Published: February 2025

Exercise programs are one of the treatments used to extend the life expectancy of individuals with pulmonary hypertension; however, there is conflicting evidence regarding how well exercise increases muscle strength and VO2 peak. Six databases and one other source were used in a comprehensive search conducted from June to August 2024 to find relevant research published in English between 2006 and 2022. The standard mean difference, mean difference, and risk difference with a 95% confidence interval were used to determine the effect of exercise. Biased publications were presented with a risk of bias summary/graph. Employing the Critical Appraisal Skills Program, all reviewers independently assessed the methodological quality of the included studies and extracted data.
The results showed 13 randomized control trial studies with 421 respondents, consisting of 204 and 217 in the intervention and control groups, respectively. Exercise had significant effects on improving muscle strength, VO2 peak (primary outcomes), oxygen saturation, cardiac output, six-minute walk test, and several aspects of health-related quality of life as assessed by the SF-36 questionnaire (secondary outcomes), and there were no serious adverse events linked to exercise. However, exercise did not significantly alter VE/VCO2 slope, cardiac index, role physical, vitality, mental health, physical component summary, or mental component summary between the intervention than control groups among people with pulmonary hypertension. In conclusion, an exercise program of supervised may improve VO2 peak and muscle strength and does not result in an increased risk of serious adverse events. Nonetheless, individuals with severe conditions of pulmonary hypertension should be carefully considered when doing exercise programs.
Examples of Fuzzy Sets, Hyperfuzzy Sets, and SuperHyperfuzzy Sets in Climate Change and the Proposal of Several New Concepts
Authors: Fujita Takaaki , Smarandache Florentin
Published: February 2025

A fuzzy set generalizes classical set theory by assigning each element a membership value within [0, 1], allowing for the representation of partial or uncertain membership. It is well established that fuzzy sets can be further extended to Hyperfuzzy sets and SuperHyperfuzzy sets. However, as these concepts have been introduced only recently, their practical applications remain largely unexplored. In this paper, we investigate potential applications of Fuzzy sets, Hyperfuzzy sets, and SuperHyperfuzzy sets in the context of climate change and environmental factors. Additionally, we introduce the Forest Fuzzy Set, Forest Hyperfuzzy Set, and Forest SuperHyperfuzzy Set, and explore their possible applications. Furthermore, Hyperfuzzy sets and SuperHyperfuzzy sets are known to be associated with Hyperstructure and SuperHyperstructure concepts. While our primary focus is on the aforementioned extensions, we also provide a brief discussion on TreeStructure and ForestStructure by considering their definitions in the context of Hyperstructure and SuperHyperstructure.

Does the presumed disadvantage of dyslexia offer advantages for entrepreneurship?
Authors: Lindstrom Stefan
Published: February 2025

The objective of this study is to evaluate whether the presumed disadvantages of dyslexia offer advantages for entrepreneurship.
This study explores whether the presumed disadvantages of dyslexia offer advantages in entrepreneurship. It evaluates the impact of dyslexia on entrepreneurial success, distinguishes it from ADHD, and investigates how dyslexia specifically influences entrepreneurial experiences and outcomes.
The research identifies traits commonly associated with dyslexia—such as holistic thinking, creativity, and problem-solving abilities—that align and are recognized as beneficial for entrepreneurial success with criteria found in various entrepreneurial profiles. Additionally, the study underscores the importance of intuition in entrepreneurial decision-making, a trait often developed and enhanced by individuals with dyslexia due to their unique cognitive experiences. While dyslexia and ADHD frequently co-occur, (comorbidity) this study specifically focuses on dyslexia to discern its unique impacts on entrepreneurship.
Despite challenges such as difficulties in reading, spelling, and organization, dyslexic individuals often exhibit strengths that can be advantageous in entrepreneurial settings. These strengths include a heightened ability to see the big picture, innovative problem-solving skills, and a strong intuitive approach to decision-making.
The research demonstrates how self-employment and thereby self-shaped environments enable individuals to leverage these strengths effectively by allowing entrepreneurs to tailor their work conditions to their cognitive profiles.
In conclusion, this study reframes dyslexia from a perceived disadvantage to a potential asset in entrepreneurship, demonstrating that individuals can transform these challenges into significant entrepreneurial advantages.

