This study aims to investigate the pozzolanic reactivity of bagasse ash while partially replacing cement. Rapid, reliable, and relevant (R3) testing techniques were employed. This was done by measuring the heat of hydration and by determining the amount of bound water. The blending of cement made the paste require more water, to enhance the setting time, have more peaks in a narrower range position of °2θ and with Aluminum containing compounds, to have a lower average crystallite size (16.46ηm) and lower diffraction angle. The cumulative heat flow in the blended samples decreased to 275.18J/g at 170hours and the maximum rate of heat flow decreased to 69.41J/gh which was found delayed at 5 minutes and 13 seconds. The difference in heat of hydration between the reference and blended sample increases as time increases starting from 3J/g on the 1st day to 9J/g on the 3rd day. Blended samples were found to have lower bound water(gram) (2.58%) content on day 1 than the reference. Compressive strength at an early age (≤ 1 day) is lower in the bagasse ash (BA) blended mortar cubes and during later days compressive strength of BA blended mortar cubes were the highest and quartz blended mortar cubes were the lowest. Besides, the pozzolanic activity of bagasse ash (PABA) was found to be 346.08mg of Ca(OH)2 per gram of bagasse ash. Results were compared with the strength development and pozzolanic activity determination test. The presence of pozzolanic reactivity of the bagasse ash was confirmed, and results were found to be coherent and in agreement with each other.

Published: October 2024

Helicobacter pylori is recognized as a microbial carcinogen among Gram-negative bacteria and is considered the most significant risk factor for the development of human gastric cancer (GS). Consequently, inhibiting the growth of H. pylori has become a critical strategy for preventing GS. This study focuses on the inhibitory effects of emodin (EMN) against H. pylori-induced gastric carcinogenic signaling in human gastric epithelial cells (GES-1). In vitro cytotoxicity assessments revealed that a concentration of 40 μM of EMN provided remarkable protection to gastric cells, resulting in 85% cell viability without inducing toxicity. Furthermore, EMN prevented the H. pylori-induced depletion of antioxidants, which was mediated by reactive oxygen species generation, DNA damage, and nuclear fragmentation. Our findings indicate that EMN significantly suppresses the expression of phosphorylated forms of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT, phosphorylated p38 kinases (p-p38), phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1 (p-ERK1), phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK) in GES-1 cells infected with H. pylori. In addition, EMN notably enhances the expression of antioxidant proteins nuclear factor erythroid factor-2 (NRF2) in H. pylori-infected cells. In summary, EMN demonstrates promising potential in preventing H. pylori-associated infections and the subsequent development of resistance, making it a viable candidate for the prevention of H. pylori-induced GS.

Impact of fiscal policy shocks on health outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa: A panel structural VAR approach
Authors: Gerald Iheoma Chukwunonso
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the impact of fiscal policy shocks on health outcomes in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). It is motivated by health systems’ increasing reliance on public funding despite growing macroeconomic uncertainties. This study adopts a regional analysis, sampling five countries with the highest per capita public health expenditure from the Central, Eastern, Southern, and Western African regions. The study employs the panel structural vector autoregression technique and expresses health outcomes as a function of fiscal policy and private health expenditure shocks. The results suggest that fiscal policy shock significantly and positively affects health outcomes in Central and Western Africa. However, health outcomes are resilient to fiscal policy shock in Eastern and Southern regions and to private health expenditure shock in all regions. The study indicates that achieving sustainable improvement in health outcomes in SSA would require policies designed to expand health financing options beyond the traditional public and private funding arrangements.
Preventing and responding to violence against women: A case study from Vietnam
Authors: Huong Phan Thi Lan
Published: October 2024

