Resignificación De Las Relaciones Sociales Patriarcales En Valor, Agravio Y Mujer De Ana Caro. Reconstruyendo La Realidad A Través De Un Análisis Interseccional (Camila Andrea Micán Rondón, Pp. 39-55), Camila Andrea Micán Rondón

Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística

El presente trabajo ofrece un análisis textual de Valor, agravio y mujer enfocado en su resignificación interseccional de las relaciones entre géneros (biológicos) y clases sociales. Es importante notar que el presente trabajo se aproxima al género desde un paradigma binario y heteronormativo dado que Caro escribía desde dicho arquetipo, pero reconoce la necesidad de cuestionar esta normatividad en futuras oportunidades. La comedia del Siglo de Oro es la sede de una resignificación nacida desde la deficiencia social percibida por el autor, mediada por la visceralidad y la sátira y culminada en una resolución moral. Desde mi punto de vista, …

Las Voces Perdidas Del Caribe (Rafael Jiménez-Baralt, Pp. 96-105), Rafael Jiménez-Baralt

Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística

Las Antillas del Caribe, que se extienden desde la costa de Venezuela hasta Flor- ida, han albergado diversas sociedades desde el año 4000 a.C., influyendo en su historia y habitantes. Mientras que la arqueología y la etnografía arrojan luz sobre sus pueblos indíge- nas, la investigación lingüística sigue siendo escasa. Este estudio tiene como objetivo pro- porcionar una descripción lingüística de las lenguas antillanas precolombinas y contribuir al debate sobre sus orígenes. Este artículo explora los orígenes lingüísticos de las Antillas utilizando documentación contemporánea (Granberry y Vescelius, 2004) y textos inéditos, es decir, fuentes documentales históricas poco conocidas o no …

Life After Death: Investigating The Resistance And Recovery Of Fungal Communities To Foundation Tree Mortality, Jessie F. Marlenee

Biology ETDs

Tree mortality can have cascading effects on the composition and resilience of interacting fungal communities. Yet, little is known about the impact tree mortality, distinct from abiotic drivers (i.e., drought), has on these communities. This dissertation focuses on the resilience of fungal communities to experimental tree mortality in a piñon-juniper woodland. In chapter one, I found that piñon mortality reduced piñon fine root biomass and piñon mycorrhizal fungal diversity, whereas juniper mycorrhizal fungi were unaffected by juniper mortality. In chapter two, I revealed that piñon mortality altered the composition and spatial structure of mycorrhizal and saprotrophic fungi in the soil, …

Uncovering Language Bias Towards Written Language Use Among Bilinguals And Individuals With Disabilities, Mu'nis Maen Nazzal

Linguistics ETDs

Language is a fundamental tool of social control. Linguistic bias plays a crucial role in social hierarchies and opportunities. While research has extensively documented linguistic bias in spoken language, less attention has been given to bias in written language. This study investigates students' evaluations of three instructors’ writings: a bilingual, an instructor with a disability, and a monolingual. The study employs a matched-guise technique to explore potential biases in students' perceptions of preference, leadership skills, expertise, and professionalism.

The Friedman Test revealed that while participants showed a preference for the instructor with a disability over the bilingual instructor and the …

Tales About Afghan Women After The U.S. Lost The War In Afghanistan In 2021: A Frame Analysis Of Coverage In The New York Times, Ismat Ara Begum

Communication ETDs

This study investigates how U.S. news media framed Afghan women’s identities and experiences in the context of the Taliban’s return to power after the U.S. military withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. In this qualitative inquiry, I examined 11 in-depth, human-interest stories in The New York Times, a mainstream news organization known for its influence on coverage of international and global affairs. A frame analysis was applied to identify salient frames and their ideological underpinnings. The findings show two dominant frames in the coverage, women’s rights and victimhood, articulated through three rhetorical strategies—binary oppositions, comparing loss vs. gain, and emphasis on …

A Dynamically Efficient Predictive Controller For Voltage Stability In A Dc To Dc Boost Converter, Giovanni Reyna

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs

Reliable voltage regulation has become a critical issue with increase demand in modern power electronic applications. This study presents a Model Predictive Controller (MPC) for voltage regulation in DC-to-DC boost converters. A closed loop analytical MPC framework is created with the purpose of computing optimal duty cycles to maintain a stable output voltage under varying load conditions, input changes, and disturbances.

