Warehousing 5.0 for the Future of the Logistics Industry
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Sgarbossa, Fabio; Grosse, Eric H.; Venkatadri, Uday; Ekren, Banu Y.
This editorial introduces and contextualises the International Journal of Production Research Special Issue on 'Warehousing 5.0 for the Future of the Logistics Industry'. Building on the principles of Industry 5.0, the concept of Warehousing 5.0 redefines warehouse operations as human-centric, intelligent, sustainable, and resilient systems. It emphasises the integration of advanced automation and analytics with human well-being, environmental stewardship, and data responsibility - shifting the focus from efficiency alone to a balanced socio-technical paradigm. The Special Issue received 45 submissions, from which 12 papers were accepted after rigorous peer review. Together, these studies advance understanding across four interconnected themes: (T1) Human Factors and Human-Centric Design, (T2) Optimisation and Efficiency in Robotics and Automation, (T3) Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Operations, and (T4) Data-Driven and AI-Enabled Warehousing. The contributions highlight innovations in ergonomic design, collaborative robotics, energy-aware scheduling, stochastic and multi-objective optimisation, wearable sensing, and AI-enabled vision systems, demonstrating how operational efficiency can coexist with human welfare and environmental responsibility. Synthesising across these themes, the editorial identifies key insights on human-technology symbiosis, sustainable digitalisation, and cyber-physical-social integration in warehouses. It also outlines future research directions on adaptive human-robot collaboration, circular logistics, responsible AI, and integrative modelling. The practical and policy implications discussed provide a framework for managers and decision-makers to implement Warehousing 5.0 principles effectively. Collectively, the Special Issue contributes to shaping a new generation of resilient, sustainable, and human-aware warehouses, reinforcing IJPR's leadership in advancing innovative and responsible production and logistics systems.

Time-Based Fire Resistance Performance of Axially Loaded, Circular, Long CFST Columns: Developing Analytical Design Models Using ANN and GEP Techniques
(MDPI, 2025) Nassani, Dia Eddin; Ozelmaci Durmaz, C. Ozge; Ipek, Suleyman; Mete Guneyisi, Esra
Concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns are composite structural elements preferred in various engineering structures due to their superior properties compared to those of traditional structural elements. However, fire resistance analyses are complex due to CFST columns consisting of two components with different thermal and mechanical properties. Significant challenges arise because current design codes and guidelines do not provide clear guidance for determining the time-dependent fire performance of these composite elements. This study aimed to address the existing design gap by investigating the fire behavior of circular long CFST columns under axial compressive load and developing robust, accurate, and reliable design models to predict their fire performance. To this end, an up-to-date database consisting of 62 data-points obtained from experimental studies involving variable material properties, dimensions, and load ratios was created. Analytical design models were meticulously developed using two advanced soft computing techniques: artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic expression programming (GEP). The model inputs were determined as six main independent parameters: steel tube diameter (D), wall thickness (ts), concrete compressive strength (fc), steel yield strength (fsy), the slenderness ratio (L/D), and the load ratio (mu). The performance of the developed models was comprehensively compared with experimental data and existing design models. While existing design formulas could not predict time-based fire performance, the developed models demonstrated superior prediction accuracy. The GEP-based model performed well with an R-squared value of 0.937, while the ANN-based model achieved the highest prediction performance with an R-squared value of 0.972. Furthermore, the ANN model demonstrated its excellent prediction capability with a minimal mean absolute percentage error (MAPE = 4.41). Based on the nRMSE classification, the GEP-based model proved to be in the good performance category with an nRMSE value of 0.15, whereas the ANN model was in the excellent performance category with a value of 0.10. Fitness function (f) and performance index (PI) values were used to assess the models' accuracy; the ANN (f = 1.13; PI = 0.05) and GEP (f = 1.19; PI = 0.08) models demonstrated statistical reliability by offering values appropriate for the expected targets (f approximate to 1; PI approximate to 0). Consequently, it was concluded that these statistically convincing and reliable design models can be used to consistently and accurately predict the time-dependent fire resistance of axially loaded, circular, long CFST columns when adequate design formulas are not available in existing codes.