Violence against women (VAW) has significant detrimental effects on the daily lives of women and the overall development of society. Addressing VAW poses a considerable challenge for nations striving to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs). Vietnamese society, deeply influenced by Confucianism and Buddhism, continues to perpetuate male preferences. The persistence of gender stereotypes and discrimination shaped by societal norms serves as an underlying cause of VAW in Vietnam. Despite the Vietnamese government’s efforts since 2010 to implement prevention and response programs for gender-based violence, the alarming reality is that nearly 63% of women report experiencing at least one form of violence in their lives. However, various obstacles prevent many of these women from seeking legal protection. These obstacles include inadequate support services, burdensome proof requirements, and fear of re-victimization. Thus, the crucial question of how to effectively eliminate VAW in Vietnam remains a major concern, influencing the nation’s progress toward achieving the SDGs and upholding its commitment as a member country of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. This paper analyzes the obstacles Vietnam faces in its efforts to prevent and respond to VAW, aiming to safeguard women’s rights and advance gender equality.

Inheritance, Identity, and Power: The Role of Women and Maternal Uncle in Khasi Matrilineal Lineage System
Authors: - Mebabynta Mylliemngap
Published: October 2024

The Khasi tribe of Meghalaya, India, is one of the few societies globally that practices matrilineal descent, where inheritance, identity, and power are transmitted through the female line. This system, which places women as the primary custodians of property and lineage, contrasts sharply with patriarchal norms seen in most other societies. At the heart of the Khasi matrilineal structure are two key figures: the woman (usually the youngest daughter) and her maternal uncle, known as u “Kni”. While women inherit property and are responsible for maintaining the family’s social standing, the maternal uncle wields substantial authority over family matters, making key decisions regarding resources, social obligation, and the family's future.
This study investigates the intertwined roles of women and maternal uncles in the Khasi society, focusing on how inheritance practices shape identity and power within the family and community. Using qualitative ethnographic methods and historical analysis, this research will delve into how these roles have evolved and the challenges they face in a modernizing world. Semi-structured interviews with Khasi families, including both women and maternal uncles, will provide a deep understanding of the lived experiences of these key actors. The study will also explore the influence of external factors such as education,
urbanization, and shifting gender norms on traditional Khasi customs.
The research will employ a case study approach focusing on multiple Khasi families across rural and urban settings to assess how geographic location impacts the persistence of traditional roles. Participant observation will be used to observe family interactions and the decision-making process about inheritance and property division. Document analysis of Khasi legal and cultural records will complement the fieldwork, providing historical context for the development of matrilineal systems in the region. This mixed-methods approach ensures that both contemporary and historical perspectives are incorporated.
Findings from this study will highlight the complementary but sometimes contested nature of the relationship between Khasi women and their maternal uncles. Women, as custodians of the family’s material and social inheritance, hold significant status in their families and communities, yet their power
is often moderated by the uncle’s authority, who acts as a guardian and decision-maker. This dual structure, while empowering women in many respects, also introduces tensions, especially in matters related to property disputes, marriage arrangements, and family governance
Conservatives are less accurate than liberals at recognizing false climate statements, and disinformation makes conservatives less discerning: Evidence from 12 countries
Authors: Spampatti Tobia , Hahnel Ulf J. J. , Brosch Tobias
Published: October 2024

Competing hypotheses exist on how conservative political ideology is associated with susceptibility to misinformation. We performed a secondary analysis of responses from 1,721 participants from twelve countries in a study that investigated the effects of climate disinformation and six psychological interventions to protect participants against such disinformation. Participants were randomized to receiving twenty real climate disinformation statements or to a passive control condition. All participants then evaluated a separate set of true and false climate-related statements in support of or aiming to delay climate action in a truth discernment task. We found that conservative political ideology is selectively associated with increased misidentification of false statements aiming to delay climate action as true. These findings can be explained as a combination of expressive responding, partisanship bias, and motivated reasoning.

