The Absorption Problem In Software-Planning Assessment: A Single-Valued Neutrosophic Model With Deferral, Angela Olivia Yanza Montalvan, Omar Mar Cornelio
The Absorption Problem In Software-Planning Assessment: A Single-Valued Neutrosophic Model With Deferral, Angela Olivia Yanza Montalvan, Omar Mar Cornelio
Neutrosophic Sets and Systems
Planning the software production process is a knowledge-intensive activity whose assessment relies on expert, linguistic and frequently conflicting indicators. Deterministic and fuzzy models compress each assessment into a single membership value and therefore cannot distinguish ignorance from contradiction. We formalise this Absorption Problem and propose a Single-Valued Neutrosophic (SVN) model that represents each indicator as a truth-indeterminacy-falsity triple, aggregates them with an SVN weighted average under AHP-derived weights, computes a structural-indeterminacy operator from inter-indicator disagreement, and applies a deferral rule that routes high-indeterminacy projects to expert review. On a real project-management dataset (n = 199), gating on structural indeterminacy raises …
Beyond Scalar Uncertainty: Independent Neutrosophic Evidence Coordinates For Conflict-Aware Retrieval-Augmented Generation, Florentin Smarandache, Maikel Yelandi Leyva Vazquez
Beyond Scalar Uncertainty: Independent Neutrosophic Evidence Coordinates For Conflict-Aware Retrieval-Augmented Generation, Florentin Smarandache, Maikel Yelandi Leyva Vazquez
Neutrosophic Sets and Systems
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines reduce the quality of retrieved evidence to one number, and common scalar uncertainty summaries conflate evidential distinctions that a three-coordinate representation keeps apart: insufficient, contradictory and explicitly indeterminate evidence. We use the non-normalized neutrosophic triple (T, I, F) as a testable multidimensional evidence representation, with independent channels for support, explicit indeterminacy and opposition, and subject its defining design principle to a controlled empirical test on a pre-specified battery built on Climate-FEVER, validated externally on ConfRAG. The independent triple gives the best five-way behaviour with the LLM evaluator; normalization deletes the magnitude that signals insufficiency. The benefit …
The Enforceability Of Economic, Social And Cultural Rights As A Neutrosophic Variable: The Right To Education In Ecuador, Alejandro Montece
The Enforceability Of Economic, Social And Cultural Rights As A Neutrosophic Variable: The Right To Education In Ecuador, Alejandro Montece
Neutrosophic Sets and Systems
In 1948 the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and in 1966 it divided fundamental rights into two covenants. This study analyses the level of enforceability of economic, social and cultural (ESC) rights, taking the right to education in Ecuador as its case, and argues that enforceability is not a binary property but a neutrosophic variable: for each dimension of the right there coexist degrees of realization (T), degrees of documented non-realization (F), and a component of indeterminacy (I) that the analysis types into constitutive indeterminacy and removable indeterminacy. The results show high truth values …
Generative Artificial Intelligence As A Formative Mediator In Mathematical Task Design: An Ontosemiotic-Neutrosophic Analysis Of Didactical Suitability In Teacher Education, Arian Vazquez Alvarez
Generative Artificial Intelligence As A Formative Mediator In Mathematical Task Design: An Ontosemiotic-Neutrosophic Analysis Of Didactical Suitability In Teacher Education, Arian Vazquez Alvarez
Neutrosophic Sets and Systems
The transformation of mathematics teaching in the digital society demands the integration of emerging technologies with solid pedagogical foundations. This study analyses the mediation of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in the design of mathematical tasks from the Ontosemiotic Approach (OSA). A neutrosophic reading is introduced to preserve, rather than collapse, the evidential structure of GAI-mediated tasks, annotating each facet with independent degrees of truth (T), indeterminacy (I), and falsity (F) and modelling the teacher's critical mediation as an operator of evidence refinement. GAI does not replace the teacher but strengthens their role as epistemological mediator and fosters critical didactic thinking.

