Vine shoot-derived hard carbons as promising anodes for sodium-ion batteries: valorization of pig manure as HTC solvent
Authors: Alvira Dobón Darío , Antorán Daniel , Sebastian Victor , Manyà Joan J.
Published: July 2023

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are one of the most promising candidates to replace lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in grid-scale energy storage applications. The design of high-performance anodes and the fully understanding of the sodium storage mechanisms are the main bottleneck to overcome. Herein, a vine shoot-based hard carbon anode was synthesized via hydrothermal carbonization followed by a pyrolysis step (800 to 1200 °C). In addition to water, pig manure and diluted hydrochloric acid were tested as reaction media.
Comparing levels of geitonogamous visitation by honey bees and other pollinators
Authors: Travis Dillon , Kohn Joshua
Published: July 2023

Geitonogamy, the transfer of pollen from one flower to another on the same plant, is often the primary means of self-pollination in flowering plants. For self-compatible plants, self-fertilization may lead to greatly reduced offspring fitness via inbreeding depression. For self-incompatible plants, geitonogamous pollen transfer can result in low seed set, even when stigmatic pollen loads are substantial. For multiple self-compatible, native California plants, we found that honey bees visited more flowers per plant than native insects, and that offspring resulting from pollination by honey bees had reduced fitness relative to those resulting from native insect pollination. Here we investigate whether honey bees generally make more geitonogamous visits than other pollinators using data from a global survey of 41 manuscripts that reported floral visitation data. Compared to the average of all non-honey bee visitors in a plants pollinator assemblage, honey bees visit significantly more flowers per plant, though they do not differ from the non-honey bee visitor with the highest rate of geitonogamous visitation. However, the disparity between rates of geitonogamous visitation by honey bees and non-honey bee visitors is a function of the frequency of honey bees relative to non-honey bee visitors. As honey bees become increasingly numerically dominant, there is a trend for their rates of geitonogamous visitation to increase, accompanied by a significant decline in flowers visited per plant by non-honey bee visitors. While we found that honey bees visited more flowers per plant compared to the average of other visitors, large or eusocial pollinators were as likely as honey bees to be the most geitonogamous visitor.

Authors:   University of Pitesti, SICOE Gina Mihaela
Published: July 2023

The aim of this paper is to analyze and resolve the non-conformities identified by the internal quality control for the studied product, "Insert the front door side panel". The paper presents the way to identify the causes of non-conformities in the manufacturing flow, by analyzing the way of carrying out the activities and the reference documents within the workstations where the non-compliant products were manufactured. Because the problem was identified in time, nonconforming parts were not delivered to the customer, thus avoiding a complaint from him. An internal QRCI was opened to solve the problem. If the nonconforming parts were delivered to the customer and the customer filed a complaint with the supplier, a thorough 8D analysis was required.

State-level Location Determinants of Japanese Automotive FDI in Mexico
Authors: Guzmán-Anaya Leo , Lugo-Sánchez María Guadalupe
Published: July 2023

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) location theories highlight the regional factors that influence the location and spatial distribution of the investment project. The study employs a state-level spatial panel econometric model to empirically contrast the main location factors that influence the spatial distribution of Japanese companies. The main results indicate that state characteristics related to the presence of infrastructure, lower wages, agglomeration, and development of the automotive industry influence the presence of Japanese automotive firms in Mexico. The results also highlight the presence of negative spatial externalities for the wages, population, industry agglomeration, and education variables. This shows that neighboring states compete for the arrival of Japanese automotive firms and spatial effects are present. Positive spatial externalities were observed from the market size variable, which can reflect the presence of production networks in the automotive industry, especially for the case of Japanese firms.
„Andere Länder, andere Sitten“
Authors: Rikfanto Aditya
Published: July 2023

Apart from their status as a cultural heritage that remains relevant at all times, some German proverbs also have comparable messages to Indonesian proverbs. Therefore, this study aims to compare some German and Indonesian proverbs in terms of pragmatics and semantics with the thematic delineation of customs and cultural norms. Baseline data for this study comes from the online corpus of the OWID Leibniz Institute and a concise German-Indonesian proverb dictionary. In addition, this research also applies the Google Scholar search function to determine how often proverbial texts appear in scientific literature. The results show that German proverbs referring to customs frequently appear in various academic contexts: „Andere Länder, andere Sitten“ (Other countries, other customs). This proverb is also comparable to an Indonesian proverb with the same theme. However, the semantic and pragmatic features of each proverb appeared differently. The German proverb tends to present the denotative statement without metaphorical abstraction, but it appears elliptical. The Indonesian proverb "Di mana Bumi dipijak, di situ langit dijunjung" (Where the Earth is trodden, there the sky is upheld) is somewhat metaphorical. At the same time, the elliptical structure does not appear.
A Contextual-Ethnographic Study of Nzema Proverbs Related to Some ‘Medical Conditions’
Authors: Yakub Mohammed
Published: July 2023

Proverbs are terse but ‘condensed’ expressions which contain moral lessons. In every culture, proverbs form part of the nuggets of popular wisdom, expressed in the form of wise sayings (Maledo 2015). Among the Nzema of Ghana, proverbs permeate almost all communicative encounters. They are ‘injected’ into discourses to motivate people to behave well, and to repudiate vices in the society. This paper discusses the didactics and communicative values of Nzema proverbs related to health conditions (and impairments) such as blindness, deafness, leprosy, hunchback, goitre, hernia, rickets and migraine. Using primary data recorded during arbitration proceedings among the Nzema, the paper examines the advisory role of the proverbs. The findings demonstrate that many virtues are concealed in Nzema proverbs that incorporate certain medical conditions, which paradoxically are not about the mere experiences of such conditions; rather, the deeper meanings highlight the essence of hospitality, contentment, patience, hard-work, and genuine love among others. The paper has also shown that the Nzema employ such proverbs in appropriate discourse contexts to rebuke deviants, and to redirect the paths of members of the society. It is argued that the advisory messages entrenched in this category of proverbs largely promote ethical standards and help maintain social equilibrium and solidarity. The paper engages Hymes’ Ethnography of Communication model in the data analysis.

Rancang Bangun Alat Viskositas Zat Cair Menggunakan Sensor Inframerah Sebagai Detektor Waktu Pada Praktikum Viskositas Zat Cair Matakuliah Fisika Dasar
Authors: Habiburrohman Agus Wahid , Fauzi Fauzi
Published: July 2023

Abstract—Physics practicum is needed in understanding the concept of learning, one of which is the law to determine the viscosity value of a liquid. One method that is often used in determining the viscosity coefficient is the falling ball method, however, there is a weakness in this method, namely the drop time is very fast so it is difficult to get the exact and accurate time so that the calculation of the viscosity coefficient value is not accurate. Therefore a detection device is needed so that it can get a more precise and accurate time value. This study aims to determine the viscosity coefficient of cooking oil at room temperature with an infrared sensor as a time detector so that it is expected to obtain a precise and accurate time and to produce a more accurate calculation of the viscosity coefficient. The purpose of this research is to make a viscosity tool that has good data accuracy and can be used in physics practicum.

A estimulação direta do sistema de condução foi idealizada na década de 70, porém, o procedimento só se tornou factível e reprodutível com o desenvolvimento de ferra-mentas específicas. A qualidade da estimulação obtida depende de fatores como: nível anatômico do sistema His-Purkinje alcançado; captura muscular concomitante ou não e resposta eletrocardiográfica obtida. A estimulação do sistema de condução envolve a captura do feixe de His ou do ramo esquerdo e seus fascículos, podendo ser seletiva (S) ou não seletiva (NS), na dependência de ausência ou presença, respectivamente, de captura simultânea do miocárdio ventricular adjacente. Diante das atuais evidências, a estimulação direta do sistema de condução pode ser considerada uma alternativa aos pacientes com bradicardia e indicação para implante de marcapasso, evitando-se os efeitos indesejáveis do dissincronismo ventricular causado pela estimulação tradicional de ventrículo direito (VD) como, também, uma alternativa à estimulação biventricular para terapia de ressincronização cardíaca (TRC). Apesar de promover ativação ventricular fisiológica, a estimulação do feixe de His apresenta algumas limitações anatômicas e funcionais além da incapacidade de corrigir a doença distal do sistema de condução, enquanto a estimulação do ramo esquerdo fornece limiares mais baixos e estáveis, além de corrigir as doenças de condução, sendo capaz de promover sincronismo intraventricular equivalente à estimulação direta do feixe de His e, por esses motivos, sua aplicação vem se ampliando largamente. Embora os dados ainda sejam limitados e grandes estudos prospectivos para avaliação de segurança e eficácia a longo prazo sejam necessários, os resultados são favoráveis à essa modalidade de estimulação.
SÍNCOPE: O QUE O CLÍNICO PRECISA SABER EM 2023
Authors:   Universidade Federal de São Paulo- UNIFESP, Dumas Cintra Fátima
Published: July 2023

A síncope é um sintoma comum na prática clínica, correspondendo a aproximadamente 1 a 3% das admissões em sala de emergência e 6% das admissões hospitalares são secun-dárias a síncope. Prevalência estimada de 19% com discreta predileção pelo sexo feminino. Apesar de um curso benigno na maioria das vezes, a síncope exige atenção em grupos selecionados de pacientes. A taxa de mortalidade é variável e está diretamente relacionada à causa subjacente, sendo observados os piores desfechos em pacientes com mais de 60 anos e síncope secundária à doença cardíaca. Dessa forma, diante de um paciente com síncope, é fundamental a estratificação do risco com o objetivo de se afastar gravidade. Além disso, a síncope é associada a alta morbidade, uso excessivo de serviços de saúde e alto custo. Pode impactar negativamente múltiplos domínios da qualidade de vida, incluindo saúde física, mental e funcionalidade, o que potencialmente pode tornar a qualidade de vida de portadores de síncope recorrente tão comprometida quanto pacientes com doenças crônicas. A investigação diagnóstica visa estratificar o risco e definir o provável mecanismo subjacente. A história clínica detalhada, exame físico e eletrocardiograma de 12 derivações são mandatórios para todos os pacientes que se apresentam quadro de síncope com o objetivo de afastar causas cardíacas. Após essa avaliação inicial, o racional de investigação deve seguir a hipótese diagnóstica principal e as diretrizes preconizadas para cada suspeita clínica. O objetivo principal do tratamento é a diminuição da recorrência e a prevenção de eventos cardiovasculares nos pacientes onde foi documentada alguma causa potencialmente grave

Понад 25 % випадків звернень власників дрібних тварин до фахівців ветеринарної медицини пов’язані з патологією шкіри, викликаною дерматофітами. Особливу небезпеку становлять тварини хворі на дерматомікози з субклінічною формою перебігу, оскільки у разі ускладнення патологічного процесу, вони можуть бути небезпечними для здоров’я людини. До найбільш розповсюджених збудників, що провокують розвиток дерматитів серед дрібних тварин, особливе місце займають патогенні гриби роду Trichophyton та Microsporum. У ветеринарній практиці все частіше фіксують мікози, викликані представником сапрофітної флори класу Deuteromycetes, роду Alternaria Nees – Alternaria alternata (tenuis). Дослідження проведені з 2019 по 2022 рока на базі Державного науково-дослідного інституту з лабораторної діагностики та ветеринарно-санітарної експертизи. Предметом дослідження був біологічний матеріал від собак і котів, уражений мікроорганізмами родів Microsporum, Trichophyton та Alternaria alternata. Під час виділення та ідентифікації дерматоміцетів використовували середовище Сабуро та Основа агару для дерматофітів з селективною добавкою. Облік результатів та ідентифікації збудника здійснювали на основі опису морфології росту колоній з визначальниками мікроміцетів. На основі проведених досліджень 614 зразків біологічного матеріалу було виявлено 272 (44,3 %) лабораторно підтверджених випадки дерматомікозів, з них 139 (22,6 %) у собак та 133 (21,7 %) у котів від загальної кількості досліджуваного матеріалу відповідно. За вказаний період було зафіксовано 174 випадки ураження тварин, мікроскопічними грибами роду Alternaria alternata, що становить 28,3 % від загальної кількості досліджуваного матеріалу, 31 випадок ураження мікроскопічними грибами роду Trichophyton, що становить 5,1 %, та 67 випадків роду Microsporum (10,9 %) відповідно. Культуральний метод досліджень дозволяє чітко ідентифікувати збудники дерматомікозів, однак передбачає досить тривалий 10-денний термін дослідження.
ORNAMENTED TOOLS FROM ORGANIC MATERIALS OF THE MESOLITHIC - NEOLITHIC TIMES FROM THE DESNA BASIN REGION

