Published: July 2024

Intrapreneurship is growing in importance at a professional and scientific level. In this sense, in the sports field there are gaps related to the precursors or facilitators (eg, gender, sport, etc.) of the generation of intrapreneurial intentions in sports organizations. The objective of this study is to analyze some precursors of intrapreneurial intention in workers of sports organizations according to gender, the sport to which their organization is dedicated and the job satisfaction of employees. A total of 296 sports employees from sports organizations participated in the study. The Intrapreneurial Intentions Scale was used as a measurement instrument to assess intrapreneurial intentions, while the Overall Job Satisfaction was used to assess job satisfaction. The questionnaires were administered through Google Forms. The results indicated that gender and the sport did not influence the intention of intrapreneurship, while job satisfaction directly and significantly influenced the intentions of intrapreneurship. This study provides valuable information for managers of sports organizations, since some guidelines are exposed that will allow them to promote intrapreneurship among their human capital. 

El intraemprendimiento está creciendo en importancia a nivel profesional y científico. En este sentido, en el ámbito deportivo existen vacíos vinculados con los precursores o facilitadores (ej.: sexo, modalidad deportiva, etc.) de la generación de intenciones intraemprendedoras en organizaciones deportivas. Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar algunos precursores de la intención intraemprendedora en trabajadores de organizaciones deportivas en función del sexo, la modalidad deportiva a la que se dedica su organización y la satisfacción laboral de los empleados. En el estudio participaron 296 empleados de organizaciones deportivas. Se utilizó como instrumento de medida la Escala de Intenciones Intraemprendedoras para la evaluación de las intenciones de intraemprender, mientras que para valorar la satisfacción laboral se utilizó el Overall Job Satisfaction. Los cuestionarios se administraron a través de Google Forms. Los resultados indicaron que el sexo y la modalidad deportiva no influían en la intención de intraemprender, mientras que la satisfacción laboral influía directa y significativamente sobre las intenciones de intraemprender. Este estudio aporta información valiosa para los gestores y gerentes de organizaciones deportivas, ya que se exponen algunas directrices que les permitirán fomentar el intraemprendimiento entre su capital humano.

Published: July 2024

Although there are athletic programmes at the senior high schools in the Upper East Region, the question is whether there are certain institutionalised programmes that help identify athletic talent and facilitate the development of student-athletes to the top of their athletic careers. This study was aimed at examining modes and challenges in sports talent identification in Senior High Schools (SHSs) in the Upper East Region (UER) of Ghana. In this cross-sectional study, 203 sports coaches (100 men and 80 women sports coaches) in SHSs in the UER participated in the investigation. These group of individuals were chosen for the investigation since the core responsibility of identifying and developing sports talents lies with them. Data was collected using a questionnaire from which generalisation could be made about modes and challenges in sports talent identification. Descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages were calculated using SPSS version 25 (data analysis software). The results of the study revealed that the common mode of identifying talented student-athletes was through observation by coaches (90.6%). Also, limited financial resources (82.3%), judging coaches’ competence by their teams’ performance in competitions (73.9%), and early talent identification (69.0%) were identified as major challenges in sports talent identification. In conclusion, most coaches employ the natural selection method in identifying sports talents, therefore, many sports talents in Senior High Schools in Upper East Region are over looked because they are not currently participating in the sports. Adequate financial resources are not allocated for sports talent identification in SHSs in the UER and much focus is placed on winning SHS competitions to the detriment of recognizing the potential for future success in sports performance among student-athletes.

Published: July 2024

Football is the most popular sport in Indonesia and involves thousands of players and millions of spectators. As the sport continues to grow, it demands an accelerated development of players and adjustments to their needs. However, the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) has created a curriculum that only focuses on the physical, tactical, and technical aspects, ignoring the psychological aspect. This study aimed to investigate the role of psychology in the development of football players in Indonesia, focusing on the weaknesses of the current curriculum. The study was concentrated on the development and psychological characteristics that soccer players under 17 years of age require to maintain their performance into adulthood. The study used a grounded theory approach and semi-structured open questions in data collection. The sample included youth player-coaches with a minimum of 5 years of experience, as well as football players under the age of 17. These players typically begin practicing football at the age of 6 and continue until they reach 17 years old in Indonesia. The results of this study can be a reference for the PSSI and football coaches in Indonesia to create a comprehensive training program that includes physical, technical, tactical, and psychological aspects, enabling them to develop successful football players in the future.

