Integrating Mobile Phone Data with Traditional Census Figures to Create Dynamic Population Estimates for Disaster Response and Resource Allocation
type: item
description: Accurate and up-to-date information on where people are and in what numbers is essential for disaster management and the fair distribution of public goods and services. However, official population counts are typically only available from censuses, which are often outdated and lack temporal and spatial resolution. Here we develop and validate a scalable approach that combines anonymized, aggregated mobile phone data (call detail records and passive network events) and census baselines to produce up-to-date, error-quantified population estimates at sub-district spatial resolutions and hourly to daily temporal frequencies. We normalize mobile activity to resident population with a Bayesian hierarchical model that accounts for carrier market share, multi-SIM ownership, inactive devices, and diurnal/weekly seasonality effects. We allocate the normalized activity across space with dasymetric mapping using ancillary layers (land use, building footprints, night-time lights, road networks) to restrict to likely inhabited areas and disentangle through-mobility from residential population. A state-space data assimilation framework fuses multiple activity signals (tower handovers, app pings, emergency alert traffic) to provide near–real-time population updates in the presence of hazard-induced mobility changes. We assess performance against ground truth from household surveys, administrative registries, smart-meter rollups, and post-event field counts, reporting accuracy as mean absolute percentage error, coverage probabilities for credible intervals, and resilience to simulated network outages. We illustrate applications for storm evacuation and flood response, showing how the estimates can inform the pre-positioning of supplies, dynamic routing of ambulances, siting of mobile clinics and shelters, and prioritization of damage assessment teams. The framework incorporates privacy-by-design measures (k-anonymity thresholds, differential privacy noise, strict governance and rete…

Transforming electronics lifecycle through expert refurbishment, quality assurance, and transparent environmental impact.
type: item
description: The modern electronics industry faces a dual challenge: sustaining rapid technological progress while mitigating its significant environmental footprint. This study explores how expert refurbishment, rigorous quality assurance, and transparent environmental reporting can transform the lifecycle of electronic devices into a sustainable model of circular economy. Expert refurbishment extends product usability by restoring performance to near-original standards, reducing the need for new manufacturing and conserving valuable resources such as rare earth metals. Quality assurance ensures that refurbished electronics meet industry standards, fostering consumer trust and expanding the market for sustainable alternatives. Transparent environmental impact assessment—through life-cycle analysis (LCA) and carbon footprint reporting—further enhances accountability, encouraging both producers and consumers to make responsible decisions. The integration of these elements can create a systemic shift from the traditional “take-make-dispose” model to a “repair-reuse-recycle” framework, promoting sustainable consumption and production. Moreover, the adoption of standardized refurbishment protocols and certification systems can boost the global trade of refurbished devices, providing economic benefits alongside environmental gains. This approach aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 13 (Climate Action), positioning refurbishment as a critical pathway toward sustainable industrial transformation. The research concludes that embracing expert refurbishment, coupled with robust quality assurance and transparent environmental metrics, can redefine the electronics lifecycle, reduce e-waste, and foster a culture of environmental accountability within the digital economy.

POST-QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY FOR HEALTHCARE: FUTURE-PROOFING POPULATION HEALTH DATABASES AGAINST QUANTUM COMPUTING THREATS
type: item
description: In the face of quantum computing advancements, classical encryption methods used in protecting health data are expected to become insecure within the next 10-15 years. This paper is the first to provide a comprehensive, detailed framework for healthcare organizations, specifically targeting population health databases, to migrate their cryptographic systems to quantum-resistant algorithms without disrupting performance or violating compliance standards. We provide implementation and performance analysis of the four NIST standard candidate post-quantum algorithms CRYSTALS-Kyber, CRYSTALS-Di lithium, FALCON, and SPHINCS+, all tuned for high-throughput, low-latency healthcare workloads. Our empirical data demonstrates that Kyber-1024 is best-suited for health record encryption tasks with minimal performance overhead (2.3x slower) compared to AES-256, and Dilithium-5 offers the most efficient trade-off for long-term signature security for audit logging (4.1x slower than RSA-2048). The research introduces an innovative "crypto agility" system design, facilitating seamless transitioning between traditional and post-quantum cryptographic methods. This design mitigates transitional risks and enables concurrent support for both legacy and quantum-resistant cryptographic processes. Protocols for negotiating between different cryptographic algorithms automatically, based on a combination of data sensitivity, retention policies, and prevailing threat models, are also established. Empirical evidence from deployment within a production-grade population health system, which currently processes 50 million patient records, indicates the transition to post-quantum cryptography can occur with only 0.03% total downtime, 18% additional storage overhead, and 31% additional compute overhead, well within the tolerance of most healthcare IT budgets. The paper includes a risk assessment that establishes population health databases, which contain sensitive genetic data, disease profiles, and …

