Application of dynamic systems modeling approach to rank optimal urban waste management strategies using SWOT method by Hamid Shahbandarzadeh, Mohammad Hossein Kabgani

“…First, we identified and modelled the factors affecting municipal waste production with dynamic systems. The reasons for using the dynamic systems approach for this research can also be enumerated as follows: 1) an appropriate approach in determining and predicting the effects of factors affecting waste production, 2) helping to understand the relationships between variables and examining the behaviour and structure of systems, incredibly complex systems (creating a conceptual model), 3) a flexible approach with the ability to analyze quantitatively and qualitatively, 4) the ability to review the system in the future under different scenarios and policies of decision makers and 5) dynamic system models are considered as simulation models; therefore, they have the advantages of using the simulation method over the analysis methods. …”

“…Three variables were evaluated: 1) Bite Force (BF) (measured in Newtons – N) presented as the average of the bite force from the right and left molars (x‾ RM + LM), using a gnathodynamometer (IDDK Kratos), 2) Masticatory Efficiency (ME) (ranging from 0 to 1, with values closer to 1 indicating poorer efficiency), assessed through a dual-color masticatory gum test analyzed visually and optoelectronically (ViewGum©), and 3) Masticatory Capacity (MC): patient-reported ability to chew, rated on a two-point scale (P/R = poor to reasonable, G/O = good to optimal). Results: In the PRE-ORTHOG phase, the BF for the CLP group (x‾ RM + LM = 285 ± 141) was significantly lower compared to the CON group (x‾ RM + LM = 524 ± 202). …”
