Sociocultural And Environmental Changes And Their Biological Impact On Nonelite Polish Individuals, Paige A. Lynch

Anthropology ETDs

This dissertation integrates isotopic, biodistance, and skeletal stress data from cemeteries, Gać and Pień to study health and survival in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (PLC). The PLC (16th–18th centuries) in Poland was marked by religious migration, social inequality, and environmental change. Chapter 2 used a multiproxy approach to identify migrant status: most at Pień were local, about half at Gać were migrants, often biologically related to locals. Chapter 3 used stable isotope analyses to find minimal sex-based dietary differences, except for Pień females’ higher millet intake, and showed that market access and feudal systems influenced subsistence strategies. Chapter 4’s survival analyses …

Analysis Of The Prevalence Of Dissociative Identity Disorder Using Neutrosophic Plithogenic Statistics, Verónica Elizabeth Saltos Paz, Tanya Elizabeth Borja Pante, Gloria Madaly Plasencia Álvarez, Milena Rodríguez Salcedo

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is one of the most enigmatic, intricate issues of contemporary psychiatry. It is challenging to assess how prevalent it is and what diagnosis means because dissociative identity disorder is a complicated disorder that manifests differently across populations. Yet when the disorder can be analyzed with statistically significant results from solid populations, critical advances in disorder awareness, treatment, and quality of life for those with IDD exist. Yet the literature does not provide such a statistical approach that will process uncertainty and vagueness based upon clinical observation of persons with DID. Therefore, this research attempts to apply …

Nahp For The Selection Of Analgesic Treatments In Third Molar Surgery, Mónica Sofia Pallo Sarabia, Lenin Rubén Imbacuán Jiménez, Marjorie Elizabeth Valdivieso Villacís, Ximena Pallo Sarabia

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The optimal selection of analgesics for third molar removal is a pressing concern due to patient-specific benefits and unknown ramifications of treatment efficacy. This is a major concern relative to dentistry and the health field in general because optimal analgesic selection minimizes postoperative adverse events and improves recovery and quality of life; improper selection does the opposite. Yet much of the research conducted fails to combine a systematic selection process with the uncertainty surrounding efficacy versus adverse events versus patient-related considerations. Therefore, this research uses a systematic approach via Neutrosophic Analytic Hierarchy Process (NAHP) which allows for true, indeterminate, and …

Neutrosophic Statistical Regression Models For Predicting The Incidence Of Nosocomial Infections In Post-Trauma Patients, Nairovys Gómez Martinez, Gerardo Ramos Serpa, Riber Fabian Donoso Noroña, Gloria Medina Naranjo

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The rationale for predicting nosocomial infections in post-trauma patients is based upon the ability to assess all relevant and subjectivity factors effectively for each individual. This research is currently relevant to public health because nosocomial infections are one of the most stubborn factors plaguing patients and health facilities alike. Therefore, it is timely and appropriate to be able to predict accurate and generalizable findings—yet the current literature does not utilize a predictive approach that considers the uncertainty and imprecision when clinicians encounter such clinical data. Therefore, this dissertation aims to fill that gap with a statistical-neutrosophic regression model which inherently …
