With the emergence of Industry 5.0 and an increasing focus on human-centric approaches in manufacturing, the analysis of workers in production systems has gathered significant interest among researchers and practitioners. Previous studies have explored the impact of various aspects, such as skills, fatigue, and circadian rhythms, on human performance.

Healthcare waste disposal center location (HCWDCL) impacts the environment and the health of living beings. Different and sometimes contradictory criteria in determining the appropriate site location for disposing of healthcare waste (HCW) complicate the decision-making process. This research presents a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method, named PROMSIS, to determine the appropriate HCWDCL in a real case.

Article Synopsis
  • This study uses the econophysics approach to model income distribution in Iran from 2006 to 2018, focusing on three key distributions: Pareto, Lognormal, and Gibbs-Boltzmann.
  • The findings reveal that the income distribution in Iran largely deviates from the Pareto and Lognormal models, consistently aligning with the generalized Gibbs-Boltzmann distribution across all years analyzed.
  • The generalized Gibbs-Boltzmann distribution not only fits the income data more accurately than both the Pareto and Lognormal distributions but also provides a clearer explanation of income distribution dynamics in Iran.
