  • A Taxonomic Study on the Angiosperm Flora of Trishal Upazila, Mymensingh
    Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sco. 22(1): 63-74, 2013 (January) A TAXONOMIC STUDY ON THE ANGIOSPERM FLORA OF TRISHAL UPAZILA, MYMENSINGH M. OLIUR RAHMAN* AND MD. TAUHIDUL ALAM Department of Botany, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000, Bangladesh Key words: Floristics, Taxonomy, Angiosperms, Trishal, Bangladesh Abstract Trishal Upazila has been floristically explored to make an inventory, identify and document the angiosperm flora. A total of 209 species under 171 genera and 69 families have been identified. Magnoliopsida (Dicots) is represented by 163 species distributed in 133 genera and 54 families, and Liliopsida (Monocots) is constituted by 46 species under 38 genera and 15 families. In Magnoliopsida Asteraceae with 12 species and in Liliopsida Poaceae with 11 species is found as the largest family. The genus Ficus and the genus Fimbristylis stand the first position, respectively in dicots and monocots. Herbs are represented by 124 species, shrubs by 36 species and trees by 49 species. Introduction Under the auspices of the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD), the importance of taxonomy and floristic studies has been recognized recently by the Parties (i.e. the signatory countries), who recognized that the combination of inadequate taxonomic knowledge, the shortage of systematists and the inadequacy of sampling, collections, and infrastructure constituted a taxonomic impediment. In order to implement the CBD, the need for taxonomic and floristic knowledge as a means of underpinning biodiversity conservation is now widely accepted by governments(1). Trishal with an area of 338.98 km2 is one of the important Upazilas of Mymensingh district and is bounded on the north by Mymensingh Sadar Upazila, on the east by Goforgaon Upazila, on the south by Bhaluca Upazila and on the west by Fulbaria Upazila.

Perceptions and awareness of local leaders. Trishal Union. Mymenshing. Bangladesh. ABSTRACT: Kala-azar or Leishmaniasis is an acute vector-borne infectious disease caused by parasites of the genus Leishmania, also simultaneously called Leishmania donovani, which is transmitted to human body through bite of a female phlebotomine sandfly. Recently it has been found very much prevalent in an acute manner in 34 districts of Bangladesh, causing a serious threat to the community. Kala-azar has become endemic in nine districts of the country which includes Rajshahi and Mymenshing. It is reported that people’s awareness in many of these districts is extremely low and discouraging; and in this context, the community leaders’ involvement is also quite unsatisfactory. This paper for that reason, is an attempt to provide information on community leaders’ perception about kala-azar in a district in Bangladesh. INTRODUCTION KALA-AZAR PREVALENCE AROUND THE In recent years, Kala-azar (most commonly WORLD: A SITUATIONAL BRIEF pronounced as K� l� zr)1 or leishmeniasis has become Kala-azar or visceral Leishmaniasis has had an acute health-problem in some villages of Trishal prevalence in many parts of the world including Upazila in Mymensing District in Bangladesh.

  • Environmental Factors Associated with the Distribution of Visceral Leishmaniasis in Endemic Areas of Bangladesh
    Abdullah et al. Tropical Medicine and Health (2017) 45:13 Tropical Medicine DOI 10.1186/s41182-017-0054-9 and Health RESEARCH Open Access Environmental factors associated with the distribution of visceral leishmaniasis in endemic areas of Bangladesh: modeling the ecological niche Abu Yousuf Md Abdullah1*, Ashraf Dewan2, Md Rakibul Islam Shogib1, Md Masudur Rahman1 and Md Faruk Hossain1 Abstract Background: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a parasitic infection (also called kala-azar in South Asia) caused by Leishmania donovani that is a considerable threat to public health in the Indian subcontinent, including densely populated Bangladesh. The disease seriously affects the poorest subset of the population in the subcontinent. Despite the fact that the incidence of VL results in significant morbidity and mortality, its environmental determinants are relatively poorly understood, especially in Bangladesh. In this study, we have extracted a number of environmental variables obtained from a range of sources, along with human VL cases collected through several field visits, to model the distribution of disease which may then be used as a surrogate for determining the distribution of Phlebotomus argentipes vector, in hyperendemic and endemic areas of Mymensingh and Gazipur districts in Bangladesh. The analysis was carried out within an ecological niche model (ENM) framework using a maxent to explore the ecological requirements of the disease. Results: The results suggest that VL in the study area can be predicted by precipitation during the warmest quarter of the year, land surface temperature (LST), and normalized difference water index (NDWI). As P. argentipes is the single proven vector of L. donovani in the study area, its distribution could reasonably be determined by the same environmental variables.

  • (Pangasius Hypophthalmus) from Trishal Upazila to Different Areas of Bangladesh
    J. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 12(1&2): 73-82, 2019 ISSN 1999-7361 Status of Farming and Marketing of Live Pangas (Pangasius hypophthalmus) from Trishal Upazila to Different Areas of Bangladesh M. I. Hossain, F. H. Shikha* and F. Ahmmed Department of Fisheries Technology, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh-2202 *Corresponding email: [email protected] Abstract The research was conducted to collect information on the status of farming and marketing of live pangas (Pangasius hypophthalmus) from Trishal region to different areas of Bangladesh by interviewing stakeholder and secondary sources. The survey was carried out for seven months from May to November, 2016. Pangas farmers, arotdar, commission agents, wholesaler and retailers were interviewed in accordance with participatory rural methods. The results showed that the best harvesting season were found to be June to July and November to January. It was also found that 90% farmers harvested their fish completely and only 10% of farmers harvested partially. The price of pangas depends on market structure, quality, size, distance, weight, seasonal variation and regional perception. The prices of pangas were found to be highest of 130tk/kg and the lowest of 85tk/kg but sometimes 60 to 70tk/kg when the fish are dead (on the way to destined area) in different districts. On the other hand significant quantity loss was observed in fish 8%, 10%, 15%, 18%, and 19% after reaching to Savar, Manikgonj, Maowa, Sylhet, and Barisal from Trishal. Therefore, it was strongly recommended that proper handling of live fish must be ensured during transportation to attain quality pangas at consumer level.

Providing adequate good quality feed to livestock to raise and maintain their productivity is, and will continue to be, a major challenge to agricultural scientists and policy makers all over the world. The increase in population and rapid growth in world economies will lead to an enormous increase in demand for animal products, a large part of which will be from developing countries.

    THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad Reg no. 111 Session: 2011-2012 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository DEDICATION To my parents and sister Dhaka University Institutional Repository Abstract As homicide is one of the most comparable and accurate indicators for measuring violence, the aim of this study is to improve understanding of criminal violence by providing a wealth of information about where homicide occurs and what is the current nature and trend, what are the socio-demographic characteristics of homicide offender and its victim, about who is most at risk, why they are at risk, what are the relationship between victim and offender and exactly how their lives are taken from them. Additionally, homicide patterns over time shed light on regional differences, especially when looking at long-term trends. The connection between violence, security and development, within the broader context of the rule of law, is an important factor to be considered. Since its impact goes beyond the loss of human life and can create a climate of fear and uncertainty, intentional homicide (and violent crime) is a threat to the population. Homicide data can therefore play an important role in monitoring security and justice.
