The world surrounded by plastics generates a lot of uncertainty and the first victims are sea animals, plastic in contact with the sun is able to disintegrate and generate toxins that are harmful to health. It is for this reason that this research in bibliographic review allows us to know the different solutions to counteract microplastics through the analysis of the Scopus database and the VOSviewer tool that allows us to analyze the data, considering the essential characteristics that are plants, animals, bacteria, algae and technologies that allow the disintegration, elimination and purification of microplastics, graphs and tables were obtained which allow us to recognize the analyzed data, the countries that carry out these investigations and the bibliometric maps worldwide. The results allow us to understand that the existence of microplastics generates many negative consequences for planet earth, however, there are different solutions which we can use and apply to counteract these microplastics, also considering that countries like Peru do not find published scientific research relevant to this matter. The purpose of this research is to allow us to make better decisions and not lose heart in the face of microplastics since it can be fought with the different solutions that we find on planet earth, technology and the other objective is to motivate readers to take action in the issue and allow generating change in the use of plastics.
被塑料包围的世界产生了很多不确定性,第一个受害者是海洋动物,塑料与阳光接触能够分解并产生有害健康的毒素。正是因为这个原因,这项研究在书目回顾让我们知道不同的解决方案,以抵消微塑料通过分析Scopus数据库和VOSviewer工具,允许我们分析数据,考虑到植物,动物,细菌,藻类的基本特征和技术,允许微塑料的分解,消除和净化,获得图表和表格,使我们能够识别分析的数据。开展这些调查的国家和世界范围内的文献计量图。研究结果让我们明白,微塑料的存在对地球产生了许多负面影响,然而,我们可以使用不同的解决方案来抵消这些微塑料,同时考虑到秘鲁等国家没有发现与此事相关的已发表的科学研究。这项研究的目的是让我们做出更好的决定,而不是在面对微塑料时失去信心,因为它可以用我们在地球上找到的不同解决方案来对抗,技术和另一个目标是激励读者在这个问题上采取行动,并允许改变塑料的使用。

It is admissible that fuzzy numbers (FNs) are apt for representing imprecise or vague data in real-world problems. While using FNs in decision-making problems, selecting the best alternative among available alternatives is challenging, and therefore, ranking FNs is essential. We can find different studies in the literature, but to our knowledge, no one attempted to rank FNs using the concept of volume. This paper proposes a new method for ranking generalized fuzzy numbers (GFNs) using the volume of the solid obtained by revolving its membership function (MF) about the x-axis. We calculate the volumes of positive and negative sides along with the centroid of a generalized fuzzy number(GFN) to define the fuzzy number(FN) score. This score represents the defuzzified value of FN, is used to select the best alternative, and overcomes the limitations in some existing methods like ranking FNs having the same centroid, crisp numbers, symmetric fuzzy numbers, and FNs with the same core.
在现实问题中,模糊数(FNs)适合表示不精确或模糊的数据,这是可以接受的。当在决策问题中使用FNs时,从可用的选项中选择最佳选项是具有挑战性的,因此,对FNs进行排序是必不可少的。我们可以在文献中找到不同的研究,但据我们所知,没有人试图使用体积的概念对FNs进行排名。本文提出了一种利用实体的体积对广义模糊数(gfn)进行排序的新方法,该方法由实体的隶属函数(MF)绕x轴旋转得到。我们计算了一个广义模糊数(GFN)的正负边的体积和质心来定义模糊数(FN)分数。该分数代表FN的去模糊化值,用于选择最佳备选方案,克服了现有方法对相同质心的FN、清晰数、对称模糊数、相同核心的FN进行排序的局限性。

