Energy subsidies encompass explicit subsidies and implicit subsidies (opportunity costs), both of which significantly influence economic agents' decision-making, as described in the theoretical literature. Iran faces several pressing issues, including escalating energy consumption, inadequate price signaling to address consumption patterns, increasing greenhouse gas emissions, and prevailing distributional challenges related to energy subsidies. Consequently, reforming energy carrier subsidies in Iran becomes an imperative task. However, numerous obstacles hinder the effective implementation of this policy, presenting substantial challenges. This study employs a comparative approach that incorporates expert opinions and utilizes the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method with a holistic perspective to evaluate and rank the barriers to energy subsidy reform. The identified barriers are categorized into three groups based on specific criteria: 1) political and social barriers, 2) economic barriers, and 3) institutional and governance barriers. Subsequently, thirteen sub-criteria have been established, considering Iran's economic conditions. The research findings highlight the significance of economic barriers, accounting for 53% weight, followed by political and social barriers with 26%, and institutional and governance barriers with 21%. Notably, among the economic barriers, the high dependency of energy industries on the country's exports and the government's concerns about potential damage to foreign exchange revenues, particularly under sanctions, emerge as crucial factors. Regarding political and social barriers, the prevalent mindset of entitlement among citizens regarding energy subsidies proves noteworthy. Additionally, the lack of a cohesive and reliable database for implementing energy subsidy reform policies assumes utmost importance among institutional and governance barriers. Based on these results, it is imperative for the government to undertake measures encompassing formulation, implementation, and evaluation in all dimensions of energy subsidy reform

 Today, due to the costly and risky nature of projects and resource constraints in pharmaceutical companies, the correct decision-making of managers for selecting projects to form the final portfolio and implementation of projects is necessary. The huge investment of companies in the drug makes the industry more important. pharmaceutical companies with the development, introduction and construction of existing and new drugs try to maintain their competitiveness, which is an efficient management process of drugs. For this reason, the design and selection of an optimal portfolio of projects that are entered into the company and with a larger perspective is vital to designing the optimal structure of project portfolio management in the pharmaceutical industry. This study aims to design an optimal structure of project portfolio management in the pharmaceutical industry with a case study.

Design/methodology/approach: 

The current research embarks on identifying new criteria based on a literature review and interviews with experts. The proposed structure offers four kinds of criteria according to which the required standard measures for the evaluation of the project portfolio design are customized and extracted. Criteria include institutional theory, stakeholders’ theory, dependency of resources theory, and sense-making theory. After determining the evaluation criteria related to each perspective, the mentioned criteria have been validated. Then, by using the existing methods, such criteria have been quantified. Finally, the identified measures have been employed in the proposed structure. The weight of each criterion was determined using the FAHP method and by using the Fuzzy TOPSIS method (FTOPSIS), and the best type of structure for the selected pharmaceutical industry was selected according to portfolio components. 

 In this paper, a real case was studied in Iran’s pharmaceutical Industries, and the result of the configuration was illustrated. Quantitative values ​​of validated criteria were determined with the help of academic and industry experts and existing methods. After calculating the quantitative values ​​of the criteria for the evaluation of pharmaceutical project portfolio designs, such values were used in the FTOPSIS model. Finally, based on the findings, projects such as innovation and improvement of existing products indicated that research and development in pharmaceutical companies can provide the ground for progressive growth; in other words, the development of products that have proven their efficiency can be the shortest path for achieving the objectives. Therefore, pharmaceutical companies relying on these products, innovation in offering new products in the family of these products or improving them, can shape their projects in the best way possible. furthermore, firms with a far-reaching view of monopoly can take more effective steps in drug production using the intellectual capacity of other companies. The production of medicines is a common practice in pharmaceutical companies, confirmed the results.

Research limitations/implications: 

The main limitation of this study is the lack of accurate information in the early stages of product development in pharmaceutical industries. In this research, it was assumed that the information provided by the experts and designers of the relevant industry is correct and real. For future research, the method of calculating the priority of components considering the technical ability of the industries is suggested. It is also suggested to decide according to the categorization and identification of criteria with other approaches. Comparing the results of this study with other studies is another subject of future study.

Practical implications:

 Finding comprehensive criteria to evaluate project portfolio designs and proposing an effective structure for evaluation can lead to selecting the best portfolio for the pharmaceutical industries. The proposed structure can increase profit and innovation in the pharmaceutical industry. 

