This paper is based on the results of a conducted study to investigate the level of self-esteem and social responsibility of the students of Bangladesh by the types of university, gender and family pattern. The sample of the study consists of 120 students where 60 students are from a public university and the remaining 60 students from a private university. In both cases, the 60 students are drawn as 30 male and 30 female. Of these two genders, 15 are from nuclear families and the other 15 from joint families. Therefore, there are total four levels of the public and private university students. The data are collected through questionnaires and analyzed by the analysis of variance. Results have revealed that self-esteem and social responsibility are significantly different according to the types of family pattern and gender while self-esteem differs by the types of university but social responsibility does not.

The purpose of this study is to investigate a comprehensive multidimensional model of the gastronomic and accommodation experiences of domestic tourists, their links to satisfaction, trust, revisit, and word-of-mouth (WOM) intention in Bangladesh. Moreover, the present research examines the mediating impacts of tourists' satisfaction and trust by applying the stimulus-organism-response framework as its theoretical ground. An online survey was conducted to collect usable 365 cross-sectional data and is analyzed by structural equation modeling (SEM). Results confirm that gastronomic experience quality and accommodation experiences, accompanied by several sub-dimensions, have a significant impact on tourists' satisfaction, trust, and promote repeat visits and WOM intentions. Our results evidenced that satisfaction and trust play important mediating roles, although trust has a few exceptions. This study suggests that industry managers should adopt content marketing strategies and policies that consider various sub dimensions of the gastronomic and accommodation experiences to provide valuable and relevant experiences for psychometric perceptions of tourists, which in turn allows the tourism business to achieve long-term goals and ensuring sustainability in this sector. Tourists' perceptions of the quality of their gastronomic and accommodation experiences are offered as a tool for strategic experience design, and a model that explains their interactions with accommodation and gastronomy providers is provided.
This paper is concerned with the mathematical study of the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element method for the parabolic differential equation. The DG method is a vital numerical method with much mass compensation and more flexible meshing than other methods. In this study, we give a general introduction and discuss about the discontinuous Galerkin Method of first order parabolic problem. The parabolic problem satisfies the condition of the existence and uniqueness of DG solution. The error analysis of this problem is also established. The main goal of this study is to theoretically explore the convergence of the solution of the above methods and show the validity of the results.
