Applications of fuzzy soft set theory in many disciplines and real life situations have been studied by many researchers but, its application in healthcare industry is new. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time in literature that this framework is introduced for patients’ prioritization. This chapter focuses on developing an interdisciplinary, systematic and innovative prioritization framework which is inspired by (Celik & Yamak, 2013) work on medical diagnosis. The proposed framework considers uncertainty, multiple criteria, risks and their inherent interactions to prioritize patients’ access to healthcare services. In this chapter, Analytical Network Process (ANP) is used to find relative importance weights of criteria and risks considering interactions and feedbacks. Then, by using the notion of a fuzzy soft set together with arithmetic operations on fuzzy number, authors apply the fuzzy soft set technology for patients’…
A fuzzy set is a class of objects with a continuum of grades of membership. Such a set is characterized by a membership function that assigns to each object a grade of membership ranging from zero to one. Fuzzy sets generalize classical sets, because the indicator functions of classical sets are special cases of the membership functions of the fuzzy sets, if the latter only has values of 0 or 1. In fuzzy set theory, classical bivalent sets are commonly called crisp sets. Triangle fuzzy number…
If evil and irrationality are truly parts of human nature, they would be evident in society. For both Golding and Conrad, civilization seemed full of mankind’s evil. Golding commented that Lord of the Flies was his “attempt to trace the defects of society back to the defects of human nature” (Epstein 204). It is about the failure of civilization to overcome evil (Thapliyal and Kunwar 86). Civilization on the island seems to be in ruins, but the outside world is in much bigger shambles. The story…
The use of neural networks in fuzzy modelling and control systems which are built on fuzzy logic has made possible the creation of the so-called neuro-fuzzy systems. A neuro-fuzzy system is a modified artificial neural network, meaning that this system contains a fuzzy system and more memory storage capacities than a simple neural network. Fuzzy systems are considered to be more friendly than neural networks because their behaviour can be explained using the human reasoning model. The main…
She struggles to have kids because she’s married but in love with others’. She is in love with her brother, Geb, and Thoth, and she makes love to them. Ra gets very mad and upset and curses her from having children for any month of any year. This is hard for her and brings her sadness because she wants to be a mother, she asks Thoth “Is there anything you can do to help me? Surely, one of the children within me is yours!(Rosenberg 163)”. He tells her that he would find a way to help her through…
On activity 1.8 I helped my group members understand the handshake problem, which we first experimented with in a class activity. At first some of my group members wanted to just count the amount of people there were and multiply it by the amount of handshakes that each person would perform if they shook hands with every person. I realized the problem with using this method is that some handshakes would be performed twice, we wanted the amount of handshakes if each person shook hands with every…
Sarcophagus and Mummy of Taosir This wooden coffin, discovered in the ruins of the ancient city of Ipu holds the mummified body of Taosir, the daughter of Nesmin and Taamun, priestess of Osiris in the city of Ipu around 600 BC. Its bright colors, the details of the decoration, and the good condition of its hieroglyphic text are excellent testimonies of Egyptian life in 600 BC. Falcon sarcophagus with Osiris mummy Within this sarcophagus, which was crafted in the image of the falcon god…
Horus’s story started out like Zeus’ in which they both were trying to hide and escape from death. In the beginning of the story, Set kills Horus’s father Osiris. So Isis, who is Horus’s mother, hides him from Set. So when Horus was young, “Isis brought Horus to an island in the papyrus swamps of the Nile delta. There she secretly nursed and reared her child” (Rosenberg 18). As Horus grew older he knew that someday he would find and save his father. Once he grew up he went on a journey to bring…
After drawing out a diagram of the classroom I am observing in for the first part of this narrative I realized after including everything on the drawing the organization of this classroom contributes to the academic and social growth of the diverse learners in the classroom. It is very important for a classroom like this to be set up the way it is presented especially for a small special ed class with only 7 students. One way the organization contributes to academic and social growth for…
Summary of Activities Outside of our meeting on Sunday October 8th, I spent an hour looking up registration letters online, just to see what other examples are available. I was amazed at how many different registration styles there were. I coordinated with my classmates on clip art for the registration letter and downloaded the sample my professor uploaded for us. I completed the letter and I believe it’s perfect. I can’t wait for everyone to see it also. I’m also excited to see what my…