Published: July 2024

It is essential to know the precise levels of compliance with physical activity recommendations for each population group and the determinants that condition them directly and indirectly. A cross-sectional study was designed for Spanish undergraduate education students with the following aims: 1) To analyse the influence of body mass index, Mediterranean diet, social network addiction, emotional intelligence and sitting time as predictors of compliance with physical activity recommendations; 2) To design an explanatory model to establish the relationships between body mass index, Mediterranean diet, addiction to social networks, emotional intelligence and sitting time of students who comply with physical activity recommendations. The binary logistic regression model designed had good fit (X2=4.15, p=0.04; R2 = 0.126; Hosmer-Leneshow p> 0.05). The structural equation model designed had good fit (CFI= 0.970, NFI=0.906, IFI= 0.971, TLI = 0.960, and RMSEA0.039). It can be concluded that the regression model predicts 12.6% of compliance with physical activity recommendations. Likewise, in the regression and structural equation models, time spent in moderate-vigorous physical activity is positively related to body mass index and adherence to the Mediterranean diet.

Es fundamental conocer los niveles precisos de cumplimiento de las recomendaciones de práctica de actividad física de cada grupo poblacional y los determinantes que los condicionan directa e indirectamente. Se diseñó un estudio transversal para estudiantes españoles de los Grados de Educación con los siguientes objetivos: 1) Analizar la influencia del índice de masa corporal, la dieta mediterránea, la adicción a redes sociales, la inteligencia emocional y tiempo sentado como predictores del cumplimiento de las recomendaciones de práctica de actividad física; 2) Diseñar un modelo explicativo para establecer las relaciones entre el índice de masa corporal, la dieta mediterránea, la adicción a redes sociales, la inteligencia emocional y tiempo sentado de los estudiantes que cumplen las recomendaciones de práctica de actividad física. El modelo de regresión logística binaria diseñado tuvo buena bondad de ajuste (X2=4.15, p=0.04; R2 = 0.126; Hosmer-Leneshow p> 0.05). El modelo de ecuaciones estructurales tuvo buena bondad de ajuste (CFI= 0.970, NFI=0.906, IFI= 0.971, TLI = 0.960, and RMSEA0.039). Se puede concluir que el modelo de regresión predice el 12.6% del cumplimiento de las recomendaciones de actividad física. Asimismo, en los modelos de regresión y de ecuaciones estructurales, el tiempo de actividad física moderada-vigorosa tiene relación positiva con el índice de masa corporal y la adherencia a la dieta mediterránea.

After the Chartrand definition of graph labeling, since 1988 many graph families have been labeled through mathematical techniques. A basic approach in those labelings was to find a pattern among the labels and then prove them using sequences and series formulae. In 2018, Asim applied computer-based algorithms to overcome this limitation and label such families where mathematical solutions were either not available or the solution was not optimum. Asim et al. in 2018 introduced the algorithmic solution in the area of edge irregular labeling for computing a better upper-bound of the complete graph \(es(K_n)\) and a tight upper-bound for the complete \(m\)-ary tree \({es(T}_{m,h})\) using computer-based experiments. Later on, more problems like complete bipartite and circulant graphs were solved using the same technique. Algorithmic solutions opened a new horizon for researchers to customize these algorithms for other types of labeling and for more complex graphs. In this article, to compute edge irregular \(k\)-labeling of star \(S_{m,n}\) and banana tree \({BT}_{m,n}\), new algorithms are designed, and results are obtained by executing them on computers. To validate the results of computer-based experiments with mathematical theorems, inductive reasoning is adopted. Tabulated results are analyzed using the law of double inequality and it is concluded that both families of trees observe the property of edge irregularity strength and are tight for \(\left\lceil \frac{|V|}{2} \right\rceil\)-labeling.

Let \(G\) be a finite simple undirected \((p, q)\)-graph, with vertex set \(V(G)\) and edge set \(E(G)\) such that \(p = |V(G)|\) and \(q = |E(G)|\). A super edge-magic total labeling \(f\) of \(G\) is a bijection \(f \colon V(G) \cup E(G) \longrightarrow \{1, 2, \dots, p+q\}\) such that for all edges \(uv \in E(G)\), \(f(u) + f(v) + f(uv) = c(f)\), where \(c(f)\) is called a magic constant, and \(f(V(G)) = \{1, \dots, p\}\). The minimum of all \(c(f)\), where the minimum is taken over all the super edge-magic total labelings \(f\) of \(G\), is defined to be the super edge-magic total strength of the graph \(G\). In this article, we work on certain classes of unicyclic graphs and provide evidence to conjecture that the super edge-magic total strength of a certain family of unicyclic \((p, q)\)-graphs is equal to \(2q + \frac{n+3}{2}\).

