Modeling Influenced Criteria In Classifiers' Imbalanced Challenges Based On Trss Bolstered By The Vague Nature Of Neutrosophic Theory, Ibrahim El-Henawy, Shrouk El-Amir, Mona Mohamed, Florentin Smarandache

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Because of the advancements in technology, classification learning has become an essential activity in today's environment. Unfortunately, through the classification process, we noticed that the classifiers are unable to deal with the imbalanced data, which indicates there are many more instances (majority instances) in one class than in another. Identifying an appropriate classifier among the various candidates is a time-consuming and complex effort. Improper selection can hinder the classification model's ability to provide the right outcomes. Also, this operation requires preference among a set of alternatives by a set of criteria. Hence, multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methodology is the appropriate …

A Python Framework For Neutrosophic Sets And Mappings, Giorgio Nordo, Saeid Jafari, Arif Mehmood, Bhimraj Basumatary

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

In this paper we present an open source framework developed in Python and consisting of three distinct classes designed to manipulate in a simple and intuitive way both symbolic representations of neu trosophic sets over universes of various types as well as mappings between them. The capabilities offered by this framework extend and generalize previous attempts to provide software solutions to the manipulation of neutrosophic sets such as those proposed by Salama et al. [21], Saranya et al. [23], El-Ghareeb [7], Topal et al. [29] and Sleem [26]. The code is described in detail and many examples and use cases …

The Effects Of Moderate Prenatal Alcohol Exposure On Navigation In A Delayed Non- Match-To-Place Spatial Alternation Task By Adult Male And Female Rats, Gabriela Acosta

Psychology ETDs

Prenatal alcohol exposure has been found to alter brain regions involved in spatial memory. Previous studies have shown that moderate PAE (mPAE; ~30-120 mg/dL) impairs spatial memory in male rats and damages the limbic-thalamus and hippocampus. Recent work has shown that visual discrimination memory is impaired after mPAE in a sex-specific manner such that female mice exhibit greater deficits after 15sec delay. It is unclear whether similar-sex-specific deficits would be observed in a spatial memory task or in a rat model of mPAE. Thus, the present study tests the hypothesis that mPAE would produce sex-specific deficits in a delayed non-match-to-place …

Rethinking Rights In A Disappearing Penumbra: How To Expand Upon Reproductive Rights In Court After Dobbs, Joshua J. Schroeder

New Mexico Law Review

In 2022, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Org. overruled Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. The Dobbs Court suggested that future cases should similarly overrule other judicially protected rights including the right to marry interracially, to access contraceptives, and to have sex the way you like. The novel grounds Dobbs used to overrule Roe and Casey that might spread to other pro-rights case law was an ad hoc Janus v. AFSCME cost-benefit balancing test. Prior to Dobbs, the liberal wing of the U.S. Supreme Court believed that the Court could use cost-benefit balancing tests to safeguard certain judicially …

A Return To Rationality: Restoring The Rule Of Law After Daubert's Disastrous U-Turn, Andrew Jurs, Scott Devito

New Mexico Law Review

Consistency and rationality are central to the legitimacy of the modern court system. Considerable recent attention has been focused on the Court’s overturning of established precedent on abortion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. Yet, as we empirically demonstrate, the courts, through the decisions of individual judges over thirty years, have reversed the meaning of the Daubert standard for admission of scientific evidence, thereby threatening the legitimacy of the very heart of the civil justice system. In the initial years after the Daubert decision, litigants saw its reliability standard as a stricter standard than the previously used Frye “general …

The Historical Development Of The Concept Of Forced Labor And The Open Boundaries Of Its Definition Today, Christopher M. Roberts

New Mexico Law Review

This article considers the steps taken on the international level in the 1920s and 30s to define the terms through which freedom and unfreedom in the context of labor might be understood, the manner in which understandings of forced labor have subsequently evolved, and the parameters and potentials of the concept today. The first section explores the history of the 1926 Slavery Convention; the nature of coercive labor in colonized states in the inter-war period; the drafting processes and coverage of the 1930 Forced Labour Convention; the Convention’s accompanying recommendations; and subsequent developments in the legal definition of forced labor. …

Don't Swab Me!: Limitations Of The Genetic Information Privacy Act In The Modern Genetic Testing Landscape, Ibrahim Al-Gahmi

New Mexico Law Review

In an age where consumers can easily obtain genetic tests by simply sending a saliva or cheek swab sample through the mail and learn more than ever about their DNA and its genetic makeup, it is imperative that measures are established to provide consumers with both control and protection to the privacy of their submitted biological sample and analyzed genetic data. Currently, the landscape of genetic testing, and the resulting genetic information, is regulated by one law in New Mexico. The Genetic Information Privacy Act (NM-GIPA or Act), enacted in 1998, provides general prohibitions on the collection of genetic information …

The Myth Of Anonymity: De-Identified Data As Legal Fiction, Elodie Currier Stoffel

New Mexico Law Review

The unregulated collection, processing, and sale of consumer data has led to a plethora of social and legal issues. As regulators attempt to catch up with the “move fast and break things” ethos of tech innovation, “de-identified” or “anonymized” data has remained broadly unprotected. However, computer science literature shows us that “de-identified” data is a legal fiction. This Article examines the source of the de-identification fiction, analyzes the definitions in new state laws which attempt to close the loophole, tracks potential harms, and proposes a legislative solution which aims to ameliorate some of the legal fictions’ negative impacts. Part I …

