The Resilience of Egyptian Cities against Health Crises 'Egyptian Pandemic City Tool'

The world today, recovering from a pandemic crisis, has witnessed a complete change in everyday challenges and routines. Following the COVID-19 crisis, the world was forced to face the challenge of preserving human life. Today, city planners and urban designers have to establish cities that can mitigate the impact of health problems; in other words, the city's urban product must be more resilient against health problems. The condition of completely shutting down urban areas and transforming them into infirmities has led to great economic and social crises. Economically, the world has lost at least 3.7 trillion dollars, equivalent to 4.4% of the Global Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The present paper aims at developing a tool that has the ability to measure the resilience of the Egyptian urban settlements against pandemic crises; thus, helping planners and urban designers to establish and promote pandemic cities. Based on profound theoretical and analytical studies, the concept of pandemic cities was studied and analyzed composing a list of indicators that illustrate the ability of existing urban settlements to face pandemic crises. Then, based on the findings of an empirical study that targeted Egyptian experts, the most relevant indicators were identified. Using relative importance index (RII), the relative weights of indicators were calculated and utilized as a tool that can measure the resilience of Egyptian urban settlements against pandemic crises.

Raw material criticality assessment with weighted indicators: An application of fuzzy analytic hierarchy process

Abstract This research focuses on the relative weight of indicators in raw material criticality assessment. The weight of the indicators configured for a criticality assessment varies based on the purpose of the evaluation and the stakeholders. That weight also has a significant impact on the assessment results. Consequently, it is essential to derive the weights using a scientific methodology quantitatively. We applied a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to secure a plausible weight for the appraisal of the raw material criticality in Korea. The results indicate that significant changes in the criticality are observed comparing the results from the previous method. We also set up three groups, those are government, industry, and research, to discuss the differences in a stakeholder's perspective. Our results and discussions on the difference in the weights and criticality for each group could help to establish policies to mitigate the raw material criticality.

Tailored approaches grounded on immunogenetic features for refined prognostication in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients with differential somatic hypermutation status of the immunoglobulin heavy variable genes, namely mutated or unmutated, display fundamental clinico-biological differences. Considering this, we assessed prognosis separately within mutated (M-CLL) and unmutated (U-CLL) CLL in 3015 patients, hypothesizing that the relative significance of relevant indicators may differ between these two categories. Within Binet A M-CLL patients, besides TP53 abnormalities, trisomy 12 and stereotyped subset #2 membership were equivalently associated with the shortest time-to-first-treatment and a treatment probability at five and ten years after diagnosis of 40% and 55%, respectively; the remaining cases exhibited 5-year and 10-year treatment probability of 12% and 25%, respectively. Within Binet A U-CLL patients, besides TP53 abnormalities, del(11q) and/or SF3B1 mutations were associated with the shortest time-to-first-treatment (5- and 10-year treatment probability: 78% and 98%, respectively); in the remaining cases, males had a significantly worse prognosis than females. In conclusion, the relative weight of indicators that can accurately risk stratify early-stage CLL patients differs depending on the somatic hypermutation status of the immunoglobulin heavy variable genes of each patient. This finding highlights the fact that compartmentalized approaches based on immunogenetic features are necessary to refine and tailor prognostication in CLL.

Multiple criteria assessment of a new tram line development scenario in Vilnius City public transport system

This paper considers the technological development of an additional network for Vilnius City public transport. Several types of scenarios for the development of Vilnius City tram line were analysed. This paper describes the situation pertaining to Vilnius City transport system as well as the traffic parameters, which are used for a multiple attribute ranking of a tram line development in Vilnius City. The multiple attribute criteria methods have been chosen to perform the ranking of three development scenarios and to estimate the best alternative based on the traffic conditions of Vilnius City. The experts of different decision-making groups have performed the importance analysis of traffic parameters, which were chosen for the assessment of alternative scenarios for the tram line development. The transport system experts were used to determine the relative weights of indicators. Two methods – TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) and SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) – wer...

A Study of Using Analytical Hierarchy Process and Grey Relational Grade in Wine Evaluation

The purpose of this study was to construct a wine evaluation model by using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Samples totaling 30 in number were subjected to find the main components and analyze the volatile elements. The elements studied included five components: dry extract, pH, titratable acidity, alcohol level and residual sugar. The price of the wine will also be included. Analytical Hierarchy Process is built basically on these six elements. This thesis will use interviews and evaluation of experts' questionnaires to sift the evaluation index. Next, the AHP is applied to conduct professional evaluation, and then get the relative weights of indicators under the examination of evaluation index. The result will give the ratings of the wines from poor to excellent. It is hoped that this study may lead to helpful for assist consumer in choosing a wine. The model will be able to commend adaptive the wine to consumer and provide the information of the wine. It will be very useful in hospitality industry.
