Mamun1,2 & Md. Abdur Rafi 2,3 & A. H. M. Shamim Al Mamun1,2 & Md. Zahid Hasan1,2 & Konok Akter1,2 & Kamrul Hsan 1,2,4 & Mark D. Griffiths5 # The Author(s) 2019 Abstract Although internet addiction (IA) has been the subject of research in many countries, it is poorly studied in Bangladesh, and previous studies in the country have not examined potential mental health risk factors in relation to the development of IA. The present pilot study attempted to assess the prevalence and associated risk factors of IA among a convenience sample of recently graduated university students actively looking for a job (N = 284) from July to October 2018 in Rajshahi (a city in Bangladesh). The measures included socio-demographic and behavioral variables, the Internet Addiction Test (IAT), and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale. Surprisingly, no cases of IA were identified in the sample (i.e., the prevalence rate of IAwas 0%) which may have been a consequence of the specific population sampled. A total of 3.9% of the participants (n = 11) were classified as excessive users (≥ 60 in IAT). Using regression analysis, the risk factors for excessive internet use were spending more time online (> 5 h daily) and experiencing psychiatric conditions (i.e., depression, stress).

Tel: 880-172-505-2815. E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 15, 2014 Accepted: June 3, 2014 Online Published: June 25, 2014 doi:10.5430/wje.v4n4p1 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5430/wje.v4n4p1 Abstract Education renders people with certain capabilities that prepare them to contribute to the social and economic development of the nation. Such capabilities turn them into human capital which, according to development economists, raises productivity when increased. Following an exhaustive review of literature on education research, this paper, however, aims at exploring the effectiveness of Bangladesh’s present education system in delivering quality education as well as reckoning the prospect of establishing a knowledge-based society in the nation. This paper, being qualitative in nature, reveals that the nation has achieved an exemplary success in primary education as regards increased enrolment rate, while the enrolment rate is not satisfactory in secondary schooling and the tertiary education is expanding. However, the quality of education imparted at all the primary, secondary and tertiary levels is not up to the mark to create a strong human capital and reckon the prospect of knowledge-based society in the country.

  • GDP) in BANGLADESH: Co Integrating Regression Analysis (1971-2017
    International Journal of Economics and Financial Issues ARF INDIA Vol. 1, No. 4, 2020, pp. 201-216 Academic Open Access Publishing www.arfjournals.com RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RICE PRODUCTION, FISHERIES PRODUCTION AND GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP) IN BANGLADESH: Co integrating Regression Analysis (1971-2017) Sudip Dey Lecturer, Department of Economics, Premier University, Chittagong, Bangladesh E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Received: 13 July 2020 Revised: 20 July 2020 Accepted: 11 August 2020 Publication: 20 December 2020 Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between rice production, fisheries production and gross domestic product (GDP) in Bangladesh. Agricultural sector and fishery sector play an important role in Bangladeshi economy. These sectors have great contribution to increase gross domestic production (GDP), create employment opportunities and ensure food security of Bangladesh. Annual time series data used for the study over the period of 1971 to 2017 in Bangladesh. Different kinds of econometric techniques applied to conduct the study, namely, augment Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test, Phillips-Perron (PP) test, Johansen co integration test, fully- modified least squares (FMOLS) method and dynamic least squares (DOLS) method. To justify the model some residual diagnostic tests were employed. The results of the study indicated that rice production has a positive and significant impact on gross domestic product (GDP) in Bangladesh. On the other hand, although fisheries production has a positive effect on gross domestic product (GDP), this impact is not significant at 5 or 10 percent level of significance. Since the contribution of fisheries production is not significant to gross domestic product (GDP) the government should create more facilities, and provide more subsidies, new funding schemes and training programs to the fish farmers.

By administering a interview schedule, data used in this article were collected purposively from four hundred and forty low-income men from Khulna City Corporation (KCC) areas of Bangladesh following survey research design. It was found that men’s personal and household socio-demographic and economic conditions were the key determinants to their access to and use of family planning methods. Low-income men in their thirties with more years of schooling and disposal income played pivotal role in making decisions regarding use of contraceptives. The knowledge and perception on family planning were influenced by their social, economic as well as demographic characteristics. Such attributes eventually influenced the frequency and willingness to use family planning methods to minimize the family size of low income people in urban Bangladesh. Keywords: Attitude, family planning, knowledge, perception Introduction Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries of the world and in the last five years or so there was a little or no government initiated programs to control the population.

  • Expanding Access to Education in Bangladesh1
    Expanding Access to Education in Bangladesh1 Naomi Hossain Widespread poverty and biases against women and girls make Bangladesh an unlikely setting for groundbreaking achievements in education for girls and the poor. Yet Bangladesh has succeeded in dramatically expanding access to basic education in the last two decades, particularly among girls. Today there are 18 million primary school places - in theory enough for the entire school-aged population.2 Gross enrolment ratios in primary schools have exceeded 100 per cent,3 and the once-stark gender disparity has been completely eliminated. Girls now constitute 55 per cent of Bangladesh’s total primary school enrolment, up from a third in 1990. In just two decades, the number of girls enrolled in secondary school has increased by more than 600 per cent, from 600,000 in 1980 to 4 million in 2000. It is now one of the largest oprimary It is not all good news in Bangladesh’s primary education sector: low quality education presents a serious obstacle to children’s learning achievements, although interventions are now in place to tackle some of the most acute constraints. There are also growing concerns about those left behind - the children of the urban slums and ethnic minority communities whom providers still find ‘hard-to-reach’. Given the success with which the gender disadvantage of poor girls has been addressed, it is striking that the single largest disadvantaged group now seems to be boys from the poorest households: they are more likely to be in paid work from an early age than to be in school.

  • Freemuse-Drik-PEN-International
    Joint submission to the mid-term Universal Periodic Review of Bangladesh by Freemuse, Drik, and PEN International 4 December 2020 Executive summary Freemuse, Drik, and PEN International welcome the opportunity to contribute to the mid-term review of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) on Bangladesh. This submission evaluates the implementation of recommendations made in the previous UPR and assesses the Bangladeshi authorities’ compliance with international human rights obligations with respect to freedoms of expression, information and peaceful assembly, in particular concerns related to: - Digital Security Act and Information and Communication Technology Act - Limitations on freedom of religion and belief - Restrictions to the right to peaceful assembly and political engagement - Attacks on artistic freedom and academic freedom As part of the third cycle UPR process in 2018, the Government of Bangladesh accepted 178 recommendations and noted 73 out of a total 251 recommendations received. This included some aimed at guaranteeing the rights to freedom of expression, information and peaceful assembly. However, a crackdown on freedom of expression has been intensified since the review and civil society, including artists and journalists, has faced adversity from authorities. These are in violation of Bangladesh’s national and international commitments to artistic freedom, specifically the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights which were ratified by the authorities in 2000 and 1998, respectively. This UPR mid-term review was compiled based on information from Freemuse, Drik and PEN International. 1 SECTION A Digital Security Act: a threat to freedom of expression Third Cycle UPR Recommendations The Government of Bangladesh accepted recommendations 147.67, 147.69, 147.70, 148.3, 148.13, 148.14, and 148.15 concerning the Information and Communication Technology Act and Digital Security Act.