We study groups generated by sets of pattern avoiding permutations. In the first part of the paper, we prove some general results concerning the structure of such groups. In particular, we consider the sequence ( G n ) n ≥ 0 , where G n is the group generated by a subset of the symmetric group S n consisting of permutations that avoid a given set of patterns. We analyze under which conditions the sequence ( G n ) n ≥ 0 is eventually constant. Moreover, we find a set of patterns such that ( G n ) n ≥ 0 is eventually equal to an assigned symmetric group. Furthermore, we show that any non-trivial simple group cannot be obtained in this way and describe all the non-trivial abelian groups that arise in this way. In the second part of the paper, we carry out a case-by-case analysis of groups generated by permutations avoiding a few short patterns.

Coded caching technology can better alleviate network traffic congestion. Since many of the centralized coded caching schemes now in use have high subpacketization, which makes scheme implementation more challenging, coded caching schemes with low subpacketization offer a wider range of practical applications. It has been demonstrated that the coded caching scheme can be achieved by creating a combinatorial structure named placement delivery array (PDA). In this work, we employ vector space over a finite field to obtain a class of PDA, calculate its parameters, and consequently achieve a coded caching scheme with low subpacketization. Subsequently, we acquire a new MN scheme and compare it with the new scheme developed in this study. The subpacketization \(F\) of the new scheme has significant advantages. Lastly, the number of users \(K\), cache fraction \(\frac{M}{N}\), and subpacketization \(F\) have advantages to some extent at the expense of partial transmission rate \(R\) when compared to the coded caching scheme in other articles.

Given a connected simple undirected graph G = ( V , E ) , a subset S of V is P 3 -convex if each vertex of G not in S has at most one neighbor in S . The P 3 -convex hull ⟨ S ⟩ of S is the smallest P 3 -convex set containing S . A Carathéodory set of G is a set S ⊆ V such that ⟨ S ⟩ ∖ ⋃ w ∈ S ⟨ S ∖ { w } ⟩ is non-empty. The Carathéodory number of G , denoted by C ( G ) , is the largest cardinality of a Carathéodory set of G . In this paper, we settle the conjecture posed by Barbosa et al. appeared in [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 26 (2012) 929–939] in the affirmative, which states that for a claw-free graph G of order n ( G ) , the Carathéodory number C ( G ) of the P 3 -convexity satisfies C ( G ) ≤ 2 n ( G ) + 6 5 . Furthermore, we determine all graphs attaining the bound.

In this paper, the sensor is applied to the collection of rock parameter data. Aiming at the classification and evaluation of stability (i.e. rock quality), an attribute recognition model for the classification and evaluation of surrounding rock quality of underground engineering is established. Using multi-source data fusion and orthogonal numerical simulation test methods, the effects of rock mechanics parameters on the horizontal convergence of the tunnel, the settlement of the vault and the plastic zone coefficient are studied. Six factors (elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, internal friction angle, tensile strength, cohesion and density) and three levels of orthogonal experimental solutions were selected. The method of defining similar weight by using similar number to determine the weight of evaluation index, so as to calculate the comprehensive attribute measure, and apply confidence criteria to identify the stability of rock samples. Through the analysis and evaluation of rock mass quality classification of underground engineering, the application of the model and the evaluation method of rock mass quality classification are explained. The test results match the orthogonal test results; Considering the stability of tunnel envelope, the horizontal convergence, vault settlement and plastic zone coefficient after excavation should be comprehensively considered.

In recent years, there is a lot of interest in the topic of conveying the groups of planar graphs with an unvarying metric dimension. A few types of planar graphs have recently had their locating number (or metric dimension) determined, and an outstanding problem concerning these graphs was brought up that: Illustrate the types of planar graphs Υ that can be generated from a graph Φ through the addition of more edges to Φ , such that d i m ( Φ ) = d i m ( Υ ) and V ( Φ ) = V ( Υ ) . While proceeding in a similar directives, we identify two families of radially identical planar graphs with unaltered metric dimension in this study: ϝ n , m and ℷ n , m . We do this by establishing that d i m ( ϝ n , m ) = d i m ( ℷ n , m ) and V ( ϝ n , m ) = V ( ℷ n , m ) , respectively. We acquire another family of a radially symmetrical plane graph (i.e., ℸ n , m ) with a constant metric dimension. We show that all the vertices of these classes of the plane graphs can potentially be identified with just three well-chosen nodes.

