Neutrosophy, Causal Ai, And Web3: Combo For Complex Decision-Making, Ranulfo P. Barbosa, Florentin Smarandache, Maikel Y. Leyva Vázquez, Joaquin B. Monge Jun 2025

Neutrosophy, Causal Ai, And Web3: Combo For Complex Decision-Making, Ranulfo P. Barbosa, Florentin Smarandache, Maikel Y. Leyva Vázquez, Joaquin B. Monge

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This article introduces Neutrosophic Causal AI, a novel framework that integrates neutrosophic logic with structural causal models to enhance decision-making under uncertainty. While traditional Causal AI is effective at identifying cause-and-effect relationships, it assumes a level of precision rarely found in complex, real-world systems. By incorporating degrees of truth (T), indeterminacy (I), and falsity (F), Neutrosophic Causal AI extends causal inference to accommodate ambiguity, contradiction, and incomplete data. The proposed framework formalizes the neutrosophic do-operator and adapts Judea Pearl’s structural causal models to a neutrosophic context, allowing for more nuanced intervention analysis and counterfactual reasoning. Through illustrative examples and a …

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Biomass is a form of energy used primarily by people living in rural areas of developing countries. This type of energy is based on the combustion of elements such as wood. Exposure to biomass is linked to diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), which is a major cause of global mortality. In this paper, we study a group of patients of 65 and over years of age exposed to biomass smoke for long periods in the Ecuadorian province of Cotopaxi. Specifically, we study the effectiveness of a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program. Since there are different variables to measure, …

Thinking About Complexity In Latin America: Contributions Of Neutrosophy In Dialogue With Edgar Morin, Noel Batista-Hernández, Maikel Yelandi Leyva-Vázquez, Alenna Rosa Batista-Barallobre Jun 2025

Thinking About Complexity In Latin America: Contributions Of Neutrosophy In Dialogue With Edgar Morin, Noel Batista-Hernández, Maikel Yelandi Leyva-Vázquez, Alenna Rosa Batista-Barallobre

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Smarandache’s neutrosophic logic—and its broader philosophical umbrella of MultiAlism, which insists that any assertion must be considered together with its neutral and anti-assertive counterparts—offers powerful methodological tools to operationalize Edgar Morin’s complexity thinking. While Morin contributes the principles of dialogic, recursiveness and the hologrammatic approach, his continental framework can be difficult to apply empirically. Neutrosophy and MultiAlism formalize contradiction, uncertainty and multidimensionality, thereby bridging theory and practice. In Latin America, where complexity thinking is widely adopted to address realities marked by inequality and instability, this integration enables rigorous modelling of non-linear phenomena. Applications such as Neutrosophic QCA (NsQCA), Neutrosophic Cognitive …

Analysis Of Indicator Dynamics In Agricultural Sustainability Using Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps, Carlos Balmaseda -Espinosa, Oscar Caicedo- Camposano, Nadia Quevedo-Pinos, Dacil González-González

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Agricultural sustainability is a complex system influenced by interconnected environmental, economic, and sociocultural factors, whose relationships are often marked by uncertainty. This study addresses the interdependence of these factors using Neutrosophic Cognitive Maps (NCMs), a methodology capable of modeling causality in complex systems by incorporating degrees of truth, falsity, and indeterminacy. Twelve key indicators across the three dimensions of sustainability were selected, and an NCM was constructed based on expert criteria to visualize and analyze their dynamic interactions. Centrality analysis, following a de-neutrosophication process, revealed that sociocultural indicators, specifically the well-being of the agricultural community (X12) and the preservation of …

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This paper investigates the efficacy of emerging technologies in protective forest conservation—artificial intelligence, drones, remote sensing, and blockchain—and whether such tools foster threat detection and enhanced biodiversity and human interaction. As deforestation and climate change continue to plague the planet, protected areas become more critical, and although successful conservation efforts exist, traditional tools fail to adequately provide the granularity and scalability required for nuanced action such as illegal logging or forest fires. The emerging abilities of these innovations have been published in scientific literature. However, there exists a translational gap in a systematic determination of their efficacy since levels of …

Computational Intelligence For Disease Diagnosis: An Approach Based On Neutrosophic Logic, Omar Mar Cornelio, Barbara Bron Fonseca Jun 2025

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, …

Examining The Causes Of Ineffectiveness In The Legislative Process Of Law In Ecuador Using The Neutrosophic Analytic Hierarchy Process, María Elena Infante Miranda, Jarlyn Gabriela García Chulde, José Ignacio Ruíz Tigse

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This study addresses legislative inefficiency in Ecuador, which results in laws with poor technical quality and low legitimacy. Its goal is to assess and rank the factors causing this inefficiency—a key step toward improving the legal system and governance. The issue is critical because ineffective lawmaking erodes public trust and hin-ders national development. Unlike previous studies, this research applies an innovative approach: neutrosophic logic and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (NAHP) to handle uncertainty in complex political contexts. Through surveys of 4 constitutional law experts, 7 key factors were identified. The top causes were technical-legal defi-ciencies (33.65%) and excessive politicization (28.52%), …

