The baseline survey was conducted with a view to generate information on existing status of fried potato chips from processing to marketing in selected locations of Bangladesh. The baseline information was collected from seven selected districts namely Dhaka, Gazipur, Tangail, Mymensingh, Bogura, Munshigonj and Jashore. Fifteen hawkers and five producers were randomly selected to collect the information by the pre-tested questionnaire from each location both from producer to consumer. Most of the hawkers of Bogura was above 40 years old (80%) followed by Dhaka who were 25-39 years old (60%). In Bangladesh, eighty percent people were above 40 years old engaged in processing fried potato chips. All aged people in Bogura preferred fried potato chips (100%) whereas maximum child in Jashore (80%) liked fried potato chips. Bogura and Munshigonj people were unknown about healthiness knowledge of fried chips consumption. Bogura, Jashore and Munshigonj processors/producers were hawkers and they prepared the product and distributed the products to the market or direct involved in sale. Fried chips processing people in the survey area used deep frying technique (100%). Soya bean oil used for deep oil frying of potato chips by 80% small processors. Most of the respondents changed their frying oil during frying when frying oil turned into cloudy.

The study was carried out in two intensive potato growing areas (Rangpur and Munshigonj) to estimate the technical efficiency of potato producers and to describe the level of variation in potato productivity due to differences in input use. Data were collected from 60 farmers (30 farmers from each district) using simple random sampling technique. Average technical efficiency was 86% implying that on average 14% inefficiency remained at producers level. The application of human labour, MoP, and weedicides would increase potato yield significantly. On the other hand, the coefficient of urea and pesticide cost was found negative and significant which advarsely effect the yield of potato. Moreover, the coefficient of operated land and extension linkage were found negative and significant implying that with further increase in operated land and extension linkage, technical efficiency would increase. Munshigonj was found to be more suitable area for potato production. The performance of selfproduced and stored potato seeds are poor compared to the seeds from BADC. Supply of quality seeds to the farmers should be ensured by strengthening seed production and distribution system both in public and private sectors.

The study was conducted in the Lohajang upazilla under Munshigonj district. The main purposes of the study were i) to describe the selected characteristics of the potato farmers; ii). to determine the extent of marketing problems faced by the farmers and iii). to explore relationship between selected characteristics of the farmers and their marketing problems. From the findings it was revealed that about one half of the respondents were middle aged and another half was young (41.9%) and old (8.6%). The highest proportion (73.3%) achieved education ranging from primary to above secondary. Rest of the respondents had no school education. All the respondents had organizational participation. More than two third had medium to high organizational participation. Potato growers of Lohajang were not so much financially sound as the result showed that only (6.7 %) had high capability and the overwhelming majority (58.1% & 35.2%) were under low to medium category. Regarding knowledge, one half of the respondents had low knowledge and the other half had medium to high knowledge. Distance of market place showed not much problems because (81%) of the respondents stayed within 2 km of market place. Among the respondents, the highest (52.4%) proportion had medium storage facilities, while (23.8 %) potato growers had low and high storage facilities. Among the respondents the highest (49.5 %) potato growers faced medium problem in potato marketing. Regarding the relationship between the selected dependent and independent variable, it was observed that age and distance of market place had significant positive relationships with marketing problems of potato growers. Educational level, financial capabilities, extent of use of quality control, availability of marketing information and storage facilities had significant negative relationships with marketing problems of potato growers. On the other hand, organizational participation had no relationship with marketing problems of potato growers.

A study was conducted to build the mouza and union level databases of potato during 2011-12 using both primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected from potato growers of unions of three upazilas, namely Vober Char, (Gazaria, Munshigonj), Atmul, (Shibganj, Bogra) and Mittipur (Pirganj, Rangpur), respectively. Mouza, union, upazila and district level digitized maps of Bangladesh were used in the program. GIS, GPS, MIS, Modem and mobile phone technologies were used. Databases of different parameters such as area, production, yield, and varietal information etc. of potato were obtained. Mouza have been used as the smallest unit of land use management for agriculture because it has administrative boundary and social identity. Average yield of potato was 17.45 t/ha in the study areas during 2011-12. Out of total potato areas 69.06% was cultivated by HYVs and the rest 30.94% by local varieties. Out of 46 HYVs released by BARI, 11 varieties were cultivated in the study areas during the same period. Databases and maps developed by data collection from root level (Farmers field, mouza, block and union etc.) may help to identify variety wise area coverage of potato.Bangladesh J. Agril.

Male breast cancer is a rare cancer that forms in the breast tissue of men. Though breast cancer is most commonly thought of as a disease that affects women, it does occurs in men. Male breast cancer is most common in older men, in between ages 60 and 70, though it can rarely occur under age 35. Common predisposing causes that raise odds for male breast cancer includes-breast cancer in a first degree relatives, history of radiation exposure to chest, enlarged breast (gynaecomastia) because of excess endogenous or exogenous estrogens, obesity, mutation of BRCA2 gene (common), cirrhosis of liver, history of some drugs intake, alcoholism, klinefelter’s syndrome, diseases of the testicles such as mumps orchitis or orchidectomy, prostate cancer or may be idiopathic. Here we present a case of older aged man who reported with a lump and itching of the left breast for one year in OPD of a general clinic in Munshigonj. The patient was referred to the unit-1, department of surgery, Sir Salimullah Medical College Mitford Hospital where clinical diagnosis was carcinoma of left breast.

