Time Use and Gender Inequality in India: Differences in Employment and Related, Unpaid Domestic, and Caregiving Activities
Authors: Gupta Pallavi , Pattanaik Falguni
Published: January 2023

The objective of this study is to analyze time allocation by gender in ‘employment and related’, ‘unpaid domestic’, and ‘unpaid caregiving’ activities for the individuals representing work in public and private spheres in India. Employing Indian Time-use data 2019, this study examines time distribution of Indian men and women in these activities. Furthermore, the variation in intensity of time allocation due to socio-economic and demographic factors of individuals has been assessed using ordinary least square regression. The study reveals important gender inequalities prevail in the time spent for all the three-activity categories. Indian men devote considerable time in ‘employment and related’ activities whereas Indian women spend more time in the other two activities. The time spent in ‘unpaid domestic’ activities by Indian women is more for those who are less educated, socially marginalized, unemployed, and belong to poorer households whereas ‘unpaid caregiving’ activities are more intensive for women who are highly educated, socially marginalized, not in the labour force and have more children at home. Originality/value : the present study contributes to understanding the disproportionate burden of ‘employment and related’, ‘unpaid domestic’ and ‘unpaid caregiving’ activities and the intersectional dynamics that play a significant role in the allocation of time use across the gender lines using the latest data available in India.

Published: January 2023

Candidiasis is an infection caused by the fungus Candida albicans. Candidiasis was recorded in the second highest position as an infectious disease that accompanies HIV/AIDS, as many as 266 cases. Candidiasis is the highest infection caused by fungi and is opportunistic. Infections caused by candida albicans can generally be treated with antifungal medications. However, the use of drugs in the long term can cause resistance to these drugs, besides antifungal drugs can also cause various side effects. Therefore, in this study, an assessment of the phytochemicals of the ethanol extract of medang sang’s leaves and its bioactivity as antifungal Candida albicans will be carried out. Testing the content of secondary metabolites in medang’s leaves was carried out qualitatively by observing changes in the sample when reacted with reagents. Testing the antifungal activity of the ethanol extract of medang sang’s leaves was carried out in-vitro using the disc diffusion method. Results Based on the test, the ethanol extract of medang sang’s leaves contains alkaloids, flavonoids and tannins. The results of testing the antifungal activity of Candida albicans showed no inhibition, this was because the tang compound contained in the ethanol extract of medang sang’s leaves did not have antifungal activity against Candida albicans.

Published: January 2023

Cassava peel is a natural material that is still underutilized even though has the potential as an alternative to activated carbon precursors. In the synthesis of activated carbon, the impregnation ratio and activation temperature are important factors that affect the characteristics of the activated carbon produced. This study aims to determine the effect of variations in the impregnation ratio (carbon: H3PO4) and activation temperature on the characteristics of activated carbon from cassava peel (CPAC) and to determine the optimal conditions in the manufacture of CPAC. In this study, CPAC was produced by treatment with various impregnation ratios of 1:5, 1:6, 1:8, 1:10, and 1:12 (w/w, carbon: H3PO4 30%) and a range activation temperature variation of 400 - 800 °C in the furnace for 60 minutes. The CPAC results were analyzed using FTIR, XRD, and SEM-EDX instruments. Based on the results of the FTIR test, it is showed that the characteristics of CPAC contain functional groups O–H, C–H, C≡C, C=C, C–O/P=O with an impregnation ratio of 1:6 (w/w, carbon: H3PO4 30%) and an activation temperature of 500 °C for 60 minutes to be the optimal conditions in the production of CPAC. The CPAC has an amorphous crystalline character based on XRD analysis and a hollow (porous) surface based on SEM analysis. The results of the EDX test showed that CPAC consisted of the elements carbon (C), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), phosphate (P), sodium (Na) with the respective percentages being 72.60%, 15.52%, 10 .32%, 1.09%, and 0.47% respectively.

Published: January 2023

Waste has become an environmental problem that needs attention in its handling. Metal Cr (VI) is one of the components of a very dangerous pollutant produced by industrial activities, such as textiles. In fact, there are still many textile industry players who do not treat their waste because they feel that the processing requires expensive upfront costs. Therefore, this research was conducted to perform a sewage treatment system with a separation technique using an alternative method, namely electrocoagulation using NaCl coagulant. The research was conducted at the Laboratory of Applied Chemistry and Toxicology at the Rajawali Health Institute. The sample used is a sample of liquid waste taken directly from a textile industry in Bandung, Indonesia. The results showed a decrease in the levels of Cr (VI) after the electrocoagulation process until it reached a percentage value of 64.02%. Based on this, it can be said that the electrocoagulation method is effective enough to be used as a simple treatment technique to reduce the levels of Cr (VI) metal in wastewater.