The website of higher educational institutes is considered a vital communication channel to provide main resources to their stakeholders. It plays an important role in disseminating information about an institute to a variety of visitors at a time. Thus, the quality of an academic website requires special attention to respond to the users’ demands. This study aims to explore the quality of the PSAU website based on data mining techniques. The first step: was collecting opinions about the PSAU website using a survey. After that, data mining processes were used as descriptive and predictive models. The descriptive model was applied to describe and extract the major indicators of website quality. Besides, the predictive model was applied to create models for predicting the website quality level. More than one classification algorithm was used. Naive Bayes and Support Vector Machine have given the best results in all performance indicators, and the achieved accuracy rate for both algorithms was 86% and 84% respectively. The results revealed that the overall quality level of the PSAU website is very good. The usability quality and content quality were very good. The service quality needs more attention. which indicated that the service level is inadequate and needs to be further enhanced. The results of the study should be useful to the deanship of Information Technology at PSAU, and website developers, in redesigning with high quality in terms of its usability, content, and service.
高校网站是高校沟通的重要渠道,为高校利益相关者提供重要的信息资源。它在一次向各种访问者传播有关研究所的信息方面发挥着重要作用。因此,学术网站的质量需要特别注意回应用户的需求。本研究旨在探讨基于数据挖掘技术的PSAU网站质量。第一步:通过调查收集人们对PSAU网站的意见。之后,数据挖掘过程被用作描述和预测模型。运用描述模型对网站质量的主要指标进行描述和提取。并应用该预测模型建立了网站质量水平的预测模型。使用了不止一种分类算法。朴素贝叶斯和支持向量机在所有性能指标上都给出了最好的结果,两种算法的准确率分别为86%和84%。结果表明,PSAU网站整体质量水平良好。可用性质量和内容质量都非常好。服务质量需要更多的关注。这表明服务水平不足,需要进一步提高。研究结果对PSAU资讯科技系主任及网站开发人员,在可用性、内容及服务方面,提供高质素的重新设计。

The performance of the manufacturing industry lies in the managers who hold crucial roles. In the revolution industry, data or knowledge holds an important role besides managers’ commitment to work optimally. As intrinsic factors, psychological capital is fundamental for managers’ behavior such as commitment and initiative to share knowledge that simultaneously enables managers’ performance. This research aimed to find the psychology capital’s effect on managers’ performance in manufacturing companies by taking into account sharing knowledge and organization commitment as moderation. Hypothesis testing was done by using data measured with a Likert Scale from 208 managers of a manufacturing company as a representative from each company stationed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The results of empirical testing using SEM Lisrel shows that psychological capital affects performance moderated by a variable such as managers’ commitment and knowledge sharing. Based on affected value, the initiative to share knowledge gives greater value to the correlation between psychological capital and managers’ performance in manufacturing companies; compared to commitment. Manufacturing practitioners should be able to facilitate a conducive climate to encourage their managers to share knowledge voluntarily so that the decision-making process and performance are better.
制造业的绩效取决于扮演关键角色的管理者。在革命行业中,除了管理者对最佳工作的承诺外,数据或知识也扮演着重要的角色。作为内在因素,心理资本是管理者承诺和主动分享知识等行为的基础,这些行为同时也促进了管理者的绩效。本研究以知识共享和组织承诺为调节因素,探讨心理资本对制造型企业管理者绩效的影响。假设检验采用李克特量表对某制造企业的208名管理人员作为驻印尼证券交易所各公司的代表进行数据测量。运用SEM Lisrel进行实证检验的结果表明,心理资本对绩效的影响受到管理者承诺和知识共享等变量的调节。在影响价值的基础上,知识分享的主动性对制造型企业心理资本与管理者绩效之间的关系具有更大的价值;与承诺相比。制造业从业者应该能够促进一个有利的氛围,鼓励他们的管理者自愿分享知识,以便更好地决策过程和绩效。

Many-objective optimization (MaO) deals with a large number of conflicting objectives in optimization problems to acquire a reliable set of appropriate non-dominated solutions near the true Pareto front, and for the same, a unique mechanism is essential. Numerous papers have reported multi-objective evolutionary algorithms to explain the absence of convergence and diversity variety in many-objective optimization problems. One of the most encouraging methodologies utilizes many reference points to segregate the solutions and guide the search procedure. The above-said methodology is integrated into the basic version of the Moth Flame Optimization (MFO) algorithm for the first time in this paper. The proposed Many-Objective Moth Flame Optimization (MaOMFO) utilizes a set of reference points progressively decided by the hunt procedure of the moth flame. It permits the calculation to combine with the Pareto front yet synchronize the decent variety of the Pareto front. MaOMFO is employed to solve a wide range of unconstrained and constrained benchmark functions and compared with other competitive algorithms, such as non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm, multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on dominance and decomposition, and novel multi-objective particle swarm optimization using different performance metrics. The results demonstrate the superiority of the algorithm as a new many-objective algorithm for complex many-objective optimization problems.
许多论文报道了多目标进化算法来解释多目标优化问题中缺乏收敛性和多样性变化。最令人鼓舞的方法之一是利用许多参考点来分离解决方案并指导搜索过程。本文首次将上述方法整合到蛾焰优化(MFO)算法的基本版本中。提出的多目标飞蛾火焰优化算法利用飞蛾火焰搜索过程逐步确定的一组参考点。它允许计算与帕累托前沿结合,但同步的帕累托前沿的体面变化。MaOMFO用于求解各种无约束和有约束基准函数,并与非支配排序遗传算法、基于支配和分解的多目标进化算法以及采用不同性能指标的新型多目标粒子群优化等竞争性算法进行了比较。结果表明,该算法作为一种新的多目标算法,对于复杂的多目标优化问题具有优越性。

