Abstract In the context of local analytic hierarchy process-group decision making (AHP-GDM), this paper presents a theoretical framework and semi-automatic procedure for reducing incompatibility between actors involved in process collective position. The row geometric mean is employed as prioritisation compatibility index ( $$\textrm{GCOMPI}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/Ma...

Group decision-making (GDM) processes shape the evolution of open source software (OSS) products, thus playing an important role in governance communities. While these GDM have attracted attention researchers, rationale behind decisions, that is, how decisions are made enhance OSS, not received much attention. This work bridges this gap by extracting rationales from a large repository comprisin...

Because of the complexity of decision-making environment, the uncertainty of fuzziness and the uncertainty of grey maybe coexist in the problems of multi-attribute group decision making. In this paper, we study the problems of multi-attribute group decision making with hybrid grey attribute data (the precise values, interval numbers and linguistic fuzzy variables coexist, and each attribute val...

INTRODUCTION Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a heterogeneous disease. We hypothesized that fasting hyperglycaemia, defined as impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG), is a marker of metabolic heterogeneity of GDM. The aim of this study was to compare selected metabolic parameters in two groups of women with GDM, one with normal fasting glycaemia (NFG GDM) and another with IFG, to test this hypo...

Review on group decision support systems (GDSS) indicates that traditional GDSS are not specifically designed to support mission-critical group decision-making tasks that require group decision-making to be made effectively within short time. In addition, prior studies in the research literature have not considered group decision preference adjustment as a continuous process and neglected its i...

INTRODUCTION Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common metabolic disorder that occurs during pregnancy. Knowing the risk factors for GDM is thus particularly important. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between GDM and a history of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). METHODS A case-control study was conducted involving 188 pregnant women. Ninety-four cases had GDM based on...

Juvenile court judges are asked to determine what is in the best interest of the child in every case they hear. As Judge Cindy S. Lederman writes, making these decisions without an awareness of the science of child development can be detrimental to the mental and physical well-being of the child. Yet until about a decade ago, court decisions were routinely made without taking into consideration...

AIM Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with cardiovascular diseases; however, the relationship between epicardial fat thickness (EFT) and GDM remains unclear. The present study evaluates and compares EFT using transthoracic echocardiography in pregnant women with GDM. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study included 129 pregnant women in the third trimester: 65 with GD...