The Interaction between Histone Acetylation and Methylation with ROS Metabolism in Plants
(Springer, 2026) Ozgur, Rengin; Turkan, Ismail; Sevim, Gulcin; Keskinoglu, Merve; Gumus, B. Ozlem; Uzilday, Baris
Plants are constantly challenged by various abiotic stresses throught their life cycle and have evolved complex defence systems to ensure survival. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as byproducts of diverse metabolic pathways, acting not only as damaging molecules but also as essential signaling mediators at basal levels. Recent evidence indicates that enzymes involved in ROS/redox metabolism can influence gene expression by modulating histone modifications, particularly acetylation and methylation. Nevertheless, the precise molecular mechanisms linking ROS dynamics to epigenetic regulation remain poorly understood. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the interplay between ROS metabolism and global histone modifications in plants, highlighting how these interactions shape transcriptional reprogramming under stress conditions. Furthermore, we discuss how this crosstalk contributes to plant defence strategies against abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and heavy metal exposure, and we identify emerging questions and future research directions in this rapidly developing field.

The Effect of Institutional Quality on Banking Performance in Emerging Countries
(Savez Ekonomista Vojvodine, 2026) Celik, Ilyas; Halac, Umut; Durak, Mustafa Gurol
Banks play a crucial role in the economy and improving their performance leads to healthier economic activities. Therefore, the methods of efficiently measuring bank performance need to be highlighted. The CAMELS rating system has become the most comprehensive and contemporary measurement method in this context. Various factors, both bank-specific and countryspecific, affect bank performance. Among these factors, the Worldwide Governance Indicators reflect the public's perception of institutional quality, a proxy for country-specific factors. This study aims to analyze the impact of the Worldwide Governance Indicators on bank performance, using a sample of 1649 banks in 26 emerging countries within the 2008-2018 period. The system GMM results demonstrate that these indicators significantly affect banking performance in different aspects and directions.
Sustainable Design in a Changing Climate: Resilience and Adaptation Strategies for Tourism’s Built Environment
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Bozkurt, Eray
Tourism simultaneously contributes to the causes of climate change and suffers from its consequences. While it supports global economies through employment, it faces growing risks from rising temperatures, extreme weather, and disrupted seasonal patterns. At the same time, tourism's built environment intensifies climate change through energy use emissions and waste impacts. The link between tourism, the built environment, and climate change has become a critical area of research, understanding the correlations between these factors and their implications. A mixed-methods review of peer-reviewed studies (2003-2025) reveals that 95% of examined tourism infrastructure lacks climate-adaptive building features, highlighting the urgency of sustainable retrofitting design solutions. This study provides a three-part analysis of sustainable design: (1) it identifies key sustainability and resilience strategies; (2) it explores the conceptual frameworks underpinning them; and (3) it assesses the barriers to implementation. Throughout, the analysis highlights how these elements advance integrated environmental, social, and economic outcomes. Despite limitations of existing research, an integrative framework emerges that combines sustainable design, community participation, and policy innovation.
Sustainable Design Considerations for Product Personalisation Adopting Half-Way Design Approach (1)
(Middle East Technical Univ, 2025) Dogan, Cagla; Ozan Avci, Ezgi
Product personalisation can potentially prolong product lifetimes by fostering product attachment, which can result in care behaviours such as maintenance and repair. To contribute to environmental and social sustainability, personalisation strategies should also incorporate local production methods, local materials and skills, support re-use and upgradeability of product parts, and enable evolving products. This study focuses on half-way design approach, which facilitates personalisation while embedding these sustainability principles. The study employs research through co-design methodology that integrates a co-design process into the research through design process and explores sustainable design considerations for product personalisation. Two design scenarios, enabling affordability through re-use and empowering craft skills, were developed considering diverse target user groups' personalisation goals. Based on these scenarios, two diverse half-way lighting design explorations were developed as generative toolkits. Adopting co-design process, various participants personalised these generative toolkits in two connected generative research studies. In the first study, sustainable design considerations were identified, which informed the refinement of both the generative toolkit and research design for the second study. Further personalisation of the second generative toolkit revealed new insights in this second phase. The paper reveals key dimensions and design considerations for sustainable product personalisation adopting half-way design approach within the context of lighting design.