Originality/value: 

Based on the literature review, particularly the internal research, a method that evaluates project portfolio designs with comprehensive criteria including institutional theory, stakeholders’ theory, dependency of resources theory and sensemaking theory has not been found.

One of the basic needs of human society, which is related to the issue of development in all its aspects and is now considered as one of the signs of civilization, is the issue of economic infrastructure. In addition to affecting development, this infrastructure is also changing. Therefore, in the present study, the rate of economic infrastructure development in Mazandaran province has been measured using the model of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP),  FUZZY Logic and Geographic Information System (GIS). The research method is descriptive-analytical and it can be used in the regional planning system. Accordingly, spatial layers of transportation, energy and information and communication technology (ICT) were obtained through the statistical yearbook Mazandaran province in 1398. In the following, three economic infrastructure development evaluation indicators along with related sub-criteria were rated by the participants through a questionnaire and they were integrated in the Geographic Information System (GIS). Finally, the research maps show that 49.01% of the cities in the province are in a very high category of economic infrastructure. 27% of cities are in the middle and upper middle level and 23% suffer from low and very low in economic infrastructure facilities. On the other hand, 39% of Mazandaran villages are situated in the best zone of infrastructure.

Given Iran's dependence on oil revenues, oil sanctions have always been used as an effective tool for exerting pressure on the Islamic Republic of Iran. Amidst such these circumstances, it is necessary to adapt appropriate means in terms of oil diplomacy to counteract this economic pressure and thus reduce the effects of oil sanctions. In line with this objective, this study attempts to identify and prioritize the requirements for adopting a suitable oil diplomacy for Iran. To achieve this purpose, this paper first presents a review of the current literature on the subject and uses the SWOT matrix to characterize the experience of Iran and selected countries, and subsequently, ranks the possible strategies for Iran by drawing on expert opinions and utilizing the FAHP method. Based on the results of this study, the three optimal strategies are, "Focusing on the export of petrochemical and petroleum products", "Making oil contracts attractive" and "Implementation of monetary agreements and removal of the US dollar from foreign exchange reserves", respectively. These strategies are believed to be the most effective options for reducing the pressures caused by oil sanctions.

Assessing the status of social justice is one of the important requirements of governance Iran. One of the common tools in this area is to design "composite indicators”. The composite index as tools of governance have an effective role in identifying the status quo and designing regulatory interventions to achieve the required status. According to designing composite index with respect to Islamic theoretical foundations, this study assessing the sections of composite index for Iran. Weighting is an important part of methodology constructing composite index, that based or the perspective of the elite or a theoretical foundation. The method of this study for weighting and assessing is Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy (FAHP). The results of this study show that in 5 sections and three main areas of the composite index, labor market, poverty and education (in the field of economic exchanges), family (in the field of social interactions) and political justice (in the field of political governance) was known as most influential component in the realization of social justice in Iran.

Proper provision and management of financial resources of a country's defense sector is of crucial importance for maintaining national security. The present paper is divided to two parts: In the first, the paper reviews different methods of financing for the defense sector (including sukuk, debt purchase, murabaha, capital markets, syndicates and partnerships, endowments, venture capital funds, as well as specific experimental models deployed by selected countries. In order to determine the most appropriate financing methods _among the above-mentioned options_ in the second part this paper turns to paired comparisons options using the Fuzzy Hierarchical Method (FAHP). The results indicate that among the 7 mentioned methods (sukuk, purchase of debt and Murabaha, capital market, syndicate and partnership, endowment, venture capital funds and specific experimental models deployed in selected countries), the capital market-based model ranks first and is therefore considered to be the most appropriate for financing the defense sector.

Balanced Scorecard offers a diverse set of performance indicators in four groups, including financial performance indicators, customer indicators, business process internal indicators and growth and learning indicators. The use of a balanced evaluation model has made good progress in evaluating organizations, but nevertheless, there has been a large gap in the field of social responsibility and ethics, and the developed model has been a response to this gap. This research seeks to design a developed model for evaluating the performance of government organizations.

