Background. The use of microorganisms in agriculture, such as Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Azospirillum brasilense and soybean cultivation together with nitrogen fertilization, may be interesting alternatives to increase crop yield. The soybean with the use of Azospirillum brasilense, together with Bradyrhizobium bacteria, in a current approach aimed at agricultural, economic, social and environmental sustainability. Objective. To evaluate the influence of the application of different doses of Azospirillum brasilense on co-inoculation with Bradyrhizobium japonicum in the soybean crop, in the first and third year of cultivation. Methodology. The experiment was carried out in the municipality of Alta Floresta - MT, Brazil, in the harvest of 2016/2017. The treatments consisted of the combination of four doses (0, 2, 4, 8 mL kg-1 of seeds) of the commercial product Nitrogeo AZ®, composed of Azospirillum brasilense, with 4 replicates. For the standard inoculant the commercial product Nitrogeo Soja Turfa® was used Bradyrhizobium japonicum, with a dose of 3.2 g kg-1 of seeds. Height of first pod insertion, plant height, number of pods per plant, mass of one thousand grains, productivity and leaf content of nitrogen were analyzed. Results. There was an increasing in both grain yield and thousand grains weight in the treatments with Azospirillum brasilense. Higher plants with a higher number of pods were found in the area of the 3rd year of cultivation, compared to the area of the 1st year, however, the co-inoculant doses did not influence this variable. The highest grain yield was obtained with the use of 338 mL of commercial product per 50 kg of seeds. Conclusion. The use of these bacteria (Azospirillum with Bradyrhizobium) together contributes to increase productivity in the soybean crop.

Published: May 2023

Background. Cascading effects through tritrophic interactions (microorganisms, plants, herbivores) are basic components in ecosystems that are often influenced by force from bottom up or top down. One of the most important cases is the fixation of nitrogen through growth promoting bacteria of PGPR plants, which can alter the cascading effects in superior trophic interactions, through physical and chemical changes in the plants. Bacteria as growth promoters not only participate in growth, they are also considered the best biological control agents since they have the potential to suppress pathogenic microorganisms and induce systemic resistance against pest insects. Objective. This study aims to evaluate the contribution of the inoculation of the Rhizobium etli nitrogen fixing bacteria in the growth of Phaseolus vulgaris and the oviposition and preference of Bemisia tabaci. Methodology. Bean plants were established on sterilized soil, two batches of plants were formed: plants inoculated with R. etli and non-inoculated (control) plants. In the first experiment, were measured plant growth and characteristics related to defense against phytophages. In the second experiment, the preference and oviposition of Bemisia tabaci was evaluated by free choice and non-choice tests. Results. Inoculation with R. etli favored some specific growth characteristics, such as leaf area and root length. Phytophagous defense variables, as well as adult preference and oviposition of B. tabaci were not different between inoculated and non-inoculated plants. Implications. The main limitation of the use of PGPR depends on the type of soil and the variety of beans, so this inoculant could also be tested in cases where it has been proven that there is low natural colonization of Rhizobium in Phaseolus lunatus L. during its growth. Conclusion. Inoculation increased some growth variables; however, it did not affect the oviposition and preference of Bemisia tabaci. Additional work is required to assess the effects of factors, such as bean variety, synergy among rhizobacteria species, natural resistance of the host plant, environmental conditions and soil types.

