Human errors are commonplace among hoist drivers in the hoisting task of coalmines. To reduce these errors and prevent accidents, it is necessary to identify the features of cognitive behaviors and main cognitive errors of the hoist drivers. This paper analyzes the accident cases and operating flow of coalmine hoist, and establishes a cognitive process model of coalmine hoist drivers. Further, the cognitive behaviors and functions of the drivers were analyzed stage by stage, revealing the distributions of their main cognitive behaviors and functions. It is learned that most coalmine hoist accidents concentrate in two stages: lifting, and operation monitoring. The operating processes in the two stages were further deliberated. The specific operations were extracted as the influencing factors of human errors, and the importance of each index was calculated through analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The research results provide a theoretical reference for identifying the key factors affecting the human errors of the operations by coalmine hoist drivers, and shed new light on how to prevent such errors.

The allocation of limited resources to effectively promote tourism is one of the most important issues in the tourism industry, especially in tough economic times. This paper seeks to investigate the relative importance of the key factors affecting tourism performance by applying the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) method. Specifically, the paper identifies the factors and sub-factors of the hierarchical structure from the literature relating to tourism performance. The framework based on the AHP method is then proposed to determine the relative weights of the factors and sub-factors in contributing to tourism performance. An application case related to the Vietnamese context is used to illustrate the proposed framework. The results of this study consolidated the tourism theory and suggested recommendations and solutions for the Vietnamese tourism industry. The proposed framework could be used by a group of decision-makers to achieve a consensus, as well as deal with uncertainty in the decision-making process. The findings of the study may serve as a tool for assistance for planners in improving the efficiency of tourism performance.

This study discussed the factors affecting the design of the fire rescue and training courses for firefighters in Miaoli County. A questionnaire survey was conducted on firefighters. The content of the fire rescue courses held by Miaoli County Fire Bureau was discussed. Based on literature review and expert opinions upon Delphi method, this study analyzed the indicators of influencing factors. A hierarchical architecture was established. The weights affecting the design factor indicators affecting the fire rescue courses were obtained with the survey and analytic hierarchy process, and then were summarized and analyzed to establish a weight system.

It is imperative to develop a methodology to identify river impairment sources, particularly the relative impact of socioeconomic sources, to enhance the efficiency of various river restoration schemes and policies and to have an internal diagnosis system in place. This study, therefore, aims to identify and analyze the relative importance of the socioeconomic factors affecting river ecosystem impairment in South Korea. To achieve this goal, we applied the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to evaluate expert judgement of the relative importance of different socioeconomic factors influencing river ecosystem impairment. Based on a list of socioeconomic factors influencing stream health, an AHP questionnaire was prepared and administered to experts in aquatic ecology. Our analysis reveals that secondary industries form the most significant source of stream ecosystem impairment. Moreover, the most critical socioeconomic factors affecting stream impairment are direct inflow pollution, policy implementation, and industrial wastewater. The results also suggest that the AHP is a rapid and robust approach to assessing the relative importance of different socioeconomic factors that affect river ecosystem health. The results can be used to assist decision makers in focusing on actions to improve river ecosystem health.

<p>In order to better plan health based interventions, educators and health promoters need to make decisions in this regard. In the meantime, it should be noted that, multiple criteria decision making methods with theoretical roots and accuracy of forecasting results are less considered.</p><p>The current study is a descriptive research carried out on 15 experts working in Yazd Health Centers using purposeful sampling. In order to identify wrong eating habits of students, Delphi method is used. In the next step, these habits are compared, one by one, and scored with Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) Model. In the end, data are analyzed using Expert Choice 11 software.</p><p>Seven major wrong eating habits of female adolescents are identified: junk food consumption, drinking soda and sweet drinks, eating fast food, deleting main meals, improper diets, low intake of vegetables, and not eating breakfast. Among these, low intake of vegetables, eating fast food, and not eating breakfast, with weight rate of 32.4%, 19.4% and 19.3%, are specified as the first three priorities of education.</p><p>In various fields of education and health promotion, including prioritizing training needs, employing techniques with potentials of assessing multiple criteria at the same time can be highly efficient. </p>
