Heliyon 2024; 10:e26311. [PMID: 38420387 PMCID: PMC10900424 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e26311] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2023] [Revised: 02/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
The effective operation of intangible assets in commercial sports events can bring long-term, sustainable, and large-scale economic benefits to sports events. However, currently, in the operation of commercial sports events, the lack of experience in hosting events often hinders the development of intangible assets that should have created higher profits, and cannot achieve the expected value. The intangible assets operational management performance (IAOMP) evaluation of commercial sporting events is the multiple-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM). The Logarithmic TODIM (LogTODIM) and TOPSIS technique was brought forward the MAGDM. The interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) are brought forward as the useful technique for coping with uncertain and fuzzy information during the IAOMP evaluation of commercial sporting events. In this study, the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy number Logarithmic TODIM-TOPSIS (IVIFN-LogTODIM-TOPSIS) technique is brought forward the MAGDM under IVIFSs circumstances. Finally, the numerical example for IAOMP evaluation of commercial sporting events is brought forward to verify the IVIFN-LogTODIM-TOPSIS technique. The main contribution of this study is brought forward: (1) the LogTODIM-TOPSIS was extended to IVIFSs in light with MEREC model; (2) the MEREC model is brought forward to derive weight in light with score information values under IVIFSs circumstances. (3) the IVIFN-LogTODIM-TOPSIS is brought forward for MAGDM under IVIFSs circumstances; (4) the numerical example for IAOMP evaluation of commercial sporting events and several different comparative analysis is brought forward to verify the IVIFN-LogTODIM-TOPSIS model.

Optimized multiple-attribute group decision-making through employing probabilistic hesitant fuzzy TODIM and EDAS technique and application to teaching quality evaluation of international Chinese course in higher vocational colleges. Heliyon 2024; 10:e25758. [PMID: 38379981 PMCID: PMC10877251 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e25758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024] Open
Abstract
With the construction and development of the "the Belt and Road", the international community has an increasing demand for high-quality technical and skilled talents who both understand Chinese and have an international perspective. Exploring a Chinese curriculum system suitable for the development of international students is conducive to promoting the international development of vocational education, improving the quality of international student training, providing talent support for Chinese and foreign enterprises, and promoting the "going out" of Chinese enterprises and international production capacity cooperation. The training of international students in higher vocational colleges starts late, has little experience, lacks theoretical innovation, and lacks the development characteristics of vocational education. The teaching quality evaluation of international Chinese course in higher vocational colleges is multiple-attributes group decision-making (MAGDM). Recently, the TODIM and EDAS technique has been employed to manage MAGDM. The probabilistic hesitant fuzzy sets (PHFSs) are employed as a useful tool for depicting uncertain information during the teaching quality evaluation of international Chinese course in higher vocational colleges. In this paper, the probabilistic hesitant fuzzy TODIM-EDAS (PHF-TODIM-EDAS) technique is built to manage the MAGDM under PHFSs. Finally, the numerical example for teaching quality evaluation of international Chinese course in higher vocational colleges is employed to show the PHF-TODIM-EDAS technique. The main contribution of this paper is outlined: (1) the TODIM technique based on EDAS technique has been extended to PHFSs based on CRITIC technique; (2) the CRITIC technique is employed to derive weight numbers under PHFSs. (3) the PHF-TODIM-EDAS technique is founded to manage the MAGDM under PHFSs; (4) a numerical case study for teaching quality evaluation of international Chinese course in higher vocational colleges and some comparative analysis is supplied to validate the proposed PHF-TODIM-EDAS technique.

Sci Rep 2023; 13:8726.

