Authors: Cărămidă Mariana , Dumitrache Mihaela Adina , Părlătescu Ioanina , Pîrvu Cristina , Tribuș Laura
Published: January 2022

(1) Background: Parents need an increased level of awareness regarding the role of fluoride in maintaining optimal oral health of their children. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the level of parents’ knowledge and behavior towards fluoride administration in children. (2) Methods: an online self-administered Google Forms questionnaire was used. (3) Results: 73.97% did not administer fluoride products to their children. From 16 parents who have given their child local fluoride products, 15.06% made it on the recommendation of the dentist. In total, 71.23% did not know exactly the importance of using fluoride for optimal oral health of the child. In total, 63.01% did not know the possible side effects of excess fluoride. (4) Conclusions: The dentist has an important role to educate the parents and also their children on the appropriate use of fluoride at home and in dental offices, explaining to them the benefits it brings for optimal oral health status and to motivate patients for adequate oral hygiene, proper diet and regular check-ups.
Data-driven approach for labelling process plant event data

Published: January 2022

An essential requirement in any data analysis is to have a response variable representing the aim of the analysis. Much academic work is based on laboratory or simulated data, where the experiment is controlled, and the ground truth clearly defined. This is seldom the reality for equipment performance in an industrial environment and it is common to find issues with the response variable in industry situations. We discuss this matter using a case study where the problem is to detect an asset event (failure) using data available but for which no ground truth is available from historical records. Our data frame contains measurements of 14 sensors recorded every minute from a process control system and 4 current motors on the asset of interest over a three year period. In this situation the ``how to'' label the event of interest is of fundamental importance. Different labelling strategies will generate different models with direct impact on the in-service fault detection efficacy of the resulting model. We discuss a data-driven approach to label a binary response variable (fault/anomaly detection) and compare it to a rule-based approach. Labelling of the time series was performed using dynamic time warping followed by agglomerative hierarchical clustering to group events with similar event dynamics. Both data sets have significant imbalance with 1,200,000 non-event data but only 150 events in the rule-based data set and 64 events in the data-driven data set. We study the performance of the models based on these two different labelling strategies, treating each data set independently. We describe decisions made in window-size selection, managing imbalance, hyper-parameter tuning, training and test selection, and use two models, logistic regression and random forest for event detection. We estimate useful models for both data sets. By useful, we understand that we could detect events for the first four months in the test set. However as the months progressed the performance of both models deteriorated, with an increasing number of false positives, reflecting possible changes in dynamics of the system. This work raises questions such as ``what are we detecting?'' and ``is there a right way to label?'' and presents a data driven approach to support labelling of historical events in process plant data for event detection in the absence of ground truth data.

Chinese Music Therapy and Clinical Music Education to treat Anxiety Disorders: The PLUS-Model
Authors: Mastnak Wolfgang
Published: January 2022

Anxiety disorders are broadly considered a global epidemic. In China, they rank among the most prevalent mental disorders and are seriously affecting the younger generation, hence the necessity to foster health education and sustainable resilience. Meta-synthetic construction resulted in a music-based therapeutic framework involving psycho-education, abbreviated as ‘P’, learning conditions ‘L’, underlying mechanisms ‘U’ and self-regulation ‘S’, hence the name ‘PLUS-model’. Interactive psycho-education includes information about anxiety disorders as well as interactive anxiety-management and adequate feedback about learning conditions and teaching styles, e.g. deficiency versus resource-oriented education. Relevant topics also concern underlying mechanisms such as genetic and epigenetic, as well as neurophysiological and psychological processes. In this model self-regulation comprises five domains, according to their initials the so-called ‘A-E-I-O-U-areas’, (i) Aesthetics and the healing power of beauty, (ii) Exposure training based on music-guided trance and imagination techniques, (iii) Immersion in music to enhance self-awareness and cope with obsessive-compulsive cognition, (iv) Organ-rebalancing through methods of Sound Focusing and (v) music-guided access to the unconscious alongside the exploration of one’s individual sources of anxiety. The PLUS-model is part of a comprehensive project to improve mental health in Chinese children and adolescents through arts-based methods for classroom education, which encompasses ‒ in addition to anxiety disorders ‒ attention deficit hyperactivity disorders, oppositional defiant disorders, depression and depressive traits, stress-related disorders and burnout syndromes, eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa or binge eating disorder, as well as disorders related to the COVID-19 pandemic, e.g. syndromes caused by lockdown and social distancing experiences.
Diabetic Retinopathy Detection using Transfer Learning from Pre-trained Convolutional Neural Network Models
Authors: Chilukoti Sai venkatesh , Maida Anthony S , Hei Xiali
Published: January 2022

