Digitalisierung in der beruflichen Orientierung und Vorbereitung. Konzepte für benachteiligte Jugendliche digital gestalten?
Authors: Enssen Susanne , Hähn Katharina
Published: December 2022

Die Ausübung einer Berufstätigkeit erfüllt über die Sicherung des Lebensunterhalts hinaus eine sinn- und identitätsstiftende sowie gesellschaftsintegrative Funktion. Noch gelingt nicht allen Jugendlichen der Übergang vom allgemeinbildenden Schulsystem in eine Berufsausbildung gleichermaßen gut. Insbesondere solche mit sozialen, markt- oder lernbezogenen Benachteiligungserfahrungen benötigen Unterstützung bei der Berufseinmündung. Mit zunehmender Digitalisierung eröffnen sich neue Optionen für die Entwicklung und Umsetzung entsprechender Förderkonzepte. Der Fokus dieses Reviews liegt auf dem Einsatz digital-didaktischer Konzepte für benachteiligte Jugendliche in der Phase der beruflichen Orientierung und Vorbereitung. Aus den Jahren 2016 bis 2020 konnten sechs Studien zu Konzepten der Unterrichtsgestaltung, der außercurricularen Förderung und der Vermittlung überfachlicher Kompetenzen identifiziert werden. Nach einer systematisierten Aufbereitung der Studienergebnisse werden Implikationen für die digitale, aber auch allgemeine Didaktik in der Benachteiligtenförderung abgeleitet. Abschließend werden Forschungsbedarfe und -fragen aufgezeigt, die sich auf eine Weiterentwicklung und Implementierung solcher Ansätze beziehen.

Authors: Sapkota Pushpa Raj , Acharya Jyoti , Niroula Anuj
Published: December 2022

This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of EDTA blanching, NaCl blanching, and barley sprouts addition on the reduction of oxalates in starfruits juice. The effect of EDTA (0-0.6%), NaCl (0-10%), and sprouts (0-3%) treatments was evaluated by response surface methodology. EDTA, NaCl, and sprouts treatments had significant effects (p<0.05) on oxalate reduction. EDTA and NaCl treatments during blanching had a quadratic effect on the reduction of oxalate content of starfruit juice, while the addition of sprouts had a linear effect. Juice treated with all three factors had the maximum reduction, which was significantly higher (p<0.05) than individual treatments. The oxalates content was reduced to 6 mg/100 ml which is comparable to carrot and grapes juices and is considered as a normal oxalates level. Amongst the two factors treatment, the combination of EDTA and NaCl treatment had a significantly high reduction (p<0.05) as compared to other combinations. No significant difference (p>0.05) was obtained between the samples treated with EDTA (0.495%) or NaCl (10%) treatment in combination with sprouts addition. The regression expression for the oxalates reduction in response to these treatments was derived and validated.

Authors: Niroula Sushan , Adhikari Babita
Published: December 2022

Beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) is known as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepato-protective and anticancer due to its bioactive components. The effect of processing (blanching, open pan cooking, pressure cooking, microwave oven treatment, electric oven treatment and drying) on the bioactive components (total phenolic and total betalain content) and antioxidant activity in beetroot were studied. The total betalain content (676.03 mg/100g db) included betacyanin (445.64 mg/100g db) and betaxanthin (230.39 mg/100g db). Total phenolic content, total betalain content and antioxidant activity were significantly different (p<0.05) in open pan cooked, pressure cooked and electric oven treated sample. The drying process significantly (p<0.05) decreased total phenolic and total betalain in blanched, open pan cooked, pressure cooked and electric oven treated samples. Betaxanthin was found more susceptible to heat than betacyanin. The antioxidant activity significantly (p<0.05) increased during drying of the pretreated samples. Microwave oven treatment was found to be suitable for pretreatment as it increases antioxidant activity, maximum retention in total phenolic content and betalain.