Supporting SDG-Oriented Knowledge Construction and Idea Diffusion in Online Higher Education
(MDPI, 2026) Ozarslan, Yasin; Ozan, Ozlem
This study investigates how online discussion forums in an undergraduate Social Responsibility course support students' SDG-oriented idea generation and collaborative knowledge construction. It also examines how participation roles, behavioral intensity, interaction-network influence, and goal-aligned discourse shape idea visibility and discussion. Using a mixed-methods learning analytics design, we analyzed forum logs and message texts across five SDG-linked themes (SDGs 6, 7, 12, 14, 15) by classifying contributor types, computing a Behavioral Participation Index (BPI), constructing a directed reply network and estimating PageRank centrality, extracting solution proposals, scoring semantic goal alignment, modelling weekly temporal dynamics, and fitting multivariate regressions predicting visibility (reads) and engagement (replies) while controlling for theme, message level, time, PageRank, and BPI. Results show role-differentiated participation (N = 514), meaningful cross-theme solution proposals that varied across academic groups, and peak-driven weekly activity. PageRank centrality emerged as the strongest and most consistent predictor of both visibility and engagement, whereas goal alignment showed weaker direct effects after controls, suggesting that SDG-aligned ideas do not necessarily diffuse without structural embeddedness. Among highly goal-aligned posts, specific communicative features differentiated which proposals attracted attention and interaction. These findings suggest that SDG forum design benefits from structured interaction pathways and scaffolded discourse strategies to support equitable diffusion and productive sustainability dialogue. The study does not evaluate the normative quality of sustainability positions but examines how interaction structures and discourse features shape the visibility and diffusion of student-generated ideas.
Space-Magnitude Associations Modulate the Familiar-Size Stroop Effect in Visual Size Judgments
(Springer Heidelberg, 2025) Dural, Seda; Cetinkaya, Hakan; Sefikoglu, Melike
The familiar-size Stroop effect shows how prior knowledge of an object's real-world size influences visual size judgments, slowing reactions when familiar and visual sizes conflict. This study examined how space-magnitude associations, specifically mental number line (MNL) compatibility, interact with Stroop congruency. Participants compared the visual sizes of two objects, ignoring real-world sizes, and identified either the smaller or the larger object across four conditions: Stroop-congruent/MNL-compatible, Stroop-congruent/MNL-incompatible, Stroop-incongruent/MNL-compatible, and Stroop-incongruent/MNL-incompatible. Tasks followed small-then-large or large-then-small identification sequences. Results showed MNL compatibility modulates Stroop interference: MNL-compatible (small-left, large-right) presentations reduced interference, while MNL-incompatible (large-left, small-right) presentations increased it, depending on task type and order. RT distribution analyses revealed MNL effects emerged in slower bins for Stroop-congruent trials and faster bins for Stroop-incongruent trials within small-then-large sequences. These findings suggest that space-magnitude associations shape the familiar-size Stroop effect, revealing a complex relationship between spatial and conceptual representations in size judgment.

Simheuristic Framework for Optimizing Urban Mobility at Signalized Roundabouts
(DAAAM International Vienna, 2026) Gokce, M. A.; Qadri, S. S. S. M.; Oner, E.
Managing high traffic volumes and traffic congestion at signalized intersections remains a critical urban challenge. Appropriate traffic signal timing (TST) and phase sequencing are essential for ensuring smooth traffic flow. This study presents a microscopic simulation-based heuristic optimization (Simheuristic) framework using the Genetic Algorithm (GA) for optimizing the TST of Four-Legged Two-stops Signalized Roundabouts (FLTSR). The framework is tested using the actual traffic flow through a microscopic simulation model developed in Simulation for Urban Mobility (SUMO). Within this framework, the integrated GA searches for the green TSTs to minimize vehicular queue lengths, while SUMO is used to evaluate those timings. Additionally, four different phase sequence settings are evaluated to find the efficient configuration. The proposed approach is benchmarked against Webster's method and the existing TST plan. In the best-case scenario, the proposed framework improves vehicular flow by mitigating the average time loss, average waiting time, and the average number of vehicles in a queue at the FLTSR up to 35.83 %, 51.91 %, and 50.97 %, respectively, compared to the current setting.

Rural Production and Land Use at Iron Age Clazomenae, Ionia
(Springer, 2026) Ersoy, Yaşar; Tuğcu, Irfan; Akgeyik, Ipek; Koparal, Elif; Maltas, Tom; Tanzer, Julia; Şahoğlu, Vasıf
We present new evidence for the nature of agricultural production and land use in the Iron Age Aegean through archaeobotanical remains recovered from the site of Clazomenae in Ionia, western Anatolia. The spectrum of crops and wild resources utilised at the site largely conforms to those recorded elsewhere in the Iron Age Aegean but includes rare finds of caper and sloe that support their status as likely foodstuffs in the region. High proportions of barley from the site prior to the Archaic period align with other assemblages in western Anatolia to reflect a crop signature distinct from neighbouring regions. We suggest that a shift towards free-threshing wheat in the Archaic period may result from an increase in rural settlement and more intensive cultivation of the landscape. Nut and fruit remains align with zooarchaeological evidence attesting to the importance of upland forests as a natural resource within the hinterlands of the site. This is harmonious with a localised model of farming and land use within the Iron Age Aegean, although some value-added products are likely to have been traded across maritime exchange networks.
