  • Patterns of Climate Change and Its Impacts in Northwestern Bangladesh
    Journal of Engineering Science 10(2), 2019, 33-48 JES an international Journal PATTERNS OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS IMPACTS IN NORTHWESTERN BANGLADESH Samarendra Karmakar Bangladesh Centre for Advanced Studies (BCAS), Dhaka, Bangladesh Received: 17 September 2019 Accepted: 27 October 2019 ABSTRACT Climatological data on different parameters like daily temperature, rainfall, maximum and minimum temperatures, relative humidity and pre-monsoon daily thunderstorm frequency over Rajshahi, Rangpur and Dinajpur for the period 1981-2016 have been used to study their temporal variations on monthly, seasonal and annual basis. Rainfall data is also used to compute the non-rainy days (dry days), and the relative humidity is used to compute heat stress over the places under study. The trends of dry days and heat stress are studied. Daily maximum and minimum temperatures are used to find out the frequencies of temperature >36C and temperature <10C for studying trends of heat waves and cold waves over the region. The temporal variations of all the parameters have increasing trends except for some parameters which have increasing trends from 2000. The study has revealed that the annual mean temperature has increasing trends in Rajshahi and Rangpur with increasing rates of +0.012 and +0.017C/year respectively during 1981-2016. It has decreasing trend in Dinajpur at -0.017C/ year during 1981-2016. But annual mean temperature at Dinajpur has increasing trend at a rate of +0.014C/year from 1990.

    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.
