We investigate the lattice structure of various sublattices of the lattice of interval-valued fuzzy subrings of a given ring. We prove that a special class of interval-valued fuzzy ideals of a ring. Finally, we show that the lattice of interval-valued fuzzy ideals of R is not complemented[resp. has no atoms(dual atoms)].

First, we prove a number of results about interval-valued fuzzy groups involving the notions of interval-valued fuzzy cosets and interval-valued fuzzy normal subgroups which are analogs of important results from group theory. Also, we introduce analogs of some group-theoretic concepts such as characteristic subgroup, normalizer and abelian groups. Secondly, we prove that if A is an interval-valued fuzzy subgroup of a group G such that the index of A is the smallest prime dividing the order of G, then A is an interval-valued fuzzy normal subgroup. Finally, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence the interval-valued fuzzy cosets of an interval-valued fuzzy subgroup A of a group G and the cosets of a certain subgroup H of G.

By using the notion of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy relations, we form the poset (IVIR(X), $\leq$) of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy relations on a given set X. In particular, we form the subposet (IVIE(X), $\leq$) of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy equivalence relations on a given set X and prove that the poset (IVIE(X), $\leq$) is a complete lattice with the least element and greatest element.

By using the notion of fuzzy functions introduced by Dib and Youssef, we obtain fuzzy analogues of some results concerning ordinary functions. In particular, we give the denition dierent from one of invertible fuzzy function introduced by Dib and Youssef. And we show that the two denitions are equivalent. Furthermore, we introduce the concepts of fuzzy increasing functions and fuzzy isomorphisms, and we obtain fuzzy analogues of many results concerning ordinary increasing functions and isomorphisms.

We analyze the performance of code division multiple access (CDMA) system with multicarrier (MC) that employs precoding in synchronous downlink channels. Even though considerable efforts are undergoing for frequency offset estimation and correction, it is inevitable for the system to bear the remaining frequency offset. Therefore it is important to predict accurately the system performance in the presence of the residual frequency offset. We obtain the bit error rate (BER) performance in terms of the number of users, the spreading factor, the number of sub-carriers, and frequency offset. We assume that the spreading factor is equal to the number of sub-carriers, although we can generalize the case. The simulation results show that the BER of MC-CDMA with precoding shows a performance that varies with frequency offset as well as system loading.

We introduce the notions of interval-valued fuzzy prime ideals, interval-valued fuzzy completely prime ideals and interval-valued fuzzy weakly completely prime ideals. And we give a characterization of interval-valued fuzzy ideals and establish relationships between interval-valued fuzzy completely prime ideals and interval-valued fuzzy weakly completely prime ideals.

This study examines the roles of user resistance and social influences on the acceptance and continuous usage of smartphones at different stages of adoption. The respondents were classified into three groups according to their innovation adoption stage : non-user group, the potential user group and the trial user group. Theories relevant to user resistance, social influences including normative social influences and informational social influences, as well as user adoption and continuance behavior were reviewed and integrated into our research model. In order to verify the proposed structured equation model, we conducted an online survey by targeting mobile phone users and collected data to be analyzed through a partial least squares (PLS) test. This study tested whether there exists differences in the effects of user resistance and different types of social influence on user's adoption or continuance intetion among these three groups. The results showed that user resistance exists in all adopter groups and that it has significant negative influences on intention to use a smartphone. The findings also revealed that user resistance can be enhanced or resolved by two types of social influence; informational social influence resolves user resistance regardless of the adopter category, while normative social influence enhances the user resistance of potential users. Furthermore, the findings show that social influence regardless of the type positively affects user intention. Several theoretic and practical implications pertaining to the results are discussed.

Informational urbanism is a new research area in information science. In this study, art history joins informational urbanism: Are digital artworks in public urban spaces recognized as essential assets of a smart city? We employed case study research, working with the example of the huge digital media façade of the Arthouse Graz as an artwork in a public space. In a mixed-methods approach, we asked passers-by and interviewed experts on Graz as a smart city and on the Arthouse's role concerning the image of Graz as a smart city. The research found strong hints that indeed digital artworks with large screens or media façades at public spaces are parts of a city's weak location factors as well as of the city's urban structure and may symbolize the city's smartness. A practical implication of this finding is that artists, computer and information scientists, city planners, and architects should include interactive contemporary digital art into city spaces in order to demonstrate the city's way towards knowledge society.

This text discusses elements and characteristics of contemporary informational reality, that is, the ways of producing, circulating, organizing, using, and appropriating information in the current context. Initially, seven terms and concepts used to describe this reality are discussed: fake news, false testimonials, hate speech, scientific negationism, disinformation, post-truth, and infodemic. Next, an attempt is made to present a framework for such phenomena as an object of study in information science. Therefore, this scenario is characterized based on the three main models of information science study: physical, cognitive, and social. The contribution of each of them to the study of contemporary informational reality is analyzed, identifying aspects such as the bubble effect, clickbaits, confirmation bias, cults of amateurism, and post-truth culture. Finally, it presents the discussion of a possible veritistic turn in the field, in order to think about elements not covered so far by information science in its task and challenge of producing adequate understanding and diagnoses of current phenomena. In conclusion, it is argued that only accurate and comprehensive diagnoses of such phenomena will allow information science to develop services and systems capable of combating their harmful effects.
