Evolutionary algorithms for optimizing pessimistic bilevel problems and min-max problems
This thesis investigates two distinct but related optimization problems: bilevel and minmax problems, in the context of evolutionary algorithms (EAs). Bilevel optimization involves hierarchical decision-making, where decisions at the upper level are subject to constraints defined by the solutions of an optimization problem at the lower level. These problems are …
Use of information and communication technologies, data and knowledge to increase the impact of digital environments on food choice
Food and eating environments play a crucial role in shaping consumers' food choices. As food decision-making shifts more into the digital environment, it is essential to understand the impact of this setting on consumer's dietary behaviours. Online platforms and mobile apps provide great opportunities for the promotion of healthier food …
Study of inconsistencies in health risk assessment: the role of assessment context in decision analysis aimed at their reduction
The area of risk assessment continues to be challenged by foundational issues that limit its potential to inform public health decisions. This doctoral work improves our understanding of the interaction between science and public and environmental health policy by addressing specific challenges in risk assessment within and for decision-making. The …
