Farzana Akter2 1Professor, Department of Statistics, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh Email: [email protected] 2MSc Thesis student, Department of Statistics, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh, Email: [email protected] Background In longitudinal study, the data are collected from the same subject over time and hence data are correlated. To analyze these kinds of data, selecting a better covariance structure is very important to get the better results. Therefore, we aimed to select better covariance structure to model the body mass index (BMI) of primary school going children in Bangladesh. Methods To do this study, at first we conducted a longitudinal study, we built a cohort of100primary school going children in Sylhet city, Bangladesh. We collected the information from the same children at the initial time (T0), after six month (T6),after twelve month (T12) and after 18 months (T18).Linear Mixed Model (LMM) was applied for selecting a better covariance structure and then to model the body mass index. Results To find out a better covariance structure, we used Diagonal, Unstructured (UN), Auto Regressive order 1 (AR1) and Compound Symmetry (CS) covariance structures in the collected longitudinal data. Observing all the criteria, it is found that the covariance structure ‘CS’ (compound symmetry) gives better results of LMM. Finally using the CS covariance structure, we observed thatover time BMI of male students’ are comparatively less than female students’ (-0.040, p=0.034). Conclusions Taken together, we may conclude that Compound Symmetry (CS) gives better output to model the body mass index of primary school going children. As female students are getting more obese, in addition, today’s female children are the mothers of the future; therefore, parents should give concentration on female children to reduce their weight. This study may be useful for researchers in public health sectors to select a proper covariance structure to analyze their longitudinal data.

EC-002 Does an empirical relationship exist between financial development and economic growth in SAARC countries? Md Abdullah Al Mamun1, Ranjan Kumar Mitra2 and Md Abdul Wadud3 1 Associate Professor, Department of Folklore, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Rajshahi Email: [email protected] 2 Associate Professor, Department of Accounting & Information Systems, University of Dhaka Email: [email protected] 3 Professor, Department of Economics, University of Rajshahi Email: [email protected] Economic theories suggest that a sound and efficient financial system promotes economic growth by fostering efficient allocation of resources. This paper aims to investigate the theoretical prediction about the relationship between financial development and economic growth in SAARC countries. Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) has been applied on panel data of five SAARC countries covering the period from 1984 to 2016 to test the hypothesized relationship. As an empirical proxy for economic growth, the study uses annual percentage growth rate of GDP per capita. We employ four different indicators of financial development based on domestic credit provided by the financial sector institutions of respective economies. Result reveals notable positive effect of financial development on economic growth in SAARC countries, after controlling the time-constant country-specific effect or effects of potential biases induced by 103 simultaneity. Thus, findings are consistent with the theories that predict a significant positive role of financial development in the process of economic growth of a country. Keywords: Financial development, Economic growth, GMM method, SAARC economy EC-003 Undernutrition among Bhumij preschool children of West Bengal, India Biswajit Mahapatra1, 2, Soma Pal1, Kaushik Bose1* and Goutam Sahoo1 1Department of Anthropology, Vidyasagar University, Midnapore-721102, West Bengal, India. 2Anthropological Survey of India, Head Office, 27, Jawaharlal Nehru Road, Kolkata-700016, West Bengal, India. Poor nutritional status among tribal preschool children observed in different regions of West Bengal as well as India. Nutritional status of tribal preschool children especially Bhumij children of West Bengal has not been investigated adequately. The present community based cross-sectional study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of undernutrition using stunting, underweight and wasting among Bhumij preschool children of West Bengal, India. A total of 245 (129 boys; 116 girls) Bhumij children aged from 1 to 5 years were studied from eleven villages of Keshiary, Dantan-I and Nayagram block of Paschim Medinipur and Jhargram district of West Bengal. Length/height and weight of children was measured according to standard procedures. Date of birth was collected from birth certificates or health immunization cards of children. WHO Child Growth Standards (2006) was used to evaluate the nutritional status of Bhumij preschool children. Results revealed that there were no significant sex differences in mean height. Only 5 years (t=2.26 and p<0.05) Bhumij boys were significantly heavier than girls counterpart. Significant age differences in mean height [Height: F=213.66, p<0.001 (boys) and F=223.0, p<0.001 (girls)] and weight [Weight: F=116.95, p<0.001 (boys) and F=88.77, p<0.001 (girls)] was observed for both sexes. Overall prevalence of stunting, underweight and wasting were 45.7%, 24.9% and 9.8%, respectively. The age combined prevalence of undernutrition among boys were higher than girls (stunting: 51.2% vs 39.7%; underweight: 27.9% vs 21.6% and wasting: 14.0% vs 5.2%). Very high prevalence of stunting indicates critical situation of these communities. There is an urgent need to improve health care services to the tribal population and tribal children.

