A multivariate framework for measuring international mobility in tertiary education with neutrosophic sentiment assessment
No full textInternational mobility of tertiary education is vital for countries engaged in innovative educational research and those wishing to stay ahead in the field. However, cross-national comparisons face a challenge in methodology induced by the phenomenon\u27s multi-dimensionality. This study analyzes the international mobility of tertiary education in 29 countries from 2013 to 2020 using international students as a percentage of enrollment as a primary dependent variable. The goal is to evaluate trends across nations and subsequently propose a composite index of the multi-dimensional phenomenon. A variety of multivariate analytical techniques were employed; for example, STATIS (Structuring de Tableaux À Trois) Statistics Indices determined a composite structure across countries over time, while hierarchical cluster analysis revealed four clusters of countries with distinguished trends of international mobility in tertiary education. Results confirm the existence of significant trends across time for international students\u27 percentage structure, with 2017 and 2020 being essential years. Our main finding is the International Mobility in Tertiary Education Index (IMIET), determined with four dimensions: baseline, dynamism, coherence, and regional differentiation. For example, Latin America and Asia present low levels of baseline and dynamism, which limits their international competitiveness potential; at the regional level, Oceania excels in IMIET segments like dynamism and coherence, suggesting the related public policies developed there in recent years. Additionally, a neutrosophic sentiments assessment allows for a qualitative evaluation of international scholars via truth indeterminacy and falsity components to provide more in-depth assessments of International Mobility trends while exploring qualitative satisfaction, research impediments, and expectations in indeterminacy
Resolving Contradictions in Public Policies on Child Begging: An N- Alectic Approach
No full textThis project fills a wicked problem gap with policy assessments relative to child begging—a condition that keeps children in a vulnerable state within the confines of the urban setting—and the literature gap exists because while prior researchers aimed to review child begging policy assessments, none have done so from an dialectic, multidisciplinary, moral and social intersectional perspective. Filling the literature gap relevance is about contribution to the field because many of these policies stem from an otherwise noble cause to either imprison or render assistance to vulnerable children yet fail when a poorly socioeconomic population\u27s public safety gets in the way; thus the policy assessment literature is inconsistent. Therefore, this project utilizes a dialectic approach which champions a new way to analyze predicated legislated issues from conflicting means and solves them through integrated rationales facilitated by dialectical assessment and social policy professionals. Ultimately, findings reveal that such policies rarely attack the causal tenets of abject poverty and inevitable social exclusion by children begging. Therefore, this project contributes to the literature by providing a theoretical approach to reconciliation of conflicting viewpoints and real-world applicability policy, championing a more coherent, inclusive and child-rights educated policy campaign direction with feasible sustainable change implementation
Determination of the socio-emotional consequences of visible pigmentary alterations using neutrosophic OWA-TOPSIS
No full textThis study addresses the socioemotional consequences of visible pigmentary disorders such as vitiligo and melasma, a problem that profoundly affects individuals\u27 quality of life. The relevance of this research lies in the growing need to understand how these dermatological conditions influence self-esteem, social interactions, and psychological well-being, especially in diverse cultural contexts. Although existing literature has explored these impacts, it lacks approaches that integrate the uncertainty and subjectivity inherent in human experiences. To fill this gap, a PRISMA-based systematic review was conducted, analyzing articles from PubMed, Scielo, and Scopus (2015–2025), and the neutrosophic OWA-TOPSIS method was employed, which combines weighted aggregation and prioritization to manage ambiguous data. The findings highlight low self-esteem and social stigma as the most significant consequences, along with anxiety and depression also being prevalent. This research contributes by introducing an innovative methodology that captures the uncertainty in psychosocial data, offering a solid basis for designing effective psychosocial interventions. It also provides practical tools for healthcare professionals, promoting a comprehensive approach to visible pigmentary disorders that transcends the dermatological dimension
Women\u27s Work: Building Peace in War-Affected Communities of Uganda and Sierra Leone
No full textWhen women have full socioeconomic citizenship as well as equitable and respectful partnerships with men, transformative justice can be sustained in postconflict societies
In Women’s Work, Jennifer Moore presents a reimagined theory of peacebuilding and transformative justice based on the experiences and insights of women farmers and microentrepreneurs who lived through protracted civil conflicts, drawing on seven years of interviews with women activists across ten communities—five in the Acholi region of Northern Uganda and five in the Moyamba and Koinadugu Districts of Sierra Leone. Despite the important differences between the preconflict and conflict histories and demographics of the two countries, Moore finds commonalities in the practical, yet visionary, approaches to community life emerging from the core values, daily activities, and long-range goals shared by rural cooperative members in both regions.
Collective survival, communal healing, and conflict resolution define the rhythm of these women’s daily lives as they go about building peace, piecemeal. They reject punitive retribution models and demand, instead, a peacebuilding model that advocates for advances in material well-being, the acknowledgment of state accountability for community suffering, and reconciliation and restoration of community networks. But most important, Moore amplifies these women’s voices when they insist that legal equality for women and healthy partnerships between women and men are also essential components to enduring transformation of their societies.
Moore theorizes what peacebuilding would look like if it were modeled on these women-led, matriarchically structured communities that proved not only to be effective at holding governments accountable but also to have the capacity to feed their people and revitalize their local economies. Women’s Work shows that when women have full socioeconomic citizenship as well as equitable and respectful partnerships with men, transformative justice can be sustained through the arts of collective livelihood, violence-free conflict management, and celebration.https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/law_facbookdisplay/1210/thumbnail.jp
