Published: December 2018

When people lose their health, they feel vulnerable and fragile, so the family's attitude during the disease process is crucial. The objective was to determine the relationship between family support and adherence to treatment in older adults diagnosed with congestive heart failure who go to the cardiology service at a National Hospital. The study was quantitative, correlational and cross-sectional. The population consisted of 65% female and 35% male both older adults diagnosed with CHF; two instruments were used: Family support and adherence to treatment were validated through expert judgment and a pilot test. The Spearman rho correlation coefficient (R=0.460) shows a significant correlation (p=0.000), which was positive and of medium level, which means that low levels of family support correspond to low levels of adherence, and vice versa. The family support variable obtained 70 % of medium level and 15 % correspond to high and low levels. Adherence to treatment reached 53% medium level while 22% high. In conclusion, family support and adherence to treatment are related to the emotional bonds that induce the patient to motivate his own self-care. Therefore, the family is key to encourage adherence and promote healthy behaviors in the patient. Likewise, nurses must educate the family on issues related to health care in a family context and the satisfaction of basic needs for the maintenance and quality of life of the patient.

Some Characteristics of Islamic Journalism Based on Al Quran
Authors: Saragih M. Yoserizal 
Published: December 2018

Prophet Muhammad SAW as a role model has been made and gives examples of how the application of journalism itself. Prophet does his message through writing, that is, when he sends a letter to the kings or heads of tribes in Madinah in order to invite to the road of Islam. A journalist should be able to convince mad'u let that propaganda purposes can take place without any problem. Journalistic as a method in a very strategic propaganda .Beside it can be enjoyed by many people, the product of journalism also can be more lasting or durable, because it can be stored or read anytime. Journalism propagation of Islam is actually not a new method of propaganda, because the Prophet has implemented a method of propaganda by sending a letter of propaganda to the kings who do not know and embrace Islam.

New host record of some gastrointestinal parasites of Irrawaddy squirrel (Callosciurus pygerythrus) from Chittagong, Bangladesh
Authors: Hussain Md Afzal , Acharjee Rajib , Ahmed Benazir 
Published: December 2018

Gastrointestinal (GI) tract of 60 Irrawaddy squirrels (Callosciurus pygerythrus) were collected between September 2013 and August 2014 from four different spots of Chittagong University campus and its adjacent areas to study the ento-helminth fauna. Eight different parasite species were identified - one belonging to Cestoda and represented by Hymenolepis diminuta, and the remaining seven were to Nematoda viz., Strongyloides callosciurus, Trichuris ovis, Monodontus sp., Cyclodontostomum purvisi, Moguranema nipponicum, Ascarops talpa and Syphacia obvelata. The nematodes were found as dominant species most preferably inhabiting the small intestine. The present host is the new host record for all of these parasites and S. callosciurus, T. ovis, Monodontus sp., M. nipponicum and A. talpa are the new records for Bangladesh too. All these parasites have very wide host specificity, though most of them are restricted to various rodent hosts but H. diminuta and S. callosciurus were found to have more wider specificity, including other vertebrates too. All identified parasites might have been acquired from the environment where the host inhabits, since host specificity perspective no parasites were found to be specific to the present host. H. diminuta and Syphacia obvelata might have zoonotic role to other wild animals and human and vice versa.

Published: December 2018

Co-management of common property aquatic habitats are increasingly implemented with a view to increasing fish production, ensuring fishers’ rights and to conserve biodiversity. This study investigates the current status and identifies barriers to fisheries management in an oxbow lake (baor) at Jessore district, Bangladesh. Using interviews, focus group discussions and secondary data, this study revealed that both capture and culture fisheries are practised at the same time at the same water-body. As the wetland was used solely for capture fisheries before, the introduction of aquaculture practice has increased the total fish production and income for some people. However, it has reduced the access to poor fishers and fish biodiversity. Particularly the biodiversity of Channa sp, Puntius sp, Mastacembelus sp, Mystus sp, and Colisa fasciatus has been reduced. A range of climatic, institutional, economic and social barriers have facilitated the reduced access of poor fishers and biodiversity. To overcome the barriers and ensure sustainable management of the baor this study proposes to implement a fair leasing system, increase financial and human resources together with an ecosystem-based approach to baor management.

Published: December 2018

A field experiment was carried out in Gazipur, Bangladesh to find out the abundance and behavior of native insect pollinators and their impact on the yield and seed quality of mustard (Brassica juncea L.). Total 8 species of insects under 8 different families in 3 orders were found as pollinator and their abundance ranged from 0.5 to 6.6/30 sweeps. The pollinator insects revealed statistically higher abundance compared to pest, predator and other category. The pollinators were most abundant at 11.0 hrs of the day and differed in their landing duration on flower. Ant and cabbage butterfly stayed statistically similar and longer time (24.1 and 23.5 sec., respectively). The highest yield (994.3 kg/ha) was obtained from insect managed pollination treatment followed by open (759.7 kg/ha) and enclosed condition (272.3 kg/ha). Insect pollination revealed higher percentage of germination, t100-seed weight, per cent oil and protein content but the results did not differ statistically.