MEDICAL SUPERVISION OF THE HOSTELS IN DHAKA DURING COLONIAL PERIOD: A MEDICOBUREAUCRATIC ANALYSIS
Authors: Kawser Mohammad Abul
Published: February 2025

The dissemination of Western education in East Bengal commenced
with the founding of Dhaka College in 1841. Over time, the number
of these educational establishments grew. In the beginning, students
hailing from areas outside Dhaka encountered difficulties in finding
accommodation in Dhaka, so they resorted to creating messes. However,
the government subsequently took the initiative to establish hostels for
these educational institutions. Nevertheless, the messes managed to
survive due to the limited space available in the hostels. The sanitary
and medical conditions of these messes and hostels were precarious.
While the government did not address the issue of the messes, it did take
the proactive step of implementing medical supervision in the hostels.
The paper aims to analyse the Medico-Bureaucratic process involved in
the introduction of medical supervision of the hostels of Dacca College
and its allied institutions in the years 1907 and 1908. In light of a
conceptual framework crafted with medical discourse and the expansion
of western medicine, the paper analyses quite a few official letters
exchanged among the government officials of different departments that
were found in a file preserved at the National Archives of Bangladesh.
Drawing upon the analysis, it concludes that although the introduction
of medical supervision was part of the government’s educational policy,
it can also be interpreted by Arnold’s elements of medical discourse on
the colonizing body which encompasses practises such as counting,
disciplining and controlling. Again, though this was a goodwill gesture
towards the people of East Bengal, it can also be interpreted from the
point of view of the Civilization Mission.

WOMEN’S PARTICIPATION IN THE LIBERATION WAR: ROLE OF THREE WOMEN FROM DHAKA MEDICAL COLLEGE
Authors: Sitara Sania
Published: February 2025

The best achievement of the Bengali nation is the establishment of the
independent, sovereign Bangladesh state through the great Liberation
War of 1971. A nation like Bangladesh was established through a bloody
armed war lasting nine months. In this great independence struggle of
Bangladesh, women also made a heroic contribution. Although men
played an important role in the war of liberation, there is no opportunity
to deny the contribution of women. The participation of women as well
as men is highly commendable. However, the contribution of women in
the history of this war in our country does not seem to be recognized
in that way because patriarchal society like Bangladesh did not reflect
their original achievements. Women have been described as the victims
of oppression or the victims of torture in the war. And that’s why it is
usually said that freedom was gained in exchange for the life of three
million martyrs and the honor of two hundred thousand women. We have
forgotten that women were also a great help to us during the war. They
not only served the people by providing medical care but also served
the country and people by risking their lives in the country’s dire crisis.
To highlight the contribution of women in the Liberation War to the
new generation, an attempt has been made to discuss the role of three
outstanding women of Dhaka Medical College in this article.

REASONABLE BELIEF, UNDERPERFORMANCE, AND THE DEGREES OF MORAL RESPONSIBILITY
Authors: Huda Kazi A S M Nurul
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The article’s main argument is that by demonstrating where both Gideon
Rosen and Martin Montiminy fall short, we may set up a discussion
between their opposing perspectives on moral responsibility. Rosen
argues that an agent is blameworthy for his wrongdoing only if his action
is an episode of clear-eyed akrasia or an upshot of an episode of cleareyed
akrasia. Denying this epistemic condition for moral responsibility,
Montminy argues that an agent is to blame for his wrongdoing only if his
action is a result of his belief which is not compatible with his ability. He
is blameworthy only if his wrongdoing is due to his underperformance.
He is to blame for his action only if he fails to do his reasonable best.
However, the paper argues that Rosen’s view is problematic because
its procedural epistemic obligations are vague. Though mostly,
Montminy’s account appears to be unproblematic, it suffers from two
problems: there is no necessary connection between reasonable belief
and moral responsibility, and underperformance does not always make
agents blameworthy. In order to avoid these problems, the paper, based
on Montminy’s view, proposes a brief alternative that needs improvement.
According to this alternative view, an agent’s blameworthiness for
wrongdoing is a matter of the degree of being consistent in holding an
epistemically reasonable belief. Hence, one’s degree of responsibility for
action depends on consistency with epistemically reasonable belief.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Many people across the world have been affected by the deadliest
COVID-19 since its advent at the end of 2019. A plethora of studies
are already in place to realize its severity on humanity, public health,
economies, and society. The current study focuses on the significance of
family and kinship amidst a massive health emergency like COVID-19.
This is a qualitative cross-sectional study based on semi-structured
interviews with 30 coronavirus survivors conducted in three divisional
cities in Bangladesh. The data of the study were analyzed narratively
using direct quotations to manifest the experiences of their lives as
victims of a mysterious virus. The study has relevance to the functionalist
perspective of society that considers the family as a fundamental social
institution that serves the needs of individuals to retain social order. The
study portrays that once infected with the coronavirus most participants
had to go through formidable challenges including managing a place
for isolation at home, doing household chores and childcare, and coping
with the economic losses caused by the illness. In such a situation,
cooperation and support from other family members and kinfolk have
been found precious regarding their survival in all aspects.

