Water quality tests and behavioral factors of child diarrhoea in Dhaka slums Alam, Mohammad Jahangir Diarrhoeal disease is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in less developed countries, especially among children aged 0-5 years. It is a symptom of infection caused by a host of bacterial, viral and parasitic organisms most of which can be spread by contaminated water. Diarrhoea prevalence rate for the children in Dhaka slums is 214.29. The total costs of children's diarrhoea (adding all the direct and indirect) in Dhaka slums is Tk. 133.88 over a 15 day time interval. The water quality is measured at the point-of-use and the point-of-source by the total coliform, faecal coliform, and faecal streptococci tests per 100 ml water. The total coliform, faecal coliform, and faecal streptococci are at the point-of-source 651, 450, and 71 and at the point-of-use 919, 636, and 80 respectively. The test values at the point-of-use are greater than that at the point of- source due to drinking water contaminated by behavioral activities. Due to the almost perfect correlation between the total coliform, faecal coliform, faecal streptococci tests, we need to drop the values from these two tests (total coliform and faecal streptococci) in the econometric analysis. We will use the faecal coliform test, as it is the test most commonly referred to in the existing literature

Use of MM5 model for weather forecasting over Bangladesh region Akter, Nasreen; Islam, Md. Nazrul The severity of weather appears almost every year in Bangladesh. It causes damage of property and takes a very high death toll due to absence of timely and proper forecasting facility. Thus the focus of this paper is to demonstrate the usefulness of weather model for forecasting and estimating convective system. A high resolution mesoscale model MM5 has been used in this regard to observe the accurate rainfall estimation over Bangladesh. The model is run at two nested domains at 45 km and 15 km resolutions for two durations i.e. 31 March to 05 April 2002 and 20 to 25 May 2002. In both the cases, results indicate that the MM5 model has a good capability to estimate rainfall over Bangladesh

Tribal people and their socio-economic characteristics in Rangamati sadar thana Mullah, Muhammad Abu Shadeque; Parveen, Nabila; Ahshanullah, Mohammad Bangladesh is a densely populated country of South East Asia that has a rich tribal presence. There are about 58 tribes living in different parts of the country. Bangladesh has 1.2 million tribal people, which is just above 1 percent of the total population. Whatever the population they differ in their social organizations, marital customs, rites and rituals, food and other customs from the people of the rest of the country. Most of the tribal people speak in Tibeto-Burman tongues. This paper presents a brief description of the socio-economic characteristics of the Tribal people of Rangamati Sadar Thana on the basis of data collected through a field survey. The survey covered a random sample of 200 households. This paper reveals that the tribal people are lagging behind the mainstream population with respect to economical, political, social and technological standings and still going on with outmoded lifestyle and ideology.

The business graduate employability in Bangladesh: dilemma and expected skills by corporate world Chisty, Kazi Khaled Shams; Uddin, Gazi Munir; Ghosh, Suntu Kumar Unemployment scenario of the graduate level in Bangladesh has been a serious problem. Lately, graduates are more prone to acquire business education, which is more transferable to the job. Despite that, the business graduates are frustrated with the burden of education, as there are concurrent occurrences of joblessness. However, the prevalent dilemma of employability appears, as there are imbalances due to expected skills/qualifications by the ultimate employers. Analysis of this study tries to indicate this phenomenon by focusing of the skills/qualification (apart from degree, certificate, and diploma) that are considered as important for graduates' employability by the corporate bodies of Bangladesh. Continuous persuasion of immaculate academic results by the business graduates have been identified as less important, whereas more emphasis have been imparted on exposure to the corporate culture and analytical competence. Failure to meet those expected skills would aggravate the situations for graduates' employability.