Potato is one of the important food crops in Bangladesh. Its demand is increasing day by day. The Tuber Crop Research Centre (TCRC) of BARI released 40 HYV potato varieties and disseminated them in the farmers fields through different agencies. But most varieties were not adopted well by the farmers due to unknown reasons. Therefore, an attempt was made to assess the level of adoption and profitability of BARI released potato variety at farm level. Data were collected from 150 randomly selected potato farmers from Munshigonj, Bogra and Comilla districts during January-February 2010. The results indicated that 48% potato areas were covered by Diamant variety, 16% by Cardinal, 22% by Granola, and the rest 14% areas were covered by Binella, Asterix, Provento, Felsina, Multa and Hira. The cost of BARI released potato cultivation was Tk 2, 10,629 and Tk 1, 84,135 per hectare on full cost and variable cost basis. The major share of total cost was for seed (42%) followed by fertilizer (21%) and human labour (14%). The average yield of potato was 26 t/ha with gross margin of Tk 1, 51,003 per hectare. The net return of potato cultivation was Tk 1, 24,509 per hectare. The benefit cost ratios were 1.59 and 1.82 on full cost and variable cost basis. Human labour, land preparation, seed, and irrigation had positive and significant effect on potato production. Nonavailability of HYV seed at proper time, lack of technical knowledge, high price of seed and fertilizer, infestation of insect and diseases, and lack of storage facilities were the major problems of potato production.

This was a description type of cross sectional study conducted among 210 rural mothers having 0-6 months child, attending the out patient department of Sirajdikhan Upazilla Heath Complex, Munshigonj. Total 210 women were selected by purposive sampling method. Data were collected through structured questionnaire by face to face interview Out of 210 respondents, majority (59.52%) was in the age group 18-27 years and only 0.48% was above 47 years. Mean age of the respondents was 26.29 years. Most of the respondents (43.33%) completed SSC and only 3.8% were uneducated. Among the respondents 83.33% were house wives. Monthly incomes of the respondents (39.05%) were more than 12000 taka. Most of the mother (80.95%) had children of age 1-3 years. Majority of mothers (77.14%) had conception about requirement of initiation of weaning at 6 months and 15.24% had at 5 months. Maximum respondents (44.76%) had given khichury, 44.29% Shuji and rest of them (10.95%) had given home made food. Mothers (78.57%) continued breast feeding with weaning. About 74.76% respondents complained of occasional vomiting with weaning. Majority (62.38%) of children had given food on time, those children who were provided complementary feeding was physically normal. Majority (57.14%) of mothers had no complained during weaning period. Registered physicians (76.19%) were the health care provider when the children were sick. Although most of the mothers started weaning at appropriate times, we cannot consider it satisfactory. As we must think about all the children and keep all of them healthy, we need to improve this rate up to 100%. Unless we achieve this level we can't achieve our goals of health for all.

Previous evaluations of a birth cohort in the Munshiganj District of Bangladesh had found that over 85% of 397 children aged 2–3 years had blood lead concentrations above the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s reference level of 5 μg/dL. Studies in urban areas of Bangladesh have found elevated levels of lead in the air due to industries and remaining contamination from the historic use of leaded gasoline. Sources of lead in rural areas of Bangladesh remain unknown. We conducted air sampling in both residential and industrial sites in Munshiganj to determine whether children are exposed to elevated lead concentrations in the air and study the association between the children’s blood lead levels and sampled air lead concentrations. Residential and industrial air samples in Munshiganj were found to have elevated lead concentrations (mean 1.22 μg/m3) but were not found to be associated with the observed blood lead concentrations. Lead in air is an important environmental health exposure risk to the for children in Munshiganj, and further research may shed light on specific sources to inform exposure prevention and mitigation programs.

Dairy farming is an important approach for farmers to increase their incomes and which has a significant contribution to the economy of Bangladesh. The present study describes the dairy characteristics and estimates the financial profitability of dairy farming in selected milk pocket districts of Bangladesh. Following study areas- Sirajganj, Bogura, Rangpur, Satkhira and Munshiganj districts were selected based on the fastest growing dairying, abundant number of dairy farms and contribution in national milk production. Two hundred and sixty-five (265) dairy farms were selected across the study areas and data were collected through direct interview method. The study revealed that dairy herd sizes from the surveyed farms varied from 5 to 19 per farm. Average milk productivity was found 7 to 10 L per cow per day, in which Satkhira district cow’s milk productivity per day (10 L/cow/d) and lactation (3,116 L/cow/lactation) was found the highest and Rangpur district was the lowest. On the contrary, significantly (p=0.000) highest milk production per farm per lactation was in the Rangpur district (33,697 L) and the lowest in the Bogura district (9,818 L). Results revealed that statistically (p=0.000) higher income generated in Munshiganj district in terms of per cow per year and/or per day compared to the other milk pocket districts. The study also indicated that repeat breeding cost and unavailable income per farm per year were higher in the Sirajganj district and lowers in the Bogura district. Repeat breeding problems increases the production cost of the animals significantly (p=0.000) and negatively affect the farm profitability of the milk pocket areas in Bangladesh. Annually gross margin and net return per cow were statistically (p=0.000) higher in Munshiganj district. Benefit-cost ratios were found more than one and indicated that benefit is much higher than the cost of production at Satkhira (annual BCR/farm=1.52) and Munshiganj districts (annual BCR/farm=1.50) compared to the other areas (0.27–0.35 units more). Dairy farming provides higher economic benefits to the farmers of Munshiganj and Satkhira districts compared to the other milk pocket districts. The research concludes that there is an ample scope and possibility for sustaining and developing dairy farming in the milk pocket districts of Bangladesh. Overall, it may be suggested that the causes of repeat breeding should be identified and corrected accordingly within the shortest possible time for the betterment of dairying. Also, milk prices should be similar across the milk pocket districts and essential inputs prices should be kept within the affordable purchase range of farmers for sustainable dairying.

