The Geopolitics of Energy Security in Bangladesh: A Critical Review
Authors: Amin Sakib Bin , Ahmed Mahbub , Amreen Anika Tabassum , Hashin Sidrat , Khandaker Mahatab Kabir , Khan Farhan
Published: March 2024

Bangladesh, a small country in South Asia, has undergone significant economic development in the past 50 years since its inception. This can be attributed to its transition from an agrarian to an industrial economy, with the energy sector playing a pivotal role in facilitating this shift. An in-depth investigation of Bangladesh's energy landscape (i.e., energy mix, regulations, reforms, and policies) reveals that it is dominated by imported fossil fuels, which rely on international alliances. Such a scenario exposes Bangladesh's energy security to geopolitical threats. By drawing on the geopolitics of energy security, the study analyzes the extent of recent global energy dynamics, the geopolitical behavior of major energyproducing countries, and international alliances that influence Bangladesh's energy security. The study reveals six potential channels through which the adverse effects of geopolitics affect Bangladesh's energy security. Based on holistic discussion, we recommend a few policies to mitigate or diminish the adverse impact of geopolitics and thereby ensure sustainable development and the projected energy transition in Bangladesh.
Political Impact on Natural Disaster Management and the Influence of Civil Society: Cases of Two Cyclones in Bangladesh
Authors: Sharmeen Protiva
Published: March 2024

If we analyze the history of natural disasters relating to political impacts, we can see that there are many direct or indirect impacts of disaster management, including the aid distribution in the political arena. The political scenario concerns how the government is handling the aid distribution and how the other significant actors are reacting to the situation. Do different political situations create differences in disaster response? Here the facts of the Bhola cyclone of 1970 and the 2007 Sidr cyclone in Bangladesh have been engaged to analyze these questions. These two cyclones occurred during two different political situations in two different times but at the same land area. This research will help to understand natural disaster management relating to political aspects, which will then contribute to better natural disaster management for Bangladesh. The method is qualitative with secondary data and various published scholarly articles reviewed for this research. The findings suggest that politics has a significant role in managing natural disaster. And the natural disaster management pattern leaves an impact on the government and current political context. In the case of the Bhola cyclone, the mismanagement of the government impacted the 1970’s voting outcome. On the other hand, in the case of the Sidr cyclone, the caretaker government impacted natural disaster management in the country in a different way. Through these historical impacts the author identifies from a political perspective the challenges of natural disasters and relief distribution, and then recommends the necessary directions to support the government for better management.
Diplomatic Strategies in Addressing Climate-Induced Migration: A Critical Review of South Asian Nations
Authors: Sadik MD Shiyan , Khan Sakif Al Ehsan
Published: March 2024

Climate diplomacy's responsibility is to assure the successful and timely development of several complex international regimes, as well as its operation and monitoring to handle emerging difficulties. Climate diplomacy bridges the fundamental gap between regional interest disputes and cross-border cooperation. This review article is based on a secondary literature review where the climate diplomacy practices of the South Asian Nations have been critically evaluated based on treaties regarding climate issues and level of engagement in global climate forums, the impact of climate migration-related consequences, and the political responses and impact of regional geo-political practices. The historical occurrence of political and economic instability in South Asian countries has consistently resulted in the phenomenon of migration. Due to climate change, the rates of negative migration have further escalated. The primary focus of the essay is to illustrate the similarities and differences in various practices throughout South Asian countries, with each country's part being assessed individually based on the aforementioned elements. Furthermore, the objective of this essay is to assess the extent of potential collaboration initiatives in the future between these neighboring nations, taking into account geopolitical considerations.
The Political Economy of Emergence and Transformation of Private Television Channels in Bangladesh: A Critique
Authors: Khan Abdur Razzaque
Published: March 2024

