Background: Online bullying often occurs among teenagers. This is an important risk factor for self-injurious behavior and suicidal ideation. This study aimed to analyze and estimate the magni¬tude of the effect of online bullying on self-injurious behavior and suicidal ideation in adolescents.

Subjects and Method: This research is a systematic review and meta-analysis using the PICO model. Population: Adolescents, Intervention: Online bullying, Comparison: No online bullying, Outcome: Self-injurious behavior and suicidal ideation. The research data used was obtained through Google Scholar, Science Direct, BMC Public Health, and Scopus with the keywords (“Cyberbullying”) AND (“Self-harm”) AND (“Suicidal Ideation”) AND (“Mental Health”) AND (“Cross-sectional”). Inclusion criteria were cross-sectional articles in English published from 2014 to 2024. Data analysis was carried out using the Review Manager 5.3 application.

Results: Meta-analysis was conducted on 8 primary studies with outcomes for self-harm behavior and 9 primary studies with outcomes for suicidal ideation. These primary studies come from Singapore, Vietnam, Taiwan, China, South Korea, Iran, Australia and America. The sample size was 47,708 adolescents for self-injurious behavior outcomes and 63,173 adolescents for suicidal ideation outcomes. Adolescents with online bullying are 3.64 times more likely to have self-injurious behavior (aOR= 3.64; 95% CI= 3.14 to 4.22; p<0.001) and 2.64 times more likely to have suicidal ideation (aOR= 2.64; 95% CI= 1.94 to 3.60; p<0.001) compared to adolescents without online bullying. The funnel plot indicates the existence of publication bias which tends to reduce the true effect (underestimate) on the outcome of suicidal ideation.

Conclusion: Online bullying statistically significantly increases the risk of self-injurious behavior and suicidal ideation in adolescents.

Keywords: cyberbullying, suicidal ideation, self-harm, adolescents.

Published: January 2025

A graph $G = (V,E)$ is called cordial if it is possible to label the vertex by the function $f:V\rightarrow{0,1}$ and label the edges by $%f^*:E\rightarrow{0,1}$, where $f^*(uv)=(f(u)+f(v)) mod 2$, $u,v\in V$ so that $|v_0-v_1|\le 1$ and $|e_0-e_1|\le 1$.A lemniscate graph is a plane curve with a characteristic shape, consisting of two loops that meet at a central point as shown below. The curve is also known as the lemniscate of Bernoulli. A fourth order of lemniscate graph is a graph of two fourth order of circles that have two vertex in common. In this paper, we give the conditions that the corona product of paths and fourth order of lemniscate graphs be cordial.
Using the Modified Decomposition Method Associated with Mohand Transforms for a Numerical Simulation of the Mathematical Model for Breast Cancer
Authors: Khader Mohamed , Tedjani Ali H.
Published: January 2025

We know that mathematical modeling is an important tool for understanding the dynamics of breast cancer (BC) development, spread and reduce new therapeutic approaches. So, in the current article, we have investigated the analytical solution of the mathematical model for BC by using the modified Adomian decomposition method (MADM). The MADM is based on theintegral transform (Mohand transform) with the Adomian decomposition procedure. The MADM provides a series of solutions that converge quickly to the exact solution for the proposed problem. The convergence of this method is discussed. Through this work, a numerical simulation was presented to solve the mathematical model under study with several values of the approximation order, rate of the estrogen source, and effectiveness of anti-cancer drugs, to understand the extent of their effect on the numerical solution and then on the nature and dynamics of the system, and to provide some recommendations to reduce the impact of this malignant tumor. In addition, we presented a comparison between the solution generated by the proposed technique and that numerical solution by utilizing the Runge-Kutta method (RK4M). Finally, the proposed method can also be extended to solving other models in the applied sciences.

