Computational Intelligence For Disease Diagnosis: An Approach Based On Neutrosophic Logic, Omar Mar Cornelio, Barbara Bron Fonseca

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Medical diagnosis faces significant challenges due to the inherent uncertainty and ambiguity of clinical data. In this context, this paper proposes a neutrosophic logic-based approach to disease diagnosis, with an emphasis on the detection of chronic kidney disease. The primary objective was to develop a computational method that adequately represents and manages uncertainty by transforming clinical attributes into neutrosophic structures composed of triplets (T: truth, I: indeterminacy, F: falsity). The implemented methodology included the collection and preprocessing of real clinical data extracted from the UCI repository (135 patients), the application of imputation and normalization techniques, the definition of diagnostic criteria, …

Integrating Random Forest With Neutrosophic Logic For Predicting Student Academic Performance And Assessing Prediction Confidence, Franklin Parrales-Bravo, Roberto Tolozano-Benites, Alexander Castro-Mora, Leonel Vasquez-Cevallos, Elsy Rodríguez-Revelo

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This study proposes a hybrid approach to predict students’ final academic performance in a mathematics course by integrating Random Forest, a supervised machine learning model, with neutrosophic logic to assess prediction reliability. The objective is to improve educational forecasting by not only predicting grades but also quantifying the confidence of each prediction through neutrosophic components—truth (T), indeterminacy (I), and falsity (F). The model was trained on a dataset of demographic, academic, and social attributes from Portuguese schools, achieving robust performance (MAE = 1.54, R2 = 0.61). Key contributions include: (1) a framework for transparent AI-assisted decision-making in education, (2) actionable …

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Protected areas, such as the 6078-hectare Cerro Blanco Protected Forest of Guayaquil, often struggle with ineffi-cient wildlife information management, including previously physical and inefficient methods of fauna control, which can hinder effective conservation. Comprehensive digital resources are needed to improve data accessi-bility for informed decision-making regarding conservation activities. This project addressed this opportunity by developing and evaluating a digital platform specifically designed to facilitate the collection, organization, and dissemination of wildlife-based resources. While the consideration of digital approaches in conservation is rapidly increasing, there are minimal articles focused on successful encompassing digital platforms, and none that assess their real-world effect …

Neutrosophic Owa-Topsis Model For Decision-Making In Ai Systems With Large Volumes Of Data, Juan Roberto Pereira Salcedo, Karla Melissa Ruiz Quezada, Edison Luis Cruz Navarrete, Pedro Manuel García Arias

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

AI systems require transformations of big data critical to processing because the findings are based upon in-complete, inconsistent, and/or biased findings which mean that findings and subsequent achieved expectations will inevitably have limitations. This is problematic when engaging multi-criteria decision making with big data-driven projects like infiltration of personalized suggestions, AI-based medical diagnostics, and risk reduc-tion efforts where any decision making with deficient data can reduce effective capabilities. The literature sug-gests that TOPSIS and OWA operators enable the prioritization of alternatives given ranked data; however, there is a gap in the literature regarding the suitability of decision making techniques to …

Significantly, the percentage of students with high-level integrated skills increased from 12.5% to 37.5% after the intervention. Although the intervention improved all dimensions regardless of socio-demographic variables, female students, engineering students, and the 18-20 age group showed the …

Neutrosophic Psychology Of Teachers: Addressing Perceptions Of Uncertainty And Motivation In The Implementation Of Thinking Strategies, Edward David Ticona Ponce, Adán Humberto Estela Estela, Manuel Cesar Vildoso Villega, Pierre Sean Rojas Padilla, Virgilio Vildoso Gonzales, Hortencio Flores Flores, Carlos Fretel Martínez

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This study addresses a key challenge in contemporary education: teachers' psychological resistance to implementing critical thinking strategies, a problem compounded by ambivalent perceptions, indeterminate motivations, and a lack of tools to measure these complexities. Although previous research has explored pedagogical barriers, little has examined the subjective and inconsistent dimension of teachers' attitudes, leaving a gap in our understanding of how uncertainty affects the adoption of educational innovations. To address this, the article proposes a framework based on Neutrosophic Psychology, which quantifies contradictions in teachers' beliefs (such as the coexistence of genuine motivation and external pressures) using neutrosophic numbers, applying adaptive …

Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps To Analyze Barriers And Opportunities In The Development Of Critical Thinking Through Inquiry Strategies In Public Universities, Betsy Maryetta Quispe Baca, Adán Humberto Estela Estela, Vladímir Bendezú Pérez, Yessika Madelaine Abarca Arias, Manuel Cesar Vildoso Villegas, Pierre Sean Rojas Padilla, Juvita Dina Soto

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The effective implementation of inquiry strategies in higher education is hampered by multiple interconnected fac-tors, from institutional constraints to pedagogical barriers, creating a complex scenario that traditional analysis methods fail to fully capture. This problem takes on particular relevance in the current context, where the devel-opment of critical thinking has become a fundamental competency for facing the challenges of constantly changing societies. While numerous studies on active pedagogies exist, there remains a notable lack of approaches that can adequately manage the ambiguity, contradictions, and uncertainty inherent in real-life educational systems. To ad-dress this limitation, this research proposes an innovative analytical …

