“…The World Health Organization defines violence as “the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, against another person or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm mal-development, or deprivation.” It is considered as a common universal public health issue due to its frequency and consequences against community [ 1 ]. Ethnic violence is a comprehensive term for violence that is prompted from hatred or racism or ethnic stresses or ethnic conflict [ 2 ].…”

“…Mathematical modeling has a continuous fundamental role in understanding of the various aspects of dynamical system of real-world situations like [ 17 – 21 ]. It has been formulated and analyzed in different disciplines such as natural sciences as well as social science like [ 1 – 5 , 9 , 22 – 33 ]. Many researchers have applied infectious disease dynamics model to violence, racism, social media addition, corruption, and other social situations.…”

“…Many researchers have applied infectious disease dynamics model to violence, racism, social media addition, corruption, and other social situations. From those researchers, some were applied modeling for social media addiction [ 34 ], some were used modeling for violence [ 1 – 3 , 33 ], some were applied modeling for racism [ 4 , 5 , 25 ], and others used modeling for corruption dynamics [ 22 – 24 , 26 – 28 , 35 – 38 ]. However, to the best of our knowledge, no one has developed and analyzed a mathematical model on violence-racism coexistence on individuals in a given society.…”

Recently, violence, racism, and their coexistence have been very common issues in most nations in the world. In this newly social science discipline mathematical modelling approach study, we developed and examined a new violence and racism coexistence mathematical model with eight distinct classes of human population (susceptible, violence infected, negotiated, racist, violence-racism coinfected, recuperated against violence, recuperated against racism, and recuperated against the coinfection). The model takes into account the possible controlling strategies of violence-racism coinfection. All the submodels and the violence-racism coexistence model equilibrium points are calculated, and their stabilities are analyzed. The model threshold values are derived. As a result of the model qualitative analysis, the violence-racism coinfection spreads under control if the corresponding basic reproduction number is less than unity, and it propagates through the community if this number exceeds unity. Moreover, the sensitivity analysis of the parameter values of the full model is illustrated. We have applied MATLAB ode45 solver to illustrate the numerical results of the model. Finally, from qualitative analysis and numerical solutions, we obtain relevant and consistent results.

“…One of the phenomena that can be presented by the mathematical model is the impact and expansion of racism-corruption coexistence among the communities. In this study, we have reviewed a literature done by other scholars to examine the spread and transmission of racism and corruption single existence as infectious diseases with a mathematical modelling approach as stated in [ 8 , 9 , 12 , 15 , 18 , 21 – 23 , 27 , 28 , 30 , 31 , 39 – 45 ], some applied modeling approach for social media addiction [ 20 ], and some used modeling approach for violence [ 6 , 7 , 10 , 11 ]. However, to the best of our knowledge, no one has developed and analyzed a mathematical model on racism-corruption coexistence among individuals in a given society.…”

Racism and corruption are mind infections which affect almost all public and governmental sectors. However, we cannot find enough published literatures on mathematical model analyses of racism and corruption coexistence. In this study, we have contemplated the dynamics of racism and corruption coexistence in communities, using deterministic compartmental model to analyze and suggest proper control strategies to stakeholders. We used qualitative and comprehensive mathematical methods and analyzed both the racism model in the absence of corruption and the corruption model in the absence of racism. We have computed basic reproduction numbers by applying the next generation matrix method. The developed model has a disease-free equilibrium point that is locally asymptotically stable whenever the reproduction number is less than one. Additionally, we have done sensitivity analysis to observe the effect of the parameters on the incidence and transmission of the mind infections that deduce the transmission rates of both the racism and corruption are highly sensitive. The numerical simulation we have simulated showed that the endemic equilibrium point of racism and corruption coexistence model is locally asymptotically stable when max R r , R c > 1 , the effects of parameters on the basic reproduction numbers, and the effect of parameter on the infectious groups. Finally, the stakeholders must focus on minimizing the transmission rates and increasing the recovery (removed) rate for both racism and corruption action which can be considered prevention and controlling strategies.

“…Violence against women (VAW) is a recognised social and public health concern in most sub-Saharan African countries [1][2][3][4][5]. Intimate partner violence (IPV), generally referred to as abusive actions, such as physical, sexual or psychological aggression, as well as coercive acts by a current or former intimate partner, is the most common form of violence against women (VAW) [6][7][8][9]. Although IPV can occur within male-to-female and female-to-male as well as same-sex partnerships, the male-to-female type is known to be the most common and is known to women of all ages, cultures, geographies and sexual orientations [10,11].…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is recognised as a fundamental violation of women’s human rights and a widespread phenomenon in Africa. Women’s low socioeconomic empowerment, cultural acceptability, and lack of social support exacerbate the health and psychosocial outcomes of IPV among African women. To date, there is no systematic research on IPV and its association with healthcare use among adult women in Uganda. Therefore, we conducted the present study on IPV among Ugandan women of childbearing age (15–49 years). Cross-sectional data on 7536 women were collected from the Uganda Demographic and Health Survey (UDHS—Uganda Demographic and Health Survey 2016). The objectives were to assess the predictors of IPV as well as help-seeking behaviour for victims of IPV. IPV was assessed by women’s experience of physical, emotional and sexual violence and healthcare use was assessed by self-reported medical visits during the last 12 months. Logistic regression methods were used to analyse the data. According to descriptive findings, which showed that more than half of the women reported experiencing any IPV (55.3%, 95%CI = 53.6, 57.0), emotional IPV (41.2%, 95%CI = 39.6, 42.8) was the most prevalent of all three categories, followed by physical (39.3%, 95%CI = 37.7, 40.9) and sexual IPV (22.0%, 95%CI = 20.7, 23.3). In the multivariate analysis, higher age, rural residence, religious background (non-Christian), ethnicity (Banyankore and Itseo), secondary/higher education and husband’s alcohol drinking habit were positively associated with women’s experience of IPV. Husband’s alcohol drinking was found to be a significant barrier to seeking help among those who experienced IPV. In conclusion, our findings suggest a noticeably high prevalence of IPV among Ugandan women. There are important sociodemographic and cultural patterns in the occurrence of IPV that need to be taken into account when designing intervention policies. Special attention should be given to women living with husbands/partners who drink alcohol, as this might increase their odds of experiencing IPV, as well as reduce the likelihood of seeking help.