The concept of $\delta\text{-}{\beta}_{\mathcal{I}}$-paracompactness in ideal topological spaces is introduced as a weaker form of $\beta$-paracompactness, which was looked at in \cite{YO}. This study examines several characterizations of $\delta\text{-}{\beta}_{\mathcal{I}}$-paracompact spaces and its subsets. Furthermore, we investigate the invariants of $\delta\text{-}{\beta}_{\mathcal{I}}$-paracompactness through functions.
Fourth-Order Differential Equations: Asymptotic andOscillatory Behaviors of Solutions
Authors: Almutairi Alanoud
Published: January 2025

Our aim in this work is to derive conditions and criteria for the oscillation of some differential equations of p-Laplace type with a delayed term. Therefore, we develop these criteria that confirm to us that the equations studied are oscillatory by applying comparison with lower-order equations and Riccati techniques . Finally, we can elucidate the meaning of the new inequalitiesby applying our findings to a few particular cases of the studied equation. Our findings build on earlier findings that looked at equations with a delay term and operators of the p-Laplace type. To demonstrate the importance of the acquired results, we provide an example.
Electrohydrodynamic Stability of Walters B′ Viscoelastic Dielectric Liquid Jet Streaming with Variable Velocity into Another Viscoelastic Fluid via Porous Medium
Authors: El-Sayed Mohamed F. , Mostafa Doaa M. , Alrashdi Ashwaq M. F.
Published: January 2025

A linear axisymmetric instability analysis of a streaming Walters B′ viscoelastic liquid jet with a parabolic velocity profile surrounded by viscoelastic fluid under the impact of an axial electric field via porous media is investigated in the Rayleigh and atomization modes. Only temporal instability is considered because, due to the large Weber number, both temporal and spatial instability give almost the same outcomes in the atomization regime. The dispersion relation is calculated to evaluate the growth rate of disturbances. The findings of stability analysis show that the viscoelastic parameters, electric field, velocity profile parameter, and porosity of the porous medium hinder instability for both Rayleigh and atomization modes, while the density ratio, dielectric constants, and kinematic viscosities enhance instability in both modes. Weber number hinders instability in Rayleigh mode, but it enhances instability in atomization mode. The effects of all parameters in atomization mode are found to be more unstable than those in Rayleigh mode. It is also demonstrated that the Walters B′ viscoelastic liquid jet is more stable than an inviscid liquid jet, and the breakup process in the atomization mode of instability occurs faster than in Rayleigh mode since liquid jet instability is closely related to drop formation and breakup.

Authors: Sawatraksa Nares , Tantong Piyaporn
Published: January 2025

In this paper, we investigate the left regularity, right regularity, and complete regularity of elements in subsemigroups of the semigroups of linear transformations with invariant subspaces. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for these subsemigroups to be left regular, right regular, and completely regular. Specifically, we examine semigroups of linear transformations with restricted range, invariant subspaces, and fixed subspaces. The results offer a comprehensive characterization of regular elements within these algebraic structures and extend existing work in this field. Our findings have potential applications in algebraic theory, particularly in the study of transformation semigroups and their subsemigroups.

Published: January 2025

Let $G$ be a graph. Then $C \subseteq V(G)$ is called a 2-distance certified hop dominating if $\forall$ $x \in V(G) \backslash C$, there exists $y \in C$ such that $d_G(x,y)=2$ and $\forall$ $a \in C$, $|N^2_G (a)\backslash C|=0$ or $|N^2_G (a)\backslash C|\geq 2$. The 2-distance certified hop domination number of $G$, denoted by $\gamma_{2ch}(G)$, is the minimum cardinality among all 2-distance certified hop dominating sets of $G$. In this study, the researchers give some properties of this concept on some graphs, and present some its connections with others parameters. Also, the researchers have introduced co-certified pointwise non-domination to characterize the 2-distance certified hop dominating sets in the join of two graphs. They obtain some simplified formulas of the said parameter on the join of some graphs using this newly defined concept and some characterizations formulated.

