Deixis Analysis on Article in CNN International
Authors: Tauchid Ahmad , Ardeliya Maya , Syafitri Nurul Intan
Published: February 2023

Each language, including English, uses deixis differently due to various distinct settings, such as grammatical restrictions and cultural or customary backgrounds in society. Descriptive qualitative research is the method used to analyze the data. As data-gathering instruments, human instruments and text analysis were used. All of which are used in written form to refer to the speaker, recipients, and references who are not speakers or recipients. According to the research, the personal pronoun deixis is most commonly used in the human subject's second, third, and possessive plural forms. Additionally, deixis with a temporal focus is used in CNN International articles as speech moments, and there are two different times: the "coding" and "receiving" times (the time of recovering information by the listener who is informed).

Authors: Ferreira Pablo , Fracacio Renata
Published: February 2023

Na atual sociedade, observa-se a exacerbada poluição dos ambientes aquáticos provenientes de produtos químicos que ameaçam a biota e o equilíbrio desse meio. Nesse contexto, destacam-se os setores têxtil e alimentício, que por meio de seus efluentes líquidos, lançam corantes, dentre outros agentes poluidores de alto grau de complexidade química, de difícil degradação e elevado potencial de interagir com os sistemas biológicos. Dentre os corantes, destaca-se o índigo blue na fabricação de jeans amplamente utilizado no mundo. Nesse sentido, foi objetivo do presente estudo avaliar o potencial ecotoxicológico dos corantes índigo blue sintético e natural, na concentração de 100 mg. L -1 por meio da exposição crônica (21 dias) do organismo-teste Danio rerio, seguindo-se a análise do biomarcador histológico, tecido nervoso. Após período de exposição, uma porcentagem dos organismos-teste expostos aos corantes permanece por mais 21 dias em água de cultivo a fim de avaliar-se a recuperação biológica, analisando-se o mesmo biomarcador acima citado. Foram observadas múltiplas alterações em ambas as situações experimentais, sendo que as mais frequentes consistiram na degeneração do tecido nervoso, vacuolizações e células picnóticas, evidências de morte celular precoce, comprovando a ecotoxicidade desses corantes em meio aquático. Destaca-se ainda que em experimentos de recuperação biológica de 21 dias, não houve reversão das lesões desencadeadas no tecido nervoso, pela exposição aos corantes índigo blue sintético e índigo blue natural, indicando a irreversibilidade dos efeitos, no tempo estudado.

The Cases of the Albanian Language - Based on the Point of View of the Linguist Fatmir Agalliu
Authors: Duraj Petrit , Dulaj Fridrik , Neziri Senad , Kastrati Nexhmije
Published: February 2023

This paper aims to provide the contribution of the linguist Fatmir Agalliu and his point of view for Albanian language’s cases. Fatmir Agalliu belongs to the first generation of Albanian linguists that were educated inside the country that have given important support in the study of Albanian Language. An important and big value case is also his contribution on the determination of the number of cases in Albanian Language. In the determination of the number and the classification of cases of a language, we should consider specific features of that language and we should not apply a case system of another language mechanically. In Albanian declension there are two different aspects, definite and indefinite aspect. That means that case forms are doubled. Therefore, instead of having two nominative forms, one for singular and one for plural, we have four forms in fact, two for singular (definite and indefinite) and two for plural (definite and indefinite). Form and the content should take into consideration in treating case as a grammatical category claims Fatmir Agalliu.
Insidious Trauma: A Literature Review
Authors: KS Janani , Karmakar Manali
Published: February 2023

Despite the promising development of trauma studies as an interdisciplinary phenomenon, the notion of insidious trauma is often relegated to its margins. As a theory with its roots in feminist psychotherapeutic practices of scholars such as Maria Root and Laura Brown, the paradigm of insidious trauma provides scope to discuss mundane and everyday experientialities of trauma that result from socially marginalized positions. The central aim of this paper is to aver that there is a need to expand the category of insidious trauma to explore the quotidian traumas of marginalized groups. For this, the paper presents analogous feminist and masculinist understandings of trauma experienced due to individuals’ complex entanglement with the patriarchal discourse. In exploring the notion of insidious trauma through a feminist lens, the paper connects it to the theories of coercive control, patriarchal terrorism, and betrayal trauma. The paper also discusses paradigms of male trauma that concur with the theory of insidious trauma. In this course, the paper presents the historical failure of the diagnosis of male hysteria. It discusses how narrow understandings of masculinity in a patriarchal culture have generated emotionally stunted development in men and foreclosed their avenues to seek help for domestic violence. The paper then posits that expanding Michael Rothberg’s category of the implicated subject provides a way to throw light on how the entire patriarchal social structure is complicit in generating male and female victims of its ideology.
Farklı Düzeylerde Su Kısıntısı Uygulamalarının Kinoa Bitkisinin Bazı Verim Parametreleri Üzerine Etkisi
Authors: TÜFENKÇİ Şefik
Published: February 2023