Published: May 2023

Background: Mexico has having since 1940 governmental programs to increase maize productivity without fully achieve their objectives, and one of the critics has been don´t consider the heterogeneity of Mexican farm households cultivating it and their gaps, considering a binomial model of commercial and subsistence agriculture. Productivity gaps have been studied focusing on yield differences between optimal and real conditions. Objective: This paper elaborates on productivity gaps of 3391 maize farm households from the Central and South part of Mexico, taking into account their diversity, adding social and functional elements. Methodology: The variables were divided into structural, functionals and social, and were analyzed by the multivariate method of principal components analysis. Results: Five type were found, with significant differences between them. The major productivity gaps were between Commercial Mechanized farm households and the rest of the types, they have access to better productive assets (6 ). In second place, the Subsistence farm households with women participation, presented the lowest yields (1 ), explained by less productive assets and by social attributes (women and indigenous). Between both types are the other types, with similar assets but social differences: the Low Mechanized farm households cultivate in the tropics using a half modernized farming system ( ), the Semi-commercial farm households with Elder Families (2.5  and Farm households with Diversified Income (2.3 . Implications: This evidenced the inappropriate bimodal agriculture vision persisting in policy designing, because several types of farms can explain the limited historical programs outputs focus on maize productivity. Conclusion: This study concludes indicating that maize productivity in Mexico is not only affected by the processes of agriculture modernization, but also by other social processes.

Published: May 2023

Background. The worldwide market and consumption of pomegranate fruit (Punica granatum L.) has grown considerably, due to its nutraceutical properties, with a high antioxidant content, generating favorable effects for human health. In Colombia some semi-commercial crops are reported in the departments of Boyacá, Huila and Valle del Cauca. However, it is unknown about its productive behavior, management practices, physiology, development of the phenological stages and pomological characteristics of fruits of native genotypes. Objective. Conduct a review of the aspects related to the crop of pomegranate, analyze possible limitations for its production in Colombia and present information on the pomological characteristics of pomegranate plants grown in home gardens in two regions of Colombia. Methodology. Information was collected from documentary sources related to recommendations applicable to pomegranate cultivation in Colombia. A pomological characterization of fruits of native genotypes from two different agro-ecological zones of the national territory was made. Results. Native genotypes have similar pomological characteristics, but differ considerably from commercial genotypes, the latter being superior in accordance with market requirements for export. Implications. The low technical knowledge on the part of the farmers allows that there are deficiencies in the management of limitations of this crop. Conclusions. The recommendations set forth, complemented with pomological characterization, generate knowledge that can be implemented by producers in Colombia. More research is required if the crop is to be projected as a promising economic alternative to the region.

Published: May 2023

Background. Soil health assessment has been based on narrow disciplinary approaches that overlook the multiple and interacting biological processes that are the basis of sustainable crop productivity. Objective. Determine the influence of seasonal variations in nematode assemblages in different soil groups, sites and disturbance levels as an indicator of soil health. Methodology. Sampling was done in areas characterized by small scale subsistence agriculture in Kenyan Northern sites and Southern sites over three distinct seasons. The sampling points included disturbed (tilled) and the adjoining undisturbed (untilled) soils within three soil groups, namely Vertisols, Cambisols and Arenosols. Nematodes were extracted using the centrifugal-floatation technique, enumerated and assigned to their respective trophic groups. Results. Total nematode abundance in the three seasons varied significantly (p ≤ 0.05) with a mean of 68, 93 and 52 nematodes in 200 cm3 of soil in seasons I, II and III, respectively. Nematodes abundance in the undisturbed soils was significantly higher (98) compared to the disturbed soils (62) nematodes per 200 cm3). Mean abundance of nematodes was highest in Cambisols. In addition, nematode abundances, in all trophic levels across the three seasons, were significantly higher (p≤0.05) in the northern compared to the southern sites. Bacterivores (28%) had the highest percentage frequency of detection followed by herbivores (27%) and fungivores (21%) while omnivores (11%) had the least. Implications. Nematode communities do respond variably to different soil groups and seasonal changes. Conclusion.  Nematodes can therefore be utilized as viable bio-indicators of soil health and quality.