THE INFLUENCE OF FAMILY INVOLVEMENT ON THE QUALITY OF CARE FOR AGED ADULTS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY
type: item
description: Background: The growing population of older adults worldwide necessitates the provision of high-quality elderly care. Family involvement is a crucial aspect of caregiving, impacting the physical and emotional well-being of the elderly. While previous studies have focused on family engagement in specific settings, there is a need for a comparative analysis of its role in home care, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities. Methods: This research employed a mixed-methods approach, utilizing both quantitative surveys of family members and professional caregivers and qualitative, in-depth interviews. The quantitative data focused on the frequency of family involvement, participation in decision-making processes, and perceived outcomes of quality of care. These outcomes included measures such as physical health status and mental well-being of the elderly. Qualitative interviews delved into the lived experiences, cultural factors, and perceived benefits and barriers to family participation. The analysis aimed to compare findings across the three care settings, seeking to understand commonalities, differences, and context-specific dynamics. Results: The results of the study reveal that family involvement significantly improves the quality of care, with marked positive effects on emotional support, patient advocacy, and adherence to care plans. The home care environment was found to offer the most significant benefits, attributed to the flexibility and direct collaboration between family members and caregivers. In institutional settings, however, family involvement shifted more towards shared decision-making rather than active care provision. Notable barriers include conflicting expectations between family members and professional caregivers, caregiver burden, and cultural differences in caregiving roles. Conclusion: Family involvement emerges as a complex construct that positively impacts care quality when effectively integrated into service delivery. Tailored strateg…

Investigating the Structural Performance of Precast Concrete Pipes with Steel Fiber-Reinforced Geopolymer Concrete
type: item
description: Recent developments in materials science have identified geopolymer as a promising substitute for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), with industrial byproducts serving as its primary ingredients. Studies on geopolymer concrete have revealed notable improvements in early strength development and superior resistance to chemical reactions, in contrast to OPC. These properties of geopolymer prefer its use in precast concrete pipes production. This study recognizes the need to interpret the structural response of geopolymer concrete under load-deflection behavior of geopolymer concrete pipes. In collaboration with “Allah Ho Yasir” precast pipe factory located in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. R.C.C pipes of 450mm diameter using OPC and GPC were manufactured at industrial scale. For the geopolymer concrete (GPC) locally produced steel fibers are added with the dosage of 30 kg/m³ along with conventional steel cage. These pipes were manufactured by conventional methodology. For structural analysis performed destructive and non-destructive test, were performed. Destructive testing includes compressive strength test, core cutter compressive test, and three-edge bearing test which provided critical insights regarding maximum load-bearing capacity and failure characteristics. The core cutter compressive test was particularly valuable in assessing the in-situ compressive strength of the concrete within the pipes. Additionally, bond strength tests were performed to assess the adhesion between the steel bars and the concrete matrix, which is essential for structural strength of the pipes. Non-destructive testing such as ultrasonic pulse velocity and rebound/Schmidt hammer test, were performed to assess the quality and uniformity of the concrete without causing damage. These combined testing approaches ensured a comprehensive understanding of the mechanical properties, bond strength, and structural strength of the geopolymer concrete pipes, providing its potential application in R.C.C proj…

POTENTIAL OF ALKALI SILICA REACTION IN CONCRETE USING KASHMIR AGGREGATE
type: item
description: The mountainous belt of Kashmir, bearing complex geological formations, provides aggregates the have potential to be used in construction industry for both small as well as large scale projects. However, a very expansive reaction, known as Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) must be carefully evaluated to ensure their suitability and to minimize durability problems in concrete structures. The present study aims to analyze the potential of Alkali silica reactivity in aggregate samples collected from three different quarries of Kashmir region. These aggregates were examined through chemical analysis, petrographic analysis and standard test procedures, including ASTM C 227 and ASTM C1260. Based on the standard expansion limits for mortar bars, all the aggregates sources were identified as potentially reactive. Mortar cubes were also analyzed at different ages to determine the mechanical properties under different ASR conditions. The results reveal that reduction observed in the concrete properties varied among different aggregate sources, depending on their chemical and mechanical properties of aggregates. It was observed that the reduction in strength was found to be inversely proportional to the expansion observed in the mortar bars.

