Sense of belonging, or belongingness in academia, is an individual's personal conviction as to their acceptance as a valued member of an academic community. The importance of belongingness lies in correlations with motivation, persistence, mental health ...

This article addresses the pressing issue of algorithmic discrimination, emerging from the increasing use of AI-assisted decision-making systems. These systems, driven by substantial data and artificial intelligence, profoundly influence individual ...

We prove that the class of communication problems with public-coin randomized constant-cost protocols, called BPP⁰, does not contain a complete problem. In other words, there is no randomized constant-cost problem Q ∈ BPP⁰, such that all other problems P ...

The $\lambda \Pi$-calculus modulo theory is an extension of simply typed $\lambda$-calculus with dependent types and user-defined rewrite rules. We show that it is possible to replace the rewrite rules of a theory of the $\lambda \Pi$-calculus modulo theory by equational ...

There are concerns amongst researchers and the general public that social media platforms threaten democratic values. Social media corporations and their engineers have responded to these concerns with various design solutions. Though the objective of ...

The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred a large amount of experimental and observational studies reporting clear correlation between the risk of developing severe COVID-19 (or dying from it) and whether the individual is male or female. This ...

• Epidemiological studies show Sex/Gender bias in COVID-19 severity and mortality risks.

The q-rung orthopair fuzzy set is an extension of fuzzy set, whose remarkable characteristic is that the sum of q power of membership degree, non-membership degree and hesitation degree is equal to 1. Inequalities on q-rung orthopair fuzzy set are ...

Nowadays assuring that search and recommendation systems are fair and do not apply discrimination among any kind of population has become of paramount importance. This is also highlighted by some of the sustainable development goals proposed by ...

• We highlight the strengths and weaknesses of established bias mitigation methods.
• We revise our work by generalizing the instance generation and removal strategies.
• We evaluate the effectiveness of different instance-generation ...

The gender imbalance in technology, sciences, and engineering is a global problem and according to the statistics, this really has not changed much in the last thirty years. Moreover, there is also a lack of women in tech entrepreneurship;...

In this paper, we consider the problem of aggregating a collection of transitive fuzzy binary relations in such a way that the aggregation process preserves transitivity. Specifically, we focus our efforts on the characterization of ...

Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are at the forefront of government initiatives across the world. The SDGs are primarily concerned with promoting sustainable growth via ensuring wellbeing, economic growth, environmental legislation, and ...

Pythagorean fuzzy set (PFS) is a meaningful generalization of intuitionistic fuzzy set, whose fascinating characteristic is that the sum of square of membership degree $\mu$, non-membership degree $\upsilon$ and hesitation degree $\pi$ is equal to 1 with more ...${}^{\mathrm{}}{}^{\mathrm{}}{}^{\mathrm{}}\mathrm{}$

One proof-theoretic approach to equality in quantificational logic treats equality as a logical connective: in particular, term equality can be given both left and right introduction rules in a sequent calculus proof system. We present a ...

Southeast Asia that consists of eleven countries, has been proud of its way of life and rich culture and is generally happy to maintain its long comforting tradition. However, the region cannot deny that its diverse population and strategic location ...

Wikipedia is one of the most widely used information sources in the world. Although one of the guiding pillars of this digital platform is ensuring access to the diversity of human knowledge from a neutral point of view, there is a clear and persistent ...

In this paper, $\alpha$-paramodulation and $\alpha$-GH paramodulation methods are proposed for handling logical formulae with equality in a lattice-valued logic $L_{n}F(X)$, which has unique ability for representing and reasoning uncertain information from a logical ...$$$$${}_{}$${}_{}$${}_{}$$$$$

An information system (IS) is an important model in the field of artificial intelligence. A fuzzy information system (FIS) may be regarded as an IS under fuzzy environment. This paper obtains some results on a FIS. Operators on a FIS are first ...

This paper analyses the evolution of women’s political participation in Ecuador in the last decade, 2009–2019. This is highly important since it helps to develop an international and regional retrospective on equal political participation. When ...

This study aims to bridge the digital gender divide in information and communication technology (ICT) education and field by reflecting the alumni opinions on gender equality in the ICT context. The study aims to raise the awareness of gender ...

We construct a multi-observable uncertainty equality as well as an inequality based on the sum of standard deviations in the qubit system. Firstly, an uncertainty equality as well as an inequality is formulated, and we demonstrate that the new ...
