Purpose: The application of decision science combines qualitative and quantitative frameworks to offer valuable insights into decision-making processes, spanning beyond business, computer science, public health, environmental science, economics, and finance, to include the field of education. Under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and digital transformation, online training has become a trend in many universities worldwide. This study aims to develop a new integrated multi-criteria decision-making model to determine the priority levels of factors impacting the effectiveness of online professional skills training programs for lecturers at the Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU-Hanoi). Design/methodology/approach: A novel integrated approach has been developed, which combines the generalized fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with the fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). This approach effectively determines the priority levels of influencing factors by using the fuzzy TOPSIS method with generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers (TrFNs). The data for this study was collected through in-depth interviews with experts and managers at the VNU-Hanoi. Findings: The research findings indicate that learners and training program content are the most influential factors in the effectiveness of online training courses in enhancing lecturers' professional competence at the VNU-Hanoi. Drawing on principles from Decision Science, several recommendations have been proposed for the VNU-Hanoi and its member universities and schools: (i) allocate sufficient time and provide resource support to enable lecturers' participation in training courses; (ii) create comprehensive training content for lecturers, encompassing political ideology, ethics, professional knowledge, modern pedagogical skills, and life skills; (iii) strengthen the utilization of scientific, technological, and information technology skills, along with a digital transformation in management, teaching, and learning processes, to meet the broader development needs of society. The study results also demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed model in addressing practical issues. Originality/value: This study proposes a novel integrated generalized fuzzy AHP-TOPSIS approach to determine the priority levels of factors influencing the effectiveness of online training courses in enhancing lecturers' professional competence at the VNU-Hanoi. The study considers 21 sub-factors across five factors, including the policies of higher education institutions, training program content, learners, instructors, and technology for online training. This is new in the literature.

Purpose: The objective is to employ a stochastic model to develop a new technical analysis indicator that could compute the variation of any index. We demonstrate the superiority and applicability of our proposed model and show that our proposed indicator could help investors and market analysts to anticipate the market trend in the short term and make better trading decisions by using our proposed model to analyze the variation of the NASDAQ Composite Index (IXIC). Design/methodology/approach: This study uses a stochastic process without mean-reverting property to develop a stochastic model that could compute the variation of any index. To show the superiority and applicability of our proposed model in computing the variation of any index, we employ our proposed model to compute the daily closing values of the IXIC over 10 years and derive the variation of the IXIC index. Findings: Our findings indicate that, based on the mean absolute percentage error, the calibrated model we proposed provides a more accurate estimate of the short-term index that outperforms both the simple moving average and the MACD in predictive accuracy. It delivers a robust anticipation of the overall market trend by offering a 95% confidence interval for the value of the composite NASDAQ index. Practical Implications: Our proposed indicator could help investors and market analysts to anticipate the market trend in the short term and make better trading decisions. Our proposed model provides market analysts with a forecasting tool by using our proposed technical analysis indicator to anticipate the market trend, which outperforms some traditional indicators of technical analysis, including Simple Moving Averages and Moving Average Convergence Divergence. Originality/value: Our approach, results, and conclusions are original and new in the literature. Our proposed model is a new technical indicator for predicting any index based on a stochastic process, which has been found to outperform some classical indicators. This research makes significant contributions to the field of decision sciences because the indicator we have developed plays a crucial role. It enables better buying and selling decisions based on market trend predictions estimated by using our proposed model. In this way, the indicator offers added value to professionals in making investment decisions. The results of this research work contribute to the development of new technical analysis indicators. Here, the IXIC index is an example, the use of this indicator is wider and could concern any stock market index and any share. So, this work enriches the literature and opens up new avenues for any researcher who wants to use stochastic processes to develop new technical indicators for different financial assets.
