Consequences of gender-based violence on female high school students in eastern Ethiopia
No full textGender-based violence (GBV) is a significant global public health problem and adversely impacts the physical and mental health of women. This study aimed to determine the consequences of GBV (including sexual, physical, emotional, and overall GBV) on female high school students in eastern Ethiopia. An institutional-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1,199 female high school students in eastern Ethiopia using a self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were calculated. Chi-square tests were used to analyse the data. This study revealed that more than half (55%) of the study participants had experienced any type of GBV during their lifetime. There were statistically significant differences between the educational status and childhood residence of participants who experienced and participants who did not experience sexual violence, physical violence, emotional violence, and any type of GBV in their lifetime (p<0.001). Students who had experienced sexual violence during their lifetime reported consequences of physical health, including swelling around genitalia (33.7%), unusual vaginal discharge (30.7%), and injury around the genitalia (23.9%). Mental health consequences included self-blame (35.7%), and anxiety (23.3%). Educational consequences included poor school performance (36.1%), absenteeism (34.6%), and dropout (28.9%). Students who had experienced any type of GBV during their lifetime reported consequences of physical violence, including poor school performance (18.7%), and withdrawal from school (9.0%). The main perpetrators of any type of GBV were reported to be family members, students, or boyfriends/husbands. GBV is a severe public health problem among female high school students. Primary and secondary prevention is vital to curb the consequences of GBV.
La violence basée sur le genre (VBG) est un problème de santé publique mondial important et a un impact négatif sur la santé physique et mentale des femmes. Cette étude visait à déterminer les conséquences de la VBG (y compris sexuelle, physique, émotionnelle et globale) sur les lycéennes de l'est de l'Éthiopie. Une enquête transversale en milieu institutionnel a été menée auprès de 1 199 lycéennes dans l'est de l'Éthiopie à l'aide d'un questionnaire auto-administré. Des statistiques descriptives ont été calculées. Des tests du chi carré ont été utilisés pour analyser les données. Cette étude a révélé que plus de la moitié (55 %) des participants à l'étude avaient subi tout type de VBG au cours de leur vie. Il y avait des différences statistiquement significatives entre le statut scolaire et la résidence d'enfance des participants qui ont subi et des participants qui n'ont pas subi de violence sexuelle, de violence physique, de violence émotionnelle et de tout type de VBG au cours de leur vie (p<0,001). Les élèves qui ont subi des violences sexuelles au cours de leur vie ont signalé des conséquences sur leur santé physique, notamment un gonflement autour des organes génitaux (33,7 %), des pertes vaginales inhabituelles (30,7%) et des blessures autour des organes génitaux (23,9 %). Les conséquences sur la santé mentale comprenaient l'auto-accusation (35,7%) et l'anxiété (23,3 %). Les conséquences sur l'éducation comprenaient de mauvais résultats scolaires (36, %), l'absentéisme (34,6 %) et le décrochage (28,9 %). Les élèves qui ont subi tout type de VBG au cours de leur vie ont signalé les conséquences de la violence physique, notamment de mauvais résultats scolaires (18,7 %) et le retrait de l'école (9,0 %). Les principaux auteurs de tout type de VBG seraient des membres de la famille, des étudiants ou des petits amis/maris. La VBG est un grave problème de santé publique chez les lycéennes. La prévention primaire et secondaire est vitale pour freiner les conséquences de la VBG
Wiener index of quadrangulation graphs
No full textThe Wiener index of a graph G, denoted W(G), is the sum of the distances between all non-ordered pairs of vertices in G.E. Czabarka, et al. conjectured that for a simple quadrangulation graph G on n vertices, n >= 4, W(G) <= {1/12n(3) + 7/6n-2, n 0 (mod 2), 1/12n(3) + 11/12n-1, n 1(mod 2). In this paper, we confirm this conjecture. (C) 2020 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V
The Minimum Number of 4-Cycles in a Maximal Planar Graph with Small Number of Vertices
No full textHakimi and Schmeichel determined a sharp lower bound for the number of cycles of length 4 in a maximal planar graph with n vertices, n≥ 5 . It has been shown that the bound is sharp for n= 5 , 12 and n≥ 14 vertices. However, the authors only conjectured the minimum number of cycles of length 4 for maximal planar graphs with the remaining small vertex numbers. In this note, we confirm their conjecture. © 2023, The Author(s) under exclusive licence to Iranian Mathematical Society
Land property rights and household take-up of development programs: Evidence from land certification program in Ethiopia
No full textAccess to secure land plays a key role in the socio-economic development of agricultural households. Since 1998, large-scale land certification programs aimed at strengthening the land property rights of agricultural households in Ethiopia have been implemented across regions to varying degrees. Using a three-period, large-scale nationally representative panel dataset from Ethiopia, this paper investigates the importance of access to secure land property right in the form of land certification for household take-up of agricultural development interventions that aim to improve household agricultural productivity and sustainable land use at a community level. We studied the take-up of agricultural extension packages and participation in community level sustainable land and water management programs as outcome variables. To account for potential endogeneity in the allocation of certificates and other confounding factors, we applied different panel data methods including instrumental variable approach. We find that access to secure property rights have a positive and significant effect on household take-up agricultural development interventions: agricultural extension packages and sustainable land and water management interventions. Additionally, we find that land certificates significantly predict household adoption of chemical fertilizers. (c) 2021 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The Maximum Number of Paths of Length Three in a Planar Graph
No full textLet f(n, H) denote the maximum number of copies of H possible in an n-vertex planar graph. The function f(n, H) has been determined when H is a cycle of length 3 or 4 by Hakimi and Schmeichel and when H is a complete bipartite graph with smaller part of size 1 or 2 by Alon and Caro. We determine f(n, H) exactly in the case when H is a path of length 3. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG
