Identification Of Aspects And Barriers To Implementing Branding Strategies In Female Entrepreneurship In The City Of Guayaquil Based On Plithogenic Neutrosophic Vague Statistics, María Fernanda Béjar-Feijoo, Nancy Ricardo-Domínguez

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

Branding is one of the marketing strategies that a business must follow to contribute to its prosperity. It is not just about giving a name with a logo; it is about spreading a seal of identity that makes customers identify with the company's products. If creating a successful branding strategy in the market is difficult for any entrepreneur, this is even more difficult for women entrepreneurs. As is known in business, in the labor market, and in everyday life, women face more significant challenges than men. Added to this is the fact that Ecuador is a developing country where there …

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 …

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, …

Limitations To Learning And Participation Using The Neu-Trosophic Analytic Hierarchy Process (Nahp), Marianela Silva Sánchez, María Mederos-Machado, Maya Jara-Sen San, Adrián García-Perdigon

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This study is related to obstacles to learning and participation and is a quintessential concern in creating in-clusive systems and systems based on equity. The principal investigator question is: what are the obstacles to participation and learning, and how can they be assessed? The phenomenon occurs relative to the world today because too many marginalized communities across the globe do not have access to this form of edu-cation; socioeconomic access can be limited. Assessing its relevance supports future policy implications and assessments because it increases awareness of communities not easily accessible and struggles with diversi-ty and uncertain patterned systems. Despite …

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%), …

Legal Dogmatic Analysis On The Protection Of Canines And Felines Through The Use Of Neutrosophic N-Alectics, Jeannette Amparito Urrutia Guevara, Samantha Naomi Barreno Sailema, Niurka De Los Ángeles Mejía Toscano, Jimmy Fernando Ramírez Coque

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This project is about the limitations and failings of current legal systems. Animal welfare and animal rights protection laws are complementary yet antagonistic, and shortcomings exist irrespective of a partial imposition of biocentric ideals. The project's relevance stems from an increase in international animal abuse and a social need for more comprehensive legislative measures to afford canines and felines legal persons (subjects). In contrast to the assessment of current legislative failures, which fail to acknowledge the indeterminacy of meaning, this project uses neutrosophic n-alectics as a novel investigative vehicle to consolidate disparate findings (positive law versus eco-legal actions). This operates …

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 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 Sets and Systems

Strategic planning in higher education faces complex challenges due to the imprecise nature of decision-making criteria, the diversity of stakeholders involved, and the changing dynamics of academic environments. This study addresses the problem of how to model institutional planning processes that effectively incorporate the uncertainty, subjective assessments, and incomplete data characteristic of this context. While various approaches to decision-making in education exist, the current literature presents a significant limitation: the lack of methods that simultaneously integrate the vagueness of human perceptions, the inconsistency of institutional preferences, and the quantitative restrictions inherent to the university setting. To address this problem, we …

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 …

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

The circular economy model, based on the reduction, reuse, and recycling of resources, is gaining increasing im-portance in today's society, particularly in sustainability. This research examines incorporating ancestral knowledge into this paradigm, addressing the connection between interculturality and sustainable resource management. Ancient communities have cultivated knowledge about natural resource management, recycling, and preservation that can be useful for contemporary circular economy strategies. Through an intercultural study, the multiple ways in which native and traditional cultures contribute to the circular economy are recog-nized, often with practices that have endured for centuries. However, the incorporation of this knowledge into contemporary legislative and …

Evolution And Application Of Lean Manufacturing In The Production Industry: Advances And Trends (2015-2025) Through Neutrosophic Cognitive Mapping Analysis Of Crit-Ical Success Factors, Eluard Alexander Mendoza Zenozain

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This article examines how Lean manufacturing evolved between 2015 and 2025—a decade marked by rapid technological disruption and the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). The research identifies critical success factors of Lean and analyzes how AI has reshaped its implementation. To address the uncertainty and complexity of expert evaluations, Neutrosophic Cognitive Mapping (NCM) is used as a methodological tool. NCM not only maps interrelated success factors but also incorporates the ambiguity inherent in human and technological as-sessments. Results show that AI boosts Lean’s effectiveness through predictive analytics and inventory optimi-zation but reveals limitations when workforce training is insufficient. This intersection …

Euthanasia In Ecuador And Latin America: A Comparative Study Using Neutrosophic Logic And Multivariate Analysis, Manuel Richard Naranjo Rodríguez, Sandra Dayanara Correa Solis, Alexander Joshua Bajaña Jiménez

Neutrosophic Sets and Systems

This study aims to analyze the legal, social, and cultural factors that influence the legalization of euthanasia in Ecuador, using a comparative approach with other Latin American countries. The central problem lies in the lack of a comprehensive understanding of how variables such as the degree of secularism, access to palliative care, population religiosity, and ethical and professional perceptions relate to each other in the legislative debate on euthanasia. To this end, a database with 300 records was constructed, integrating quantitative, qualitative, and neutrosophic variables, which allow for the capture of both structural data and ambiguous assessments of morality and …

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 …

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 …

Ecocentric Environmental Justice: Why We Should Go There And How We Can Get There, Jillian R. Houle Jun 2025

Ecocentric Environmental Justice: Why We Should Go There And How We Can Get There, Jillian R. Houle

Pace Environmental Law Review

Environmental justice is necessary. It forces us to grapple with the fact that environmental burdens and benefits have been disproportionately divvied up across arbitrary race- and income-based lines, asks “what are you going to do about it?”, and offers solutions and answers to the problems it identifies. Everyone benefits from environmental justice. At the same time, environmental protection is necessary. Not only does environmental protection, by definition, protect the biotic and abiotic components of the natural world, but it further serves to protect humans, who unequivocally rely on the natural environment to sustain their collective life. Everything – living and …

Geothermal Energy And The Possibility Of Narrative Unity In Environmental And Energy Law, Jarrod Ingles Jun 2025

Geothermal Energy And The Possibility Of Narrative Unity In Environmental And Energy Law, Jarrod Ingles

Pace Environmental Law Review

As the United States seeks to address concerns about climate change and energy affordability through the deployment of renewable energy and natural gas, the tensions between energy law and environmental law have come into sharper relief. These two related fields are converging as never before because solutions to rising energy costs and the “wicked problem” of climate change often pit the impulses of energy and environmental agencies against one another. Applying a narrative theory approach, I contend that energy law and environmental law will continue to be in tension because they are grounded in different narratives, which in turn communicate …

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 …

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 …
