This study aimed to analyze the systematic risks of wind energy investments. Within this framework, E7 countries are included in the scope of the examination. A large literature review was carried out and 12 different systematic risk factors that could exist in wind energy investments were identified. The analysis process of the study consisted of two different stages. First, the specified risk criteria were weighted with the help of the interval type 2 (IT2) fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method. Second, E7 countries were ranked according to the risk management effectiveness in wind energy investments. In this process, the IT2 fuzzy Vlsekriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) approach was taken into consideration. The findings show that volatility in exchange rates and interest rates were the most important risks in wind energy investments. In addition, it was determined that China and Indonesia were the most successful countries in managing risks in wind energy investments. In contrast, India, Russia, and Turkey were determined to be the least successful. Additionally, the IT2 fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method was applied as a robustness check of the extended VIKOR method. It was concluded that the ranking results of the IT2 fuzzy TOPSIS method were similar to the results of the IT2 fuzzy VIKOR. It can be understood that the proposed ranking method was consistent with the comparative analysis results. From this point of view, it was observed that countries should take measures regarding their exchange rate and interest rate risks in order to increase the efficiency in wind energy investments. In this context, companies should first ensure that they do not have a foreign exchange short position in their balance sheets by conducting an effective financial analysis. In addition, it is important to use financial derivatives to minimize the exchange rate and interest rate risks. Using these results, it will be possible to manage this risk by taking the reverse position for the existing foreign currency and interest risk. In this way, it will be possible to increase the efficiency of wind energy investments, which will contribute to the social and economic development of each respective country.Energies 2020, 13, 1423 2 of 25 their own energy resources can benefit from these resources [1]. This situation gives these countries a serious cost advantage. On the other hand, countries that do not have sufficient energy resources have to supply the energy they need from outside, which makes these countries dependent on energy. Because of this problem, countries are developing several strategies to produce their own energy [2].Renewable energy sources are an important alternative that allows countries to produce their own energy. The most important feature of these energy alternatives, which come in different forms, such as wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and hydroelectricity, is that they obtain their resources from natur...

The Web hus become an extremely large source ofinformation and also a platform of various e-service including e-business, e-science, e-learning, e-government, etc. How to develop the new technology to discover useful knowledge from Web-based data is #Re of the challenges in the area of Web Intelligence. inductive Logic Programming is the j e l d defined as the intersection of machine learning and logic programming. Two strengths of Inductive h g i c Programming, namely, the expressive representation formalism and t h use of background knowledge make it suitable to deal with Web-based data and then find use@ rules for various applications for Web intelligence. This paper provides an overview on the recent various applications of InductiveLogic Programming for Web intelligence.
