Representation Of Motivational Dynamics In School Environments Through Plithogenic N-Superhypergraphs With Family Participation, Nelly Hodelín Amable, Elizabeth Esther Vergel De Salazar, Martha Gloria Martínez Isaac, Olivia Catalina Olavarría Sánchez, Johanna Mariuxi Solís Palma

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The study aimed to expand on motivational phenomena that transpires at the school level via Plithogenic n-SuperHyperGraphs via family guidance as one of the dominant features in establishing effective school/motivational environments. The study was conducted via a mixed-method quantitative and qualitative approach, including a questionnaire sent to parents/students, semi-structured interviews with teachers, and an observational approach for the grounded theory. All data were reflected via Plithogenic n-SuperHyperGraphs due to the interconnectedness of phenomena of motivation and pedagogical approaches and family guidance. The analysis of the study suggests that more motivated students are those who have more guided parents as they …

A Neutrosophic–Fsqca Framework For Strategic School Management: Superset And Coincidence Analyses Of Student Social Competence, Claudio Ruff Escobar, Jorge Ruff Faundes, Marcelo Ruiz, Cristián Cornejo, Aleksandra Michenkova, Luis Benites, Juliana Vassileva, Alexis Matheu Pérez

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This study proposes a neutrosophic–fsQCA framework to analyze strategic school management under conditions of uncertainty. Using data from 20 educators at the Colegio Bicentenario Louis Pasteur in Ecuador, neutrosophic Likert scales were applied to capture perceptions of interpersonal communication (IC), social interaction experiences (SIE), self-esteem and self-efficacy (SS), and their influence on students’ social competence (ECS). The neutrosophic triplets (T, I, F) were transformed into fuzzy sets through a fuzzification process, enabling subsequent Qualitative Comparative Analysis. Two complementary procedures were conducted: a superset analysis to assess necessary and sufficient conditions, and a coincidence analysis to explore overlap among conditions. Results …

Technarrative Model (Ntm) For The Symbolic-Emotional Evaluation Of Architectural Space: A Neutrosophic Multiperspectivism Approach, Jesús Rafael Hechavarría-Hernández, Ana María Padrón-Medina, Erika Ascencio Jordán

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This research answers the need to evaluate an architectural space from a non-technical standpoint relative to its symbolism/emotion charge that is not taken into account by the design/planning of such public spaces. This research problem is sociologically relevant as today; architecture does not only dictate the layout of the physical world but also the group existence, sensitivity to experiences and modes of social appropriation. Yet the state-of- the-art literature provides purely professional and empirical avenues of investigation driven by economic/aesthetic value with no pathway for understanding appreciation of ambiguity and the multiple perspectives at play. Thus, a Neutrosophic Technarrative Model …

Between Excellence And Sustainability: A Critical And Bibliometric Review With A Neutrosophic Approach To Academic Quality And Financial Health In Chilean Higher Education, Herminia Gavilán, Claudio Ruff, Luis Benites, Alexis Matheu

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This article develops a critical and bibliometric review of academic quality and financial health in Chilean higher education, within socio-academic contexts in which current Latin American social problems simultaneously jeopardize equitable access, institutional sustainability, and quality standards. The review covers 63 documents indexed in international databases between 2010 and 2025, systematized under a neutrosophic stance detection methodology. The results highlight the risks of high tuition dependence, the positive effects of income diversification, and the relevance of governance, retention, and faculty profiles for financial and academic sustainability. In addition, demographic decline and increased competition emerge as contextual threats. The study integrates …

Automated Ai Validation Of Neutrosophic Plithogenic Hypotheses In Multigrade Literacy Improvement, Isaac Roger Martínez, Débora Lucia Ponce Rivera, Maryuri Yvonne Guale Gómez, Rudy Garcia Cobas, Carlos Roberto Humanante Cabrera

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Literacy is acquired in multigrade classrooms in complicated scenarios because of varying literacy competencies and abilities and varied resources and materials. Thus, it's hard to determine if certain teaching interventions work. This is also a growing concern, a timely consideration, because as the institutions try to better the Quality of Education and prevent learning lags for multivariate classrooms are concerned. Yet the literature contains gaps where no direct attempt to stabilize teaching interventions is made despite the findings of many studies generating didactic interventions through the proceedings. Thus, this study fills the gap with an approach based upon hypothesis generation …

How To Talk To A Seahorse: Communication In Transmasculine Gestational Experiences As Told Through Narrative, Emerson Armstrong

Communication ETDs

Transmasculine experiences before, during, and after pregnancy were evaluated using focus groups and autoethnographic research. As transgender people are more likely to experience inequality in healthcare encounters, this project aims to shed light on, and counter sensationalized accounts of male pregnancy, as transmasculine gestational individuals sought normalization in their experiences of pregnancy. Seven focus groups consisted of 90 minute sessions, with a total of 15 participants. Transcripts were analyzed using a trans narrative approach to find a greater understanding about identity construction, challenges, and changes around trans pregnancy. Asking about communities and healthcare experiences worked to create a complete picture …