In this paper, we study the submodular hitting set problem (SHSP), which is a variant of the hitting set problem. In the SHSP, we are given a supergraph H = ( V , C ) and a nonnegative submodular function on the set 2 V . The objective is to determine a vertex subset to cover all hyperedges such that the cost of submodular covering is minimized. Our main work is to present a rounding algorithm and a primal-dual algorithm respectively for the SHSP and prove that they both have the approximation ratio k , where k is the maximum number of vertices in all hyperedges.

With the increasing scale of college enrollment and the increasing complexity of college teaching management, college finance department should innovate the traditional financial management mode while adapting to the reform of teaching management, and make use of the openness and real-time characteristics of Internet to improve the quality of college financial management and reduce the risk of college financial management. To this end, this paper designs a university financial system based on multi-scale deep learning. In the hardware design, the system adds multiple sensors and scans all the information in the financial database using a coordinator. In the software design, the weights that can connect the financial information of the same attribute are set by establishing a database form; according to the multilayer perceptual network topology, a full interconnection model based on multi-scale deep learning is designed to realize the system’s deep extraction of data. The experimental results show that the financial risk is based on the risk warning capability for university finance, and compared with the system under the traditional design, the university finance system designed in this time has the most categories of financial information parameters extracted.

The total labeling of a graph G = ( V , E ) is a bijection from the union of the vertex set and the edge set of G to the set { 1 , 2 , … , | V ( G ) | + | E ( G ) | } . The edge-weight of an edge under a total labeling is the sum of the label of the edge and the labels of the end vertices of that edge. The vertex-weight of a vertex under a total labeling is the sum of the label of the vertex and the labels of all the edges incident with that vertex. A total labeling is called edge-magic or vertex-magic when all the edge-weights or all the vertex-weights are the same, respectively. When all the edge-weights or all the vertex-weights are different then a total labeling is called edge-antimagic or vertex-antimagic total, respectively. In this paper we deal with the problem of finding a~total labeling of some classes of graphs that is simultaneously vertex-magic and edge-antimagic or simultaneously vertex-antimagic and edge-magic, respectively. We show several results for stars, paths and cycles.

A graph G is asymmetric if its automorphism group is trivial. Asymmetric graphs were introduced by Erd\H{o}s and R\'{e}nyi Erdos [1]. They suggested the problem of starting with an asymmetric graph and removing some number, r , of edges and/or adding some number, s , of edges so that the resulting graph is non-asymmetric. Erd\H{o}s and R\'{e}nyi defined the degree of asymmetry of a graph to be the minimum value of r + s . In this paper, we consider another property that measures how close a given non-asymmetric graph is to being asymmetric. Brewer et al. defined the asymmetric index of a graph G , denoted a i ( G ) , as the minimum of r + s so that the resulting graph G is asymmetric [2]. It is noted that a i ( G ) is only defined for graphs with at least six vertices. We investigate the asymmetric index of both connected and disconnected graphs including paths, cycles, and grids, with the addition of up to two isolated vertices. Furthermore, for a graph in these families G , we determine the number of labeled asymmetric graphs that can be obtained by adding or removing a i ( G ) edges. This leads to the related question: Given a graph G where a i ( G ) = 1 , what is the probability that for a randomly chosen edge e , that G – e will be asymmetric? A graph is called minimally non-asymmetric if this probability is 1 . We give a construction of infinite families of minimally non-asymmetric graphs.

A ( 0 , 1 ) -labeling of a set is said to be friendly if the number of elements of the set labeled 0 and the number labeled 1 differ by at most 1. Let g be a labeling of the edge set of a graph that is induced by a labeling f of the vertex set. If both g and f are friendly then g is said to be a cordial labeling of the graph. We extend this concept to directed graphs and investigate the cordiality of directed graphs. We show that all directed paths and all directed cycles are cordial. We also discuss the cordiality of oriented trees and other digraphs.

