A Single-Valued Extended Hesitant Fuzzy Score-Based Technique for Probabilistic Hesitant Fuzzy Multiple Criteria Decision-Making by Bahram Farhadinia, Atefeh Taghavi

“…Adopting such a unification process allows decision makers to disregard the probability part in developing fruitful theories of comparison of PHFSs. By keeping this feature in mind, we try to introduce a class of score functions for the notion of the single-valued extended hesitant fuzzy set (SVEHFS) as a novel deformation of PHFS. …”

Well-being is dead, long live well-being! by Mark Piper

“… My primary concern in this paper is with how answering a central metaethical question about well-being impacts work on substantive theories of well-being. Specifically, I argue that well-being invariantism is a priori untenable and hence that any attempt to establish one or more substantive prudential goods as the ‘essence’ of well-being is doomed to failure. …”

ATTEMPTS TO LEGITIMIZE POLITICAL POWER IN THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS FROM THE COLONIAL TO THE POST-COLONIAL PERIOD by Nguyễn Văn Bắc

“…In this work, in addition to some common theories on legitimate domination, the author tries to apply several national perspectives to explain each player’s attempts in legitimizing and stabilizing their control over the Central Highlands from the French colonial period until Vietnam was entirely independent and united in 1975.…”

Qualitative Analysis of a Quadratic Integrate-and-Fire Neuron Model with State-Dependent Feedback Control by Guangyao Tang, Jin Yang, Sanyi Tang

“…Therefore, in this work, we provide a comprehensively qualitative analysis for a quadratic integrate-and-fire model by using the theories of hybrid dynamical system. Firstly, the exact impulsive and phase sets are defined according to the phase portraits of the proposed model, and then the Poincaré map is constructed. …”

Reimagining and Decolonizing the Language of Design by Nidhi Singh Rathore

“… This article examines how traditional design methodologies predominantly serve Western and colonial interests, urging designers to rethink their foundations through decolonial theories and methods. By grounding the research in the context of migration between Mexico and the United States, it dives into a case study, proposes textiles and cultural artifacts as design tools, and offers a methodology rooted in oral histories, traditions, and localized design approaches. …”

Field Equations and Lagrangian of the Kaluza Energy-Momentum Tensor by L. L. Williams

“…We provide an analysis and statement of the source term in the classical Kaluza field equations, by considering the 5-dimensional (5D) energy-momentum tensor corresponding to the 5D geodesic hypothesis that is typically presumed in the Kaluza theory. By providing the 5D matter Lagrangian, this work completes a Lagrangian analysis of the classical Kaluza theory that began by establishing the proper form of the unique Kaluza field Lagrangian. …”

Non-hierarchic document clustering by Gareth Jones, Alexander M. Robertson, Chawchat Santimetvirul, Peter Willett

“…GAs are a class of non-deterministic algorithms that derive from Darwinian theories of evolution. They provide good, though not necessarily optimal solutions to combinatorial optimisation problems, where the number of possible solutions is far too great for all of the possibilities to be explored in a reasonable time by a deterministic algorithm. …”
