A thriving healthcare system perfectly reflects economic development and contentment amongst the people of any region. With increasing anxiety concering health and growing medical needs, hospitals worldwide face substantial challenge to provide patients with adequate medical facilities under one roof. With a fragile state of the health industry in a developing country like India, there is a need for the hospitals to opt for international standards and comply with other premier health centers of the country. This paper aims to select the hospitals based on incongruous and conflicting criteria involving group decision-making using the Intuitionistic Fuzzy (IF) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. The criteria used are concomitant to an insured public health scheme named Ayushman Bharat-National Health Protection Scheme (AB-NHPS) of the Government of India. For each alternative Euclidean distance has been used to calculate the positive and negative separation measure from the ideal solution. The relative closeness to the ideal solution has been used to rank the hospitals. The result is a list of hospitals ranked from best to worst based on the laid criteria. It can aid governing bodies in decision-making under an uncertain environment with multiple complex criteria to analyze.

The goal of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) is to select the most appropriate of the alternatives by evaluating many conflicting criteria together. MCDM methods are widely available in the literature and have been used in various energy problems. The key problems studied in electrical power systems in recent years have included voltage instability and voltage collapse. Different flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) equipment has been used for this purpose for decades, increasing voltage stability while enhancing system efficiency, reliability and quality of supply, and offering environmental benefits. Finding the best locations for these devices in terms of voltage stability in actual electrical networks poses a serious problem. Many criteria should be considered when determining the most suitable location for the controller. The aim of this paper is to provide a comparative analysis of MCDM techniques to be used for optimal location of a static VAR compensator (SVC) device in terms of voltage stability. The ideal location can be determined by means of sorting according to priority criteria. The proposed approach was carried out using the Power System Analysis Toolbox (PSAT) in MATLAB in the IEEE 14-bus test system. Using ten different MCDM methods, the most appropriate locations were compared among themselves and a single ranking list was obtained, integrated with the Borda count method, which is a data fusion technique. The application results showed that the methods used are consistent among themselves. It was revealed that the integrated model was an appropriate method that could be used for optimal location selection, providing reliable and satisfactory results to power system planners.

Each power plant (PP) is solo entity whose construction site is determined by different criteria in accordance with some physical rules. Latterly, great importance is provided to siting PP in inexact surroundings. Multiple-criteria decision-making for the proper location of the PP construction is relevant. The objective of this research is to create a model for decision-makers to rank available sites for installing hydropower plant (HPP) in accordance with multiple-criteria attributes e.g. accessibility to electrical grid, power potential, economical respects, environmental influence, topography, and natural hazards. In this research, a novel application of a hybrid approach that employs rough set theory (RST) and combinative distance-based assessment (CODAS) method is proposed to prioritize available locations for installing HPP. Firstly, the strength of RST is adopted to get minimal attributes reduction set. Secondly, the relative weights of minimal attributes are determined using RST. Finally, CODAS technique is utilized to calculate the rank of alternatives. The comparison between the proposed method-based results and the results without attributes reduct, proves that the proposed method saves the time and energy.

In today's world where intensive competition exists between enterprises, it is of great importance to work in cooperation with the right suppliers. Selection of the right suppliers is a significant factor in the success of enterprises. In the selection of the best supplier (s), the strengths and weaknesses of potential suppliers should be taken into consideration. Many qualitative and quantitative criteria are included in this selection process as well as the decision-maker. One of the issues that leaves the decision maker in a difficult position is selecting the most appropriate one from the alternatives available, as traditional methods may not produce a realistic solution in this process. However, multicriteria decision making methods facilitate the process of finding a solution and enable decision makers to reach the right decisions. In this study, the fuzzy TOPSIS method, which is one of the multi-criteria decision making methods, is used in this problem area to select the most appropriate supplier of garment 'X' operating in Turkey. It is detected through analyses conducted in line with the results obtained. The ranking of the three supplier firms determined by firm X are as follows in terms of closeness index values: supplier 1, supplier 3 and supplier 2.

Separation schemes along with Vessel Traffic Services have improved the safety of navigation, particularly within restricted waters. Their role is rather passive and common sense is still required whenever a decision is to be made. It is assumed that it could be beneficial in terms of collision or accident risk reduction once active measures are introduced. The concept raises a wide variety of problems that are to be discussed, defined and solved.

Systemy separacji wraz ze służbami ruchu przyczyniły się w znaczący sposób do poprawy bezpieczeństwa ruchu statków w rejonach ograniczonych. W większości przypadków ich rola jest pasywna a zdrowy rozsądek dominuje jako główny element podczas podejmowania jakichkolwiek decyzji. Zakłada się, że wprowadzenie systemu o charakterze aktywnym opartym na solidnych podstawach teoretycznych z zakresu podejmowania decyzji przyczyni się do redukcji ryzyka kolizji czy wypadku morskiego. Takie podejście rodzi jednak szereg problemów, które powinny być zdefiniowane, rozwiązane a następnie implementowane.