Russia’s Central Asian Security Policy in the Putin Era: Tools for Intervention and Control “We do not want a second Afghanistan in Central Asia. Therefore, we will follow a very careful policy.” Vladimir Putin
Authors: Musayev Etibar ,   Turkish Police Academy and UMCS in Lublin, Poland
Published: July 2024

Central Asia has been a strategically important region that Russia has dominated or always wanted to dominate throughout history. Therefore, we can see this in the Soviet Union period or in Russia’s policies after the 1990s. Especially after 2000, with Vladimir Putin becoming the President of Russia, policies on this region gained vitality in every field. One of the most important of these dimensions is the military dimension. In this context, we can cite the Collective Security Treaty Organization and Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which was formed with the participation of other states related to the region within the scope of developing relations with Russia, Central Asia, and which it is trying to be effective. On the other hand, we can see that Russia is trying to extend the terms of use of the military bases left from the Soviet Union in the region and to establish new military bases. Therefore, we can evaluate all these approaches of Russia within the scope of its unwillingness to lose its influence and power in the region and its unwillingness to allow ‘foreign’ forces to intervene in the region.
The Ukrainisation of society and culture in contemporary Ukraine
Authors: Nowak Paweł ,   University of Warsaw, Poland
Published: July 2024

As the Russian-Ukrainian conflict unfolded, Ukrainians began to perceive language as a political matter. The successive actions of the Russian Federation, such as the annexation of Crimea, the war in the Donbas region, and full-scale aggression in 2022, further solidified the Ukrainian language as a unifying force against the aggressor, while the Russian language became increasingly associated with the enemy and occupier. This shift in perception has fueled public support for the Ukrainisation of public life, resulting in measures such as increased quotas for Ukrainian programs on television, promotion of Ukrainian music on the radio, Ukrainisation of education, and mandatory use of the Ukrainian language by government officials and service providers. The ongoing war and collective efforts of Ukrainian society have solidified a distinct Ukrainian identity separate from Russian identity, with the Ukrainian language firmly established as their mother tongue.
Russia`s war on Ukraine: from ontological insecurity to postmodern neo-totalitarianism1
Authors: Polegkyi Oleksii ,   Institute of Political Studies, Polish Academy of Science
Published: July 2024

This paper explores in the multifaceted reasons behind Russia’s offensive against Ukraine in 2022, going beyond conventional explanations of geopolitical struggle and the Putin regime’s fear of democratization. This essay primarily explores the less-explored notion that war is an intrinsic component of Vladimir Putin’s project for Russia. This paper argues that the war in Ukraine served not only as a strategic maneuver to gain domestic support and bolster Putin’s regime but also as a vehicle for advancing Putin’s imperial vision. To understand why Kremlin act as it acts, we need to examine the ideological foundations that have been instrumental in shaping Russian society’s perception of Ukraine. Furthermore, we explore here how the war in Ukraine has expedited significant societal changes in Russia, potentially paving the way for the regime’s collapse and the restructuring of the Russian state.

Teaching a language begins with teaching listening, then speaking, then reading, then writing. Language teachers must pay attention to these skills, but many teachers do not know the importance of educational methods in the teaching and learning process. There are also those who use methods that are not appropriate to the students' conditions and the requirements of academic subjects. The problem in this research is the lack of good and interesting methods used by Arabic language teachers, so that students feel bored and bored in learning Arabic. The hypothesis of this research is that the results of students in teaching listening skills after using stories are greater than the results of students in teaching listening skills before using stories. This research uses an experimental method, where the researcher chose to design pre and post tests for the experimental and control groups. The population of this study were students in semester VIII-2 of the Babussalam Tambar Jogoroto School, and the sample in this study was 33 students, consisting of 16 students in the experimental group and 17 students in the control group. Among the most important results obtained from this research are the following: (1) The results of students in listening in the experimental group were very good, because they reached an average score of 82, and (2) The results of students in listening in the control group were good, because achieved an average score of 72, and (3) The extent to which the effectiveness of using stories in teaching Arabic to develop listening skills reached a score of T (3.00). compared to the T score in the table at the 5% level (2.04) and the T score in the table at the 1% level (2.75). This shows that the use of stories in teaching Arabic to develop listening skills is effective.