Rule 11 Sanctions For Bad Discovery Advocacies, Jeffrey A. Parness, Alexandria N. Short

New Mexico Law Review

For over eighty years, Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure has authorized sanctions to combat frivolous legal arguments and factual allegations in some paper presentations. Since 1993, however, the rule has not applied to discovery. This article demonstrates how Rule 11 should be used to deter advocacy based on discovery that has “gone bad” since its initial disclosure. Disciplinary actions, malpractice claims, the discovery rules, and even the inherent sanctioning authority of the court are insufficient to deter lawyers from relying on now-bad discovery papers. Rule 11 would hold lawyers to a duty of reasonable inquiry before …

The Water Under The Bridge Is Darkening—An Analysis Of Copyright Law And The Prevalence Of Copyright Trolls, Daniel Berenger-Russell

New Mexico Law Review

In this time of modern technology and booming social media, the growth in intellectual property protection is no surprise. It logically follows that with more robust intellectual property protection there exists a greater chance of infringement. The likelihood of innocently infringing on a person’s registered copyright is at an all-time high. Due to the increased likelihood of innocent infringement, “copyright trolls” have emerged and developed unethical business tactics to prey off “innocent infringement.” Just like fairytale trolls who hide under bridges hoping to pester bystanders, copyright trolls also seek to burden peoples’ days. Not only do copyright trolls prey off …

A Neutrosophic Study For The Transmission Of Infection With Pathogenic Fungi From Males Of Olive Fly Insects To Their Females, Amani Alhabib, Rafif Alhabib, Huda E. Khalid, A. A. Salama

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This paper presents the study of the effectiveness of horizontal transfer of local isolates of the pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) on adults of olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) at a concentration of 106 spores/ml in laboratory conditions (this work was carried out in specialized scientific laboratories). In addition, it is not possible to reach the desired results in such experiments effectively when the data and observations of the study are not clear and accurate. For this reason, in this paper, experimental data will be presented with inaccurate or uncertain observations using neutrosophic statistics. The purpose is to know …

Evaluation Of Shortest Path On Multi Stage Graph Problem Using Dynamic Approach Under Neutrosophic Environment, Prasanta Kumar Raut, Siva Prasad Behera, Said Broumi, Amarendra Baral

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The shortest path problem is a classic optimization problem in graph theory and computer technology. It involves identifying the shortest path between two nodes in a graph, where each edge has a numerical weight. In this paper, we put our effort into examining the use of the dynamic programming method to evaluate the shortest path (SP) between the two specified nodes in a multistage network where the parameter is a multi-value neutrosophic number (MVNN). Firstly, we propose an algorithm based on the forward and backward approach in an uncertain environment and also implement our approach in the Python-3 programming language. …

Generating Neutrosophic Random Variables Following The Poisson Distribution Using The Composition Method ) The Mixed Method Of Inverse Transformation Method And Rejection Method), Maissam Jdid, Florentin Smarandache

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Simulation is a numerical technique used to perform tests on a numerical computer, and involves logical and mathematical relationships interacting with each other to describe the behavior and structure of a complex system in the real world over a period of time. Analysis using simulation is a "natural" and logical extension of the mathematical analytical models inherent in operations research, because most operations research methods depend on building mathematical models that closely approximate the real-world environment and we obtain the optimal solution for them using algorithms appropriate to the type of these models. The importance of the simulation process comes …

First, Do No Harm: One Medical School’S Approach To Designing And Implementing A Socially Accountable Global Track Of Distinction, Natalie Reid, Amy Clithero-Eridon, Cameron S. Crandall

HSC Education Days

Background

A socially accountable health professional curriculum aims to produce graduates competent in addressing priority health needs in diverse communities. Although parts of the UNM SOM curriculum address issues around health equity and cultural diversity, there is no formal curriculum training medical students to address global health (GH). Before designing our GH curriculum, we surveyed students to determine factors that may contribute to engagement.

Results

Nearly 98% of respondents were interested in GH, and 82% expressed interest in serving underserved populations. 88% of students with past GH experiences wanted to participate in an elective GH curriculum, which was statistically significant …

See One, Do One, Teach One - Trends In Resident Autonomy And Teaching Assistant Cases During General Surgery Residency In The United States: A Nationwide Retrospective Analysis, Amir Humza Sohail, Hoang Nguyen, Kevin Martinez, Samuel L. Flesner, Christian Martinez, Muhammad A. Quazi, Aman Goyal, Hassan Aziz

HSC Education Days

Introduction

Autonomy during residency is crucial to the training and development of confident, well-rounded surgeons in the operative room. One vital dimension of resident autonomy is teaching assistant (TA) cases, an indispensable opportunity for residents to gain confidence and hone intraoperative teaching skills. However, high-quality data on the volume and diversity of cases that most graduates perform are scarce.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was performed from publicly collected data of operative case logs from general surgery residents graduating from ACGME-accredited programs from 2006-2023. Data on the median overall number of surgeon chief and TA cases were retrieved. Collected data were …
