Supplier selection is naturally a complex multi-objective problem including both quantitative and qualitative factors. This paper deals with this issue from a new view point. A quantity discount situation, which plays a role of motivator for buyer, is considered. Moreover, in order to find a reasonable compromise solution for this problem, at first a multi-objective modeling is presented. Then a proposed fuzzy compromise programming is utilized to determine marginal utility function for each criterion. Also, group decision makers’ preferences have taken into account and the weight of each criterion has been measured by forming pair-wise comparison matrixes. Finally the proposed approach is conducted for a numerical example and its efficacy and efficiency are verified via this section. The results indicate that the proposed method expedites the generation of compromise solution.

The use of quantitative methods and mathematical models is inevitable to facilitate understanding the intricacies of issues and problem the areas, due to component-oriented attitude to issues. Since the regional planning requires understanding of different areas position to each other in terms of development, the aim of this study is using the component-oriented approach to evaluate the development of Ardabil townships. There are many indicators to measure the situation of development of regions. Each of these indicators are valuable and important that are used with respect to the objectives and methods. This study takes action to measure the development condition and comparative comparison of the parameters of different parts of development in townships of Ardebil province uses 60 indicators (in sectors health, infrastructure, cultural and economic). The research method is descriptive-analytical that is used Multi-attribute technique to data analysis. In accordance with the overall results achieved, the development condition of the townships of Ardabil province is unbalanced and this situation is evident in various development sectors (health, infrastructural, cultural and economic). The minimum value of the standard deviation and amplitude the development of townships has been assessed in economic sector that reflect the relative closeness of townships is in this part of the development.

Aim&Background: with increasing the unreliability in the competitive and dynamic environment of the market, caring the supply chain resilience is important. whose start point is selection of resilient suppliers. Steel makers as one of the most important and vital industries of the country due to market disturbance and increase of currency price have have encountered raw materials supply problem specially iron ore supply. The aim of this research is to identify criteria of the resilient suppliers in the steel industry of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari and rank it. Method: This research is of applicative kind which has been done by qualitative and quantitative method. During the aimed sampling, 10 of the experts acquainted with the research has been selected. In the qualitative section, Criteria affect the resilient supplier selection using theme analysis and during interview with experts has been identified. Then in the quantitative section weight of criteria was calculated using hierarchical analysis and the ranking of the 3 raw material supplier companies has been done using new MARCOS multi-criterion decision making method. Findings: In the qualitative section six criteria including information technology, delivery, safety, enviromental and social issues, quality, flexibility and agility using theme analysis and during interview with experts has been identified. After criteria weights were determined agility has been identified as the most important criterion. Ranking of suppliers was done using MARCOS method and it is showed that the acquired results using MARCOS method is compatible with the results of VIKOR, TOPSIS, COPRAS, and QULAIFLEX methods. Also it was showed that MARCOS method is sensible to probable changes in decision making criteria importance and method stability in supplier selection at the various circumstances of suppliers has been showed. Conclusion: Criteria which is determined in this research is compatible with criteria which was determined in previous researches. Also MARCOS method is simple, effective and stable for ranking the suppliers at the dynamic circumstances.

Neutrosophic set theory plays an important role in dealing with the impreciseness and inconsistency in data encountered in solving real-life problems. The current paper focuses on the neutrosophic fuzzy multiobjective linear programming problem (NFMOLPP), where the coefficients of the objective functions, constraints, and right-hand side parameters are single-valued trapezoidal neutrosophic numbers (NNs). From the viewpoint of complexity of the problem, a ranking function of NNs is proposed to convert the problem into equivalent MOLPPs with crisp parameters. Then suitable membership functions for each objective are formulated using their lowest and highest value. With the aim of linear programming techniques, a compromise optimal solution of NFMOLPP is obtained. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that it obtains a compromise solution by optimizing truth-membership, indeterminacy-membership, and falsity-membership functions, simultaneously. Finally, a transportation problem is introduced as an application to illustrate the utility and practicality of the approach.

Present study, being performed with a Quran-based approach and semantic method, has examined two verbal usages of dohn in the verse: “ Who would have had thee compromise, that they may compromise, ” during four steps of textual study, synonymous words, opposite usages and balance of grammatical structure, word`s meaning and commentary purpose. As is understood, polytheists have meant by the word the Prophet`s agreement with them and leaving Islam so that he may be counted as a pagan. Polytheists would like trick the Prophet and, showing an artificial friendly face, follow him in disbelief to make it clear for all that he is not a true prophet.

