Knowledge and practices of mothers on childhood diarrhoea and its management attended at a tertiary hospital in bangladesh.

PubMed (2015)

Muhammad Akhtaruzzaman Md. Alamgir Hossain Reem Khan Mohoshina Karim Ahmed Murtaza Choudhury

This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted in Pediatric out Patient Department (OPD) of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH) from March 2014 to August 2014 to assess the knowledge and practices of the mothers in acute diarrhoeal diseases in children under-five years of age regarding use of oral rehydration solution (ORS), zinc, other drugs and feeding practices. Four hundred children under-five years of age having acute diarrhoea were included in the study by systematic random sampling. A structured, pretested, interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from mothers of children having diarrhoeal diseases. ORS was offered by 360(90.00%) of the mothers. Out of which 279(77.50%) used it by their own knowledge. One hundred and ninety-one (53.06%) mothers prepared it correctly, while 169(46.94%) prepared it incorrectly. Of 169, 129(35.83%) mothers used less amount of water, while 40(11.11%) mothers used much amount of water to prepare ORS. Of 360 mothers, 89(24.72%) mixed part of the content of ORS sachet at a time. Of 360 mothers, only 55(15.28%) offered correct amount of ORS after each purging. Zinc was offered in 142(35.50%) children. Of 400, only 13(3.25%) mothers used recommended home-based fluid, while 70(17.50%) mothers offered increased amount of fluid to their child. Drugs other than zinc and ORS were used in 247(61.75%) children. Among drugs, other than zinc and ORS, antibiotics was used in 109(44.13%) cases, whereas antiprotozoal in 97(39.27%) cases. Amount of liquid given was more than usual in 70(17.50%) children, same as usual in 57(14.25%) children and less than usual in 273(68.25%) children. Amount of food given was same as usual in 59(14.75%) children, while less than usual in 341(85.25%) children. Control of diarrhoeal diseases programme is successful in introducing ORS at mass level. Great emphasis is needed to educate mothers about preparation and quantity of ORS to be given to children with diarrhoeal diseases.

A numerical study of penetrative turbulence in convectiveboundary layers

Md. Alamgir Hossain

A weighted residual collocation method is investigated to study penetrative turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). In designing such a numerical model for the ABL, one needs to minimize or avoid artificial energy dissipation at the resolved scale, and parameterize the effect of unresolved turbulent mixing to account for the subgrid scale energy dissipation. In this research, the standard mesoscale filtering of conservation laws (mass, momentum, and energy) has been adopted based on the assumption that the characteristic scale of circulation is much less than the density scale hight of the atmosphere. Such mesoscale equations have been filtered with a Deslauriers-Dubuc (DD) interpolating wavelet system along with a Smagorinsky type eddy viscosity model. The time integration is performed by projecting the solution onto a Krylov subspace, and by solving the system with the GMRES (generalized minimal residual) algorithm. The numerical model is verified with the analytical solution of two-dimensional advection-diffusion phenomena, and with two benchmark simulations such as dry thermal rising in the neutrally stratified environment and stationary solutions of urban heat island circulation. The generation of internal waves by a turbulent buoyant element impinging upon the interface between the boundary layer and free atmosphere is characterized. Finally, penetrative turbulence due to differentially heated earth’s surface is investigated for a wide range of surface heat flux variations, 25 ≤ H0 ≤ 930 W m⁻². Results indicate that the downscale energy cascade is associated with the onset of temporal oscillations in mesoscale circulation, although a fraction of kinetic energy is transferred by internal waves.

Development and Field Evaluation of Near-Isogenic Lines of GR2-EBRRI dhan29 Golden Rice

Frontiers in Plant Science (2021)

P. Biswas B. P. Mallikarjuna Swamy Md. Abdul Kader Md. Alamgir Hossain Raul Boncodin

Vitamin A deficiency remains a common public health problem among the rice-dependent poor people in the developing countries of Asia. Conventional milled rice does not contain provitamin A (β-carotene) in is edible part (endosperm) and is also deficient in essential minerals, such as iron and zinc. Transgenic Golden Rice event GR2E, which produces β-carotene in its endosperm, was used as a parent to introgress the transgene locus conferring β-carotene biosynthesis into a widely grown rice variety, BRRI dhan29, which covers around 26.1% of the irrigated rice area (4.901 Mha) of Bangladesh in the dry season. The current study reports the introgression process and field performance of GR2E BRRI dhan29 Golden Rice. The background recovery of GR2E BRRI dhan29 lines at BC 5 F 2 generation was more than 98% with a 6K SNP-chip set. The transgenic GR2E BRRI dhan29 yielded 6.2 t/ha to 7.7 t/ha with an average of 7.0 ± 0.38 t/ha, while the non-transgenic BRRI dhan29 yielded 7.0 t/ha under confined field conditions in Bangladesh. Moreover, no significant difference between GR2-E BRRI dhan29 Golden Rice and non-transgenic BRRI dhan29 in any measured trait was observed in the multi-location trials conducted at five locations across the country. Furthermore, the appearance of cooked and uncooked rice was similar to that of BRRI dhan29 except for the yellow color indicating the presence of carotenoids. Total carotenoid content in the selected introgression lines ranged from 8.5 to 12.5 μg/g with an average of 10.6 ± 1.16 μg/g. This amount is sufficient to deliver approximately 66 and 80% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin A for children and women, respectively, assuming complete substitution of white rice in the diet with Golden Rice. However, the lead selected line(s) need further evaluation at open field conditions before deciding for commercial cultivation. A large-scale feeding trial among the malnourished community with this newly developed GR2-E BRRI dhan29 Golden Rice is also required to validate its efficacy in alleviating vitamin A deficiency.

