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 …

Integrating Satellite Observations And Modeling Approaches To Study Tectonic And Land Surface Hazards, Jeng Hann Chong

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The increasing availability of Earth observation satellites, such as SAR and optical platforms, has improved our ability to study the ground deformation processes during, after, and leading up to these natural hazards, such as earthquakes and debris flows. In this dissertation, I analyze satellite geodetic interseismic velocities across the Rakhine-Bangladesh megathrust and the influence of having realistic modeling assumptions for subduction zones to better constrain seismic hazard. I also examined changes in post-fire debris flow likelihood four years after the 2020 Lake Fire in Southern California using a suite of satellite data and field observations. Together, these studies highlight how …

Financial Dynamics Of Cooperatives Of The Popular And Solidarity Economy Of Ecuador: An Analysis Using The Tucker3 Model And Projection With Multidimensional Neutrosophic Regression, Gabriela Valeria Bustos–Chiliquinga, Purificación Galindo-Villardón, Cristian Cornejo Gaete

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This study relies on the Tucker3 model as a factorization model of multivariate analyses since the goal is to evaluate the financial dependency structure of Ecuador's cooperative sector of the Popular and Solidarity Economy (PSE) between 2016–2023. A population sample of 25 cooperatives belonging to segment 1 was analyzed in terms of their behavior across seven significant financial variables for eight consecutive years, factoring into a 25×7×8 tensor. Relative to variances in behavior, the ultimate benefits of some entities become clear as high profitability and sound liquidity trends emerge over time; yet for others, high delinquency and non-growth levels emerge. …

Analysis Of Customer Perception Of A New Product Using The Neutrosophic Biplot Method, Purificación Galindo-Villardón

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This paper sought to propose and apply the Neutrosophic Biplot analysis method to understand consumer perception of a new technological product with uncertain attributes while addressing the shortcomings that a conventional approach would present. Data was collected through a survey experiment with neutrosophic rating scales where 50 subjects slid on one scale to indicate how much they agreed (A), were neutral, or indifferent (I), and disagreed (D) about each of the eight features of a new smartphone they received. A neutrosophic data matrix was formed and converted into a real-valued matrix using a scoring function, allowing for the application of …

Analysis Of The Evolution Of Expert Opinion On Sustainability Policies Through The Neutrosophic Statis Method, Purificación Vicente Galindo

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Yet the problem of evaluating sustainability policies over time stems from needing to monitor the changing nature of expert agreement needed for dependency-based improvements in the environment. While this is undoubtedly helpful for relatively sustainable action, easier said than done requires methodological systems to assess how agreement grows and solidifies. Here it should be noted that the conventional STATIS approach, while successful in multivariate assessment, lacks the capacity to evaluate expert assessments factoring uncertainty, indeterminacy, and subjectivity. Therefore, this research goes on to fill this void with the neutrosophic STATIS method applied to a panel of experts assessing ten (10) …

Design Of A Maintenance Protocol Based On Bipolar Neutrosophic Analysis For Severe Depression, Karina Alejandra Álvarez Lino

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Severe depression has been one of the leading causes of disability worldwide and maintains a high risk of relapses even after successful treatment, especially in medium-sized cities in Latin America. Therefore, this study focused on the design of a clinical maintenance protocol based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), aimed at young adults residing in Ambato, Ecuador, who had previously received Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). To this end, a bipolar neutrosophic analysis of depression was conducted to determine the attributes that impact the identified patients and define the design of the proposal. The designed protocol was structured into eight group sessions, …

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 …

Evaluating Lawyers' Perceptions Of Cryptocurrency Regulation In Ecuador Using Plithogenic Statistics And An Indeterminate Likert Scale, Rene Estalin Portilla Paguay, Jairo Mauricio Puetate Paúcar, Vanessa Lisseth Montenegro Altamirano

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

An issue worthy of exploration is how lawyers view crypto currency regulation in Ecuador because many factors could take place to facilitate effective policy under an uncertain and complex present state. Thus, the overarching problem this study seeks to resolve is that without consideration of the lawyer's point of view to gauge present regulatory action, a large gap exists from the angel of the gap that prevents regulation from being at the level it's supposed to be. Therefore, undertaking the consideration of how these professionals view the matter will help avoid missteps in establishing a more effective policy or corrective …

Neutrosophic Evaluation Of Sentiments Through Neutroalgebra Applied To The Use Of The Mediation Record As A Means For Lifting Precautionary Measures In Child Support Proceedings, Marcelo Raúl Dávila Castillo, Jessica Johanna Santander Moreno, Rosa Evelyn Chugá Quemac

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This is a study of perception and effectiveness of mediation to remove cautionary measures in child support proceedings. This is based on an assessed need within family law. This was an attempt to assess the mechanism via those who know law and mediation and justice to an extent as the predictions do not rely upon prior assessments. This assesses whether the mediation is ethical/legal/social for conflict resolution wherein it's not just warring adults; minors are at stake. Why is this topical? More and more people want this natural approach to attract judicial efficiency while simultaneously, de facto wellbeing. In this …