FIXING DOWER AND ITS RECOVERY UNDER SHARIAH LAW: A CONTRAST BETWEEN SOCIOLEGAL PRACTICES IN BANGLADESH
Authors: Aktar Sharmin
Published: February 2025

This research paper is an endeavour to concentrate on one of the
property rights of women provided under Muslim personal laws of
Bangladesh, which is the dower. It is generally accepted that women’s
dower rights are already granted in the Sharia. The present research
finds that cases of dower in Bangladesh highlight the contrast between
theory and practice. In dower cases, the payment is a legal obligation,
whereas in social practice the question of payment arises only in the case
of divorce. It was discovered that women faced problems in recovering
the dower money in practice because of a lack of awareness along with
other reasons. This research endeavours to test couples’ awareness of
dowers in a village in a northern district of Bangladesh. Side by side it
focuses on other reasons of the deprivation of women from their rights
of dower. Finally, necessary solutions are recommended for ensuring
women’s right to dower from the male-dominated society.

APPLICATION OF KANTIAN CATEGORICAL IMPERATIVE IN RESOLVING CONCURRENT MORAL DECAY: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS
Authors: Mita Jannatul Ferdous
Published: February 2025

This article examines the application of Immanuel Kant’s categorical
imperative in improving concurrent social moral decency: injustice
towards us to injustice towards others. Morality is the basis of any society,
which is conformed under the consensus of people living in the society
to ensure a good life for the individual and the community. However, this
foundation is frequently affected by the activities of people living in the
community. Although humans are made up of rationality and animality,
animality often triumphs over reason, leading to our exposure to immoral
behaviours, which are vulnerable both for the individual and society. Moral
degradation is thus the result of prioritizing animality over humanity. This
article analyzes the effectiveness of the Kantian categorical imperative in
resolving our daily moral crises and preventing moral decay in society.

INTERRELIGIOUS EMPATHY IN STRENGTHENING NATIONAL INTEGRITY OF BANGLADESH
Authors: Akter Rahima
Published: February 2025

Empathy in interreligious activism and harmony has tremendous
impacts. Therefore, this study explores the influence and effectiveness
of interreligious empathy in strengthening the national integrity of
Bangladesh. Other related issues have also been investigated to get the
whole picture. Hopefully, findings can cooperate with policymakers to
determine the level of relationship between interreligious empathy and
national integrity. Thus, the result will assist them in taking further
steps to strengthen the national integrity of Bangladesh. Data have been
collected using a qualitative approach, and the data analysis method is
applied to analyze these to find relevant information. This study finds a
significant correlation between interreligious empathy and the national
integrity of Bangladesh. The peace-loving people of Bangladesh
have a historical legacy of assisting each other. Communal violence
and terrorism will not develop here permanently. The Zero Tolerance
Policy of the Bangladesh government toward terrorism, Constitutional
safeguards for religious freedom and expression, and unique amenities
for the observation of different communities, religious festivals, and so
on enforce interreligious empathy in Bangladesh. Interreligious empathy
ensures stability and development and, ultimately, national integrity.
Nurturing interreligious empathy is an appropriate strategy for the
national integrity of Bangladesh, which is demonstrated in this study.
An implication for policymakers is that they can put more emphasis on
interreligious empathy.