Published: December 2022

The aim of this research was to develop yogurt analogue by blending soy-maize milk and to study its sensory and keeping quality. D-optimal mixture design was employed for the formulation of soy-maize yogurt analogue. Five different formulations containing soymilk and maize milk in the ratio of 100:0, 85:15, 70:30, 55:45 and 40:60 were prepared. Sugar (6 g per 100 g milk base), xanthan gum (0.005 g per 100 g milk base) and culture (2U per 20 l) were mixed in all formulations. The prepared yogurts were subjected to sensory evaluation for consumer acceptability. The sensory analysis revealed that soymilk (85%) and maize milk (15%) was of acceptable quality. There was significant difference (p<0.05) between the formulation in terms of color and appearance, flavor, body and texture and overall acceptance. The soy and soy-maize yogurt (optimized) were evaluated for fermentation kinetics (pH, acidity, total plate count and Streptococcus thermophilus count) at the interval of 2 h for 6 h during incubation; and during storage (refrigeration temperature 4-5℃) at the interval of 3 days for 12 days. The physicochemical analysis showed that there was significant difference (p<0.05) in terms of protein, carbohydrate, acidity and syneresis and not significant (p>0.05) in regards of moisture content, fat, ash, and pH between soy and soy-maize yogurt. Also, there was significant difference (p<0.05) in pH, acidity, total plate count and Streptococcus thermophilus count with respect to incubation and storage time for soy and soy-maize yogurt. The yeast and molds count were observed at the 12th day of storage only. The syneresis of soy and soy-maize yogurt was also significantly different (p<0.05) with respect to storage time.

Existence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve and its relevance to SDGs policy: A study in Java region, Indonesia
Authors: Ibrahim Mochammad Daffa , Abbas Muhammad Hasyim Ibnu
Published: December 2022

The debate on economic growth as a trigger or solution to environmental damage is the driving force behind this research. This study examines whether there is an advanced stage of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) that forms a curve resembling the letter N in Java province, Indonesia. This study used a panel data regression model with the main variableof CO2 emissions and GDP per capita. This research demonstrated that, in the short term, per capita income growth caused damage to the environment. However, this relationship was different in the long run and eventually formed an N-shaped curve. The existence of an N-shaped EKC was detected, but not significant.  The relationship between population growth rates, income inequality and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with CO2 emissions as well as EKC turning points were also investigated in this study. The study results included N-shaped EKC detected in Java with the first turning point of Rp 154,297,936 and the second turning point of Rp 1,136,629,791. Population growth rate was proven not to affect CO2 emissions, in contrast to income inequality and the SDGs agreement which affected emissions in Java. Raising public awareness, paying attention to energy use, initiating technological innovations, and enforcing pro-environment policies are recommended to be implemented in Java and across Indonesia.JEL Classification:  Q01; Q11; R11

Equine-Assisted Learning—An Experiential, Facilitated Learning Model for Development of Professional Skills and Resiliency in Veterinary Students
Authors: Rentko Virginia T. , Warner Angeline E. , Timlege Elizabeth , Richman Eric
Published: December 2022

Stress has been identified as a major obstacle for students in DVM training programs and can be associated with a high incidence of anxiety and depression among students. Interventions for stress reduction and improved self-confidence have been introduced at many veterinary schools with the intention of increasing resiliency among students and improving skills for wellness to be used throughout a veterinary career.

Equine-assisted learning (EAL) is a facilitated, reflective discussion method based on interpretation of equine behavior in a group experiential setting that has been used to improve confidence, self-assurance, verbal and nonverbal communication, focus, mindfulness, and coping strategies in populations of students, medical students, corporate groups, and career professionals. We worked with the Cummings School equine teaching herd to develop an EAL course offered as a weekly class to veterinary students in spring and fall semesters since 2018. Our course was modeled after one offered to medical students at the University of Arizona and Stanford University, using progressively more complex equine handling exercises over the course of the semester. Our goal was improved communication, focus, and self-awareness among students to help reduce stress and improve resiliency. Outcome surveys showed that the students found a safe space to share anxieties, concerns, and challenges and learn professionalism skills. Incidentally, they also reported improvement in their equine handling skills. We advocate the use of EAL principles and the use of veterinary teaching horses to reduce stress and improve resiliency and equine handling skills among veterinary students.
АНАЛІЗ ІСНУЮЧИХ НОРМАТИВІВ КРІЇН ЄС У ПОРІВНЯННІ ІЗ ВИМОГАМИ УКРАЇНСЬКОГО ЗАКОНОДАВСТВА В СФЕРІ ШУМОВОГО НАВАНТАЖЕННЯ В УРБОЕКОСИСТЕМІ

