Interval type-2 fuzzy sets (T2FSs) with interval membership grades are suitable for dealing with imprecision or uncertainties in many real-world problems. In the Interval type-2 fuzzy context, the aim of this paper is to develop an interactive signed distance-based simple additive weighting (SAW) method for solving multiple criteria group decision-making problems with linguistic ratings and incomplete preference information. This paper first formulates a group decision-making problem with uncertain linguistic variables and their transformation to interval type-2 trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Concerning the relative importance of multiple decision-makers and group consensus of fuzzy opinions, a procedure using hybrid averages is then employed to construct a collective decision matrix. By an appropriate extension of the classical SAW approach, this paper utilizes the concept of signed distances and establishes an integrated programming model to manage multi-criteria group decisions under the incomplete and inconsistent preference structure. Further, an interactive procedure is established for group decision making. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed methods are illustrated by a collaborative decision-making problem of patient-centered care (PCC).

This paper presents a method for analyzing the throwing motion of a yo-yo based on an integrated model of a yo-yo and a manipulator. Our previous integrated model was developed by constraining a model of a white painted commercial yo-yo and a model of a plain single-link manipulator with certain constraining conditions placed between two models. However, for the yo-yo model, the collisions between the string and the axle of the yo-yo were not taken into account. To avoid this problem, we estimate some of the yo-yo parameters from the experiments, thereby preserving the functionality of the model. By applying the new integrated model with the identified parameters, we analyze the throwing motion of the yo-yo through numerical simulations. The results of which show the ranges of the release angle and the angular velocity of the joint of the manipulator during a successful throw. In conclusion, the proposed analysis method is effective in analyzing the throwing motion of a manipulator.

Organisations invest heavily in knowledge management technologies and initiatives which are entirely dependent on the willingness of employees to share their knowledge. Educational and reward programs need to be informed by an understanding of what motivates people to share their knowledge at work. Prior research based on motivational theories suggests the importance of intrinsic and extrinsic motivators to encourage voluntary pro-social behaviours such as knowledge sharing. However, the literature on motivation in the context of knowledge sharing is still emerging and fragmented. This chapter therefore proposes an integrated model that brings together theoretical insights from motivational research to explain the influence of key intrinsic and extrinsic motivators on knowledge sharing. The chapter reports the results of the assessment of the model based on data collected across 10 organisations. The discussion of results contributes to the understanding of motivational factors influencing attitude and intention to share knowledge and their relative importance.
