Innov. & Tech. 7 (1): 58-63, June, 2017 Available online at http://www.ijarit.webs.com IMPACT OF GENETICALLY IMPROVED FISH SPECIES AND TECHNOLOGY ON SELECTED HATCHERY AND FISH PRODUCTION IN BANGLADESH M.S. Islam1, A.H.M. Kohinoor2, M.M. Rahman3*, M.M. Haque4 Received 30 April 2017, Revised 4 June 2017, Accepted 26 June 2017, Published online 30 June 2017 Abstract The study was carried out in IAPP commanding areas from July to September 2015. A total of 8 hatchery and 240 farmers were selected for this study from Rangpur and Barisal region. About 153% Tilapia production increased which was from 34 to 86 lakh, which was 148% in Rangpur district. Thai koi production was increased about 320% in Rangpur and it was 152% in Barisal. It was observed that, per hatchery Tilapia profit was Tk. 17.35 lakh and Tk. 17.18 lakh in Rangpur and Barisal, respectively. While, total profit was 3.9 times more for Thai koi in Rangpur and it was about 1.7 times more in Barisal after IAPP-BFRI project implementation. Impact of improved germplasm on grow out system was estimated. Finding shows that before IAPP-BFRI project the average harvesting weight of tilapia fish was 122g but after using IAPP-BFRI germplasm, it increased to 194g in Rangpur district. In case of Thai Koi, the harvesting weight gain was 26% in Rangpur district and it was statistically significant at 1% level. Survey results also show that per acre profit was only Tk.86671 for Tilapia farming before IAPP whereas it was increased to Tk.

  • Traditional Institutions As Tools of Political Islam in Bangladesh
    01_riaz_055072 (jk-t) 15/6/05 11:43 am Page 171 Traditional Institutions as Tools of Political Islam in Bangladesh Ali Riaz Illinois State University, USA ABSTRACT Since 1991, salish (village arbitration) and fatwa (religious edict) have become common features of Bangladesh society, especially in rural areas. Women and non-governmental development organizations (NGOs) have been subjected to fatwas delivered through a traditional social institution called salish. This article examines this phenomenon and its relationship to the rise of Islam as political ideology and increasing strengths of Islamist parties in Bangladesh. This article challenges existing interpretations that persecution of women through salish and fatwa is a reaction of the rural community against the modernization process; that fatwas represent an important tool in the backlash of traditional elites against the impoverished rural women; and that the actions of the rural mullahs do not have any political links. The article shows, with several case studies, that use of salish and fatwa as tools of subjection of women and development organizations reflect an effort to utilize traditional local institutions to further particular interpretations of behavior and of the rights of indi- viduals under Islam, and that this interpretation is intrinsically linked to the Islamists’ agenda. Keywords: Bangladesh; fatwa; political Islam Introduction Although the alarming rise of the militant Islamists in Bangladesh and their menacing acts in the rural areas have received international media attention in recent days (e.g. Griswold, 2005), the process began more than a decade ago. The policies of the authoritarian military regimes that ruled Bangladesh between 1975 and 1990, and the politics of expediency of the two major politi- cal parties – the Awami League (AL) and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) – enabled the Islamists to emerge from the political wilderness to a legit- imate political force in the national arena (Riaz, 2003).

    Adulteration of raw milk in the rural areas of Barisal district of Bangladesh T Chanda1, GK Debnath2, ME Hossain3, MA Islam1, MK Begum4 1Department of Dairy and Poultry Science, Faculty of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine, Patuakhali Science and Technology University; 2Department of Dairy and Poultry Science 3 and Department of Animal Science and Nutrition, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Science University; 4Department of Basic Science, Faculty of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine, Patuakhali Science and Technology University Abstract The study was undertakento detect the type of adulterants and preservatives added to the incoming fluid milk from rural areas to the Barisal city of Bangladesh. Total fifty milk samples were collected from five different entry points of Karapure, Dabdopia, Shaestabad, Goriarpar and Khanpura of Barisal district where ten samples were taken from each entry point. The results indicated that, 100% of the milk samples were adulterated with water irrespective of collection points and months. Cane sugar, powdered milk and starch were detected as 26.0, 14.0 and 12.0% in the milk samples, respectively. Two types of preservatives namely formalin and sodium bicarbonate were detected in the fluid milk from the study areas. Out of all samples, 10.0% was adulterated with formalin and 20.0% with sodium bicarbonate. However, none of the samples contained either hydrogen peroxide or borax. There was a positive relationship between day temperature and intensity of adding preservatives to the fluid milk. As the day temperature increased, the number of preservative positive samples also increased in a linear fashion and vice versa.

This is an independent publication by the Evaluation Branch. Cover photos provided by the Evaluation Office (Hicham Daoudi) and United Nations (Mark Garten). Copyright © UNFPA 2016 all rights reserved. Design: Upwelling, Iva Stastny Brosig FOREWORD The independent Evaluation Office is pleased to present the evaluation of the UNFPA eighth country programme of assistance to the Government of Bangladesh, covering the period 2012-2016. The evaluation is an independent assessment of the relevance, the performance and the strategic positioning of UNFPA in Bangladesh. It draws lessons from past and present cooperation and provides a set of strategic and actionable recommendations to inform the next country programme cycle. This evaluation also serves as a pilot exercise for a clustered country programme evaluation of UNFPA engagement in highly vulnerable contexts. As part of this broader study, the Bangladesh country programme evaluation discusses how UNFPA has been able to take into account and address the specific causes of vulnerability in Bangladesh. The evaluation found that UNFPA supported interventions were well targeted and designed so as to address the needs of vulnerable groups, while further attention needs to be paid to specific groups such as women and girls at risk of gender based violence, undocumented refugees or those most at risk for sexually transmitted diseases.

  • MARKET SURVEY for Nugbear POWER in DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
    MARKET SURVEY FOR NUGbEAR POWER IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES w ) % BANGLADESH m INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY MARKET SURVEY FOR NUCLEAR POWER IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES BANGLADESH PRINTED BY THE INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY IN VIENNA SEPTEMBER 1973 FOREWORD It is generally recognized that within the coming decades nuclear power is likely to play an important role in many developing countries because many such countries have limited indigenous energy resources and in recent years have been adversely affected by increases in world oil prices. The International Atomic Energy Agency has been fully aware of this potential need for nuclear power and has actively pursued a program of assisting such countries with the development of their nuclear power programs. So far, inter alia, the Agency has: (a) Sponsored power reactor survey and siting missions; (b) Conducted feasibility studies; (c) Organized technical meetings; (d) Published reports on small and medium power reactors; and (e) Awarded fellowships for training in nuclear power and technology. At present only eight developing countries1 have nuclear power plants in operation or under construction - Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, India, the Republic of Korea, Mexico and Pakistan. The total of their nuclear power commitments to date amounts to about 5200 MW as compared to an estimated installed electric generation capacity of about 56 000 MW. It is estimated that by 1980 only 8% of the installed electrical capacity of all developing countries of the world will be nuclear. In contrast, in the in- dustrialized countries more than 16% of total electrical capacity will be nuclear by 1980. In view of the possible greater need for nuclear power in developing countries it was recommended at the Fourth International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy, held in Geneva in 1971, and at the fifteenth regular session of the General Conference2, that efforts should be intensified to assist these countries in planning their nuclear power program.
