Full text linkApplication of the Neutrosophic Fuzzy Sets in Profession Determination
No full textWe present several operations, such as algebraic sum, algebraic product, and arithmetic mean, over the neutrosophic sets extended with moment in time and sketch numbers. Through mathematical illustrations, we explore various properties and apply this concept to professional decision-making. Existing neutrosophic set (NS) and fuzzy set theories lack the capability to dynamically account for time and evolving circumstances. Many approaches fail to provide satisfactory solutions for handling evolving decision criteria or dynamic uncertainties. While operations like algebraic sum, algebraic product, and arithmetic mean exist for neutrosophic sets, their adaptation and extension to dynamic and temporal dimensions (moment in time and sketch numbers) remain underexplored. Additionally, there is a lack of studies applying neutrosophic set extensions in critical domains such as professional decision making, which involves dynamic and complex evaluation processes. Many existing models do not adequately demonstrate practical applicability with robust mathematical illustrations.

Peripheral Neuroimmune Mechanisms of Chronic Back Pain
No full textChronic back pain (CBP) affects 1 in 10 people worldwide, reducing mobility, productivity, and quality of life. Despite its prevalence, non-addictive treatments remain limited due to an incomplete understanding of chronic pain mechanisms. This dissertation examines peripheral neuroimmune interactions in CBP using a urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA)-induced mouse model (uPA-CBP). uPA, a pro-inflammatory serine protease, was injected into the L2/L3 lumbar spinous ligament, inducing prolonged mechanical and cold hypersensitivity. Flow cytometry of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) showed increased CD45+CD11b+ myeloid cells in males and CD45+CD3+CD4+ lymphocytes in females. DRG neurons from male uPA-CBP mice exhibited heightened action potential firing. Pharmacological inhibition of colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) via PLX5622 reduced pain behavior and nociceptor hyperexcitability. RNA sequencing identified upregulation of genes linked to leukocyte migration, inflammation, and ion channel modulation, supporting DRG neuroimmune involvement in CBP. These findings establish uPA-CBP as a valuable model for advancing pain management strategies
Evaluating English Oral Production in University Students through Google Meet Using Neutrosophic Z-Numbers
No full textThe present study investigates a central problem in the field of virtual education: how it influences the use of Google Meet in the Oral Production Competition of University Students at a public university in Lima. The research issue focuses on determining whether this platform, widely integrated into current educational environments, effectively contributes to the development of oral communicative skills in a foreign language. In a context where digital technologies are essential for teaching, understanding their real impact is essential to optimize learning processes in non-face-to-face modalities. Therefore, this investigation adopts an innovative approach based on neutral Z numbers, which allows to the analysis of student perceptions with greater depth, including aspects of certainty, uncertainty and denial. The relevance of this issue lies in the growing dependence of higher education institutions of virtual and hybrid environments, as well as the strategic importance of the English domain in a globalized world. However, previous studies on platforms such as Google Meet have tended to privilege traditional quantitative approaches, leaving aside the complexity of students\u27 subjective perceptions. To address this lagoon, semi-structured interviews with 40 students were used, evaluated by neutral Z numbers and compared to the U-Whitney U test. The results indicate significant differences between those who intensively use the platform and those who do not, highlighting greater confidence in oral production among the former. This research not only enriches the theoretical framework by introducing a novel methodology but also offers practical recommendations to enhance English teaching through digital tools

No full textMutualistas: La Sociedad Auxiliar de Mutua Beneficiaria, Antonito Colorado, 1937-1994
No full textMutual Aid Societies proliferated in the American Southwest during a period of rapid social change, 1880-1930. In Hispanic towns, these societies were referred to as mutualistas, with a large number concentrated in the San Luis Valley of Colorado and rural counties of northcentral New Mexico. One of the men’s organizations, La Sociedad Protección Mutua de Trabajadores Unidos (SPMDTU), started in Antonito, Colorado, and quickly spread to other communities of southern Colorado and northern New Mexico and eventually to a few mining towns in Utah. With a tri-state model in place, women formed their own mutual protection societies: Sociedad Protectora Cooperativa, Sociedad Auxiliar de Mutua Beneficiaria, and Sociedad Femenil de Protección. Of the three, the Auxiliar de Mutua Beneficiaria (A.M.B.) had the strongest connection with the SPMDTU
Strategic Development Plan – San Pedro Dr. Main Street Corridor
No full textThe San Pedro MainStreet Strategic Development Plan is a place-based, community-driven roadmap for revitalizing the San Pedro Drive corridor in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The corridor sits at the intersection of historical significance and present-day opportunity—bridging the old and new alignments of Route 66 while serving a diverse, working-class population. Drawing from urban planning theory, spatial analysis, and community input, this plan identifies challenges and assets related to land use, infrastructure, business development, housing, and cultural identity. Special attention is given to past and ongoing patterns of racialized disinvestment and displacement, with strategies proposed to ensure equitable reinvestment and climate resilience. Recommendations are grounded in the MainStreet Four-Point Approach™ and aligned with local and state policy frameworks, including the City of Albuquerque’s Integrated Development Ordinance, Comprehensive Plan, and anti-displacement tools. The plan also addresses the proposed redevelopment of EXPO New Mexico and its implications for corridor stakeholders. Implementation guidance focuses on advocacy, finance, and evaluation strategies that prioritize transparency, accountability, and community leadership. The document was developed through embedded research and practice by a scholar-practitioner serving as both a graduate student in Community and Regional Planning and Executive Director of the local MainStreet organization. This dual role provided access to localized data, while the methodology upheld principles of participatory planning and academic independence. Ultimately, the plan seeks to catalyze long-term transformation that honors the corridor’s history, protects its communities, and builds shared prosperity