Kinoa yetiştiriciliği Peru, Ekvator ve Bolivya bölgelerinde uzun yıllardan beridir yapılmaktadır. 2013 yılının FAO tarafından “Dünya kinoa yılı” ilan edilmesi ile beraber kinoa nın üzerindeki ilgi bir anda artış göstermiştir. Bu çalışmada, 5 farklı sulama suyu düzeyinin (tam sulama, %25 kısıt, %50 kısıt, %75 kısıt ve sulanmayan) kinoa bitkisinin bazı verim parametreleri (bitki boyu, dal sayısı, salkım verimi, sap verimi, tohum verimi ve hasat indeksi) üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, bitki boyunun 36.9-66.2 cm, dal sayısının 12.0-19.7 adet/bitki, salkım oranının %81.2-84.2, sap veriminin 330.3-673.3 kg/da, tohum veriminin 153.0-466.7 kg/da ve hasat indeksinin %29.8-41.0 arasında değişiklik gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Sulama suyu kısıntısının kinoa bitkisinin bitki boyu, dal sayısı, sap verimi, tohum verimi ve hasat indeksi üzerine etkisi önemli bulunurken, salkım oranı üzerine etkisi ise önemsiz bulunmuştur. Bütün verim parametrelerinde en yüksek değerler, tam sulama uygulamalarından elde edilirken, sulama suyu kısıntısı arttıkça verim parametrelerindeki değerlerde önemli düzeyde azalışlar görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak kurak ve yarı kurak bölgelerde kinoa yetiştiriciliğinde yüksek verim elde etmek için sulamanın zorunlu olduğu kanaatine varılmıştır.

»All Pedagogical Art is Bad Art – and All Good Art is Pedagogical.« Lennart Hellsing and Swedish School Broadcasting

Lennart Hellsing has often been regarded as one of the modernists of Swedish children’s literature. He distanced himself from art that primarily was didactic: »All pedagogical art is bad art – and all good art is pedagogical,« as he once declared in a famous statement. All the same he made a lot of pedagogical works of art himself: in the 1950s he wrote eleven programs for the Swedish School Broadcasting. This article tries to explain how this was possible – and it will also discuss the result: can his pedagogical programs really be regarded as »bad art« in Hellsing’s meaning of the word? One of his programs, We are building a house, a »musical fairy tale« from 1953, written in cooperation with the composer Lille Bror Söderlundh, is chosen as an example. This program does not only teach the pupils in Swedish schools how to build a house, it also mirrors (and supports) the modernization of Swedish society. One of its intertexts appears to be a song play by Paul Hindemith, one of the most famous composers of the German »neue Sachlichkeit« in the 1920s. However, Hellsing did not only want to teach, it is obvious that he also tried to create what he called »good art,« art that stimulated children’s imagination and made them feel happy. His program is full of (in some cases very modernistic) aesthetic devices, activating the listening children at the same time giving them aesthetic experiences. The reports from the schools also show that the pupils were fascinated by the program: it made them happy and full of joy – just as Hellsing thought »good art« should work. Hellsing should therefore perhaps revise his aphorism; We are building a house seems to show that also pedagogical art can be good art – and that it is possible to combine learning with pleasure.
Litteraturvetenskapen i Sverige

Literary Studies in Sweden: an Analysis of a Confusion of Ideas

The article addresses questions of disciplinary identity within literary scholarship in Sweden. In the first part it is shown in a number of examples how researchers in the Swedish university subject »litteraturvetenskap« – when debating or mentioning »literary scholarship in Sweden« – are identifying this field solely with their own subject, thus neglecting the existence of literary studies at all levels within several other subjects, i. e. the foreign languages: English, German, French etc. In a second part, statistics on the dissertations presented in the field of literary studies during the years 1999–2008 are presented. The statistics show that the majority of these dissertations were in fact presented not in »litteraturvetenskap«, but in foreign languages. In a third part, the absence of both a Scandinavian Literature subject and a Comparative Literature subject in Sweden is discussed. The Swedish/Scandinavian and the general/comparative components are thought to be combined in the subject »litteraturvetenskap«. However, their coexistence in one subject is insufficiently motivated, and the balance between the two is far from ideal. The Swedish component dominates, especially in research. The hegemonic and, at the same time, essentially unclear name »litteraturvetenskap« for the university subject in fact seems to conceal the problems outlined. In the conclusion, a suggestion is made to split »litteraturvetenskap« into one subject for Swedishlanguage or Scandinavian literature and another subject concerned with more general issues, a sort of Comparative Literature subject.
Amitié sincère