Abstract
Selecting a supplier for emergency medical supplies during disasters can be considered a typical multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problem. MAGDM is an intriguing common problem that is rife with ambiguity and uncertainty. It becomes much more challenging when governments and medical care enterprises adjust their priorities in response to the escalating problems and the effectiveness of the actions taken in different countries. As decision-making problems become increasingly complicated nowadays, a growing number of experts are likely to use T-spherical fuzzy sets (T-SFSs) rather than exact numbers. T-SFS is a novel extension of fuzzy sets that can fully convey ambiguous and complicated information in MAGDM. The objective of this paper is to propose a MAGDM methodology based on interaction and feedback mechanism (IFM) and T-SFS theory. In it, we first introduce T-SF partitioned Bonferroni mean (T-SFPBM) and T-SF weighted partitioned Bonferroni mean (T-SFWPBM) operators to fuse the evaluation information provided by experts. Then, an IFM is designed to achieve a consensus between multiple experts. In the meantime, we also find the weights of experts by using T-SF information. Furthermore, in light of the combination of IFM and T-SFWPBM operator, an MAGDM algorithm is designed. Finally, an example of supplier selection for emergency medical supplies is provided to demonstrate the viability of the suggested approach. The influence of parameters on decision results and comparative analysis with the existing methods confirmed the reliability and accuracy of the suggested approach.

Abstract
Circular supply chain management (CSCM), which incorporates circular thinking into supply chain management, promotes supply chain sustainability by offering a novel and compelling viewpoint. In the CSCM, supplier selection is crucial in establishing a competitive edge among businesses by decreasing environmental degradation and related supply chain expenses. This paper aims to propose a novel two-phase group decision-making approach, which combines the picture fuzzy Analytical Hierarchical Process (PF-AHP) and grey Measurement of Alternatives and Ranking According to Compromise Solution (MARCOS-G) model to select railway material suppliers within the scope of circular economy perspective. In group decision-making, a picture fuzzy number-based approach aggregates individual decision makers'(DMs) opinions and provides a lower level of computing complexity and a higher level of performance. The PF-AHP has been used to produce the weights of the criteria, and the MARCOS-G technique has been used to rank the suppliers and choose the most appropriate one. The results and verification of the novel method are carried out throughout a comprehensive sensitivity analysis. For this purpose, 50 scenarios with changes in the weight values of criteria were developed. In the validation analysis, a comparison with other grey COPRAS, TOPSIS, ARAS and WASPAS methods were performed. Due to the ranking results obtained from Spearman's correlation analyses, the MARCOS-G is almost consistent and it can be seen that the A4 remains the top supplier in all 50 scenarios.

Abstract
Business English teaching quality evaluation Business English is a new type of composite specialty, which is a discipline innovation made by China’s higher education to adapt to the new market demand and international standards since the reform and opening up. Over the past 20 years, it has cultivated a number of compound talents for the cause of China’s reform and opening up. However, the backwardness of business English theoretical research has greatly restricted the development of business English. At present, Business English has been officially approved as a new major for undergraduate enrollment by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China. Its subject nature, specialty structure, training objectives, and specialty compound characteristics need to be qualitatively studied theoretically. The business English teaching quality evaluation is viewed as the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) issue. In this paper, we connect the geometric Heronian mean (GHM) operator and power geometric (PG) with 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic numbers (2TLNNs) to propose the generalized 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic power geometric HM (G2TLNPGHM) operator. Then, the G2TLNGHM operator is applied to deal with the MADM problems under 2TLNNs. Finally, an example for business English teaching quality evaluation is used to show the proposed methods. Some comparative analysis and parameter influence analysis are fully given. The results show that the built algorithms method is useful for business English teaching quality evaluation.

Abstract
How to make good use of new network technology and design the classroom teaching of a course needs to be based on the teaching object, teaching content, and the teacher’s mastery of the technology and teaching platform. In teaching design, scholars also put forward different teaching links based on their own teaching experience. The cooperative learning links should be designed in college teaching. To build a positive and interdependent organizational structure and an equal and democratic learning atmosphere will help students to stimulate their learning motivation and sense of responsibility. The fuzzy evaluation of the teaching effect of the “micro-ideological and political” model in medical colleges and universities is viewed as the multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) issue. In such paper, Taxonomy method is designed for solving the MAGDM under interval-valued neutrosophic sets (IVNSs). First, the score function of IVNSs and Criteria Importance Though Intercrieria Correlation (CRITIC) method is used to derive the attribute weights. Second, then, the interval-valued neutrosophic numbers Taxonomy (IVNN-Taxonomy) method is built to deal with MAGDM problem. Finally, a numerical example for teaching effect evaluation of the “micro-ideological and political” model in medical colleges and universities is given to illustrate the built method.

