Simpler modified fried frailty scale as a practical tool to evaluate physical frailty: Methodological report for its cross-cultural adaptation and validation.
Frailty is a common geriatric syndrome that indicates homeostenosis and increased risk of disability and mor-tality. It is amenable to intervention when detected. Hence, screening frailty is of utmost importance to preserve quality-of-life and function in older age. Simpler Modified Fried Frailty Scale is a very practical frailty screening tool that has recently been introduced and has rooted from the original Fried Scale. It is developed in Turkish and has been shown to predict mortality in nursing home residents. Considering the variety of languages in Europe, it seems valid to adapt and validate this tool in different European languages. Thereby, it is expected that clinicians will have the possibility to screen for frailty more quickly and easily in their practice across many countries. This report is written to explain the details of the final consensus methodology suggested for Simpler Modified Fried Frailty Scale validation in order to guide and help the research teams in their studies

Risk Assessment of WtE Plants by Using a Modified Fuzzy SCEA Approach
With the increasing sustainability concerns, energy production from waste has also come to the fore as well as recycling and reuse. Since there are various materials processed by waste to energy (WtE) plants and several types of equipment used in different processes, there are different sources of risks in these plants. It is important to determine and prioritize these risks in order to effectively manage them by taking the necessary precautions. However, the risk evaluation process mostly depends on expert judgments which contain uncertainty. Therefore, in this study, after risks in a WtE plant are categorized, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to obtain probability, severity, frequency, and detectability weights of these risks. Then, the risks are prioritized by using these weights in safety and critical effect analysis (SCEA). It was revealed that the most critical risk is "inappropriate storage of waste load" , followed by "heat generated by failing bearings on various plant items" and "the dust generated when processing and sizing waste material"