El debate en torno a la cobertura sanitaria universal y las mejores formas de lograrlo ha sido el centro de atención últimamente. México no ha sido la excepción adaptando el derecho a la salud pública en su carta magna. A lo largo de las administraciones federales se han articulado una serie de políticas sanitarias que han  aumentando la esperanza de vida. De lo anterior se deriva el objetivo en esta investigación que es analizar las políticas públicas implementadas en el sector salud de México en el periodo 2001-2020 para lograr una mayor cobertura y un mejor servicio. Concluyendo que el modelo sanitario venía mostrando claramente dos grandes tendencias: la primera a la descentralización de los servicios sanitarios y la segunda a fomentar la participación del sector privado en estas actividades, por lo que debe analizarse más que un servicio de salud, darle un enfoque más global, demográfico, político y social.
Þróun trúfrelsis á Íslandi 1874–1915. Umræður og lagarammi
Authors: Hugason Hjalti
Published: January 2023

Með stjórnarskránni 1874 var landsmönnum heimilað að snúa baki við evangelísk-lútherskri trúarhefð og bindast samtökum um iðkun annars konar trúar. Trúfrelsið var þó takmarkað þar sem ekki var heimilt að standa utan allra trúfélaga og hafna átrúnaði þar með. Nærtækast er að líta svo á að trúfrelsið hafi einkum átt að tryggja kristnum kirkjudeildum frelsi til að starfa í landinu.
Var fljótt tekið að benda á að staða fólks sem ekki samsamaði sig þjóðkirkjunni væri óljós og réttindi þess þröng, trúfrelsi hefði því í raun ekki komist á í landinu.
Stærsta skrefið í trúfrelsisátt sem stigið var á tímabilinu kom fram í lögum um utanþjóð-kirkjufólk frá 1886 en þau tóku til allra helstu atriðanna sem talin voru skerða trúfrelsið: prestsverk unnin af forstöðumönnum í söfnuðum utan þjóðkirkjunnar skyldu hafa sömu lögformlegu þýðingu og athafnir þjóðkirkjupresta; þau sem guldu til trúfélags eða safnaðar utan þjóðkirkju urðu gjaldfrjáls gagnvart henni og fólki voru tryggð þau réttindi að geta gengið í borgaralegt hjónaband ef annað hjónaefna eða þau bæði væru utan þjóðkirkju. Kristnum trúfélögum var þar með tryggt víðtækt frelsi til starfs.
Lögin sniðu einstaklingum aftur á móti þröngan stakk. Einkanlega kom þetta fram í tilviki fólks sem ekki gekk í trúfélag sem hafði á að skipa forstöðumanni með konunglega stað-festingu. Strangt til tekið ber enda fremur að líta svo á að slík staða utan trúfélaga hafi frekar verið umborin en að beinlínis hafi verið leyfilegt að taka sér hana til langframa og lýsa þar með yfir trúleysi. Fólk sem þessa stöðu hafði taldist enda að nokkru leyti til þjóðkirkjunnar þar sem það var ekki undanskilið neinu gjaldi til hennar. Því virðist ljóst að sú stefnumótun sem fram fór á tímabilinu hafi falið í sér trúarlegt félagafrelsi í ríkara mæli en trúarlegt einstaklingsfrelsi. Þróun trúfrelsis á tímabilinu virðist því að öllu leyti hafa rúmast innan svokallaðrar dissenter-hefðar. Olli skylda þeirra sem stóðu utan allra trúfélaga til að greiða þjóðkirkjunni eigi að síður gjöld mestu þar um.
Árið 1915 var trúfrelsið loks útvíkkað þannig að heimilt varð að standa utan allra trúfélaga. Með þessu urðu mikilvæg straumhvörf þar sem trúfrelsið tók nú bæði til trúarlegs félaga-frelsis og einstaklingsfrelsis.

