Sustainability Assessment of Municipal Infrastructure Projects Based on Continuous Interval Argumentation Ordered Weighted Average (C-OWA) and Cloud Models

open access: yesSustainability, 2023
The goals of sustainable development are constantly negatively impacted by infrastructure initiatives. The importance of these projects in advancing the economic, social, and civilizational growth of the country will, however, prevent their construction from being stopped.

Dragonfly taxonomic and functional responses to urbanized streams in southeastern Europe, with management recommendations

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Urbanization drives turnover in dragonfly species composition, traits, and habitat conservation value. Natural stream sections have a higher conservation value (higher DBI) due to presence of specialists. Properly managed urban streams can support diverse dragonfly assemblages.

A signed distance based ranking approach with unknown fuzzy priority vectors for medical diagnosis involving interval type-2 trapezoidal pythagorean fuzzy preference relations

open access: yesOperations Research Perspectives, 2022
In many of our real life problems, we often come across situations where there is no information about the priority weights which make it difficult to analyze the objects under consideration.

Harnessing Spatial and Multi‐Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to Optimize Land Suitability for Kenaf Cultivation in Kelantan: Pathways for Sustainable Economic Development

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11438-11458, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In Kelantan, entrenched land degradation and extensive idling of agricultural lands exacerbate rural poverty. Current top‐down planning often overlooks local geographic and social constraints, despite state initiatives to convert idle lands and strengthen rural livelihoods.

Multi‐Target Anti‐Obesity Potential of Coula edulis Nut Extract in High‐Fat Diet‐Induced Obesity in Rats

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study evaluated the multi‐target anti‐obesity effects of Coula edulis nut extract (CEE) in high‐fat diet‐induced obese Wistar rats. Following 4 weeks of obesity induction, rats received oral CEE at 1 or 2 g/kg body weight, or orlistat for 5 weeks under continued high‐fat diet or normal diet conditions.

On the Tropical Nature of an Intense Mediterranean Cyclone in the Ocean‐Atmosphere System

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The Mediterranean basin hosts a large number of cyclones every year. Among them, some rare cases named medicanes present similarities with tropical cyclones but their dynamical characteristics are debated. The ocean‐atmosphere dynamics of Medicane Ianos (2020) are studied here through km‐scale fully coupled ocean‐wave‐atmosphere simulations ...

Alternative Formulations for the Ordered Weighted Averaging Objective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The ordered weighted averaging objective (OWA) is an aggregate function over multiple optimization criteria which received increasing attention by the research community over the last decade. Different to the ordered weighted sum, weights are attached to

Ordered Median Traveling Salesman Problem

open access: yesNetworks, Volume 88, Issue 1, Page 59-84, July 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a novel combinatorial optimization problem with ordering constraints, termed the Ordered Median Traveling Salesman Problem (OMTSP). The OMTSP integrates key elements from both the classic Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and the Ordered Median Location Problem.

Water Policies and Conflict Resolution of Public Participation Decision-Making Processes Using Prioritized Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) Operators [PDF]

open access: yesWater Resources Management, 2017
[EN] There is a growing interest in environmental policies about how to implement public participation engagement in the context of water resources management. This paper presents a robust methodology, based on ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operators, to conflict resolution decision-making problems under uncertain environments due to both ...
