On Revisiting the Name of the Chi-squared Test for Homogeneity of Proportions
Bernard L. Dillard
Abstract: Approximately a century and a quarter ago, Karl Pearson placed his statistical stake in the ground, coining his famous chi-squared test for comparing differences between proportions. A staple methodology in the statistical community—both domestic and international—it is the go-to path taken in reference to exploiting truths involving basic contingency tables. Upon closer inspection, however, one discovers that this notion, in all of its glory and splendor, has endured an entire lifetime with a glaring misnomer. Its updated name should be obvious.

Menarche to Menopause: Closing India's Gaps in Women's Reproductive Health
Dr. Aanandita Swami
Abstract: From the moment an Indian girl experiences her first menstrual cycle (menarche) through her transition into menopause, she traverses a long and often complex journey of reproductive health. Gynecological issues during this life course encompass far more than pregnancy and childbirth, extending to a variety of concernsmenstrual irregularities, pelvic infections, infertility, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), gynecological cancers, and the challenges of menopause. Many of these conditions have a profound impact on quality of life, family dynamics, and personal well-being, yet remain under-discussed and under-prioritized in India.
B12 Before Iron - A Case - Based Protocol for Treating Severe Dimorphic Anaemia
Dr. MEGHA GOYAL
Abstract: Anaemia is a global public health crisis of staggering proportions, affecting over two billion people worldwide. India stands at the epicenter of this challenge, with a particularly high prevalence among women of reproductive age and pregnant women. The National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5, 2019-21) alarmingly reports that 57% of women aged 15-49 in India are anaemic. While iron deficiency has long been recognized as the primary culprit, a growing body of evidence highlights the complexity of nutritional anaemias in the Indian subcontinent. A significant portion of these cases are not due to a single nutrient deficiency but a combination of factors.

Infertility Management: What’s the Latest?
Dr. Nishi Lata Arya
Abstract: Infertility is defined clinically as the inability to achieve pregnancy after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse (in women under 35; after 6 months if age ≥35). It is a common condition, affecting an estimated 1 in 6 people of reproductive age worldwide. In fact, the World Health Organization reported in 2023 that approximately 17.5% of the global adult population experiences infertility at some point, underscoring the substantial public health impact.

Dr. Megha Goyal
Abstract: Globally, an estimated 73 million induced abortions occur each year, with a staggering 61% of all unintended pregnancies ending in abortion. This highlights a significant and persistent unmet need for effective contraception. Post-abortion contraception, defined as the initiation and use of contraceptive methods immediately following an abortion or before the return of fertility, stands as a critical intervention in public health and a cornerstone of comprehensive abortion care.

Review of Fire-Retardant Materials in Bamboo and Other Lignocellulosic Substrates: Mechanisms and Efficacy
Nihal Basheer M C, Pradeep K Kushwaha
Abstract: The combustion behaviour of wood and bamboo presents a significant challenge for their use as construction materials due to their lignocellulosic nature. Historically, various chemical treatments have been employed to enhance the fire resistance of lignocellulosic materials. Early methods utilized boron-based and phosphorus-based compounds. Recently, advancements have introduced silicon-based and nanomaterial-based fire retardants (FRs). Additionally, carbon-based materials, such as carbon nanotubes and graphene, have garnered considerable interest from researchers. This paper examines the range of fire-retardant materials applied to lignocellulosic substrates.

Oscar Chang ’a , Dr. Julieth Koshuma Lecturer
Abstract: This study examines the impact of manifest mismatch information on cargo operations at Inland Container Depots (ICDs) in Tanzania, with particular attention to the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in reducing these challenges. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, combining structured questionnaires, interviews, and documentary review. Findings reveal that manifest mismatches commonly arise from human errors, system incompatibilities, lack of coordination, and fraudulent practices.
“Less Pain, Better Healing”: Addressing Postpartum Perineal Pain in Rural India through Evidence-Based Episiotomy Suturing
Dr. Preeti. Sindhu
Abstract: Background & context. Postpartum perineal pain is one of the most common morbidities after vaginal birth. In India—where ~89% of births are now institutional (and ~87% even in rural areas)—perineal trauma from episiotomy or spontaneous tears affects large numbers of new mothers, with consequences for mobility, breastfeeding, continence, sexual health, and mental wellbeing. Global guidance discourages routine episiotomy and emphasizes correct repair, yet studies from Indian settings continue to report high and variable episiotomy rates and gaps in repair technique, supplies, and training, especially in rural facilities.

Assessment of The Impact of Houthi Ships Attacks in The Red Sea in Operations Efficiency of Tanzania's Shipping Sector
Godfrey Erick Ayilla, Dr. Julieth Koshuma
Abstract: This study assesses the impact of Houthi ship attacks in the Red Sea on Tanzania’s shipping sector. The Red Sea, a critical maritime corridor linking Asia, Africa, and Europe, has faced rising insecurity due to Houthi attacks, which have disrupted global shipping routes and increased operational costs. Tanzania, being heavily dependent on maritime trade through the Port of Dar es Salaam, has been indirectly affected by these disruptions. The study adopted a mixed-methods approach with a sample of 96 respondents drawn from shipping companies, port authorities, logistics firms, and traders. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented in tables and graphs, while qualitative insights were obtained through interviews with key stakeholders. The findings revealed that Tanzanian shipping companies are incurring higher operational costs due to increased freight charges, elevated insurance premiums, and additional fuel consumption from rerouted voyages. Trade scheduling has also been negatively affected, with longer transit times causing port congestion and delays in cargo clearance. These disruptions have collectively reduced trade volumes, increased costs of imports and exports, and negatively affected the profitability of logistics operators and port stakeholders. The study concludes that Tanzania’s shipping sector is highly vulnerable to external geopolitical shocks emanating from the Red Sea crisis. To address these challenges, the study recommends strengthening regional and international maritime security cooperation, modernizing Tanzanian port infrastructure, diversifying trade corridors, and developing cost-sharing mechanisms between shippers and government institutions. These measures will enhance the resilience of Tanzania’s shipping sector and ensure continuity of maritime trade in the face of global disruptions.
