

Imaging Point Source Groundwater Discharges in a Confined Coastal Aquifer Using Electrical Resistivity

Groundwater, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 405-421, July/August 2026.
Marine electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is applied to characterize point‐source submarine groundwater discharge (PSGD) along NW Yucatán. ERT observations and forward modeling constrain conduit detectability under varying hydrogeological conditions.

Analysis of Uncertainty Influence in the Design of Interval Type‐3 Fuzzy Controllers With Type‐3 Fuzzy Harmony Search: The Case of the Water Tank

AI &Innovation, Volume 1, Issue 1, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Nonlinear control systems are an integral part of complex engineering systems. The main difference from linear systems is their ability to adapt to changes and unpredictable conditions. These systems exhibit behaviors that cannot be predicted by simple linear equations, making them essential for applications requiring precise control over a ...