Published: December 2018

Cinnamon has different biological properties such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic and antiallergic. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of cinnamon as feed supplement on growth performances and bacterial load of Heteropneustes fossilis. Twenty fries were stocked in each 60 litre aquarium for a rearing period of 90 days. Commercial diet was used that contains 0.0% (control), 0.5%, and 1.0% cinnamon bark powder. The diet containing 1% cinnamon resulted in greater ADG, SGR, FCR and survival rate. Whereas, the diet containing 0.5% cinnamon resulted in greater condition factor and lower FCR. In most of the cases the diet containing 1% cinnamon showed lower amount of bacterial count than the controlled condition. Cinnamon could have an antibacterial activity antagonistic to Vibrio and Aeromonas as there was no count found in fish flesh samples after 90 days of culture. The findings of this study suggest that growth performances and bacterial load of H. fossilis were better in commercial feed containing cinnamon powder. It is recommended that fish farmers can use cinnamon as feed supplement to improve growth performance and reduce bacterial load during culture of H. fossilis.

Published: December 2018

Present study was conducted to evaluate nutritional values of smoked hilsa fish (Tenualosa ilisha; Hamilton, 1882) in relation to its raw condition. Smoking is one of the processes of fish preservation from ancient period of our country. The nutrients values of the hilsa from two different regions were significantly (p < 0.05) varied. The nutritional values were different before and after processing of hilsa. Riverine hilsa contains relatively more moisture (56.45 ± 0.51%) and protein (15.98 ± 0.50%) than marine hilsa. Fat (16.18 ± 0.45%) and salt (1.92 ± 0.18%) contents are higher in marine hilsa; whereas ash (8.34 ± 0.35%) content was higher in riverine hilsa. Minerals like iron (4.72 ± 0.08 mg/100 g) and calcium (481.77 ± 6.20 mg/100g) remain in large amount on marine hilsa but phosphorus (115.73 ± 4.36 mg/100 g) content remain high level in riverine hilsa. In addition, the protein (raw condition, 19.54 ± 0.47%, riverine; 17.12 ± 0.42%, marine and smoked condition, 29.64 ± 0.41%, riverine; 28.51 ± 0.51%, marine) and fat (raw condition, 16.41 ± 0.46%, riverine; 20.07 ± 0.39%, marine and smoked condition, 20.71 ± 0.47%, riverine; 23.31 ± 0.47%, marine) content were higher in abdominal region of riverine and marine hilsa both raw and smoked condition than head region (protein in raw condition, 11.21 ± 0.51%, riverine; 10.51 ± 0.53%, marine and smoked condition, 17.14 ± 0.42%, riverine; 15.69 ± 0.4%, marine; fat in raw condition, 9.04 ± 0.45%, riverine; 11.21 ± 0.51%, marine and smoked condition, 12.32 ± 0.44%, riverine; 14.56 ± 0.47%, marine) and caudal region (protein in raw condition17.21 ± 0.52%, riverine; 15.22 ± 0.66%, marine and smoked condition, 27.68 ± 0.44%, riverine; 26.73 ± 0.46%, marine; fat in raw condition, 14.05 ± 0.5%, riverine; 17.28 ± 0.47%, marine and smoked condition, 17.35 ± 0.43%, riverine; 19.18 ± 0.51%, marine).

Published: December 2018

There is a significant lack of data regarding the biodiversity of elasmobranchs in the territorial waters of Bangladesh, since that sharks and rays are not targeted by commercial fishing industry, but rather encountered as a bycatch. This paper updated the diversity of elasmobranchs in the territorial waters of Bangladesh. The study was carried out to identify two coastal areas of Patharghata, Barguna and Cox's Bazar between October, 2015 and September, 2016. Using fish landing station survey techniques, total 20 species of elasmobranch were encountered, including eight species of sharks and 12 species of batoids, under 14 genera, ten families. This is the most expended field based records of elasmobranch fishes of Bangladesh.