Amitié Sincère – a Counter Narrative and a Story of Love Between Women. A Reading of Karen Blixen’s/Isak Dinesen’s »The Roads Round Pisa«

»The Roads Round Pisa« is the opening story in Karen Blixen’s debut work Seven Gothic Tales (1934). It is also one of her most remarkable stories and the one that most openly questions heterosexuality as a road to happiness. Blixen often works with an ironic, intertextual play with other texts, which takes the character of a counter narrative. Early on, both Ellen Moers and the Gothic scholar David Punter saw the connection between Blixen’s interest in the Gothic tradition and a gender critical attitude. In spite of Dinesen’s use of the Gothic this has not played any central role in the Dinesen reception. Modern researchers on the Gothic period, like Cyndy Hendershot, have pointed out how the disruption of stable notions of gender and sexuality is a characteristic of the genre. It is in this respect Blixen’s relation to the Gothic tradition should be investigated. Her texts are full of skeletons and ghosts, and with a focus on the fundamental instability of identity, gender and sexuality.

In this article, which is part of a larger project on Blixen and the Gothic, I argue that, by connecting Blixen again to this disruptive Gothic tradition of transgressing gender we can also change our way of reading her. Where earlier feminist readings have looked for feminist representations in Blixen, I suggest a change of focus, to how intertextual »genre trouble« also produces »gender trouble.« Blixen’s feminism works through criticism and irony. Through a reading of »The Roads Round Pisa«, I will show how the Gothic and the gender criticism work together in an intertextual play with two classical Gothic texts; Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla, to tell a story of love and loyalty between women.
Dialogisk diskursanalyse
Authors: Skaftun Atle
Published: February 2023

A Dialogical Discourse Analysis

The article discusses the increasing gap between literary analysis as scientific practice and as part of the mother tongue education in school, and suggests a dialogical framework as a way of bridging this gap serving the interests of both sides. The university subject is dependent on its relevance for the school context in order to be considered useful in a time of ideological change. The school subject is being thoroughly reformed in line with international conceptions of skill and key competencies that the individual needs in order to achieve full citizenship. In Norway the status of literary art in school is challenged by a rhetoric of the real in curriculum and educational discourse. The article addresses this challenge in an attempt to rethink the functions of literary art in school without reference to traditional arguments like aesthetic experience or national cultural identity. Bakhtins dialogism is the basis for suggesting dialogical discourse analysis as a method for literary analysis in scientific as well as in school contexts. This method calls for a consistent focus on relations between discursive positions in general and questions concerning utterances and dialogizing background in particular. Working with literature with a focus on relations between voices in the text is a way of promoting consciousness of how humans relates to each other as language users, how an utterance acquires its meaning against a dialogizing background, and how we all continuously are involved in discourses that shape what is possible to say and how it will be understood.
Fokus på fiktionen stoppar mordet på Mozart!
Authors: Torell Örjan
Published: February 2023

How to Stop the Constant Killing of Mozart by Focusing Fictionality

This text is a slightly expanded version of a conference speech, delivered at the University of Umeå 2010-10-14. My purpose is to point out the didactic potential of Aristotle’s mimesis theory, and in particular the idea that the human ability to create fictional worlds constitutes a special way of understanding reality (or rather the notions of reality that we are provided with by our senses and rational thinking). This idea is seen as a prerequisite of the exceptionally dialogic character of Russian literary theory from Potebnya to Bakhtin, and in order to show what that dialogic attitude really means, the contrary formalistic position of Boris Shklovsky – and especially his inability to understand the Aristotelian standpoint of Potebnya – is discussed in some detail. Proposing literary transfer as a modern key to dialogic reading, I try to illustrate what it might contribute even to a super reading of Homer like the one Erich Auerbach carries through in his Mimesis. Finally, I point out, with examples from French scholar Jean-Marie Schaeffer, how make-believe-theory can help to restore the reader as a human being and the literary text as a work of art – and thereby to stop the still on-going killing of Mozart that the Russian formalists, according to Bakhtin (in his – or Mevedev’s? – »Scholarly Salierism«) committed themselves to so long ago.
Electron modelling in conjunction witch vacuum modelling
Authors: Pavliuk Leonid
Published: February 2023

Relevance. The relevance of the study and the corresponding results is based on the need for digital transfer of scientific physical and mathematical devices for modelling the studied objects and phenomena of the real world into a digital programme environment, which forms a powerful research tool with the possibility of multi-reading and multi-vector calculation and forecasting of the nature and qualities of simulated elements of the physical world with a different scientifically based configuration of the initial data. The quality and reliability of digital models depend on the quality and completeness of consideration of various physical aspects in the simulated research objects and phenomena. Therefore, it is appropriate and relevant to formulate the initial iteration of digital transfer – the creation of a dependence-correlation apparatus. The second aspect that confirms the relevance of the current study is the fact that there is no integral model of the electron: currently, the world scientific community knows models describing individual characteristics and elements of the studied elementary particle, but there are no models describing the electron as an integral object.

Purpose. The purpose of the study is to develop a model of an electron associated with a simulated vacuum using appropriate analogue models from recognised fundamental studies.

Methodology. The study uses the methods of analogue Dirac models, spinor field models, the six-dimensional space-time model of the Bartini world, and the Planck oscillator model.

Results. Based on the results of experiments and physical and mathematical transformations in the current study, by integrating elements of the Ehrenfest paradox theory into the above models and basic elements of physical science, a complete model of the electron was formulated, which not only received a description of spatial and energy characteristics, but also allowed assessing the oetiological and morphological features of the development of the elementary particle, and individual physical and correlation dependencies were established.

Conclusions. First, the Hubble constant is necessary as a vacuum parameter in modelling elementary particles; second, the Hubble constant is included in the equation of the classical electron radius; and third, based on model calculations, the hypothesis of differences between the electron, muon, and tauon is proposed
Research of spallation reaction on plutonium target irradiated by protons with energy of 660 MeV
Authors: Tanchak Anhelina , Katovsky Karel , Haysak Ivan , Adam Jindrich , Holomb Robert
Published: February 2023

Relevance. This paper describes the measurement of the cross sections of the fission and fragmentation reactions of a plutonium target irradiated with a series of protons characterized by an energy of 660 MeV at the Phazotron accelerator of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research.

Purpose. The experiment focuses on the determination of short-lived radionuclides.

Methods. The experimental sample was measured in offline mode using gamma spectrometry with HPGe detector. The reaction rates of the formed residual nuclei were studied. The products of spallation reaction were determined with the help of the direct kinematics method. The DEIMOS32 software was used to process γ-spectra.

Results. As a result of the interaction of nuclear elements with protons, nuclei were formed in the 239Pu sample. Those nuclei were identified using the TJ02000321–V3 software. The reaction products were identified based on gamma energies, intensity and half-life after the measurement set. During the study of the gamma spectra determined for the irradiated plutonium target, it was possible to establish 50 gamma lines and reveal 31 nuclides by energy and half-life cycles from 14.4 m to 3.19 h. The measured nuclear reaction cross-sections can serve as reference data for theoretical simulations of the interaction of protons with 239Pu and they can be a supplement to the nuclear databases.

Conclusions. The obtained experimental result is compared with the simulation on MCNP 6.1. The data overall correspond to the expected range, but it still needs more evaluation. The next logical step is to search for primary products (mother nuclei) and compare the obtained experimental data with the results of computer simulations

Aim: Esthetic rehabilitation of an orbital defect with an orbital prosthesis using modified anatomic mode of retention. Background: Orbital deficits can result from neoplasms, infections or trauma. These defects lead to functional as well as esthetic disablement. Prosthetic rehabilitation plays a vital role as an alternative to surgical reconstruction in such cases, as an orbital prosthesis provides a non-invasive, cost friendly and esthetically predictable approach. Retaining an orbital prosthesis within the defect can be accomplished by various means such as use of implants, adhesives or anatomic undercuts. Engaging anatomic undercuts in the defect ensures a practical, trouble-free, cost-effective, and successful approach. Case Description: In this clinical report we have discussed a simplified approach to improve the retention of an orbital prosthesis through incorporation of an “acrylic plug” within the prosthesis. Conclusion: Conventional methods of retention of an orbital prosthesis can be improved and modified depending upon the anatomic and structural attributes of the defect. Clinical Significance: Conventional retention of an orbital prosthesis can be enhanced in a cost effective and time efficient manner as compared to implant supported prosthesis.

