Abstract. In this paper we use Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs), a wellestablished Artificial Intelligence technique that incorporates ideas from Artificial Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic, to create a dynamic model of the Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) Crisis in March 2001. FCMs create models as collections of concepts and the various causal relations that exist between these concepts. The decision capabilities of the FCM structure are examined and presented using a model that is developed based on the beliefs of a domain expert. The model is first examined statically using graph theory techniques to identify the vicious or the virtuous cycles of the decision process. The model is also tested dynamically thought simulations, in order to support political analysts and decision makers to their political decisions concerning the crisis. Scenarios are introduced and predictions are made by viewing dynamically the consequences of the corresponding actions.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the need to develop a teaching material needed in mathematics statistics lectures I. This study used a qualitative descriptive method oriented to the development of a product. The subjects of this study were fourth semester mathematics education students who were taking mathematics statistics course I and lecturers of the mathematics education study program at the Muhammadiyah University of Metro. The research instrument used a questionnaire distributed using a google form. Data analysis was carried out with the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results obtained in this study are: 1) 61.5% of respondents stated that in mathematics statistics I lectures the lecturers have not used e-modules.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