In this research, the exploratory method and the field branch are used; Data collection was performed by field method and paired comparison questionnaire tool and then using multi-criteria decision making models (MCDM) and AHP model with fuzzy approach, the weight of the obtained indicators was normalized and displayed in five main areas as a dashboard. The statistical population of this study also consists of ten experts in the field of public administration in Tehran, who have an associate degree or higher with a history of more than ten years and have been selected by judgment.

The final weight of the criteria showed that at the level of senior managers, the criterion of "relationship with profiteers", at the level of middle managers, the criterion of "equality of social rights and non-discrimination" and at the level of basic managers, the criterion of "workplace accidents" have the highest priority and importance and the criteria of "product reliability", "customer satisfaction index regarding product delivery time" and "number of complaints", respectively, have the least importance among senior, middle and grassroots managers. The results showed that by comparing the final weight of the criteria in the whole model, the criterion of "workplace accidents" has the highest and the criterion of "number of complaints" has the lowest weight in the identified criteria.

In the metropolis of Tehran, municipal waste recycling management with produce more than 6500 tonnes per day, consisting of 42% of dry waste, is important. One of the centers pertaining to waste separation is recycling booth. An attempt is made in the present article to use the view points of the concerned experts with the aim of the modeling the criterions affecting the location of recycling booth through effectiveness and usefulness approach. The method used in the article is analytical -descriptive. Due to the spatial characteristic of locating process, and the Inherent uncertainty of urban issues, in order to determine the parameters affecting the location of recycling booth Fuzzy Delphi method, and to calculate weight of criteria, the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process is used. The results indicate that five main criteria and 16 sub-criteria are considered as prominent characteristic, such criteria like “centrality”, “efficiency and overlap”, “native characteristics and factors”, “adoptability”, “inadaptability”, and sub-criteria like “population density”, “accessibility”, “economic Potential of the booth”, “public participation” and “lack of neighborhood with military and security centers” are considered as the first to fifth priorities of components effective in the model of locating recycling booth in Tehran city.

Determining preventive maintenance intervals is critically significant from a variety of aspects, such as cost, reliability, and downtime. Currently, in many industries, such intervals are determined based on the viewpoints of experts and technicians or the manufacturer's recommendations in the manual. Determining an optimal interval, by the means of scientific methods, can have many effects in terms of costs, reliability, and downtime. For example, if the interval is assumed as very short, it can increase the cost of spare parts or manpower. Also, if the interval is too long, it increases the possibility of machine failure and downtime. For this purpose, organizations that apply the approach of time-based preventive maintenance should consider the above-mentioned criteria. However, such criteria are not compatible with each other, and each of them has its behavior. Therefore, given the existence of more than one criterion in this decision-making problem and the incompatibility of the criteria, Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods seem appropriate for this purpose.

 A component of a machine that is currently replaced periodically (and not necessarily at equal intervals) is considered for investigation. It is assumed that the failure distribution function of the component follows the Weibull distribution. First, using the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) technique, new and more general equations are presented to estimate the parameters of the failure distribution function. Subsequently, three important criteria are taken into account, including reliability, cost, and downtime due to failure and preventive replacement.. Given the existence of several criteria with different behaviors, as well as the vague or linguistic nature of human judgments, a hybrid MCDM model including Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Viekriterijumsko kompromisno rangiranje (VIKOR) is proposed.

To indicate the applicability of the proposed model, a real case was investigated in the Isfahan Steel Company. For this purpose, a circuit breaker switch of a compressor in the oxygen workshop was studied. The component was replaced at about a 200 days interval. After implementing the FAHP method, it was found that the reliability criterion was more important than the other two criteria. This is due to the high sensitivity of this component and the consequences of its failure. After Performing the VIKOR method, the set of top alternatives included replacement intervals between 50 and 90 days. It confirms that the importance of the reliability criterion, and the replacement interval, should be reduced by at least a half. Based on the results, reliability was expected to improve by 2.6% and the cost and downtime criteria to improve by 33.7% and 28.6%, respectively.

 To implement the proposed method for each component, the following data are required:Preventive maintenance and breakdown records of the component Cost and downtime of the machine due to breakdown and preventive maintenanc.Three pairwise comparisons to implement the FAHP

If information systems exist in the relevant plant, the data for items 1 and 2 are available and do not constitute a constraint on the proposed model. The only limitation of this model is the inputs of the FAHP method for which, implementing the model depends on the humans. Doing three pairwise comparisons for each component may seem a bit difficult and time-consuming. Consequently, the removal of this limitation can be proposed as a suggestion for the development of this study. Other calculations of this model can be done automatically. Also, the study of other probability distribution functions such as gamma and lognormal can be effective in improving the results of this study.

