Development of a robust multi-objective model for green capacitated location-routing under crisis conditions with time value of money by Shima Roosta, Seyed Milad Mirnajafi Zadeh, Hamid Bazargan Harandi

“…With the rising awareness about the environmental impacts of transportation over the past years, using green logistics to mitigate these impacts has become increasingly important.Methodology: To compensative a gap in the literature, this paper presents a robust bi-objective Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model for the Green Capacitated Location-Routing Problem (G-CLRP) with demand uncertainty and the possibility of failure in depots and routes.Findings: The final result of this robust multi-objective model is to set up the depots and select the routes that offer the highest reliability (maximizing network service) while imposing the lowest cost and environmental pollution. …”

Pentecostal Churches and Capitalism in a South African Township: Towards a Communism of the Market? by Thibaut Dubarry

“… With reference to two Pentecostal churches in the Kayamandi suburb of Stellenbosch, South Africa, we consider the ways in which capitalism and the Pentecostal spirit interrelate in a contemporary South Africa. We start off by acknowledging that many forms of Pentecostalism now tend to follow the paradigm set by neo-Pentecostalism, and that the same might be true of our two church communities, Revival Fire Ministries, and the Apostolic Faith Mission, even if the latter is more typically regarded as part of the classical Pentecostal movement in South Africa. …”
