Operations research and analytical tools offering practical wisdom have paid scant attention to this overarching problem. Motivated by this lacuna, this study considers two of the most prevalent categories of human trafficking: forced labor and forced sex. Using one of the largest available datasets due to Counter-Trafficking Data Collective (CTDC), we examine patterns related to forced sex and forced labor. Our study uses a two-phase approach focusing on explainability: Phase 1 involves logistic regression (LR) segueing to association rules analysis and Phase 2 employs Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) to uncover intricate pathways leading to human trafficking. This combined approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the factors contributing to human trafficking, effectively addressing the limitations of conventional methods. We confirm and challenge some of the key findings in the extant literature and call for better prevention strategies. Our study goes beyond the pretext of analytics usage by prescribing how to incorporate our results in combating human trafficking.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8215,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Operations Research","volume":"335 2","pages":"761 - 795"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43397576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The economic lot scheduling problem (ELSP), which is still of interest to researchers, has addressed this issue. A recent attempt by Rossi et al. (Omega 71:106–113, 2017) addressed the problem while avoiding scheduling. Notwithstanding their relevance, these approaches present limitations in adapting the EPQ model to multi-product ‘pull’ production systems. The present work attempts to overcome these limitations through the development of a methodology based on the equation proposed by Mallya (1992) and restricting items production frequencies to define feasible solutions while avoiding scheduling. The feasibility and performance of the proposed model are evaluated through its application to well-known benchmarking instances (Bomberger’s, Eilon’s and Mallya’s problems) and a large set of test problems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8215,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Operations Research","volume":"332 1-3","pages":"85 - 105"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42767456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The different behaviors of countries in the import/export networks at the four stages synthetically reflect their position in the global network of copper production and consumption. The trade flows of four commodities related to the extraction, refining and processing of copper of 142 nations with population above 2 millions based on the UN Comtrade website (https://comtrade.un.org/data/), in five years from 2017 to 2021, were considered. The observed trade flows in each year have been modelled as a directed multilayer network. Then the countries have been grouped according to their structural equivalence in the international copper flow by using a Multilayer Stochastic Block Model. To put further insight in the obtained community structure of the countries, a deep learning model based on adapting the node2vec to a multilayer setting has been used to embed the countries in an Euclidean plane. To identify groups of nations that play the same role across time, some distances between the parameters obtained in consecutive years were introduced. We observe that 97 countries out of 142 consistently occupy the same position in the copper supply chain throughout the five years, while the other 45 move through different roles in the copper supply chain.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8215,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Operations Research","volume":"339 1-2","pages":"937 - 963"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2023-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10479-023-05419-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43457132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