 To the best of our knowledge, the fuzzy AHP or VIKOR method has not been used to address the subject of this study, even independently. In addition, unlike previous studies, the proposed model was implemented for a component that was undergoing preventive maintenance. In other words, in most of the data collected the component was replaced before failure, which made it impossible to:Discover the component failure distribution function by data fitting. As a result, it can be assumed that the failure distribution follows the Weibull distribution.Applying the existing equations to estimate the parameters of the failure distribution function. As a result, new equations can be proposed by implementing the MLE technique.

Nowadays, with the acceleration of the development of information and communication technology in the world and the need for trade in the presence of banks to transfer financial resources, the importance of using Internet banking has become more prominent. At the moment, it seems that banks have to pay close attention to Internet banking, one of the important branches of electronic banking, and to take more effective steps towards the culture and education of this method. The purpose of this study was to identify and prioritize the expectations of internet banking users and rank the banks based on expectations by fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making methods. Following library studies and expert opinions, user expectations were identified and a questionnaire was developed based on the hierarchical analysis process, and the views of 20 experts were gathered. The results of this method indicate that the criteria for ease of use, access, and professional services have more weights and ranked first to third. Therefore, with respect to the product, prioritizing the expectations of Internet banking users, it is possible to analyze and prioritize different customers, and design and manage the services according to their needs.

Today, the economies of developed countries are based on the small and medium enterprises. An important condition for sustained success in the current economy is the expansion of small enterprises. They play an important role in consolidating incomes, economic growth and community employment. In this regard, the present study was conducted to design the model of the cooperative-oriented entrepreneurship ecosystem in rural home-based entreprises. The present study is an applied and descriptive-survey research. In this study, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) was used. In-depth study of theoretical sources was conducted to identify the dimensions of entrepreneurial ecosystem in cooperative rural businesses. The research population was 25 experts in the field of rural entrepreneurship who participated for prioritizing and measuring relative importance of themes and sub-themes. 30 sub-themes were extracted, which were placed in six main themes. The Holsty formula was used to confirm the reliability, which was 0.088. The findings showed that the political dimension (explicit support of cooperative-oriented entrepreneurship in the country), socio-cultural (building self-confidence in local investors), financing (financial support and facility support from cooperative-oriented entreprises) and the market (creating entrepreneurship networks and international cooperation) were of greater importance in a cooperative-oriented entreprises ecosystem in home-based entreprises.

Due to the rapid growth of urbanization and the increasing population of cities, attention has been paid to the worn-out texture that some thinkers have referred to as the hidden wealth of cities. Including of the basic steps in urban texture planning and design is the definition and definition of scientific and comprehensive criteria for the identification and zoning of problematic urban textures.This article tries to find a comprehensive and functional model for identifying various zones of urban texture, taking into account all the factors affecting the burnout. To further analyze the data, the area of the 12th district of Tehran has been studied as an example. The research method used in this research is descriptive-analytic. The purpose of this research is to discover the most important forces and disadvantages in each weary area and to evaluate and adopt measures for development and efficiency in reducing and eliminating these factors for urban sustainability. For this purpose, the criteria are classified into 4 major categories (social / cultural, economic, physical / spatial and environmental) and 20 sub-criteria. With the finalization of the applied model and through the integrated model of fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and geographic information system (GIS), the worn-out areas of the studied tissue are identified and evaluated. Research findings show that social / cultural criteria with 29% of weight are the most important factors of inefficiency, Physical / spatial measures with 27% weight are in the second priority.

