Humanity has gone through an evolutionary process based on the advancement of technology created by human intelligence. Currently, the concept of intelligence has detached itself from the corporality of the human being and has the intention of changing it: its models, relationships and convictions. This paper claims the dependence, even symbolic, of that IA to the social archetypes of our weltanchauung. From this point of view, technological advance will generate human development, but they do not yet reach the possibility of substantially changing human being. One of the most important referees that will moderate the constant dialogue between human “physical and artificial intelligence” is Law, which will have the mission of reconciling the relationship between being and what should be. In this relation, I propose three images that serve as a guide for this discussion: the cloud, the wall, and the plague.

The Islamic Awakening in Malaysia has brought about the consciousness of adopting and practicing the Islamic way of life. The process of implementing the principles of Islam is based on a gradual evolutionary process, rather than a drastic approach. Therefore, the selective implementation of Islamic law has been carried out relatively smoothly. For that reason, various institutions have been established ‒ such as, Islamic universities, Islamic banking and insurance companies, and other Islamic organizations and institutions. The case studies in this article related to Malaysia are: The Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), Angkatan Belia Islam Malaysia – ABIM (Malaysian Islamic Youth Movement), and some Islamic institutions, which play important roles in the Islamic Awakening and solidarity in Malaysia. The PAS and ABIM are the prominent Islamic parties and movements, respectively, which can be regarded as the driving force behind the Islamic Awakening in Malaysia. Based on a tridimensional perspective ‒ that is, socioeconomic well-being and the strength of the expansion of Islamic education, and political stability ‒ this study highlights the accomplishment of Islamic Awakening in Malaysia.

Despite the rapid technological advance, the expansion of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis, as well as the accumulation of experience by both domestic and foreign experts, prenatal recognition of true knots of the umbilical cord causes significant difficulties. Three cases of successful ultrasound diagnosis of true knots of the umbilical cord and brief review of the literature are presented.

Background: Fuzzy systems are employed in several fields like data processing, regression, pattern recognition, classification and management as a result of their characteristic of handling uncertainty and explaining the feature of the advanced system while not involving a particular mathematical model. Fuzzy rule-based systems (FRBS) or fuzzy rule-based classifiers (mainly designed for classification purpose) are primarily the fuzzy systems that consist of a group of fuzzy logical rules and these FRBS are unit annexes of ancient rule-based systems, containing the "If-then" rules. During the design of any fuzzy systems, there are two main objectives, interpretability and accuracy, which are conflicting with each another, i.e., improvement in any of those two options causes the decrement in another. This condition is termed as Interpretability –Accuracy Trade-off. To handle this condition, Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEA) are often applied within the design of fuzzy systems. This paper reviews the approaches to the problem of developing fuzzy systems victimization evolutionary process Multi-Objective Optimization (EMO) algorithms considering ‘Interpretability-Accuracy Trade-off, current research trends and improvement in the design of fuzzy classifier using MOEA in the future scope of authors. Methods: The state-of-the-art review has been conducted for various fuzzy classifier designs, and their optimization is reviewed in terms of multi-objective. Results: This article reviews the different Multi-Objective Optimization (EMO) algorithms in the context of Interpretability -Accuracy tradeoff during fuzzy classification. Conclusion: The evolutionary multi-objective algorithms are being deployed in the development of fuzzy systems. Improvement in the design using these algorithms include issues like higher spatiality, exponentially inhabited solution, I-A tradeoff, interpretability quantification, and describing the ability of the system of the fuzzy domain, etc. The focus of the authors in future is to find out the best evolutionary algorithm of multi-objective nature with efficiency and robustness, which will be applicable for developing the optimized fuzzy system with more accuracy and higher interpretability. More concentration will be on the creation of new metrics or parameters for the measurement of interpretability of fuzzy systems and new processes or methods of EMO for handling I-A tradeoff.

This chapter provides an overview regarding the federalization of corporate governance as an evolutionary process. From this perspective, the chapter examines both state and federal law that impact corporate governance. As the chapter explains, from a historical perspective, the states emerged as the primary regulator of corporate governance. Today, Delaware has emerged as the preeminent state where publicly-held corporations elect to incorporate. Nonetheless, federal law, even from a traditional perspective, impacted corporate governance, such as the SEC’s shareholder proposal rule adopted over 75 years ago. With the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, SEC rules adopted under the authority of these statutes, and the emergence of stricter substantive listing requirements mandated by the national stock exchanges, federal law principles are now firmly established.
