Exploratory research corresponds to the first approach of investigative work. This type of research is very useful by allowing researchers to have a first approach or a first idea about the subject to study and will be of great help to become familiar with the method, but without providing conclusive results. It is usually carried out when the problem is in a preliminary phase. It is a process of collecting basic information on a problem that is not clearly defined. It is a very flexible technique, which implies that the researcher is willing to take risks, be patient and receptive. …

Surgical site infections (SSIs) are one of the main infection control problems in modern hospitals, significantly prolonging the stay at the hospital and increasing the cost of treating patients with infections. They are the leading cause of failure for both patients and staff, including the need for repeated surgeries. The objective of this study is the epidemiological and microbiological analysis, through neutrosophic statistical tools, of surgical site infections after vascular surgery in a highly specialized vascular surgery center in the city of Guayaquil, in which 327 vascular operations were performed, during the year 2019 and the follow-up of patients was …

Nowadays, the economic crisis affecting the countries makes more important the selection process of investment projects. Such is the case of Ecuador where the Multi-annual Public Investment Plan 2017-2021 establishes indicative amounts of public investment that are projected to be executed annually to achieve each of the nine strategic objectives of the National Development Plan that pay tribute to the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN. This plan has certain weaknesses that may not allow an effective and efficient choice at the same time. Which entails a scenario of uncertainty for the Ecuadorian investment process. So we dare to say …

This research aims to apply a mathematical procedure of the project evaluation and review technique (PERT) in a neutrosophic environment. For such purpose, the elements of the three PERT estimates are considered neutrosophic elements, more specifically, trapezoidal neutrosophic numbers. The technique used is novel and attractive since it allows to overcome the limitations of the different Fuzzy PERT methods and handle indeterminacy mathematically. On this occasion, the neutrosophic PERT method is applied to managing a computer system development project. The PERT method made it possible to estimate the minimum duration of the project, the beta parameters of the duration of …

The homeless are a social group that does not have a profession, job, basic rights, or a house to live in, and have been excluded by society. In Quito, Ecuador, especially in the center, it is common to see people living on the street without a roof or a dwelling to live in. They are referred to by society as the excluded population, marginalized, homeless, among other terms. Living on the street does not imply having to be a victim of aggression, but there are more demonstrations of this type of behavior every day. There are several organizations designed to …

A project is an effort made by a group of actors during a certain period to obtain a product, service, or result. Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to plan and execute activities to achieve the project requirements. Project management implies the need for negotiation between the parties because there may be a contradiction between the parties involved, that is, e.g. between the one who provides the knowledge or goods and the client who receives the final product or knowledge. That is why we propose a neutrosophic solution to manage the contradictions in the negotiation …

In Ecuador, domestic violence is the government’s priority as this affects the emotional balance of the injured people, leading them to the appearance of behavioral alterations. Therefore, any physical or psychological aggression damages the family nucleus. In the Constitution of the Republic of 2008, the right to personal integrity was established. However, there is still a social ignorance of the main elements that originate it and its effects on society. The incidence of violence against women, children, and adolescents reaches alarming global and national levels. According to the World Health Organization, 35% of women worldwide have been victims of physical …

The subject “Education and Society” is part of the syllabus of the “Basic Education” program of the Autonomous University of the Andes, Ecuador. This subject has the complexity of linking different aspects of society, some of them not free from contradictions among themselves, and imprecision and uncertainties in assessing students’ performance. For this reason, the concepts and aspects to be evaluated on this subject are represented through the use of plithogenic numbers. Plithogenic sets were defined to model concepts arising from the dynamic interaction among other simpler ones, which may have contradictions with each other and include neutralities or indeterminacies. …

An Expert System as Case-Based Reasoning with the interaction of inductive reasoning is useful in predicting and evaluating domains that are difficult to formalize as is the case of the legal one. Since in this domain, a subjective environment is presented where the parties have contradictory points of view. Despite the multiple advantages of its implementation, the design of this type of system presents certain difficulties in establishing which are the predictive attributes that allow determining the similarity between a past situation and the current one, since they are mostly based on Boolean expressions. Which is in contradiction with the …

Prioritizing software requirements is one of the most significant and complex tasks for software developers. It involves a multi-criteria decision process to balance the benefit of each requirement and its cost, considering different factors and dimensions, many of which are qualitative. Although numerous prioritization methods have been developed to date, the appropriate treatment in cases of the uncertainty and indeterminacy inherent in human decisions is limited. In the present work, the neutrosophic TOPSIS is proposed as a method of prioritizing requirements. This multi-criteria and multi-expert method uses linguistic terms associated with Single Value Neutrosophic Sets and allows the inclusion of …

In recent decades, the development of techniques that allow continuous or periodic blood pressure measurement, both systolic and diastolic, in different individuals has shown that it experiences spontaneous variations in 24 hours. The variability of blood pressure has been calculated based on the standard deviation, and it has been possible to determine that this, with significant differences between individuals, behaves in such a way that the systolic pressure is higher than the diastolic. It has also been reported that the fluctuation is more significant in hypertensive patients than in normotensive patients, as the level of indeterminacy exists. Control charts, as …
