Competitive exclusion and coexistence in a two-strain pathogen model with diffusion by Azmy S. Ackleh, Keng Deng, Yixiang Wu

“…When we assume that the diffusion rates are equal while the transmission and recovery rates are heterogeneous, then there are two possible outcomes under the condition $R_0 >1$: 1) Competitive exclusion where one strain dies out. 2) Coexistence between the two strains. …”

PROPER AND ISOLATED EFFICIENCIES IN MULTIOBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS by Thái Doãn Chương

“…We employ some advanced tools of variational analysis and generalised differentiation such as the nonsmooth version of Fermat's rule, the limiting sub-differential of maximum functions, and the sum rules for the Frechet and Mordukhovich sub-differentials to establish necessary conditions for (local) properly efficient solutions and (local) isolated minimizers of a multi-objective optimisation problem involving inequality and equality constraints. Sufficient conditions for the existence of such solutions are also supplied under assumptions of (local) convex/affine functions or L-invex-infine functions defined in terms of the limiting sub-differential of locally Lipschitz functions. …”

Género y gestión del riesgo de desastres: análisis comparado de la agenda internacional y latinoamericana y caribeña by Ana Gabriela Fernández-Saavedra, Rosario González-Arias, Sandra Dema-Moreno

“…The article carries out a comparative documentary analysis in a double sense: on the one hand, on the incorporation of the gender perspective in the main multilateral agreements on disaster risk reduction approved in the international, Latin American, and Caribbean sphere and, on the other, on the treatment of disasters risk reduction in the equality agenda in the same territorial area. The results show that there has been an accelerated process of incorporating the gender perspective in disaster risk management on a global scale, but not in Latin America and the Caribbean, a geographical context in which said evolution has not been homogeneous or constant. …”