Published: February 2023

Avoiding attacks is clearly better than suffering, or even overcoming attacks. Here we discuss the signalling ways by which galls (i.e., gall-inducers) may defend themselves from damage by avoiding attacks. Many colourful galls that are simultaneously chemically and/or physically defended, and/or omit repelling odours fulfilling the general criteria to be tentatively considered as aposematic. It has been shown experimentally that chemically defended galls also emit volatiles that repel relevant herbivores. Thus, both visual and olfactory gall traits may serve as adaptive signals that have been usually overlooked. It is also highly probable that the conspicuous colours (red, yellow) of many galls may also serve physiological functions, such as defence from reactive-oxygen production, from UV, and from excess visible light, or serve other, unknown functions. The certain role of camouflage (especially by being green), in defence from enemies, thus potentially increasing a gall-inducers’ fitness, was not given the attention it deserves. Detailed comparative and especially experimental studies on the adaptive role of gall shape, colouration and odours can further shed light on these phenomena.
Fiscal and monetary policy coordination and debt sustainability in the CEMAC zone: Evidence from a Markov regime-switching model
Authors: Makala Ulrich Ekouala
Published: February 2023

This paper investigates the nature of fiscal and monetary policy implemented in the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) and its impact on long-run debt sustainability. The study employs a two-state Markov regime-switching model to the fiscal and monetary policy reaction functions of the six CEMAC countries using time series data from 1970 to 2020. The fiscal regime is regarded as active if the coefficient of debt is positive, while it is considered passive if the coefficient is negative and significant. Regarding monetary policy, an active regime is reported if the coefficient of inflation is positive; otherwise, the monetary policy regime is regarded as passive. In addition, the transition probability and time-varying transition probability are estimated to assess the nature of policy-mix coordination. The findings highlight unsustainable fiscal regimes in Equatorial Guinea and Chad, balanced results for Gabon and Congo, while Cameroon and the Central African Republic have sustainable fiscal regimes. Concerning monetary policy, a sustainable monetary regime is found for Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea, with balanced results for Congo, while evidence of an unsustainable monetary regime is found for the Central African Republic, Chad, and Gabon.
The Global Outbreak of Monkeypox: Enhancing Public Health Preparedness
Authors:   The University of Texas at El Paso, El Paso, TX 79968, USA., Md Mohsin
Published: February 2023

The monkeypox (MPX) outbreak has been declared a public health emergency by WHO and the U.S. The zoonotic disease with a similar appearance to smallpox named Monkeypox (MPX) has started to reappear and spread globally in recent times although it was endemic to Africa for decades. It has already spread to 88 countries (81 non-endemic) and infected about 30,000 people. Touching an infected individual who has rashes, scabs, body fluids, or lesions on their skin is the most common way to catch and spread monkeypox. The global health system is already substantially exhausted because of the high volume of Covid-19 patients and is unprepared to execute fast response and emergency interventions to combat a new outbreak. Educating general people and health care workers, creating mass awareness, and preparing public health sectors globally are crucial to controlling the MPX outbreak and avoiding another potential pandemic.

Malignant rhabdoid tumors of the kidney (MRTs) are extremely rare tumors often found in children under 2 years old and even more are in adults with fewer than 10 cases of MRT of the kidney reported in adults. To date, there is no established standard of care for MRTs due to paucity of cases. The present study reports a case of a 21 year-old African American male with a past medical history of sickle cell trait who was found to have MRTs in bilateral kidneys with characteristic clinicopathological features and early onset metastasis. This case of a 21 year-old presents to be the youngest case of MRT present in adults, expanding the previously reported range of 32 to 79 years in adults and reinforcing the importance of recognizing MRTs in a broad range of the adult population.