Published: January 2025

This study addresses the critical issue of understanding the numerical relevance of cubic-quartic solitonic expressions in birefringent fibers, a topic of increasing significance in the field of nonlinear optics due to its implications for optical communication and signal propagation. The research employs the improved Adomian decomposition scheme, developed to derive a generalized numerical method for solving complex-valued nonlinear evolution equations associated with solitons. The results demonstrate a high level of accuracy and are shown to be in total conformity with the established analytical solutions, found in the existing literature, thereby validating the effectiveness of the proposed numerical approach. Notably, the study reveals that even minor numerical errors can significantly influence the transported signal’s power, emphasizing the importance of precision in numerical methods for nonlinear systems.
The Monomiality Principle Applied to Extensions of Apostol-Type Hermite Polynomials
Authors: Díaz Stiven , Ramírez William , Cesarano Clemente , Hernández Juan , Perez Rodriguez Escarlin Claribel
Published: January 2025

In this research paper, we present a  class of polynomials referred to as Apostol-type Hermite-Bernoulli/Euler polynomials   $\mathcal{U}_\nu(x,y;\rho;\mu)$, which can be given by the following generating function\begin{equation*} \displaystyle \frac{2-\mu+\frac{\mu}{2}\xi}{\rho e^{\xi}+(1-\mu)}e^{x \xi+y \xi^2} =\displaystyle\sum\limits_{\nu=0}^{\infty}\mathcal{U}_\nu(x,y;\rho;\mu)\frac{\xi^\nu}{\nu!},\end{equation*}for some particular values of $\rho$ and $\mu$. Further, the summation formulae and determinant forms of these polynomials are derived. This novel family encompasses both the classical Appell-type polynomials and their noteworthy extensions. Our investigations heavily rely on generating function techniques, supported by illustrative examples to demonstrate the validity of our results. Furthermore, we introduce derivative and multiplicative operators, facilitating the definition of the  Apostol-type Hermite-Bernoulli/Euler polynomials as a quasi-monomial set.

In this current study, first we establish the modified power Atangana-Baleanu fractional derivative operators (MPC) in both the Caputo and Riemann-Liouville (MPRL) senses. Using the convolution approach and Laplace transformation, the so-called modified power fractional Caputo and R-L derivative operators with non-singular kernels are introduced. We establish theboundedness of the modified Caputo fractional derivative operator in this study. The fractional differential equations are solved with the generalised Laplace transform (GLT). In addition, the corresponding form of the fractional integral operator is defined. Also, we prove the boundedness and Laplace transform of the fractional integral operator. The composition of power fractionalderivative and integral operators is given in the study. Additionally, several examples related to our findings along with their graphical representation are presented.

Authors: Phetnun Phitthayathon , Kanasri Narakorn
Published: January 2025

Let K be an imaginary quadratic field with the ring of integers O_K. In the authors' earlier work, the so-called base-\beta(C) representation for nonzero elements of O_K was determined, where C is a complete residue system modulo \beta. Using such a representation, irreducibility criteria for polynomials in O_K[x] were established. In this paper, we provide the explicit shapes of all base-\beta(C) representations for nonzero elements of O_K. Generalizations of such irreducibility criteria for polynomials in O_K[x] under a certain condition are also established.

Authors: Elsharkawy Ayman , Elsayied Hoda , Refaat Aya
Published: January 2025

This paper introduces three distinct types of ruled surfaces, namely, the quasi-tangent surfaces , the quasi-normal surfaces, and the quasi-binormal surfaces. These types are determined by the orientation of their direction curves tangent, normal, and binormal to the base curve, respectively. This paper does not only introduce these surfaces but also determine their fundamental properties, including the first, the second, and the third fundamental forms, as well as the Gaussian and the mean curvatures. Also, the geodesic curvature, the normal curvature, and the geodesic torsion associated with the base curve for each type of surface are investigated. Furthermore, the conditions for the base curve to be as a geodesic, an asymptotic line, and a principal line for each type of surface are provided. Also, the conditions for these curves to be considered developable and minimal surfaces are introduced. Moreover, two illustrative examples are introduced to obtain our results

