Military Combat

This paper reports a study into the special features of military (combat) activities at the present stage of military art development. The purpose was to subsequently define the basic requirements for reconnaissance-firing systems. The features under consideration are a rapid change in the situation, competition with an enemy for winning in time, accuracy, maneuverability, secrecy. They also involve a large amount of data that must be operated when deciding on combat use (hostilities). Other attributes of modern military (combat) activities are the consistency of operations and a clear structure of subordination; independence in maintenance and positioning. These data are useful and important because they make it possible to reasonably define the requirements for reconnaissance-firing systems. This paper has defined those requirements for reconnaissance-firing systems and such criteria for their selection that are predetermined by the specificity of military (combat) activities. The most important selection criteria include efficiency, accuracy, secrecy, robustness. Several actual reconnaissance-firing systems have been analyzed in order to demonstrate the use of the methodology. Specifically, «Kropyva» (Ukraine), «ArtOS» (Ukraine), «Obolon-A» (Ukraine), «Sokil» (Poland, Ukraine). A procedure for justifying the choice of reconnaissance-firing systems has been devised, taking into consideration the conditions of military (combat) activities, based on the method involving an analytic hierarchy process. A given procedure substantiates those selection criteria that were determined on the basis of patterns in modern military activities. From a practical point of view, the proposed methodology makes it possible to significantly reduce the time for planning an operation and considerably improve the validity of decisions by a commander (chief) regarding the choice of a reconnaissance-firing system and its further use in combat activities.

This study aims to analyze the problem of waqf management from the point of view of regulators, nazhir and wakif. The research object is the management of waqf in the Yogyakarta Special Province with respondents from the Department of Religion of the Special Region of Yogyakarta, the Yogyakarta branch of the Al-Qur'an Waqf Board, and the wakif who are domiciled in Yogyakarta. The research approach uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with the aim of formulating strategic solutions in the management of waqf. This study found that there are still many waqf that provide their waqf assets without going through an official waqf management institution. AHP's priority solutions include providing convenience to services for nazhir. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out intensive training for nazhir so that the management of waqf can be more optimal so as to increase public confidence in waqf in official waqf institutions. In addition, this study also recommends an increase in the accountability of waqf management. The accountability of waqf management can be realized in the form of periodic reports that are presented directly to the wakifs or through media in accordance with the local character of the community.Keywords:  Accountability, Waqf Management, Analytic Hierarchy Process  Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis masalah pengelolaan wakaf dari sudut pandang regulator, nazhir dan wakif. Obyek penelitian adalah pengelolaan wakaf di Propinsi Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta dengan responden dari Departemen Agama Propinsi Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta, Nazhir Badan Wakaf Al-Qur’an cabang Yogyakarta, dan Wakif yang berdomisili di Yogyakarta. Pendekatan penelitian menggunakan Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) dengan tujuan untuk merumuskan solusi yang strategis dalam pengelolaan wakaf. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa masih banyak wakif yang memberikan aset wakafnya tanpa melalui lembaga pengelola wakaf yang resmi. Prioritas solusi AHP antara lain dengan memberikan kemudahan layanan yang dilakukan nazhir. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan pelatihan intensif bagi nazhir agar pengelolaan wakaf semakin optimal sehingga meningkatkan kepercayaan masyarakat untuk berwakaf pada lembaga wakaf resmi. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga merekomendasikan adanya peningkatan akuntabilitas pengelolaan wakaf. Akuntabilitas pengelolaan wakaf dapat diwujudkan dalam bentuk laporan berkala yang disajikan secara langsung kepada para wakif maupun melalui media yang sesuai dengan karakter lokal masyarakat.

This paper aims to present a model to determine the preferred Islamic contract for the bank facilities applicant in the industrial sector. For this purpose we use a consolidated method which includes the compromise solution multi-criteria optimization in the first phase, and the calculation of the cost of financing for the applicant of facilities in the second phase. Afterwards, by using the output of the both-phase, the preferred Islamic contract based on the combinational criterion has been determined for the applicant of the facilities. According to the fact that in the financing of the projects, in addition to the criteria related to the cost of financing, the qualitative criteria are also important, so both the qualitative and quantitative criteria have been considered in this research. In this study, we used four widely applied Islamic contracts (Jo’aalah Instalment sales, Hire purchase, Participation). The assessment criteria of the Islamic contracts have been extracted in the form of a questionnaire based on the previous studies and the expert’s point of view. In the first phase, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been used in order to determine the weights of the evaluation criteria of the Islamic contracts; and, in order to select an appropriate contract for the applicant, the compromise solution multi-criteria optimization approach (VIKOR), which is based on the decision matrix, was used. In the second phase, the cost of financing from the bank was estimated for the applicant of the facilities in the four contracts. Finally, the obtained results of the qualitative questionnaire and the cost of financing from the bank have been combined; thus, the preferred contract for the applicant of facilities has been determined based on a combinational criterion.

Even though multifunctionality concept is reflected, implicit or explicitly, in the design of actual agrarian policies, its consideration when analysing and assessing farming systems is relatively limited in the scientific literature. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is proposed with this aim. AHP is a multicriteria discrete decision support technique that is used in complex decision making. This methodology is stated jointly with a proposed procedure to measure relative agreement among decision makers and uniformity of alternatives’ performances in group decision making. Finally AHP is implemented in the assessment of organic, integrated and conventional olive groves in Andalusia considering criteria of a different nature – economic, technical, sociocultural and environmental –. The final purpose is determining the more interesting growing techniques from a holistic point of view for all the society in the medium/long-term on the basis of knowledge of experts on olive.

This paper argues the use of Analytic Hierarchy Process in service supplier selection process. The literature has evidence of important criteria for supply supplier selection process. However, there is a dearth of studies on service supplier selection process. To address this gap, this paper firstly systematically reviews the existing procurement literature, secondly, it argues for the use of alternative methods research to address questions related to ranking of selection criteria, and thirdly, it proposes and illustrates the use of Analytic Hierarchy Process to analyze the identified criteria. The paper concludes with limitations and further research directions.

Hierarchy Process

The market in container shipping has been characterised as highly cyclical. In a depressed stage of the cycle, with a sharp decrease in demand, the gap between supply and demand widens significantly leading to a deepening overcapacity in the sector. In order to reduce overcapacity in the container shipping sector specific actions have been undertaken by such shipping operators. This paper describes a study which modelled certain selection criteria applied to overcapacity absorbing methods for containership companies. The relative ranking of each criterion was determined through a fuzzy- AHP method. In order to conduct the method, five main and twenty seven sub-criteria were determined. The results of this approach showed that during the times of a collapsed market the most preferred type of overcapacity absorbing method is to lay-up vessels, followed by adopting slow-steaming and thirdly, scrapping. Newbuilding contract cancellation/postponement and service suspension were found to have the least effect.
