Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) is the most important pathogenic Mycoplasma spp. causing avian mycoplasmosis and brought about huge economic losses to poultry industry in Bangladesh. The present study was undertaken to know the seroprevalence of MG in layer birds in three different geographical areas of southern Barishal division, Bangladesh. Total 310 sera samples were collected from wing vein of 30 farms for this study. Sera samples were tested with Rapid Serum Agglutination (RSA) for MG using commercial Antigen Kit (manufactured by Lillidale Diagnostic) to detect the presence of antibodies against MG. The overall seroprevalence of MG by RSA was 36.13%. Seroprevalence of MG infection was dominant in winter season (45.54%) and significantly highest occurrence was recorded in age groups from 20-40 weeks of layer chickens (51.79%). Serological investigation in three different upazila of Barishal division showed the highest infection rate (45.26%) in medium scale flocks (1000-3000) in comparison to (21.43%) small (<1000) flocks. The seroprevalence of MG was highest in Swarupkathi (44.38%) than in Barishal Sadar (26%) and Banaripara upazila (28%). Biosecurity and managemental failure is the overall risk factor in all types of farm due to lack of proper knowledge among farmer. This study reveals the current scenario of mycoplasmosis in layer birds of three different areas of Barishal division. Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. 2021, 7 (3), 292-297

Full textAbstract:
Leaf blight of caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae is a severe disease of litchi saplings, which is considered as a threat for raising healthy sapling of the fruit in Bangladesh. A survey was conducted to find out incidence and severity of the disease in five regions of Bangladesh namely Rajshahi, Dinajpur, Mymensingh, Barishal and Khagrachari. The highest disease incidence was recorded in Dinajpur and Kagrachari regions and the lowest in Mymensingh region. On the other hand, the highest disease severity was found in Dinajpur and Kagrachari regions and the lowest in Mymensingh region. Another experiment was conducted to determine genetic diversity of the causal bacterium following molecular study. Twenty five diseased samples of bacterial leaf blight of litchi were collected from 25 locations in five regions and one isolate of P. syringae pv. syringae was isolated from each sample. The values of pair-wise comparisons of Neis (1972) genetic distance among5 different locations of P. syringae pv. syringae were computed. From the UPGMA dendrogram drawn on the basis of Neis (1972) genetic distances and comparatively the highest genetic distance (0.9163) was observed in Khajrachari vs Barishal, Mymensingh vs Barishal and Rajshahi vs Mymensingh but Dinajpur was close to the Barishal with the least genetic distance (0.3567). Thus, the results indicate that remarkable genetic diversity exists among the isolates of P. syringae pv. syringae from different origins Bangladesh.

Full textAbstract:
The study was concerned with the chemical composition of two varieties hog-plum Pulp collected from Mymensingh and Barishal and developed jelly and leather. Cabinet dryer, model OV-165 (Gallen Kamp Company) was used for dehydration of two types of hog-plum pulp and leather. The fresh and dried hog-plum and hog-plum products were analyzed for their moisture, ash, vitamin-C, pH, total soluble solids and sucrose contents. The moisture content, ash, vitamin C, pH, total soluble solid (TS), reducing sugar and non-reducing sugar of Barishal hog-plums was 83.84% (wb), 0.81% , 33.00 mg/100g, 2.62, 8.5%, 5.02% and 1.6% respectively; Mymensingh hog-plums was 86.69% (wb), 0.78%, 30.90 mg/100g, 2.7, 6.5%, 4.7% and 1.3% respectively. The chemical composition of Mymensingh and Braishal hog-plum showed that Barishal hog-plum contained higher solid content, ash, Vitamin C than Mymensingh hog-plum. It was found that Barishal hog-plum had higher flesh (67.59%) than Mymensingh hog-plum (62.60%). The chemical composition of hog-plum leather was analyzed for moisture, Ash, Vitamin C, TS, Titrable acidity, total sugar and protein content. The ash and sugar content of developed leathers from Barishal and Mymensingh hog-plum was very similar but the vitamin C content for developed products was very low. It was also found developed products contained higher amount and sugar and protein. It was found that the chemical compositions of developed jelly were more or less similar to the fresh hog-plum; only the vitamin C was decreased significantly. These studies indicate that, developed products viz. lather and jelly would contain significantly higher amount of nutrients and energy then the fresh fruits. Organoleptic taste testing using 1-9 hedonic scale showed that jelly made from mechanically dried Mymensingh hog-plum was the most acceptable product and was ranked as like very much. Leather made from Mymensingh hog-plum (pulp+4.5% sugar+ 0.15% KMS) was the best among other samples and was ranked as like very much.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v5i2.14598 J. Environ.

Full textAbstract:
Climate change is one of the world's major issues and its impact particularly on migration is attracting increased attention for policymakers and experts. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of climate change on human migration and to highlight the number of migrants in Bangladesh's coastal areas. The research was carried out in the Barishal division's Barguna, Barishal, Bhola, Jhalokati, Patuakhali, Pirojpur, and Khulna division's Khulna, Bagerhat, and Satkhira districts using focus group discussion (FGD), key informant’s interview (KII) and secondary data sources. The research findings are based on both primary data and secondary data gathered from various sources, which were conducted in nine coastal districts of Bangladesh from mid-February to mid-March 2020. This paper contains mapping by analyzing secondary information using ArcGIS 10 software of Geographic Information System technology. The study revealed the scenario of human migration and displacement in nine southwest districts due to different natural calamities like cyclones, riverbank erosion, floods, storm surges, and salinity intrusion. From household survey it was found that coastal erosion influenced about 74.73% people and floods forced only 3.51% of people to migrate. From 2014 to 2020, the highest and lowest disaster induced migrants have been found in 2017 and 2020. In addition, from 2014 to 2020, maximum and minimum migrants were in Barishal, and Jhalokati, separately in a row. In 2020, maximal and minimal number of migrants have been noted in Patuakhali and Satkhira with 38715 and 1900 migrants, respectively with the maximum disaster-induced migration in Barishal division. This research would be a great source of information for future investigations concerning human migration and displacement across the coastal districts of Bangladesh.