Impact of Rural Credit on Household Welfare: Evidence from a Long-Term Panel in Bangladesh

RePEc: Research Papers in Economics (2021)

Md. Alamgir Hossain Abdul Malek Mohammad Zhengfei Yu

Access to rural credit has long been considered a potential solution to ease liquidity constraints and improve household welfare in Bangladesh.Earlier studies on rural credit mostly focused on the impact of microfinance; however, the available results could not provide conclusive findings and failed to suggest how different sources of credit, namely, banks, microfinance institutes, and informal channels affect household welfare in the long term. This study aims to evaluate the long-term impact of different rural credit sources on household welfare indicators. To generate evidence, we use five-round (1988, 2000, 2004, 2008, and 2014) panel datasets of a nationally representative sample survey. We use a household-level panel fixed-effect model to estimate the impact on different outcome indicators. The results suggest that access to rural credit from any source has no significant impact on the increase in the household economic welfare in the long term. However, in the short term, access to bank credit increases the access to rented-in land, improves rice yield, and enhances girls' school enrollment among rural households. The impact estimates are found to be consistent across different model specifications, implying the robust internal validity of the study results. Key words: Long-term impact, panel data, rural credit sources, rural households, economic welfare, Bangladesh.

Green accounting and reporting in Bangladesh’s pharmaceutical and textile industries: A holistic perspective

PLoS ONE (2024)

Mohammad Mizenur Rahaman Shamima Akter Md. Alamgir Hossain Adiba Rahman Bushra Chowdhury Renhong Wu

This study examined the factors influencing green accounting and reporting practices (GARPs) in Bangladesh’s pharmaceutical and textile industries. Hence, it draws upon disclosure theory to disclose relevant information in the context of environmental accounting and encourages them to boost their environmental performance. It utilized content analysis from 13 pharmaceuticals and 22 textiles data from Dhaka stock exchange (DSE) listed companies of Bangladesh and applied quantitative methods for comparative analysis. The findings showed that GARPs are influenced by firm characteristics and external factors rather than organizational performance, and eleven environmental indicators (separately) have a lower mean of less than 0.50 in both industries. Firms’ general characteristics (FFGC) are noteworthy factors that exhibit a negative coefficient for both the pharmaceutical and textile sectors but hold a robust impact on the GARPs, with P = 0.007 and 0.003, respectively. The statistical significance of environmental factors (EFs) applies to the textile sector p = 0.000. Implementing GARPs in the pharmaceutical industry proved more effective than in the textile sector, offering valuable support to managers in expediting environmental practices in Bangladesh’s textile industry.

Appropriate Conservation Machinery for Mungbean Cultivation in the Southern Region of Bangladesh

Journal of precision agriculture. (2018)

Md. Alamgir Hossain M.A. Mottalib Md. Israil Hossain Md. Nurul Amin M. M. Alam

The study was conducted at Mundopasha, Wazirpur, Barisal during Rabi season of 2017 for testing, adoption and popularization of different conservation machinery (CA) such as zero till planter (ZT), strip till planter (ST), bed planter (BP) and power tiller operated seeder (PTOS) along with conventional tilling and of sowing method for planting of mungbean (BARI Mung-6). The soil type was loamy-sand with bulk density 1.41 g/cc. The effective field capacities of ZT, ST, BP, PTOS and power tiller were found to be 0.104, 0.109, 0.084, 0.109, and 0.074 ha/h, respectively. The field efficiency of ZT, ST, BP, PTOS and power tiller were estimated as 74.68, 76.47, 75.84, 78.16 and 71.52%, respectively. Significantly the highest mungbean grain yields were found from ZT and ST planted plots than those of other plots. Significantly the lowest grain yield was obtained from conventional tillage and broadcasting method. The highest benefit cost ratio (BCR) was obtained from ST planted (2.60) and zero till planted (2.40) mungbean followed by PTOS (2.20), conventional tillage cum broadcasting (1.88) and bed planting (1.82) methods. The lowest BCR was found from traditional tillage and manual line sowing method (1.61) of mungbean. CA planting system saved about 50% planting cost and reduced about 76% carbon dioxide emission. Based on the fuel consumption, grain yield and BCR, ZT planter and the strip till planter may be recommended in Barisal region for cultivation of mungbean.
