Article Abstract
In January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) identified a world-threatening virus, SARS-CoV-2. To diminish the virus spread rate, India implemented a six-month-long lockdown. During this period, the Indian government lifted certain restrictions. Therefore, this study investigates the efficacy of India's lockdown relaxation protocols using fuzzy decision-making. The decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) is one of the fuzzy MCDM methods. When it is associated with intuitionistic fuzzy circumstances, it is known as the intuitionistic fuzzy DEMATEL (IF-DEMATEL) method. Moreover, converting intuitionistic fuzzy into a crisp score (CIFCS) algorithm is an aggregation technique utilized for the intuitionistic fuzzy set. By using IF-DEMATEL and CIFCS, the most efficient lockdown relaxation protocols for COVID-19 are determined. It also provides the cause and effect relationship of the lockdown relaxation protocols. Additionally, the comparative study is carried out through various DEMATEL methods to see the effectiveness of the result. The findings would be helpful to the government's decision-making process in the fight against the pandemic.

The effective allocation of Training and Education Resources (TER) is one of many organizational pathways to maximizing workforce capability and employee development. Conventional means of assessing employees and allocating employee resources are inadequate in managing uncertainty, imprecision, or performance data in complex forms and paradigms. In this paper, a new model is proposed that implements an integrated application of Intuitionistic Fuzzy Z-Numbers and multi-layer perceptron networks for a more realistic and accurate employee performance evaluation and resource allocation.

Hybrid machine learning techniques for knowledge extraction in communication networks combine the strengths of multiple learning algorithms to analyze complex, high-dimensional, and dynamic network data effectively. Some advanced approaches are discussed to improve the intelligence and efficiency of modern communication networks, making them more resilient and capable of meeting the growing demands of data-driven applications. This article articulates the efficiency and feasibility of a complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy set (Cq-ROFS), which is an extended version of an intuitionistic and q-rung orthopair fuzzy model.

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies have created new possibilities that redefine the scope of modern education, allowing for the creation of entirely immersive and engaging learning environments. With the rapid adoption of these technologies to enhance educational environments, the importance of having methods to measure the effectiveness of teaching performance in such immersive settings has become increasingly crucial. This study introduces a new framework that integrates the circular interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (CIVIF) framework and the evaluation based on the distance from average solution (EDAS) method to assess teaching effectiveness in VR and AR classrooms.

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence is transforming agriculture by enabling data-driven plant disease monitoring and decision support. Soil-borne mosaic wheat virus (SBWMV) is a soil-transmitted virus disease that poses a serious threat to wheat production across multiple ecological zones. Due to the regional variability in environmental conditions and symptom expressions, accurately evaluating the severity of wheat soil-borne mosaic (WSBM) infections remains a persistent challenge.

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have transformed higher education by providing widespread access to quality educational content, and the integration of machine learning (ML) has significantly enhanced their effectiveness and adaptability. This article is designed to illustrate insufficient and vague types of information in expert's judgment using a multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) problem. For this purpose, we modify the theoretical concepts of circular intuitionistic fuzzy set (Cir-IFS), which is an extended framework of fuzzy theory and intuitionistic fuzzy models.