1. We
developed a novel predictive model based on Efficient Net b3 pre-trained
Convolutional Neural Network for reliable classification of Diabetic
Retinopathy into 5 Stages, namely: 0 – No DR, 1 – Mild DR, 2 – Moderate DR, 3 –
Severe DR, 4 – Proliferate DR. These 5 stages are based on the severity of
diabetic retinopathy. Since treatment varies based on the severity of diabetic
retinopathy. So, if 5 stages are predicted appropriately then it helps doctor
to diagnose the patient based on the stage.

2. We used
three different pre-trained CNN models: VGG Net, Res Net (which are scaled by
their depth to get higher versions), and Efficient Net (which uses an efficient
compound scaling method that scales width, height, and resolution to get higher
versions). We observed Efficient Net could classify the images into more than
one class, unlike Res Net and VGG Net. The reason could be models like Res Net
and VGG Net is not capable of extracting complex features from all the stages
of diabetic retinopathy.

3. We
considered quadratic weighted kappa as the primary evaluation metric because it
considers the level of disagreement between the actual label and predicted
label, unlike accuracy, F1-score, etc. When one class is detected with high probability
and other classes aren’t detected metrics like accuracy can be higher because
they do not consider the level of disagreement whereas the quadratic weighted
kappa considers it and gives the low score or zero itself. Hence, quadratic
weighted kappa is a reliable metric for this project.

4. We
achieved a quadratic weighted kappa of 0.85 using Efficient Net b3 trained for
60 epochs on the resized version of a dataset containing digital fundus images
of retina taken from Kaggle.
Joint segmentation of aerial UAV and LiDAR images using Bayesian Non-Parametric clustering
Authors: Roy Avipsa
Published: January 2022

Recent advances in high resolution geographic data collection platforms such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have rapidly changed the way we visualize spatial information. Integrating different modalities collected by UAV can be used to indicate the state of facility operations by providing environmental context about the surroundings. However, performing image segmentation combining features from multiple sensors situated on a UAV is challenging owing to the huge volume of data, lack of co-orientation among sensors and variability in their spatial and temporal resolution. In this study, we provide a novel framework to perform image segmentation on fused LiDAR and aerial imagery data from unlabeled images using a Bayesian non-parametric clustering approach.
A Special Case of Surface Integral Equations for Homogeneous Dielectric Bodies with Accurate Infinite Series Solution
Authors: Zhang Kang
Published: January 2022

The author revisits the problem of a circular symmetric planar current embedded in a dielectric board and emphasizes a sufficient condition that a lossy board with negligible lateral faces equivalent currents, which can reduces the general surface integral equations (SIEs) over the finite-sized homogeneous dielectric board into coupled radial function integral equations that conform to be a satisfiable generalized simultaneous bounded linear operator equations on Hilbert spaces of countably infinite dimensions. The finalized infinite series solution is of guaranteed convergence and accuracy compared to the numerical solutions from the arbitrary geometry method of moments (MoM) (e.g., RWG-MoM) applied to solve the respective SIEs over thin board.
Minimization of the Worst-Case Average Energy Consumption in UAV-Assisted IoT Networks
Authors: Martínez Rosabal Osmel , López Onel Alcaraz , Pérez Dian Echevarría , Shehab Mohammad , Alves Hirley
Published: January 2022