Published: July 2023

The most earliest cases of using the long bones of ungulates as tools are known from the Middle Paleolithic. In the Upper Paleolithic time, the manufacture of tools from the long bones of ungulates, as well as the ornamentation of some of them, is often represented in the sites of Europe. The territory of the Desna basin, during the time of the Final Paleolithic – Neolithic, was involved in the same cultural and historical processes that took place in the northern part of Europe. But, for today, unlike many northern regions of Europe, in the territory of the Desna basin, items made of bone or horn are known only from Neolithic points. Ornamented tools are represented only by single samples. The purpose of this work is to соnsider ornamented tools made of organic materials found in the Desna basin and to publish a previously unknown sample of such tools found on the outskirts of Chernihiv, on Telyachiy island. The find from Telyachiy island is a fragment of a tool made from a long bone of a deer (Cervidae gen. etsp.). The the lack of a radiocarbon date makes it impossible to clarify its accurate dating. Based on the spread of columns of parallel strokes of ornament in the Mesolithic period and its continued existence in the Neolithic period, as well as the presence of finds of fragments of Neolithic ceramics on Telyachyi island, the found fragment of the tool, today, should be dated to the Mesolithic – Neolithic period. Thus, for the Early Holocene periods of the territory of the Desna basin, items made of organic materials are represented only by the Neolithic period. Among them, ornamented tools are rare specimens. Only for a fragment of a tool made of a long bone of a deer found on Telyachyi island, it can be assumed that it dates back to the Mesolithic. Given the meager amount of ornamented items made from organic materials from the territory of the Desna basin, this find is certainly an important source for understanding the ornamental traditions of decorating tools and the aesthetic preferences of the ancient population of the Desna basin.
Improvement of the magnetoelectric response in NiFe2O4-Sr0.5Ba0.5Nb2O6 composites using LiNbO3 as sintering additive
Authors: Köferstein Roberto
Published: July 2023

Magnetoelectric (NiFe2O4)0.3-(Sr0.5Ba0.5Nb2O6)0.7 composites with addition of LiNbO3 as sintering additivewere prepared by a classical mixed-oxide method. XRD patterns of ceramics sintered between 1000 and 1200 ◦Cshow the desired Sr0.5Ba0.5Nb2O6 and NiFe2O4 phases. SEM investigations confirm the 0–3 connectivity of thecomposite ceramics. The addition of 10 and 20 mol% LiNbO3 improves the densification of the composite ceramicsand leads to an increase of the size of the Sr0.5Ba0.5Nb2O6 grains. Magnetic measurements show hystereseswith low coercivities. Dielectric measurements were carried out depending on temperature and frequency. Thesamples with the LiNbO3 addition show significantly higher resistivity values (σDC). Magnetoelectric measurementswere carried out in dependence of the magnetic DC-field, temperature, and frequency. The maximummagnetoelectric coefficient (αME) rises with the addition of LiNbO3 from 180 to 803 μV Oe-1 cm-1 (@900 Hz).Temperature dependent measurements show a continuously decreasing of αME with lower temperature.

Neurodevelopmental conditions show considerable phenotypic variability, and high rates of co-diagnosis. 995 adults from the UK completed self-report broader phenotype measures for six neurodevelopmental conditions. We found that a single “N-factor” accounted for the most overall variance on all measures, whilst four further factors accounted for additional unique variance in traits associated with autism, ADHD, cortical hyperexcitability, and dyslexia/DCD.This N+4 factor structure suggests that broader phenotype scales measure both general “neurodiversity” plus variability in traits that are more condition specific; distinguishing these sources of variance may be helpful when exploring the wide variety of experiences and needs of people with a neurodevelopmental diagnosis.
From Pride to Lies: English-Language Print Media Coverage of Supreme Court of Canada Decisions on Women’s Defensive Violence
Authors: Gerrits Bailey , Verrelli Nadia , Chambers Lori
Published: July 2023

The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled on four cases of women’s defensive violence in the context of intimate partner violence. The Canadian news media plays a role in explaining the legal and social importance of these decisions. Its coverage can contribute to stronger social awareness of the problem and legal tools available or to the perpetuation of myths about intimate partner violence and the role of the courts. Examining local and national newspaper coverage of the four cases reveals a consistency in the amount of legal discussion and a decline in the quality of Canadian print news attention to these decisions. Implications for social awareness are discussed.