THE SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOOD FRAMEWORK AND PEOPLE IN THE CHAR OF BANGLADESH: A STUDY OF THE OLD BRAHMAPUTRA RIVER IN SHERPUR DISTRICT
Authors: Arifuzzaman G.M.
Published: February 2025

Bangladesh is widely known as a riverine based country. Thousands of
people across the country directly or indirectly are connected with rivers
for their livelihood. In the history of Bengal delta, we have found that
huge numbers of economic and social activities were related to rivers.
These economic and social activities have been gradually shifted because
of the industrial and technological development in the globalized world.
Every year, four major rivers in Bangladesh, i.e. the Padma, the Jamuna,
the Meghna and the Brahmaputra, and their distributaries erode away
a substantial tract of land and have devastating social, physical,
economic, and political impacts upon the population. These kinds of
changes effect the people’s livelihood patterns and lifestyles, which
are directly or indirectly connected to rivers. This paper has described
the livelihood pattern of the people who are living in rived-based char
areas through the well-known framework, ‘the Sustainable Livelihood
Approach.’. The sustainable livelihood framework has been adopted by
the UK’s Department for International Development’s (DFID) in late
1990’s that’s become the dominant approach to the implementation of
development interventions by a number of major international agencies.
The study area is Sherpur district of Bangladesh, which is situated on the
bank of the old Brahmaputra River. This study has been conducted and
examined the circumstances throughout both the wet and dry seasons.
The findings of the study show that a significant number of inhabitants
including women and children in the Sherpur district’s chars go through
an experience of a shift in their standard of life and ways of livelihood
every year. Overall, the study examines the many dimensions of livelihood
patterns of char’s inhabitants and then looks for a long-term probable
solution of problems.Keywords: Char, Livelihood Pattern, Sherpur District, The Sustainable

Studi Kasus Kerajinan Tenun Silungkang di Toko Fauzan di By Pasa Ketaping
Authors: Restati Nursadi  , Yahya Yahya
Published: February 2025

Silungkang weaving is a traditional heritage of the Silungkang community, long recognized in Sawahlunto. However, this tradition is currently under threat due to the lack of younger generations continuing it, with the majority of artisans being over 40 years old. This study aims to analyze the existence and development of Silungkang weaving in Padang City, particularly concerning its products, motifs, colors, and weaving techniques. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the interest of the younger generation in Silungkang weaving is very low, while the remaining artisans continue to use traditional tools and ancestral motifs. However, there has been some development in more varied motifs that are no longer confined to the old designs. The basic weaving techniques used also show variations from simple to more complex songket techniques. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of preservation efforts and innovation so that Silungkang weaving can continue to survive and evolve in the future.

Authors: Benovan Rahmandicca  , Robby Ferdian
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the current intonation in Music Education students at UNP, assess the impact of longtone exercises in improving intonation, and assess intonation differences before and after training. This type of research is descriptive qualitative research research. This research instrument is the researcher himself and is assisted by supporting instruments such as stationery and cameras. The data in this study used primary data and secondary data. Data collection techniques are carried out by means of interviews, observations, and document analysis. The steps of analyzing data are data reduction, data model and drawing conclusions. The results showed that longtone training became the most important exercise in the process of forming pitch control (intonation) in playing the Saxophone. Longtone exercises build the strength of the lip muscles (muscle memory) because to get a good intonation, the lip muscles must be formed and have stable strength in order to get a good tone, because the Saxophone is a tool that is very sensitive to pitch changes. Researchers provide an understanding of the urgency and mastery of basic exercises in playing beginner Saxophone. Because before mastering higher techniques, of course, you must master basic techniques first, especially longtones, so that higher technique training does not experience problems because it already has a strong foundation. This research also provides an understanding that it is important for an instrument player to perform the stages in the process of musical instrument practice well and the importance of practicing basic techniques in learning the instrument.