Generative Ai For Curriculum And Assessment Design In Competency-Based Tvet: An Exploratory Evidence Map With Neutrosophic Annotations, Maria Del Refugio Patino Cayetano, Blanca Estela Calderon Munoz
Neutrosophic Sets and Systems
Technological and polytechnic universities in Mexico revise their competency-based study plans on a multi-year cycle, and generative AI (GAI) tools are increasingly used informally by faculty to draft curriculum documents and evaluation instruments, without a published evidence base for the practice. This paper reports an exploratory, non-registered scoping search of the OpenAlex database for evidence on GAI use in curriculum and assessment design, read against four explicit propositions. What remains undocumented is narrower: authoring of curriculum or evaluation documents by GAI inside a multi-year, institutional, competency-based TVET/polytechnic revision cycle, specifically within the Textile Design and Fashion Engineering discipline.
Neutrosophic Multi-Criteria Assessment Of The Structural Performance Of Finger-Jointed Glued Laminated Timber From Five Tropical Wood Species, Maria Angelica Flores-Romayna, Victor Augusto Araujo-Abanto, David Leon-Moreno, Lenin Vladimir Vargas-Villa, Guillermo Augusto Pastor-Picon, Noe Cristian Fachin-Vargas
Neutrosophic Multi-Criteria Assessment Of The Structural Performance Of Finger-Jointed Glued Laminated Timber From Five Tropical Wood Species, Maria Angelica Flores-Romayna, Victor Augusto Araujo-Abanto, David Leon-Moreno, Lenin Vladimir Vargas-Villa, Guillermo Augusto Pastor-Picon, Noe Cristian Fachin-Vargas
Neutrosophic Sets and Systems
Previous studies on finger-jointed glued laminated timber typically compare mechanical properties in isolation through classical statistical tests, which limits the ability to answer a question of greater relevance for structural design: which species most consistently retains its mechanical performance under experimental uncertainty and contradictory behavior across indicators. This study comparatively assessed the structural performance of finger-jointed glued laminated timber from five tropical forest species by integrating physical-mechanical indicators, inferential statistics and a neutrosophic CRITIC-TOPSIS multi-criteria model. The CRITIC-TOPSIS model ranked moena itauba and tornillo with the highest structural aptitude under uncertainty, results confirmed as reasonably robust by a sensitivity analysis …

Hera 2.0: Human-Governed Agentic Software Development With External Cognitive Orchestration -- An Industrial Experience Report On Ai-Dlc With Chatgpt Web As Cognitive Continuity Layer, Manuel-Enrique Puebla-Martinez
Neutrosophic Sets and Systems
The adoption of LLM-based agents in industrial software engineering has surfaced a structural problem: local agents can conduct AI-DLC workflows correctly while simultaneously pursuing incomplete or misguided problem interpretations when context is fragmented or prompts are imprecise. This experience report presents HERA 2.0, a methodology that addresses this problem through architectural separation of responsibilities: local agents perform situated execution, while ChatGPT Web acts as an external cognitive continuity layer. Evidence classification in HERA uses four operational states that naturally corresponds to the (T, I, F) structure of neutrosophic evidence degrees. An anonymized industrial case on POS-switch integration illustrates differences between …

Smartphone pose-estimation applications promise laboratory-grade biomechanical screening at negligible cost, an attractive prospect for youth sport programmes in low-resource settings. This paper contributes a reproducible field protocol for smartphone-based postural and jump screening, and reports its behaviour on a deliberately adversarial test case: a set of sex-discordant triplets (n = 3, age 13 years) who share prenatal environment, socioeconomic context and training history. The contribution is the protocol, the fully reported case data, and an explicit statement of what a criterion-validation study against force platforms and open pose estimators would need to establish before field screening claims can be sustained.