Mikill fjöldi andlegra kvæða frá sautjándu öld er varðveittur í íslenskum handritum og eru flest þeirra ort af prestum eða mönnum sem lært höfðu í latínuskólum landsins. Gera má ráð fyrir að kvæðin og sálmarnir birti trúarsannfæringu skáldanna eða að minnsta kosti opin-bera trúarskoðun samfélagsins. Í mörgum tilfellum má einnig greina félagslegan tilgang með kveðskapnum, þ.e.a.s. kvæðin voru ekki aðeins ort í trúarlegum tilgangi heldur einnig til að heiðra ákveðnar manneskjur, hugga, vanda um við fólk og uppfræða, svo að dæmi séu tekin. Í greininni er því haldið fram að þessu til viðbótar megi oft og tíðum finna upplýsingar um ýmislegt varðandi persónulegar aðstæður skáldanna og annarra sem þau beina sjónum að í kvæðunum. Sú tilgáta er jafnframt sett fram að margir skáldprestar hafi notað skáldskapar-gáfuna til að sinna sálgæslu sóknarbarna sinna og annarra sem skáldin voru í samskiptum við. Þannig hafi sálgæsla skáldpresta í sumum tilfellum farið fram í bundnu máli og því megi fá innsýn í hversdagslíf fólks og hugarfar á sautjándu öld með því að lesa og túlka slík kvæði.

Published: January 2023

Neutralizing anti-factor VIII (FVIII) antibodies, known as FVIII inhibitors, represent a major drawback of replacement therapy in persons with congenital hemophilia A (PwHA), rendering further infusions of FVIII ineffective. FVIII inhibitors can also appear in non-hemophilic individuals causing acquired hemophilia A (AHA). The use of non-FVIII bypassing agents in cases of bleeds or surgery in inhibitor-positive patients is complicated by the lack of reliable biological monitoring and increased thrombotic risk. Imlifidase (IdeS) is an endopeptidase that degrades human immunoglobulin G (IgG); it was recently approved for hyperimmune patients undergoing renal transplants. Here we investigated the ability of IdeS to eliminate FVIII inhibitors in vitro and in a model of inhibitor-positive HA mice. IdeS cleaved anti-FVIII plasma IgG from PwHA and AHA patients, and hydrolyzed recombinant human anti-FVIII IgG independently from their subclass or specificity for the A2, A3, C1 or C2 domains of FVIII. In HA mice passively immunized with recombinant human anti-FVIII IgG, IdeS restored the hemostatic efficacy of FVIII, as evidenced by the correction of the bleeding tendency. Our results provide the proof of concept for the transient removal of FVIII inhibitors by IdeS, thereby opening a therapeutic window for efficient FVIII replacement therapy in inhibitor-positive patients.

A field experiment was conducted in the Agroforestry Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from November 2016 to April 2017 to find out the effects of Sadakoroi (Albizia procera), Kalokoroi (Albizia lebbeck) and Akashmoni (Acacia auriculiformis), leaves biomass with different fertilizers dose applications on the yield and yield contributing characters of Chinese Hybrid Rice. There were 10 treatments : T1 = Sadakoroi (leaf biomass 2 kg /plot ) + 15% RFD (Recommended fertilizer dose), T2= Sadakoroi (leaf biomass 2 kg /plot )+ 30% RFD, T3 = Sadakoroi (leaf biomass 2 kg /plot )+ 45% RFD, T4 = Kalokoroi (leaf biomass 2 kg /plot) + 15% RFD, T5 = Kalokoroi (leaf biomass 2 kg /plot) + 30% RFD, T6 = Kalokoroi (leaf biomass 2 kg /plot) + 45% RFD, T7 = Akashmoni (leaf biomass 2 kg /plot) + 15% RFD, T8 = Akashmoni (leaf biomass 2 kg /plot) + 30% RFD, T9 = Akashmoni (leaf biomass 2 kg /plot) + 45% RFD and T10= Control ( 100% RFD). The boro hybrid rice var. SQR6 was used as a test crop. The experiment was conducted in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The result showed that green leaf biomass had a significant effect on the yield contributing characters. The panicle length varied from 21.0 to 25.5 cm. The number of leaves on hill-1 varied from 40.2-25.9. The number of effective tillers on hill-1 varied from 12.27-10.63. The highest grain yield of 8.87 t ha-1was obtained from treatment T10 followed by 8.77 tha-1 noted with T3 where Sadakoroi leaf biomass was applied. Therefore, this study suggests that the green leaf biomass of Sadakoroi and Kalokoroi can be applied to the improvement of yield and yield contributing characters of rice.