Published: December 2022

Внаслідок стрімкого зростання населення великих міст збільшується антропогенний тиск на довкілля. Однім із видів техногенного забруднення міського середовища виступає шум, адже кількість джерел лінійного та стаціонарного шуму постійно зростає, особливо на урбанізованих територіях. У Європі шумові забруднення прирівнюють до інших головних екологічних проблем: викидів шкідливих речовин, вирубки лісів або переробки сміття. На боротьбу із шумом витрачається помітна частка ВВП. Розв’язання таких екологічних проблем вимагає від держави дієвого правового врегулювання, економічних та технологічних ресурсів. Задля цього необхідно підвищувати ефективність державного управління у сфері охорони довкілля, спираючись на засади сталого розвитку міст.
Для України постає актуальна задача щодо удосконалення державного управління у сфері охорони навколишнього середовища. Найпростіший спосіб досягти успіху у сфері охорони довкілля ­ запозичувати досвід держав-партнерів Європейського Союзу.
Стаття присвячена порівняльному аналізу чинної законодавчої бази України та європейської Директиви щодо шуму. На основі проведеного аналізу законодавства України відповідно міжнародних стандартів і Директив, було виявлено, що деякі норми, наприклад вимірювання рівнів шумового забруднення на територіях житлових забудов, затверджені за радянських часів і не переглядалися ще із минулого століття. Нагальна проблема шумового забруднення у містах України, потребує більш жорстких вимог до додержання нормативів щодо рівнів шумового забруднення.
Виходячи із аналізу Директиви ЄС щодо шуму визначено, що впровадження картографування рівнів шумового забруднення на територіях міст є важливим кроком для України в плані розвитку та покращення екологічного стану урбанізованих територій. Карти шуму дозволяють ефективніше впроваджувати методи боротьби із шумом. Важливим питанням є інформування населення щодо стану акустичного простору житлової забудови, що також рекомендується впроваджувати згідно Директиви 2002/49/ЄС.

Urgency and Imminence
Authors: Bandak Andreas , Anderson Paul
Published: December 2022

From pre-emptive military strikes, humanitarian campaigns and precarious financial bubbles, to the climate change emergency and public health measures undertaken in response to COVID-19, we live in an era increasingly marked by discourses of imminence that bring a future close while also leaving it hard to imagine or inhabit. Claims of urgency – ‘act now before it is too late!’ – conduct the affective charge of these sometimes abject and often partially unimaginable futures. Yet urgency is rarely self-evident, but a claim in which the distribution of rights and resources, and particular forms of knowledge and expertise, are at stake. Which social actors are most invested in urgency and why? What possibilities does formatting a situation as ‘urgent’ foreclose and what questions does it make impossible to ask? What happens to claims of urgency when they become protracted and routinised? Alternatively, under what conditions might claims of urgency presage new openings?

Qu'il s'agisse de frappes militaires préventives, de campagnes humanitaires, de bulles financières précaires, de l'urgence du changement climatique ou des mesures de santé publique prises en réponse au coronavirus, nous vivons dans une ère de plus en plus marquée par des discours d'imminence. Ceux-ci rendent l'avenir proche tout en le laissant difficile à imaginer ou à habiter. Les revendications d'urgence — “agissez maintenant avant qu'il ne soit trop tard !” — conduisent la charge affective de ces futurs parfois abjects et souvent partiellement inimaginables. Pourtant, l'urgence est rarement une évidence, mais une revendication dans laquelle la distribution des droits et des ressources, ainsi que des formes particulières de connaissances et d'expertise, sont en jeu. Cette introduction explore la dynamique et les effets de ces processus et de leurs politiques. Quels acteurs sociaux sont les plus investis dans des logiques d'urgence ou de report et pourquoi ? Quelles possibilités le fait de caractériser une situation comme “urgente” exclut-il et quelles questions rend-il impossible à poser ? Qu'advient-il des revendications d'urgence lorsqu'elles se prolongent et deviennent routinières ? Par ailleurs, dans quelles conditions les affects d'imminence et les revendications d'urgence peuvent-ils présager de nouvelles ouvertures ? Avec cette introduction, nous rendons compte des conditions sociales, technologiques et existentielles dans lesquelles il devient naturel d'appréhender le futur comme imminent et d'expérimenter le social à travers l'urgence.
Vertigo and Urgency
Authors: Knight Daniel M.
Published: December 2022

Crisis provokes a sense of urgency often experienced as vertigo – the intense disorientation as to where and when one belongs on the temporal timeline of pasts and futures. The nauseating affects of urgency can be located in both crisis as sudden rupture and as chronic condition – the former a cliff-edge moment where a schism in historical continuity induces dizziness and a sense of falling, the latter defined by inescapability and suffocating captivity. This article presents the relationship between crisis, urgency and the concept of vertigo, offering insights from philosophy and social theory. Further, based on ethnography from crisis-ridden Greece, it explores how vertigo orients collective timespaces and affectively fosters imaginative relationships with the imminent future.

