Abdul Health and nutrition is one of the important components of human resource development. The relationship between health-nutrition and human resource development is reciprocal and takes a cyclical fashion.

Abdus; Sultana, Shahida The more the development of the market economy, the more the significance of management accounting. To keep pace with this increasing market economy, it becomes imperative for the organizations to adopt new management accounting tools and techniques. It is also important for the Bangladeshi organizations. This paper seeks to obtain an overview of the management accounting practices in the listed manufacturing companies of Bangladesh. Data has been gathered by a questionnaire survey from eight manufacturing sectors. The analysis has revealed that though there is difference in extent of practices among the sectors, all sectors fail to practice some newly developed techniques. If this trend continues, Bangladeshi organizations will lag behind in the race of global competitiveness and comparative advantages. It is therefore, some policy recommendation has been made to improve and fasten the management accounting practices.

Cities are now grappling with the problems of high volumes of waste, the cost involved, the disposal technology and the impact of wastes on the local and government environment. Therefore, at this moment it is very much needed to make a proper plan for waste management and disposal system it has also been observed that waste can be another source for earning money. So, keeping this objective in mind, this study attempts to develop a proposed marketing model for waste management system in Dhaka city. It can also be considered as a preventive waste management approach, which is focused on changes in lifestyles and in production and consumption patterns. This article also tries to find out the commercial value of waste. Last but not least it is a proposal rather than a conclusive study. It needs a more pragmatic test for its reliability study Sun, 01 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://hdl.handle.net/10361/579 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10361/575 Life writing: Straddling fact and fiction Zaman, Tabassum Traditionally any autobiographic writing is expected to document past in retrospect just like history. But memoirs like Michael Ondaatje’s Running in the Family and Sheila Ortiz Taylor and Sandra Ortiz Taylor’s Imaginary Parents go against this traditional expectation both in form and content and while doing so they question the traditional idea of autobiographic writing as well as history. Through the atypical way they search for truth these memoirs have made us re consider the traditional expectation from this genre. While reconstructing the respective family history these two books deconstruct the general understanding of documented history as a centripetal, teleological narrative, something that projects absolute, objective reality.