Multicriteria rankings computed on aggregated survey means are routinely used to allocate improvement budgets in higher education, and they are read as if the closeness coefficients were ratios of need. This paper shows, on real data, that a large part of what such a ranking reports is arithmetic rather than evidence. Using doctoral survey data on university-society engagement from two state universities in Guayaquil, Ecuador, we compare a crisp entropy-TOPSIS treatment with a single-valued neutrosophic treatment in which the indeterminacy component is measured from inter-stakeholder dissent. We report that the fine order of the ranking is not identifiable from these …

Local governments in Ecuador manage critical citizen services yet operate with limited cybersecurity maturity. This paper presents MPEC-GAD, a cybersecurity governance model integrating COBIT 2019 strategic alignment with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 technical controls, using AHP-TOPSIS multi-criteria prioritization. Applied to GAD Jaramijo (Manabi, Ecuador), the four decision criteria weight risk reduction, implementation cost, deployment time, and technical complexity (AHP Consistency Ratio CR = 0.0054 < 0.10). The TOPSIS ranking directs scarce resources toward the 47 mandatory EGSI controls with highest risk-reduction per investment unit. A single-round structured review by seven experts rated pertinence, viability and completeness with mean scores >=4.0/5.0.

Multi-Criteria Credit Risk Prioritization In Cooperative Smes Using Ahp-Topsis: A Reproducible Pilot With Pseudonymized Data, Ramiro Javier Castillo Herrera, Dayron Rumbaut Rangel
Neutrosophic Sets and Systems
Credit risk assessment in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within savings and credit cooperatives presents persistent challenges due to incomplete, heterogeneous, and dispersed information. This paper reports and audits a pilot AHP-TOPSIS multi-criteria model for relative credit risk prioritization using a pseudonymized pilot dataset of seven SMEs (n=7) with active loans, implemented as a fully Excel-reproducible framework without proprietary software. AHP pairwise comparisons yield validated criterion weights (CR=0.0440 < 0.10). Results demonstrate the model's interpretability, traceability, and operational applicability for credit portfolio management in resource-constrained cooperative financial environments.

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems
Since 2010, internet access in Ecuador has grown in markedly different ways depending on the service modality: whereas mobile accounts multiplied, fixed accounts advanced at a far more restrained pace. This article analyzes the dated observations of fixed and mobile internet accounts published by the Telecommunications Regulation and Control Agency (ARCOTEL) between December 2010 and June 2022. The fixed-account model proved almost perfect (R2 = 0.995); the mobile-account model displayed greater unexplained variability (R2 = 0.901). As a complementary layer, a neutrosophic framework (truth/indeterminacy/falsity) is applied to the consistency of the figures across sources.

Institutional bibliometric profiles report Lotka's exponent, a Bradford core and a Price ratio as if they were properties of the institution. They are properties of the institution together with three decisions that the reporting almost never states: which source defines the corpus, which document types are compared, and which population of authors the laws are fitted on. This article measures what each decision is worth, using Universidad Bernardo O'Higgins (UBO, Santiago, Chile) as the case and Universidad Bolivariana del Ecuador as a control. Since the resulting uncertainty is not sampling error, we give it a place to be reported: a …

Typed Abstention For Llm-Elicited Fuzzy Criteria In Multicriteria Transportation Decisions, Maikel Maikel Leyva-Vazquez, Nezir Aydin
Neutrosophic Sets and Systems
Fuzzy multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) increasingly draws its criterion evaluations from large language models (LLMs), but the aggregation step typically treats these elicited judgments as interchangeable with expert opinion, with no mechanism to flag disagreement, insufficiency, or unreliable sources. We port a source-preserving, typed-abstention decision policy into fuzzy-MCDM pipelines, instantiated on a four-alternative sustainable-transportation case, and report two live pilots. Pilot 1 returns all-coherent; Pilot 2, redesigned with criteria of greater normative dependence, shows the gate firing on real disagreement. We report both pilots candidly and verify the gate's logic with synthetic unit tests.

The Qualitative Report
Parental involvement plays a critical role in children’s cognitive, effective, and psychomotor development; however, limited research has explored mothers’ perceptions of parenting and practices of parental involvement and parenting styles. This instrumental case study employed semi-structured interviews with 23 mothers in an Indonesian Islamic kindergarten to explore their understandings, experiences, and beliefs regarding parental involvement. It also aims to identify different kinds of parenting styles. The study revealed three themes, indicating that parenting and parental involvement are understood as an educating process, an interaction process between parents and children, and a mechanism for supporting children’s development. The findings indicate that …