Role of Sirtuins in Heat Stress Tolerance under Elevated CO2 in Arabidopsis: Photosynthesis, Antioxidant System and Redox Regulation
(Springer, 2026) Alp-Turgut, Fatma Nur; Arikan-Abdulveli, Busra; Turkan, Ismail; Yildiztugay, Evren; Ozfidan-Konakci, Ceyda
Current knowledge about what the protective roles of elevated CO2 concentration (eCO(2)) on chlorophyll fluorescence, PSII photochemistry and antioxidant capacity of Arabidopsis with heat stress remains insufficient. Besides, there is a lack of information on the tolerance mechanism of plants against stress in the presence or absence of sirtuin genes. This study aimed to investigate how eCO(2) (800 ppm) mitigated heat stress (36 degrees C)-dependent oxidative damages through analyzing growth, water content, gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, electron flux efficiency in PSII, antioxidant capacity and lipid peroxidation in Arabidopsis thaliana cv. Columbia-0 (Col-0) and its sirtuin-deficient mutant (srt2) plants. The focus was on investigating the function of the SRT2 gene, particularly in comparison with wild-type plants. Therefore, the sirtuin inhibitor (sirtinol, 1 & micro;M S) was applied to Col-0 plants and the effects of ambient (400 ppm) and eCO(2) heat (H) under stress were also examined. The reductions in growth and water content of heat stress-treated Col-0 and srt2 mutants were eliminated by eCO(2) exposure. The elevated CO2 was removed the reductions on chlorophyll fluorescence, carbon assimilation rate and carboxylation efficiency dependent by H stress in Col-0 plants, but not in srt2 mutants. S supplementation to Col-0 plants produced effects similar to those observed under stress across all measured parameters. While the structural indicators and electron fluxes of PSII and performance indices were disrupted by H stress, eCO(2) provided the positive effects on the photochemistry of PSII in the wild type of Arabidopsis. Interestingly, the eCO(2)-triggered alleviation against stress in srt2 mutants was not maintain. The induced (SOD and GR) and reduced activities (POX, APX, AsA/DHA and GSH redox state) of antioxidant systems point to increased H2O2 accumulation in both Col-0 (123%) and srt2 mutant (40%). Both of the Arabidopsis plants experienced oxidative stress as proved by the high levels of lipid peroxidation. eCO(2) under H stress resulted in remarkable decline in H2O2 accumulation, which contributed to POX and AsA regeneration in Col-0 and POX, AsA and GSH redox status in srt2. Sirtinol application to Col-0 plants also eliminated eCO(2)-mediated protection on TBARS content. This study provides the first evidence of SRT2 involvement in CO2-mediated heat stress tolerance.
Role of Market and Nonmarket-Based Environmental Policies, Energy Use, and Income on Environmental Sustainability: The Case of G7 Countries
(Elsevier, 2025) Gafarli, Galib; Taskin, Dilvin; Depren, Ozer; Ayhan, Fatih; Kartal, Mustafa Tevfik
Because the role of stringent environmental policies, energy use, and eco-friendly economic growth is highly critical in combating climate-related problems and preserving environmental quality, this study uncovers the incremental impact of aforementioned factors on load capacity factor (LCF) in G7 countries between 2000 and 2020 by performing a kernel-based regularized least squares (KRLS) model. The outcomes show that (i) gross domestic product (GDP) has only a supporting impact on LCF in the USA; (ii) market-based environmental policies are beneficial in Canada, France, Japan, and the USA; (iii) nonmarket-based environmental policies are helpful in France and USA; (iv) renewable energy use has positive support in Germany, Italy, Great Britain, and USA; (v) fossil energy use is harmful in all countries; (vi) the KRLS model has a high prediction performance; (vii) with regarding to G7 countries, the USA has the most positive condition. Thus, the study empirically highlights the average and pointwise incremental impact of the factors considered on LCF across countries and percentiles. Accordingly, the study discusses various policy options, such as mainly focusing on market-based environmental policies through making required regulations, considering also nonmarket-based environmental policies as a supportive mechanism, relying on further use of renewable energy through support packages and incentives, which should be taken into account in case of any additional measures application in the environmental area.