La crise provoque un sentiment d'urgence souvent vécu comme un vertige — c'est-à-dire une désorientation intense quant à l'endroit et au moment où l'on se situe sur la ligne temporelle des passés et des futurs. Les effets nauséabonds de l'urgence peuvent être localisés à la fois dans la crise en tant que rupture soudaine et en tant que condition chronique — la première étant un moment de falaise où un schisme dans la continuité historique induit un vertige et un sentiment de chute, la seconde étant définie par l'inéluctabilité et la captivité suffocante. Cet article présente la relation entre la crise, l'urgence et le concept de vertige, en proposant des idées issues de la philosophie et de la théorie sociale. En outre, sur la base d'une ethnographie de la Grèce en crise, il explore comment le vertige oriente les espaces temporels collectifs et favorise affectivement les relations imaginatives avec l'avenir imminent.

Published: December 2022

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 which spreads throughout the world including Indonesia and causes high anxiety for patients. One way to detect Covid-19 is the RT-PCR method. This method is a must that is applied to preoperative patients in the operating room. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of anxiety in preoperative patients with RT-PCR swab results Methods: Research design was correlation analytic with cross-sectional approach. The population was preoperative patients with RT-PCR swab procedure in operating room from July-September 2021. There were 36 respondents with purposive sampling. Anxiety instrument was done with Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HARS). The data were analyzed by using the Spearman Rho test. Results: The results of this study showed that the most dominant level of anxiety experienced moderate anxiety with an level of 30.6%, while the level of severe anxiety reached 13.9%. The Spearman test showed that there was a relationship between the results of the RT-PCR swab and the level of anxiety in preoperative patients, namely a very strong relationship p = 0.000 (p <0.05) and r = 0.594. Conclusion: The implication of the study showed that the results of the RT-PCR swab detection of Covid-19 preoperative patients had the most positive reaction, where the patient had delayed surgery and would undergo self-isolation. The anxiety level of preoperative patients was most dominant experiencing moderate anxiety due to delaying in surgery. Development and distribution of leaflets as a tool to provide education on surgical services and management of preoperative surgical precautions before undergoing RT-PCR swabs are recommended.

Authors: Binti Arifin Norliza , III Dioso Regidor , Panduragan Santhna Letchmi
Published: December 2022

Urine specimens can easily be contaminated by microbes in the genital area, which often leads to false positive results and antibiotic over-prescriptions. This study aimed to evaluate nurses’ knowledge and compliance regarding urine collection with an indwelling catheter in a medical ward. A total of 101 registered nurses participated in this study from September 2020 to January 2021 at the Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II (HRPZII). A total of 118 nurses participated in this study. Generally, the nurses had sufficient knowledge of the correct urine specimen handling. Cramer’s V analysis showed a moderate association between hand hygiene knowledge and practice among the nurses (φc: 0.273, p = 0.046). In addition, the knowledge and practice of decontaminating continuous bladder drainage areas displayed a relatively moderate association (p = 0.01). While most nurses showed knowledge of the contamination preventive measures, initiatives should be taken so that all nurses would be more likely to comply with the recommended procedure and reduce specimen contamination.

Authors: Huda Nurul , Nurchayati Sofiana , Pranata Satriya , Sansuwito Tukimin
Published: December 2022

Active religious practice is central to the lives of Muslims. Few studies have examined how religious engagement by Muslims who are coping with cancer affects their psychological health during treatment. Objective: To determine how and the extent to which religion and spirituality are employed as coping mechanisms by Muslims through a literature review. Methods: The electronic Medline, Cinahl, Google Scholar, and PubMed databases were used to identify relevant articles. Grey literature, including websites, was also looked over. Studies including patients with cancer of all types and stages were included. Results: Eight articles were included in the review. Key topics of interest were how the characteristics of Muslim religiosity and spirituality are involved in coping with cancer, including whether they further enable a Muslim to give meaning to cancer, how cancer affects the religious beliefs of Muslim patients with cancer, and whether religion influences treatment considerations. Conclusion: Religion and spirituality are crucial for Muslim patients to find meaning in cancer, and both are used as primary means of coping. Thus, nurses must be aware of and sensitive to the importance of religion in caring for such patients.
Counterfeit Healthcare Products: Nepal at a Vulnerable Position
Authors: Bhandari Bijay , Rayamajhi Gaurav
Published: December 2022