Climate change is a contemporary global threat to the whole world especially in the coastal area like Bangladesh. Bangladesh is extremely vulnerable to climate change impacts because of its geographical location. This research is an attempt to assess the impacts of climate change on fishersʹ livelihood of a selected climate hotspot zone Munshiganj. In the study area, the average sex ratios of male and female were 56.67% and 43.33%, respectively and their religion ratio were Islam 45% and Hindu 55%. There was 60% nuclear family and 40% joint family. About 86.4% house was tin-shed and drinking water source was only tube well. In Munshiganj, 11% fishers were illiterate, 27% had primary, 38% had secondary, 16% had higher secondary and 8% had bachelor. Most of the people about 59% were depended on Upazila Health Complex for their health issues. Highest percentage of fishers about 40% had an annual income of 20,001 to 24,000 BDT. About 62.7% fishers were agreed with the statements: reduce fish production, damage fishing ground, blockage of fish migration road, damage biodiversity, increasing temperature, enhance soil erosion, reduce rainfall, siltation, water flow, storm frequency, changing spawning season, decrease fish production, extinction fish species. In study area, women and children are affected severely i.e. malnutrition, education, treatment, early marriage etc. The present study clearly indicates that there are visible changes in livelihood condition of fishers‟ in the study areas of Munshiganj.

The main objective of this study was to determine the extent of adoption of improved potato production technologies by the potato growers. Data were collected from 231 potato growers of three highly concentrated potato growing Upazilas, namely Pirgachha (Rangpur), Munshiganj Sadar (Munshiganj), and Shibganj (Bogra) during October 2010 to February 2011. The potato growers showed marked individual differences in their socio-economic characteristics and majority of them belonged to middle age category having small family size, primary level of education, small farm size, medium innovativeness, and medium contact with extension personnel. The study revealed that highest proportion of the respondents in Munshiganj Sadar belonged to high adoption category in case of BARI recommended potato variety (72.6%), optimum planting time (87.7%), use of balanced fertilizers (45.2%), whereas medium adoption categories were found in quality potato seed (52.1%), proper seed size (47.9%), fertilizer application methods (71.2%), optimum irrigation (89%), earthing up (84.9%), plant protection (74%), and low adoption categories were found in maintaining proper spacing (42.5%). In Pirganj of Rangpur, highest proportion of the respondents belonged to high adoption category in case of BARI recommended potato variety (77%), optimum planting time (83.8%), whereas medium adoption categories were found in the use of quality potato seed (64.9%), balanced fertilizer (43.2%), proper seed size (52.7%), fertilizer application methods (87.8%), optimum irrigation (97.3%), earthing up (86.5%), plant protection (93.2%), and low adoption categories were found in maintaining proper spacing (64.9%). In Shibganj of Bogra, highest proportion of the respondents were found in high adoption category in case of BARI recommended potato variety (75%), optimum planting time (86.9%), whereas medium adoption categories were found in use of quality potato seed (52.4%), balanced fertilizers (47.6%), fertilizer application methods (78.6%), optimum irrigation (95.2%), earthing up (88.1%), plant protection (76.2%), and low adoption categories were found in maintaining proper spacing (59.5%) and proper seed size (57.1%). The study also revealed that highest (53.4%) proportion of the respondents in Munshiganj Sadar belonged to high potato yield (above 29 ton/ha) farmer category while medium potato yield (between 19 to 29 t/ha) category were found in other two areas i.e., Shibganj (58.80%) and Pirgachha (79.50%). Education, farm size, subsistence pressure, annual income, contact with the sources of information, farming experience, attitude, and knowledge on potato production showed significant positive relationship with adoption of improved potato production technologies.

Potato is the third largest food crop in Bangladesh by tonnage of production. Its acreage and production are also increasing in day after day. This study was accomplished to examine the profitability and resource use efficiency of potato cultivation in five upazilas of Munshiganj district of Bangladesh. A total of 52 farmers were selected randomly from the study area. Data were collected through farm survey by using a suitable pre-tested questionnaire in February-March, 2016. Profitability analysis, Cobb-Douglas production function, MVP, MFC and Farm Budgeting model were used to analyze the objectives. Average gross return, gross margin and net return were found Tk. 3,47,200, Tk. 1,47,125 and Tk. 1,17,300, respectively. Benefit-cost ratio was found 1.51 and 1.74 on full cost and variable cost basis, respectively. The key production factors, i.e. human labour, land preparation, seed, fertilizer, insecticides and irrigations had significant effect on gross return of potato. Resource use efficiency analysis revealed that farmers were not efficient in using resources in potato cultivation. Human labor, land preparation, insecticide and irrigation were under-utilized and therefore increasing use of those resources could maximize the profitability. Seed and fertilizer constituted major parts of the cost of production hence optimum use of those resources could also enhance the profitability and resource use efficiency of potato cultivation in Munshiganj district.SAARC J.

Malnutrition has long been regarded as a widespread public health problem especially in the poorest part of Bangladesh. For determining nutritional status of women living in South-West coastal belt of Bangladesh, in this regard, Shyamnagar Upazilla of Satkhira district was selected. A random questionnaire survey was conducted by pre scheduled structured questionnaire among the 6 villages from Gabura and Munshiganj union of the Shyamnagar UpaziIla during November, 2012 to January, 2013. A total of 120 households (preferably women) were randomly selected from the six study villages based on mainly livelihood pattern of the households such as crop production, shrimp culture and Sunderbans depended activities. In the study area, about 54.17% women had BMI of 18.5-24.9 and mean body weight of 49.75 ± 8.36 kg. About 79.16% families had vegetable gardens around their houses and they were gardening mainly for consumption and additional income of the family. Most of the families could not afford to enough eat more egg, fish or meat after Aila occurred because of low availability due to soil salinity. Salinity caused many diseases; skin disease was one of them. About 28% families bought food in credit and 20.14% respondents in Gabura and 31.59% in Munshiganj paid their loan at Pohela Boishakh. They received treatment facilities for their health hazards from village doctors and public health centre during the period of disease occurred. This study concluded that salinity affect the livelihood and nutrition on the community of the coastal belt.J. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 8(2): 41-46 2015