To evaluate the performance of the MPC we set the controller against a comparative analyzing with a traditional cascading proportional integral (PI) controller. The proposed controller design is specifically targeted to improve dynamic efficiency during the converter’s transient events. …

Sharp Knives, Dark Hearts: Class, Colonialism, And Rebellion On Anthony Bourdain's Bookshelf, Carl Cactus Warmuth

American Studies ETDs

Though often characterized as a celebrity chef, Anthony Bourdain achieved stardom from his lively writing rather than skills in the kitchen. As such, the sociopolitical importance of his life and work is greatly illuminated by his compulsive literary references. Through George Orwell’s Down and Out in Paris and London, Émile Zola’s The Belly of Paris, Graham Greene’s The Quiet American, Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, and the personas of William S. Burroughs and Hunter S. Thompson, the tensions central to Bourdain’s legacy are unveiled. This thesis offers a portrait of Bourdain as a complicated figure of …

Assessing Oral Cancer Screenings Provided By Dental Hygienists, Nora N/A Basheer Megerdichian

Dental Hygiene ETDs

Oral cancer remains a significant public health concern, with a five-year survival rate of approximately 50% due to late-stage diagnoses. Dental hygienists play a crucial role in the early screening of oral cancer through routine intraoral and extraoral examinations. This study evaluates the effectiveness of oral cancer screenings conducted by dental hygienists in referring for further evaluation and their overall perception of the importance and frequencies of these examinations. A survey was distributed through the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA) to practicing dental hygienists across the United States, gathering data on screening frequency, referral patterns, perceived importance, and challenges faced …

Sobre El Arcoíris: The Queering Of Mariachi, Tyician Charles Knight

Music ETDs

Mariachi is an internationally renowned artform and tradition whose history spans over decades and several continents. However, there are many aspects still embedded in mariachi culture that remain problematic; machismo (toxic masculinity), alcoholism, and homophobia to name a few. While there has been an increase of mariachi scholars who have critically examined these issues, mariachi culture itself has yet to address the challenges brought forth by its history of gender discrimination and homophobia and embrace practical changes that would enable the creation of a more equitable environment and further develop this living tradition. This thesis analyzes the trajectory of queering …

The Emotional World Of Ex-Confederate Expatriates In Latin America, 1865–1870, Chase H. Mccarter

History ETDs

From 1865 to 1870, tens of thousands of ex-Confederate soldiers, officials, and citizens fled the South for destinations in Latin America. They did so because their defeat in the U.S. Civil War instigated an emotional and identity crisis. Ex-Confederates felt that they could no longer live in the South given the changes wrought by Reconstruction. Rather than remain in the region, many looked toward Latin American states, such as Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela, and British Honduras (Belize), where they believed they could create a way of life like that experienced in the Old South. To do so, ex-Confederates sought settlement in …

“I Never Wanted This”: Examining Maintenance Of White Femininity Within Abortion Stories On Tiktok, Brooke Pope

Communication ETDs

The invocation of tragedy in abortion stories has been acknowledged as a rhetorical tool that creates affective prescriptions and marginalization. Expanding on this concept, this work identifies how these strategies are used to maintain white femininity structurally through individual narratives. An intersectional feminist rhetorical analysis of abortion stories told on the platform TikTok is used to identify discursive practices that signal to white femininity. These practices are organized into three prominent themes within narratives: moves toward victimization, moves toward innocence, and prescribed punishments. Thematically, these serve to identify how pro-choice rhetoric fails to be intersectional and underscore the importance of …

A Cellular And Molecular Dissection Of The Breast: Identification Of Pericytes As A Driver Of Tumor Cell Proliferation, Katelyn M. Del Toro

Biomedical Sciences ETDs

Tissues are composed of many different types of cells. Each has a specific function and exists within a unique context—all of which define the landscape of the tissue. The cellular and molecular interactions within a tissue are critical to its form and function. Defining these interactions is an important step in understanding the aberrant nature of diseases like cancer, where tissue homeostasis has been abandoned. This requires reliable models of each cell type. Yet, in many tissues, including the breast, comprehensive methods to identify, purify, and study each tissue cell type have not been defined. This is a critical deficiency …

Expanded Triangular Fuzzy Neutrosophic Numbers For Safety Risk Evaluation Of Urban Rail Transit Engineering: An Innovative Method For Better Risk Assessment, Xiuli Liu

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Safety assessment of urban rail transit (URT) operations plays a crucial role not only in shaping passenger travel choices but also in urban development planning. The findings of such assessments are valuable for both passengers and transport operators. In this study, we propose an integrated multi-stage evaluation framework to assess URT operations from a safety perspective. This framework considers decision-makers' (DMs') risk preferences and the uncertainty of available information. We employ two key methods: the CRITIC method to determine the weights of evaluation criteria and the MOORA method to rank the alternatives. Both methods operate within the framework of triangular …