THE CONVENTION ON THE PROHIBITION OF MILITARY OR ANY OTHER HOSTILE USE OF ENVIRONMENTAL MODIFICATION TECHNIQUES (ENMOD) — ISSUES AND RELEVANCE ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE RUSSIAN-UKRAINIAN CONFLICT
Authors: WOJNOWSKI Kamil Wojciech
Published: October 2024

Środowisko naturalne od zawsze w historii konfliktów zbrojnych było „cichą ofiarą” wojny, na skutek szkód bezpośrednich, jak i pośrednich wywołanych działaniami wojennymi. Dopiero w latach 70. XX wieku na skutek doświadczeń wojny wietnamskiej w kontekście używania defoliantów i herbicydów oraz zwiększenia się świadomości bezpieczeństwa ekologicznego wśród członków społeczności międzynarodowej, spowodowało powstanie pierwszych przepisów na gruncie międzynarodowego prawa humanitarnego chroniących środowisko naturalne. Wobec czego celem niniejszego artykułu jest zaprezentowanie jednej z najważniejszych umów międzynarodowych w tej materii, czyli Konwencji o zakazie wojskowego lub innego wrogiego wykorzystywania technik modyfikacji środowiska (ENMOD) w celu wykazania, dlaczego powyższa konwencja została stworzona w latach 70. XX w., a nie w innej dekadzie. Jednocześnie poddając analizie najważniejsze artykuły ENMOD, celem jest zidentyfikowanie kluczowych problemów konwencji w odniesieniu do konfliktu zbrojnego rosyjsko-ukraińskiego. Dlatego głównym problemem badawczym jest możliwość zastosowania omawianej umowy międzynarodowej ENMOD dla ochrony środowiska naturalnego w sytuacji konfliktu zbrojnego na przykładzie trwającej wojny rosyjsko-ukraińskiej. Według postawionej hipotezy badawczej konwencja ENMOD nie ma zastosowania dla zdecydowanej większości szkód środowiskowych spowodowanych konfliktem zbrojnym, niemniej jest kluczowym traktatem, który uzupełnia ogólny i szczególny reżim ochrony środowiska naturalnego w sytuacji konfliktu zbrojnego. Na potrzeby rozwiązania postawionego problemu badawczego i weryfikacji hipotezy w artykule zastosowano metodologię opartą na metodzie jakościowej, poddając analizie i krytycznej ocenie literaturę przedmiotu, przy jednoczesnym wykorzystaniu na gruncie nauk prawnych metody dogmatycznoprawnej w odniesieniu do aktów prawnych i historyczno-prawnej, aby ukazać genezę i ewolucję konwencji ENMOD. Autor w analizie dochodzi do wniosku, że ENMOD nie ma zastosowania dla większości szkód środowiskowych spowodowanych działaniami zbrojnymi, czego dowodzi konflikt zbrojny rosyjsko-ukraiński, gdzie obie strony konfliktu są związane tym traktem, jednakże ENMOD jest ważnym uzupełnieniem reżimu ochrony środowiska naturalnego w sytuacji konfliktu zbrojnego.
ANALYSIS OF COMPUTER NETWORK STATISTICS FOR IDENTIFYING STABILITY-DISRUPTING INFORMATION FLOWS IN MILITARY LOCAL NETWORKS
Authors: TANRIVERDIYEV Elshan Elyar
Published: October 2024