Among the 60 Anas platyrhynchos domesticus (32 males and 38 females), all the mallards were infested with Anaticola cassicornis and Lipeurus caponis. A. cassicornis displayed the peak intensity (15.5 ± 3.64) in female ducks. The lowest prevalence was of Colpocephalum turbinatum (25%) and found in male but the intensity was high (15 ± 2.23). Among the endoparasites, the highest prevalence was of Ascaridia galli (85.71%) found in female ducks and the lowest was in Echinostoma trivolvus (12.5%) found in male. The peak intensity was of Sobolevicanthus sp. (17.8 ± 2.34) in female following Echinostoma revolutum (17.33 ± 0.97). Ectoparasites were seen to infest all the seasons. But endoparasites were more prevalent in summer than the autumn and winter.

The present article focuses the status of angiosperm flora of Sreenagar upazila under Munshiganj district. The study was done from July 2015 to June 2016. A total of 219 plant species of angiosperms was identified belonging to 165 genera and 70 families. Among them 38 species were monocotyledons and 181 plant species were dicotyledons. Herbs were the largest life forms among the angiosperms and contained about 58% of total plant species occurring in this area. Trees and shrubs occupied 23% and 12% respectively. Climbers were 6% but epiphytes (1%) were very negligible in number in the study area. About 51 medicinal plants were recorded from this study. The following species viz. Lasia spinosa, Calamus tenuis, Tinospora crispa, Passiflora foetida and Calotropis procera were recorded only once and hence considered as rare species in Sreenagar upazila. An invasive poisonous plant Parthenium hysterophorus was also found in Sreenagar.

This study was conducted to determine the extent of adoption of BARI recommended potato varieties by the potato growers in three Upazilas namely, Pirgachha of Rangpur, Munsiganj sadar of Munsiganj and Shibganj of Bogra district of Bangladesh. To achieve the objectives, the present research was designed to collect both qualitative and quantitative data. The study areas were selected purposively considering highly concentrated potato growing areas. Total numbers of potato growers in the selected areas were 581 from which 231 were selected as respondents following proportionate random sampling technique. A pre-tested interview schedule was used to collect data from the respondents during October, 2010 to February, 2011. The potato growers showed marked individual differences in their socio-economic characteristics and majority of them belonged to middle age category having small family size, primary level of education, small farm size, medium innovativeness and medium contact with extension personnel. The study revealed that the highest proportion (68.4%) of the potato farmers belonged to high adoption category; whereas 6.5 percent fall in medium adoption category and 25.1 percent in low adoption category of BARI recommended potato varieties. Extent of adoption of BARI recommended potato varieties were found more or less equal in three different study areas, where the highest (72.6%) portion of the potato farmers were in high adoption category in Munshiganj Sadar followed by 68.4 percent in Shibganj and 67.5 percent in Pirgachha. The studies also revealed that Diamant, Cardinal and Granola were the most popular varieties among all the released varieties of BARI and are largely grown in Munshiganj, Rangpur and Bogra, respectively. Farmers education and knowledge about potato cultivation technology showed significant positive relationship with their adoption of BARI recommended potato varieties.

IntroductionIn Bangladesh, Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for 67% of all deaths. Mental health services are not available in routine healthcare at the primary facilities in Bangladesh. The protocol is for a qualitative study that seeks to understand the perceptions, beliefs and norms regarding common mental disorders (CMDs) among patients with NCD with and without CMDs to identify barriers to accessing mental health services in rural communities in Bangladesh. We also aim to explore the feasibility of integrating mental healthcare into routine NCD services at primary health facilities in rural Bangladesh.Methods and analysisThis study will be conducted at the outpatient departments in two subdistrict hospitals and one district hospital in Munshiganj district in Bangladesh. We will purposefully select patients with hypertension and diabetes from the patient inventory generated from a recently completed randomised control trial titled ‘Control of Blood Pressure and Risk Attenuation Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka’ in two subdistricts in Munshiganj district in Bangladesh. The selected participants will be screened for CMD using the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale - 21 Items (DASS-21) over the telephone. Sixty in-depth interviews with patients and family members, 8–10 key informant interviews with healthcare providers and 2 focus group discussions with community health workers will be held following consent.The study is conceptualised under Levesque et al’s framework. Thematic analysis will be applied following the study objectives and key issues, and commonly emerging topics generated by the data. The findings will be presented anonymously to corroborate the interpretation.Ethics and disseminationApproval has been obtained from the Institutional Review Board at icddr,b (PR-19108) and the University of York (HSRGC/2020/382/F). Written informed consent or audio recording consent form in Bangla will be obtained. For dissemination, we will invite representatives of the collaborating institutions to share the findings in national or international conferences and peer-reviewed journals.

Contemporary lifestyle, needs, and advancements have resulted in replacing the unique indigenous practices of the traditional wetland communities with modern methods and materials. Higher consideration of environmental concerns in the 21st century has shadowed pressing societal concerns in the sustainability assessment paradigm. The social aspects impact the lifestyle, adaptability, as well as behavior of the inhabitants, especially in developing countries. The objective of the present study is to evaluate and compare social sustainability in the traditional wooden houses of Munshiganj, Bangladesh, with contemporary masonry houses through social sustainability indicators. Empirical data is collected through a series of on-site workshops. The study also follows an innovative approach of collecting users’ feedback through a questionnaire survey. The findings of the study indicate that within a proposed set of indicators, the traditional practices adopted in a wooden house have higher social sustainability than the contemporary practices made of brick and cement.

