Enhancing the sector’s performance requires an effective implementation of the SCMP to address performance-related issues in a sustainable manner. For that, the best-worst method (BWM) determined the weights of four identified challenges to effective SCMP in the sector, and subsequently, the alternative ranking order method accounting for two-step normalization (AROMAN) evaluated four alternatives to overcome these challenges. To show the applicability of our approach, the national oil corporation in Kenya is considered as a case study. Results show that collaboration between supply chain actors for the provision of transport and distribution is the most appropriate alternative for an effective SCMP for the national oil corporation.","PeriodicalId":132082,"journal":{"name":"Decision Making Advances","volume":" 1174","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141363856","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 parameter p=-1.1 can be used to easily derive the information of the Hamacher and Lukasiewicz t-norms. Furthermore, prioritized aggregation operators (PAOs) choose which data will be collected into a singleton set. The main contribution of this work is the construction of new aggregation operators for T-spherical fuzzy (T-SF) information based on SS t-norm and t-conorm. Moreover, the fundamental characteristics of the operators are identified. Further, we developed MADM (Multi-Attribute Decision-Making) models and deduced several useful properties from the operators T-SFSSPA, T-SFSSWPA, T-SFSSPG, and T-SFSSWPG. Finally, using an actual case study, we were able to draw the conclusion that, in comparison to the ground-breaking and current methods to enhance the value and capability of the diagnosed operators, the proposed MADM algorithm performs noticeably better than the operators in place for resolving the water recycling problem in a way that is easy to understand.","PeriodicalId":132082,"journal":{"name":"Decision Making Advances","volume":"356 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139834490","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}

This importance is especially pronounced in the realm of deep learning. Deep learning techniques find extensive application in the field of medicine and disease classification. The early identification of bone fractures is crucial for efficient treatment planning and patient care. Our research proposes a transfer learning-based model for predicting bone fractures using a dataset of bone X-ray images. These images will be classified into two categories: normal and bone fracture, based on extracted features. Our proposed model, the Bone Fracture Detection Transfer Learning Algorithm (BFDTLA), achieved an average accuracy of 97% on the dataset. The BFDTLA model demonstrated superior performance when compared to previous quantitative and qualitative research studies. This research focuses on the early detection of bone fractures using transfer learning algorithms, emphasizing the significance of accurate and timely diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":132082,"journal":{"name":"Decision Making Advances","volume":"13 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139782305","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}

Biswas","doi":"10.31181/dma1120238","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31181/dma1120238","url":null,"abstract":"With proliferation of smartphone usage and rapidly increasing internet access, the financial sectors has been witnessing a transformational change in the last few years, leading to the digital economy. The cryptocurrencies (digital assets) and the metaverse assets that use blockchain technology extensively have emerged as an attractive investment option to the investors. The review of the extant literature shows a scantiness of research in comparing the performance of metaverse crypto assets based on market indicators. In this regard, the current work aims to provide a framework to compare the metaverse crypto assets based on their market performance. To this end, the present paper proposes a novel hybrid framework such as Logarithmic Percentage Change driven Compromise Solution based Appraisal (LOPCCSA). To compare the alternatives the variables like return, momentum of the daily closing price, market capitalization, trading volume and risk (in terms of historical volatility realized over the study period 2022). From the result we observe that the momentum of the closing prices and volatility of the price movements hold the higher importance as derived by calculation of objective weights. Theta Network (A10) comes out as the top performer ahead of ApeCoin (A1) or MANA (A3) or Internet Computer (A6). The comparison of the results obtained by LOPCCSA with other MCDM models show considerable consistency. The sensitivity analysis indicates that LOPCCSA provides a stable solution. The present paper is a distinct attempt that shall attract the decision makers and investors to carry out a deeper and comprehensive analysis of the metaverse crypto assets in near future.","PeriodicalId":132082,"journal":{"name":"Decision Making Advances","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121641987","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}
