“…In the context of supply chains, issues such as environment, ethics, diversity, labour and human rights, fair trade, health and safety, and corporate philanthropy have been explored in different types of chains (Hashmi & Akram, 2021;Karthick & Uthayakumar, 2022;Malekinejad et al, 2022). Within the supply chains, initiatives are more often undertaken aimed at caring for the environment or society (Carter & Jennings, 2004;Ciliberti et al, 2008;Maignan et al, 2002;Yuen et al, 2017).…”

The role and meaning of sustainable development have been recognized in the scientific literature for decades. However, there has recently been a dynamic increase in interest in the subject, which results in numerous, in-depth scientific research and publications with an interdisciplinary dimension. This edited volume is a compendium of theoretical knowledge on sustainable development. The context analysed in the publication includes a multi-level and multi-aspect analysis starting from the historical and legal conditions, through elements of the macro level and the micro level, inside the organization.Organizing Sustainable Development offers a systematic and comprehensive theoretical analysis of sustainable development supplemented with practical examples, which will allow obtaining comprehensive knowledge about the meaning and its multi-context application in practice. It shows the latest state of knowledge on the topic and will be of interest to students at an advanced level, academics and reflective practitioners in the fields of sustainable development, management studies, organizational studies and corporate social responsibility.

“…The authors obtained defuzzified values using only the membership function and only employed weights to sides of the membership function. Karthick and Uthayakumar [21] evaluated a closed-loop supply chain model with intuitionistic fuzzy parameters. The model was used to investigate the delivery process of an item from a manufacturer to a retailer.…”

“…The authors used the difference between the membership function and non-membership function as the weights of the defuzzification methods. In the aforementioned studies [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]21,22], scientists preferred using weighted-averaging-based defuzzification methods. In actual applications, the authors chose different weights, such as membership values, non-membership values, hesitancy values, accuracy values, the difference between sides of (α − β) cuts, and possibility values.…”

In recent years, with the variety of digital objects around us becoming a source of information, the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have experienced very rapid development. Processing and converting the information around us into data within the framework of the information processing theory is important, as AI and ML techniques need large amounts of reliable data in the training and validation stages. Even though information naturally contains uncertainty, information must still be modeled and converted into data without neglecting this uncertainty. Mathematical techniques, such as the fuzzy theory and the intuitionistic fuzzy theory, are used for this purpose. In the intuitionistic fuzzy theory, membership and non-membership functions are employed to describe intuitionistic fuzzy sets and intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs). IFNs are characterized by the mathematical statements of these two functions. A more general and inclusive definition of IFN is always a requirement in AI technologies, as the uncertainty introduced by various information sources needs to be transformed into similar IFNs without neglecting the variety of uncertainty. In this paper, we proposed a general and inclusive mathematical definition for IFN and called this IFN a non-linear pentagonal intuitionistic fuzzy number (NLPIFN), which allows its users to maintain variety in uncertainty. We know that AI technology implementations are performed in computerized environments, so we need to transform the IFN into a crisp number to make such IFNs available in such environments. Techniques used in transformation are called defuzzification methods. In this paper, we proposed a short-cut formula for the defuzzification of a NLPIFN using the intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging based on levels (IF-WABL) method. We also implemented our findings in the minimum spanning tree problem by taking weights as NLPIFNs to determine the uncertainty in the process more precisely.