The Internet of Things (IoT) brings connectivity to a massive number of devices that demand energy-efficient solutions to deal with limited battery capacities, uplink-dominant traffic, and channel impairments. In this work, we explore the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with configurable antennas as a flexible solution for serving low-power IoT networks. We formulate an optimization problem to set the position and antenna beamwidth of the UAV, and the transmit power of the IoT devices subject to average-Signal-to-average-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio Quality of Service (QoS) constraints. We minimize the worst-case average energy consumption of the latter, thus, targeting the fairest allocation of the energy resources. The problem is non-convex and highly non-linear; therefore, we re-formulate it as a series of three geometric programs that can be solved iteratively. Results reveal the benefits of planning the network compared to a random deployment in terms of reducing the worst-case average energy consumption. Furthermore, we show that the target average-Signal-to-average-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio is limited by the number of IoT devices, and highlight the dominant impact of the UAV hovering height when serving wider areas. Our proposed algorithm outperforms other optimization benchmarks in terms of minimizing the average energy consumption at the most energy-demanding IoT device, and convergence time.
L’architettura degli animali
Authors: Pallasmaa Juhani
Published: January 2022

Le costruzioni animali sono di solito viste come prodotti affascinanti del mondo biologico, ma umanamente privi di significato. Tuttavia, i nidi animali, i dispositivi di cattura e altre costruzioni sono così vari e ingegnosi nel loro uso di materiali, forme, principi e tecniche di costruzione, e così superbi nelle loro prestazioni funzionali, che superano le qualità delle costruzioni umane. Le costruzioni animali sono il prodotto di milioni di anni di evoluzione e adattamento, e questi processi comprendono anche una scelta estetica deliberata. Nell’attuale era di crisi ecologica possiamo sicuramente imparare modi sostenibili di costruire dagli architetti animali.
Udagawa Youan (1798-1846), Pioneer of Chemistry Studies in Japan from Western Sources and his Successors
Authors: Siderer Yona
Published: January 2022

This work presents chemistry studies of the Japanese scholar Udagawa Youan (1798-1846), specifically, his pioneering book Seimi Kaiso, introduction to Chemistry, and includes a short biography of Youan. The first aim of this work is to present Youan's contribution to Western chemistry in Japan. Youan studied many Western books and listed their authors. The new terms he invented for chemistry in Japanese influenced the development of chemistry writing and application in Japan. The seven books of Seimi Kaiso that were published during 1837-1847 and republished with annotation in Japanese in 1975 are discussed in this article.
The impact of Youan' terminology on the history chemistry writing in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is discussed.  The conditions of knowledge transfer among Japanese and Western scholars were very different. Youan had severe difficulties facing the strict attitude of the Tokugawa authorities toward studying and distributing knowledge coming from foreign countries.  The later development of Japanese chemistry language and studies is also described.

Hazelnuts are an economically important nut crop in the world. Propagation of varietal hazelnut seedlings in the traditional way is expensive and time-consuming due to the need for huge areas for parent plants for cuttings and low level of rooting. The development and implementation of the technology of in vitro clonal micropropagation of hazelnuts is promising. The use of this method contributes to the mass production of homogeneous, infection-free planting material of hazelnuts for laying plantations of parent plants. In the course of our research, we optimized the protocol of clonal micropropagation of three cultivars of hazelnuts. It was found that for the cultivation of the studied cultivars, the most balanced in mineral composition is the DKW medium supplemented with 3.5 mg/l 6-BAP, 1.0 mg/l GA and 0.3 ml/l IAA; modification of the NRM medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l GA + 1.0 mg/l NAA + 2.0 mg/l IBA effectively promotes rhizogenesis from explants; GA showed a synergistic effect together with NAA on the rooting of hazelnut microshoots, by the 4th week of cultivation, the number of shoots with roots reached 90-100%; in the conditions of a climate chamber using peat with sand substrate (50:50), the efficiency of adaptation to soil conditions was 92% for KAH-29 cultivar, 80% - for Zakataly cultivar, and 36% - for Khachmas cultivar.

Gene engineering: its positive and negative effects
Authors: Makrushina E. M. , Klitsenko O. A.
Published: January 2022

