As the world confronts the 4th industrial revolution era, there is a growing interest in coding education around the world to cultivate creative and convergent students who possess computational thinking and problem-solving skills. In order for coding education to be successful, the following questions are considered: 1.What should be taught first? 2. How should it be taught? This study aims to determine the priority of leaning topics in elementary school coding education. To do so, a focus group interview was conducted with four experts in the field of coding education, and 12 learning topics were identified. Based on the interview results, a questionnaire was administered to coding instructors. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied to derive priorities among the learning topics. The results showed that ‘procedural problem solving’ was found as the most important unit that the elementary school coding education needs to deal with. As for the learning topics, ‘problem definition and breakdown’, ‘block coding’, ‘implementation of algorithm’, ‘understanding of algorithm’ and ‘necessity for learning coding’ were found to be the top 5 priorities. Based on these results, this study presents four suggestions to consider for coding education to be carried out more effectively.

Cricket is one of the most popular game in the world and competition is increasing among the teams. Every cricket board is putting its resources to search the best players and train them to overcome their opponents. For this, they use different tools and techniques to judge the abilities and weakness of the players. We are presenting a tool known as SWOT analysis through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) that can help players to grow stronger and find potential opportunities. SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis is a widely used technique for analyzing external and internal components and find out an efficient method to support for the decisions. The proposed technique is acquired by performing Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). In conclusion, the SWOT and AHP integration may provide great assistance to cricket board in determining the best players that play an important role in winning the cricket match.

Operations Research is a scientific discipline that can be used to help make decisions in all fields. In the military field, the application of operations research is very much so that every officer must be able to apply it in carrying out his duties. Indonesian Navy officers received education about operations research, especially the analytic hierarchy process when they attended the Staff and Command College. A total of 20 student officers were examined to find out the difficulties they faced in solving problem solving for the analytic hierarchy process material through written answers to questions and in-depth interviews using Polya's problem-solving steps. The results obtained are that all officers did not experience problems at the time of problem identification. However, almost half of them experienced problems when planning solutions, carrying out calculations and conducting reviews. The recommendation submitted is to use a software application so that the calculations are correct and fast.

<p>Nepal possesses huge hydropower potential but lacks experience, funding and political stability which are critical to development. Different national strategies have been proposed in the past ranging from promoting small scale hydro that provides local to regional economic incentives to the recommendation of large schemes to enhance national objectives. This paper analyses the last few decades of hydropower development in Nepal and proposes a multi-criterion approach, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), to identify projects considering social and environmental concerns in addition to economic objectives. A multi-perspective look at prioritizing hydropower schemes namely micro (below 1 MW), small (from 1-25 MW), medium (from 25-100 MW), big (from 100-1000 MW) and large (greater than 1000 MW) is important in order for hydropower development to proceed in the best possible way. This perspective could be of use in strengthening hydropower related strategy and policy in Nepal.</p><p> </p><p>The prioritization procedure is embedded into a multi-objective framework including six goals, namely a technical goal measured by four criteria, a social goal with five criteria, an economic goal with six criteria, an environmental goal with 4 criteria, a political goal characterised by 4 criteria and an additional goal referring to the various uncertainties, expressed by five criteria.  Evidence based subjective value judgment based on secondary sources, mainly related documents and experts consultations, is used for the prioritization approach. This research could help policy makers to maximize the benefit to the country by adopting appropriate policies and strategies. </p><p> </p><p>The effectiveness of multi criteria evaluation techniques and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for hydropower prioritization is the focus of this research. The outcome of the paper is the secondary information based on the AHP application for hydropower scale of schemes prioritization.</p><p> </p><p>This paper is presented in six sections.   The first section is the introduction focusing on the country context and MCDA in hydropower.  The second section discusses the problem definition, and the third section describes objectives and tasks. Similarly, the fourth section details the applied methodology, and the fifth section describes the results and discussion. Finally, the sixth section presents conclusions and recommendations of the research work.     </p>

Objectives: To identify early suicide risk signs on depressive subjects, so that specialized care can be provided. Various studies have focused on studying expressions on social networks, where users pour their emotions, to determine if they show signs of depression or not. However, they have neglected the quantification of the risk of committing suicide. Therefore, this article proposes a new index for identifying suicide risk in Mexico. Methodology: The proposal index is constructed through opinion mining using Twitter and the Analytic Hierarchy Process. Contribution: Using R statistical package, a study is presented considering real data, making a classification of people according to the obtained index and using information from psychologists. The proposed methodology represents an innovative prevention alternative for suicide.