Authors: Sanchez-Velazquez Juan Ubaldo , Pacheco Neith , Lopez-Puc Guadalupe , Ramos-Díaz Ana Luisa
Published: May 2023

Background. The morphological characterizations and varietal descriptions of Jatropha curcas do not consider all morphological variability of this species. The phenotypes of J. curcas that have been described represent only a part of the variability of this species, making it difficult to distinguish between accessions based on morphological traits. Objective. Propose a method to assign trait states to discriminate between accessions based on their phenotype, and to evaluate the efficiency of these phenotypes as morphological traits. Methodology. Thirteen morphological traits were selected, and trait states were assigned according to their variability. Implications. The results show that some traits, such as the number of male flowers and the ratio of male to female flowers provide redundant information, while other traits do not provide information with enough discriminatory power. By other hand, trait associated with the frequency of one, two, three or four seeds per fruit set the pattern for the identification of phenotypes. Conclusion. The proposed method allowed to use the variability of traits as a descriptor without limiting the use of morphological traits not included in this work.

Published: May 2023

Background. Azolla Lam., a mosquito fern, is invasive in major rice growing Schemes in Kenya, where it clogs irrigation canals and forms dense mats in paddy fields.  However, the species of Azolla has not been established.  Objective.  to characterize Azolla accessions collected from six major rice Irrigation Schemes in Kenya: Mwea, Ahero, West Kano, Bunyala, Taveta and TARDA. Methodology. Azolla accessions were collected, grown for 10 days at Mwea Irrigation Agricultural Development Centre (MIAD) and their vegetative traits examined microscopically using 13 Pereira’s morphological characters. The vegetative characteristics were evaluated on a binary 0/1 system, pairwise similarity was estimated using Jaccard’s coefficient (S1)and a dendrogram generated. Genomic DNA was extracted from each of the accessions, amplified with SCAR primers and amplified products resolved and scored using agarose gels. Polymorphic SCAR markers were identified and correlated to the accessions. Results. Nine vegetative characters useful for distinguishing between the two Azolla sub-genera (Euazolla and Rhizosperma) and the seven Azolla species were examined. Possession of hook-like, septate glochidia suggested the presence of Azolla filiculoides in TARDA1 accession. The presence of pinnate sporophyte with septate rhizome papillae and fronts measuring 2-4 cm with 2-4 cm long roots and lack of anthocyanin suggested the presence of Azolla nilotica for TARDA 2 and Taveta 2 accessions. SCAR marker based 490 bp primers that identify with A. filiculoides also amplified Mwea and Taveta 1 accessions to give a distinct band. Implications. Results suggest the existence of Azolla nilotica and Azolla filiculoides among the Kenyan accessions. Conclusion. Azolla filiculoides and Azolla nilotica are the two main Azolla species characterized in the major Irrigation Schemes in Kenya. Of the two species, Azolla filiculoides has infested four of the Kenya irrigation schemes (Mwea, Ahero, Bunyala, Tana River and West Kano), while Azolla nilotica exists only in Taveta and TARDA.

Background. The CO2 emission flow from the soil, known as soil respiration, is an important pathway in the global carbon cycle. Objective. Thus, the objective of the present was to determine the variation of CO2 emissions according to a) different management before, during and after grazing by cattle; b) influence of environmental and soil factors on emissions, as well as c) adjust a model and assess its sensitivity to dimension the applicability in soil respiration behavior. Methodology. The soil respiration was measured every 30 min for 312 hours followed by a closed dynamic chamber of known volume placed on the floor, integrated with an infrared gas analyzer (Model 8100-104). Results. The results indicate that the total emissions in each management were 228, 128 and 241 kg CO2 ha-1 day-1 in an agroforestry system with fruit trees before, during and after grazing, respectively. The ambient temperature influences the respiration of the soil in the three ways. While soil moisture affects only during and after grazing. Implications. Since the results are limited, it is important to evaluate and analyze for long periods of time to understand the behavior of the R in agroforestry systems. Conclusion. In the sensitivity analysis, the increase of 2 ° C and 20% in variables such as precipitation, soil temperature and soil moisture would favor the increase of the CO2 flow from the soil to the atmosphere.

Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devleti’nin kuruluşu diğer yandan vatanın yeniden inşası, yeni kurulan devletle birlikte her alanda gerçekleştirilen inkılap hareketleriyle uygulamaya konulmuştur. Eğitim bu inkılapların başında ilk sırada yer almıştır. Çünkü Osmanlı Devletinden devralınan toplumsal mirasta ülke genelinde eğitim seviyesi oldukça düşüktür. Bunun için ülke genelinde büyük bir eğitim hamlesi başlatılmıştır. Bu dönemde Misak-ı Maarif genelgesi, Birinci Heyeti İlmiye toplantısı, yabancı uzmanların ülkeye davet edilmesi gibi eğitim alanında yapılmaya çalışılan faaliyetler ve Tevhidi Tedrisat Kanunu’nun kabulü ile değişimin ilk köklü adımları atılmıştır. Merkezde başlatılan bu hamlelere ilave olarak, taşrada eğitim seviyesini yükseltmek için de önemli adımlar atılmaya başlanmıştır.

Bu çalışmada Denizli ilinin nüfus, ekonomi ve eğitim açısından önemli ilçelerinden birisi olan Çal’da, Cumhuriyetin ilk yıllarındaki eğitim alanında yaşanan gelişmelerin yansımaları tespit edilmeye çalışılacaktır. Çal Belediyesi arşivinde bulunan, daha önce tamamı değerlendirilmeyen ve 1923-1927 yıllarına ait orijinal belgelerden yola çıkılarak hazırlanan makalede çalışmanın özgünlüğü açısından önemlidir. Yerel tarih okumaları üzerinden genel tarihi anlamlandırmanın daha öğretici ve kalıcı olacağı inancı temelinde bu çalışma kaleme alınmıştır

Published: May 2023

Amaç: Altı Sigma, klinik laboratuvardaki testlerin performansının izlenmesinde ve iyileştirilmesinde yardımcı olan bir kalite yönetim aracıdır. Kalite hedefi indeksi (quality goal index, QGI) oranı, doğruluk ve kesinlik ile ilgili kalite hedeflerini karşılama durumunu gösterir. Bu çalışmada, Avrupa Dış Kalite Değerlendirme Birliği (European Society for External Quality Assessment, ESFEQA) toplam izin verilen hata (TEa) değerlerini kullanarak tam kan sayımı testleri için sigma değerlerini ve kalite hedefi indeks oranlarını hesaplamayı amaçladık.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamız Marmara Üniversitesi Pendik Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Biyokimya Laboratuvarı Hematoloji Ünitesinde retrospektif olarak yapıldı. Testlerin %bias, %CV, TEa değerleri ile Sigma = (TEa - bias)/CV ve QGI= Bias/1.5 CV formülleri kullanılarak hesaplamalar yapıldı.

Bulgular: Testlerin sigma düzeyleri ve QGI oranları değerlendirildi. Kullanılan internal kalite kontrol materyallerine göre WBC (tüm seviyeler), RBC (seviye 3), hemoglobin (seviye 2), hematokrit (seviye 2 ve 3), MCV (seviye 2 ve 3) parametrelerinin belirtilen örnekler için performansları >6 sigma ile ideal olarak değerlendirildi. RBC ve hemoglobin parametrelerinin 1.düzey kalite kontrol örneği için performansı ≥3-<4 sigma ile iyi değil olarak kabul edildi. Sigma düzeyi<5 olan parametreler içinde QGI değerleri <0.8 olanlar (RBC 1. ve 2.seviye, Hb 1.seviye) kesinlik hatası, QGI oranı >1.2 olanlar (PLT 1.seviye) doğruluk hatası olarak değerlendirildi. Hematokrit testinde 1.seviye kalite kontrol örneği için hesaplanan 0.8-1.2 arasındaki QGI değeri hem kesinlik hem de doğruluk hatası olarak yorumlandı.

Sonuç: Çalışmamız, sigma değerlerinin ve QGI oranının, hematoloji laboratuvarının analitik performansını değerlendirmek ve iyileştirmek için kaliteli bir araç olduğunu göstermektedir.