At the momentarily, most of the global economic losses resulting from catastrophes are brought about by aerial floods which are expected to intensify due to climate change. Accordingly, sea level rise brought on by climate change will make coastal flooding more likely in many areas. cyclone, however, is also significantly impacted by climate change. Whilst urban flood mitigation and management are becoming more widely acknowledged as worldwide concerns. Moreover, considering catalysts for seeking methodologies for treating these natural disasters.  In the era of contemporary technology, leveraging cutting-edge technologies are being utilized extensively to both monitor and reconnoiter flood-affected regions and evacuate individuals and others as crops, livestock and so on from flooded areas. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are widely used to solve drought and flood problems through capturing thermal and multispectral images for the regions which suffer from these issues. Moreover, the recommendation for optimal UAV from alternatives of UAVs is a thorny inevitably. Thus, this study is embracing this notion and attempts to treat this issue through constructing soft recommender model for recommending the optimal UAV. The evaluation of these alternatives of UAVs are conducted based on set of influenced criteria and sub-criteria. Thus, the first step toward evaluation ptocess is modeling these criteria and sub criteria into form of tree model through utilizing Tree Soft Model (TrSM). After that, the methods of Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) as MEthod based on Removal Effects of Criteria (MEREC) is utilized for estimating criteria’s weights. Then, the generalized weights are utilized in a combined compromise solution (CoCoSo) for ranking the candidates of UAVs and recommending the optimal UAV. These techniques are united with the uncertain theory of neutrosophic for treating with incomplete information.

The most significant threat to both human and planetary health is climate change, which is caused by changes in the weather and air quality on Earth because of human activities. The climate is changing on a global scale, which has effects on a variety of domains, notably transportation, agriculture, livestock and so on. The variability of climate threatens sustainability and its pillars for any nation. Evidence of that, regarding 68.5 million people were affected, and $131.7 billion in economic losses were incurred; storms, hunger, wildfires, and droughts contributed for almost 93% of these costs. Globally, the many effects of climate change have sparked research efforts to achieve sustainable development (SD). From a scientific standpoint, the concepts of “adaption” and “mitigation” have been embraced to treat obstacles of climate. Hence, the notion of information communication and technology (ICT) is embracing to mitigate and adapt climate variability. Accordingly, the evaluation and ranking alternatives of ICT where this is objective of our study. Herein, mutli-mriteria mecision making (MCDM) techniques are the primary factor in this study. As opinion weight criteria method (OWCM) utilized for analyzing ICT’s criteria and sub-criteria and obtaining its weights. Whilst these weights have been utilized in multi-attributive ideal-real comparative analysis (MAIRAC) to rank alternatives of ICT. Whilst Tree Soft Sets is leveraging for modeling ICT’S criteria and its sub-criteria. Essentially, these techniques have the ability to apply in uncertainty environment and incomplete information through supporting neutrosophic theory, which characterized with uncertainty theory especially, single value neutrosophic sets (SVNs) to construct soft decision maker (SDM) framework. Ultimately, the constructed SDM is applied in a real-world case study. The findings of SDM framework indicated that alternative1 (ALT1) is the optimal conversely (ALT2) is the worst alternative.

This study proposes a decision-making model for ranking strategies to eliminate climate change in construction. The triangular fuzzy set deals with uncertain information in the ranking process. Various criteria are used in this study, so the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodology is used to deal with these criteria. The TOPSIS method is an MCDM methodology used to rank the alternatives. The TOPSIS method is integrated with triangular fuzzy numbers. The criteria weights are computed by using the average method. The application is applied with 12 criteria and 8 options. The results show that alternative 7 is the best and alternative 3 is the worst. The results are tested with sensitivity analysis to show their stability. The sensitivity analysis was conducted with 13 cases of changing the criteria weights. Then, the TOPSIS method is applied under 13 cases in criteria weights. The results show that the ranking is stable in different cases.

This paper suggested a decision-making model for evaluating and raking the ecological and water resources under climate change. The environmental and water resources have different criteria, so multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) is used to deal with conflict criteria. The MCDM methodology integrated with the fuzzy sets to deal with uncertainty and vague information. The weights of the requirements are computed by the average method. The VIKOR method is used to rank the alternatives. This study used 11 criteria and 10 alternatives. The results show that alternative 10 is the best and alternative 2 is the worst. The sensitivity analysis was conducted in two parts; in the first part, the criteria weights are changed into 12 cases, and then the rank of alternatives is computed to show the stability of the results. The value of v in the VIKOR method is changed in the second part, and then the rank of alternatives is computed. The results show that the rank of other options is stable in different cases.

Ao ver a imagem de Carolina Maria de Jesus (1914-1977) ao lado de Clarice Lispector (1920-1977), na foto do acervo de Paulo Gurgel, autoras tão diferentes, pensou-se em fazer um estudo comparado entre textos poucos estudados de escritoras brasileiras. Na hipótese de que essa articulação, entre autoras diferentes socioculturalmente, poderia revelar vozes silenciadas que autorrepresentam ou representam diversas mulheres. Para tanto, serão analisados textos autobiográficos dessas duas autoras: Meu estranho diário e Aprendendo a viver.
