“…In this study, in order to make the determination of weights less subjective and allow a more convenient process, the entropy method is nested to obtain (Chen,Wang, and Deng , 2015). The entropy method is capable of being deployed as a weighting calculation method through the following steps:…”

An extension model was proposed for identifying core capabilities of service-oriented manufacturing enterprises. In this model, the extension theory and variable weight theory are integrated according to the basic structure and characteristics of the enterprises' core capabilities. In order to reduce the influence of subjective factors, the entropy weight method was employed to determine the constant weight of the characteristics of core capabilities. The function of punishment variable weights is formulated to feature the coordination of the characteristics, which makes the weight distribution more reasonably. Finally, the proposed model was verified using the grade identification on an agricultural equipment manufacturing enterprise. The results show that this model is well consistent with the actual situation of the enterprise, and can well reflect the real state of the core capability elements.

“…Thus, the study conducted by Chen et al [62] aimed to generate a method for developing a road safety risk index (RSRi), in view of the increasing number of deaths and injuries caused by vehicle crash, which proved to be a serious public health and safety problem according to the study. As a methodology, the authors used the entropy method, which is a statistical parameter used to measure, in a sense, how much information is generated on average for each indicator.…”

Public security is a topic with increasing relevance over the years. In this context, the growing demand requires decisions that consider multiple points of view, some of them subjective. This work is based on the assumption that few studies have been conducted in the public security sector employing multiple criteria techniques to support the decision making procedure. In this context, this research had the objective of mapping the application of MCDA methods within the scope of public security. A literature review in the journals of the Scopus and ISI Web of Science databases was carried out in October 2016, accessed through Capes portal, integrating the following themes: public security and multicriteria decision aid. A systematic search was conducted by applying the Webibliomining method. After applying specific keywords and filters 965 records were returned from Scopus and 788 records from the ISI Web of Science. The review of findings summary resulted in a set of 19 articles validated as compliant for inclusion in the revision, where 19 were from Scopus and 6 were shared with the Web of Science base. The analysis of the articles showed that there is no predominant multicriteria method in the context of the search. The recurrent applications refer to the resolution of the policing distribution problem, and classification of crime rate by region. The key contribution of this work is to provide the reader with a map of public safety problems already addressed in the context of MCDAs approaches and to highlight aspects of this problem that have not yet explored in the context of the MCDA.

“…For more details refer to Wegman et al 2009 (23). Furthermore, in other studies different indicators with local and national applications have been used (8,13,(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35). Look at the Table 2 that was designed based on the structure of Shen's table (14).…”

Context: Every government implements various policies to mitigate road traffic injuries (RTIs). Many of these interventions are performed by traffic police. To evaluate effectiveness and efficiency of police enforcement, numerous studies have been conducted. Potential capabilities of epidemiology could get opportunity to improve these studies. The aim of this study was to extract and discuss some related methodological points of traffic police effectiveness and efficiency from related studies, in view of epidemiology discipline.Evidence Acquisition: Related articles were searched with "traffic police", "effectiveness", "efficiency" and "road safety" keywords in ScienceDirect, PubMed and Safetylit databases. Related papers were selected and read carefully to summarize and discuss the epidemiological points with aims of giving clues to improve quality of studies.Results: From a total of 797 articles, 20 were eligible which among them 17 articles were about effectiveness and 3 of them were about efficiency evaluations. Discussed points were the method of study, taking a holistic view to all positive and negative side effects, desired inputs and outputs, relation pattern between police enforcement and outcome and potential confounders. Conclusions:Better understanding of the effectiveness and efficiency mechanism and having valid evaluation required considering specific theories and points in this field. Applying a dynamic approach with considering epidemiological concepts and sophisticated statistical models could improve quality of studies in this field.As numerous studies have been conducted on the effectiveness and efficiency of traffic police enforcement, review of related epidemiological points could augment their quality (7-16).