The construction of power transmission lines (PTLs) is one of the most important activities of the power industry of any nation in the development of power transmission network. Many technical, economic, environmental and social factors are involved in the issue of power transmission lines routing. These factors sometimes have co-directional and increasing effect and, in some cases, the effect is not co-directional and is even in opposite direction. Therefore, it is very important to determine the appropriate route for the power transmission lines which is in proportion with the needs and objectives of the project and to take the role of effective factors into consideration.   In this research, factors and criteria effective in power transmission lines routing were investigated in the form of three economic, access and maintenance objectives of the power transmission lines and adverse environmental effects. Given that, the problem is multi-objective, the criteria of more than one objective function must be optimized simultaneously. This data set includes Digital Elevation Model layers, land slope, villages, land use, roads, power transmission lines routes, geology, landslide, soil type, soil erosion, rivers and protected areas. In order to weight the factors and their combination, considering the features of each factor, the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) methods and the Weighted Linear Combination (WLC) have been used. FAHP is a very useful method for multiple-criteria decision-making in the fuzzy environment, which has provided substantial applications in recent years. Also, WLC is an analytical method which is used in the time of multi-criteria or more than one criterion decision-making. Any feature taken into consideration is called a criterion. Each criterion is weighted based on its significance. As previously mentioned, the issue of the power transmission lines routing is a multi-objective issue. Since there is no single solution to optimize each objective simultaneously, there is a set of Pareto optimal solutions. This solution is called non-dominated or Pareto optimal that the values of none of the objective functions can be improved without reducing the values of one or several other objectives. Considering the presented explanation, in order to determine the appropriate route with regard to the multi-objective problem, the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) was used as an evolutionary multi-criteria decision-making method. The aforementioned model was used for the routing of 63 KV transmission lines between the two power stations of Shahid Salmani and Kiyasar in the city of Sari. The Arc GIS 10.3, Matlab and Google Earth were used in this research. Moreover, GIS was used for displaying, managing, analyzing and storing large and various datasets.
Discussion and Results: In order to solve the power transmission lines routing problem, different parts of this algorithm have been developed and expanded. In this research, an innovative operator was used for intersecting, mutating and non-dominated sorting. To determine the appropriate route based on the multi-objective, the algorithm must be run repeatedly and by using different parameters. In the present model, the objective functions are evaluated in every iteration in order to obtain the best result. In order to test and evaluate the efficiency of the algorithm, two samples of commonly used experiments in this field, i.e., repeatability test and parameter adjusting test, were used. The success rate of the repeatability and parameter adjusting tests for the presented model were 89% and 88%, respectively, which indicates the success of this model in both tests. The comparison of the best route generated from the proposed model with the existing power transmission line shows the improvement of the values of the objective functions, the reduction of 27 tension towers and 31 suspension towers and the reduction of about 6 km of the route length relative to the existing route of the power transmission line.   The Final Results of the Research Indicated that GIS capabilities can be properly integrated with the NSGA-II algorithm which, has appropriate capabilities such as, less computational complexity, high speed implementation of the algorithm and elitism process to solve the problem of routing the power transmission lines, and are exploited by applying appropriate changes in this algorithm, and by employing the FAHP method for any type of route and routing problem Particularly in the field of distribution, super-distribution and high voltage power lines. In future researches, in case of having more comprehensive information layers such as wind, temperature, precise geological information, agrology and technical and specialized calculations like tension and compression in the towers, combining the proposed method with dynamic programming algorithms in the tower locating sector and the possibility of taking various equipment in different environmental conditions into consideration can improve the process and quality of routing. Also, in the future works, it is possible to solve the problems of locating-routing of towers and passing the route of the transmission line by taking technical, environmental, social and economic factors into consideration, using modern methods or other methods for optimizing multi-objective evolutionary algorithms.

Due to development of industrial activities and increasing of population around Mount Moro in the recent decades in one hand and reduction of alluvial water resource on the other hand, groundwater exploration in the fractured rocks of the study area is of interest. An extensive outcrop of hard rocks in Mount Moro with a medium annual precipitation of 304 mm, implies that a potential of groundwater at the area is very probable. The purpose of this study is developing a zoning map for the study area according to  the potential of groundwater  using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) by employing a set of GIS software. Distribution of igneous, sandstone and limestone formation has developed hard rock aquifers with high quality and quantity of groundwater which supply a part of drinking water for the region.  So, different layers were weighted based on SAW and F-AHP methods. Finally, the zoning map is classified into five groups (very low, low, medium, high, and very high) using the Raster Calculator Function. The resultant map verified by projecting the locations of springs and qanats on the zoning map. The final verified zoning map shows that the F-AHP and SAW results are more consistent and so it can be more reliable. Middle part of the Moro syncline showed high potential of groundwater, especially at the north flank. Fracture density and lithology have the main impact on the groundwater occurrence in this region.