Genetic engineering methods significantly expand the possibilities of controlling plant heredity and variability. However, they will always remain only an additional, but not a substitute factor in the arsenal of the adaptive plant breeding system. The most important task is to prevent the spread of genetically modified forms of living organisms used in biotechnology into open agrosystems and natural ecosystems. The problems of the wide distribution of genetically modified organisms require theoretical understanding, the development of appropriate methods and criteria, integration with other areas of knowledge and, finally, the selection of the optimal possibilities for the distribution of the final product. New improved methods for creating GMOs can significantly reduce the possible risk associated with the arbitrary nature of the introduction of transgenes into the genome, which occurs when using the current approaches. The main theoretical and methodological provisions of transgenic selection should be considered: a) obtaining a large number of GM organisms as a starting material for selection; b) a thorough genomic, anatomical-morphological, biochemical and medico-biological analysis of GM elements from the point of view of their influence on ecology, human health and evolutionary processes; c) strict selection of individuals according to traits and properties useful to humans, with the exception of their linkage with negative - harmful and lethal determinants; d) creation of molecular regulators (gene switches) that can activate useful and inactivate built-in genes that determine the manifestation of undesirable traits. One of the main reasons constraining the intensity and effectiveness of transgenesis work is the extremely weak development of research on the identification of effective genes, the creation of gene banks, and a limited scientific base of genetic engineering, which is associated with insufficient funding, as well as the lack of strict legislation in the field of this problem.
Introduction of medicinal and aromatic plants in botanical gardens (current state, prospects, problems)
Authors: Tsitsilin A. N.
Published: January 2022

The article analyzes the state of introduction of medicinal and aromatic plants in botanical gardens, that have resources for expanding work in this area. The reasons are shown why, despite the fact that collections of these plants are available in many botanical institutions of the world and in Russia, and introduction work with them has been carried out for a long time, it is very difficult or almost impossible to introduce a new species into scientific medicine after the end of the introduction. An algorithm for performing the necessary tasks (with a description of actions during their implementation) of the introduction study of medicinal and aromatic plants is presented. The ways of their effective introduction, the earliest practical use of its results are indicated. Due to the fact that specialists of different profiles are involved in the development and production of the final product from plants (medicinal product, essential oil): biologists, chemists, agronomists, physicians, pharmacists, pharmacologists, engineers, economists, etc., then any botanical garden on its own, a new drug cannot make, and accordingly logically complete the introduction process of the medicinal and aromatic species. In this connection, it is necessary to cooperate with other research, medical institutions and industrial companies.

Authors: Wira Natanagara I Gede Catur , Indonesiani Suyasning Hastiko
Published: January 2022

Work as a transport worker or "manufacturer" is one of the jobs at risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Complaints are caused by various factors such as age, years of service, workload, and hauling distance. This study aims to determine the effect of age, years of service, weight of load, and distance of transport with musculoskeletal complaints. The research location was carried out in Badung-Kumbasari Market, Denpasar City with a cross sectional method.  The design used in this study is a cross sectional study. Data collection was carried out from September-December 2016The sample of this study was taken consecutively with 32 women as respondents. Musculoskeletal complaints were measured using a Nordic Body Maps questionnaire with a Likert scale and the factors to be studied were using questionnaires and tools that had been prepared. Data analysis used the Pearson correlation test. From the results of the study, it was found that there was a relationship between age and musculoskeletal complaints (r*=0.625; p<0.001), the relationship between years of service and musculoskeletal complaints (r*=0.683; p<0.001), the relationship between the weight of the load and musculoskeletal complaints (r*= 0.731; p<0.001) and the relationship between haulage distance and musculoskeletal complaints (r*=-0.528; p<0.001). It can be concluded that age, working period, weight of load and hauling distance affect MSDs in haulage workers and weight of load is the dominant factor. It is hoped that ergonomic weight control can reduce musculoskeletal complaints in female transport workers.

This article will explore why and what factors led to the decline of the Abbasid dynasty after the first period. This research is motivated by the historical fact that in the second period, the glorious period and the ideal government that had been built by the predecessors gradually degraded until finally this dynasty collapsed. One of the causes is none other than disintegration. This article aims to review several things related to how the consolidation and disintegration of the Abbasid dynasty was? And also the factors causing the disintegration of the Abbasid dynasty? The research findings show that the disintegration of the abbasiyah dynasty (1000-1250) AD was caused by none other than two factors, namely internal factors such as loss of social solidarity, extent of power, competition between institutions. Meanwhile, external factors were caused by, among others, Byzantine attacks, coalition crusades.

Published: January 2022

Objective:  In Neurosurgery Unit III, Punjab Institute of Neurosciences, Lahore, we evaluated our posterior fossa tumor surgery results, complications, and surgical outcomes.

