Ahhoz, hogy a képzés hatásos és produktív legyen a sok összetevőből az egyik alapfeltétel a szülői támogatás megléte. A fiatalkori versenysport rengeteg kihívást jelent egy család számára és több aspektusból vizsgálva is befolyásolja az életüket. Kutatásom során megvizsgáltam, hogy bizonyos demográfiai változók tekintetében az utánpótlássport miként hat a szülőkre, milyen változásokat generál a családi életükben és arra is figyelmet fordítottam, hogy a családban milyen elvárások fogalmazódnak meg a sporttal szemben. A vizsgálat alapját egy online kérdőíves felmérésem adja, melyet több mint 700-an töltöttek ki a szülők közül országosan a labdarúgó utánpótlás nevelő egyesületek teljes vertikumában. Kutatásomból kiderült, hogy a korábbi témához köthető szakirodalmaknak megfelelően az általam vizsgált szülők életére is jelentős hatással van a gyermekük sportolása és különböző elvárásokat fogalmaznak meg azzal kapcsolatban, melyeket különböző szociális és demográfiai tényezők is befolyásolnak.","PeriodicalId":44185,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematical Engineering and Management Sciences","volume":"2015 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135199397","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 paper presents a novel heuristic algorithm named the Dahiya-Garg Heuristic Algorithm (DG-Alg) to find the optimal solution for constrained reliability redundancy allocation optimization problems. The cornerstone of the novel DG-Alg is its novel selection factor, which is a mathematical formula that helps the heuristic algorithm search for optimal subsystems for reliability optimization. A novel formulated selection factor in DG-Alg has increased its effectiveness and efficiency. To analyze the performance of the proposed heuristic algorithm and the other three existing heuristic algorithms, they are applied to a problem taken from a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant named Yaris Pharmaceuticals. During the application of the heuristic algorithms, it was ensured that redundancy allocation was done within stipulated cost constraints. Further, a comparative analysis of the obtained results has been done to judge the performance of the proposed heuristic algorithm. It is deduced that the proposed heuristic algorithm gives optimized and computationally efficient results in comparison to the other existing heuristic algorithms.","PeriodicalId":44185,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematical Engineering and Management Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43387077","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}

To address the problems of unknown degradation state of components, difficulty in obtaining relevant environmental data and small sample size in the field of reliability prediction, a reliability evaluation and prediction method based on Cox model and 1D CNN-BiLSTM model is proposed in this paper. Taking the historical fault data of six components of a typical load-haul-dump (LHD) machine as an example, a reliability evaluation method based on Cox model with small sample size is applied by comparing the reliability evaluation models such as logistic regression (LR) model, support vector machine (SVM) model and back propagation neural network (BPNN) model in a comprehensive manner. On this basis, a reliability prediction method based on one-dimensional convolutional neural network-bi-directional long and short-term memory network (1D CNN-BiLSTM) is applied with the objective of minimizing the prediction error. The applicability as well as the effectiveness of the proposed model is verified by comparing typical time series prediction models such as the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model and multiple linear regression (MLR). The experimental results show that the proposed model is valuable for the development of reliability plans and for the implementation of reliability maintenance activities.","PeriodicalId":44185,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematical Engineering and Management Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46959633","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 system has the primary function of generating oxygen onboard, and it has a backup gaseous oxygen tank as redundancy. An emergency oxygen bottle is also part of the ejection seat for emergency use. Both backup oxygen and emergency oxygen have a fixed capacity and a fixed duration of oxygen supply. Therefore, it is crucial to assess the reliability of the LSS to ensure its safety and effectiveness of this LSS during a mission by the combat aircraft. The proposed reliability model of LSS is developed as a two-level hierarchical model, that captures the inherent randomness in the operation of the system. At the lowest level of the hierarchy, Markov chains are used to model the events that may lead to the failure of the LSS. The events include the failure of individual components, the depletion of backup oxygen, and the depletion of emergency oxygen. The Markov chains consider the interactions between individual components and events during the mission profile. At the top level of the hierarchy, a fault tree is used to model the interactions between various events during the mission profile. The fault tree considers the interactions between individual events and the effects of redundancy on the reliability of the LSS. The results of the Markov chains at the lower level are exported to the higher level modelled via fault tree to find the overall system reliability. The reliability model is further extended to incorporate the deterministic nature of the LSS due to the fixed capacity of the backup tank and emergency bottle. The work addresses the modelling of six different scenarios of LSS operations. The modelling of these scenarios is achieved using Semi-Markov Processes (SMP), which allow the state holding time to be a general distribution.","PeriodicalId":44185,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematical Engineering and Management Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45191285","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}

In this paper, we set up an axiomatic framework for obtaining a complementary dual of the picture fuzzy entropy. Subsequently, we derive two new knowledge measures that strictly follow the axiomatic requirements. Some empirical investigations establish the advantages of our proposed knowledge measure over the existing measures.

The supplier knows the realized demand only from a sales report submitted by the retailer at the end of each decision period. Possession of private information about the market demand allows the retailer to under-report sales. To protect revenue loss from this under-reporting, the supplier uses audit probabilistically to check the retailer’s dishonesty. Unlike designing a mechanism for the supplier to elicit private information from the retailer, which has been predominantly discussed in the literature, this study proposes a policy where the players can improve their expected profit compared to what they would have earned when the retailer had to reveal truthful information. Our study finds that the supplier benefits from the retailer’s dishonesty, provided dishonesty is limited with the help of a probabilistic audit process. Both players' expected profits are higher in our proposed policy than what they would earn under a truth-inducing policy. These findings suggest that future studies focus on achieving social welfare instead of concentrating only on truth-inducing mechanisms. A numerical analysis of the optimization problem is performed to find the optimal audit probability. Our results will help a manager in a supplying firm design a revenue-sharing contract when she cannot observe her retailer’s revenue without an audit.","PeriodicalId":44185,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematical Engineering and Management Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69510717","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}

However, simply earning a profit does not necessarily mean that the firm is productive. Many highly productive firms face financial losses, whereas less productive ones’ experience significant profits. This paper examines the dynamics of how productivity really matters for profitability. The paper uses a non-parametric index number approach to estimate the productivity, profitability, and price performance of a publicly owned, once world’s largest, bus transport corporation operating in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh to examine these dynamics. The paper finds that when public organizations are constrained from raising the prices of their services, productivity gains may not be adequate to counterbalance the impact of rising prices of major inputs. Moreover, loss-making organizations, even if they are publicly owned, would find it hard to improve both the quality and quantity of their services.","PeriodicalId":44185,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mathematical Engineering and Management Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41404488","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}
