Authors: Abdel Aal Samah Ibrahim
Published: January 2024

Sustainable and resilient supplier selection and management are essential to building environmentally responsible and resilient supply chains. Selecting sustainable and resilient suppliers enables organizations to ensure the long-term viability of the supply chain. To do that, there is a need to identify suitable suppliers that align with sustainability and resilience goals. This study aims to provide an overview of the requirements and criteria for selecting and managing sustainable and resilient suppliers and emphasizes the significance of integrating sustainability and resilience principles throughout the supply chain. Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) is used to deal with various criteria. The double normalization-based multi-aggregation (DNMA) method ranks the alternatives. This study used 18 criteria and 12 alternatives to select the best one. By employing these criteria, organizations can identify suppliers that align with sustainability and resilience goals.  The results show that alternative 3 is the best and alternative 11 is the worst. Also, the results show that the proposed method can provide a new method to rank alternatives. Moreover, the proposed method can introduce a more simple and flexible method for selecting a suitable supplier and ensuring the long-term viability of the supply chain.

Accurate classification of credit customers is the premise of providing personalized credit services to them. According to customers' credit needs, we collect customer sample data, and then use users' repayment ability and repayment willingness to mark the samples. Bayesian classifier is constructed by constructing probability distribution function. By using test training and testing classification algorithm, it is found that Gaussian Bayesian algorithm can classify and predict data well. In the process of classifying samples, funds are allocated in combination with classification preferences. Experiments show that credit rating parameters have a significant impact on the optimization of resource allocation. By properly setting the values of credit rating parameters and classification preferences, it has reference value for reducing credit risks.

Aim: This study was conducted with the aim of comparing mothers and fathers of children with cancer in terms of marital intimacy, parental self-efficacy and emotion regulation strategies. Method: This study was of comparative causal type. Among the parents who referred to Mahak Hospital in Tehran in 2022, 146 people (73 couples) were selected as the current sample and questionnaire of intimacy-marriage (Walker and Thompson, 1983), parental self-efficacy (Dumka et al., 1996) and cognitive emotion regulation strategies (Garnefski & Kraaij, 2006) were completed. Dependent t-test and SPSS-27 software were used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that the average of marital intimacy and parenting self-efficacy was slightly higher in fathers than in mothers, but this difference was not statistically significant (p<0.05). However, in the cognitive emotion regulation strategies, mothers' scores in the less important subscale of a number of adaptive strategies were higher than fathers' and the mean rumination of maladaptive strategies was higher in fathers than in mothers. Therefore, in the comparison of fathers and mothers of children with cancer, no significant difference was found in terms of marital intimacy and parental self-efficacy, there was only a difference in cognitive emotion regulation strategies, compromised strategies and non-compromised strategies between fathers and mothers, which could mean that the performance of both parents depend on each other and act very similar to each other. Conclusion: Parents need psychological care because parents are with the child during the illness and their anxiety and behavior affect the sick child and the treatment process, and paying attention to the gender difference and the wishes of the couple can be a strategy to provide better services to the parents.

Background and Aim: sexual relationship anxiety, which refers to the degree of fear of discussing one's sexual relations with another, is an issue that has not been studied in detail as much as others; Therefore, the explanation of the structural model of predicting sexual anxiety was based on self-sexual schemas by examining the mediating role of emotional regulation in men with heart failure. Methods: The current research is a descriptive and correlational quantitative research in terms of fundamental-applicative purpose and in terms of data collection and the nature of the title. The statistical population of this research was men with heart failure who referred to Martyr Dr. Lavasani Hospital in Tehran in 1402. The sampling method in this research was non-random and accessible, and 300 men were selected. In this research, the sexual relationship anxiety questionnaire of Davis (2006), the sexual schema scale of Andersen and Siranoski (1994) and the emotional regulation of Gratz et al. (2006) were used; To analyze the data, Pearson's correlation coefficient test and path analysis were used using spss-22 and amos-18 software. Results: The results showed that the strongest direct effect on sexual relationship anxiety was related to emotional regulation with an effect size of -0.50, followed by self-sexual schema with an effect size of 0.47. The result of the direct effects test showed that these effects are significant at the confidence level of at least 95% (p<0.05). Conclusion: The confirmation of the mediating role of variables shows that in the pathology and treatment of male sexual deviance, paying attention to psychological aspects, especially cognitive and emotional aspects, is as important as paying attention to its physiological aspects. The mediating role of emotional and cognitive variables in the dual control model needs more attention.
