Merging a first name genderedness table derived from Wikidata with Web of Science publication data, we develop a relative distributional framework that compares first name, article, and citation distributions by both disciplinary group and author role along a continuous genderedness spectrum. The lexical structure of the corpus proves stable across author roles, while productivity diverges substantially by disciplinary group: physical sciences show a consistent masculine lean, social sciences a feminine one, with amplitude remaining stable across groups despite these directional differences. Once productivity is controlled for, citation analyses net of publication volume reveal a pervasive deficit across disciplinary groups and author roles: only unambiguously masculine names accumulate citations in excess of their publication volume, while feminine, neutral, and moderately masculine names all fall short of it. This asymmetry is strongest in the life sciences and weakest in the physical sciences except among middle authors, where the pattern reflects the gender composition of large collaborative teams rather than evaluative bias in citing behavior. Taken together, these results are consistent with the hypothesis that first name genderedness shapes citation recognition through implicit bias operating in low-deliberation evaluative contexts.</p>","PeriodicalId":48810,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology","volume":"77 11","pages":"1418-1437"},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/asi.70115","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149205435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Precision agriculture, Industry 4.0, sustainable smart cities, and smart homes are just some of the more active areas in which the IoT is gaining space. The use of hierarchical networks in which the last mile is used to interconnect end-devices with gateways in charge of routing messages to and from the Internet is the most accepted network architecture. When messages have time constraints and nodes operate on batteries, the network organization should consider the cost of gateways, the total energy demand, the bandwidth utilization, and the satisfaction of time constraints. Planning the operation of such a network gives rise to a multi-objective optimization problem, which is considered in this work. This paper presents three main contributions: (i) a proof of the NP-hardness of this problem, (ii) an integer linear programming formulation for this problem, and (iii) a greedy heuristic and a multi-objective genetic framework for this problem. An extensive computational experimentation is presented, including an analysis of the Pareto front, a comparison between the proposed methods, and a performance evaluation of the greedy heuristic for large instances.

Its productivity in different forest conditions is well documented. To date, drones have been used for data collection and surveillance but not as an alternative to a TMS. Drone systems are now being developed for thinning operations for removal of smaller trees, but little is known about their productivity and configuration. Two important advantages of drone systems are reduced soil damage and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. We propose an evaluation approach that describes drone systems in detail and enables a direct comparison with a standard TMS. This approach is then tested on a large case study comprising 1171 harvest areas with diverse characteristics with regard to, for example, flying and forwarding distance, wetness, and steepness defined through detailed digital terrain models. We perform sensitivity analyses on a set of drone system configurations regarding the number of drones, battery system, system parameters, automation level, CO<sub>2</sub> tax level, and soil damage cost. The results show that the drone system requires less energy, but with no automation and only four drones in a system, the TMS system is more competitive in virtually all harvest areas. However, with eight drones in a system and a higher automation level, the drone system is competitive in up to 50% of the harvest areas.

First, we articulate the specific features that frame a global energy crisis as a unique type of SC large-scale systemic shocks characterized by a long-term disruption existence, disruption propagations (i.e., the ripple effect), a combination of immediate and delayed effects, cross-industry ripple effects, and mutual interrelations of SC and economic impacts. Second, we demonstrate how simulation-based methodology can be used to examine and predict the impacts of global energy crises on SC performance using the example of the Strait of Hormuz blockage and anyLogistix software. The major observation from the simulation experiments is that global energy crisis impacts resemble the COVID-19 pandemic patterns and ripple effects in 2020–2022 with reduced logistics capacities, delivery delays, and production shutdowns, supplemented by inflation effects observed in tariff turbulences in 2025. Other important factors influencing the shock impacts and propagation mechanisms are the duration of the energy crisis and SC viability. We observe that viable SCs with greater variety in production, supply, logistics, and energy structures are better able to absorb shocks. The outcomes of this research can be used by decision-makers to predict the operational and long-term impacts of global energy crises on SCs and to develop viability strategies. Our models are readily available to be used in practice for SC stress testing.

Using wind turbine blade end‐of‐life management, we develop a finite‐horizon dynamic principal–agent model of a circular manufacturer, a recycler and downstream competition with a virgin‐material manufacturer. We compare ex‐ante commitment to a time‐varying incentive sequence with adaptive governance, under which the performance‐based incentive can respond to observed recovery conditions and circular‐material availability before effort is chosen. Because the adaptive policy set contains the committed policy set, adaptive governance yields weakly greater gross circular‐manufacturer value. Numerically, its advantage comes from better incentive targeting, not higher average incentive intensity. Manufacturer value and certified recovery increase despite slightly lower average incentives and effort. In the numerical analysis, the value of adaptation rises with observable operating‐state heterogeneity, but adaptation is attractive in net terms only when these gains exceed monitoring, verification, information‐processing and contractual‐adjustment costs.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149198955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study addresses this gap by developing a taxonomy of eight dimensions and 25 characteristics to structure the MCABC analysis design space. Using a dataset of 108 configurations, cluster analysis identifies six recurring archetypes that serve as implementation-ready templates for inventory analysis. Archetype 2: artificial intelligence (AI)+-driven cluster minimalist enables rapid, cost-focused inventory structuring with minimal data and no expert input. In contrast, Archetype 1: AI+-driven complex ranker uses expert-weighted multi-criteria analysis to support holistic and sustainability oriented inventory strategies.

In this paper, we propose optimization approaches based on integer linear programming (ILP) and constraint programming (CP) models designed to support scheduling decisions in aircraft structural assembly, explicitly integrating shift-based workforce planning by deciding the number of workers by type assigned to each work shift over the planning horizon. The computational experiments, conducted with real data collected in a case study at a Brazilian aeronautical company, reveal that the proposed ILP and CP models, along with general-purpose solvers, are effective in solving realistic-sized instances.