A 42 year old gentleman who had a recto-sigmoid carcinoma and was operated six months ago presented with a fungating lesion at the right iliac fossa region. The fungating lesion was about 5x5 cm in size with contact bleeding. The patient defaulted his chemotherapy regime and claimed that the lesion grew in size progressively over the time. Onfuther examination we noted that the lesion was originating from the previous blake drain site that was inserted during the first operation. Biopsy of the lesion done and it confirms that it is adenocarcinoma from the colon. The patient was subjected to CT scan for re-staging and was referred to the oncology team for further management. This is a rare occasion where the tumor recur from the drain site probably due to tumor seeding from the previous operation.
From Predilection to Election (Narrative Reading of Gen 21,1-21)
Authors:   University of Santo Tomas, Padilla III, OP Wenifredo
Published: February 2023

As an example of how to read a biblical text using narrative criticism, this article demonstrates the beauty of reading Gen 21,1-21 as a narrative unit. Read as such, the writer’s creative presentation of the movement from human predilection on the part of Abraham and Sarah to the divine election of Isaac as the promised heir resolves the common perception of a division between Gen 21,1-8 (the story of the weaning of Isaac) and Gen 21,9-21 (the story of the expulsion of Isaac).
God Lives on the Margins
Authors: Goh Jeffrey
Published: February 2023

Rather than seeing God residing in centres of power and might, or in offices of the institutionally-acclaimed holy, or amongst the blessed rich and influential, this article proposes the thesis of God living on the margins and inviting all to the periphery of what is considered decent society for a grace-filled living. Combining academic articulation with pastoral insight through narrative account, the reality of the marginal existence of God is unpacked in five sections. The first section narrates a personal journey of being turned around at an encounter with those living on the margins, creating a crisis-intersection and compelling life-changing decisions. Second, is the scholarly research in Leuven and an articulation aligned to Lindbeck’s intratexture narrative preference. Third, is the pastoral engagement phase that affirms the character of the God of the margins. The fourth section turns to the scriptural witness of compassion as the modality of the God of the margins. Finally, the article draws on paradigmatic and catalytic stories for communal growth towards a posture of compassion.

Inequality in Life Expectancy-Acceleration due to COVID-19
Authors: Matin Khan A.
Published: February 2023

The study of inequality in life expectancy by socio-economic groups has been receiving more and more attention with the rise in inequality. The present study investigates the prevailing situation in Bangladesh by using the age-specific mortality data available from various sources like the Sample Vital Registration System(SVRS) of the BBS and the Bangladesh Maternal Mortality Survey. The BBS, however, has been presenting a life table by sex, and there is a disparity in life expectancy in favour of females presently by three years. Rural life expectancy was lower in Bangladesh from 1981-to 2014, after which it exhibited that the difference in rural and urban life expectancy is being narrowed down. In India, the life expectancy at birth is slightly more than one year higher in urban areas than in rural areas. Life expectancy at birth was computed for seven regions (administrative divisions) using the age-specific mortality rates given in SVRS reports. For the year 2016, the highest value of life expectancy at birth (73.9 years) was found for the Rajshahi division, followed by Khulna division(73.5 years), Rangpur(73.0 years), Barisal(72.8 years), Sylhet(72.6 years) and the lowest for Chattogram division(72.1 years). We also compared the life expectancy and Household average income of the administrative divisions as obtained in the HIES 2016. No systematic relationship between household income and life expectancy was observed. Analysing the mortality of BMMCHS between 2010 and 2016, the life expectancy increased with the increase in wealth quintile for both males and females. The difference in life expectancy between the richest and poorest quintile of the male was 3.37 years, and for females, it was 1.34 years. But the much higher difference in life expectancy at birth between the richest and poorest quintile has been observed in other countries like India, the United Kingdom, the United States and Norway.

The enterprises, which are small and medium-sized (SMEs), are the backbone of the industrial sector of the overall economy in Bangladesh. This sector plays an essential role in spreading the economy of any country. The SMEs sector’s most significant role is invaluable to eliminating poverty in any country like Bangladesh. But it is impossible to reduce poverty in the Covid-19 pandemic situation. The main objective of this research is to inquire about the economic impact of Covid-19 on SMEs in Cumilla. It is too early to find the impact of COVID-19 impressions on different aspects of the economy. In Bangladesh, SMEs have been experiencing a brutal impact; as such, the motivation of the study is to increase insight relating to what is experienced by SMEs and how they are handling it. This study used a method of primary data of descriptive analysis acquired by the questionnaire method. Using the structural equation model, we find Covid-19 badly hampered the economy. So those governments need to invest essential effects for mobilisation and efficient reallocation of resources through assistance of Banks and other nonbanks economic instructions. Unemployment decreased economic growth speed, and social insecurity might come to light that prevails in future. Moreover, new technologies need to be used to reduce the harmful impacts. Public awareness programs should be organised.