Char dwellers are considered poorer than the mainland population. A constant threat of riverbank failure, flooding, and seasonal cyclone, combined with lack of physical infrastructures, and employment opportunities in the Chars, makes a vulnerable, difficult, and fragile life. The aim of the present work was an initiative to improve the livelihood of Char dwellers through fish culture in the net cages. A focus group survey was conducted on Char dwellers to know about the livelihood conditions. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of plankton was performed to know the productivity of the Padma River. In the study area, there was an average of 5 household members in each family of the Charland dwellers, and the average sex ratio of males and females was 56.67% and 43.33%, respectively. The age group of below 15 to 60 years and their religion ratio of Muslim and Hindu was 45% and 55%. The total number of identified genera of phytoplankton was 41, and the total number of zooplankton genera was 20 in the Padma River. Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was cultured in the net cages providing three different feeds i.e. natural feed, kitchen waste (leftover rice), and rice bran. The final weights of the experimental tilapia were 314.8 ± 24.3 g after 5 months of feeding natural food, 321.4 ± 22.8 g after 5 months of feeding natural food with kitchen waste, and 324.8 ± 29.5 g after 5 months of feeding natural food with rice bran. Considering the plankton populations and water quality parameters, the Padma River near the Charland of Munshiganj was productive for fish farming. We found the results of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) farming in net cages near the river of Char, which were almost the same (has no significant difference among the diets) by providing low-cost supplementary feed and without supplementary feed. Therefore, the result indicates that Char dwellers can culture fishes in net cages to have the fish in their daily meals and can earn extra income from selling the fish to improve their livelihood. Moreover, applied research and interdisciplinary adaptive policy framework are requisite for the Charland livelihoods sustainability in the Padma River, Munshiganj, Bangladesh. Asian J. Med. Biol.

Background.During the conduct of a cohort study intended to study the associations between mixed metal exposures and child health outcomes, we found that 78% of 309 children aged 20–40 months evaluated in the Munshiganj District of Bangladesh had blood lead concentrations ≥5 µg/dL and 27% had concentrations ≥10 µg/dL.Hypothesis.Environmental sources such as spices (e.g., turmeric, which has already faced recalls in Bangladesh due to high lead levels) may be a potential route of lead exposure.Methods.We conducted visits to the homes of 28 children randomly selected from among high and low blood lead concentration groups. During the visits, we administered a structured questionnaire and obtained soil, dust, rice, and spice samples. We obtained water samples from community water sources, as well as environmental samples from neighborhood businesses.Results.Lead concentrations in many turmeric samples were elevated, with lead concentrations as high as 483 ppm. Analyses showed high bioaccessibility of lead.Conclusions.Contamination of turmeric powder is a potentially important source of lead exposure in this population.

This paper presents the consequences of ‘forced loan-recovery’, which is an unconstitutional technique allegedly practiced by most of the microfinance institutes (MFIs) in Bangladesh. An empirical study was carried out on the borrowers of three leading microfinance institutes namely, Grameen Bank (GB), BRAC and ASA. Data were collected from two poverty-plagued villages namely, Uttar Islampur and Ruhitpur of Munshiganj district. The mixed research methods were applied. Findings of this study demonstrate that most of the borrowers experience assorted problems on the day of loan repayment. If they fail to pay back the debt aright loan officers and their allies treat them raucously. In order to avoid such unpleasant situations, insolvent borrowers tend to make multiple auxiliary loans and payback the previous ones. As a result, they fall into the decoy of a borrowing-repaying cycle. Sometimes, over-indebtedness compels them to sell out their tangible assets. Thus, they become even poorer. Furthermore, borrowers use to experience discontented domestic and social lives due to such loan-collection techniques of the microfinance institutes.

A survey was carried out to evaluate the overall condition, infrastructure facilities, handling and quality management system, condition of raw materials of shrimp, Bagda (Penaeus monodon) farms and depots of some selected shrimp producing areas of Coxs Bazar (Chokoria and Teknaf), Khulna (Paikgacha and Koira), Bagerhat (Rampal and Mongla) and Satkhira (Munshiganj and Ashashuni) through direct observation and interview with cross section of people engaged in farms, depots and processing industries. The survey results revealed that the production of shrimp was not satisfactory. The post-harvest quantitative and qualitative losses in the farms were due to longer duration of harvesting, exposure of shrimp at high ambient temperature for a long time (delayed icing), contamination from dirty floor and lack of general hygiene and sanitation. On the other hand, major quality loss in depots were due to delayed icing, use of inadequate ice, rough handling and peeling, presence of foreign materials, packed under pressure in the bamboo basket, contamination, body crushing, use of dirty utensils and lack or poor personal hygiene of depot workers.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/pa.v19i1.17363 Progress.

This paper is about the transformation in the patriarchal structure of Rashidpur village in Munshiganj district, Bangladesh following overseas migration of men leaving their women in the village. In doing so, the study explores the continuity and changes in the discourse and practices of traditional gender roles in a patriarchal Muslim society considering the perspective of both men and women. The study pays especial attention to transnational communication of the villagers, the changes in their gender based mobility and its contribution to the changes in patriarchal ideology. The study is based on ethnographic fieldwork, which examines whether the changes are sustainable or temporal for a period when the husbands are abroad and what happens to the practices when the husbands permanently return. Though the findings of the study indicate the diversity and complexity of practices, migration of men increases the mobility of the left behind women. Again, the entrance of cell phone, TV and satellite channels and transnational communication of women have significantly changed their agency as individuals. Consequently, many young wives like to come out of the domination of their in-laws and live in separate households instead of previous joint arrangement. The overall findings of the study show a remarkable change in the traditional pattern of village life. The study contextualizes structure and agency to understand how patriarchal structure influences individuals and how individuals play a role to transform the structure in exchange through their mobility, activities and resistance when the migrants are abroad.

