Investing in healthcare infrastructure, services, and education is essential for fostering a healthy, thriving population. Healthcare waste management is a critical aspect of public health, and it requires a concerted effort from healthcare facilities, governments, and communities to ensure that waste is managed in a way that minimizes risks to human health and the environment. This paper proposes a hybrid methodology combining the Opinion Weight Criteria Method (OWCM) and the Combinative Distance-Based Assessment (CODAS) within the framework of Triangular Neutrosophic Sets (TNS) to evaluate and select the optimal healthcare waste treatment devices. The proposed methodology balances various conflicting criteria and incorporates uncertainty in expert assessments to ensure a robust decision-making process. The paper also provides a comprehensive review of healthcare waste management devices and highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to healthcare waste management. The proposed methodology is applied to a case study involving evaluating healthcare waste treatment devices based on different factors such as economic, environmental, technological, and social aspects. The results show that the OWCM-CODAS methodology, integrated with TNS, effectively evaluates and ranks healthcare waste treatment devices based on multiple criteria. The sensitivity analysis demonstrates the robustness of the proposed model, and the results indicate that the model's performance and the relative ranking of the alternatives are not sensitive to changes in the threshold parameter τ within the tested range.","PeriodicalId":169974,"journal":{"name":"Neutrosophic Systems with Applications","volume":"24 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141685472","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}

Prioritizing and identifying the risk factors impacting the sustainability of the food supply chain is essential for managing uncertainty and averting unfavorable consequences. This study attempts to identify and rank the most significant risks affecting the sustainability of the food supply chain under an uncertain environment. We use the α-Discounting multi-criteria decision-making (α-D MCDM) method for the main three risk factors: the risks of supply, the risks of demand, and the risks of operations. The primary causes of the challenges in assessing the food supply chain's risk elements include inaccurate assessment data, DMs' subjective preferences, and DMs' differing opinions and thoughts about the criteria. Unfortunately, earlier research fell short of fully resolving these issues. A hybrid three-phase neutrosophic MCDM method is proposed by integrating triangular neutrosophic numbers (TNNs), TNN-AHP, and TNN-CoCoSo to close this gap. In this manner, it may efficiently handle ambiguity. The application of the suggested framework is then explored using the top six food and beverage businesses in the world: Nestle (A1), PepsiCo (A2), Coca-Cola (A3), Danon (A4), Anheuser-Busch InBev SA (A5), and Mondelez International (A6). The results show the sustainability rankings from best to worst, which were established on the groups of decision-makers assessments based on the importance of the risk factors that have to be handled. To gain additional insight into the rationale and resilience of this framework, sensitivity evaluation and comparative analysis have been employed in this study.","PeriodicalId":169974,"journal":{"name":"Neutrosophic Systems with Applications","volume":"3 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141701002","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}

Digital Twin (DT) technology creates precise digital replicas of physical assets, systems, or processes. These digital twins play a crucial role in advancing the goals of smart city sustainability. This paper explores the development and application of DT technology for integrated regional energy systems in smart cities, emphasizing its potential to optimize energy consumption, reduce costs, and enhance overall system performance. The CloudIEPS platform, an energy internet planning platform based on digital twin technology, is a great example of how digital twin technology can be applied in practice, helping optimize energy efficiency and reduce costs. Integrating digital twin technology with the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods offers a novel approach to managing and optimizing energy systems in smart cities. The paper aims to create a consistent and robust approach to determining the best digital twin solution for energy systems in smart cities. The paper identifies critical factors for decision-making and establishes a method for assessing the significance of criteria using Triangular Neutrosophic Sets (TNS) through the MEthod based on Removal Effects of Criteria (MEREC) and the Multi-Attributive Ideal Real Comparative Analysis (MAIRCA) approach. These methods are used to evaluate and prioritize multiple criteria in decision-making processes. Furthermore, the methods are combined with Triangular Neutrosophic Sets (TNS) to support decision-making for smart cities' energy systems, better accounting for the complex and uncertain nature of energy systems. A case study is conducted to apply and validate the developed methodology and perform a sensitivity analysis of the experimental results. The research outcomes indicated that the proposed methodology is robust and effective in handling the uncertainty and complexity inherent in smart cities' energy systems. The sensitivity analysis further confirms the stability and adaptability of the proposed methodology across different scenarios, making it a valuable tool for policymakers and stakeholders in the energy sector.

These fires cause severe economic damage and pose a significant threat to human lives. Therefore, it is essential to search for solutions that can help combat fires and detect them early. Once a fire reaches a certain level, it becomes challenging to control it. Various systems have been proposed to collect data and detect forest fires, such as satellites and other traditional methods. However, these solutions have been ineffective in terms of cost, coverage of large areas, accuracy, and the safety of human lives. To address these limitations, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or drones have been used for detecting, combatting, and early warning of forest fires. UAVs are one of the modern technologies that have achieved great progress in monitoring natural disasters and have been widely used in monitoring, detecting, and predicting fires. They can fly without a human pilot on board, which makes them ideal for preserving human life. In addition, they are equipped with firefighting tools and various tools for remote sensing. This is to take high-quality photos or videos of the area to be detected. Different types of UAVs are used to fight fires, and here decision-makers face a problem in choosing between these types. Therefore, this research proposes a new MCDM model integrated with neutrosophic sets for selecting the optimal UAV to combat forest fires; therefore it helps in effectively detecting and fighting the fire. The proposed model integrates a Method based on Removal Effects of Criteria (MEREC) and Root Assessment Method (RAM) with the context of neutrosophic sets that effectively deal with ambiguity for selecting the optimal UAV which use in the detection and combat forest fires.","PeriodicalId":169974,"journal":{"name":"Neutrosophic Systems with Applications","volume":"30 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141709986","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}

Cloud service providers (CSPs) have gained popularity in recent years due to their accessibility and availability, as well as the growing quantity of cloud service providers (CSPs) that appear. Choosing (CSPs) has grown to be a challenging decision for many companies. The paper aims to rank a set of cloud service providers based on the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method.

The consequences of military interventions are explored, ranging from loss of life and infrastructure destruction to population displacement, political instability, and humanitarian crises. Legality and proportionality in interventions are essential to ensuring their legitimacy, and the potential consequences must be carefully assessed before undertaking an intervention. Adherence to the international legal framework is crucial to prevent military interventions from being deemed violations of international law.
