This paper proposes an intelligent faculty evaluation and ranking system in a fuzzy environment, with a focus on semester-wise evaluation rather than annual evaluation. This approach is warranted because a university’s academic goals may vary across semesters, affecting the selection and weights of performance indicators related to teaching effectiveness, research output, and official responsibilities. To achieve this objective, the authors introduce the concept of N-framed plithogenic hypersoft set (PHSS), where N represents the number of frames or semesters. Three types of N-framed PHSS are introduced, and an efficient rank reversal-free multi-criteria decision-making technique, namely NR-TOPSIS, is extended by embedding N-framed PHSS in the algorithm of NR-TOPSIS, termed as ENR-TOPSIS. The modified algorithm is capable of extracting data from a source file and producing the desired results. The procedure is implemented for faculty evaluation in a double-framed fuzzy environment, and sensitivity analysis is performed for the proposed ENR-TOPSIS. The developed framework combines intelligent systems that are adaptable and contain additional characteristics, making it more versatile and increasing its accuracy and transparency, in line with SDG-4, which focuses on quality education.

Morus nigra fruit has therapeutic significance against several clinical manifestations due to polyphenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanins. This research aimed to investigate the antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects of ultrasound-assisted ethanolic (UAE) extract of M. nigra fruit against cholesterol-fed and cigarette smoke-exposed hypertensive rats. The in vitro antioxidant capacity of UAE extract of M. nigra fruit showed higher antioxidant potential against free radicals through DPPH and FRAP assays. The in vivo administration of UAE extract of M. nigra fruit significantly (p≤0.05) alleviated serum total oxidant status while significantly (p≤0.05) improved total antioxidant capacity. Moreover, the qRT-PCR analysis revealed increased expression of Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway genes (NFR-1 and Keap-1) while reduced expression of JAK/STAT (JAK-2, STAT-1, STAT-3) signaling cascade and dual oxidases (Duox-1 and Duox-2) genes. Histopathological findings indicated the mild destruction of cardiac fibers and necrosis. Conclusively, UAE extract of M. nigra fruit exerted antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties against cholesterol and cigarette smoke-associated oxidative damage and inflammation.
