THE CONCEPT "SINN DES LEBENS" IN PHILOSOPHY AND PSYCHOLOGY by V. Y. Popov, Е. V. Popova

“…Analytical philosophy and existentialism appear to be diametrically opposed to the life-purpose anthropological problems, but they attempt to solve this problem by understanding the absurdity of human existence and language from different angles of view. The most reasonable concept of meaning in psychology can be considered Frankl’s logotherapy, which, despite certain drawbacks, remains the most significant in modern Western psychology. …”

Multi‐objective multi‐period optimal site and size of distributed generation along with network reconfiguration by Ghulam Abbas, Zhi Wu, Aamir Ali

“…For better exploration and exploitation, the proposed algorithm integrating the constraint domination principle evolves the population from the feasible and infeasible search space with the help of a novel angle‐based density section. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms previously published Multi‐objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEAs) by discovering a vast collection of uniformly spaced non‐dominated solutions in a single simulation run. …”
