Using the TOPSIS method to select the best low-toxicity organic cosolvent for rice-based toxicity tests by Xingren Pan, Yi Kang, Jun-Feng Lu, Xiao-Zhang Yu

“…Three different weighting coefficients, namely entropy weight coefficients (EWCs), contribution factor coefficients (CFCs), and combination effective coefficients (CECs) were adopted to calibrate the initially created evaluation matrices. All estimations were judged by the relative closeness coefficients, in which the higher relative closeness value means the better solution to the optimal result. …”

Psychological readiness for innovative activity and the ability to self-management of the police chiefs by O. M. Voluiko

“…There were no relationships among law enforcement officers with a high degree of readiness, which led to the conclusion that such law enforcement officers with a higher level of readiness for innovative activity, are characterized by higher estimates of self-management indicators. It has been also established that law enforcement officers with a low level of readiness for innovative activity have an increase in the ability to correct the actual actions, characteristics of communication and behavioral patterns, as well as the system of self-management in general. …”

Ecological study of the association between the English national vaccination programme and area deprivation inequalities in COVID-19 mortality by Clare Bambra, Adam Todd, Fiona Matthews, David Sinclair, Natalie Bennett

“…Inequalities in cumulative mortality rates developed quickly, and while they stabilised and reduced, they did not disappear. We estimate that if vaccination rates in the most deprived areas had been the same as those in the least deprived, absolute disparity inequality would have been reduced from 118.9 per 100 000 (95% CI 117.0 to 120.7) to 40.2 (95% CI 3.7 to 76.7) at the end of 2022.Conclusions National COVID-19 vaccination strategies offer the potential to significantly reduce inequalities in COVID-19 mortality rates. …”

A Comprehensive Analysis for the Heterogeneous Effects on Driver Injury Severity in Single-Vehicle Passenger Car and SUV Rollover Crashes by Huiying Wen, Zuogan Tang, Yuchen Zeng, Kexiong Zhang

“…Crash data for the empirical analysis were extracted from Texas Crash Record Information System (CRIS) database during the year 2016. Model estimation results show that six variables (male drivers, drivers’ age, airbag deployment, failure to drive in single lane, speed limit, and rural area) were found to produce normally distributed parameters in passenger car model, while nine parameters (male drivers, safety belt use, airbag deployment, drug or alcohol use, failure to drive in single lane, improper evasive action, vehicle model year, friday, and rural area) in SUV model were found to be normally distributed. …”
