Good and Hughes [9] introduced the notion of bi-ideal and Steinfeld [11, 12] introduced the notion of quasi-ideal. Sioson [10] studied some properties of quasi-ideals of ternary semigroups. In [1], Dixit and Dewan studied about the quasi-ideals and bi-ideals of ternary semigroups. Quasi-ideals are generalization of right ideals, lateral ideals, and left ideals whereas bi-ideals are generalizati...

In this paper we have defined anti fuzzy interior ideal in semigroups. We characterize regular, intra-regular and left (right) quasi-regular semigroups by the properties of their anti fuzzy ideals, anti fuzzy bi-ideals, anti fuzzy generalized bi-ideals, anti fuzzy interior ideals and anti fuzzy quasi-ideals.

Fuzzy (weak) implicative hyper K-ideals are introduced, and relations among fuzzy weak implicative hyper K-ideals, fuzzy implicative hyper K-ideals and fuzzy hyper K-ideals are discussed.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of N -fuzzy quasi-ideals in ordered semigroups and investigate the basic theorem of quasi-ideals of ordered semigroups in terms of N -fuzzy quasi-ideals. We characterize left (resp. right) regular and completely regular ordered semigroups in terms of N -fuzzy quasi-ideals. We de ne semiprime N fuzzy quasi-ideals and characterize completely regular ordered...

Almost 50 years after domestic US family planning programs began, their effects on childbearing remain controversial. Using the county-level roll-out of these programs from 1964 to 1973, this paper reevaluates their shorter and longer term effects on US fertility rates. I find that the introduction of family planning is associated with significant and persistent reductions in fertility driven b...

This paper uses 1979-85 data on women from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to examine the economic, sociological, and institutional antecedents of adolescent childbearing and high school completion and to analyze the effect of early childbearing on school completion. Fertility and school completion are modeled as dichotomous outcomes, and their determinants are estimated using a bivar...

Background & aim: Attitude is taken into account as the most important determinant of behavior. However, the present knowledge considering opinions of the youths on the verge of marriage is not sufficient. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the attitudes towards childbearing in women and men on the verge of marriage attending health centers in Mashhad, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectiona...

We introduce the notion of Q-Borel ideals: ideals which are closed under the Borel moves arising from a poset Q. We study decompositions and homological properties of these ideals, and offer evidence that they interpolate between Borel ideals and arbitrary monomial ideals.

The notion of soft BCI-implicative ideals and BCI-implicative idealistic soft BCI-algebras is introduced and their basic properties are discussed. Relations between soft ideals and soft BCI-implicative ideals of soft BCI-algebras are provided. Also idealistic soft BCI-algebras and BCI-implicative idealistic soft BCI-algebras are being related. The intersection, union, “AND” operation and “OR” o...