Convexity plays a dominant role in the modification of fractional inequalities. Most fractional inequalities are proved based on different types of convexity and fractional operators, which have immense applications in various areas of mathematics. This article aims to investigate the Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities with a different kind of convexity by the implementation of Prabhakar fractional operators. Moreover, we discuss the behavior of trapezoidal type inequalities for the $h$-Godunova-Levin pre-invex function through Prabhakar fractional operators. Additionally, we present a comparison of our findings with existing literature, which are summarized through corollaries.

Authors: Mohammed Wael , Iqbal Naveed , Alshammari Hijyah , Algolam Mohamed
Published: January 2025

In this study, we look at the stochastic Heisenberg Ferromagnetic equation (SHFE) perturbed in the Itô sense by multiplicative Brownian motion. The SHFE is transformed into a different Heisenberg Ferromagnetic equation with random variable coefficients (HFE-RVCs) utilizing the proper transformation. To provide novel solutions for trigonometric functions, hyperbolic functions, and rational functions for HFE-RVCs, we employ the generalizing Riccati equation mapping technique (GREM-method) and Jacobi elliptic functions (JEF-method). The solutions of SHFE can then be obtained. For the first time, we postulate that the solution to the Heisenberg Ferromagnetic equation is stochastic, in contrast to earlier research that suggested it was deterministic. Additionally, we investigate the impact of multiplicative Brownian motion on the exact solutions of the SHFE by offering several graphical representations.

An Efficient Adaptive Time-stepping Method for the Modeling of Epidemic Dynamics
Authors: Kim Junseok
Published: January 2025

In this study, we present a novel adaptive time-stepping method for efficient simulation of the epidemic models. Some examples of mathematical epidemic models are the susceptible–infected–removed (SIR) model, the susceptible–exposed–infected–removed (SEIR) model, the susceptible–infected–susceptible (SIS) model, the susceptible–infected–removed–susceptible (SIRS) model, and the susceptible–infected–quarantined–recovered (SIQR) model. Additionally, more complex models include the maternal immunity susceptible–infected–removed (MSIR) model, the age-structured SEIR model, and stochastic epidemic models. These models are designed to capture specific disease characteristics, such as latency, immunity duration, or intervention impacts, and are essential tools for studying the dynamics of infectious diseases in diverse populations. The proposed adaptive time-stepping method is based on the total magnitude of the summation of each compartment population differences after a single time step. Unlike other adaptive methodologies, the proposed algorithm requires no recalculation to satisfy a given tolerance and achieves the desired accuracy with a single update. Therefore, the adaptive time-stepping method is both straightforward and efficient. Several numerical tests are conducted to demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method.
On the Recognition Capacity of Abelian Graph Automata
Authors: Papadopoulos Kyriakos
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the recognition capacity of both unitary and non-unitary Abelian graph automata through the algebraic structure of graphoids. We investigate for the first time in the literature the recognition mechanism of non-unitary Abelian graph automata and prove that they can recognize graph languages which are beyond the recognition power of unitary graph automata. Consequently, we establish that the class of graph languages recognized by unitary automata is strictly contained within the class of those recognized by Abelian graph automata. These results manifest a proper hierarchy among graph automata classes and provide new insights into the recognition capabilities of graph automata.