The emergence of private television channels in Bangladesh was a remarkable chapter in Bangladesh's media democratization process. Three private television channels—ATN Bangla, Channel-I, and ETV— were allowed to air during Sheikh Hasina's first regime (1996-2001). All these three private channels brought a qualitative change in the broadcast history of Bangladesh. Bangladesh's people lost their confidence in the state-controlled only TV channel of the country named Bangladesh Television (BTV) simply because of its enslavement towards the government and the ruling party. Private TV channels emerged as windows for ordinary people to get accurate and unbiased news and views of Bangladesh and the world. Later on, during Begum Khaleda Zia's second regime (2001-2006), vicious and dirty party politics enveloped Bangladesh's private TV channels. As a result, private TV channels have been transformed into the government's mouthpiece and a tool for manufacturing consent in favor of the ruling party. This paper focuses on the political economy of private TV channels' emergence and their transformation in Bangladesh. The contention of this paper is to show how the social relations, i.e., communication relations between the ruling party elites and the crony capitalists, form a vicious nexus that brushes aside all rules and regulations for getting a private television channel with a view to becoming a big tool for manufacturing consent in favor of the ruling elites. The paper concludes that any authoritarian government, like a one-party rule, military regime, or even an elected government when it transforms into an autocratic one, always tries to support and sponsor crony capitalists for their political interest, which is a threat to any democracy and media democratization process of any society. The crony capitalists developed a corporate media culture of their own that doesn't give proper treatment of any national concern or issue that goes against the ruling party's interest. There is no space for objective journalism in this media culture. This corporate journalism culture, devoid of professionalism, has replaced ethical journalism in Bangladesh. It has become stronger day by day. Keywords: Political Economy, Private TV Channels, Emergence, Transformation, Crony Capitalism, Sheikh Hasina, and Begum Khaleda Zia
US - China Competition for Global Leadership - An Alternative Perspective
Authors: Nuruzzaman Mohammed
Published: March 2024

This article investigates China’s prospects of assuming a global leadership role in a postAmerican world. It disputes the position of a growing group of American scholars who strongly defend America’s lead role in global politics and advance the argument that there is no alternative to US leadership of the current world order. On the contrary, this article argues that the sense of a relative decline in US power, exacerbated by China’s rise as a gigantic economic power in recent years, threatens to displace the US as the global leader. It concludes that Beijing may not, however, aim to redesign and reconstruct a new world order altogether, as its interests are best served within the framework of the existing post-war world order. In other words, China’s selfinterests would dictate it to lead the world while maintaining the basic structure of the USengineered post-war world order

A ‘Pinocchio’ or ‘Cyrano’ nose is a condition with a deformity at the tip of the nose caused by an underlying soft tissue tumor. The deformity of the nose with secondary involvement in the form of lymphangioma is a sporadic case, and few studies have reported it. Lymphangioma itself is a benign tumor that originates from the lymph vessels. The diagnosis of lymphangiomas can be made based on the clinical picture and computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Treatment options for nasal tip lymphangioma and nasal vestibule are radiotherapy, cryotherapy, and sclerosant injection.
¿Cesárea innecesaria?: una mirada bioética a esta modalidad del nacimiento en Chile y Venezuela
Authors:   Doctor en Ciencias Médicas. Instituto de Anatomía, Histología y Patología. Universidad Austral de Chile, Urdaneta Machado José Ramón
Published: March 2024

La operación cesárea es una de las intervenciones quirúrgicas más antiguas de la humanidad y de las más practicadas, su ejecución ante el riesgo obstétrico ha logrado el éxito reproductivo en millones de embarazadas y sus neonatos. Sin embargo, en la actualidad el incremento exponencial en muchos países de los nacimientos mediante cesáreas es considerado un problema de salud pública, debido a que no es un procedimiento libre de riesgos y con complicaciones a corto y largo plazo tanto para la madre como para el recién nacido; por lo que puede acarrear problemas éticos morales principalmente relacionados con los principios de autonomía y de beneficencia/no maleficencia, sobre todo cuando su práctica no está lo suficientemente justificada. Es por ello que, se propuso realizar una revisión narrativa, a fin de analizar el marco biojurídico y las consideraciones e implicancias bioéticas en la realización de la cesárea.

Los Cuidados Paliativos (CP) se muestran como un planteamiento para mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes y familias que afrontan problemas inherentes a una enfermedad potencialmente mortal. Diversas circunstancias, incluida la pandemia por la COVID-19, mostraron las debilidades del sistema sanitario español y su personal, en la gestión de los valores y creencias, la espiritualidad, el estatus de la calidad de vida y el derecho a una «buena muerte» de los pacientes terminales. El personal sanitario y no sanitario también requieren de intervenciones que ayuden a gestionar sus valores y beneficencia en los CP. La humanización es la mejor opción, pero toda estrategia debe partir de la investigación y ser evaluada. Hay que deliberar partiendo de los hechos relacionados a CP y Humanización.

Hiding behind the veil: On whom does liability for discriminatory practices by recruitment agencies fall
Authors: Rammila Davy , Manamela Ernest
Published: March 2024

The Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998 (EEA) provides that applicants for employment are employees for purposes of its unfair discrimination provisions. The EEA is, however, silent in respect of applicants who seek employment through recruitment agencies. In this article, we argue that this silence has the potential to handicap these applicants and deprive them of the statutory procedure they would have enjoyed had they otherwise applied directly to employers. We further contend that the relationship between recruitment agencies and applicants for employment is not capable of being construed to fall within the provisions of s 4 of the EEA. We also posit that it would be unreasonable to expect these applicants to follow an onerous process under the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act 4 of 2000; this, despite there being a clear employment nexus informing the foundation and execution of the juristic act between the respective parties. Instead, we propose that recruitment agencies are agents in the ordinary sense, that their engagements with applicants enjoy prior authorisation from the potential employer, and that any consequences of such engagements are attributable to the potential employer.
Translation of transfer pricing adjustments in South Africa: A seemingly insignificant detail
Authors: van Heerden Michelle
Published: March 2024

