The objective of this paper is to examine the determinants of the supplier selection process with green consideration. Thus, this analysis gathers a collection of factors from established literature of green supplier selection (GSS), including seven categories and 58 attributes. The objective of this research is to classify the key factors which are presented as qualitative information. Fuzzy logic rules are used to transform qualitative expert knowledge into numerical data. Then, we adopt the Delphi method (DM) to filter and rate unneeded factors according to their relevance. The results indicate 24 important factors for the GSS process. Five categories are included: Performance and technology ability, Environmental management, Pollution control, Quality and Service. The most significant factors are recognized as green research and development, eco-design, green image, green packaging and remanufacturing. Finally, the debate is held on the basis of the findings and future research are also recognized and stated.

The agricultural sector is directly affected by climate variables. The presence of climate variability causes a considerable risk to agricultural productivities. Thus, risk management is an alternative to reduce risks, including optimizing the allocation of farmland and choosing crop insurance for a specific planting date. The purpose of this study is to investigate the agricultural risk management through risk measure of climate variability using the Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) in rice production. This paper investigated several possible considerations of agricultural insurance premiums based on losses climate index. We concluded that the climate index insurance policy is the best choice that farmers can choose for each planting date, the higher the significance value considered, the more the value of Value-at-Risk and Conditional Value-at-Risk.

The ranking of decision-making units (DMUs) is one of the main issues in data envelopment analysis (DEA). Hence, many different ranking models have been proposed. However, each of these ranking models may produce different ranking results for similar problems. Therefore, it is wise to try different ranking models and aggregate the results of each ranking model that provides more reliable results in solving the ranking problems. In this paper, a novel ranking method (Aggregating the results of aggressive and benevolent models) based on the CRITIC method is proposed. To prove the applicability of the proposed ranking method, it is examined in three numerical examples, six nursing homes, fourteen international passenger airlines and seven biomass materials for processing into fuel briquettes. First, benevolent and aggressive models were used to calculate the efficiency rating for each DMU. As a result, the decision matrix was generated. In the decision matrix, the results of benevolent and aggressive models were viewed as criteria and DMUs were viewed as alternatives. Then, the weights of each criterion were generated by the CRITIC method. Finally, each DMU was ranked. In a comparative analysis, the proposed method can lead to achieving a more reliable decision than the method which is based on a stand-alone method.
