The Extension of TOPSIS Method for Multi-Attribute Decision-Making With q-Rung Orthopair Hesitant Fuzzy Sets

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
As a combination of q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets (q-ROFSs) and hesitant fuzzy sets (HFSs), q-rung orthopair hesitant fuzzy sets (q-ROHFSs) are more effective, powerful, and meaningful in solving the complexity, ambiguity, and expert hesitancy of ...

Neurocognitive, School‐Based, and Quality of Life Outcomes for Youth With Sickle Cell Disease and Thalassemia: A Scoping Review

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The medical burdens of sickle cell disease (SCD) and transfusion‐dependent β‐thalassemia (TDT) are chronic and cumulative, even in children. Yet the effects expand beyond medications and healthcare visits due to their impacts on school attendance, academic performance, and peer engagement.

Novel Linear Diophantine Fuzzy Information Measures Based Decision Making Approach Using Extended VIKOR Method

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2023
One of the purposes of fuzzy set theory is to overcome the uncertainties in the problems of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) via membership functions. But the fuzzy set theory has own limitations. To remove the limitations on membership functions of

Effectiveness of Resistance Intradialytic Exercise Compared to Aerobic Intradialytic Exercise for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

Multi-Attribute Decision-Making Approach Based on Dual Hesitant Fuzzy Information Measures and Their Applications

open access: yesMathematics, 2019
Combining the ideas and advantages of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) and hesitant fuzzy set (HFS), dual hesitant fuzzy set (DHFS) could express uncertain and complex information given by decision makers (DMs) in a more flexible manner.
