In the past few decades, there has been lot of focus on the issue of sustainability. This has occurred due to the growing concerns related to climate change and the growing awareness about environmental concerns. Also, the competition at global level has led to the search for the most sustainable route in the industries. The current research work deals with the selection of green supplier in a Nickle coating industry based on certain weighted green attributes. For this purpose, a hybrid tool comprising of Fuzzy AHP (Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy) and VIKOR (VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje) is used. The Fuzzy AHP is used for assigning proper weights to the selected criteria for supplier evaluation, while VIKOR is used for final supplier selection based on the weighted criteria. The three criterions for green supplier selection are, Ecological packaging, Corporate socio-environmental responsibility and Staff Training. The outcome of the integrated model may serve as a steppingstone to other SMEs in different sectors for selecting the most suitable supplier for addressing the sustainability issue.

Kementrian Agama Wilayah Jawa Timur melalui Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) 1 Pasuruan berupaya mengalokasikan dana untuk memberikan bantuan pendidikan kepada siswa dilingkungan MAN 1 Pasuruan dari keluarga tidak mampu dan bagi mereka yang memiliki prestasi tinggi pada bidang akademik maupun non akademik. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan rekomendasi siapa saja siswa yang layak untuk menerima beasiswa dari Madrasah. Kriteria yang digunakan untuk menilai kelayakan siswa memperoleh beasiswa terdiri dari, pertama adalah jumlah penghasilan orang tua (C1), kedua tanggungan keluarga (C2), ketiga penggunaan alat transportasi ke sekolah (C3), keempat nilai rapot (C4), kelima prestasi yang dicapai (C5) dan keenam kepemilikan tempat tinggal (C6). Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah Fuzzy Analytic Hierarcy Process (FAHP) karena metode tersebut adalah gabungan dari metode AHP dan pendekatan konsep fuzzy, FAHP menutupi kelemahan yang terdapat pada AHP, yaitu permasalahan terhadap kriteria yang memiliki sifat subjektif lebih banyak. Berdasarkan hasil analisa perhitungan tingkat kepentingan, temuan penelitian memberikan bobot prioritas kriteria jumlah jumlah penghasilan orang tua (C1=0.20), bobot prioritas kriteria tanggungan keluarga (C2=0.13), bobot prioritas kriteria penggunaan alat transportasi ke sekolah (C3=0.12), bobot prioritas kriteria nilai rapot (C4=0.20), bobot prioritas kriteria prestasi yang dicapai (C5=0.20) dan bobot prioritas kriteria kepemilikan tempat tinggal (C6=0.16). Kontribusi penelitian ini sebagai pertimbangan bagi Kepala Madrasah untuk menentukan kebijakan terhadap pemberian beasiswa Madrasah untuk siswa yang tidak mampu dan berprestasi karena terbatasnya kuota pendanaan yang tersedia

Decisions usually involve the getting the best solution, selecting the suitable experiments, most appropriate judgments, taking the quality results etc., using some techniques.  Every decision making can be considered as the choice from the set of alternatives based on a set of criteria.  The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process is a multi-criteria decision making and is dealing with decision making problems through pairwise comparisons mode [10].  The weight vectors from this comparison model are obtained by using extent analysis method.  This paper concern with an alternate method of finding the weight vectors from the original fuzzy AHP decision model (moderate fuzzy AHP model), that has the same rank as obtained in original fuzzy AHP and ideal fuzzy AHP decision models.

The production levels of agriculture have remained low in eastern region of India mainly due to lack of location-specific production technologies, natural calamities like floods, water logging, drought, inadequate timely supply of critical inputs and social constraints. Bihar is one of the important agrarian states of Eastern India. The crop yields are low and almost stagnating in Bihar compared to the north-western and other parts of the country. To improve the productivity in this region mechanization of farms is of critical importance. The farm power availability in Bihar in 2017 is 2.80 kW/ha and is more than the national average of 2.03 kW/ha. Still there are 14 districts in Bihar which is below national average. The number of marginal farmers has increased from 84.18 to 91.21 during 2014-17, an increase of 7.03 percent. Increase in Small and fragmented land will further hindrance the farm mechanization process. The present study was conducted to understand dynamics of farm power availability in Bihar, so as to take substantial measures for improved mechanization and in turn crop productivity in the region.

The Thai aquaculture sector faces a range of production, market and financial risks that extend beyond the private space of farms to include public spaces and shared resources. The Thai state has attempted to manage these shared risks through its Plang Yai (or ‘Big Area’) agricultural extension program. Using the lens of territorialization, this paper investigates how, through the Plang Yai program, risk management is institutionalized through spatially explicit forms of collaboration amongst farmers and between farmers and (non-)state actors. We focus on how four key policy instruments brought together under Plang Yai delimited multiple territories of risk management over shrimp and tilapia production in Chantaburi and Chonburi provinces. Our findings demonstrate how these policy instruments address risks through dissimilar but overlapping territories that are selectively biased toward facilitating the individual management of production risks, whilst enabling both the individual and collective management of market and financial risks. This raises questions about the suitability of addressing aquaculture risks by controlling farmer behavior through state-led designation of singular, spatially explicit areas. The findings also indicate the multiple roles of the state in territorializing risk management, providing a high degree of flexibility, which is especially valuable in landscapes shared by many users, connected to (global) value chains and facing diverse risks. In doing so we demonstrate that understanding the territorialization of production landscapes in a globalizing world requires a dynamic approach recognizing the multiplicity of territories that emerge in risk management processes.