This study aims to analyze the supply chain of potatoes and determine the factors affecting postharvest losses of potatoes at the producer level of Bangladesh. Data were collected through a face-to-face interview schedule from a sample of total 60- 30 farmers, 6 wholesalers, 5 aratdars, 5 retailers, and 14 consumers in Sirajdikhan and Sadar Upazila of Munshiganj district. Descriptive statistics (percentages, frequencies, etc.) and multiple linear regression analysis were used for this study. The result shows that channel 4 is the longest marketing chain in the study area which includes the marketing actors – farmers, aratdars, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers. In the supply chain of potatoes, the amount of postharvest loss is 6.6% for the producer’s level, 5.3% for the wholesale level, 1.10% for the aratdar level, and 2.1% for the retailer level in the study area. The regression model reveals that age and amount of production have a significant positive relationship, while experience has a significant negative relationship with the postharvest losses of potatoes. The study also shows that lack of storage facility (48.94%) and poor packaging system (32.73%) are the major reasons for occurring postharvest losses of potatoes. The farmers and intermediaries suggested that it is necessary to identify the maturity stage of potatoes at harvesting time (70%), improve the cold storage facility (56.67%), and improve the loading and unloading system (56.25%), etc. for reducing postharvest losses of potato.

This paper investigates the probable nexus between methane (CH4) and air pollutants, a public health hazard in Bangladesh. The hypothesis considers that the concentration of CH4 is dependent on the ten air pollutants found in the five districts in Dhaka Division, a major urban and industrial area in Bangladesh. These pollutants are: Particular matters (PM2.5), Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), Nitrogen oxide (NOx), Aerosol optical thickness (AOT), Sulfur dioxide (SO2), Carbon monoxide (CO), Ozone (O3), Black carbon (BC), Formaldehyde (HCHO) and Dust. The study applies Machine Learning (ML) technique and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) Modeling. Temporal CH4 datasets from the Sentinel-5P sensor are classified to estimate the annual CH4 concentration during 2019-2021.Seven supervised classifiers of ML coupled with the GWR model are used to predict the statistical and spatial relationships. CH4 increases gradually during 2018-2021 in Dhaka, Gazipur, and Munshiganj Districts. It relates differently with various air pollutants, e.g., positively with BC, Dust, NO2, PM2.5, O3, and AOT, and negatively with NOx, CO, HCHO, and SO2.This study results that Rational quadratic (RMSE-0.001, MAE-0.001, R2-0.96), Random Forest (RMSE-0.004, MAE-0.003, R2-0.91), and Stepwise regression (RMSE-0.002, MAE-0.002, R2-0.87) are the suitable method in ML. The highest goodness-of-fit (R2) of 82%-96% is found in Dhaka and Narshingdi Districts. The key findings may help formulate the appropriate action plan to mitigate ongoing and future air pollution in Bangladesh. In addition, the methodology of the research may be applicable elsewhere nationally and internationally for air pollution research.

Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a major food source in the whole world including Bangladesh. Viral diseases are the key constraint for sustainable potato production by reducing both quality and quantity. To determine the present status of eight important potato viruses in Bangladesh, tuber samples were collected from three major potato growing regions (Munshiganj, Jessore and Bogra districts) in January–February 2017 and February 2018. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) with coat protein (CP)-specific primers were used to amplify CP sequences of the respective viruses, and confirmed by sequencing, which were deposited in the GenBank. Results indicated that the tuber samples were subjected to Potato leafroll virus (PLRV), Potato virus X (PVX), Potato virus Y (PVY), Potato virus S (PVS), Potato virus H (PVH), Potato aucuba mosaic virus (PAMV) and Potato virus M (PVM) infection, whereas mixed infections were very common. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the PLRV from this study was closely related to a Canadian and a Chinese isolate, respectively; PVX was closely related to a Canadian and a Chinese isolate, respectively; PVY was closely related to a Chinese isolate; PVS was closely related to a Chinese and an Iranian isolate, respectively; PAMV was closely related to a Canadian isolate; PVH was closely related to a Huhhot isolate of China; and PVM was closely related to an Indian and an Iranian isolate, respectively. As far as we know, PAMV in this study is the first report in Bangladesh. These findings will provide a great scope for appropriate virus control strategies to virus free potato production in Bangladesh.

The objective of the present study was to determine the overall extent of contact through mobile phone to different information sources by commercial potato growers and to explore the relationships between overall extent of contact through mobile phone and their selected characteristics. The study was carried out at Imampura union under Gazaria Upazila of Munshiganj district. Data were collected from a sample of 88 potato growers by using interview schedule during September to October 2011. Appropriate scales were used in order to measure the concerned variables. Correlation test was used to ascertain the relationships between the concerned variables. Majority (71.6 per cent) of the potato growers had very low mobile phone use while 27.3 per cent of the potato growers had low mobile phone use and only 1.1 per cent had medium use with different information sources. Contact with relatives, friends; different market agents, and cold storage manager were the most important mobile phone using contact sources. Potato growers had more contact with other agents (friends and relatives, progressive potato growers etc.) compared to the input dealer and extension agents. Their characteristics such as year of schooling, household size, farm size, annual family income, attitude towards mobile phone use, knowledge on potato production and commercialization of potato had significant positive relationships with the overall contact through mobile phone; while age, organizational exposure, cosmoliteness had no significant relationships with their extent of contact through mobile phone.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/pa.v24i1-2.19282 Progress.

