Allocation of Indivisible Items With a Common Preference Graph: Minimizing Total Dissatisfaction

open access: yesNetworks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allocating indivisible items among a set of agents is a frequently studied discrete optimization problem. In the setting considered in this work, the agents' preferences over the items are assumed to be identical. We consider a very recent measure for the overall quality of an allocation which does not rely on numerical valuations of the items.

Extending Structured Dialogic Design With Multi‐Criteria Evaluation: Toward Sustainable Multi‐Species Governance

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents an innovative integration of structured democratic dialogue with a multi‐criteria evaluation step designed to strengthen participatory decision‐making for complex socio‐ecological challenges. Conducted virtually with Communities of Practice focused on multi‐species governance, the process combined systemic mapping of ...

A Bird's Eye View of English Grammar: Connecting the Dots in Two Dimensions

open access: yesTESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past few decades, discussions on grammar instruction have primarily focused on teaching methodologies, such as whether grammar should be taught explicitly or implicitly, and whether the focus should be on form or forms. This paper, however, shifts the focus to grammar itself, aiming to provide a “shape” for pedagogical grammar.

Social network dynamics under experimental manipulations of predation risk and food abundance in wild rock hyraxes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study combines replicated experimental manipulation, social network analysis, network permutations and meta‐analysis to disentangle active from spatially‐induced changes in animal network structure in the wild. It reveals that short‐term environmental changes primarily alter space use, with limited effects on social structure.

Speeding Up Floyd–Warshall’s Algorithm to Compute All-Pairs Shortest Paths and the Transitive Closure of a Graph

open access: yesAlgorithms
Floyd–Warshall’s algorithm is a widely-known procedure for computing all-pairs shortest paths in a graph of n vertices in Θ(n3) time complexity. A simplified version of the same algorithm computes the transitive closure of the graph with the same time ...

Construction of Transitive Closure of Binary Multirelations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Binary multirelations have received attention in recent years as a semantic domain of nondeterministic programming languages. Also, it is known that binary multirelations provide a model of Parikh’s game logic. The iteration operator plays a central role

Parallel naive and semi-naive transitive closure evaluation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Transitive closure operation is an important extension to relational algebra. The two most well-known methods to compute transitive closure are naive and semi-naive approaches. We give the optimal parallel versions of these two algorithms by using double-

Untested Feasibility as Progressive Performativity: Towards a Desirable Future Through Transformative Responsible Management Education

open access: yesBritish Journal of Management, EarlyView.
Abstract The call for transformation in Management Education (ME) has intensified amid global crises, including the climate emergency, social inequality, and recurrent corporate misconduct. While Responsible Management Education (RME) has emerged in response to these challenges, it often struggles to move beyond symbolic gestures towards substantive ...
