After the COVID-19 outbreak worldwide, we will sooner or later encounter trauma patients with COVID-19 in thedeveloping countries. It is a challenging decision-making process for an orthopedic surgeon to provide the patients withthe best practice in the crisis. Here we discuss the issue in terms of clinical severity of COVID-19 pneumonia, priorityof orthopedic surgical trauma ...

This article focuses on the estimation of population proportion when the study variable is sensitive in nature. Two implicit randomized response techniques are proposed where the unrelated trait can be chosen subjectively. In addition to unbiased estimation of population proportion and variance, an empirical study is conducted to inspect the relative efficiency facet of the proposed techniques....

This paper presents an approach for target behavior tendency estimation (Receding, Approaching). It is developed on the principles of DezertSmarandache theory (DSmT) of plausible and paradoxical reasoning applied to conventional sonar amplitude measurements, which serve as an evidence for corresponding decision-making procedures. In some real world situations it is difficult to finalize these p...

In various industrial fields, the operators use predesigned procedures either to solve problems or for troubleshooting. In the Parisian subway, such procedures exist since 1900. However, these procedures are not always exactly suited to the case at hand, and the operators generally prefer to customize a solution than to rely on fixed procedures. For the design of an “intelligent” assistant syst...

Online learning during the pandemic has an impact on development of use media. This study aims to describe Indonesian language media in elementary schools. research is classified as a systematic literature review with following procedure: (1) setting background and objectives, (2) making questions, (3) searching for literature, (4) selecting criteria, (5) quality check-lists procedures, (6) dat...

The present research investigated the relation between autonomy (i.e., freedom of choice) and procedural justice. Three studies tested the hypothesis that people would be particularly sensitive to the fairness of decision-making procedures when they experience deprivation of autonomy needs. Study 1 indicated that procedural justice judgments indeed were influenced more strongly by variations in...

Because the decision-making capacity of individuals with schizophrenia may fluctuate, additional protections for such persons who enroll in long-term research studies may be needed. For the NIMH-sponsored Clinical Antipsychotic Trials of Intervention Effectiveness (CATIE) schizophrenia study, new procedures were developed to help ensure an objective assessment of a patient's continued participa...

In this paper we propose efficient methods for elicitation of complexly structured preferences and utilize these in problems decision making under (severe) uncertainty. Based on the general framework introduced Jansen et al. (2018) [37], now design procedures algorithms that enable makers to reveal their underlying preference system (i.e. two relations, one encoding ordinal, other cardinal part...