La tricomoniasis bovina es una enfermedad capaz de provocar abortos en bovinos, se caracteriza por presentarse de forma asintomática en los machos y generalmente se transmite por vía venérea. La presencia de tricomoniasis bovina en un hato implica pérdidas económicas por la disminución de la producción de becerros. Considerando que Tamaulipas se caracteriza por la producción de bovinos, es importante evaluar enfermedades abortivas como la tricomoniasis bovina debido a que se ha reportado en estados colindantes como Veracruz al Sur y Texas EUA al Norte. El objetivo de esta investigación fue buscar la presencia de Tritrichomonas foetus en la zona centro de Tamaulipas mediante el uso de la PCR punto final, a partir de muestras de cavidad prepucial de bovinos. Se obtuvieron y procesaron 45 muestras de bovinos de razas cárnicas de Tamaulipas en un periodo de un año; todas las muestras fueron negativas a T. foetus. En este estudio es posible que la alta tecnificación reproductiva en la zona de estudio favorezca la probabilidad de la ausencia de este parásito.
AUDIT ON MEDICAL THORACOSCOPY IN PATIENTS WITH EXUDATIVE PLEURAL EFFUSION IN TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL IN CENTRAL SRI LANKA
Authors: Nawarathne Ishelda , Madegedara Dushantha
Published: January 2025

IntroductionPleural effusion is a common condition in respiratory medicine, yet about 20% of cases remain unexplained even after thorough evaluation, including closed pleural biopsy. Medical thoracoscopy (MT) has emerged as the preferred diagnostic and therapeutic tool for exudative pleural effusions, especially valuable for patients at high risk for more invasive procedures like VATS. At the National Hospital -Kandy in Sri Lanka, several deficits were identified in the thoracoscopy procedure, prompting a prospective audit aimed at improving service quality and patient care. British Thoracic Society guideline on thoracoscopy procedure was used as the standard for comparison with our data.MethodThis prospective, standard-based audit was conducted among 75 patients who underwent medical thoracoscopy at Respiratory Unit 11, National Hospital Kandy, Sri Lanka, between January 2021 and December 2022. Data collection was primarily carried out through direct questioning of patients, supplemented by information extracted from patient records and observations documented in a data collection form. This study evaluates key aspects of patient care following chest tube insertion, focusing on consent acquisition, real-time ultrasound use, and monitoring for complications like fever, pain, pneumothorax, and infection. It also examines post-procedure mobility, patient satisfaction, chest tube drainage duration, and hospital stay length to assess their impact on patient outcomes and improve chest tube management practices.ResultsInformed written consent was obtained from over 94% of patients. Pre-procedure chest CT was performed for 50% of patients, while only 60% had real-time ultrasound guidance during the procedure. No significant complications related to the thoracoscopy were reported. Most patients expressed satisfaction with the procedure, and 95% received a definitive diagnosis, with only 5% having an uncertain diagnosis.DiscussionSignificant deficiencies in the practice of medical thoracoscopy (MT) at National Hospital Kandy, Sri Lanka, have been identified. In response, we implemented several improvements: standard documentation templates were introduced to enhance record-keeping, real-time ultrasound scans were integrated to improve procedural accuracy, and a protocol for the safe and efficient transportation of samples was established. Additionally, we introduced small-gauge chest drains to minimize patient discomfort and enhance post-procedure pain management. These recommendations aim to systematically advance thoracoscopy practices, ensuring better patient outcomes and upholding high standards of care.
A REVIEW STUDY ON SMALL DIFFERENTIATIVE BETWEEN ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES (PROGESTIN-ONLY PILLS/ COMBINED HORMONAL PILLS)
Authors: Upadhyay Khushi , Tyagi Shaily , Kumari Ompi , Bharadwaj Soumya
Published: January 2025