A checklist of 110 species of fishes belonging to 10 orders, 31 families and 78 genera was recorded with their scientific, common and Bangla or local names. These fish specimens were collected from the rivers, beels, haors, ponds and swamps of middle to North-east Bangladesh (Jamalpur, Netrokona, Kishorganj, Munshiganj and Bogra Districts). The order Cypriniformes (37%) was recorded higher followed by Perciformes (24%), Siluriformes (23%), Clupeiformes (6%). The global and national IUCN categories of these species are also provided. Based on local IUCN criteria, around 23% fish species belongs to threatened level and 5, 8 and 10% are denoted as critically endangered (CR), endangered (EN) and vulnerable (VU), respectively. Although collection and preservation is comparatively hassle-free, however, due to mingle nature of few fish species; it seems difficult to error free identification of the collected fishes by morphological traits alone. Two individuals from Sanondabari, Jamalpur (MHBSFMSTU Fish 92 and Ghaglajur Bazar, Netrokona (MHBSFMSTU Fish 84), morphologically very similar but they are completely two separated species i.e. Gagata cenia and G. youssoufi, respectively. Phenotypic plasticity is a barrier to name the fish species accurately, suggesting the presence of putative candidate species or existence of hidden diversity in the collected specimens of Sisoridae family. Due to anthropological effects, the biodiversity and fishing grounds are losing their qualities, resulting the low number of freshwater fish species in these sampling sites. The systematic, ecology, distribution, habitats of these fish fauna need to be studied exclusively and a well-planned conservation strategy need to implement as early as possible for protecting our valuable freshwater tasty fishes. Further, the output of the current study will also guide the government and non-government organization to come forward and take necessary measure for the betterment of the country, its economy, and fisheries resources.

Multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a form of TB resistant to isoniazid and rifampicin and considered as a major threat to TB control worldwide. Limited data are available regarding risk factors and serum zinc status of MDR-TB in Bangladesh. Tuberculosis is a disease which blocks a key part of the bodys immune defense. As zinc deficiency causes immune suppression, we assume that it may play a role in the development of MDR-TB. So, this study was carried out to evaluate and assess the serum zinc level as well as different risk factors in patients of MDR-TB. This case control study was carried out in the Department of Clinical Pathology, in collaboration with Department of Public Health and Informatics, Department of Biochemistry, BSMMU and National tuberculosis referral laboratory (NTRL) in NIDCH, Mohakhali, Dhaka from March 2012 to February 2013.We enrolled 50 newly diagnosed cases of MDR-TB patients from NTRL and 50 age matched healthycontrols from a selective community Sirajdikhan Upazilla, Munshiganj District. The two groups were compared based on various demographic factors, behavioral factors, factors related with personal illness history and also laboratory related factors. Serum zinc deficiency, changing trend of number of family members, presence of smoking history, absence of BCG scar and past history of contact TB were statistically significant risk factors for development of MDR-TB in logistic regression model. In our study, we found the mean (SD) serum zinc level in case group 60.40 (8.91) ?g/dL and 84.00 (13.62) ?g/dL in healthy controls which was significant statistically. The risk factors that we found, specially lower level of serum zinc, are the major concern for the development of MDR-TB and attempt to minimize them might contribute to control TB DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bmj.v43i1.21368 Bangladesh Med J. 2014 January; 43 (1): 3-8

Background: The prevalence of osteoporotic fracture, its sociodemographic associations, and its associated complications among Bangladeshi women are little known. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) defines osteoporosis as a skeletal disease characterized by decreased bone mass and a deterioration of the micro-architectural bones that causes reduced bone strength and an increased risk of fragility fractures of the hip, spine, and wrist. Objective: We determined the prevalence and risk factors according to fracture site and evaluated the associated risk factors in female patients with osteoporotic fractures. Methods: A cross‑sectional and community‑based study was conducted among the Bangladeshi females aged from 20‑65 years in Dhaka and Munshiganj. Between July 2020 and June 2021, we evaluated 50 patients who were diagnosed with hip (femoral neck or intertrochanteric), spine (vertebrae) or wrist (distal radius fractures) and who underwent surgery or conservative treatment. The assessment was conducted using questionnaire. Statistical analyses were conducted with SPSS for Windows statistical package, version 24.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of each hospital, which waived informed consent. Results: In this study 41.5% (17/41) had hip fractures, 35% (14/40) had spine fractures, and 29.6% (8/27) had distal radius fractures. Body mass index (BMI; P=0.036) and prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD; P=0.046) and rheumatoid arthritis (P=0.051) were significantly different between the groups. In multivariable analysis, BMI (odds ratio [OR], 0.76; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.55-1.05, P=0.098) and CKD (OR 2.51; 95% CI, 0.38-16.2; P=0.233) were associated with an increased risk of factors; however, this was not statistically significant. Conclusion: In patients with osteoporotic fractures, this study evaluated the prevalence according to the fracture area and found associated risk factors.

ObjectiveTo analyse the spatial clustering of COVID-19 case fatality risks in the districts of Bangladesh and to explore the association of sociodemographic indicators with these risks.Study designEcological study.Study settingSecondary data were collected for a total of 64 districts of Bangladesh.MethodsThe data for district-wise COVID-19 cases were collected from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Bangladesh from March 2020 to June 2020. Socioeconomic and demographic data were collected from National Census Data, 2011. Retrospective spatial analysis was conducted based on district-wise COVID-19 cases in Bangladesh. Global Moran’s I was adopted to find out the significance of the clusters. Furthermore, generalised linear model was conducted to find out the association of COVID-19 cases with sociodemographic variables.ResultsTotal 87 054 COVID-19 cases were included in this study. The epidemic hotspots were distributed in the 11 most populous cities. The most likely clusters are primarily situated in the central, south-eastern and north-western regions of the country. High-risk clusters were found in Dhaka (Relative Risk (RR): 5.22), Narayanganj (RR: 2.70), Chittagong (RR: 1.69), Munshiganj (RR: 2.31) Cox’s Bazar (RR: 1.63), Faridpur (RR: 1.65), Gazipur (RR: 1.33), Bogra (RR: 1.35), Khulna (RR: 1.22), Barishal (RR: 1.07) and Noakhali (RR: 1.06). Weekly progression of COVID-19 cases showed spatially clustered by Moran’s I statistics (p value ranging from 0.013 to 0.436). After fitting a Poisson linear model, we found a positive association of COVID-19 with floating population rate (RR=1.542, 95% CI 1.520 to 1.564), and urban population rate (RR=1.027, 95% CI 1.026 to 1.028).ConclusionThis study found the high-risk cluster areas in Bangladesh and analysed the basic epidemiological issues; further study is needed to find out the common risk behaviour of the patients and other relative issues that involve the spreading of this infectious disease.