Materials and Methods:  Between January 2017 and September 2021, 80 patients with posterior fossa tumors who underwent surgical excision at the Neurosurgery Department-III of the Punjab Institute of Neurosciences in Lahore were studied retrospectively. For each patient, the diagnosis was made clinically and confirmed radiologically and histopathologically.

Results:  Males comprised 47 percent (37) of the 80 cases, while females made up 53 percent (43). The average age was 15 (with a range of 6 – 30 years). Medulloblastomas were the most frequent pathology in 25 patients (31%), followed by ependymomas in 21 patients (26%), pilocytic astrocytomas in 19 patients (24%), and hemangioblastomas in 7 individuals (8.8%). There were four cases of metastatic brain cancers (5%), two cases of choroid plexus papilloma (2.5%), one case of ganglioglioma (1.3%), and one case of Dermoid cyst (1.3%). In 90 percent of the cases (72 cases), gross total resection was obtained, while subtotal excision was performed in 10% of the cases (8 cases). The best results were seen in pilocytic astrocytoma surgery, followed by ependymoma surgery, whereas the worst results were seen in medulloblastoma surgery.

Conclusion:  The surgical treatment of posterior fossa tumors still poses a significant challenge to neurosurgeons. Our experience shows that accepted results, complications, and surgical outcomes can be obtained by meticulous surgical techniques from previous clinical studies.
Her Heart Lies at the Feet of the Mother
Authors: Moolla Fiona
Published: January 2022

Sudanese-British writer, Leila Aboulela’s novel, Minaret (2005) transforms the plot structure of Western literary and popular romance forms and develops further the plotlines of African-American Muslim romance novels. It does so by foregrounding the dissenting mother as obstruction to the union of the hero and heroine, against the backdrop of the unique status of the mother in Islam. Thus, the ending of the novel is neither happy nor tragic. Instead, the lovers are separated, and closure requires reconciliation on the part of the couple with the concerns of the mother. In addition, because of the significant differ-ence in age, the heroine is in some ways like a mother to the hero. Final contentment of the heroine is undermined by her questionable actions at the end, resulting in psychic and spiritual contraction. The novel is therefore open-ed up to ambiguity and uncertainty in the closure, notwithstanding the faith of the heroine. The specific form which closure takes, is determined by the dissenting mother as obstruction in Islamic romance.
Negotiating Gendered Leadership Positions within African Initiated Christian Churches in Amsterdam
Authors: Kyei Justice R.K.O. , Yalley Elizabeth N.M.K. , Antwi Emmanuel K.E.
Published: January 2022

Our research contributes to the discussion of feminist theorists on how the dominance of women in religious communities is not reflected in leadership positions of women. With the case of African Initiated Christian Churches (AICCs) in Amsterdam, this study investigates the intersection of gender, citizenship, and religion. The concept of religious citizenship provides the analytical tool to examine women-men relationships within immigrant religious communities. The research focuses on gendered leadership within the AICCs in Amsterdam, to enquire into how women exercise leadership in spite of the challenges faced in the AICCs. Data are drawn from in-depth interviews, participant observation, and informal interviews in Amsterdam. This study concludes that women’s access to hierarchical positions is nuanced, as main-line Protestant churches are more flexible compared to Pentecostal/Charis-matic churches. We argue that some women are situated in de facto second-class religious citizenship positions in religious communities which undermine women’s search for equal opportunities as religious citizens. Some women, however, exercise agency to circumvent the structural constraints.
Roundtable Discussion from the Annual Desmond Tutu Centre for Religion and Social Justice Public Lecture on Economies of Violence
Authors: Shaikh Sa’diyya , Seedat Fatima , Zeb Farah
Published: January 2022

In South Africa, the month of August is marked by two significant events in the country’s history: The anti-apartheid women’s march which hap-pened on 9 August 1956 and the Marikana massacre on 16 August 2012, in which 34 miners were killed by the police at the Lonmin mine. These events bring up for scrutiny the “Economies of Violence” that continue to sustain the indignity and the poverty which women, queer people, and marginalised black people in South Africa disproportionately experience. The Covid-19 pandemic has simply exacerbated this reality. Recognising the multiple factors which shape access to justice such as gender, religion, race, and class, the Desmond Tutu Centre for Religion and Social Justice annually convenes various public and scholarly conversations on these subjects. The 2021 symposium considered the importance of resisting/transcending the epistemic violence which de-mands that black women focus on research and teaching that is perpetually located within pain and suffering. By doing so, the keynote presenter, Prof Sa’diyya Shaikh, and respondents, Dr Fatima Seedat and Dr Farah Zeb, also considered the spiritual reflections and practices which bring us joy and rest.
Diseñar con perspectiva de Derechos Humanos: una primera aproximación hacia un cambio de paradigma
Authors: Ortiz-Nicolás Juan Carlos , Hernández-López Irma
Published: January 2022

