Project management body of knowledge (PMBOK) Uncertainty Mixed qualitative and quantitative risk assessment approach Mathematics Probability theory Engineering Industrial engineering BusinessThis study presented a qualitative and quantitative project risk assessment using a hybrid PMBOK model developed under uncertainty conditions. Accordingly, an exploratory and applied research design was employed in this study. The research sample included 15 experienced staff working in main and related positions in Neyr Perse Company. After reviewing the literature and the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), 32 risk factors were identified and their number reduced to 17 risks using the expert opinions via the fuzzy Delphi technique run through three stages. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that all risks were confirmed by the members of the research sample. Then the identified risks were structured and ranked using fuzzy DEMATEL and fuzzy ANP techniques. The final results of the study showed that the political and economic sanctions had the highest weight followed by foreign investors' attraction and the lack of regional infrastructure. (B. Barghi).The oil and gas industry is the most important industry in terms of financial turnover and employment. Given the degree of development in the industry which depends on oil and its derivatives, new projects are initiated every day. Therefore, the number of projects in the oil and gas sector is very high. Considering the financial tunover of oil projects, the management of these projects is very important [4]. On the other hand, these projects are also at high risk which can be attributed to the high risky nature of gas and oil and the flammability and hazardous nature of their derivatives, which are often the cause of accidents in exploration and exploitation projects. For this reason, reducing the risks associated with oil projects, especially in exploration and exploitation projects, is very important [5]. Gas and oil projects are associated with a variety of risks in the present era. Therefore, the management of project risks is critical to the survival of these projects. Risk management is one of the phases of project management and project risk ranking is a key part of the risk assessment phase in the process of project risk management. Also, according to experts and practitioners of oil industry projects, the probable impact of risks affect project objectives such as cost, time, scope and quality of the project [3]. The PMBOK standard identifies risk management at various steps and provides control programs to reduce the severity of risks. These steps are stated as follows:https://doi.

Sepsis is an inflammation caused by the body's systemic response to an infection. The infection could be a result of many diseases, such as pneumonia, urinary tract infection, and other illnesses. Some of its symptoms are fever, tachycardia, tachypnea, etc. Unfortunately, sepsis remains a critical problem at the hospitals and leads to many issues, such as increasing mortality rate, health care costs, and health care utilization. Early detection of sepsis in patients can help respond quickly, take preventive actions, and prevent major issues. The main aim of this study is to predict the risk of sepsis by utilizing the patient’s demographic and clinical information, i.e., patient’s gender, age, severity level, mortality risk, admit type along with hospital length of stay. Six machine learning approaches, Logistic Regression (LR), Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Boosted Tree, Classification and Regression Tree (CART), and Bootstrap Forest are used to predict the risk of sepsis. The results showed that different machine learning methods have other performances in terms of various measures. For instance, the Bootstrap Forest machine learning method exhibited the highest performance in AUC and R-square or SVM and Boosted Tree showed the highest performance in terms of misclassification rate. The Bootstrap Forest can be considered the best machine learning method in predicting sepsis regarding applied features in this research, mainly because it showed superior performance and efficiency in two performance measures: AUC and R-square.