Nepal stands in a vulnerable position when it comes to counterfeit medicines as two of its major trade partners countries are leading producers of falsified healthcare products. The impacts that it can lead to are a lower standard of healthcare delivery to the public, increased cost of treatment, antibiotic resistance, and even fatality. The time of crisis as the Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic is often seen as an opportunity to endorse substandard products in greater amounts. The people’s doubt over the medicine is another issue generated by this malpractice that can lead to problems like vaccine hesitancy which can have scary outcomes so forth in a pandemic situation like this. Stronger national policies and vigilant authorities are prime to overcoming flourishing counterfeit culture as it is a peak time when we can not put public health at stake.

Authors: Jaroch Waldemar
Published: December 2022

Autor podejmuje problematykę przestępczości na rynku finansowym, charakteryzując ogólnie założenia, co do kwestii bezpieczeństwa ekonomicznego, uwarunkowań ekonomicznych tego stanu oraz przeprowadza szczegółową charakterystykę przestępczości na rynku finansowym.  Bezpieczeństwo ekonomiczne jest warunkowane – zdaniem Autora – zachowaniem odpowiednich parametrów ekonomicznych, stanowiących jednocześnie gwarancje stabilności rynku finansowego. Nie bez znaczenia istotne pozostaje zagadnienie przestępczości o charakterze ekonomiczno-finansowym na tym rynku i strat z tego tytułu. Na podstawie analizy danych statystycznych Autor charakteryzuje skalę i dynamikę tych przestępstw oraz  dokonuje interpretacji danych. Metoda badawcza ilościowa pozwala na określenie skali oraz wielkości danych badanego zjawiska. Autor przeprowadza przy tym typologię tych przestępstw oraz omawia obowiązujące regulacje prawnokarne.

W konkluzji Autor wskazuje na znaczny i dynamiczny wzrost przestępstw prania pieniędzy, co – zdaniem Autora – może świadczyć o wykorzystywaniu rynku finansowego do legalizacji środków pochodzących z przestępczej działalności.
A study on modeling of rat tumors with the discrete-time Gompertz model
Authors: ÖZBEK Levent
Published: December 2022

Cancer formation is one of the pathologies whose frequency has increased in the recent years. In the literature, the compartment models, which are non-linear, are used for such problems. In nonlinear compartment models, nonlinear state space models and the extended Kalman filter (EKF) are used to estimate the parameter and the state vector. This paper presents a discrete-time Gompertz model (DTGM) for the transfer of optical contrast agent, namely indocyanine green (ICG), in the presence of tumors between the plasma and extracellular extravascular space (EES) compartments. The DTGM, which is proposed for ICG and the estimation of ICG densities used in the vascular invasion of tumor cells of the compartments and in the measurement of migration from the intravascular area to the tissues, is obtained from the experimental data of the study. The ICG values are estimated online (recursive) using the DTGM and the adaptive Kalman filter (AKF) based on the experimental data. By employing the data, the results show that the DTGM in conjunction with the AKF provides a good analysis tool for modeling the ICG in terms of mean square error (MSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and . When the results obtained from the compartment model used in the reference [9] are compared with the results obtained with the DTGM, the DTGM gives better results in terms of MSE, MAPE and $R^2$ criteria. The DTGM and the AKF compartment model require less numerical processing when compared to the EKF, which indicates that DTGM is a less complicated model. In the literature, EKF is used for such problems.

The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of students in grade 2 Islamic boarding school Darul Mukhlisin Karang Baru Aceh Tamiang to understand al-Qawaid an-Nahwiyah before and after learning using conventional and electronic mind-mapping strategies. Then knowing the effect of using conventional and electronic mind mapping on the understanding of al-Qawaid an-Nahwiyah students in grade 2 Darul Mukhlisin Islamic boarding school Karang Baru Aceh Tamiang. The type of research used is field research with experimental quantitative methods. For data processing, the t-test statistical method was used. The results of this study indicate that students' abilities are still weak in understanding al-Qawaid an-Nahwiyah before using conventional and electronic mind-mapping strategies. This can be seen from their average score which only reached 61.7 with a standard deviation of 19.5. After using this strategy, the students' abilities increased and improved, this can be seen from the results of their average score which reached 73.7 with a standard deviation of 16.6. From the data processing using the t-test, the T-count value is 5.364, then the T-count value is greater than T-table because the T-table value is only 2,042. So it can be concluded that there is a significant effect of using conventional and electronic mind mapping in the understanding of students in grade 2 Islamic boarding school Darul Mukhlisin Karang Baru Aceh Tamiang on al-Qawaid an-Nahwiyah.