Geliştirilen matematik modelde radyatörün kanatçıklı borulardan oluştuğu kabul edilmekte ve tasarım işinin özünü kanatçıklı boruların uzunluğunun ve sayısının belirlenmesi oluşturmaktadır. Geliştirilen matematik model ve tasarım yöntemi kullanılarak 100 kW ısı transferi kapasitesi olan bir radyatörün fiziki boyutları araştırılmıştır. Düzlem kanatçıkların arasındaki en uygun mesafenin 0.85-1.05 mm aralığında ve hava akış hızının 5-10 m/s aralığında olabileceği belirlenmiştir. Bu durumda, kanatçıkların arasındaki hava akışı laminer rejimde gerçekleşmekte olup, kanatçıkların yüzeyindeki ısı taşınım katsayısı 100 W/m2K civarında olmaktadır. Kanatçıkların yapımında 0.25 mm kalınlığında alüminyum levha kullanıldığında, kanatçıkların ısıl verimi %90 ın üzerine çıkmaktadır. Motor soğutma suyunun radyatöre giriş ve radyatörden çıkış sıcaklıkları arasındaki fark 15 °C kabul edildiğinde radyatörün en uygun hacmi 25 litre olarak belirlenirken, sıcaklık farkı 10 °C yapıldığında 22.5 litre olarak belirlenmektedir. Tasarım ölçülerine göre hava fanı gücünün 1000-2000 W aralığında olabileceği belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, su devirdaim pompası gücünün 10 W ın altında kaldığı tespit edilmiştir.

Havacılıkta yüksek sıcaklık bölgelerinde kullanılan malzemeler, korozyona dirençli ve yüksek mukavemet değerlerine sahip olmalıdırlar. Sektörden temin edilen ısıl işlem görmüş Ni esaslı süperalaşımları (Hastelloy X, Inconel 718 ve Inconel 738) öncelikle metalografik olarak hazırlandıktan sonra optik mikroskopta mikroyapıları görüntülenmiştir. Daha sonra oksitlenme deneyi için uygun boyuta getirilen numunelere 600 ve 900 °C sıcaklıklarında termogravimetrik analiz (TGA) cihazı ile 48 saat havada oksitlenme işlemi uygulanmıştır. Oksitlenen numunelerin yüzeylerinde oluşan oksit tabakaları tarayıcı elektron mikroskobu (SEM/ EDS) ile görüntülenmiş ve elementel analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Arrhenius eşitliği kullanılarak difüzyon kat sayıları hesaplanmış ve oksijen difüzyon kinetiği belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın önemi bazı süperalaşımların oksitlenme kinetiklerinin ortaya çıkarılarak karşılaştırılması ve sektörün ihtiyacı olan kullanım açısından değerlendirme verilerine ulaşılmasını kolaylaştırmaktır.

Authors: Yoon Sam-Won , Son Ho-Hee
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND: Studies regarding effects of therapeutic tapings when patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) descend stairs are limited. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of McConnell taping (MT) and Kinesio taping (KT) on kinematic variables when patients with PFPS descend stairs. METHODS: Fifty PFPS patients were randomly assigned to either the MT group or the KT group. Pain and lower extremities joint angles were measured while descending stairs before and after the intervention. All outcomes measured were analyzed using either paired t tests or independent t tests to compare the difference within or between groups, respectively. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant difference in both groups in anterior knee pain scale score (p< 0.05). As a result of analysis of lower extremities joint angles at initial contact, loading response, and terminal stance, there were statistically significant within-group differences in hip, knee flexion, abduction and lateral rotation angles in both groups (p< 0.05). There were statistically significant within-group differences in hip flexion, knee flexion, and dorsiflexion angles in pre-swing (p< 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in the following events: (1) knee lateral rotation angle at initial contact; (2) hip flexion angle at loading response; (3) and hip flexion at terminal stance angle (p< 0.05). CONCLUSION: MT and KT were effective in lowering knee pain and improving lower extremities joint angle when patients with PFPS descend stairs. In the comparison between the groups, the MT group showed significantly reduced anterior knee pain and increased range of motion of the lower extremities joint compared to the KT group.