Full textAbstract:
Incidence of insect pests and their associated natural enemies was investigated from July 2017- June 2018 at six locations (Gazipur, Rajshahi, Barishal, Sonagazi, Rangpur, Cumilla) of Bangladesh to identify their major occurrence period as well as their incidence in three rice growing seasons, (Aus, T. Aman, and Boro). Among the tested locations, marked differences were found in the composition of insect pest and natural enemies. Higher number of pest population was found at Gazipur with 80,000 individuals for insect pest and 40,000 individuals for natural enemies. At least one peak for major insect pest and natural enemies suggested their specific occurrence period across the locations. Among the insect pests, major peak of GLH was found at Gazipur and Rajshahi during T. Aman season with 4,000 individuals for each location. In contrast, BPH population was as high as 10,000 individuals for Gazipur in October during T. Aman season. Additionally, it was high at Rajshahi in October and November with around 2,000 individuals of BPH. For WBPH, one major peak was found in October at Gazipur and Rajshahi with 10,000 and 2,000 individuals respectively. For YSB, it was higher at Rajshahi in October with over 6,000 individuals during T. Aman season. Moreover, one major peak also observed in Barishal with over 2,000 individuals in November. Among natural enemies, CDB population was observed mainly at three locations in between October and November with 900 individuals for Gazipur, 400 individuals for Rajshahi and 200 individuals for Barishal during T. Aman season. In contrast, for STPD population, two major peaks were found in Barishal with 6,000 and 5,000 individuals in December and March respectively during Boro season. For GMB population, it was observed at Gazipur in November with more than 20,000 individuals during T. Aman season whereas Rajshahi had around 2,000 individuals in the same month. However, higher incidence of GLH, BPH, and WBPH at Gazipur and Rajshahi suggested availability of insect pests during T. Aman season. In contrast, higher YSB incidence at Barishal and Rajshahi indicated their abundance in those areas. On the other hand, incidence of natural enemies at Gazipur indicated presence of greater biological control compared with other locations. In future, this information could serve as a reliable source in strengthening rice pest monitoring services as well as effective pest control in Bangladesh.

Full textAbstract:
The field evaluation of betel nut germplasm was conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Rahmatpur, Barishal all the year round during three consecutive years of 2019-22 to select suitable entry (ies) for releasing as new variety (ies) for Barishal region. Seven entries of betel nut viz., E1 (AC Rah-01), E2 (AC Rah-02), E3 (AC Rah-03), E4 (AC Rah-04), E5 (AC Rah-05), E6 (AC Rah-06) and E7 (AC Rah-07) were used as testing materials. The germplasm had been collected from different regions of Bangladesh since 1973. Three years average results showed that significant variations were observed among the evaluated betel nut germplasm. The maximum fresh and dry nut yield with husk (34.48 and 12.07 t/ha, respectively) was obtained from AC Rah-02 that was identical to AC Rah-01 (28.24 and 10.57 t/ha, respectively). Results revealed that the three years average yield performances of AC Rah-02 and AC Rah-01 were higher compared to that of other tested entries. Maturing condition of AC Rah-01 was late but early maturity was observed in AC Rah-02 and other tested entries. Nut shapes of AC Rah-01 and AC Rah-02 were oblong and oval, respectively. The laboratory analyses results revealed that alkaloids that caused oral cancer was less (3.95 mg/g) and the Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power that cures the disease was higher (10.20 mgAAE/g) in AC Rah-01. The amount of total alkaloids (1.35%) and Arecoline content (4.69 mg/g) that cause cancer in the mouth were lower in AC Rah-02. Considering yield potentiality, maturity condition (late and early), lower incidences of insect-pest and diseases, and biochemical properties (higher Antioxidant power and lower contents of Alkaloids or Arecoline), AC Rah-01 and AC Rah-02 have been selected as promising entries of betel nut towards releasing new varieties for Barishal region of Bangladesh.

Barishal has recently gone through intense land use and land cover changes (LULC). This study aims to assess the changes of land use of Barishal, which were surveyed from 2000 to 2020 by utilizing Landsat TM, ETM + & OLI-TIRS imageries. The ArcGIS-10.4 & the ERDAS-14 Imagine software were used to deal with satellite images and surveyed measurable data for land cover change evaluation of the study area. Both pre- and post-classification change detection scenarios and NDVI analysis were observed to assess the change result from 2000 to 2020. Maximum likelihood classification was utilized to create unsupervised land cover category (water body, urban, fallow, agriculture, vegetation and lowland). After ensuring acceptable value for each classified image (82.16% for 2020, 76.15% for 2010 & 70.96% for 2000 with Kappa values of 0.64, 0.62 & 0.62 for 2020, 2010 and 2000), a change detection study was performed. This study discovered that the highest growth 69.22% of urban area has been improved within 20 years followed by 49.75% and 21.74% of water bodies, fallow lands; whereas the annual change rate was 14.95%, 7.91% and 10.31% respectively. In contrast, 16.28%, 10.48% and 37.20% of vegetation, agriculture and lowland had been reduced and an (-) annual change rate of 16.03%, 7.15% and 9.99% respectively. In addition, NDVI analysis was also observed a decreasing trend of the vegetation and agricultural lands. The results of this assessment could be supportive to design and appliance significant managing appraisals to protect the agricultural degradation, fruitless urbanization of Barishal district.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Despite city authorities in Bangladesh being concerned about urban sustainability, they often face difficulties in addressing predominant urban challenges threatening urban sustainability, due to limited relevant literature. To reduce this gap, this study aims to address the predominant urban challenges and assess their severity levels in four city corporations of Bangladesh, e.g. Rajshahi, Sylhet, Barishal, and Gazipur. Design/methodology/approach Using a mixed-method approach, this study rigorously analyzed field-level data obtained from 1,200 residents across selected cities using diverse statistical techniques. The quantitative analysis included descriptive analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and chi-square tests, whereas qualitative insights were derived through thematic analysis. Findings The study uncovered nine predominant urban challenges under two crucial factors “Feeble Urban Management” and “Illicit Activities” that collectively explain 62.20% variance. “Feeble Urban Management” explains 44.17% variance, whereas “Illicit Activities” accounts for 18.13%. Within these challenges, uncontrolled urban sprawl, inadequate disaster management, congested roads, and shabby drainage and waste management pose significant threats to urban sustainability. Illicit activities, manifested by encroachment on water sources, grabbing roadside, destruction of natural properties, and activities undermining social security, compound the urban sustainability issue. Severity analysis reveals Sylhet (54.5%), Rajshahi (46.4%), and Barishal (31.2%) as highly impacted, whereas Gazipur exhibits moderate severity (66.7%). Originality/value The findings of this study reveal intrinsic insights into urban challenges in Bangladesh that will provide valuable guidance to city authorities, equipping them to implement integrated and effective initiatives and programs that overcome these predominant urban challenges, with a specific focus on Rajshahi, Sylhet, and Barishal city corporations.

Full textAbstract:
The present research work reveals the mean annual rainfall of Barishal is 2087.34 mm for the investigated period. The maximum annual rainfall was 3390 mm in the year of 1960 and minimum annual rainfall was recorded as 1277 mm in the year of 1964. The annual rainfall is inversely correlated with time. The maximum monthly rainfall is recorded in the month of July. The amount of annual rainfall is strongly significantly positively correlated with the monthly rainfall of May, June, July, August and September. In Barishal, the value of skewness for all rainfall data are positive that indicate the data are skewed to the right. The positive value of kurtosis of the eleven months of the year (except July) means a peaked distribution and a negative value in the month of July reveals the flat distribution with the same mean and standard deviation. The annual PCI value is inversely proportional to the annual rainfall. The analyses of seasonal precipitation concentration index (SPCI) reveals that the rainfall is uniformly distributed in summer monsoon whereas the winter rainfall shows the dominance of strong irregularity in precipitation distribution.

Full textAbstract:
Research has shown in writing English, Foreign Language (EFL) learners experience a considerable amount of anxiety which negatively influences their achievement and performances in language classrooms. In Bangladesh, learners’ foreign language anxiety is one of the main reasons behind learners’ failure in learning English but research on Bangladeshi learners’ writing specific anxiety is scant. Besides, no study has been done yet to find out the effectiveness of blogging in reducing the writing anxiety of the EFL learners of Bangladesh. So, this study aims to assess the writing anxiety of the undergraduates of the English department of Barishal University, Bangladesh, investigate the sources which trigger anxiety, and explore the effect of blogging in reducing their writing anxiety. This study was completed employing a mix-method research design and data revealed that EFL undergraduates of Barishal University suffered from moderately low to moderately high level of writing anxiety caused mainly for their lack of practice, lack of knowledge regarding different genres of writing, limited vocabulary stock, writing under time constraints, and fear of negative evaluation. Findings also showed that participants of this have a highly positive attitude towards blogging for reducing their writing anxiety in English.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent protectionary lockdowns have had a dramatic impact on agricultural production globally. Barishal division is the ‘grain-basket’ of Bangladesh and a main rice cultivation centre within the country. This study captures perspectives on the environmental socioeconomic stressors impacting primary production in the coastal region of Barishal, and the impact of the first wave of the global pandemic. In our methodology, a cross-sectional survey is carried out amongst agriculture officers and farmers focusing on land management practices, environmental stressors, and the consequences of the pandemic on winter crop harvests and wet season production. A total number of 234 people participated, of which 31 were agriculture officers and 203 were farmers. Government officers completed an online questionnaire, while farmer responses were collected through Focus Group Discussion. The results show that despite the lockdown, 76% of responders claimed that they had harvested more than 80% of the cultivated winter rice. Other crops, such as fruits and vegetables, were less successfully returned. Despite food production pressures, land capacity was not fully utilised, with a significant/notable proportion of fields left fallow, principally due to periodic flooding events that sufferer concurrently from soil organic matter depletion. Upazila, not severely waterlogged, had salinity problems to contend with. While transportation restrictions and labour shortages were key constraints arising from the impact of COVID-19 on both agricultural production and post harvesting (processing, distribution, and utilisation). Current storage facilities for perishable produce, such as fruit, were found to be lacking, which further compounded access to such food items. The COVID-19 pandemic shocked agricultural productivity and food supply within the Barishal division. However, despite managing to return a successful rice harvest during the lockdown, it was found that the pre-existing environmental stressors arising from cyclones and flooding continued to be the primary threat to agriculture, even during a global pandemic. Our findings have been used to inform management options to increase resilience in the region.

Full textAbstract:
Lumpy skin disease is explained as a significant cattle disease affecting cattle of many parts of the world. An outbreak was experienced in different parts of Bangladesh including Barishal for the first time in the last quarter of 2019. This investigation was carried out to know the outbreak scenario of the disease in southern part of Bangladesh. A total of 726 cattle were included in this study covering 50 dairy farms of Barishal region from September 2019 to December 2019. Morbidity rate was found 21% (CI: 18-24%) and mortality was 1% (CI: 1-2%) in the outbreak area. Young animals (24%) and pregnant animals (70%) were significantly more susceptible compared to aged animals (17%) and non-pregnant animals (15%), respectively. Moreover, male and crossbred cattle were slightly more prone to the infection in comparison to their counterparts. About 45% of the affected animals showed nodular and remaining 55% had edematous lesions. Almost 90% of the affected animals were treated with NSAID followed by antibiotics, antihistaminic, steroid drugs and antiviral drugs where only 20% of the affected animals were treated by authorized veterinary personnel. This was the first epidemiological investigation in the mentioned outbreak area which may serve as a baseline for LSD research in the location needed for developing effective control strategy.

Full textAbstract:
Limited access to health care and the lack of robust data systems means non-fatal drownings are largely missed in low-and middle-income countries. We report morbidity among individuals who experienced non-fatal drowning in the Barishal Division, Bangladesh. A representative household survey was conducted in the Barishal Division in southern Bangladesh between September 2016 and February 2017, covering a population of 386,016. The burden of non-fatal drowning was assessed using the WHODAS 2.0 disability assessment tool, a generic assessment instrument for health and disability. A total of 5164 non-fatal drowning events occurred in the one year preceding the survey. Among these 18% were multiple events. From these, 4235 people were administered the WHODAS 2.0 questionnaire. Non-fatal drowning incidence rates were highest in children aged 1–4 years at 5810 per 100,000 population, and among males. Non-fatal drowning was associated with lower socio-economic status and larger family sizes. Few respondents (6.5%; 95% CI: 4.5–8.4%) reported some level of disability (WHODAS-12 score > 8). Incidence of non-fatal drowning is high in the population, however limited impact on morbidity was found. There is a need to develop tools and methodologies for reliable and comparable data for non-fatal drowning, especially to capture post-event disability in children.

Technological developments have created many innovations that help make human life more manageable. One of these developments is the Bariska Robot presented at the Family Mart Grand Indonesia Store, Jakarta. Even though its existence is welcomed, quite a few feel that it is a threat to humans because it is considered that it can replace the role of the Barista. The presence of robot baristas cannot replace the baristas themselves. Baristas have values that apparently cannot be imitated by robots. In this research, the author used the library research method to collect information according to the needs of this research. As well as using Thomas S. Kuhn's ideas to examine the role of paradigms in the scientific revolution. Which is the basis of the technological changes that occur.

Full textAbstract:
The study was conducted to analyze the amount of residue of six commonly used pesticides (e.g. chlorpyriphos, quinalphos, diazinon, acephate, dimethoate and fenitrothion) in vegetables viz., hyacinth bean and eggplant samples collected from local market of nine different locations viz. Cumilla, Bogura, Rangpur, Rajshahi, Khagrachari, Cox’s bazaar, Barishal, Jamalpur and Dhaka for the comparison between the detected residue level with maximum residue limit (MRL) set by European Union. Among 36 analyzed samples of hyacinth bean six samples (16.67%) were contaminated with chlorpyriphos (0.082 mg/kg) and dimethoate residue (0.192 mg/kg - 0.961 mg/kg), all of them were above maximum residue limit. Out of 36 analyzed samples of eggplant 3 samples (8.33%) were contaminated with quinalphos (0.081mg/kg) and dimethoate residue (0.032 mg/kg - 0.217 mg/kg) which were above MRL. Most of the samples contained with dimethoate residue in both the vegetables. The presence of pesticide residue exceeding MRL in vegetables is harmful to human and other living organisms. Analyzed samples of Cumilla, Bogura, Rangpur and Rajshahi showed pesticide residue (i.e. dimethoate, chlorpyriphos and quinalphos) over MRL but the samples of other five locations like Cox’s bazar, Khagrachari, Barishal, Jamalpur and Dhaka did not show any detectable residue which might safe for consumption.

The study was conducted in 16 coastal district viz. Satkhira, Khulna, Mongla, Khepupara, Barishal, Bhola, Patuakhali, Hatiya, Chandpur, Feni, Swandip, Sitakunda, Chittagong, Kutubdia, Coxs Bazar and Teknaf of Bangladesh during the period of 1975-2014 to investigate the variation of sea level pressure (SLP) and rainfall. SLP data of 40 years (1975-2014) have been analyzed in this study. The SLP was increasing slightly to the month of September and then a rapid increasing was observed from the month of October to December. Of all the stations, in the month of June and July the lowest SLP was observed in the Khulna region and highest in Teknaf. In the month of December and January the highest and lowest SLP was found in the Month of January. As the fluctuation of SLP was high in the summer season the possibility of cyclone occurrence also rise in this season. The average rainfall is lowest in the station Sitakunda and highest in Swandip. The average rainfall of all district divided the stations into two parts. The rainfall of Barishal, Bhola, Chandpur, Mongla, Sitakunda and Khulna is lower the average of all district. This shows a great instability of weather in these regions. Rest of the stations has the higher average rainfall than the average rainfall of all stations.Progressive Agriculture 27 (3): 285-295, 2016

Measuring urban resilience is one of the important processes toward understanding the potential current and future risks of cities, assessing the challenges of urbanization and to guide the development of urban areas. The research was conducted in a slum named Bangabandhu Colony under Barishal City Corporation (BCC). The purpose of the research was to measure the urban disaster resilience and to find out a better way of future urban disaster resilience in this area. Climate Disaster Resilience Index (CDRI) was used to measure climate-related disaster resilience by considering five dimensions: physical, social, institutional, economic and natural which shows resilience level ranging from 1-5 where 1 representing very poor and 5 best. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for collecting the primary data and the secondary data was collected from secondary sources. Results revealed that the resilience level of physical, social, institutional, economic, and natural dimensions was 2.76, 2.79, 2.29, 2.53, 2.59 respectively, which indicates a medium resilience level of all dimensions. Finally, the research depicted that, the resilience level of the area will increase through hand to hand working of people with government and non-government officials, conducting public awareness programs, campaigns, seminars and discussions. The findings of the research can be used by researchers and development workers for enhancing disaster resilience of other areas under Barishal City Corporation as well as other city areas of Bangladesh.

Objective: Skeletal scintigraphy is highly sensitive and widely used for the detection of metastatic disease especially in breast cancer. The study was aimed to evaluate the pattern of skeletal metastasis in breast cancer patients with whole body bone scan using 99mTechnetium -Methyl Diphosphonate (99mTc-MDP) to aid proper diagnosis, staging, management and prognosis. Study design: Single center based retrospective study. Patients and methods: The study was conducted among the histopathologically proven breast cancer patients referred to INMAS, Barishal for 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy between March 2016 and March 2017. Bone scan was done with SPECT digital dual head gamma camera (Siemens S series) 3 hours after intravenous bolus injection of 20 mCi 99m Tc-MDP. Results: Out of total 96 patients, 47(49%) were found positive for skeletal metastases and among them 31(66%) had only axial skeletal metastases. Appendicular skeletal metastases were seen in 5 (11%) patients. Both axial and appendicular skeletal metastases were found in 11(23%) patients. Conclusion: For equivocal lesions SPECT is better than planar scintigraphy alone to characterize and comment confidently. Metastatic lesions detected by bone scintigraphy in breast cancer patients keep a significant impact on patient management. Bangladesh J. Nuclear Med. 23(1&2): 37-39, 2020

Full textAbstract:
Homestead farming is always ignored though it is a boundless promising area for economic sustainability. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to determine the present status of the homestead vegetable production and also to ascertain the socio-economic condition of the local farmers of the Barishal District. The influence of different types of socio-economic factors on the economic security of the farmers through homestead vegetable production was also investigated through this study. Following proportionate random sampling technique, a total number of 180 farmers were sampled from three villages of Babuganj Upazila of Barishal of Bangladesh and were interviewed through a predesigned questionnaire. The findings of the study revealed that half of farmers were more than 50 years old, of whom 89% were educated either primary to more than SSC level and had an average family annual income of USD 1967.9. The family size of the respondents indicated that 80% of the farmers had small to medium (4-6 members) family size. The findings also indicated that, on an average, the farmers had 1.25 acre of total land and 0.17 acre of homestead vegetable land in which they spent about 3 hours of time in a day to perform homestead vegetable production. Out of all the farmers, 30% of them didn’t receive any training on any agriculture related issues and 30% of them didn’t receive any training on homestead vegetable gardening related issues. The farmers of the study area practiced some technologies in homestead vegetable production, like, balanced fertilizer use, and pheromone trap. The farmers produced different types of vegetables in their homestead areas and among them green papaya, brinjal and tomato were the dominant. The results of the study also revealed that the farmers earned about USD 50 per year from homestead vegetable gardening which helped them to upsurge some sorts of financial safety and improve nutritional status of their families. In addition, out of nine attributes, two attributes, namely, family size and vegetable land ownership had significant influence on the financial security through homestead vegetable gardening.

Full textAbstract:
Avian mycoplasmosis in commercial chicken is a serious problem around the world, and responsible for high economic losses and decreased poultry productivity. This study aimed to characterize the mycoplasma infection macroscopically and microscopically in commercially important poultry like broiler and layer in Barishal, Bangladesh. Diagnosis of mycoplasmosis was made on the basis of history, clinical signs, necropsy findings and histopathology of the suspected organs. The study was conducted on a total no. of 460 birds (broiler n=237; layer n=223) of 20 different farms of three different upazillas of Barishal district in Bangladesh. The overall prevalence of micoplasmosis was 26.52%. Layer chicken (30.04%) was more susceptible to mycoplasmosis than broiler chicken (23.20%). The highest prevalence of mycoplasmosis was observed in 3-6 weeks-aged chicken in both broiler (54.55%) and layer (35.82%) chicken. A significant difference (p<0.05) was observed in mycoplasmosis prevalence rate among the seasons. The highest prevalence rate of mycoplasmosis was in winter season followed by rainy and seasons. Major necropsy findings of mycoplasmosis include catarrhal hemorrhage and mucus exudation on tracheal mucosa and severe congestion, consolidation and reddish gelatinous mass over the lung surface. Mycoplasmosis caused severe tracheitis, bronchitis, air sacculitis, and pneumonia in chickens. Mycoplasma affected different organs in the chicken and hinder the production through morbidity and mortality. Present study will provide the baseline data for future in-depth research on mycoplasmosis to draw an effective policy for controlling and eradicating mycoplasmosis from commercial poultry.

Full textAbstract:
A study was conducted to determine the growth performance and mortality rate of Khaki Campell, Jinding and Deshi genotypes in two coastal locations of Barisal and Bhola districts of Bangladesh. Sixty-day-old ducks of 3 genotypes were randomly allocated to 3 treatments having 4 replications in each. Ducks are reared up to 150 days and at the end of experiment one male Khaki Campbell of highest live weight was selected from each replicate group. The average weekly body weight gain (g/bird) of the Khaki Campbell and Jinding were significantly (p<0.01) higher than those of the Deshi ducks. The average body weight of Khaki Campbell (1480.25g) was slightly higher than that of Jinding (1428.25g) but significantly (p<0.01) higher than that of Deshi (1140.62g) ducks at the end of the experiment. The mortality rate were significantly different (p<0.01) in various genotypes. The highest mortality was found in Deshi (30.20%) compared to Khaki Campbell (19.79%) and Jinding (17.77%). The profit margin was significantly different (p<0.01) in three genotypes. The ducks reared in Barishal performed better (p<0.01) than that from Bhola. It may be suggested from the present findings that both Khaki Campbell and Jinding ducks are performed better than Deshi in the coastal region of Bangladesh.http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjas.v41i1.11971

Full textAbstract:
Background Bangladesh has failed to meet the United Nations goal for reducing maternal mortality in the last decade. The high prevalence of unskilled birth attendant (UBA) delivery (47%) has resulted in negative consequences for the health of mothers and newborn babies in the country. Spatial variations in UBA delivery and its predictors are yet to be explored in Bangladesh, which could be very helpful in formulating cost-effective policies for reducing that. This study examines the spatial variations in UBA delivery and its predictors in Bangladesh. Methods This study analyzed the characteristics of 672 clusters extracted from the 2017/18 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey, and healthcare facility data from the 2017 Bangladesh Health Facility Survey. These data were analyzed using descriptive and spatial analyses (hot spot analysis, Ordinary Least Squares Regression, and Geographically Weighted Regression) techniques. Results Statistically significant hot spots of UBA delivery were concentrated in parts of the Mymensingh, Sylhet, Barishal, and Rangpur regions, while Khulna was the safest region. Predictive strengths of the statistically significant predictors of spatial variation in UBA delivery were observed to vary considerably across the regions. Poorest household wealth status and less than four antenatal care contacts emerged as strong predictors of UBA delivery in all the aforementioned hot spot-stricken regions, except Barisal. Additionally, primiparity and all secondary education or higher were strong predictors of lower UBA delivery rates in Mymensingh and Sylhet, while poorer household wealth status was also a strong predictor of UBA delivery in Sylhet. Multiparity was an additional strong predictor of UBA delivery in Rangpur. In Barisal, only poorer household wealth status exerted a strong positive influence on UBA delivery. Conclusions The remarkable spatial variations in UBA delivery and its predictors’ strengths indicate that geographically-targeted interventions could be a cost-effective method for reducing the UBA delivery prevalence in Bangladesh, thereby improve maternal and child health.

Full textAbstract:
Realizing the value of developing learners’ English language skill in the present global context, this study aims at exploring situational variables responsible for the exclusion of Fundamental English language course from the undergraduate syllabuses of Barishal University, Bangladesh and finding out teachers’ and learners’ perception towards this course. This empirical research gathered both quantitative and qualitative data from two important stakeholders of this institution- students and teachers. Quantitative data was collected through questionnaire studies both from students and teachers and qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews with the teachers. Quantitative data revealed that 89.47% students considered it a useful course as 80.26% students and 66% teachers believed it helped them to develop their communicative skill in English. Though 71.43% teachers opined that learners past achievements in English was not sufficient to pursue higher education, 80.52% student respondents held students already having sufficient command was the main reason behind the exclusion. On the other hand, the main reasons behind exclusion identified by the teachers were the traditional course content, students’ low satisfaction level, credit limitation, no qualitative change in students’ communication skill and limited budget of the authority. However, the qualitative data revealed instead of omission, some timely modifications in the course content and teaching strategies would have been more beneficial for the students. Therefore, this study will provide fresh insights for Barishal University authority and teachers, who are involved in curriculum development, in designing an effective curriculum by considering the situational factors which contributed to the exclusion of Fundamental English course and by addressing learners needs and perceptions regarding this course.

Globally, undernutrition is responsible for almost half of all infant deaths. Recommended infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices have been considered to be protective against undernutrition. The objective of the study was to assess the pattern of IYCF practices as well as the nutritional status of children 0-23 months in Barishal and Khulna region of Bangladesh. To assess the current feeding practices and factors associated with nutritional status, the present study used secondary data from a baseline survey of the project titled, "Integrated Agriculture and Health-based Interventions for Improved Food and Nutrition Security in Selected Districts of Southern Bangladesh". Socio-demographic, anthropometric and IYCF indicators were analyzed. The results showed that 30.6% of children met minimum dietary diversity (MDD) whereas 76.2% of children attained minimum meal frequency (MMF) and 29.1% of children had minimum acceptable diet (MAD) subsequently. The prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight was 27.1%, 8.9%and 20.1%, respectively. All indicators of the IYCF were significantly associated with age and MAD was statistically significant with the children's household wealth index and sex. There was a high prevalence of underweight among children who did not receive MDD (25.4%), MMF (26.5%), or (MAD) (25.3%), compared to children who received MDD (20.6%), MMF (22.9%), or MAD (20%). In comparison with national data, IYCF practices in Barishal districts are better than those in Khulna districts, but still fall below the national target of 34% by 2025. Therefore, to optimize the IYCF practices among the children extensive programmes and research work are required. Bangladesh J. Nutr. Vol. 33, December 2020, P: 73-85

Introduction: Low back pain is very common in every community. About 60-80% of people suffer from back pain in their whole life. It is tagged as one of the most common causes for absence from work. Microwave diathermy (MWD) is an important treatment modality which is used as an adjunct to other treatment options. In our country, very few studies were carried out in this regard. Objectives: To find out the efficacy of MWD chronic LBP when given with other usual treatment options like various medications and back muscle strengthening exercise. Methods: We evaluated 60 patients suffering from chronic LBP. Those who attended Orthopaedic department, CMH Barishal were divided randomly into two groups and treated with all conventional back pain modalities with or without microwave diathermy. Study design was case control study. It was conducted in CMH Barishal from January 2021 to December 2022. Patients were examined weekly for six weeks. After six weeks, the results were observed and compared. Data were collected by questionnaire and compared by Lattinen test score. Results: Pre-treatment overall score with Lattinen test score system in MWD group was 9.75±4.45 and in non MWD group was 9.5±4.5. After 6 weeks, Group MWD score was 3.20±4.25 whereas Group non MWD score was 5.5±5.6. We found significant improvement of Lattinen test score with application of microwave diathermy after 6 weeks (P<0.05). There was significant improvement in MWD group (P<0.05). Conclusion: This study reveals that MWD can be an effective adjunct to usual treatment modalities. JAFMC Bangladesh. Vol 19, No 1 (June) 2023: 50-54

Floating bed vegetable cultivation is now extended to wetland areas and long term water logging areas from southern parts of Bangladesh. Vegetables and other horticultural crops are now being cultivated in this method and getting popularity day by day. This method of cultivation is now providing numerous socio-economic, ecological and agricultural benefits towards climate change to local people. To face the circumstances from changed climate system effective adaptation actions and knowledge transfer is needed. This survey was conducted to find out socio-economic aspects, floral diversity cultivated, yield performance of cultivated crops, diversification of this technology, and also to find out the problems related to cultivation of this system. It was found that both sexes participate almost equally that leads to gender equity. In addition, a diversification in construction materials, fertilizers uses, yield purposes and crops cultivated were also found.

Full textAbstract:
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB), caused by Mycobacterium bovis, is a chronic zoonotic, contagious as well as notifiable disease which results in significant economic damages and poses a serious threat to public health. Hence, this study was undertaken and carried out from July 2022 to June 2023 among the abattoir workers in Barisal City Corporation area to assess the degree of comprehension, attitudes, and practices concerning bTB prevention and control as well as awareness of public health. A total of 50 abattoir personnel participated in the study. A pre-tested questionnaire was developed for the face to face interview of the participants. Descriptive analysis and chi-square test were employed to determine the strength of association of education and training status with the awareness as well as the knowledge regarding bTB prevention and control of the abattoir personnel using SPSS, Version 25. This study demonstrated that abattoir workers who received training on meat handling and processing have a good understanding of disinfection of the meat preparing place and equipment for ensuring food safety and preventing bacterial contamination. There was a statistically significant association between respondents’ awareness of bTB and their training status. However, the study revealed inadequate knowledge amongst both trained and non-trained abattoir personnel pertaining to issues of public health, bTB transmission, prevention and control. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the relevant authorities should take necessary steps to ensure regular training and educational programs on meat handling and processing for prevention and control of bTB as well as other zoonotic diseases in order to protect public health.

