Abstract Global security threats have motivated organizations to adopt robust and reliable security systems to ensure the safety of individuals and assets. Biometric authentication systems offer a strong solution. However, choosing the best security system requires a structured decision-making framework, especially in complex scenarios involving multiple criteria. To address this problem, we develop a novel quantum spherical fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (QSF-TOPSIS) methodology, integrating quantum mechanics principles and fuzzy theory. The proposed approach enhances decision-making accuracy, handles uncertainty, and incorporates criteria relationships. Criteria weights are determined using spherical fuzzy sets,… More >

Abstract Information about the relative importance of each criterion or the weights of criteria can have a significant influence on the ultimate rank of alternatives. Accordingly, assessing the weights of criteria is a very important task in solving multi-criteria decision-making problems. Three methods are commonly used for assessing the weights of criteria: objective, subjective, and integrated methods. In this study, an objective approach is proposed to assess the weights of criteria, called SPC method (Symmetry Point of Criterion). This point enriches the criterion so that it is balanced and easy to implement in the process of… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In reality, the flipped classroom has gained popularity as a modern way of structuring teaching, where lectures move from in-class procedures to digitally-based assignments, freeing up the debate, and practice exercises class time. Therefore, it is essential to implement and analyze a way of teaching that will improve student performance. The paper aims to develop a model of the method of teaching science in Iraqi schools, and to assess whether teaching flipped classroom affects the achievement, motivation, and creative thinking of students by using the methodology of Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) in the Analytic Hierarchy… More >