Neutrosophic-Logistic Hybrid Model To Evaluate The Effectiveness Of Penitentiary Policies And Their Impact On Criminal Recidivism In Ecuador, Ignacio Fernando Barcos Arias, Jennifer Angelina Almagro Triana, Ariana Michelle Mazacón Campoverde, Jason Guayaquil Cobo

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This study aims to develop a hybrid model that combines neutrosophic logic with logistic regression to evaluate the effectiveness of prison policies in Ecuador and their impact on criminal recidivism. The central problem lies in the inefficiency of the Ecuadorian prison system, characterized by high levels of intra-prison violence, deficiencies in rehabilitation and social reintegration programs, and a rising recidivism rate among inmates. This situation is exacerbated by the employment discrimination that ex-offenders face when reintegrating into society, which limits their opportunities and encourages the repetition of criminal behavior. The methodology applied was a mixed approach, with a non-experimental cross-sectional …

Improving Quality In Service Processes Through The Strategic Implementation Of The Servqual Neutrosophic Statistical Model, Carlos Esteban Reyes Sanchez, Angel Vinicio Valencia Ramos, Paola Fernanda Castillo Castillo

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This is a relative service quality assessment with a process optimization quality of life approach comparison as quality is a competitive advantage in service based organizational efforts. This is a relative service quality assessment with a process optimization quality of life approach comparison new due to implementation. The problem is that quality is a competitive advantage for organizations in modern society with a focus on service based organizational efforts. When human populations experience service, there are always adaptive, and many times, need based expectations for successful service delivery; therefore, new implementation processes take developmental consideration. However, prior research does not …

Neutrosophic Psychological Profiles In Habeas Corpus: An Analysis Of Judicial Indeterminacy, Esther Maricela Coello Avilés, Kevin Luis Flores Vega, Josselyn Bryggitte Vilela Verdezoto

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This study investigates the psychological influences, particularly indeterminacy, on judges' and lawyers' decisions regarding habeas corpus, an area underexplored in legal psychology which traditionally focuses on cognitive bias and emotional processing. Employing Neutrosophic Psychology, the research utilized semi-structured interviews and neutrosophic questionnaires with 60 legal practitioners to analyze their levels of acceptance, rejection, and indeterminacy. The findings reveal significant indeterminacy in granting or denying habeas corpus, fueled by a persistent tension between sympathetic and conservative leanings. Key impactful variables identified include existential factors, social pressures, and personal values. Ultimately, the study validates Neutrosophic Psychology as an applicable framework in the …

Neutrosophic Assessment Of Evidence In Cases Of Divorce Due To Adultery: An Application Of The Owa-Topsis Model To The Evidentiary Obstacle In The Ecuadorian Legal System, Jason Humberto Ruiz Silva, Esther Maricela Coello Avilés, Vanessa Josefa Hernández Alvarado

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The current research resolves an internal issue of the Ecuadorian legal system: the assessment of evidence for divorce by adultery, an unjust approach since it cannot always be evidenced properly. Thus, when judges have the power to rule, their authority is compromised since one of the most crucial elements of adjudicatory due process is equity, and equity stems from objectivity. Unfortunately, we see subjectivity here stemming from the uncertainty and indeterminacy relative to such evidence. While much literature exists relative to the analysis of judicial determination, little evolution occurs relative to a solid approach that incorporates such uncertainty and indeterminacy …

Current Situation Of The Integration Of Neutrosophy In Requirements Engineering, Franklin Parrales-Bravo, Roberto Tolozano-Benites, Leonel Vasquez-Cevallos, Leili Lopezdominguez-Rivas

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This study conducts a comprehensive literature review to explore the integration of neutrosophic logic in Requirements Engineering (RE), addressing challenges such as uncertainty, ambiguity, and conflicting stakeholder perspectives. By systematically analyzing peer-reviewed studies from 2015 to 2024, the research synthesizes existing neutrosophic techniques—including Type-2 Neutrosophic Numbers (T2NNs), Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps (NCMs), and Single-Valued Neutrosophic Sets (SVNS)—and categorizes their applications into uncertainty handling, conflict resolution, and requirement prioritization. The study highlights neutrosophy’s transformative potential in enhancing RE practices, offering robust solutions beyond traditional methods. Additionally, it identifies underexplored techniques like Bipolar Neutrosophic Sets (BNS) and Neutrosophic Rough Sets (NRS) for future …

Structural Equilibrium In Universities: Quality, Finance And Sustainability From An Empirical Perspective: An Integrative Analysis With Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps, Claudio Ruff, Herminia Gavilán, Juliana Vassileva, Bastián Gutiérrez

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This study explores the structural relationships between institutional financial health and academic quality in Chilean higher education institutions (HEIs) by applying multivariate tools such as the dynamic HJ- Biplot and fixed-effects regression models for panel data, complemented by neutrosophic cognitive maps (NCMs). Using data from the 2016–2023 period, differentiated institutional trajectories are analyzed based on their membership in free tuition policies, university type (CRUCH, private), and financial structure. The results show that variables such as student retention, physical infrastructure, and academic training significantly influence key financial indicators such as liquidity, leverage, and operating margin. NCMs reveal degrees of indeterminacy in …