Published: May 2023

There is a growing need for research training programs that can accelerate the careers of clinical and translational scientists. The Clinical and Translational Science Award KL2 Scholars programs funded by the National Institutes of Health support the research and training of junior faculty advancing towards independent research careers. This study evaluates the impact of KL2 funding on participants' subsequent receipt of a Research Project Grant (R01) award, which represent a commonly referenced milestone of progress faculty make towards independence. Propensity score matching was used to compare the number of months KL2 scholars took to receive an R01 award with that of an equivalent group of early career faculty who did not receive KL2 funding. Although the participants in the KL2 Scholars Program who received an R01 award did so sooner than those in similar programs, more rigorous and longitudinal evaluations are needed to measure the impact of these programs on faculty careers considered overall.

Renewable Energy for Sustainable Development Goal of Clean and Affordable Energy
Authors: Kumar Sunil , Rathore Kavita
Published: May 2023

Energy demand has grown rapidly with increase of global population. Surge in energy consumption is mainly driven by both economic and technological advancement. The conventional fossil fuels sources (coal, oil, and natural gas) and nuclear energy are depleting in nature known as non-renewables. Burning of fossil fuels contribute significant amount of greenhouse gases emissions, which negatively impact the global ecosystem. Access to energy is essential for modern civilization, yet we must seek alternative energy sources to protect our planet by controlling the emissions. Capturing harmful Green House Gases (GHG) with the help of advanced technologies helps reduce the risk to some extent. However, alternative energy sources must be renewable and sustainable. Renewable energy resources vary by geographical location and include solar, wind, hydro, and bioenergy, among others. The most appealing primary benefits of renewable energy include its low environmental impact, consistent availability even in challenging weather conditions, and its effectiveness in reducing pollution. Additionally, renewable energy contributes to economic growth, fosters job creation, and enhances energy security. However, there are challenges associated with renewable energy storage, which scientists are actively working to address. In addition, public opposition for the installation of renewable energy infrastructure also create difficulties. Increasing public education and awareness regarding the advantages of renewable energy can assist increasing the acceptability, which can further help policymakers in making well-informed decisions. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of diverse renewable energy sources and their current advancements in development. This review further finds that effective government policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, coupled with improved technology and storage solutions, the adoption of renewable energy will expand significantly in the coming years.

Authors: Aung Thin Thin , Ta Venkata Pavan , D.R. Eunice
Published: May 2023

Background and Aims: The estimation of standard spirometric measurements needs to measure a participant’s non-mutated standing height. Even so, as a direct consequence of physical impairment, traumatic amputation, as well as other structural deformities or neuromuscular disablement, a few patients referred for lung function assessment cannot stand. Materials and methods: The study involved 202 participants and consist of two elements that are data collection and data analysis. There were four types of data: standing height measurement, arm span measurement, sitting height measurement and predicted pulmonary function, including forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume (FEV1), which was studied based on correlational analysis. Results: The study shows a positive, linear solid correlation between arm span and standing height measure in centimetre with an R-value of 0.919. There is a positive moderate linear correlation between arm span and sitting height measure in centimetre with an R-value of 0.604. Sitting height and standing height has a positive, strong linear correlation with an R-value of 0.744. For the pulmonary function test, a positive, strong linear correlation between Forced Vital Capacity prediction using sitting height and Forced Vital Capacity prediction using standing height with an R-value of 0.710. There was a positive moderate linear correlation between Forced Expiratory Volume prediction using sitting height and Forced Expiratory Volume prediction using standing height with an R-value of 0.577. The relationship between forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume predicted value of a pulmonary function using arm span and forced vital capacity with forced expiratory volume predicted value of a pulmonary function using standing height shows a positive, strong linear correlation with forced vital capacity R-value of pulmonary function 0.950 and forced expiratory volume R-value of 0.938. Conclusion: Overall, based on the obtained results of the study, it has been proven that the arm span measurement would be the most compatible alternative measure to be used instead of standing height in the case of a patient with permanent disability or incapacitated for clinical purposes and pulmonary function test compared to sitting height.