Shear Strength Improvement of Fine-Grained Soils Using Lime Stabilization
type: item
description: An essential component of any civil engineering building is soil. Buildings, bridges, highways, tunnels, dams, towers, and other civil engineering structures are constructed on or below the earth's surface. Proper foundation soil is necessary for their stability. Fine-grained soils often exhibit weak shear strength, posing challenges in construction projects. This study focuses on enhancing the shear strength of such soils through chemical stabilization using lime, a cost-effective and widely available material. In this experimental investigation, lime was mixed with fine-grained soil at varying dosages of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10% by weight. The prepared samples were subjected to curing periods of 7, 14, and 28 days. The unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test was conducted to evaluate the shear strength development over time. The results revealed a significant increase in shear strength with both lime content and curing duration. The maximum shear strength of 1007.7 kPa was observed at 8% lime content after 28 days of curing, which is approximately five times greater than that of the untreated (in-situ) soil. The study concludes that lime stabilization is an effective technique for improving the shear strength of fine-grained soils, with optimal performance achieved at 8% lime content after sufficient curing. These findings contribute to the development of sustainable ground improvement strategies in civil engineering.

Developing a Composite Index to Measure the Integration of BIM, IPD, and Lean Construction: Analysis and Framework
type: item
description: Abstract: The integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM), Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), and Lean Construction (LC) presents a transformative opportunity to improve collaboration, efficiency, and sustainability in construction projects. However, the lack of a unified metric to evaluate the maturity of this integration limits strategic benchmarking and implementation. This paper introduces a novel composite index, titled the BIM-IPD-Lean Integration Index (BILI), to measure integration maturity across these three methodologies. A structured questionnaire was administered to 27 construction firms, and response data were used to develop and apply the index. The analysis revealed that most firms exhibit high to exceptional integration readiness. To bridge perception with practice, the study also proposes a conceptual framework for practical implementation of the index, enabling real-world auditing based on documented project evidence. The BILI model offers a scalable and replicable approach for evaluating integrated construction practices and contributes a structured tool for industry benchmarking and improvement.

A Review on the Mechanical and Microstructural Performance of Sustainable Geopolymer Concrete
type: item
description: With high levels of CO₂ emissions and resource depletion more attention has been paid to environmental aspects of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) production, especially in view of the need for better sustainable construction materials. The good news to the usage of waste product in GPC as an eco-friendly construction material through the use of fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag and Meta kaolin. These differences could be attributing to the lack of aluminosilicate rich substances which are required for GPC to occur using regular cement as well as better environmental advantages.

HYDRAULIC AND STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT OF THE RAVI SYPHON STRUCTURE FOR UP GRADATION
type: item
description: The canal system in District Lahore and Kasur Irrigation Divisions have been suffering from shortage of water for a long time, due to reduction in capacity of Ravi Syphon (4200 Cs) as compared to design capacity (4853 Cs) at BRBD Link Canal which is outlived being a 70 years old structure. Irrigation Department carried out an underwater inspection of the Ravi Syphon with the help of divers in 2007.About 33% of the overall length could only be examined due to limitations and constraints. The inspection of Ravi Syphon structure is carried out recently though out the length of barrels (100%) by Irrigation Department and consultant whereas I supervise the inspection of barrels as Sub Divisional Officer, Ravi Syphon. Underwater and dry inspection of barrels were done through divers and recorded the images and videos for assessment of heath of structure. The results of underwater inspection revealed that the concrete face has been eroded at the syphon inlet leaving coarse aggregate exposed and in some places reinforcement steel bars are exposed. Many of the barrel joints were found to be leaked. Traverse joints in all five barrels were found to be in poor condition. Cracks in the concrete of the five barrels were observed. Two large holes were found in one of the barrels. Water stops are exposed at many places. In this research repairing of existing barrels is recommended by using sprayed concrete (shotcreting or guniting) for the top and sides of the barrel with reinforced concrete at the base. The proposed thickness of sprayed concrete is 2 inches (50 mm) and that of reinforced concrete is 4 inches (100 mm). Repairing of the damaged upstream bed protection is essential and proposed that scour holes should be rock filled.

Although complex machine learning models improve segmentation precision, they function as "black boxes" that obstruct clinical acceptance. XAI methods, especially SHAP (Shapley Additive exPlanations), solve the problem of model opacity by clarifying which features contribute to model decisions. We present a framework that combines Explainable AI methods with big data analytics to create transparent population segmentation. The proposed framework uses Apache Spark MLlib to segment patient populations with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic respiratory illnesses. Our research shows that SHAP-based explanations effectively reveal main factors (e.g., lab values, comorbidities, social factors) that drive population segments. SHAP-based explanations allow clinicians to understand critical drivers such as lab values, medical comorbidities, and social factors for each patient segment, improving clinical decision-making. Our case studies and realistic examples demonstrate how explainable segmentation leads to optimal resource allocation while allowing for personalized care plans and ethical supervision. bias detection) In large-scale health systems. This discussion presents the technical and clinical benefits of implementing XAI-driven segmentation within U.S. healthcare systems to enhance population health outcomes through transparency and trust-building.