Identification of Lasiodiplodia theobromae [(Pat.) Griff. & Maubl] as a causal pathogen of rain tree gummosis [Samanea saman (Jacq.) Merr] and its control management
Authors: Rahman M A
Published: January 2023

Gummosis in a Rain tree [Samanea saman (Jacq.) Merr.] is a new disease in Bangladesh. The prevalence of this disease is increasing over time. An exploratory survey was made to find out the extent of this disease in different areas of Bangladesh during 2017 and 2018. Infested samples of wood were collected to find out associated pathogens. After the isolation of the fungi in the Forest Pathology Laboratory of the Bangladesh Forest Research Institute, the optimal conditions for the growth of the pathogen was determined. Subsequently, the suitable control method was developed. It was found that the roadside plantation of Mongla Sadar Thana, Bagerhat district had the highest disease incidence and severity (42.93 and 54.38 %), and the lowest (12.63 and 18.34 %) was recorded at Satkhira Sadar Thana, Satkhira district, respectively. Lasiodiplodia theobromae [(Pat.) Griff. & Maubl)] was found associated with gummosis in the affected trees. The result of the pathogenicity test revealed that there was a similarity in symptoms that arise between artificial inoculation and natural symptoms in the field. The optimal condition of conidial germination, mycelial growth, and sporulation of L. theobromae was observed at pH 6-8, 90-95 RH, and 25-30°C temperature. The concentration of 2.5 % glucose and sucrose was the best for conidial germination, mycelial growth, and sporulation, and sucrose was better than glucose. PDA medium had the maximum mycelial growth (72.18 mm) and excellent sporulation, while the YEA medium had the lowest mycelial growth (59.19 mm) and poor sporulation. The fungicides Knowin (Carbendazim), ARBA (Carbendazim), and Autostin (Carbendazim) were found to completely inhibit pathogen mycelial growth and sporulation (100%) at 50, 100, and 150 mg/L concentrations. Furthermore, spraying these fungicides and the Bordeaux mixture at a rate of 2 % in the field resulted in the development of the smallest gummosis lesions. L. theobromae was a pathogen causing gummosis disease of rain tree, proven by morphology and Koch's postulates. Different environmental and nutritional factors affect the growth and sporulation of the pathogen and the application of Knowin, ARBA, Autostin, and Bordeaux mixture at 2 % can help control the disease at the field level.

Published: January 2023

Fish in aquaculture face stress, which is a major concern due to its effects on the overall wellbeing of the fish. To modulate the stress responses, researchers are turning to the use nutraceuticals rather than chemical drugs. In a six-week long study, holy basil (Ocimum sanctum) was used to observe its effects on stress in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Stress was induced by adding cortisol with the feed as a supplement. Three different treatments (control, stress, stress- basil), each with two replicates, were used to measure serum cortisol, lysozyme activity, macrophage phagocytosis, spleen somatic index, and condition factor. Basil had no significant effect on any of the parameters when comparing the stress and stress basil treatments. But the result showed significant imperative effect of stress due to cortisol supplement in both stress and stress-basil groups. The results suggest that basil may have potentials to modulate the stress response in Nile tilapia.

Published: January 2023

An integrated fertilizer experiment was conducted on the spinach plant at the net house of Soil, Water and Environment department under University of Dhaka during the rabi season using pot culture. The intention of the study was to evaluate the integrated effect of vermicompost, NPK fertilizers, Cd and Pb on soil properties, spinach growth, yield and concentration of nutrients. The trial was carried out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) followed by two replications, having twelve treatments, including control. The maximum growth and yield contributing characteristics of spinach plant viz. plant height (23.10 cm), leaf area (61.13 cm2 plant-1), length of leaf (10.85 cm plant-1), no. of leaf (10 plant-1), yield of fresh (10.92g plant-1) and dry materials (1.05g plant-1) found in T12 (vermicompost 5 ton ha-1 + N25P8K10 kg ha-1 + Pb4 kg ha-1). All the growth and yield parameters observed lowest with the sole Cd application and the performance of sole Pb also showed reducing trends compared to other integrated treatments. The highest achievements of macro elements N (0.0798%), P (0.0027%), K (0.0068%) and S (0.0084%) of post-harvest soil with the treated pot in T12 over the control. Mineral nutrients of leaves (N-2.29%, P-1.30% and K-8.24%) were found highest in the same T12. It may be concluded that the maximum production of spinach, sustain the soil productivity and achieve the high nutritional value of the leaf in the treatment T12 (vermicompost 5 ton ha-1 + N25P8K10 kg ha-1 + Pb4 kg ha-1) recommended for its cultivation.

