The idea of multi-attribute decision making (MADM) has extensively been studied in the real life decision making and is of disquiet to researchers and proprietors. The leading purpose is to make accessible a complete solution by guessing and ranking alternatives based on differing attributes with respect to decision makers (DMs) choices and has broadly been used in engineering, economics, medical diagnoses and management. Acquiring sufficient and accurate data for practical decision making is difficult because of the high complexity of socioeconomics. In response to this issue, Zadeh [63] introduced the concept of fuzzy set, which has been widely used in many fields in our modern society. However, the fuzzy set theory is discreetly different with some limitations while decision makers suggest to deal with some ambiguous information convinced from numerous causes of vagueness, the attributes elaborate in decision making problems are not constantly specified in real numbers and roughly are enhanced, suitable to be represented by fuzzy values, for instance interval values (IVs) [8], linguistic variables (LVs) [19], intuitionistic fuzzy values (IFVs) [4, 5] and hesitant fuzzy elements (HFEs) [44, 45] Dual hesitant fuzzy elements (DHFEs) [6969], Pythagorean fuzzy values (PFVs) [ 59, 60], just to reference a few. This thesis consist of eight chaptersIn chapter one, we present some basic definitions such as aggregation operators, fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, hesitant fuzzy sets, Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy sets and intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy sets. The study of this chapter is the building block for our further study. In chapter two, we introduce the concept of Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy set (PHFS) as a generalization of intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy set (IHFS). The PHFS is characterized as a membership degree and a non-membership degree and full fill the condition that the square sum of the membership degrees is less than or equal to one. We define some basic operation for PHFS and discuss some properties of Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy numbers (PHFNs). We define score and deviation degree for the comparison between the PHFNs. We define a distance measure between PHFNs. On the bases of proposed operation we develop Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy aggregation operators namely, Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy weighted averaging (PHFWA) operator, Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy weighted geometric (PHFWG) operator, Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (PHFOWA) operator and Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy ordered weighted geometric (PHFOWG) operator. We study some properties such as idempotency, monotonicity and boundedness of the developed operators. We develop the maximizing deviation method for solving multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems, in which the evaluation information provided by the decision makers (DMs) is expressed in Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy numbers and the information about attribute weights is incomplete. Moreover we present a MADM approach based on the developed operators. Furthermore a numerical is given to show the validity and practicality of the proposed method. Finally we compare the proposed approaches with existing methods.In chapter three, we develop generalized aggregation operators for Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy information namely generalized Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy weighted averaging (GPHFWAλ) operator, generalized Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy weighted geometric (GPHFWGλ) operator, generalized Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (GPHFOWAλ) operator, generalized Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy ordered weighted geometric (GPHFOWGλ) operator. We discuss some relationship between Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy numbers and the develop aggregation operators. Moreover we present a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) approach based on the developed operators. Finally a numerical is given to show the validity and practicality of the proposed method.In chapter four, we develop hybrid aggregation operators for Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy information namely, Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy hybrid weighted averaging (PHFHWA) operator, Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy hybrid weighted geometric (PHFHWG) operator generalized Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy hybrid weighted averaging (GPHFHWAλ) operator and generalized Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy hybrid weighted geometric (GPHFHWGλ) operator. These developed operators can weight both the argument and their ordered positions. Also some numerical examples are given to illustrate the developed operators. Moreover we develop a multiattribute group decision making (MAGDM) approach based on the proposed operators. Finally, we give a numerical example to show the effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed method.In chapter five, we develop Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy Choquet integral averaging (PHFCIA) operator, Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy Choquet integral geometric (PHFCIG) operator, generalized Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy Choquet integral averaging (GPHFCIAλ) operator and generalized Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy Choquet integral geometric (GPHFCIGλ) operator. We also discuss some properties such as idempotency, monotonicity and boundedness of the developed operators. Moreover we apply the developed operators to multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problem to show the validity and effectiveness of the developed operators. Finally a comparison analysis is given. In chapter six, we propose a novel approach based on Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method and the maximizing deviation method for solving multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems where the evaluation information provided by the decision maker is expressed in Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy numbers and the information about attribute weights is incomplete. To determine the attribute weight we develop an optimization model based on maximizing deviation method. Finally we provide a practical decision-making problem to demonstrate the implementation process of the proposed method.In chapter seven, we proposed a broad new extension of classical VIKOR method for multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems with Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy information. Basically VIKOR method of compromise ranking determines a compromise solution, which provides a maximum "group utility" for the "majority" and a minimum of an "individual regret" for the "opponent" and is an effective tool to solve MADM problems. To do this first we give some basic definitions and analogous concepts, and the basic steps of classical VIKOR method are introduced. Different situations of attribute weight information are considered. If attribute weights are partly known a linear programming model is set up based on the idea that reasonable weights should make the relative closeness of each alternative evaluation value to the Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy positive ideal solution as large as possible. If attribute weights are unknown completely, an optimization model is set up based on the maximum deviation method. We describe a MADM problem and present the steps of VIKOR method under the Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy environment. Finally a numerical example is presented to illustrate feasibility and practical advantages of the proposed method.In chapter eight, we extend an acronym in Portuguese for Interactive Multi-Criteria Decision Making (TODIM) method to solve the MADM problems under Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy environment. First we introduce Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy Euclidean distance and then Pythagorean hesitant fuzzy TODIM approach is proposed for MADM problems. To show the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method an energy policy selection problem has been given.

الأسس والقرائن المنهجية الحديثية لتحقق العلم بالخبر: دراسة استقرائية في مصادر المصطلح وأقوال النقّاد

        The research methodology represents a scientific feature that highlights its manifestations and its fruits according to the nature and results of the methodology; this shows the intellectual contribution and impact on the advancement of human civilization in the scientific field.  The methodology of Muhaddithin provided an innovative and practical approach about the certainty of narations which they had devised and applied.           The question is: what is the way to document the narrations? To answer this question needs to refer to the books of sciences of Hadith, and when looking at these books shows that they are addressing this issue under different topics.           But the knowledge of narrations in terms of the factors pertaining to certainty is not covered in special sub title, but there are hints scattered in different places in the books of sciences of Hadith. There is still a need to address the issue comprehensively in all aspects relating the factors of certainty, Hence the goal of the research from the next two points 1- Exploration the foundations and factors pertaining to the certainty about the narrations. 2- Highlight the methodological innovation according to Muhaddithin in this regard. The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive overview of Methodological Bases and warranting Circumstances for Sunnah Authentication.

Genetic Analysis for Desirable Attributes in Popcorn