Quality standards must be fulfilled to satisfy a base level of quality. Despite using this idea as a foundation, evaluations of academic programs still rely on the evaluators' experiences and may differ from one evaluator to the next. As a result, more precise evaluation approaches must be created to ensure quality is accurately reflected. The main goal of this research paper is to propose and evaluate an approach to assessing higher educational programs using the Self-Evaluation Scale (SES) developed by the Saudi National Commission for Academic Accreditation and Evaluation (NCAAA). The proposed approach is a breakdown of the original performance criteria and standards into sub-criteria and elements to ensure the required data quality. The second goal is to compare the NCAAA's original performance criteria and the proposed evaluation sub-criteria. A comparison framework that uses the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is developed. Data from eight programs offered in a Middle Eastern University was used for the application and comparison between the two evaluation approaches. Results show that both approaches provide different quality performance rankings. The proposed approach demonstrated more conservative and accurate overall quality performance ratings, indicating that application decisions for accreditation are affected.
必须满足质量标准,以满足质量的基本水平。尽管使用这个想法作为基础,学术项目的评估仍然依赖于评估者的经验,并且可能因评估者而异。因此,必须创建更精确的评估方法,以确保准确反映质量。本研究论文的主要目标是提出并评估一种使用沙特国家学术认证与评估委员会(NCAAA)开发的自我评估量表(SES)来评估高等教育项目的方法。拟议的方法是将原来的业绩准则和标准分解为子准则和要素,以确保所需的数据质量。第二个目标是比较ncaa的原始绩效标准和提议的评估子标准。提出了一种利用理想解相似性排序偏好技术(TOPSIS)的比较框架。来自中东大学八个项目的数据被用于两种评估方法的应用和比较。结果表明,两种方法提供了不同的质量性能排名。建议的方法显示出更保守和准确的总体质量绩效评级,表明认证的申请决定受到影响。

Today, improving machine availability is vital for industries to compete in the global market. Spare parts play an essential role in the maintenance and repair of equipment, but planning an extensive network in strategic industries with various spare parts can be very challenging due to the existence of different decision factors. The spare parts supply chain deals with inventory management issues, which necessitates considering the related decisions such as determining the stock level and order quantity. Moreover, demand uncertainty and long supply time make decision-making more complex. This paper presents a repair and supply planning model for repairable spare parts while considering a modified formulation of demand uncertainty to minimize costs. The model determines the optimal stock level, lateral transshipment, assignment of spare part orders to suppliers, equipment to repair centers, and the number of intervals over the planning horizon used in demand estimation. This research contributes to the literature by integrating recent decisions, using demand approximation by piecewise linearization, and considering backorder in warehouses evaluated by queuing models. A hybrid approach, including heuristic and genetic algorithms, is used to optimize the model using data from an oil company. The results show that using piecewise linearization and integrated repair and supply planning decisions optimizes costs and improves performance. Also, the availability is affected by the demand estimation, which necessitates precision prediction.
今天,提高机器的可用性对于工业在全球市场上的竞争至关重要。备件在设备的维护和维修中起着至关重要的作用,但由于存在不同的决策因素,在具有各种备件的战略行业中规划一个广泛的网络是非常具有挑战性的。备件供应链涉及库存管理问题,需要考虑确定库存水平和订单数量等相关决策。此外,需求的不确定性和较长的供给时间使得决策更加复杂。在考虑需求不确定性的前提下,建立了可修备件的维修与供应规划模型。该模型确定了最优库存水平、横向转运、备件订单分配给供应商、设备分配给维修中心,以及用于需求估计的计划范围内的间隔数。本研究通过整合最近的决策,使用分段线性化的需求近似,以及考虑排队模型评估的仓库缺货,为文献做出了贡献。利用某石油公司的数据,采用启发式和遗传算法等混合方法对模型进行优化。结果表明,采用分段线性化和综合维修供应计划决策可以优化成本,提高性能。此外,可用性受到需求估计的影响,这就需要精确的预测。

