This paper quantifies the expected impacts of climate change, climate variability and salinity accumulation on food production in coastal Bangladesh during the dry season. This forms part of a concerted series of actions on agriculture and salinity in Bangladesh under the UK funded Ecosystems for Po...

The potential impacts of climate change and socio-economic change on flow and water quality in rivers worldwide is a key area of interest. The Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) is one of the largest river basins in the world serving a population of over 650 million, and is of vital concern to India an...

In this paper we have examined the evolution of a number of parameters we believe were important for our understanding of the drought over India during the summer of 1987. The list of parameters includes monthly means or anomalies of the following fields: sea surface temperatures, divergent circulat...

BACKGROUND: It is unclear what constitutes a clinically meaningful response for allergic rhinitis (AR) outcomes. The objectives of these post hoc analyses were (1) to define a clinically meaningful response using novel efficacy analyses (including a responder analysis), and (2) to compare the effica...

In response to concerns that nurses spend less than 6% of their time on direct patient care, this study explored factors that influence nurses' behaviour in the provision of 'hands on' care in hospitals in Bangladesh. Through in-depth interviews with female nurses and patients and their co-workers i...

ABSTRACT This article investigates the year‐to‐year variability of the onset of the South China Sea summer monsoon ( SCSSM ) and the possible influences exerted by the surface temperature anomalies over land and sea. Early and late monsoon onsets are related to the temperature anomalies in different...

In the past decade concern has been raised through independent channels that nurses in Bangladesh do not provide active hands on care directly to patients as envisioned when the British nursing model was first introduced decades ago. The objective of the study was to observe the activities nurses en...

Material wealth is a key factor shaping human development and well-being. Every year, hundreds of studies in social science and policy fields assess material wealth in low- and middle-income countries assuming that there is a single dimension by which households can move from poverty to prosperity. ...

Abstract Previous studies showed that Antarctic ozone could modulate the Hadley circulation (HC) and precipitation in the Southern Hemisphere. However, whether and how, if any, Arctic stratospheric ozone (ASO) modulates the northern HC and subtropical precipitation remains unclear. We found an out‐o...

Abstract This work aims at detecting to what extent the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) modulation influences the upper warm temperature anomaly (UWTA) formation in Tanzania during March to May (MAM) season of 1980–2010. The UWTA has known to influence heavy rainfall events through enhanced vert...

The existence of several early childhood education institutions in Indonesia, such as in the Riau Province region, often faces the risk of catastrophic floods overflowing the Kampar River resulting in casualties. The results of preliminary research found that children lacked insight into flood disas...

When investigating the drivers and goals of both financial and energy inclusion, it becomes apparent that the two are mutually reinforcing concepts, which bear a high synergy potential. Nonetheless, screening for successfully scaled-up projects based on a combination of energy access and microfinanc...

Using monthly mean data from the Hadley Center and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction‐National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCEP‐NCAR) reanalysis, we have constructed two new indices I CP and I EP of boreal summer sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) in equatorial Pacific for ...

Abstract Using the data from ERA‐interim, the Hadley Centre Global Sea Surface Temperature data set, and the Climate Prediction Center Merged Analysis of Precipitation, after removing the simultaneous El Niño and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) signals, we have investigated...

Bangladesh is located at the confluence of three major river basins: the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna (GBM) basins. The GWAVA (Global Water AVailability Assessment) model, a global-scale gridded approach to hydrological modelling, has been applied to all GBM basins to investigate the impacts of cl...

This paper describes application of a statistical downscaling model to study the performance of the global circulation model HADCM3 (Hadley centre coupled model, version 3) for the Sylhet and Moulvibazar districts (North-eastern region) of Bangladesh. Predictors of HADCM3 have been downscaled by sta...

Climate change affects plant phenology, spatial distribution, and even extinction of vulnerable species. Dipterocarpus turbinatus, locally known as garjan, is a valuable but vulnerable native tree species of Bangladesh whose spatial distribution under future climate change scenarios is not fully und...

Abstract The potential effect of climatic change on the flow of the Upper Changjiang (or Yangtze River) above the Three Gorges, China, was simulated with the SLURP hydrological model, using ERA40 data from 1961–1990 to simulate the baseline streamflow, and employing scenario temperature and precipit...

Abstract The southwest monsoon delivers over 70% of India’s annual rainfall and is crucial to the success of agriculture across much of South Asia. Monsoon precipitation is known to be sensitive to sea surface temperature (SST) in the Bay of Bengal (BoB). Here, we use a configuration of the Unified ...

Abstract The southward circulation embedded within the conventional northward circulation of the Northern Hemisphere (NH) Hadley circulation (HC) is defined as a minor circulation . Motivated by the vital influence of this minor circulation, we investigate whether the minor circulation in the NH HC ...
