Simon Fraser University Library Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada update Spring 2010 Abstract This study analyzes the nutritional status of women from low income households in Bangladesh. The key policy issue is inadequacy of protein and micronutrients in the regular diet of low income women. Women’s poor nutritional condition results in long- term health problems and pregnancy-related disorders that pass from one generation to the next. On the basis of a primary survey on about 800 married women in rural, urban and suburban areas in Bangladesh, this study identified a number of underlying factors related to women’s poor nutritional status. These include illiteracy and low education, poor economic conditions, addiction to tobacco, drinking unclean water, not having nutritional supplements, ineffective services by community health workers, and ongoing food price hikes. This study proposes several short-term, low-cost policy alternatives to address the cited dietary deficiencies of low income women in Bangladesh.

Mazharul Islam Sajeeb Institute of Marine Sciences, University of Chittagong, Bangladesh. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Abundance of phytoplankton in the Halda river was studied during monsoon (July) & post monsoon (February). Samples were collected from three sampling stations- Station 01(Moduna Ghat), Station 02 (Sattar Ghat), Station 03 (Najirbat). Total 20 species were identified. The highest number were recorded for Coscinodiscus Sp (600 cells/liter) during post monsoon at station 03. The average number of phytoplankton in station 01, station 02 and station 03 were found 2985 cells/liter, 3470 cells/liter, 3870 cells/liter. The most abundance of phytoplankton was found in post monsoon. The physio chemical parameter varied from as, temperature 27°to 29° during monsoon , 25°to 28° during post monsoon, PH 5.5 to 6 during monsoon and 5.5 to 5.9 during post monsoon, dissolve oxygen 4.285 mg/l to 5mg/l during monsoon, 4.285mg/l to 5.71 mg/l during post monsoon and transparency 26.5 to 32 cm during monsoon, 27 to 31 cm during post monsoon. The Shannon diversity index was ranged between 2.345 to 2.6 during monsoon and 2.59 to 2.62 during post monsoon.

  • Risk and Coping Mechanisms of the Carp Spawn Fishing Community of the Halda River, Bangladesh
    Bangladesh J. Zool. 45(1): 85-96, 2017 ISSN: 0304-9027 (print) 2408-8455 (online) RISK AND COPING MECHANISMS OF THE CARP SPAWN FISHING COMMUNITY OF THE HALDA RIVER, BANGLADESH Aysha Akhtar, Md. Tarikul Islam, Md. Shafiqul Islam, Muhammad Moznu Mia, Md. Simul Bhuyan*, Md. Manzoorul Kibria1, Abu Sayeed Muhammad Sharif2, and Abu Hena Mustafa Kamal3 Institute of Marine Sciences and Fisheries, University of Chittagong, Chittagong, Bangladesh Abstract: To assess the livelihood risks and coping mechanisms of the spawn fishing community of the Halda river, Chittagong, Bangladesh was conducted. Four areas, namely Ankurighona, Gorduara, Madarimukh and Madunaghat were selected on the basis of the aggregation of spawn fishers. A structured questionnaire survey was made on 152 spawn fishers in two categories i.e. boat owner and hired laborers to collect primary data. Three major man-made risks, namely catch of brood fish, non-functioning sluice gates and cutting of river bends related to egg collection were mentioned by the spawn fishers while salinity intrusion, river erosion and fluctuation in weather variables were found as the main natural risks. Willingness to continue egg collection despite the risks was disagreed by most of the respondents while those who were found to continue egg collection mentioned their driving forces as high profit, tradition and hobby. The respondents expressed that they cannot take any measures to mitigate the risks of salinity intrusion, weather fluctuation, mortality of spawn, non-functioning sluice gates, cutting of river bends and political influences. However, informing police and raising awareness to stop illegal catch of brood, construction of proper sluice gates, stop further cutting of river bends and rehabilitation of erosion victims were mentioned as probable solutions.

  • The Case of Bangladesh D National Se
    Globalization, Local Crimes and National Security: The Case of Bangladesh Submitted by: Md. Ruhul Amin Sarkar Session: 149/2014-2015 Department: International Relations University of Dhaka. P a g e | 1 Abstract Globalization has become one of the most significant phenomena in the world since the end of the cold war. Globalization especially the economic globalization has brought about new opportunities and opened dynamic windows for the people of the world based on the notion of liberalism, free market, easy access of goods and services. Although globalization has brought about some positive gains for individuals and society, it has caused negative impacts on the society called ‘the dark side of globalization’. It has created complex and multifaceted security problems and threats to the countries especially the developing countries like Bangladesh. Globalization has changed the nature and dynamics of crime although crime is not a new phenomenon in Bangladesh. The nature or pattern of crime has changed remarkably with the advent of globalization, modern technology and various modern devices, which pose serious security threats to the individuals, society and the country. Globalization has created easy access to conducting illegal trade such as small arms, illegal drugs and human trafficking and some violent activities such as kidnapping, theft, murder, around the world as well as in Bangladesh. It has developed the new trends of crimes, gun violence, drugs crime, and increasing number of juvenile convicts and heinous crimes committed in Bangladesh. Over the years, the number of organized murder crimes is increasing along with rape cases and pretty nature of crimes with the advent of globalization and information technology.

Main Uddin 2, Md. Kamrul Islam 1*, Md. Manzoorul Kibria 3 1 Research Associate, Institute of Forestry and Environmental Sciences University of Chittagong, Chittagong 4331, BANGLADESH 2 Assistant Professor, Institute of Forestry and Environmental Sciences University of Chittagong, Chittagong 4331, BANGLADESH 3 Professor, Department of Zoology, University of Chittagong, Chittagong 4331, BANGLADESH * CORRESPONDENCE: [email protected] ABSTRACT The tidal river Halda that serves as a natural breeding ground for major Indian carps and sources of other aquatic resources is of special interest. This study was conducted to monitor the water quality using physicochemical and biological parameters of the river in three different sampling stations namely Gorduara, Sattarghat and Kalurghat. Eight physicochemical parameters of water - temperature, PH, transparency, EC, DO, TDS, SS, salinity and plankton communities were considered for monitoring water quality in three stations. All the physicochemical parameters were within the pollution standard except DO (4.5 mgL-1) at Kalurghat station. In case of biological monitoring, zooplankton populations consisting of four classes were identified where 13 zooplankton genera under these 4 classes showing the dominancy. The abundance of zooplankton was higher at Gorduara station (2042 No./ L) followed by Sattarghat (1906 No./ L) and Kalurghat (1610 No./ L) respectively. On the basis of Identifying 11 genera of algal genus, six genera were used to prepare ‘Palmer pollution index’ which identified Kalurghat station as highly polluted zone.

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.

The government is the legitimate custodian and savior of the civil rights of all its citizens. According to social scientists, when a state fails to ensure the protection of human rights of its citizens, it is considered as failed state. The United Nations possesses the authority to monitor the actions of member States for the protection and promotion of human rights around the globe. Bangladesh, as a member of the United Nations and signatory to a large number of international human rights treaties and conventions, has an obligation to ensure the rights of its people.
