(R2087) Modal Operators on Bipolar Intuitionistic Fuzzy Matrices
Full text linkBipolar intuitionistic fuzzy sets are currently a robust area in several industries. Additionally, bipolar intuitionistic fuzzy matrices are a highly regarded topic in many fields including psychology, engineering, qualitative reasoning and multi-criteria decision making. A civilization must deal with negative and positive problems. In this article, we discussed some algebraic properties of modal operators on bipolar intuitionistic fuzzy matrices. Finally, we derive some results of necessity and possibility operators along with Max-Min product

Full text linkA Survey Of Jamaica Constabulary Force Officers’ Opinions About Juveniles, The Causes Of Delinquency And Self-Legitimacy
Full text linkThis study explored the perceptions of Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) officers regarding juveniles, the causes of juvenile delinquency, and their self-legitimacy. It examined whether these perceptions were influenced by demographic factors such as police officers’ age, gender, rank, years of service, age at entry into the police force, educational level, and divisional classification. Additionally, it investigated the relationship between officers\u27 perceptions of juveniles, causes of juvenile delinquency and their sense of self-legitimacy.
Previous research had extensively studied juvenile delinquency, causes of juvenile delinquency and police legitimacy, but there remained a significant gap in understanding how Jamaica police officers’ demographics influenced their perceptions of juveniles, causes of juvenile delinquency and self-legitimacy. Existing literature suggested that officers\u27 attitudes toward juveniles and their views on the causes of delinquency could impact their interactions with young people and their broader role in law enforcement. However, there was a lack of empirical data specific to the Jamaican context, as to how or whether police demographics may influence these perceptions.
JCF officers were surveyed regarding their demographics, and their perceptions of juveniles, the causes of juvenile delinquency, and their self-legitimacy. The data were collected electronically through the JCF’s webmail service and WhatsApp groups over a period of eight weeks. Descriptive statistics summarized the demographic characteristics of the sample. Chi-square analysis was used to examine the relationships between the independent variables, police officers’ age, gender, rank, years of service, age at entry into the police force, educational level, and divisional classification and the dependent variables police officers’ opinions of juveniles, causes of juvenile delinquency and their self-legitimacy. The significance level was set at p \u3c 0.05. The study encountered potential response bias, as participants might have provided socially desirable answers. To mitigate this, the survey was designed to ensure anonymity and encourage honest responses. The findings informed policies, training programs, and interventions aimed at improving police-juvenile interactions in Jamaica. By understanding these dynamics, the study contributed to enhancing the legitimacy of the police and fostering positive relationships between law enforcement and the community.

(R2070) Poisson-Exponentiated Weibull Distribution: Properties, Applications and Extension
Full text linkIn this article, we introduce a new member of the Poisson-X family namely, the Poisson-exponentiated Weibull distribution. The statistical as well as the distributional properties of the new distribution are studied, and the performance of the maximum likelihood method of estimation is verified by a simulation study. The flexibility of the distribution is illustrated by a real data set. We develop and study a reliability test plan for the acceptance or rejection of a lot of products submitted for inspection when their lifetimes follow the new distribution. A real data example is also given to illustrate the feasibility of the sampling plan developed. Later, we introduce a bivariate analogue of the Poisson-exponentiated Weibull distribution called the Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern bivariate Poisson-exponentiated Weibull distribution and consider the concomitants of order statistics that arise from this bivariate distribution. The distribution theory of the concomitants of order statistics is also developed

(SI13-07) Optimal Range for Value of Two-person Zero-sum Game Models with Uncertain Payoffs
Full text linkGame theory deals with the decision-making of individuals in conflicting situations with known payoffs. However, these payoffs are imprecisely known, which means they have uncertainty due to vagueness in the data set of most real-world problems. Therefore, we consider a two-person zero-sum game model on a larger scale where the payoffs are imprecise and lie within a closed interval. We define the pure and mixed strategy as well as value for the game models. The proposed method computes the optimal range for the value of the game model using interval analysis. To derive some important results, we establish some lemmas that relate the value of interval game models to their payoffs and then prove some important theorems. Furthermore, we establish the min-max theorem for the most and least mixed strategies of the game model. Then, we obtain the bounds of optimal mixed strategies as well as the approximate value of the game model. The developed theories are verified and demonstrated through realistic two-person zero-sum game models with interval payoffs