Impact Of A Digital Platform For Wildlife Information Man-Agement In The Cerro Blanco Protected Forest Of Guayaquil Using Plithogenic Statistics, Sonia Jacqueline Tigua Moreira, Edison Luis Cruz Navarrete, Diana Lucia Tigua Moreira, Pedro Manuel García Arias

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 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 …

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The intention of the wage gap versus cost of living analysis was to explore the wage gap versus cost of living via a plithogenic statistic and an indeterminate, uncertain Likert scale survey. The intent was two-fold. First, to evaluate the wage gap versus cost of living. Second, to evaluate the uncertainty of income versus expenses. A plithogenic survey was sent to n= 357 men and women across various industries within a major metropolitan area. Findings were assessed through the new Likert scale with a subsequent option for indeterminate results. Plithogenic statistics were used to formulate a trend of indeterminacy and …

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 …

Back To The Future For Climate Liability, Anthony Moffa Jun 2025

Back To The Future For Climate Liability, Anthony Moffa

Pace Environmental Law Review

The Polluter Pays Principle has been a central tenet of environmental policy for decades. It provided an economic justification for compelling cleanups through the Superfund law (the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)). However, outside of that context, it has not been explicitly cited as the chief justification for much environmental law in the United States—until now. The principle has recently been invoked in state climate lawmaking. Last year, Vermont and New York became the first states to enact laws that impose liability on fossil fuel producers for climate change harms, invoking the Polluter Pays Principle and Superfund …

Peninsula Medical School

Transposable elements (TEs) make up around half of the human genome. Their transcription is repressed in most somatic cells to maintain genome integrity and function. The repression is chiefly maintained by a combination of epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation and histone modifications. However, recent research suggests that liver steatosis is associated with extensive changes to the hepatocyte epigenome. Furthermore, studies in mice have reported diet- and drug-induced changes to TE transcript levels in liver. The confirmation of these effects in human liver has not previously been undertaken. Here, we examined TE transcription in liver tissue from three patient cohorts …

Simple And Complex Phonic Tics In Tourette Syndrome, José Fidel Baizabal-Carvallo, Joseph Jankovic Jun 2025

Simple And Complex Phonic Tics In Tourette Syndrome, José Fidel Baizabal-Carvallo, Joseph Jankovic

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Tourette syndrome (TS) is the most common cause of tics. Tics are classified as motor and phonic tics. The latter (previously also referred to as “vocal tics”) are manifested by simple sounds (simple phonic tics) or complex, often semantically meaningful utterances (complex phonic tics). Methods: We compared the clinical and demographic features of consecutive patients with TS who exhibited simple and complex phonic tics. Results: There were 149 patients, 117 (78.5%) of whom were males; the mean age at evaluation was 19.61 ± 12.97 years. In total, 35 (23.5%) of these manifested complex phonic tics, and 26 (17.4%) had verbalizations. …

Montana Trout Unlimited V. Montana Department Of Natural Resources, Kelly Brady

Public Land & Resources Law Review

A proposed copper mine located near tributaries of the highly protected Smith River in central Montana set off a series of lawsuits over the use of water in the state. After a number of administrative hearings and subsequent trials, the only substantial question left was the status of “mine dewatering.” The Montana Supreme Court decided whether 1,500,000 gallons of water removed annually from the inner workings of a mine should require a water use permit as a beneficial use or if it exists outside of the regulatory jurisdiction of the Montana Department of Natural Resources under the Montana Water Use …

Neuroma following nerve injury and/or amputation is a debilitating condition with significant impacts on quality of life. Several approaches exist to prevent or treat neuroma and/or reduce associated pain; however, these approaches are not consistently effective, facile, or widely accessible. The present study characterizes a xenogeneic nerve cap graft device (NCGD) composed of decellularized porcine nerve. The NCGD was assessed for its ability to inhibit nerve growth, neuroma formation, and pain in rodent models of sciatic neurectomy and tibial neuroma transposition. The NCGD provided a neuroinhibitory substrate that abated and interrupted nerve growth within 5 mm of the nerve stump …

In Australia, skin cancer has the highest incidence of all cancer types, where Therapeutic Goods Association-approved, broad-spectrum sunscreens are recommended to prevent skin carcinogenesis. Commercial sunscreen ingredients, however, have been associated with negative impacts on human health, animal health and the environment. Together, the perceived harmful effects of commercial sunscreens have driven a trend towards home formulation of natural sunscreens, recipes for which are widely available online. Scientific evidence to support the efficacy of natural sunscreens, however, is lacking. We tested the efficacy of a natural homemade sunscreen (NHSS) published online by a wellness blogger with the aim to determine …