Authors: Hasan Md Kamrul , Rabbane Md Golam 
Published: December 2018

A study was performed to determine to effect of salinities (20, 25, 28, 30, 32, 35 and 40 ppt) and temperatures (20, 24, 28, 30 and 32°C) on the decapsulation of Artemia cyst. The dry Artemia cyst were hydrated up to 2 hrs in fresh water at (26 ± 1ºC) temperature with a density 0.3 g/ 50 ml water. Saline water was prepared using salt (NaCl) and hatching rate of Artemia cyst was counted after 36 hours of incubation. Highest hatching rate (72.59 ± 5.03), (75.84 ± 3.67), (74.45 ± 0.83), (89.38 ± 0.96), (76.46 ± 4.63), (70.58 ± 9.51) and (69.17 ± 0.70)% were observed in 20, 25, 28, 30, 32, 35 and 40 ppt salinities at 32, 28, 28, 24, 24, 24, and 28°C temperature, respectively. Lowest hatching rate (57.03 ± 3.67), (47.97 ± 8.06), (46.20 ± 8.17), (39.58 ± 10.12), (47.36 ± 7.04) (25.86 ± 8.10) and (20.57 ± 2.71) % were measured in 20, 25, 28, 30, 32, 35 and 40 ppt salinities at 30, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32 and 32°C, respectively. The maximum hatching rate (89.38 ± 0.96)% was found in 30 ppt salinity at 24°C temperature and minimum hatching rate (20.57 ± 2.71) % was observed in 40 ppt salinity at 32°C temperature. Therefore, 30 ppt salinity and 24οC temperature could be the optimum salinity-temperature for Artemia cyst decapsulation.

Host acceptance and oviposition behaviour of solitary wasp, Anisopteromalus calandrae (Howard) (Hymenoptera : Pteromalidae), A parasitoid of stored grain pests
Authors: Ahmed KN , Roy CK , Munshi JL , Zenat EA , Ghose SK 
Published: December 2018

The host acceptance and oviposition behaviour of the ectoparasitoid, Anisopteromalus calandrae (Howard) (Hymenoptera : Pteromalidae) was observed on unexposed (hidden) and exposed host of Sitophilus oryzae (L.) and Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) under laboratory conditions. The egg-laying behaviour was accomplished in eight phases in hidden hosts of S. oryzae i.e., inside wheat kernels but it was much shorter having five steps in those of exposed hosts. Average total time taken by a mated A. calandrae in unexposed host (inside wheat kernels) during different oviposition sequences was 55 minutes. On the other hand, average total time taken by a mated A. calandrae in exposed host of S. oryzae during oviposition sequences was 91.1 minutes. A. calandrae preferred fully developed S.oryzae grubs rather than half- grown pre-pupae and early pupae in exposed condition. Generally, eggs were laid on or near S. oryzae host larvae or pupae inside wheat kernel because of ectoparasitic nature of A. calandrae. More eggs are deposited in case of S. oryzae hosts at the abdominal region dorsally, sometimes eggs were laid on the meta-thoracic segment dorsally but rarely eggs were laid on late S. oryzae pupae prior to adult transformation. Oviposition by a mated A. calandrae female parasitoid was influenced by the host’s size and shape on exposed as well as unexposed (within seed kernel) conditions. Generally, the 3rd and the 4th instar larvae and pre-pupae of S. oryzae were preferred for egglaying in exposed condition. The parasite did not lay eggs on naked R. dominica larvae or pupae.

Published: December 2018

Rodents are regarded as crop pests, significant reservoirs and vectors for many zoonotic diseases around the world. Basic taxonomic information of rodents present in a locality can help understand which species are responsible as crop pest in that habitat. The phenomenon of the 50-year cycle of gregarious bamboo flowering and rodent outbreaks in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) of Bangladesh, rodents trapping were carried out in four habitats from March, 2009 to December, 2011 in Ruma upazila of Bandarban hill district. Variety of traps were used to capture small mammals. The captured species were measured and identified using taxonomical dichotomous keys and DNA bar-coding performed in Australia. A total of 14 different small mammalian species were captured of which nine belonging to the Muridae family, and one species each of Spalacidae, Sciuridae, Tupaiidae and Soricidae families. The dominant small mammal species captured were Rattus rattus (54.06%) followed by Mus musculus (26.39%), Rattus nitidus (10.98%), Suncus murinus (5.45%), Mus terricolor (1.09%), Mus cookii nagarum (0.97%), Cannomys badius (0.16%), Leopoldamys edwardsi (0.12%), Berylmys bowersi (0.12%), Vernaya fulva (0.08%), Rattus andamanensis (0.08%), Tupaia glis (0.04%) and Callosciurus pygerythrus (0.04%). Rattus nitidus, Leopoldamys edwardsi, Vernaya fulva, Rattus andamanensis, Berylmys bowersi and Mus cookii nagarum are new records of rodent species in Bangladesh. Ten individuals of Mus spp. (0.40%) were not identified to species level, requiring further genetic analysis to determine their species. The implications of these discoveries are discussed in terms of agricultural pests.