Full textAbstract:
Floating bed vegetable cultivation is now extended to wetland areas and long term water logging areas from southern parts of Bangladesh. Vegetables and other horticultural crops are now being cultivated in this method and getting popularity day by day. This method of cultivation is now providing numerous socio-economic, ecological and agricultural benefits towards climate change to local people. To face the circumstances from changed climate system effective adaptation actions and knowledge transfer is needed. This survey was conducted to find out socio-economic aspects, floral diversity cultivated, yield performance of cultivated crops, diversification of this technology, and also to find out the problems related to cultivation of this system. It was found that both sexes participate almost equally that leads to gender equity. In addition, a diversification in construction materials, fertilizers uses, yield purposes and crops cultivated were also found.

Good hygiene and sanitation are essential for the prevention of infectious diseases. Immunization is one of the most important public health interventions to reduce both morbidity and mortality of infectious diseases. Thus, the survey study aimed to determine the status of hygienic practices and assess the immunization coverage among 12-59 months old children in urban slums. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 259 under five children's (12-59 months) in Barisal city, Bangladesh, from June to December 2019 using a structured questionnaire. Data was collected by interviewing the mothers from different slum areas. Chi-squared test and multiple logistic regression models were used to explore the association. Prevalence of good hygiene practices status was 65.3% and fully immunized was 71.4%. Joint family (AOR=0.54; 95% CI: 0.31-0.95; P<0.05), monthly family income less than 10,000 BDT (AOR=0.52, 95%CI: 0.32-0.97; P<0.05) were less likely to practice good hygiene. Water along or ash/soil with water (AOR=5.32; 95%CI: 2.91-9.73; P<0.001), open toilet practices (AOR=81.1, 95%CI: 13.2-505.7; P<0.001) and suspended toilet facilities (AOR=2.77, 95%CI: 1.57-13.44; P<0.05) showed the likelihood to good hygiene practices. Illiterate mother (AOR=0.06; 95%CI: 0.09-0.79; P≤0.001), children living with joint family (AOR=0.08; 95%CI: 0.12-0.96; P≤.001) associated with lower immunization coverage. Immunization services center <10-minute walking distance from their living place (AOR =1.71; 95%CI: 1.02-2.87; P<0.05) associated with more immunization coverage status. The prevalence of hygiene practices status (65.3%) and immunization status (71.4%) in urban slums of Barishal city were reported less compared to the national level (86% immunization coverage). Some modifiable factors (water used within soap/soil, suspended toilet, the distance of immunization center, etc.) were significant with good hygiene practices and immunization coverage which are needed to improve for promoting good hygiene practices and reduce the infant mortality and morbidity rate.

By applying Glock’s multidimensional concept of religiosity, the study aims to explore the nature of religious commitment among youth by conducting a quantitative study among 254 Muslim students from different departments of Social Sciences faculty and also Science and Engineering faculty at University of Barishal, Bangladesh. The findings of the study show that majority of the respondents who belong to young generation are strong at their ideological and experiential dimension of religiosity. But in ritualistic and consequential dimension their position is not significant at all. They are more believer than a performer. Besides their exposure in the intellectual dimension of religiosity is in moderate level.

Full textAbstract:
People have now made drinking coffee in coffee shops a new culture. Many people who are interested in getting into the coffee business because of the market potential are eager to explore the brewing process and want to share with those around them. One of the determinants of a coffee shop business success is the presence of a barista. Barista is the name for someone whose job is to make and serve coffee to customers. Therefore, baristas must have competence in delivering Experiential marketing such as treating customers as friends, remembering customers' names, and always smiling and baristas must have competence in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration. The purpose of this research is none other than knowing the level of competence of baristas in conveying the values of experimental marketing and knowing the level of competence of baristas according to SKKNI No. 370 of 2013. This research was conducted using a questionnaire to baristas with quantitative techniques and conducting interviews with informants. The results of this study indicate that the majority of baristas are competent in applying this aspect of Experiential marketing. Based on the measurement of barista competence according to SKKNI Barista, it can be concluded that the majority of baristas are very capable of meeting the standards even though the majority of baristas do not know these standards and also only a small proportion of baristas who are respondents have attended Barista Schools.

Full textAbstract:
The objectives of this study were to evaluate humoral immunity against Newcastle disease (ND) virus in vaccinated chickens in terms of serum HI antibody titers in broiler and layer chickens and to determine pathological changes in vaccinated chickens. A total of 240 serum samples were collected from broiler (135) and layer (105) chickens from Barishal Sadar, Babugonj and Gournadi Upazilas of Barishal district in Bangladesh after two weeks of scheduled vaccination programme. The overall detection of Hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibodies against Newcastle disease virus was 62.2% in broiler and 83.8% in layer chickens. The percentages of specific HI antibody titer in broiler chickens were 57.5, 70 and 48 in 1-2 weeks, 3-4 weeks, and 4-above weeks age groups respectively where in layer chickens were 85, 80, 90, 80 and 80 in 15-24 weeks, 25-34 weeks, 35-44 weeks, 45-54 weeks and > 55 weeks of age groups respectively. For both broiler and layer chicken’s protective antibody titers were found higher in adult than in young chickens. Out of 240 samples HI titers of 172 (71.67%) samples were found at protective level, 42 (17.5%) samples were at marginal level and 26 (10.83%) samples were below protective level. Among 26 samples of non-protective level, 21 were broiler and 5 were layer chicken. Out of 26 samples, 10 (38.46%) were found apparently infected with NDV where 8 (38.09%) were broiler and 2 (40%) were layer. The apparently infected birds were diagnosed on the basis of postmortem findings and histopathological lesions. Results of the present investigation may help to design appropriate vaccination schedule for ND in broiler and layer chickens and thus to protect chickens from ND in field condition.

