Multiobjective Topology Optimization of Spatial-Structure Joints by Nanhai Zhu, Jinlei Liu

“…According to the single-objective optimization results, the objective function of the multiobjective topology optimization of joints is established by using the compromise programming method, and the weight coefficient of each static load condition is determined by using the analytic hierarchy process. Subsequently, under the constraint of the volume fraction, the multiobjective topology optimization of joints is realized by minimizing the multiobjective function. …”

Gendering the Decision-Making Positions in Higher Education: A Cross-Sectional Gender Audit in Three Selected Universities in Malawi by Juliet Chiwaya Kamwendo

“…In addition, all three institutions suffer gender-blind promotion criteria and systematic institutional resistance which makes it difficult for women to ascend to decision-making positions hence the hierarchy is highly dominated by males. The paper provides recommendations as follows: (i) promoting women in research in order to allow more women in positions of decision-making, (ii) repurposing the institution gender policies, (iii) women agency change of mindset and make concerted efforts to emancipate themselves from negative stereotypes and barriers in institutions. …”

Les appels de Margaret Fell pour convertir les Juifs : de l’émancipation à la soumission chez la première femme Quaker by Frédéric Herrmann

“…Her status both as a woman and as a Dissenter from religious orthodoxy excluded her from power and confined her to the bottom of the patriarchal and holy hierarchy. This led her to see a likeness, even a similarity, in the plight of the Jews, which may explain why her works on the ‘Calling’ of the Jews are far more irenicist in tone and nature than those of most of her contemporaries. …”