Oral contraceptive pills, are commonly used drugs to manage a number of reproductive health issues and prevent unwanted births. They are divided into two main categories: progestin-only pills (POPs) and combined oral contraceptives (COCs), which contain synthetic estrogen and progestin. In order to stop conception and implantation, COCs mainly function by suppressing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and changing the endometrial lining.Numerous people utilize contraceptives; according to 2019 statistics, 790 million (42%) use the traditional technique. The most popular methods of birth control are female sterilization and male condoms, which are used by 922 million women of reproductive age worldwide. According to 2019 data, 219 million of these women (24%), and 189 million of them (21%), use female sterilization and male condoms, respectively. Since 1994, the use of IUDs and conventional procedures has decreased globally. The WHO states that the condom is the only method of birth control that can prevent both unwanted pregnancies and STDs. Between 2015 and 2020, the need for family planning increased by 77% worldwide. In 2020, there will be 2000 million women who have used family planning methods, up from 900 million in the previous 20 years. The number of people using modern contraceptive techniques has likewise climbed from 663 million to 851 million, with a 47.7% to 49.0% prevalence rate. Numerous types of birth control are available, including hormonal treatments, which include CHC vaginal rings, CHC transdermal patches, and combination hormonal contraceptives. IUDs with progestin, DMPA injections, implants, progestin-only pills, and hormonal male contraceptives are examples of progestin-only techniques. The other approach is non-hormonal and involves vaginal pH modulators, barrier techniques like condoms, and copper IUDs.

The evaluation process involved the conduction of interviews with key stakeholders, including EE program heads, experts, and resource persons as well as the evaluation of NCERT books and recommended pedagogical practices. Analysis revealed that EE courses and content, are primarily theoretical and tend to promote a utilitarian understanding of nature. While these programmes may offer innovative projects, ideas, and practices, they do not necessarily address the shift in thinking and values required to evolve into responsible earth citizens. This makes it challenging for children to think ethically about natural ecosystems and develop strong connectedness with nature. The author thus argues for a shift in EE paradigm, utilising the profound insights of ancient Indian eco-philosophy presented in Indian Knowledge System. EE can be made effective and meaningful for young children by implementing intervention programs based on experiential activities. The findings have implications for educators, resource persons and policymakers. Insights obtained would help in gaining a better understanding of the strengths and limitations of the program as well as giving directions for future.

Once it was very easy to treat with either topical or systemic antifungal agents but now become a challenge for dermatologists because of increasing resistance against conventional antifungals fluconazole, itraconazole, and terbinafine with standard dosages and duration for the last few years. So, search for an effective new oral antifungal agent now become essential.
Materials & methods: This cross-sectional comparative study was conducted in Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh to observe the efficacy of voriconazole and oral terbinafine in the treatment of relapse or resistant tinea corporis & cruris. Out of total tinea infected patients selected only those patients who didn’t respond to routine treatment, relapsed soon after stoppage of treatment or those having persistent dermatophytic infection. A total number of 100 patients was selected and they were allocated into two groups (group-A and group-B), each of which included 50 patients. Group A was received Voriconazole (200 mg) twice daily for 4 weeks and group B patients given double dose of Terbinafine (250 mg) twice daily for 4 weeks. Patients were followed up on 2nd week (1st follow up) and 4th week (2nd follow up) to see clinical improvement and adverse effects.
Results: Mean age was found 32.4±5.7 years in group A and 31.9±5.9 years in group B. Out of 50 cases, 54.0% cases were male in group A and 56.0% in group B. Large number of respondents hailing from urban area. Socioeconomically middle class (42.0%) comprising the major percentage of the patients. Majority of patients (52%) had a duration of tinea between 6 months to < 2 years (27%). All patient (100%) had tinea corporis and tinea cruris was present in 72.0% patients. Complete cure was seen in 82% of patient in group A and 64.0% patients in group B. The difference was statistically significant, means voriconazole is highly effective antifungal agent than terbinafine.

Published: January 2025

An increasing curiosity in communication through visual narratives has been observed in recent years in multidisciplinary research. This paper seeks to explore the role of onomatopoeia or ideophones in visual narratives, focusing on the Bengali comics, ‘Hada Bhoda’ and the Japanese manga, ‘Doraemon’. Onomatopoeic words can serve both as a linguistic and visual tool to enhance visual storytelling by representing different actions, emotions and atmospheres. By using a qualitative content analysis method, this study analyses how sound-symbolic expressions are integrated into picture stories to reflect cultural nuances. The study also examines the performative functions through the multisensory functions of ideophones. This cross-linguistic analysis offers significant implications for communication, media and education.