Este artículo presenta una propuesta para abordar los retos de diseño desde un enfoque de Derechos Humanos, ya sea para su cumplimiento, promoción ofortalecimiento. Para ilustrar la propuesta y guiar la reflexión, se hace referencia a dos derechos, por un lado, al derecho a la vivienda, de acuerdo con las estadísticas en México, el 38.4% de la población habita una vivienda inadecuada. Y, por otro, el derecho a la justicia, se estima que en México hay 23 millones de víctimas1 y un bajo acceso a la justicia. Se parte de la idea de que desarrollar una visión de Derechos Humanos conlleva un cambio de paradigma, entre otras cosas, porque: 1. El especialista comprenda la realidad desde la visión de las personas para quien diseña. 2. Mirar la realidad desde otros referentes (social, bienestar y dignidad). 3. Es una invitación a la reflexión, al análisis de sus propios valores humanos y cómo estos se plasman en su práctica de diseño. 4. Es unaalternativa para buscar y plantear nuevas soluciones con valor humano e integrales. 5. Se potencializa el trabajo transdisciplinario. 6. Es un medio para reflexionar sobre el aporte e impacto que tiene la disciplina del Diseño en las personas. Considerar los Derechos Humanos implica necesariamente cambiar la forma en que el diseñador observa, percibe y entiende la realidad. Además, conlleva  indiscutiblemente a reformular la forma en que se plantea los retos de diseño, cómo se desarrollan y resuelven las soluciones de diseño. La propuesta es fundamentar la práctica del diseño en el marco de los Derechos Humanos,dicha práctica debe ser intencional, consciente y orientada a un reto específico.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar predictores de autoeficacia para el control de peso en estudiantes de secundaria (públicas y privadas) de la zona sur de Tamaulipas (Tampico y Ciudad Madero). El diseño del estudio fue no experimental, explicativo y transversal. La muestra fue no probabilística e intencional de 343 adolescentes estudiantes de escuelas secundarias públicas y privadas. Se utilizó el inventario de Autoeficacia Percibida para el Control de Peso de estudiantes de secundaria, el índice de masa corporal (IMC), la escala para evaluar aspectos positivos y negativos (PANAS) y el inventario de Autoatribuciones positivas y negativas en adolescentes. La edad promedio de los adolescentes de este estudio fue de 13.48, el 79%. Los resultados muestran una relación lineal significativa entre la variable dependiente y dos variables independientes (F=52.83, p<.001), autoatributos positivos es la que mejor predice autoeficacia para el control de peso (β=.38), seguida por afectos positivos (β=.15). Se puede concluir que el modelo predictivo de autoeficacia para el control de peso en estudiantes adolescentes de la zona sur de Tamaulipas es significativo y cumple con el objetivo de este estudio.

A Study on the Performance Evaluation System of Microfinance Companies Under Dual Objectives
Authors: Guo Xing
Published: January 2022

Microfinance companies are the result of China’s rural financial reform. Since their creation, they have been undertaking the responsibility of effectively allocating financial resources and guiding the flow of funds to rural areas and underdeveloped areas through the introduction of private capital. The emergence of microfinance companies has intensified the competition in rural financial market and built a new pattern of rural financial service systems. As a result driven by multiple objectives, these microfinance companies must face the issue of how to integrate microfinance services for the “three rurals” (rural economy, rural community, and rural residents) as well as small, medium, and micro enterprises with their own finances in a sustainable and effective manner. On the basis of dual objectives and with full consideration of the characteristics of China’s microfinance companies, this study has constructed a performance evaluation system exclusively for commercial microfinance companies in China by drawing on the performance evaluation system of foreign micro-credit institutions through analytic hierarchy process and Delphi method.
