Global investors&rsquo ; investment in local currency bonds, especially Korea Treasury Bonds, has increased significantly since the mid-2000s, and their influence on bonds and financial markets has grown consistently. In this paper, we investigate global investor&rsquo ; s priority of decision factors in investing in Korea Treasury Bonds by distributing a pairwise comparative survey to experts and analyzing the results using the analytical hierarchy process technique. For analysis, we created model frames with experts in the field of investment based on literature analysis, selected survey participants by considering their institution of their employment, work experience and region, and obtained responses. We find that investors with short-term investment propensities are more sensitive to international and domestic factors and less to risk factors, and more heavily influenced by U.S. dollar funding conditions. On the other hand, investors with long-term investment tendencies are found to be more sensitive to international and risk factors as opposed to domestic factors, and influenced by: global policy rate decisions and fiscal soundness, sovereign credit rating, possible global economic recession, and geographical risks. Our findings not only contribute to enhancing investors&rsquo ; understanding of the Korean bond market by discussing consensus among investors, but also provide policy implications for Korean government policymakers who need stable and sustained funding.

Kent içinde meydana gelen saldırılarda, kentsel dokunun vazgeçilmez unsurları olan yapılar ve yapıların çevreleri ciddi zararlar almışlardır. Hasarın yayılmasını önlemek ve hasar alacak çevrenin en kısa sürede eski haline getirmek için, bomba riskini göz önüne alan tasarımlar gerçekleştirmelidir. Bu çalışmada yapılar üzerinde oluşan hasarın, patlamanın hangi tür özelliklerine bağlı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Daha sonra farklı ülkelerin standartları ve uzman görüşlerini de içeren literatür taraması ışığında özellikle araç bomba saldırılarda kent ve yapı ilişkisi bağlamında alınabilecek önlemler belirlenmiştir. Bu önlemler Çok Kriterli Karar Verme (ÇKKV) metodolojisinden Analitik Hiyerarşi Prosesi (AHP) yönteminden yararlanılarak konunun uzmanları tarafından değerlendirilmiştir. Değerlendirmeler sonucunda kent içindeki bu saldırılarda en önemli kriter Kamu Yollarına Mesafe, en az öneme sahip kriterin ise Diğer Riskli Yapılara Erişim kriteri olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Kriter ağırlıkları bulunduktan sonra bu kriterler gözleme dayalı tespit yöntemi ile iki tren istasyonu numunesi üzerinde uygulanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, kent içindeki bombalı saldırılara karşı yapı ve çevresi kapsamında öneriler sunan bu çalışma, bilinçli toplum ve güvenli kentleşmenin temellerinin atılmasına yönelik önem teşkil emektedir.

The objective of this research was to formulate a policy strategy for integrated pest management by using SWOT AHP methods (case study on vegetable cultivation in Lampung Province). This method used A'WOT; the combination of AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) analysis and SWOT (Strength-Weakness-Opportunity-Threat) analysis. The analysis result showed the main strength factors becoming the base for sustainable agricultural business were the availability of good structures and infrastructures both in production and marketing, and the availability of sufficient production structure (seeds) with good quality and quantity. The weakness factors becoming concern were dominantly lack of institutional funding (capital) for vegetable business, many problems in the integrated pest management (IPM) technology implementation stage, many problems in good agriculture practices (GAP), and numbers of families making their life as farmers. The opportunity factors were the availability of IPM and GAP technologies, growing campaign for consuming domestic products reducing import, and high government commitment to improve vegetable farmers' welfare. The threats to concern were no protection operational base and farmer's empowerment, very few institutional funding (capital) for vegetable business, and many problems in the GAP and technology implementation. Six strategies becoming priority in order were drafting the regulation and standard of operation that regulate IPM and GAP implementations; strengthening farmer' institution, capital and agricultural insurance; drafting legality of operational protection and farmer's empowerment; agricultural intensification in order to improve quantity, quality, safety, and environmental insight for food security and independency; optimization of technology transfer by socialization or education of IPM and GAP for vegetable crops; and inexpensive IPM system based controlling technology development and effective and efficient of alternative production structures.

Abstract Objectives Pharmaceutical supply chain is a significant component of the health system in supplying medicines, particularly in countries where main drugs are provided by local pharmaceutical companies. No previous studies exist assessing risks and disruptions in pharmaceutical companies while assessing the pharmaceutical supply chain. Any risks affecting the pharmaceutical companies could disrupt supply medicines and health system efficiency. The goal of this study was the risk assessment in pharmaceutical industry in Iran considering process's priority, hazard and probability of risks. Methods The study was carried out in 4 phases; risk identification through literature review, risk identification in Iranian pharmaceutical companies through interview with experts, risk analysis through a questionnaire and consultation with experts using group analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method and rating scale (RS) and risk evaluation of simple additive weighting (SAW) method. Results In total, 86 main risks were identified in the pharmaceutical supply chain with perspective of pharmaceutical companies classified in 11 classes. The majority of risks described in this study were related to the financial and economic category. Also financial management was found to be the most important factor for consideration. Conclusion Although pharmaceutical industry and supply chain were affected by current political conditions in Iran during the study time, but half of total risks in the pharmaceutical supply chain were found to be internal risks which could be fixed by companies, internally. Likewise, political status and related risks forced companies to focus more on financial and supply management resulting in less attention to quality management.

International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications(IJACSA), 8(11), 2017 ; Companies are facing different challenges in order to adapt to their environmental context. They should be aware of the changes on the social, political, ecological and economical levels. Moreover, they should act in an efficient and rapid manner by leveraging new and reconfigurable resources. Organizational agility is the firm's key dynamic capability which enables it to deal with changes and exploit them as opportunities. Firms' objective is thus to attain a higher degree of agility which can help them to perform durably. In this article, a new model based on analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method is proposed. This can help companies to raise their agility level by deploying the most suitable agility enablers which can be either general or specific when related to information technologies. They can thus develop the most appropriate strategy towards agility regarding their internal and external contexts. ; http://thesai.org/Downloads/Volume8No11/Paper_19-An_AHP_Model_towards_an_Agile_Enterprise.pdf

Dependence assessment among human errors in human reliability analysis (HRA) is an important issue. Many of the dependence assessment methods in HRA rely heavily on the expert's opinion, thus are subjective and may sometimes cause inconsistency. In this article, we propose a computational model based on the Dempster‐Shafer evidence theory (DSET) and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method to handle dependence in HRA. First, dependence influencing factors among human tasks are identified and the weights of the factors are determined by experts using the AHP method. Second, judgment on each factor is given by the analyst referring to anchors and linguistic labels. Third, the judgments are represented as basic belief assignments (BBAs) and are integrated into a fused BBA by weighted average combination in DSET. Finally, the CHEP is calculated based on the fused BBA. The proposed model can deal with ambiguity and the degree of confidence in the judgments, and is able to reduce the subjectivity and improve the consistency in the evaluation process.