Neutrosophic Evaluation Of Conventional And Non-Conventional Resources In Higher Education, Walter Cente Pérez, Hortencio Flores Flores, Manuel Cesar Vildoso Villegas, Adán Humberto Estela Estela, Carlos Fretel Martínez, Virgilio Vildoso Gonzales, Eli Carrillo Vásquez

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Evaluating the effectiveness of teaching resources in higher education faces the challenge of inherent subjectivi-ty and ambiguity in pedagogical processes. Existing studies often oversimplify the complexity of the educa-tional phenomenon. This research proposes an innovative model combining neutrosophic theory with mul-ticriteria decision-making methods (specifically SVNLOWAD-TOPSIS) to simultaneously assess truth, falsity, and indeterminacy in resource effectiveness. The methodological framework, acknowledging the plithogenic nature of educational processes, uses a mixed-method design integrating expert perceptions synthesized via neutrosophic operators. A case study evaluating four resource types—traditional classes, online platforms, vir-tual simulations, and Project-Based Learning (PBL)—demonstrated that PBL is the most effective, followed by …

Selecting Optimal Monetary Policies For The Peruvian Hous-Ing Market Using The Neutrosophic Owa-Topsis Model, Edwin Collazos Paucar, Tomas Francisco Rosales León, Rilke Chong Vela, Jorge Luis Arrue Flores, Víctor Linares Pezo, María Josefa López Macedo, Cesar Ulises Marín Elespuru

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This research contributes to the literature where ideal monetary policy selection to increase housing demand in Pe-ru is still lacking for a vulnerable sector that can easily become unstable in times of recession. This research is sig-nificant because policymakers should pay attention to the real estate sector as it has economic and social welfare implications due to the current housing deficit situation across the country and international investors and lenders. Although previous articles have assessed how monetary policy transmits through the housing sector, few pay at-tention to the adoption of uncertainty itself. Therefore, prevailing methods do not comprehensively assess how …

Strategies For Harmonic Mitigation In Water Pumping Systems Using Neutrosophic Logic., Jefferson A. Porras, Luis R. Curipoma, Byron P. Corrales, Jorge L. Villarroel

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This study analyzed harmonic contamination in Quillán 1 and Quillán 2 pumping stations, characterizing the electrical system conditions and proposing solutions that addressed actual operational requirements. High levels of harmonic distortion were identified, particularly in 5th and 7th order harmonics, which exceeded the limits established by national regulations, despite the system presenting adequate energy utilization. To select the most appropriate mitigation strategy, the TOPSIS method under neutrosophic logic was applied, which allowed the integration of expert perception and the inherent indetermination margins of such systems. This logic, which simultaneously considers degrees of truth, falsehood, and uncertainty, enabled the evaluation of …

Evaluation Of The Relationship Between Consumer Behavior And Purchasing Preference In Supermarkets Using The Servqual Neutrosophic Model., Abraham Cárdenas Saavedra, Jhamely Herrera Cometivos, Antonio Bartolomé Medina Salgado, Alberto Alonso Espinoza Saldaña, Alberto Barrenechea – Romero, Rejis Renato Paredes Peñafiel, Rosa María Criollo Delgado

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The present study aimed to investigate consumer behavior implications for shopping preferences in supermar-kets applying the SERVQUAL neutrosophic model to measure service quality in uncertainty. This research ana-lyzed data from 200 previous surveys which involved consumer behavior (product quality, experience, physical space, store attributes) and shopping preference (physical space, variety, knowledge, organization, friendliness, hygiene). Respondents originally responded on a Likert scale (1–5) and as such, survey response values were converted into neutrosophic values (truth, indeterminacy, falsity) as a measure of merged perceptual ambiguity on the behavioral response (servis value) to the relevant shopping context. The neutrosophic gap between each of …

Educational Dialogues And Shuar Cultural Identity: An Approach From The Neutrosophic N- Alectics., María Claudina Gómez Ayora, María Belén Centeno Defas, Isaac Roger Martínez

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This dissertation aims to assess the significance of dialogues in educational interventions that facilitate the con-struction and reinforcement of the cultural identity of Shuar students in rural multigrade classrooms from a Neutrosophic N-Alectic Assessment based on the Theory of Neutrosophy that seeks to approximate truth, deni-al, and indeterminacy within pedagogical realities. Therefore, it involves an interpretative qualitative study comprised of semi-structured, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, participant observation in class-rooms, and neutrosophic discursive analysis of dialogue occurring in bilingual learning environments. Results show that dialogue surrounding ancestral stories, purposeful interaction with the Shuar language, and subse-quent community involvement facilitate …

Opinion: The Constitution - Not Trump - Demands Our Allegiance, Christian G. Fritz

Faculty Scholarship

Supporting the Constitution not only requires submission to constitutional authority but implies resistance to powers that are exercised unconstitutionally. Such resistance might take the form of brave individuals living up to their oath of office or courts defending the rule of law and the Constitution. But while the Supreme Court plays a key role in interpreting the Constitution and holding a president in check, it has long been recognized that others besides the court have always been necessary to help monitor America’s constitutional order. The practice of resisting unconstitutional acts of the federal government by sounding the alarm was described …