Published: May 2023

The incidence of breast cancer in Asian countries is continuously rising, with breast cancer-causing anincrease in mortality among Asian women. The impact of low screening uptake is a matter of concern as inmost cases, cancers have been diagnosed in the advanced stages where medical intervention is not curablebut only intended to improve the quality of care. Therefore, there has been comprehensive advocacy forearly detection and treatment of breast cancer as a strategy to mitigate breast cancer-related morbidityand mortality rates. This paper reviewed existing research on breast cancer screening and the factors thatare associated with breast cancer screening among Asian women. The findings from numerous studiesconducted in Asian countries provides evidence that the number of factors such as socio-demographiccharacteristics, knowledge on breast cancer, including its symptoms and risk factors as well as breastcancer screening modalities, beliefs or perceptions and barriers in terms of structural, psychological,cultural and social factors influences women's adherence to the preventive health promotive behaviour -breast cancer screening. These findings direct to the need for well-planned strategies and intervention thatare culturally sensitive and specifically tailored to the needs of Asian women to successfully promote andadvocate the importance of breast health, early detection of breast cancer and adoption of dynamic routinescreening behaviours.

Materials and method: A cross-sectional study was conducted amongst students from June to November 2019. A total of 251 students were approached to participate in this study. The questionnaire was validated using Cronbach's alpha (0.707) and distributed online socio-demographic and KAP questions. The data was collected and analysed by using IBM SPSS version 23. Result: Most of the participants were of the Malay race (64.1%). A total of 65.7% of participants were non-medical students from this study population. Analysis of KAP towards the comparison of study level was found to be significant at knowledge (p< 0.05) only, however, overall analysis towards the comparison of both race and faculties were not significant (p>0.05). The Chi-Square correlation test indicates that proper antibiotics usage against the attitude amongst MSU students was found to be significant(p<0.05), while the proper antibiotics usage against knowledge and practices were found not significant(p>0.05). Conclusion: The level of KAP of antibiotics usage among MSU students present an association educational background only. Further research should be done to find several factors affecting the KAP of antibiotic usage amongst university students.

Los humedales son considerados ecosistemas muy importantes y fácilmente vulnerables por el ser humano. El objetivo de este estudio fue caracterizar microbiológicamente el cuerpo de agua del humedal de Huasao, Oropesa de la ciudad del Cusco. Se realizaron muestreos en dos épocas del año 2022 (sequía y lluvias). Se cuantificaron coliformes totales, Enterococcus faecalis, y Escherichia coli; además, se determinó presencia o ausencia de Vibrio spp. en seis puntos de muestreos. Los resultados se compararon con los estándares peruanos de Calidad Ambiental para el Agua (ECA). Se utilizó Mann-Whitney para la variable temporada y Kruskal-Wallis, para el punto de muestreo. La mayoría de los parámetros evaluados sobrepasaban los estándares, por lo que la presencia de microorganismos patógenos generaría un efecto negativo en la salud pública local.

Published: May 2023

La expansión de un cultivo resaltante demanda la evaluación de la aptitud del territorio. Dada la importancia del cultivo de papa en Apurímac, se seleccionaron seis criterios (temperatura media, precipitación anual, elevación, pendiente del terreno, cobertura y uso del suelo, y pH del suelo) para evaluar la aptitud agroecológica del territorio; para lo cual, se establecieron los umbrales de aptitud de los criterios, y se generaron sus respectivos mapas. También, basado en consulta a expertos y el Proceso de Jerarquía Analítica, se sopesó la importancia de los criterios. Luego, se generó el mapa de aptitud del territorio para el cultivo de papa mediante superposición ponderada de los mapas de criterios. La temperatura fue el criterio más importante para el cultivo de papa, mientras que, la pendiente del terreno fue el menos importante. En Apurímac, el 2,4 % (505.18 km2) del territorio presentó aptitud ‘Altamente adecuada’ para el cultivo de papa. A nivel de provincias, Chincheros (303.40 km2), Andahuaylas (81.75 km2) y Aymares (72.80 km2) presentan las mayores superficies con aptitud ‘Altamente adecuada’. El estudio brindará apoyo para la toma de decisiones en torno a la expansión agrícola de papa y el ordenamiento territorial en Apurímac.
Cost and Profit Efficiency Analysis of Commercial Banks in Bangladesh Using Stochastic Frontier Approach
Authors: Nawaz Md. Asif , Khan Tasneema
Published: May 2023

