  • 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.

  • Factors Affecting the Technical Efficiency of Boro Rice Production in Bangladesh a Cobb-Douglas Stochastic Frontier Analysis
    J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 6(1): 215-226, 2008 ISSN 1810-3030 Factors affecting the technical efficiency of Boro rice production in Bangladesh a Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier analysis M.M.H. Sikdarl, M.A. Alam2 and M.I. Hossain2 Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Patuakhalil Department of Agricultural Statistics, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh Abstract A Cob-Douglas stochastic frontier production function was estimated to determine the technical efficiency of Boro rice production in Bangladesh. Technical inefficiency effect model was also estimated simultaneously with stochastic frontiers to identify factors, which influence efficiency. The coefficients of fertilizer, irrigation and human labour were found to be significantly positive in the stochastic frontier function, which meant with increase of fertilizer, irrigation and human labour the production of Boro rice will be increased. The coefficient of extension contact was negative and significant in the inefficiency effect model in Phulpur upazIla. This indicates that inefficiency decreases with the increase in extension contact. The mean technical efficiency was 92 percent. There appeared 8 percent inefficiency, which means that the farmers increase their production 8 percent without changing the input. Keywords: Stochastic, Frontier function and Technical efficiency Introduction Agriculture has been playing a vital role in socio-economic progress and sustainable development through upliftment of rural economy, ensuring food security by attaining autarky in food grains production, poverty alleviation and so on. It contributes 21.91 percent to the country's GDP. Agricultural sector in Bangladesh is largely dominated by paddy production. About 75.77 percent of the total cropped area is devoted to rice cultivation (Statistical Yearbook of Bangladesh, 2004).

Furthermore, the intensity of poverty gets worse by high levels of vulnerability due to increasing frequency and magnitude of natural disasters in the coastal areas adjacent to the Bay of Bengal. The common disasters in Bangladesh include floods, cyclones, tornadoes, river erosion, landslides, droughts and earthquakes as well as the affects of these disasters. The situation is further exaggerated by a continuous rise of population and lack of functional community- based disaster management strategies.

  • Discrepancies Between Women's Reports and Men's Awareness of Sexual Harassment: a Study Among Representatives to the Union P
    DOI: 10.14744/ejmi.2019.98183 EJMI 2019;3(3):196–204 Research Article Discrepancies between Women’s Reports and Men’s Awareness of Sexual Harassment: A Study among Representatives to the Union Parishads in Bangladesh Imdadul Haque Talukdar, Karin Österman, Kaj Björkqvist Developmental Psychology, Åbo Akademi University, Vasa, Finland Abstract Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate differences between reports of victimisation from sexual harass- ment by females and awareness of it among their male colleagues. Methods: A questionnaire was completed by 821 representatives, 412 females, 409 males, from the Union Parishads, the rural local governance bodies of Bangladesh. Sexual harassment was measured with the Sexual Harassment Expe- rience Questionnaire, measuring different types of sexual harassment. Results: For all types of sexual harassment, reports by females on how often they were victimised were significantly higher than reports by males about how often they had observed female colleagues being harassed. Females 29−45 years of age were significantly more victimised from all types of sexual harassment than those 51−61 years old. Males 56−61 years of age scored higher than other males on observations of female victimisation from all types of sexual harassment. Females reported victimisation from verbal sexual harassment to be the most common type, followed by nonverbal harassment, and sexual harassment based on social manipulation; the least common type was victimisation from physical sexual harassment. Conclusion: Great discrepancies were found between reports by females of victimisation from sexual harassment in the Union Parishads and awareness of it by their male colleagues.