The increasing complexity and scope of military computer networks necessitate robust methods to ensure network stability and security. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of computer network statistics in military local networks to develop a method for detecting information flows that disrupt stability. By leveraging advanced statistical techniques and machine learning algorithms, this research aims to enhance the cybersecurity posture of military local networks globally. Military networks are vital for communication, data exchange, and operational coordination. However, the dynamic nature of network traffic and the persistent threat of cyberattacks pose significant challenges to maintaining network stability. Traditional monitoring techniques often fail to meet the unique requirements of military networks, which demand high levels of security and rapid response capabilities. This study employs a multi-faceted approach to detect anomalies in network traffic, utilizing statistical methods such as Z-score analysis, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models. Machine learning techniques, including Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forests, Neural Networks, K-means clustering, and Reinforcement Learning, are also applied to identify patterns indicative of stability-disrupting information flows. The integration of statistical and machine learning methods forms a hybrid model that enhances anomaly detection, providing a robust framework for network security. The research problem is formulated as follows: does data collection include comprehensive network traffic data from various segments of military local area networks, including packet flows, transmission rates, and error rates over a specified period? Statistical analysis identifies patterns in the network traffic, which are then used to train machine learning models to classify normal and abnormal traffic. The research hypothesis states that machine learning models achieve high accuracy in detecting stability-disrupting information flows, with a precision rate exceeding 90%. The models identified several instances of stability-disrupting events, correlating these with known security incidents to validate the effectiveness of the detection method. This study underscores the importance of continuous monitoring and analysis of network statistics to ensure stability and security. The proposed method can be integrated with existing network monitoring and intrusion detection systems, providing a comprehensive approach to network security. Future research can build on these findings to develop more sophisticated models and explore additional factors influencing network stability, including the incorporation of advanced machine learning techniques, such as deep learning, and the exploration of other network metrics, like latency and packet loss. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance the security and operational reliability of military local networks.

In this work, two inertial algorithms for approximating common elements of the sets of solu-
tions of three important problems are constructed. The first problem is a generalized mixed equilibrium one
involving relaxed monotone mapping, the second is a zero problem of inverse strongly monotone mappings,
while the third one is a fixed point problem of a family of relatively nonexpansive mappings. The first algorithm
is a shrinking projection type for a common solution of all the three problems. The second is a generalized Alber
projection free method for the second and the third problems. Each of the devised algorithms uses the conjugate
gradient-like direction, which allows it to accelerate its iterates toward a solution of the problems. The strong
convergence theorem for each of the algorithms is formulated and proved in a real 2 - uniformly convex and
uniformly smooth Banach space. Additionally, the applications of our algorithms to convex optimization prob-
lems and image recovery problems are studied. The advantages and computational efficiency of our methods
are analyzed based on their numerical performance in comparison to some of the existing and recently proposed
methods using numerical example.

In this work, we propose and study an inertial Krasnosel’ski˘ı-Mann iterative algorithm with
step-size parameters involving nonexpansive mapping to find a solution of a fixed point problem of a nonex-
pansive mapping in the frame work of Hilbert spaces. Strong convergence of the new proposed algorithm is
proved under some useful properties of a nonexpansive mapping and inequalities on real Hilbert spaces to-
gether with the appropriate conditions of scalar controls without relying on the concept of viscosity methods.
For the applications, we employ the obtained results to find a zero point of some monotone inclusion problems
and then apply to solve image restoration problems. For representing the advantage of the new algorithm, the
signal to noise ratio (SNR) with various types of blurring operators and some numerical experiments are pre-
sented to compare and illustrate the behavior of the new algorithm with numerical results of some previous
existing algorithms.

The goal of this paper is to examine both necessary and sufficient conditions for a specific feasible
point to be a global minimizer for reverse quasiconvex programming problems. These results are obtained in
terms of adequate approximate subdifferentials and can be viewed as the problem of a convex maximization
problem constrained by a convex set. Sufficient conditions for optimality are also established in terms of the
Greenberg-Pierskalla subdifferential. Illustrative examples are also given to illustrate the significance of the
obtained results.

of a graph of cosine function and classification of some noncommunicable diseases by using the extreme learn-
ing machine model. We perform a comparative analysis with other algorithms to demonstrate the performance
of our approach. Our numerical experiments confirm that our proposed algorithm outperforms other methods
in the literature.

Conjugate gradient techniques are known for their simplicity and minimal memory usage. How-
ever, it is known that in the vector optimization context, the Polak-Ribi´ere-Polyak (PRP), Liu-Storey (LS), and
Hestenes-Stiefel (HS) conjugate gradient (CG) techniques fail to satisfy the sufficient descent property using
Wolfe line searches. In this work, we propose a variation of the PRP, LS, and HS CG techniques that we termed
YPR, YLS, and YHS, respectively. These techniques exhibit the desirable property of sufficient descent without
line search, except for the YHS which uses Wolfe line search for its sufficient descent property. Under certain
standard assumptions and employing strong Wolfe conditions, we investigate the global convergence proper-
ties of the proposed techniques. The global convergence analysis extends beyond convexity assumption on
the objective functions. Additionally, we present numerical experiments and comparisons to demonstrate the
implementation, efficiency, and robustness of the proposed techniques.