Authors: Latifa GA , Marma S , Islam M
Published: January 2023

The change of vegetation in Khagrachhari Sadar Upazila during 1991 to 2021 was investigated taking data in 10 years intervals. Satellite images of Landsat 4-5 TM (30 October 1991, 19 March 2001 and 11 February 2011) and Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS (6 February 2021) from USGS Earth Explorer have been extracted. Image classification, analyzing and visualizing the data was accomplished by ArcGIS 10.7.1 software and Microsoft excel. In 1991, vegetation coverage (Forest and agriculture) and non-vegetated area (water body, bare land) were 161.15 km2 (61.19%) and 99.17 km2 (38.09%), respectively. After 10 years (in 2001) vegetation coverage slightly increased (by 0.83%) resulting a little decrease in nonvegetated area. The area became 184.63 km2 (62.60%) and 97.28 km2 (37.40%), respectively for vegetated and non-vegetated coverage. However, since 2011 a decreasing trend for vegetation coverage was observed, 161.81 km2 (62.2%) in 2011 which decreased to 157.97 km2 (60.72%) in 2021. Consequently non-vegetated area increased from 98.34 km2 (37.80%) to 102.18 km2 (39.28%) in this period. The overall loss of 3.18 km2 of vegetation over the last 30 years was mainly due to rapid growth of population and encroachment of hilly area for settlement. This loss of vegetation coverage is affecting the ecological balance of the hilly areas of Bangladesh.

Strategies for the Remediation of Cadmium and Chromium From Industrial Effluents in Response to Amaranthus Cruentus, Spinacia Oleracea And Amaranthus Viridis of Bangladesh
Authors: Khan H , Akter RS , Lipi SA
Published: January 2023

Discharge of industrial effluents and their remediation in relation to crop production are the major concerns. Accordingly, the color, pH, EC, total dissolved solids (TDS), dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total hardness, chloride, CO3, HCO3, alkalinity, Cu, Cd, Pb, Mn, Zn, and Cr contents in the effluents discharged from Hazaribagh tannery and Tejgaon textile industries in Dhaka were determined. These effluents had no significant (p≤0.05) effects on soil pH but exerted significant positive effects on the CEC of the soil. The TDS of the effluents were also high but it decreased by alum [K2SO4 Al2 (SO4)3 24 H2O] treatment (0.1%). The DO of the effluents was low and the COD was high leading to a serious threat for aquatic lives. The concentrations of Cd, Pb, Zn, Mn and Cr were high. Filtration through natural sand-gravity-filter acts like Effluent Treatment Plant-ETP and coagulation of effluents by alum decreased the concentrations of Cd and Cr below the permissible limits. The treated effluents were used for the production of vegetables of red amaranth (Amarunthus cruentus), green spinach (Spinacia oleracea) and green amaranth (Amarunthus viridis) grown in a non-polluted soil under pot experiments. Application of treated effluents was found to have significant (p≤0.05) positive effects on the biomass production of the vegetables. The highest amounts of assimilation of Cd in plants were recorded for the Green spinach followed by Green amaranth and for Cr, the order was green spinach followed by red amaranth and green amaranth vegetables grown under the treated effluents of tannery and textile industries. The present study revealed that the natural sand-gravity-filter (i.e., Economic ETP) and alum treatments were found to be effective not only for the remediation of polluted effluents but also improved the growth of vegetables. The use of natural filter and/or alum treatment can be practiced for the remediation of pollution of industrial effluents before discharging from industries.

An experiment was conducted during kharif (summer) season 2021 at the substation of Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA), Gopalganj, Bangladesh. Yield and yield contributing attributes of BINA developed four sesame varieties were observed during the trial. A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 replications was performed. The varieties were V1 = Binatil-1, V2 = Binatil-2, V3 = Binatil-3 and V4 = Binatil-4. Results from the experiment revealed that plant height, number of branches plant-1, number of pods plant-1, pod length, pod breadth, number of seeds pod-1, 1000 seed weight and seed yield were significantly different among the varieties. The tallest plant (106.00 cm) was found in Binatil-1 while shortest plant (77.33 cm) was observed in Binatil-3. It was observed that Binatil-2 had the foremost branches plant-1 (4.80) while the lowest number of branches plant-1 was found in Binatil-1 (0.33). Moreover, Binatil-3 showed the very best number of pods plant-1 (93.33) while Binatil-1 gave the lowest number of pods plant-1 (47.87). The largest pod was found in Binatil-1 (3.74 cm) while the smallest was found in Binatil-2 (2.42 cm). It had been recorded that Binatil-1 showed the maximum number of seeds pod-1 (76.97) while Binatil-3 gave the minimum number of seeds pod-1 (57.60). The highest number of thousand seed weight was recorded in Binatil-3 (3.12 g) while the lowest thousand seed weight was recorded in Binatil-1 (2.93 g). It had been detected that the variety Binatil-2 showed the highest seed yield (1.35 ha-1) while Binatil-1 gave the lowest seed yield (1.25 ha-1). The remarkable growth and yield performance of sesame from kharif season (summer) trial was observed at Binatil-2. And it will be helpful to select the varieties having high yield potential as well as future breeding materials of sesame in Bangladesh.