The main goal of foreign language learning is to make students skilled in using the language both orally and in writing, as well as learning Arabic. However, there are many factors that cause students difficulties in the learning process. One of the contributing factors is the existence of various student characters in the classroom which makes teachers have to be smart in choosing learning methods. One of the appropriate strategies as an effort to overcome these problems is to use the "Clustering Learning Method". This research uses a qualitative approach, with a case study method; data is collected through observation and documentation. Data analysis in this study uses the theory of "Miles and Huberman". The results showed that the application of the clustering method could improve speaking skills in learning Arabic for class XI students of SMAN 10 Malang City. The improvement in question, namely the improvement of the process and student learning outcomes. This increase was seen in the learning process of the first and second meetings. Based on the results of the study, the researcher suggested to teachers that learning Arabic to improve speaking skills through the clustering method could be used as an alternative for teachers to teach other materials.

It is no wonder that learning outcome is very important to measure the success of the education activities that are implemented. But how if education that is usually implemented with offline education, is replaced by online education because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on that, The objectives of this research are to find out the difference between the result of online education and offline learning in teaching Arabic among students at the Islamic Intermediate School “Darus Sholah”. The methodology of this research is the quantitative approach, and the method of collecting observation and documentation consists of data analysis by descriptive quantitative analysis with induction statistics by type, non-parametric statistics. The results of the research there is no comparison between the result of online education and offline education in teaching Arabic among students at the Islamic Intermediate School “Darus Sholah”. In conclusion, the result of the analysis hypothesis shows that 0.09 has more value than 0.05 (0.05 < 0.09) µ1 = µ2 H0, H0 is accepted and H1 data is rejected. This means that the data showed is accepted.
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) Poverty in Rural Areas: Implications for Development in Nigeria
Authors: Onayinka Toyin Segun
Published: December 2022

Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) remain the most pervasive of man’s invention at the turn of the millennium. However, the question can easily be asked about the level of unavailability of the ‘electronic inventions’ in rural areas of Nigeria. The paper, therefore, attempts to bring to the fore, the inadequacy of ICTs in the rural areas since its introduction into the Nigerian society, and its implication for development. Using the Barja and Gigler’s formulation of how, information and communication poverty is measured. As basis, the paper was able to describe how ICTs availability (or lack of it) has become the yardstick through which the level of development of societies is measured. Also, the individual’s socio-economic status is influenced by the right quantity and quality of exposure and access to ICTs. The paper recommends that there is urgent need for the Nigerian state and other major stake holders such as organised private sectors, informal sectors, representatives of communities to develop the process of collective engagement that will lead to the integration of the rural areas of Nigeria into the developmental process through ICTs.

Published: December 2022

In this paper, we use the soft set theory and the concept of semi-linear uniform spaces to introduce the notion of soft semi-linear uniform spaces with its generalization, briefly soft-GSLUS. We investigate some properties of soft topology that induced by soft-GSLUS. Also, we use the members of soft-GSLUS to define a soft proximity space and a soft filter then we establish the relationships between them. Finally, we give the perceptual application of soft semi-linear uniform structures by employing the natural transformation of a soft semi-linear uniform space to a soft proximity.

Published: December 2022

The striking theory of ELECTRE III approach, being a marvelous strategy to deal with pseudo criterion, prevails over the traditional variants of ELECTRE method and other decision-making approaches for veracious decision-making. The noticeable efficiency and broader space of complex Pythagorean fuzzy model make it more significant and dominant for modeling two dimensional imprecise knowledge. The remarkable contribution of this study is to present a high aptitude variant of ELECTRE method by taking the advantage of the flexible structure of complex Pythagorean fuzzy sets closely following the outranking principles of ELECTRE III method. The proposed complex Pythagorean fuzzy ELECTRE III method is accredited to employ the theory of ELECTRE III technique to excellently deal with pseudo criterion as well as the two dimensional imprecise data for authentic decision-making. The proposed methodology uses three different threshold values, including preference, indifference and veto threshold values, to check the preference relation between alternatives. The presented strategy is applied to a case study for material selection to get the befitting decision. The comparative study with Pythagorean fuzzy ELECTRE III method is also included in this article to verify its decision-making aptitude.
