 Development of a multi expert multi-criteria intuitionistic fuzzy AHP & TOPSIS methodology  Transformation of intuitionistic fuzzy sets into interval-valued fuzzy sets  Application in a real life surgical robot selection problem, and comparison & sensitivity analysesIn recent years, the extensions of ordinary fuzzy sets have been studied by many researchers. Many extensions have been introduced over a 45 year period. The aim of the fuzzy set extensions is to let decision makers define membership, non-membership and hesitancy functions in a larger domain. In the literature, the relations between these extensions and transformations between fuzzy set extensions have not been discussed sufficiently. In Figure A, the structure of the proposed methodology is illustrated. Figure A. Structure of the proposed methodologyPurpose: In this study, it is aimed to contribute to the literature by analyzing the relationships and transformation processes between intuitionistic fuzzy sets and interval-valued fuzzy sets. This transformation was carried out using an integrated fuzzy AHP and TOPSIS methodology. Besides these, the literature review has showed that there is no study analyzing surgical robot selection problem with fuzzy MCDM methods. Thus, in this respect the study aims to be first in the literature. Theory and Methods:In the application section, the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy integrated AHP&TOPSIS methodology is applied to a real life surgery robot evaluation and selection problem. Herein, transformation operation between triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and interval-valued triangular fuzzy numbers is presented. Results:The proposed integrated fuzzy MCDM methodology solved the real life surgical robot evaluation problem successfully. The ranking of the robots planned to be used in robotic knee surgeries and the obtained criterion weights were shared with the hospital and the presented have been found to be consistent to their expectations. The results were also compared with the ones of classical AHP&TOPSIS, type-2 AHP&TOPSIS and intuitionistic fuzzy AHP&TOPSIS methodologies. A sensitivity analysis was also performed and the findings have demonstrated that the proposed methodology provides robust and reliable results. Conclusion:The study introduced an integrated fuzzy AHP&TOPSIS methodology in which triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers were converted to interval-valued fuzzy sets without any data loss. The proposed fuzzy MCDM methodology was applied to a real life knee surgery robot selection problem. The observed results were found to be compatible with the hospital's expectations.

“…• All safety consultants know that in OHS is one of the most critical step the occupational health and safety risk assessment, which aims to identify, assess, and control high-risk occupational hazards in the workplace for improving the health and safety of workers (2-4). • Occupational health and safety risk assessment studies have gained importance recently as a result of increasing occupational accidents and occupational diseases (5)(6)(7)(8). OHS risk assessment studies have recently gained importance as a result of the increase in occupational accidents and occupational disease due to technological developments and the industrialization process.…”

“…This article should focus on a successful risk assessment procedure in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) where occupational health and safety resources may be less accessible than in larger companies with more labor force, time, knowledge and technology ( 11 ). In recent years, the OHSRA has attracted extensive attentions from scholars and practitioners, and a growing number of methods have been proposed for improving the health and safety workers in various fields ( 5 ).…”

IntroductionRisk assessment and management in companies plays a significant role in the prevention section of any field. In the field of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), its inconsistent or incorrect application has a direct impact on the life and health of employees. In some companies, even today, it is not properly implemented and adequate procedures and methods are not used. The article discusses the development of a step-by-step procedure for risk assessment in industrial environments in the area of OHS.MethodsMain parts of the model and its steps present the partial results of a survey conducted on a sample of 500 small and micro enterprises in the field of risk assessment and the systematic procedure developed following the main survey results. The survey covered only enterprises located in the construction, manufacturing, transport and storage and agriculture, forestry and fishing sectors, which is also a significant statistical feature. Within the structure of respondents, statistical features such as: size of enterprise, sector, region by work are identified. Only enterprises with size by number of employees - micro enterprises from 1 to 9 employees and small enterprises from 10 to 49 employees - were included for the survey.ResultsNew elements of the methods were integrated into the developed systematic procedure, which was subsequently validated in 7 plants of the one company on the same position. The application of the developed model was verified by an expert group consisting of 7 members, an odd number, and the developed checklists and risk register were applied. On the basis of the verification, the model, checklist and risk register were corrected. In addition, the scoring method and the risk matrix were also used, but they did not contain new elements.DiscusionThe procedure is still in use today and employees have been trained to use it. On the basis of the developed methodology and the Checklist, the procedure has been transposed into the European OiRA tool and can be used by companies throughout the European Union.

“… 12 , 13 Australia developed nursing risk assessment indicators for older adults, which involve pressure sores, falls or fractures, use of physical restraints, and psychological and behavioral symptoms. 14 Several risk analysis methods such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), 15 Fine–Kinney method, 16 SHEL model (software, hardware, environment, and liveware), 17 Swiss cheese model, 18 are widely applied to identify potential human mistakes in practice. With the wide application of information technology (IT) in healthcare, risk management information systems (RMIS) are often applied for data collection, information analysis, and statistical reports to identify and monitor preventable incidents.…”

Purpose Adverse events threaten residents’ safety. Risk management is important to provide proper care and maintain quality in residential aged care facilities (RACFs). However, there is little data on adverse events, risk management, and risk early warning in RACFs in the Chinese mainland. This study aimed to fill this gap by investigating the prevalence of the aforementioned aspects and related factors in China. Participants and Methods Using a cross-sectional design, a field survey of 272 RACFs in Hunan Province was conducted from January 25 to June 1, 2020. Data were collected using four main tools on prevalence of nursing adverse events, risk management, risk early warning, and general information. Descriptive statistics were described by frequency (percentage) and median (interquartile range). Mann–Whitney U -test and Kruskal–Wallis H -test, and Spearman coefficient were used for statistical analysis. Results RACFs experienced an average of five (15) adverse events in 2019, with falls and pressure ulcers being the most common. The total average score of risk management in RACFs was 4.72 (0.98) out of 5, with the environment and personnel management dimensions scoring the highest with 4.75 (1) and the service management dimension scoring the lowest with 4.60 (1). Only 72.79% had trained their staff on ethical and legal knowledge and 84.56% had utilized pre-hospital first aid. Further, 30% to 40% were unprepared for contingency plans of suicide, electric shock, gas poisoning, and drowning. There were significant risk management differences among the following variables: facilities’ locations, accreditation with the Practice Certificate of Social Welfare Facilities, bed-size, nursing hours per resident day, requirement for nursing staff with certificates, and payment for nursing staff (p < 0.05). Conclusion RACFs are facing safety challenges with a high prevalence of nursing adverse events. These facilities need to improve risk early warning and management to ensure residents’ safety.