EC-004 Investigating the role of climate change on dengue emergence and transmission in Bangladesh Md. Azizul Baten PhD Professor, Department of Statistics, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology Sylhet-3114, Bangladesh Email: [email protected]; [email protected] Dengue is a viral infectious disease that is transmitted by mosquitoes, increased over time, the solution is really needed to control the dengue fever since it causes to mortality. The main objective of this study is to examine the impact of climate change on dengue fever and to establish the relationship of dengue fever occurrences as a linear function of health care system performance and a set of climate factors using Poisson regression model. The coefficient of maximum temperature with (0.8419), minimum temperature (-0.8539), rainfall (0.0242), humidity (0.4261), general health efficiency score estimated from Battese and Coelli (1992) with (-110.403) are significant while the coefficient of maximum temperature with (0.7368), minimum temperature (-0.3848), rainfall (0.0232), humidity (0.1939), general health efficiency score estimated from Battese and Coelli (1995) with (-132.112) are found highly significant for dengue transmission using Poisson regression model. The climate factors such as maximum temperature, rainfall and humidity had shown positive impact on dengue transmission while the minimum temperature, and health efficiency had shown negative impact on dengue transmission. This study provides the message to health policy makers in exploring the potential strategies in order to reduce the existing burden of the increase in dengue transmission in Bangladesh. Keywords: Dengue, Climate Change, Health Performance, Stochastic Frontier Analysis, Poisson Regression Analysis, Bangladesh 104 EC-005 An Efficient Estimation Procedure of Population Median in Two-Occasion Successive Sampling A. K. Singh Department of Statistics, Sri Venkateswara College, University of Delhi, India [email protected] The objective of this paper is to estimate the finite population median using information on auxiliary variable in two-occasion successive sampling. General class of estimators have been proposed. Properties of the proposed estimators have been studied including optimum replacement policy. Proposed estimators have been compared with the sample median estimator when there is no matching from previous occasion and also compare with the ratio type estimator proposed by Singh et.al (2007) for second quartile. The behaviour of the proposed estimators are justified by empirical interpretation and validated by means of simulation study with the help of natural population. Keywords: Successive sampling, population median, bias, mean square error, auxiliary information.

Zabed Ahmed, PhD Professor and Chair Department of Information Science and Library Management, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000 CERTIFICATE This is to certify that the thesis entitled “A Webometric Analysis of Private university Websites in Bangladesh” submitted by Sajia Sultana, for the degree of Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in the Department of Information Science and Library Management, University of Dhaka, is her original work carried out under my supervision and guidance, and is worthy of examination. Dr. S.M. Zabed Ahmed Supervisor Abstract There have been many research studies conducted on webometrics, especially on the impact of websites and the web impact factor. This current research analyzes the private university websites in Bangladesh according to some common webometrics indicators. It examines and explores 54 private university websites in Bangladesh and identifies the number of web pages and link pages, and calculates their Simple Web Impact Factor, Self-link Web Impact Factor and External link Web Impact Factor. The results indicate that some private universities have relatively high number of web pages, but correspondingly their link pages are low in number and the websites fall behind in their simple, self-link and external link web impact factors. It is also found that the external link web pages provide more than other link pages.

Ruhul Amin Associate Professor Department of Public Administration Comilla University, Cumilla-3505, Bangladesh E-mail: [email protected] Md. Rashidul Islam Sheikh Associate Professor Department of Public Administration Comilla University, Cumilla-3506, Bangladesh E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 24, 2021 Accepted: May 6, 2021 Published: June 5, 2021 doi:10.5296/gjes.v7i1.18725 URL: https://doi.org/10.5296/gjes.v7i1.18725 Abstract The evolution of a modern society largely depends on the essence of quality higher education. In a developing country, higher education has enormous potential to foster its development. Universities all over the world are changing actors of culture and remain the center of transformation and growth. Different Education Commissions have been formed in Bangladesh to explore the potentialities and create highly skilled human resources to contribute the national development (Topader, 2021). Due to the economic and globalization change emphasis on the quality education in education policy across the world. As a result, policymakers, academicians, and professionals in Bangladesh have expressed various issues regarding the quality of higher education. Over the last two decades, the standard of higher education in Bangladesh has steadily deteriorated (Rabbani & Chowdhury, 2014). In this regard, the government, ministry, and UGC have taken various initiatives to ensure quality 1 Global Journal of Educational Studies ISSN 2377-3936 2021, Vol. 7, No. 1 higher education, especially at the tertiary level, to meet global demand.