Abstract
Location selection of electric vehicle charging stations (LSEVCS) is a complex multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) problem involving multiple experts and multiple conflicting attributes. Spherical fuzzy sets (SFSs) can deeply excavate fuzziness and uncertainty in MAGDM. In this paper, we first propose some new spherical fuzzy distance measures based on Dice and Jaccard indexes to detect the differences between SFSs or inputs. Secondly, considering risk preferences of decision makers, we integrate cumulative prospect theory (CPT) and combined compromise solutions (CoCoSo) method to develop a spherical fuzzy CoCoSo based on CPT (SF-CPT–CoCoSo) model for settling MAGDM issues. At the same time, we extend the improved CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) method, called the distance correlation-based CRITIC (D-CRITIC) method, to reasonably obtain unknown attribute weights under SFSs. Finally, this paper applies the developed model for LSEVCS to verify its practicability. Moreover, sensitivity analysis and comparative discussion with existing methods further demonstrate the robustness and effectiveness of the SF-CPT–CoCoSo model.

Abstract
In the past, different useful extensions of fuzzy sets were established by the researchers to manage the vagueness and uncertainty in various practical problems. Usually, the real numbers are utilized to express the decision information, but it is noted that the description of attributes using picture fuzzy sets (PFSs) proves to be more appropriate. As a powerful decision tool, PFSs provides more decision information that requires the application of some specific situations more types of response of human ideas: yes, contain, no, reject. QUALIFLEX (qualitative flexible multiple criteria method), is one of the well-known outranking methods to solve the multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems with crisp numbers. The QUALIFLEX method can perfectly address the complex MAGDM problems where a lot of attributes are utilized to assess a limited number of alternatives. The electronic music acoustic quality evaluation is a classical MAGDM. This paper proposes and utilizes the QUALIFLEX to develop the picture fuzzy QUALIFLEX(PF-QUALIFLEX) method for MAGDM. The current study is mainly devoted to explore and extend the measurement of alternatives and ranking according to the QUALIFLEX under the background of PFSs. Furthermore, an example to evaluate the electronic music acoustic quality is handled through the proposed method to substantiate the extended approach.

Abstract
Despite the importance of multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problem in the field of optimal design, it is still a huge challenge to propose a solution due to its uncertainty and fuzziness. The spherical fuzzy sets (SFSs) can express vague and complicated information of MAGDM problem more widely. The Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS) method, as a highly practical decision-making method, has received extensive attention from researchers for solving MAGDM problem. In this paper, a spherical fuzzy EDAS (SF-EDAS) method is proposed to solve the MAGDM problem. Moreover, the entropy method is also introduced to determine objective weights, resulting in a more proper weight information. In addition, a practical example is settled by SF-EDAS method, which proves the excellent efficiency in applications of MAGDM problem. The SF-EDAS method provides an effective method for solving MAGDM problems under SFSs, and EDAS also provides a reference for further promotion of other decision-making environments.

Abstract
Health literacy is an important part of health education and health promotion in my country, and the health literacy level of students majoring in physical education in colleges and universities is an important factor in the development of health education in primary and secondary schools, and also directly affects the implementation of school health education in the future. The physical health literacy evaluation of College students is frequently viewed as the multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) issue. In such paper, Taxonmy method is designed for solving the MAGDM under probabilistic double hierarchy linguistic term sets (PDHLTSs). First, the expected function of PDHLTSs and Criteria Importance Though Intercrieria Correlation (CRITIC) method is used to derive the attribute weights. Second, then, the optimal choice is obtained through calculating the smallest probabilistic double hierarchy linguistic development attribute values from the probabilistic double hierarchy linguistic positive ideal solution (PDHLPIS). Finally, a numerical example for physical health literacy evaluation of College students is given to illustrate the built method.