The study was conducted in three districts viz., Sirajgonj, Gazipur and Satkhira during the mustard, litchi, and mangrove blooming period, respectively during 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 cropping seasons to study honey production efficiency of traditional hive and poly super hive. The study was carried out in paired plot design. Fourteen boxes were used in each setup, among them seven were traditional hive and seven were poly super hive. In Ullapara of Sirajganj district during 2015-16 poly super hive yielded the highest (17.03 kg hive-1season-1) honey. In 2016-17 (mustard) the highest honey was harvested from poly super hive operated at Tarash (18.63 kg hive-1season-1) and the lowest honey yielded in poly super hive at Shahjadpur. At Kapasia of Gazipur during 2015-2016 (litchi) the poly super hive produced the highest (20.46 kg hive-1season-1) honey yield cropping season and the lowest (20 kg hive-1season-1) was in Kaliganj (Gazipur district). On the other hand, during 2016-2017 it was observed that in poly super hive produced the highest (14.92 kg hive-1season-1) honey operated in Gazipur Sadar and the lowest (13.93 kg hive-1season-1) was in Kaliganj. In Satkhira during 2015-16 cropping season (mangrove) the poly super hive gave the highest (14.92 kg hive-1season-1) honey yield and it was obtained from Tala and the lowest (14.65 kg hive-1season-1) honey was yielded and it obtained in Kaliganj. Again during cropping season 2016-17 poly super hive produced the highest (12.5 kg hive-1season-1) honey and it was from Tala and the lowest (11.45 kg hive-1season-1) in Munshiganj. There was significantly less honey production was recorded in traditional bee hives than the poly super hive. During 2016-17 season honey production was higher than 2015-16 season at Sirajganj. However, opposite result was observed at Gazipur and Satkhira.

This paper describes the scenario of human-wildlife conflict along the edge of the Sundarbans mangrove forest in Satkhira, Bangladesh. In and around the Sundarbans mangrove forest human-wildlife conflict occurs in the category of crop and material damage, depredation of domestic animal, human laceration and human death. The animals that were mostly involved in human-wildlife conflict are tiger, crocodile, snake and monitor lizard. Due to humanwildlife conflict, a total of 172 people and 10 tigers died during the period 1990-2018. Among the total claimed human death, 97.6% (n=168) of victims were killed by tiger, 1.7% (n=3) by crocodile and 0.6% (n=1) by snake. On the other hand, among the killed tigers, the higher proportion (80%, n=8) was male and the lower proportion (20%, n=2) was female. Most of the victims (90%) were assaulted by tigers during hours of sunlight, mainly from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm (40%) and 7:00 am to 9:00 am (25%). The generation approaching middle age (age 45-59) were most commonly assaulted (33%), but the attack was also high in 30-44 age class (26%). The attacks on different professional classes comprise honey gatherers (60%), woodcutters (22%) and fishermen (18%). Tiger attacks mostly took place in Gabura (59%, n=98), Koikhali (21%, n=35), Ramjannagar (10%, n=18), Munshiganj (7%, n=11) and others places (3%, n=6). Rested on the evidence of killed (97.6%, n=168) and wounded (78%, n=247) humans by tigers, 60% of the killed people were partially consumed while 30 % were not consumed when the bodies of victims were recovered. Departed bodies were found to have been dragged a distance of 300-800 m inside the deep forest from the initial spot of attack. Human wildlife conflict hampers the animal conservation initiatives in the natural ecosystems and poses the most serious challenges to the persistence and survival of wildlife. Therefore, there is an urgent necessity to develop a conducive environment for all concerned stakeholders to rectify the situation, and to revive their capacities in the most productive and successful way.

Biodiversity in realism is a measure of the adherents of species that characterize a biological community and thought to be one of the extremely imperative aspects of community establishment and structure. The study regarding the fish biodiversity is very much needed as it is directly related to the fisheries resource structure and also contributes significantly towards resource richness. Therefore the present study was performed to evaluate the concurrent fish species composition, abundance and some major fish biodiversity indices of the River Dhaleshwari of Bangladesh. The study area was about 564.20 ha and 20 kilometers long along the main stream of the river Dhaleshwari. The starting point was the Tulshikhali bridge, Keranigonj and the end point was Balur char, Munshigonj. The geographical locations of the sampling stations were between 90̊ 17ʹ E to 90̊ 25ʹ E and 23º 40´ N to 23º 37´ N. The study was conducted between August’2015 and October’2016.The fish species diversity showed spatial variation among the sampling stations. The biodiversity appraisal validates Shannon index (0.122-0.634) with highest value in Balur char and lowest in Pathor ghata; Simpson’s index (0.325-0.893) with utmost valuation for the Pathor ghata and lowermost for Balur char; Pielou’s evenness index (0.117-0.588) with maximum value for the Balur char and least for Pathor ghata; Margaleff index (4.793-7.438) with uppermost value for the Balur char and minimum in Tulshikhali; topmost abundance of fish was recorded from Tulshikhali and least for Balur char and maximum number of unique species was recorded for Tulshikhali and minimum from Balur char. Moreover, the current study correspondingly has ascertained the pragmatism and efficacy of biodiversity assessment to scrutinize and epitomize fisheries resources for better management of the river Dhaleshwari. Effective management approach should be applied for precisely maintaining the fish habitat health and ecological condition intact before it’s too late.
