In this article we investigate the complex relationship between environmental risk, poverty, and vulnerability in a case study carried out in one of the poorest and most flood-prone countries in the world, focusing on household and community vulnerability and adaptive coping mechanisms. Based upon t...

Background WHO and UNICEF launched the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) strategy in the mid-1990s to reduce deaths from diarrhoea, pneumonia, malaria, measles, and malnutrition in children younger than 5 years. We assessed the effect of IMCI on health and nutrition of children young...

Antibiotic-free broiler meat production is becoming increasingly popular worldwide due to consumer perception that it is superior to conventional broiler meat. Globally, broiler farming impacts the income generation of low-income households, helping to alleviate poverty and secure food in the countr...

We have explored electronic and thermoelectric properties of bismuth-based double-perovskite halides Cs2BiAgX6 (X = Cl, Br) by using first principles calculations. The calculated indirect bandgaps 2.85 eV and 1.99 eV for Cs2BiAgCl6 and Cs2BiAgBr6, respectively well agree with the measured values (2....

Adoption of conservation agriculture (CA) has been hampered in puddled rice-based cropping systems. In this study, we developed a method for transplanting rice (Oryza sativa L.) with minimal soil disturbance (referred to as minimum tillage unpuddled transplanting) that can expand the range of situat...

In this paper, we have performed a comprehensive set of first-principles calculations to study elastic, electronic, thermodynamic and thermoelectric properties of TaCoSn using density functional theory (DFT). Half-heusler, TaCoSn has been found to be elastically and thermodynamically stable, ductile...

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...

BACKGROUND: Logistic regression is a useful statistical technique commonly used in many fields like healthcare, marketing, or finance to generate insights from binary outcomes (e.g., sick vs. not sick). However, when applying logistic regression to complex survey data, which includes complex samplin...

We have studied electronic, phonon transport and thermoelectric properties of Cs2InAgCl6 using first-principles calculations. The PBE functional severely underestimates the bandgap and calculated value for fully relaxed Cs2InAgCl6 is 1.01 eV. Our calculated direct bandgap using TB-mBJ potential of p...

We review the recent development of Conservation Agriculture (CA) for rice-based smallholder farms in the Eastern Gangetic Plain (EGP) and the underpinning research on agronomy, weed control, soil properties and greenhouse gas emissions being tested to accelerate its adoption in Bangladesh. The stud...

ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of a dichotomous choice contingent valuation (CV) study of reduced flood risks in Bangladesh. Sensitivity of willingness to pay (WTP) to varying risk exposure levels is tested in a ‘natural experiment’, targeting floodplain residents facing regular annual flo...

Diabetic wounds often indicate chronic complications that are difficult to treat. Unfortunately, existing conventional treatment modalities often cause unpremeditated side effects, given the need to develop alternative therapeutic phenotypes that are safe or have minimal side effects and risks. Nano...

Water-soluble dyes are common persistent organic pollutants present in textile wastewater, which are associated with environmental pollution and health hazards. The conventional effluent treatment methods are not efficient to remove these dyes from textile wastewater. Heat activated persulfate based...

The solar water-heating (SWH) system is one of the most convenient applications of solar energy, which is considered an available, economical, and environmentally friendly energy source to fulfill the energy demands of the world. In this review, existing SWH systems and design aspects of major compo...

The adoption of conservation agriculture (CA) in the intensive triple-cropping, rice-based systems of the Eastern Gangetic Plain (EGP) alters the dynamics of carbon (C) in the soil, but the nature of these changes is poorly understood. Our aim was to determine whether CA in these systems involving n...