Abstract
In this paper, considering the traditional geometric operation laws and Pythagorean fuzzy information, a varies of new distance measures of Pythagorean fuzzy set are proposed, such as generalized Pythagorean fuzzy ordered geometric distance (GPFOWGD) measures and generalized Pythagorean fuzzy hybrid weighted geometric distance (GPFHWGD) measures. Besides, some special issues including Hamming distance, Euclidean distance and Hausdorff distance of these raised geometric distance measures are investigated. To testify the valid of these new presented distance measures, a decision-making model is built and illustrated by a mathematical calculation example to evaluate the service quality of sports clubs using Pythagorean fuzzy information. The results display that the approach is uncomplicated, valid and simple to compute. The example illustrates that the method presented in the paper can be used to deal with problems of uncertainty such as dynamic multiple attribute decision making.

Abstract
In multiple attribute decision making (MADM) issues, the ambiguity, imprecision, and imperfection of assessment information may lead to inadequate decision-making results. However, the Z-number suggested by Zadeh in 2011 could somehow prevent this problem. For MADM issues with unknown attributes weights, an extended Distance from the Average Solution (EDAS) method is proposed under a mixture Z-number environment. In addition, the Criteria Importance Through Inter-criteria Correlation (CRITIC) method is used to estimate the weights of the criterion, which is easy to calculate and avoids subjective forecasts. A novel illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the feasibility, validity, and practicability of the presented method, and is compared with existing decision methods. The outcome indicates that the suggested method can solve complicated decision-making problems.

Abstract
The results of the nation-wide public college English tests and some other English tests held by the college itself are very valuable data for the assessment of the English teaching level. In the light of the selected and processed data and some other auxiliary approaches, the writer suggests that a modernized monitoring system be established to improve English teaching quality. Under this system, teachers’ and students’ English level can be evaluated in an objective way. Consequently, the subsequent measures such as teachers’ promotion as well as students’ development and employment and the evaluation of the quality of test-papers can be taken scientifically. We can solve the above issues with help of multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) method. Depending on the VIKOR steps and given intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs), this paper devises the IF-VIKOR to assess the teaching quality of college English. In addition, the weights of attribute are derived through CRITIC method. Then, the VIKOR method is extended to IFSs to derive the order of each alternative. Therefore, all alternatives could be ranked and the best one can be identified. Eventually, we give an example of college English teaching quality evaluation, according to some comparison with other methods to make an analysis, the results show that the method proposed in such paper is effective and easy to compute.

Abstract
In the garment manufacturing industry, purchasing management is an important link. The materials of making clothes often need high cost. In addition, customers put forward a request in the quality of clothes. Thus, choosing an optimal supplier is an essential part of job. Reaching cooperation with an optimal supplier not only can help garment manufacturer improve the quality of clothes but also is benefit to reduce the cost of producing. Most importantly, it can improve the competitiveness of manufacture enterprises. So, it is important for managers to find an optimal supplier and make a cooperation with it. In this paper, we analysis an issue about choosing an optimal supplier during four different suppliers. With analyzing this problem, we can introduce an extended method under picture fuzzy environment to evaluate and choose an optimal supplier. In this article, we describe some basic knowledges about picture fuzzy sets (PFSs) and picture fuzzy numbers (PFNs). Then, we introduce the extension of MABAC method which is on the basis of prospect theory (PT) with picture fuzzy numbers (PF-PT-MABAC) and utilize the PF-PT-MABAC model to evaluate different suppliers to choose an optimal supplier. Finally, we compare the result of PF-PT-MABAC with the result of traditional MABAC, PFWG operators and traditional TODIM method to test the efficiency of PF-PT-MABAC model.
