Squamous cell carcinoma in rare case of Huriez Syndrome: The role of distant flaps by A. Patrignani, D. Ribuffo, A Greco, F. Lo Torto, A. Pagnotta

“…The postoperative course for both reconstructive procedures was complication-free. Follow-up revealed not only an excellent reconstructive outcome but also highlighted the untapped potential of the flap in managing this condition: thanks to its independent vascularization, the flap remained unaffected by the surrounding diseased skin and significantly improved the scaly, atrophic appearance of the affected areas. …”

Research on Civil Aviation Airport Site Selection Considering Group Consensus Level Under Large-Scale Uncertain Information by Rui Wang, Jing-Han Zeng, Jing-Yang Huang, Rui Kang, Jiang Yuan, Qing-Wei Zhong

“…The method comprises five key processes: (1) Evaluation process: Based on the constructed multicriteria evaluation system for airport site selection, the q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy (q-ROF) information is employed to represent evaluations from large-scale decision makers, which effectively characterizes the uncertainty of information and broadens the evaluative scope. (2) Clustering process: A clustering procedure is designed for large-scale q-ROF evaluation data and weight information of criteria, identifying and removing outliers. (3) Consensus reaching process: Considering the characteristics of q-ROF evaluations and multiplicative preference relations, two adaptive consensus reaching algorithms are developed to enhance group consensus levels, thereby improving the rationality of decision-making results. (4) Weight determination process: Criteria and subcriteria weights are calculated using multiplicative preference weighting approach and a deviation maximization model, respectively, derived from aggregated group evaluations. (5) Ranking process: The q-ROF Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method is applied, in conjunction with the induced q-ROF information integration paradigm, to comprehensively rank the alternative sites. …”