The Incorporation Of Salivary Diagnostic Testing In Dental Hygiene Program Curriculum; A Pilot Study Using A Self-Reported Questionnaire, Carrie B. Palmer-Hawkins

Dental Hygiene ETDs

This study evaluated the incorporation of salivary diagnostic testing in dental hygiene program curricula. A recruitment email and survey link were sent to a convenience sample of 296 CODA-accredited program directors in the United States. Using a descriptive research approach, the survey gathered quantitative and qualitative data exploring directors’ perspectives on the role of salivary testing in dental hygiene education. Thirty-seven responses were gathered over three weeks, and 34 participants were included in the study, resulting in a response rate of 13%. Thirty-eight percent (n=13) reported incorporating salivary testing into their dental hygiene program curriculum through didactic or clinical coursework. …

Trading Posts And "Old Pawn": Diné Navajo Trade And The Native Art Industry, Dustin Roberto

Native American Studies Student Publications

"Old pawn" is widely used to describe antique Native American jewelry and goods once pawned for credit at trading posts in the Four Corners region. This article traces how the trading post pawn system influenced Diné Navajo economic life from 1868 through the 1970s, when federal regulators documented exploitative practices such as inflated interest, withheld mail, and items sold without notice. Weavers and individuals pawning jewelry typically received store credit or overvalued commodities instead of cash, a result of the power dynamics of the setting. Today, "old pawn" functions as a marketing label for vintage goods, often without documentation. The …

About:

In Squatter Life, sociologist Javier Auyero and anthropologist Sofía Servián examine how Argentina’s urban poor navigate everyday survival amid state neglect and structural violence. Drawing on three years of ethnographic fieldwork and Servián’s lived experience in a squatter settlement, the book reveals the precarious strategies—exploitative labor, patronage, and reciprocal networks, sometimes involving illicit exchange—that sustain life on the margins. Analyzing how these survival strategies intersect with class, gender, and political domination, the authors present a nuanced account of marginality in Argentinian squatter settlements while maintaining a …

Modeling Social Evolution, Involution, And Indeterminacy: A Neutrosophic-Cultural Algorithm Approach, Antonios Paraskevas, Florentin Smarandache

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Neutrosophic Sociology, or Neutrosociology, is the study of sociology using neutrosophic scientific methods for understanding the dynamics of social systems within complex environments. When a social change occurs, the society evolves with respect to some parameters, regresses with respect to others, and remains the same or experiences an unclear change (indeterminacy) with respect to another set of parameters. This mirrors neutrosophic logic: true (��), neutral or indeterminate (ℐ), and false (ℱ). The main concept of cultural algorithms is a generalization of the idea that evolution has at its base both racial learning within species and social learning within human societies. …

Modified Technique For Type-2 Neutrosophic Number Multiple-Attribute Decision-Making And Applications To Quality Evaluation Of Management Work In University Student Organizations, Xinyan Huang

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The quality evaluation of management work in university student organizations is a process of systematically analyzing and assessing the efficiency, organizational capacity, and management level of student organizations. Evaluation criteria typically cover areas such as institutional development, event planning and execution, member development and management, and resource utilization. By combining quantitative and qualitative methods, the evaluation not only identifies strengths and weaknesses in the management process but also provides a basis for future improvements and optimizations, ultimately enhancing the overall management level and work quality of student organizations. The quality evaluation of management work in university student organizations is multiple-attribute …

Predictive Modeling Of Atrial Fibrillation Using A Hybrid Multinomial-Neutrosophic Approach For Biomarker Identification, Lorenzo Cevallos-Torres, Luis Pilacuan-Bonete, Rosangela Caicedo-Quiroz, Franklin Parrales-Bravo, Eduardo Rubio-Bonito

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Atrial fibrillation, characterized by chaotic rhythms and electrical complexity, presents a diagnostic challenge that requires innovative approaches to uncover its underlying biomarkers. This study proposes a hybrid predictive model based on multinomial logistic regression and neutrosophic logic, aiming to identify clinically significant patterns associated with this condition. Using the Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) methodology, large volumes of cardiovascular data are analyzed to distinguish meaningful signals from background noise, revealing hidden connections and validating medical hypotheses. The implementation of the model through a digital prototype reflects a convergence of advanced statistics, artificial intelligence, and cardiovascular medicine, promoting a multidisciplinary approach. …

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) …

Neutrosophic Classification Of The Factors That Shape The Professional Profile Of Students In Ecuadorian Higher Education, Ana Jacqueline Noblecilla Olaya, María Paredes Morales, Amor Lalama Franco, Dalva Icaza Rivera, Fabrizzio Andrade Zamora

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This article examines the professional profile of university students in the context of uncertainty of Ecuador. What constitutes this professional profile? Technical skills? Soft skills? Demands of the international and national market? This is relevant to the nation because the employability situation of the country depends on economic development. The correlation between higher education and economic development has been complicated by developments that exploit imperfectly educated people for demand within the employment market. Thus, a professional profile is neither the first study of such developments; however, few studies exist that assess the professional profile through uncertainty and contradiction which means …