Full textAbstract:
Due to geographical locations, the Southwestern coastal region of Bangladesh is frequently experiencing climate change induced disasters such as cyclones, floods, and tidal surges. However, local communities at this region have a long history of coping with the adverse effects of these disasters. Consequently, this research assessed the social vulnerability towards natural disasters through local peoples’ perception and identified the existing immediate response against natural disasters at Kazirchar village in Muladi Upazila of Barishal district of the coastal region. In this study, a well-structured questionnaire survey, and focus group discussions were conducted to collect primary data. The collected data were processed and analysed to present the existing impacts of natural disasters. Besides, the immediate responses were categorized into different sectors. The study found that, the most prevalent coastal disaster in Kazirchar village was cyclone. About 48% of surveyed respondents opined that high cost of living was the main reason for increasing the vulnerability towards disasters. To adapt with disaster impacts, 58% respondents of this village need to travel long distances to collect drinking water. On the other hand, during flood, 26% people took shelter on government-owned high lands, whereas 40% shifted temporarily to their neighbors who are living in house with a high land elevation. This research concludes that the village has a low prior preparedness against various disasters, less knowledge about disaster, less coordination and poor collaboration between government organization (GOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) regarding disaster risk reduction. It is expected that this study will act as a source of information for taking natural disaster management initiatives and the findings of this study will push the policy makers to develop and implement long term adaptation strategies in coastal areas of Bangladesh particularly in Barishal district.

Energy consumption in Bangladesh increased for economic, industrial, and digitalization growth. Reductions in conventional sources such as natural gas (54%) and coal (5.6%) are calls to enhance renewable resources. This paper aims to investigate the atmospheric variables for potential wind zones and develop a statistical power-forecasting model. The study-site is Bangladesh, focusing on eight divisions across two regions. First, the southern zone includes Dhaka (Capital), Chittagong, Barishal, and Khulna. The northern regions are Rajshahi, Rangpur, Mymensingh, and Sylhet. This investigation illustrates wind (m/s) speeds at various heights (m) and analyzes the boundary layer height (BLH) from the European Center for Medium Range Weather Forecast reanalysis 5th generation (ERA5). The data is from a period of 40 years from 1979 to 2018, assessing with a climatic base of 20 years (1979 to 2000). The climatological analysis comprises trends, time series, anomalies, and linear correlations. The results for the wind speed (BLH) indicate that the weakest (lower) and strongest (higher) regions are Sylhet and Barishal, respectively. Based on power-curve relationships, a simple power predictive model (SPPM) is developed using global wind atlas (GWA) data (sample: 1100) to estimate the power density (W/m2) and found an accuracy of 0.918 and 0.892 for Exponential (EXP) and Polynomial (PN) with mean absolute percentage errors (MAPE) of 22.92 and 21.8%, respectively. For validation, SPPM also forecasts power incorporating historical observations for Chittagong and obtains correlations of 0.970 and 0.974 for EXP and PN with a MAPE of 10.26 and 7.69% individually. Furthermore, calculations for annual energy production reveal an average megawattage of 1748 and 1070 in the southern and northern regions, with an MAPE of 15.71 and 5.85% for EXP and PN models, except Sylhet. The SPPM’s predictability can be improved with observed wind speeds and turbine types. The research wishes to apply SPPM for estimating energy in operational power plants.

Full textAbstract:
The hydro-distilled essential oil of hog plum peel may be used for enhancing the flavor and taste of food products as well as for hiding the unpleasant odor of drugs. Thus, the waste peels of Spondias mombin appear to have economic importance. To find out the chemical composition and anti-microbial properties of hog plum peel oil, the samples were collected from different regions of Bangladesh for extraction and identification of volatile compounds by GC-MS, where dichloromethane was used as an extraction solvent. The required standard analytical methods were used to assay the anti-microbial properties of hog plums. In this study, pentenyl-3-thy-met-4-alpha-methyl-alpha-ethanol-oxiranen (29.04%), (3,3.1,1)-4-dimethylethyl-1,1-phenol (8.00%), cycohexanol-3 (10.85%), 4-hydroxy-penzeneethanamine (7.09%), hydroxylamine (4.63%), dibutyl phthalate (6.85%), etc., were majorly determined. Consequently, the highest content of 75.81% volatile compounds was found in the Dinajpur district, where the lowest content of 35.00% was found in the Rajshahi district. In contrast, 33 volatile compounds were identified in hog plum peels collected from the Barishal district, whereas 22 compounds were detected in the peel samples collected from the Dinajpur district. In addition, the antimicrobial activity of the oil was analyzed by the disk diffusion method, and the results revealed that the highest Ciprocin content was recorded in the hog plums of Barishal (22.0–23.0 mm), while the lowest was recorded in the Mymensingh sample (20.67–21.63 mm), which was on par with Rajshahi sample (20.70–21.50 mm). The results of the anti-fungal activities of the peel oil showed the highest zone of inhibition against the Aspergillus niger (11.63 ± 0.0003 mm) and Penicillium oxalicum (13.67 ± 1.97 mm) content of the Rajshahi and Pabna district samples, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the trends of crashes, injuries, and fatalities under the effect of the lockdown and observe the deviation of these trends from the anticipated values that would have been seen without the impact of the lockdown. To that end, data on road collisions, injuries, and fatalities in Bangladesh were compiled over four years (from January 2016 to May 2020) using the dataset from the Accident Research Institute (ARI). The pre-pandemic and lockdown period during the pandemic were included in the selected study period. To compare the observed values of the number of crashes, injuries, and fatalities to the forecasted values, which were meant to show assumed conditions without the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, different Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) time series models were developed for each first-level administrative divisions (Dhaka, Chattogram, Khulna, Barishal, Rajshahi, Sylhet, Rangpur, and Mymensingh). Due to the mobility restrictions, the observed number of collisions, injuries, and deaths remained below the expected values, with a discernible high difference throughout the entire lockdown in Dhaka and Chattogram. In contrast, in the case of other divisions (Khulna, Barishal, Rajshahi, Sylhet, Rangpur, and Mymensingh), it remained under the expected trend for most of the lockdown period but not entirely. The mobility was not eliminated, resulting in a non-zero crash, injury, and fatality records across all divisions. In multiple instances, we observed that actual collision, injury, and fatality rates were higher than expected. Additionally, various divisions exhibited varying patterns of crashes, injuries, and fatalities during stay-at-home orders. Poor performance has been noted in terms of overall road safety during the pandemic era. Given the possibility of future waves of COVID-19 cases and other pandemics, the results of the current study can be used by local authorities and policymakers to improve road safety.