This study aims to measure the efficiency of the commercial banksin Bangladesh using the Battese and Coelli (1995) model of Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) approach. This is a widely used one-stepmodel, which allows for the estimation of bank efficiencyby taking the inefficiency-effecting exogenous factors into account. Using an unbalanced panel of 287 observations from 32 banks for the period 2011-2020, we found that on average the commercial banks are 91.64% cost-efficient and 79.21% profit-efficient and both cost and profit efficiency decreased during the COVID-19 period. Furthermore, we found that-private banks are more cost and profit efficient than state-owned banks; foreign banks are more profit-efficient but less cost-efficient than domestic banks;banks established between 1991-2000 are more cost-efficient while banks established between 2001-2010 are more profit-efficient when compared to their counterparts; old banks are less profit efficient than the new banks; and finally, expectedly, large banks are found to be more profit-efficient than small banks.
Do Financial and Economic Development Have an Impact on Income Inequality? A Study on Bangladesh
Authors: Chowdhury, FCA Mohammad Salahuddin , Rahman Md. Ohidur
Published: May 2023

This research attempts to determine why individuals are unable to achieve their fundamental necessities despite increased financial and economic growth by investigating the relationship between financial and economic development with income disparity.Alternatively, this paper examines, from the viewpoint of Bangladesh, the implications of the Financial Kuznets Curve hypothesis, a theory established in three phases based on Kuznets’s seminal 1955 work. The time series data of nine elements over the 28 years from 1993-94 to 2020-21 has been used in the study. The study employs the Autoregressive Distributed Lag method (ARDL)and Granger Casualty Test to identify the effect of financial and economic development on income inequality in Bangladesh. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has been used to develop indicators for financial development and economic development. The study reveals that financial and economic development affect income inequality in Bangladesh; in fact, they increased income inequality over the years in this country. This indicates that the FKC hypothesis holds in Bangladesh, as FKC states that Financial and economic development constitutes a converse U-shaped relationship with income inequality, meaning that income inequality increases during the primary phase and continues in the medium phase of development. As Bangladesh is going through a development phase, income inequality is increasing.

Antoon Van Dyck. Catalogue raisonné des tableaux du musée du Louvre
Authors: Ducos Blaise
Published: May 2023

Le musée du Louvre abrite le plus célèbre portrait d’un roi anglais : le Portrait de Charles Ier d’Angleterre par Antoon Van Dyck (1599-1641). Peintre des élégances féminine et masculine, favori des princes, en particulier de la dynastie des Habsbourg, adroit politique comme l’atteste une carrière internationale au meilleur niveau, Van Dyck fut aussi un grand peintre d’inspiration chrétienne. Cet ouvrage, catalogue raisonné des tableaux de Van Dyck présents au musée du Louvre, donne la mesure d’un génie dont la rigueur, et même l’ascèse artistique, autant que le brio sont perceptibles derrière la moindre de ses toiles. Le lecteur y trouvera une étude détaillée des œuvres du maître visibles au sein de l’établissement parisien. De nombreuses illustrations de comparaison, à même de suggérer l’ampleur de la culture visuelle de Van Dyck, permettent d’approcher l’art d’un peintre actif entre Flandre, Italie et Angleterre. Conservateur en chef au département des Peintures du musée du Louvre et docteur en histoire de l’art, Blaise Ducos est chargé des collections flamandes et hollandaises des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles depuis 2005. Il a été le commissaire de plusieurs expositions internationales portant sur Rembrandt, Rubens ou encore Vermeer. Il s’intéresse particulièrement au portrait d’apparat entre 1500 et 1650, produit sophistiqué des cultures des cours d’Europe.
