analytic hierarchy process

By going through the process of the past wars, we realize the fact that over time there have been drastic changes in the way of wars and we are witnessing the complexity and intelligence of wars. Different. It has been that by using the simultaneous and coordinated combination of people, national and supranational power in order to increase in the society with the aim of its sensitivities is trying to overthrow the government. For this reason, vigilance in front of the enemies is one of the system's duties. Therefore, the main purpose of the article is to answer the question, "What are the important components and indicators of the hybrid war against the Islamic Republic of Iran?" is the face A library of hope with the tools of determining these two methods and also by using the design of two questionnaires, which firstly specified the components and indicators of hybrid warfare in a general way, and then the important components and indicators used by the United States against the Islamic Republic of Iran from the second questionnaire. it's been chosen. In the next step, using the hierarchical analysis method, which is one of the most widely used research methods in operations, the importance of each of these indicators and components was obtained based on the opinions of experts and the target community. The findings and results of the research are to state that 10 components and 42 indicators have been selected as the most important components and indicators of hybrid warfare using Azromware as a pairwise comparison. The results obtained from this research are presented for the use of officials in order to target the enemy's hybrid warfare

The purpose of this study is applying Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to estimate technical coefficients of activities, which is suitable for foresight regional economy index by employing experts’ opinion. Regional economic foresight requires appraising all dimensions of development indices. World complex conditions demand adequate information and tools to rational development planning. In situation that rapid changes in political and social economic structure happen in short term, applying retrospective and static tools create enormous error on foresight.

This research has applied mixed (qualitative and quantitative) method. In this regards, technical coefficient table for Qazvin was developed through regular meeting with related administrations and stakeholder organizations in combination with country and provincial data.

The research outcomes pointed out that applying AHP will reduce costs and time in compare with existing methods.

Economic analyses based on input- output table have many benefits which make attraction for researchers, especially on general equilibrium model. In the other hand, those table will not afford in provincial level as preparing data and information for them is cost and time consuming. This research has been solve that problem

countries have different understandings of their technological needs. However, they all have one thing in common, which is their need for establishing, maintaining and improving technological capabilities. The main purpose of the present research is to compare Iran and several European countries with moderate levels of innovation in terms of technological capabilities. The research has also aimed at identifying the points that Iran should focus on in order to improve its technological capabilities. To that end, in the first phase, the available literature on technological capabilities was reviewed and indicators of technological capabilities were extracted. In the second phase, the data were extracted from international reports. In the third phase, the indicators identified for evaluating technological capabilities were weighed using analytic hierarchy process. In the fourth phase, the countries were ranked using TOPSIS, and the status of the Iran in terms of technological capabilities was identified in comparison with them in order to identify the points Iran should focus on in order to improve its technological capabilities. The results indicated that from among the ten countries studied, Italy, Spain, and Iran are the first three ones and Portugal, Ukraine, and Greece occupied the eighth, ninth, and tenth position.The results furthermore indicated that Iran has a suitable status in terms of scientific & technical articles, patents, tertiary education, and ICT infrastructure; however, in order to promote its technological capabilities, it should focus on producing high-tech products, the number of full-time researchers, and expenditure on research and development.

Ever since the nationalization of the Iranian oil industry, it has been regarded as one of the most important sources of national income. After the Islamic Revolution, the issue of oil has still been considered essential in regard to Government income. Thus, the enemies of the Islamic Revolution have attempted in different periods to sanction its oil to affect the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran, thereby weakening Islamic Iran. Despite the repetitive emphases on non-oil export, the Iranian oil industry is still regarded as an important national industry thereof. In recent years, this industry has not been exempted from the storm of comprehensive sanction against the Islamic Republic of Iran, aimed at by the sanction attacks of the United States of America and the European Union. The researchers sought to investigate the impacts of oil sanction on the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran with a focus on its main aspects including the military, political, economic, cultural, and social ones. In the first step, therefore, the positive and negative impacts of the sanctions were simultaneously identified and enumerated based on comments by experts in the field. They were prioritized in the second step using the analytic hierarchy Process (AHP), adopted for optimal utilization of the available facilities, time, and resources. Emphasizing the obtained priorities, the results of the research could guide many politicians and managers in that regard. It was demonstrated that the economic aspect of national security has been affected most by oil sanction, and the issues of inflation rise and budget deficit were weighted more by the expert comments than all the other national security aspect subcomponents.

This article aims to analyze the effect of economic sanctions on Iran, using worldwide experiments, also it provides scientific and practical strategies to cope with economic sanctions and prioritize these strategies. To this end, the authors use the theoretical foundations of economic sanctions and introduce 6 factors, as reductive factors of the effect of economic sanctions (namely; being gradual and permanent, oil revenue, using import substitution strategy for development, worldwide competition, lack of perfect accompaniment of emerging economies that are independent from sanctions, using exterritorial banking), and also introduce 8 factors, as enhancing factors of the effect of economic sanctions (namely; multilateral sanctions, closure of many routes to bypass sanctions, limited access to the international financial system, targeting oil revenue, synchronization of economic sanctions through the impact of economic transformation project, heavy reliance of domestic production on foreign technology, raw materials and intermediates, dependence of Iran′s currency system on the dollar and euro, lack of public opinion management). Finally, this study suggests 8 tangible strategies to cope with economic sanctions by taking into account the Islamic – Iranian ideals and mentioned factors. These strategies are based on reducing benefits and increasing costs of sanctioning parties and increasing the benefits and reducing the costs of target countries. At the end, it ranks and prioritizes suggested strategies using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP).