Spare parts play an essential role in the maintenance and repair of equipment, but planning an extensive network in strategic industries with various spare parts can be very challenging due to the existence of different decision factors. The spare parts supply chain deals with inventory management issues, which necessitates considering the related decisions such as determining the stock level and order quantity. Moreover, demand uncertainty and long supply time make decision-making more complex. This paper presents a repair and supply planning model for repairable spare parts while considering a modified formulation of demand uncertainty to minimize costs. The model determines the optimal stock level, lateral transshipment, assignment of spare part orders to suppliers, equipment to repair centers, and the number of intervals over the planning horizon used in demand estimation. This research contributes to the literature by integrating recent decisions, using demand approximation by piecewise linearization, and considering backorder in warehouses evaluated by queuing models. A hybrid approach, including heuristic and genetic algorithms, is used to optimize the model using data from an oil company. The results show that using piecewise linearization and integrated repair and supply planning decisions optimizes costs and improves performance. Also, the availability is affected by the demand estimation, which necessitates precision prediction.","PeriodicalId":38141,"journal":{"name":"Decision Science Letters","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90939975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of public debt sustainability on economic growth in the period 2000-2021 and establish a new optimal debt level that does not affect Peru's economic growth. The general method used to determine this effect was the hypothetical deductive method with a non-experimental and longitudinal trend design, because the data to be analyzed are variations that have occurred over time; the VAR (vector autoregressive) model was used as a specific method, because the evidence was insufficient to consider the simultaneity between the reactions of the variables to propose an SVAR model. Data were collected from economic portals such as the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), as well as the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP). The estimated sample size was 88 observations representing all quarters from 2000 to 2021. As a result of the econometric regression, the impact of the level of public debt on economic growth is positive, since a one-unit increase in the percentage of public debt will increase the variation of GDP by almost 1.1%. Regarding the debt level forecast and according to the projection made, it was determined that the new debt level that does not affect the sustainability of public finances or the long-term economic growth of the Peruvian economy should be 38% of GDP.
本研究的目的是评估2000-2021年期间公共债务可持续性对经济增长的影响,并建立一个不影响秘鲁经济增长的新的最佳债务水平。用于确定这种影响的一般方法是采用非实验和纵向趋势设计的假设演绎法,因为要分析的数据是随时间发生的变化;由于证据不足,无法考虑变量反应之间的同时性来提出SVAR模型,因此我们采用VAR (vector autoregressive)模型作为具体方法。数据是从经济和财政部(MEF)以及秘鲁中央储备银行(BCRP)等经济门户网站收集的。估计样本量为88个观测点,代表2000年至2021年的所有季度。计量经济回归的结果是,公共债务水平对经济增长的影响是积极的,因为公共债务百分比每增加一个单位,GDP的变化就会增加近1.1%。关于债务水平预测,根据所作的预测,确定不影响公共财政可持续性或秘鲁经济长期经济增长的新债务水平应为国内生产总值的38%。

This study aims to determine an accurate forecasting model, especially an error rate of around 0, and to examine how the automatic rejection system reacts to stock price as a result of the pandemic. The statistical clustering method is used for the dataset in form of daily observations, while the sample covers the period of cases before and after COVID-19 pandemic from 02 January 2019 to 20 June 2020 at the Trinitan Minerals and Metal Company. Furthermore, the data used in the estimation are the opening and closing price of returns, which are later processed using SAS analysis tools. It is shown that the most appropriate decision-making processes are those proven to be most effective. Therefore, predicting future events based on a suitable time series model will help policymakers and strategists make decisions and develop appropriate strategic plans regarding the stock market. Meanwhile, 98% of the ARIMA (1,1,1) is a forecasting model which can be applied to predict stock prices. The new approach of this study is an integrated autoregressive moving average used as an attempt to accurately predict stock prices during a pandemic.
本研究旨在确定一个准确的预测模型,特别是错误率在0左右,并研究自动拒绝系统对大流行导致的股票价格的反应。数据集采用统计聚类方法,以日常观测数据的形式进行,样本涵盖2019年1月2日至2020年6月20日在Trinitan Minerals and Metal Company发生的2019冠状病毒病大流行前后的病例。此外,估计中使用的数据是收益的开盘价和收盘价,随后使用SAS分析工具对其进行处理。研究表明,最适当的决策过程是那些被证明是最有效的决策过程。因此,基于合适的时间序列模型预测未来事件将有助于决策者和战略家对股票市场做出决策并制定适当的战略计划。同时,98%的ARIMA(1,1,1)是一个预测模型,可以应用于预测股票价格。本研究的新方法是一种综合自回归移动平均线,用于在大流行期间准确预测股票价格。