In some lateral alliances, firms coordinate their interactions in Supply Chain Management (SCM) via contracts. Successful implementation of contracts in lateral alliances remains challenging in practice because of the incomplete identification of implementation barriers by firms involved in the alliance. This paper investigates the implementation issues of lateral contracts. To identify the barriers, the literature and interview experts on the subject matter are reviewed. By adopting the novel Fuzzy Measurement of Alternatives and Ranking according to the Compromise Solution (FMARCOS) prioritization method, we evaluate the main barriers that firms face in the successful implementation of contracts discovered in our identification phase. A sensitivity analysis is conducted to demonstrate the stability and robustness of our proposed method. To check the reliability of the proposed model, a case study is solved with three methods of Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods. The results show that they do not differ much from each other, which indicates the validity of this model. To validate the findings, a list of barriers is applied to assess a set of firms in the Iranian car industry, and more prepared firms are located as future partners of potential lateral alliances. The results are consistent with the common intuition toward these sample firms in the case study. The main contributions of this work include the application of the FMARCOS method in the study of the bidirectional implementation barriers, the consideration of novel aspects of implementation barriers unaddressed in the extant literature, and a real-case study in the Iranian car industry.

Functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA), often termed stress-induced anovulation (SIA), is characterized by reduced GnRH drive and mild hypercortisolemia. The behavioral antecedents associated with the development of nonorganic forms of chronic anovulation and amenorrhea are variable. While voluntary undernutrition and increased activity, including excessive exercise, are commonly reported by women with FHA / SIA, the energy deficits created by these behaviors generally do not seem sufficient to independently disrupt GnRH drive. We therefore hypothesized that metabolic stress amplifies the impact of social stress. Available monkey and human data support this notion, but the mechanisms mediating this potentiation have not been fully explicated. Based on the foregoing considerations, we formulated three key questions regarding the pathogenesis of FHA / SIA. First, does metabolic challenge in the form of exercise elicit a comparable metabolic and endocrine response in eumenorrheic, ovulatory women and those with FHA / SIA? Second, to what extent is the increase in circulating cortisol observed in FHA communicated to the central nervous system? Third, will addressing problematic behaviors and attitudes reverse FHA? An understanding of the pathogenesis of FHA / SIA may help in treating couples with infertility, especially those who have subclinical forms of hypothalamic hypogonadism such as functional oligospermia and luteal insufficiency.

Compromise is of matters that it has plentiful applications in the people transactions and it is circulated more every day. But, legislator has not cleared and enacted article on it to now, for this reason, there were different views in various times, so that, it can't to see completely unique policy in lawyer views and judicial precedent.Jurisprudent ideas and jurisprudent sources has effective role played in the views dispersion, and sometimes, political and economical expediencies have not had ineffective to make that dispersed situation.In this investigation, tried to clear applicable rules on the compromise and its legal nature and also to present views about legal institutive nature. In this case, tried to bring the preliminary condition and to analyze its concept and nature and also views of the believed on cancellation and correctness of the preliminary condition and so to present a reason as credibility reason and correctness and necessity of the compromise jurisprudently and lawfully.At last, it is concluded that compromise is a mutual legal act in nature and it has contract matrix, it is unspecified, commutative and obligatory and also its subject is a legal positive act i.e. counter promise if any parties to compose a contract with determined terms and characteristics in future that its doing has been promised.

This paper proposes a multi-objective function for hourly optimization of microgrids performance through minimizing the operating costs, losses and, voltage deviation index. A fuzzy decision-maker is used in this study to select the best solution from the optimally set goals by the Pareto Front beam method. In this paper, the collections of microgrids are separated into several clusters and power transaction between clusters as well as between distribution system and MG clusters, with consideration for the uncertainty of renewable energy resources (RESs), is examined. An hourly robust energy management approach is presented for distribution systems under the penetration of renewable energy-based MGs. In addition to wind turbines and photovoltaics as RESs, the MGs are equipped with energy storage systems and micro-turbines. The uncertainty of renewable generation is demonstrated via the information gap decision theory (IGDT) technique. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed model, it is tested on a 94 bus distribution test system using the general algebraic modeling system (GAMS) software. The results show the prominence of MGs clustering in improving the techno-economic characteristics of the distribution system and indicate the important consequences of clustered microgrids in optimal power transaction and distribution system operation.