The South African rand is one of the most volatile currencies in the world — at times the most volatile. To this is added a further area of uncertainty, namely the tax implications relating to transfer pricing. Section 31 of the South African Income Tax Act does not have any specific foreign currency translation rules. The general rule in s 25D of the Income Tax Act is therefore applicable, which provides for the translation of foreign currency to rand using the spot rate. However, given the nature of transfer pricing transactions, it raises the question whether the spot rate is indeed appropriate. The purpose of the study was to investigate South Africa’s translation rules and to seek guidance from an international perspective. The research design was non-empirical, adopting an interpretative paradigm, together with a doctrinal research methodology. The conclusion of this study is that the translation rules concerning transfer pricing adjustments have seemingly been overlooked. The study recommends a legislative amendment of s 31 and proposes that transfer pricing adjustments are converted using the average rate of exchange for the year of assessment to which the adjustments relate, as such an amendment will lead to certainty, equity and convenience.

In today's digital era, the exponential growth in the dissemination of malicious software presents a formidable and pervasive threat to individuals and organizations alike. Malware, comprising of computer code or scripts, exhibits a propensity to override computer systems and engage in unauthorized activities, such as the illicit extraction of valuable information. The magnitude of such control is particularly perilous in the contemporary landscape. The rapid and constant evolution of malware compounds this risk, necessitating the development and implementation of sophisticated countermeasures to combat this pressing issue. In response to this challenge, this study has turned to the utilization of ensemble learning techniques as a means of effectively and accurately identifying and detecting malware. Specifically, the investigation focuses on the classification of applications on the MS Windows 7 and 8 operating systems as either malicious or benign, by leveraging static and dynamic features extracted from these applications. The foundational models employed in this study consist of recurrent neural networks (RNNs), trained on the dynamic features of malware, and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and trained on the static features of malware. This comprehensive approach ensures that no malware goes undetected. Multiple techniques for constructing an ensemble model, such as Boosting, Stacking, and Bagging, are thoroughly examined and analyzed. Ultimately, the Bagging technique is deemed the most suitable and is consequently implemented in this study.

In the pursuit of sustainable agricultural practices, the role of innovative research methods in enhancing agricultural plants is paramount. This abstract delineates the profound impact of such methodologies on sustainable development in the foreseeable future. Cutting-edge techniques such as genomic sequencing, molecular markers, and genome editing technologies revolutionize plant breeding by identifying and manipulating genes responsible for desirable traits, including disease resistance and drought tolerance. Omics technologies, encompassing transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, provide comprehensive insights into gene expression patterns and metabolic pathways, thereby facilitating targeted breeding strategies aimed at enhancing plant resilience and productivity. High-throughput phenotyping platforms enable rapid and accurate characterization of plant traits, empowering breeders to select superior varieties with enhanced performance under diverse environmental conditions. Concurrently, bioinformatics tools and data analytics play a pivotal role in deciphering complex genomic datasets, aiding in the identification of key genes and regulatory networks governing important agronomic traits. Biotechnology and synthetic biology approaches offer novel avenues for genetic manipulation, allowing for the design and engineering of plants with optimized traits, such as improved nutritional content and stress tolerance. Additionally, the integration of climate modeling with systems biology provides valuable insights into the interaction between genotype and environment, facilitating the development of climate-resilient crop varieties tailored to specific agroecosystems. Through the synergistic application of these innovative research methods, agricultural scientists and breeders can accelerate the pace of crop improvement while simultaneously promoting sustainability by fostering resilience, resource efficiency, and environmental stewardship. This transformative paradigm in agricultural research promises to address the complex challenges of food security, climate change, and environmental degradation, thereby laying the foundation for a more sustainable and resilient agricultural future.

Published: March 2024

Predictive genetic testing for Huntington’s Disease, a fatal and progressive neurodegenerative disorder with no cure, can lead to a multitude of favorable and unfavorable responses, impacts, and experiences. Utilizing many qualitative studies, participants’ reactions to their gene-positive test results were categorized into the opposing psychological states of motivation vs. hopelessness. Key milestones of adulthood, such as education and career, romantic and familial relationships, reproductive choices, and financial investments, were used as metrics for the two categories. By studying the psychological well-being of at-risk individuals for Huntington’s, this literature review also argues for the use and improvement of long-term, tailored genetic counseling.
