Summary: This study develops a vaccine supply chain (VSC) to ensure sustainable distribution during a global crisis in a developing economy. The model considers multiple objectives, including minimizing cost, GHG emissions, and maximizing job opportunities. Two metaheuristics are used to solve the model, and the TOPSIS model is integrated to prioritize environmental sustainability. The results show that the MOSEO-TOPSIS model performs better than the MOFEPSO-TOPSIS model and can help establish a VSC with enhanced economic, environmental, and social sustainability.

Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.