Quantification of genetic attributes including gene action, heterotic behavior, heritability estimates, phenotypic and genotypic associations are important statistical tools in progressive breeding programs. The genetic material includes eight diverse popcorn inbred lines in which four were selected on the basis of phenotypic variation. Two of the four parents were developed from indigenous popcorn material, while the other two were of exotic (Bangladesh). Parental inbred lines were crossed to get four F1 crosses. These F1 crosses were selfed to generate F2and back crossed with their female and male parents to obtained, BC1 and BC2, respectively. In such way total genetic material synthesized in this study include four each of parents, F1s, F2s, BC1s and BC2s. These generations were evaluated at two locations i.e. Cereal Crops Research Institute (CCRI), Pirsabak, Nowshehra and The University of Agriculture (UOA), Peshawar. At both locations the experimental material was replicated thrice in randomized complete block design. Data recorded were analyzed using combined analysis of variance. Combined analysis of variance in all four crosses, revealed non-significant genotype × location interactions in days to tasseling, silking, anthesis, ear length, fresh ear weight, kernel rows ear-1, grains row-1, grains ear-1 and % unpopped grains, while rest traits exhibited significant genotype × location interactions in some crosses. Significant genotype × location interactions were observed for ear diameter in all crosses. Generation mean analysis indicated that in all crosses dominant gene action was predominantly important in the inheritance of both days to tasseling, anthesis and silking. The additive gene effect was found to be negative in these crosses but significant except PS-Pop-29-2-1 x BD- Pop-2-1-2 for anthesis. The digenic non-allelic epistasis of additive x dominance and dominance x dominance was considered the major contributing factor in the inheritance of days to anthesis in cross PS-1 x BD-2 and PS-2 x BD-2. Duplicate type of epistasis was observed in cross PS-1 × BD-1 for days to anthesis and silking, while complementary epistasis was observed in cross PS-1 x BD-2. Similarly, dominant gene actions were positive and significant in all crosses except, PS-2 × BD-1 (-9.16) for plant and ear height. Duplicate type of epistasis was observed for ear height in both cross PS-1 × BD-1 and PS-1 × BD-2, while in cross PS-2 × BD-1 and PS-2 × BD-2 complementary epistasis was found. On the basis of these results, it can beconcluded that crosses in which additive gene effects were high, could be improved effectively in subsequent generations. For grain yield and related traits dominant gene action was positively significant in all crosses, indicating that the parental populations could be effectively utilized in hybrid development programs. Broad sense heritability estimates for all the studied characters varied from moderate to high level, while narrow sense heritability ranged from low to high in all crosses. Maximum broad sense heritability estimates for days to tasseling (0.76 and 0.76) and anthesis (0.84 and 0.83) were observed in crosses PS-1 × BD-2 and PS-2 × BD-2, respectively.Maximum narrow sense heritability estimates for days to anthesis (0.67 and 0.57) and silking (0.67 and 0.58) were observed in cross PS-1 × BD-2 and PS-2 × BD-2, respectively. High broad sense (0.82) and narrow sense (0.62) heritability estimates calculated for grain yield were observed in cross PS-2 × BD-1 and Cross PS-1 × BD-1, respectively.Grain yield related attributes exhibited high broad sense heritability, while narrow sense heritability estimates for these traits varied from moderate to high levels, which indicate greater contribution of the genetic portion in the inheritance. Quality parameter, expansion volume revealed maximum broad sense heritability of 0.76 and narrow sense heritability of 0.50 for cross PS-1 × BD-1 and PS-2 × BD-1, respectively. Heterotic levels both, mid parent and better parent were negative for flowering characters in all crosses. Maximum negative mid- and better parent heterosis of -7.15 and -3.77 for days to tasseling was observed in cross PS-1 × BD-1 and PS-2 × BD-1, respectively. In cross PS-2 × BD-1, maximum negative mid- and better parent heterosis were observed for days to anthesis (-6.74 and -3.65) and silking (-6.48 and -3.40). Heterotic levels both, mid parent and better parent were positive and high in magnitude for grain yield and all related attributes. Cross PS-1 × BD-2, exhibited maximum mid- (80.73) and better (62.74) heterotic values for grain yield. Maximum mid- and better parent heterotic values are indication of dominance gene actions in all four crosses. Genetic and phenotypic association of flowering characteristics with grain yield were negative in nature, while yield related attributes were positively correlated with grain yield. Grain yield was positively correlated with plant height, while negatively correlated with ear height in two crosses. Quality trait of expansion volume was negatively associated with grain yield. Based on our results, it would be wise to use those parents in hybrid crosses which exhibited both additive and dominant gene actions coupled with high narrow sense heritability estimates and having strong relationship along with high heterotic levels for most of the grain yield related traits. Although all the F1 hybrids were superior but the PS-2 x BD-2 was outstanding for grain yield. Therefore, this cross can be recommended for commercial cultivation. Both popping expansion and percent of unpopped grains was positively and significantly controlled by dominant genes in two of the four crosses, while in the other two crosses dominant gene actions were negative in nature.