The worldwide generation of waste electrical and electronic equipment is continuously growing, with electric vehicle batteries reaching their end-of-life having become a key concern for both the environment and human health in recent years. In this context, the proliferation of Internet of Things standards and data ecosystems is advancing the feasibility of data-driven condition monitoring and remanufacturing. This is particularly desirable for the end-of-life recovery of high-value equipment towards sustainable closed-loop production systems. Low-Power Wide-Area Networks, despite being relatively recent, are starting to be conceived as key-enabling technologies built upon the principles of long-range communication and negligible energy consumption. While LoRaWAN is considered the open standard with the highest level of acceptance from both industry and academia, it is its random access protocol (Aloha) that limits its capacity in large-scale deployments to some extent. Although time-slotted scheduling has proved to alleviate certain scalability limitations, the constrained nature of end nodes and their application-oriented requirements significantly increase the complexity of time-slotted network management tasks. To shed light on this matter, a multi-agent network management system for the on-demand allocation of resources in end-of-life monitoring applications for remanufacturing is introduced in this work. It leverages LoRa’s spreading factor orthogonality and network-wide knowledge to increase the number of nodes served in time-slotted monitoring setups. The proposed system is validated and evaluated for end-of-life monitoring where two representative end-node distributions were emulated, with the achieved network capacity improvements ranging from 75.27% to 249.46% with respect to LoRaWAN’s legacy operation. As a result, the suitability of different agent-based strategies has been evaluated and a number of lessons have been drawnaccording to different application and hardware constraints. While the presented findings can be used to further improve the explainability of the proposed models (in line with the concept of eXplainable AI), the overall framework represents a step forward in lightweight end-of-life condition monitoring for remanufacturing.

Background:

Trisomy 21 causes Down syndrome (DS) and is a recognized cause of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Objective:

The current study sought to determine if premorbid intellectual disability level (ID) was associated with variability in age-trajectories of AD biomarkers and cognitive impairments. General linear mixed models compared the age-trajectory of the AD biomarkers PET Aβ and tau and cognitive decline across premorbid ID levels (mild, moderate, and severe/profound), in models controlling trisomy type, APOE status, biological sex, and site.

Methods:

Analyses involved adults with DS from the Alzheimer’s Biomarkers Consortium-Down Syndrome. Participants completed measures of memory, mental status, and visuospatial ability. Premorbid ID level was based on IQ or mental age scores prior to dementia concerns. PET was acquired using [11C] PiB for Aβ, and [18F] AV-1451 for tau.

Results:

Cognitive data was available for 361 participants with a mean age of 45.22 (SD = 9.92) and PET biomarker data was available for 154 participants. There was not a significant effect of premorbid ID level by age on cognitive outcomes. There was not a significant effect of premorbid ID by age on PET Aβ or on tau PET. There was not a significant difference in age at time of study visit of those with mild cognitive impairment-DS or dementia by premorbid ID level.

Conclusion:

Findings provide robust evidence of a similar time course in AD trajectory across premorbid ID levels, laying the groundwork for the inclusion of individuals with DS with a variety of IQ levels in clinical AD trials.

A T-spherical fuzzy set (TSFS) is an extended and logical algebraic representation to handle uncertainty, with the help of four functions describing four possible aspects of uncertain information. Aczel-Alsina triangular norm (TN) and conorm (TCN) are novel and proved to be more efficient than other existing TNs and TCNs. In our article, we establish the concept of a T-spherical fuzzy Aczel-Alsina graph (TSFAAG). We described the energy of TSFAAG along with the splitting and shadow energy of TSFAAG. Furthermore, we figured out the Randić energy of TSFAAG and obtained some useful results. Moreover, we give the notion of the Aczel-Alsina digraph (TSFAADG). To see the significance of the proposed TSFAADGs, we employed the energy and Randić energy of TSFAADGs for solving the problem of selecting the best investing company by using a decision-making algorithm. The sensitivity analysis of the variable parameters is also discussed and where the effect on ranking results is studied. To see the effectiveness of the proposed work, we did a comparative study and established some remarks.

Prioritization is usually required in problems involving multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM). Several strategies and procedures have been introduced in fuzzy systems to apply prioritization. This study examines the MAGDM problem in a Pythagorean fuzzy (PF) setting with varying amounts of demand for specialists and attributes. We regard the novel Aczel Alsina aggregation operators (AOs) as the most addition to fuzzy mathematics that can deal with uncertainties significantly. We suggest a few PF AOs based on Aczel Alsina t-norm and t-conorm, including the PF-prioritized Aczel Alsina averaging (PFPAAA) and PF-prioritized Aczel Alsina geometric (PFPAAG) operators. It is proven that these AOs fulfil the aggregation criteria by investigating the properties of monotonicity, boundedness, and idempotency. The weights for prioritization are derived from the knowledge of experts, and the proposed operators can capture the phenomenon of prioritization among the aggregated arguments. The proposed AOs are then applied to assess fire extinguishers using a MAGDM technique. The importance of PFPAAA and PFPAAG operators is verified by comparing the proposed AOs with other well-known AOs.
