“…According to the similarities with multi-criteria decision making (MCDM), the ideal solution (TOPSIS), Shannon entropy (SE), and the analytical network method (ANP) methods, priority is given to the implementation of strategic plans, such as economic conditions, managerial opinions, consensus, city council approvals, and national documents [ 56 ].…”

This article will tell you how to combine “entropy” in the model to reduce the bias of multi-criteria evaluation. Subjective weights are usually determined by decision makers based on their professional background, experience and knowledge, and other factors. The objective weight is obtained by constructing an evaluation matrix of the information based on the actual information of the evaluation criteria of the scheme, and obtained through multi-step calculations. Different decision-making methods are based on different weight types. Considering only one of the two weights often leads to biased results. In addition, in order to establish an effective supply chain, buyers must find suitable merchants among suppliers that provide quality products and/or services. Based on the above factors, it is difficult to choose a suitable alternative. The main contribution of this paper is to combine analytic network process (ANP), entropy weight and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) to construct a suitable multi-criteria decision (MCDM) model. By means of ANP-entropy weights to extend the TOPSIS method, ANP-entropy weights are used to replace subjective weights. A supplier selection decision-making model based on ANP-entropy TOPSIS is proposed. At last, the sensitivity analysis shows that, taking the selection of building materials suppliers as an example, the hybrid ANP-entropy TOPSIS method can effectively select suitable suppliers.

“…From the factors in the six PESTEL analysis categories, key drivers of change that are most likely to affect the success or failure of strategies are then identified to inform plans. In the medical literature, the PESTEL analysis framework has been applied to varied areas including water management, [9][10][11][12] air pollution controls, 13 atrial fibrillation management, 14 and dementia policy. 15 A structured analysis method provides future repeatability, and comparability if the framework is applied to the practice of OEM in other sectors.…”

Objective: Transfer of military medical facilities to the Defense Health Agency is transforming the Military Health System. Our objective is to inform this transformation with respect to optimum application of occupational and environmental medicine (OEM) expertise. Methods: We defined and analyzed the external influences on military OEM practice using a structured framework to identify key drivers. Results: Key drivers are political and economic factors. These may change the size or military/ civilian ratio of the specialty. Limited career development pathways should prompt consideration of making OEM a second or combined residency, and military-funded training of civilian physicians may be required. OEM specialist utilization should be reassessed. Conclusions: OEM is a highly adaptable specialty defined by the needs of its stakeholders. Comprehensive analysis of external influences can ensure that OEM practice remains in step with changing needs.

Exploring Community Symbiotic Tourism Programs for the Utilization and Conservation of Ecology in Lava Stony Forest (Gotjawal) of Jeju Island, Korea

According to our research findings, the future-oriented conservation of natural ecological resources in the Sahn-Yang Gotjawal area should be shaped and formed in a sustainable ecological way to improve the economy of the Sahn-Yang area. This study covers a systematic and quantitative assessment of the function, design, and purpose of establishing a regional eco-tourism program using the Sahn-Yang Gotjawal (Volcanic Lava Stony Forest) natural resources of Jeju Island, South Korea. Although citizens’ interest in Jeju Gotjawal has increased, reckless exploration and damage still occurred. There were improvements on the movement to preserve geological features and the ecosystem. However, unfortunately the negative effects of only seeking development opportunities without regard to the environment was realized as well. Through strengths, opportunities, aspirations, results (SOAR) analysis, various potential situations and conditions using the Sahn-Yang Gotjawal resources were analyzed with quantitative and qualitative techniques. In addition, through media analysis, the benefits and opportunities that the Gotjawal resources could provide the citizens were identified and the results were combined with SOAR analysis to present an integrated vision. In order to make wise use of Sahn-Yang Gotjawal, such as conserving, sustaining, and creating accessibility (guided by SESs), it is necessary to concentrate on the ‘strengths’ such as creating and maximizing attractions which can develop management programs such as preservation research and monitoring, as well as establishing sustainable usage of facilities such as visitors’ gathering spaces, exploration activities, and convenient facilities.