Published: January 2023

This research was conducted to identify the effects of different doses of auxin on the cutting of Mulberry (Morus alba). The study was conducted in Syangja district from April 2022 to June 2022. Stem cuttings of the plant were subjected to different treatments; IBA concentration (Control, 1000 ppm, 2000 ppm, 3000 ppm, and 4000 ppm). The experiment was carried out in a Randomization Complete Block Design (RCBD) and replicated thrice. The physiology of mulberry is highly affected by auxin, a rooting hormone. In the case of different IBA concentrations, the maximum rooting percentage (81.33%) was found in cuttings which were treated with a 4000 ppm concentration of auxin. Similarly, cuttings treated with 2000 ppm auxin develop an abundance of leaves (11), primary roots (9), and secondary roots (12). But in the case of root length (22.33 cm), the highest was found in cuttings which were treated with a 4000 ppm concentration of IBA. IBA was found to be most effective at 4000 ppm for best rooting and good root growth, and at 2000 ppm for healthy leaf growth and to enhance the number of primary and secondary roots in Mulberry.

Published: January 2023

A cross sectional prospective study was carried out to determine the prevalence of demographic status associated with pet owners and animals, and pattern of drugs used in prescription during study period from February 2019 to April 2019 at Central Veterinary Hospital (CVH), Dhaka, Bangladesh. A total of 493 clinical cases were analyzed and found that educated and illiterate calculated as 64.2% and 13.8% of dog owners, and 89.4% and 10.6% of cat owners. Among the pet animals, males were higher (dogs 64.3%, cats 52.1%) compared to females (dogs 35.7%, cats 47.9%). In relation to breed of pet animals, local breed was higher in both cases of dogs (33.4%) and cats (55.9%). Tendency of pet owners for deworming (36.4% in dogs, 23.9% in cat) and vaccination (45.3% in dogs, 37.8% in cats) were not satisfactory. The prevalence of noninfectious diseases was 40.7% in dogs and 59.6% in cats followed by infectious diseases (26.6% in dogs, 14.9% in cats). Overall prescribed antimicrobials were higher (49.5% in dogs, 62.2% in cat) than others. Among them, most frequently used antimicrobials in dogs were fluroquinolone with metronidazole/beta lactams (93.7%) in infectious case followed by Cephalosporin (56.3%) due to non-infectious case. On the contrary, metronidazole was used (100%) due to noninfectious case followed by cephalosporin (28.3%) in infectious case in cats. These results indicate the level of awareness of vaccination and deworming practice, management styles of their pets in Dhaka and socio economic condition of owners.

Authors: Rayhan SM , Mou Anika Tahsin , Akter Bably , Kabir Md Shajahan , Hoque Md Najmol
Published: January 2023

This study aimed to understand the livelihood status of the fishery-dependent communities in the South- Western coast of Bangladesh and their livelihood adaptation in response to climate change. The study was carried out in two villages of Dacope upazila in Khulna District. Data were collected from a purposively drawn sample of 60 fisher’s households through household interviews, key informants’ interviews, and transect walk as well as from secondary sources. The adverse climatic variability influences all the livelihood capitals and strategies of fishing communities. Most households have lower access to sanitation, market transportation, health facilities, GO, and NGO services during the adverse climatic situation. Increased levels of cyclones and floods result in greater damage to fishing equipment, livelihood assets, and lower level of fish catch. Income generation from fisheries-related activities is reducing gradually which affects the livelihoods of the fishers. The study has identified four different practices of adaptation to climate change by those fishing communities where about 71.67% adopted livelihood diversification. To cope with the changing climate and variability most of the fishing households (95%) have taken multiple adaptation strategies while the rest (5%) did not. The fishermen are exploited financially by the local credit facility provider. Diversification of livelihoods included agriculture (23.26%), fish trading (2.33%), fish farming (18.60%), and other different types of diversification found in the study area due to climate impacts but not always sufficiently fruitful. This situation may worsen over the next few decades and an improved level of responsiveness would be required.