For solving a common fixed point of a finite family of G-nonexpansive mappings, we propose a
parallel inertial SP-iteration monotone hybrid algorithm (PISPMHA). Weak convergence theorem is established
for PISPMHA in Hilbert spaces endowed with graphs. Convergence behavior of PISPMHA is analyzed and dis-
cussed. As applications, we apply PISPMHA to solve linear system, differential, and signal recovery problems.

This study delves into the concept of Levitin-Polyak well-posedness in the context of a general-
ized vector variational-type inequality problem with parameters (η, g, φ). Our primary objective is to establish
a comprehensive set of conditions that can be employed to rigorously assess the attributes of Levitin-Polyak
well-posedness, both in its standard form and as a generalized concept. To enhance the clarity and applicability
of these conditions, we provide an instructive example that elucidates the underlying assumptions and demon-
strates the practical implications of our research. Through this work, we contribute to the understanding and
practical implementation of well-posedness in variational inequality problems.

Starting from a characterization of polynomial dichotomy by means of admissibility, recently proved in
[Dragi\v cevi\'c, D.; Sasu, A. L.; Sasu, B.
Admissibility and polynomial dichotomy of discrete nonautonomous systems.
{\it Carpath. J. Math.} {\bf 38 } (2022), 737-762.], the aim of this paper is to explore the roughness of polynomial dichotomy in the presence of perturbations and to obtain a new robustness criterion. We show that the polynomial dichotomy is robust when subjected to linear additive perturbations which are bounded by a well-chosen sequence. We emphasize that the new bounds imposed to the perturbation family improve and extend the previous approaches. Furthermore, we mention that the main result applies to discrete nonautonomous systems in Banach spaces with the only requirement that their propagators exhibit a polynomial growth.

The aim of this paper is to generalize the results on expansive mappings of Ye\c silkaya and Aydin from Fixed Point Results of Expansive Mappings in Metric Spaces [see Yeşilkaya, S. S.; Aydin, C. Fixed Point Results of Expansive Mappings in Metric Spaces. Mathematics 8 (2020), 1800]. In the present paper we show that the conditions imposed on the function $\theta$ can be relaxed. Thus, we present more general fixed point results for q-expansive mappings in metric spaces and prove some fixed point theorems for this class of mappings, via a different approach. Finally, we present some examples to support the new results.

In this paper, we propose a new method for solving variational inclusion problems in Hilbert spaces. This algorithm uses two inertial terms to speed up the convergence. In order to avoid computing the Lipschitz stepsize, we use an updated stepsize which is not necessary to know the Lipschitz constant of the operator. The weak convergence is established under some mild conditions. We present numerical performance of the proposed algorithm and compare our algorithm with other algorithms in literature. Finally, we deduce our algorithm for solving the convex minimization problem and give an application to the data classification problem of heart failure dataset.

tions, called E-preinvex function. Later, we develop Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for the functions,
whose first and second order derivatives absolute values are E-preinvex.

The automorphism group of a Dihedral group of order 2n is isomorphic to the holomorph of a
cyclic group of order n. The holomorph of a cyclic group of order n is a complete group when n is odd. Hence
automorphism groups of Dihedral groups of order 2n are its own automorphism groups whenever n is odd. In
this paper, we prove that the result is also true for those Dihedral groups of order 2n where n is twice a prime
number.

A right module M over an associative ring R with unity is a QT AG-module if every finitely
generated submodule of any homomorphic image of M is a direct sum of uniserial modules. We show the clo-
sures properties for certain high submodules by the QT AG-modules and vice versa. Important generalizations
and certain related assertions of classical results in this direction are also established.