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

In human organizations, there are group ways of conducting themselves, the interaction between members, and internal dynamics, among others that make the organization maintain a specific behavior as if it were an individual. This is the so-called Organizational Behavior, which is important to identify within a particular organization to improve the performance and efficiency of the entity. There are four types of organizational behavior models, namely, autocratic, custodial, supportive, and collegial. This paper aims to classify the organization that belongs to the office of the Academic Vice-Rector of the National Agrarian University of La Selva in Peru. To do this …

Enhancing Missing Data Imputation For Migrants Data: A Neutrosophic Set-Based Machine Learning Approach, Doaa A. Abdo, A. A. Salama, Alaa A. Abdelmegaly, Hanan Khadari Mahdi Mahmoud

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This study tackles the problem of missing data in migrant datasets by introducing a new framework that combines machine learning techniques with neutrosophic sets. These sets, which can represent uncertainty and ambiguity, are well-suited for managing the complex nature of missing information in sensitive fields like migration research. We test the effectiveness of KNN, SVM, decision tree, random forest, and Ada Boost algorithms on a migrant dataset, comparing their results using different imputation methods (mean/mode, model-based imputer (simple tree), and random values). Our research showed that our proposed approach, which used neutrosophic sets, improved imputation accuracy and strengthened model reliability. …

Solving A Global-Mixed Integer Signomial Geometric Fractional Programming Problem, J. Shirin Nejad, M. Saraj

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This article addresses mixed integer fractional signomial geometric programming (MIFSGP) problems, which have been widely used in industrial design. In this paper, first, we convert fractional signomial programming into a nonfractional problem so that it maintains its geometric structure. Then, convex relaxation is used to reach a mixed integer global solution. Although, in many cases, we obtain a better objective function value with this process, designers may still be dissatisfied with the rupture between the original objective function value and the relaxed value. Therefore, we apply a spatial branch and bound algorithm to decrease that distance to an acceptable extent …

From Di-Alectics To N-Alectics: Indigenous Cultures And Ancestral Philosophies In Latin America, Florentin Smarandache, Maikel Y. Leyva Vázquez

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This paper explores the n-alectic framework, which extends traditional di-alectic and tri-alectic models by integrating multiple subcomponents through refined neutrosophic logic. Drawing from pre Columbian philosophies, particularly Mesoamerican, Andean, and Amazonian traditions, the study demonstrates how indigenous worldviews align with n-alectic structures. The figure of Quetzalcóatl/Kukulkán illustrates a triadic balance of sky, earth, and underworld, while Andean Yanantin and Pachakuti reflect complementary duality and transformation. Shuar cosmology further exemplifies a complex n-alectic system, where multiple spiritual and natural forces interact dynamically. The ethical decision-making model, applied to resource extraction and Pachamama principles, utilizes weighted metrics and neutrosophic distance calculations to …

Neutrosophic Normal Vague Set Fitting To Trigonometric Concept Via Aggregation Operators And Its Augmentation, M. Palanikumar, Nasreen Kausar, Tonguc Cagin

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Using a cotangent trigonometric neutrosophic normal vague set (CotNNVS), we begin this communication article with several novel techniques. Some trigonometric neutrosophic sets and imprecise neutrosophic sets are extended by the novel idea of CotNNVS. We will discuss the various aggregating processes that interpret Cotangent trigonometric neutrosophic normal vague weighted averaging (CotNNVWA), cotangent trigonometric neutrosophic normal vague weighted geometric (CotNNVWG), cotangent trigonometric generalized neutrosophic normal vague weighted averaging (CotGNNVWA), and cotangent trigonometric generalized neutrosophic normal vague weighted geometric (CotGNNVWG) are the new topics covered in this paper

Similarity Measure And Sine Exponential Measure Of Possibility Interval-Valued Neutrosophic Hypersoft Sets And Their Applications, Eman Hussein, Yousef Al-Qudah, Hm Jaradat, Faisal Al-Sharqi, Saja Elnajar, Ali Jaradat

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The Hypersoft set (HSS) has been created as an extension of a soft set (SS) in order to address limitations for the thought of disjoint attribute-valued sets corresponding to distinct attributes. The HSSs melted with several fuzziness structures present in literature to handle real-world scenarios with complexity and uncertainty. One such extension is the interval-valued neutrosophic hypersoft set (iv-NHSS), which focuses on the partitioning of each attribute into its attribute-valued set with these attribute-valued sets, three iv-NHS memberships degree line closed interval [0,1]. However, the iv-NHSS model is short of assessing the vague nature of parameters and sub-parameters that cause …
