Bangladesh is a creating and Child Labour is one of the fundamental issues of this country. The fundamental points of this study discover the essential reasons for kids are perceived as kid work and attempt to know the causes behind presence a negative connection between youngster training and kid work. This paper means to recognize Health and Safety issues of Child Labour in Bangladesh. Kid work is step by step being perceived as a multi-faceted social issue in our country. Consequently, youngsters regularly have 'no voice' to communicate their own necessities. The state, society, guardians and worldwide organizations need to assume reciprocal parts in disposing of kid work. This infers that all gatherings should be ready to compromise - a cycle that should be monetarily reasonable and at last in light of a legitimate concern for the youngsters who don't have the development to choose for themselves. Specialized collaboration to legislatures, non-administrative associations and different offices in this attempt should be emphatically advanced. This paper audits investigates the kid work circumstance in Bangladesh and the current legitimate structure for youngster work and shows that there remain holes in the lawful and strategy system of Bangladesh.
The cost of Block production which largely depends on the cost of the constituent materials, affects the overall cost of construction. In this paper, a model based on mixture experiment was formulated to optimize cost of block (in Naira). Using the model, one can predict the cost per cubic meter of block if the mix ratios are given. The model can also give possible mix ratios for a specified cost. The model is tested for lack of fit using statically tool and found adequate.

The research is a human and context-oriented investigation within the domains of information systems (IS), human resources information systems (HRIS), leadership, human resource management (HRM), and tacit knowledge. HRIS and management are the two primary ideas of the research, while HRM serves as the application domain and management functions of management for HRIS. Tacit knowledge refers to the understanding and interpretation of actions that render leadership activities both nuanced and effective. The theoretical framework examines the types of information systems generated by different modes of thought and action. The framework is predicated on traditional, regular, and stereotypical thinking and behavior, which obstructs the ability to observe, discover, implement, and use alternate thoughts and actions that might yield valuable and distinctive ideas or activities for information systems design. The primary objective is to comprehend, analyze, and articulate the phenomena associated with effective leadership and the function of HRIS inside organizations.

The emergence of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, represents a significant global public health threat. Initially named the Novel Coronavirus by the WHO, it was later categorised as SARS-CoV-2, sharing similarities with the 2003 SARS virus. Due to its high transmissibility, the resulting COVID-19 disease was declared an airborne, high-consequence infectious disease. By April 2020, COVID-19 had caused over 1 million confirmed cases and 50,000 deaths worldwide. This study evaluates healthcare workers’ knowledge and perceptions of COVID-19 at AFH Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. Utilising a cross-sectional quantitative approach, a self-administered survey assessed socio-demographic data, sources of knowledge, and perceptions. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS to identify trends and gaps. Findings indicated that while healthcare workers generally have adequate knowledge of COVID-19, significant gaps exist, particularly in understanding virus transmission and incubation. Misconceptions were also present among allied health workers. The study highlights the need for ongoing education, accurate information dissemination, and targeted interventions to effectively equip healthcare professionals with the tools to manage COVID-19. The results can inform public health strategies and education programs to improve patient outcomes and control the pandemic’s spread. Addressing knowledge gaps and providing reliable information to healthcare workers is critical in mitigating the impact of COVID-19 and ensuring effective public health responses.

Background: Among all breast cancers, 5 to 10% are hereditary and related to mutation of BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene. To date, extensive researches have been carried out for detection of mutations in the exon2 of BRCA1 gene. Genetic study on these two genes from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue in Bangladeshi population has not been reported so far. Objective: To identify mutation in exon2 of BRCA1 gene from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue of adult Bangladeshi Bangali female patients with breast cancer. Methods: The research was cross-sectional descriptive type of study. The study was conducted on Adult Bangladeshi Bangali female patients with breast cancer aged more than 18 years. A questionnaire was developed to record information on socio-demographic and reproductive characteristics. The data was analyzed by SPSS (Statistical package for the social sciences) version 23.0. The whole sequence of exon2 of chromosome 17 was amplified by short range PCR using the Gotaq master mix and primer sequence. The amplicons were confirmed by 2% agarose gel electrophoresis and sequencing was done by Sanger sequencer. Data analysis was performed using Chromas® software version 2.33 and Mega 7 software. The quary sequences were compared with the NCBI database. Results: Average age of the breast cancer patients was 45.46 (± 11.52) and the mean age at menarche was 12.46 (± 0.646). In this study, new mutations along with known mutations were found in exon2 of BRCA1 gene of eight adult female breast cancer patients. The mutations are insertions (C>A, C>T, T>A, G>T, G>C, T>C, A>T, C>G), deletion (C_) and single nucleotide substitution (T-C, G-A, T-G, C-G, T-A, G-C, C-A) in types. Conclusions: The aim of the research was to identify mutation in exon2 of BRCA1 gene. Eight patients have mutation in their DNA sequence revealed from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue. Further studies are required to evaluate whether these mutation contribute to breast cancer or not. Identification of known mutation along with new mutation with this small sample size emphasizes the importance of exploration the genetic makeup of Bangladeshi population to develop a database for proper screening and genetic counseling of the disease.
Any injury to the body, including damage to the skin's outer layer and impairment of its normal structure and function, is referred to as a wound. Since the beginning of time, people have recognized the crucial nature of wound healing, and significant resources have been used to create cutting-edge wound dressings made of the best materials possible for quick and effective recovery. A vital part of this healing process is played by medicinal herbs. Many studies conducted recently have focused on developing novel wound dressings that contain infusions from medicinal plants or their purified active components, providing viable substitutes for conventional dressings. Several investigations have looked into how various herbal remedies aid in the healing of wounds. This article intends to explain and examine the molecular components of wound healing that are aided by natural plant-based products. The remedies made from herbs participate in various phases of wound healing and work through a variety of processes. Certain herbal medications also increase the formation of important factors that are involved in re-epithelialization, angiogenesis, granulation tissue development, and collagen fiber deposition, such as transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). encouraging anti-inflammatory in nature and antioxidant qualities at different stages of the wound-healing process. The field of herbal medicine and other natural products are used in traditional and alternative medicine to treat wounds. These methods have various benefits over conventional treatments, such as enhanced efficacy owing to different ways in which they work action, antibacterial qualities, and long-term safety when using wound dressings.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic progressive disease characterized by a progressive decline in pancreatic beta-cell function and insulin resistance. Multiple blood glucose-lowering agents targeting the main pathogenic mechanisms of insulin deficiency and insulin resistance are available for the management of type 2 diabetes. However, many patients do not achieve or maintain recommended blood glucose targets even with combination therapies, which are often delayed. Therefore, this study aimed to observe the effects of Empagliflozin as an add-on to Metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This was a retrospective observational study and was conducted in the Department of Medicine, Popular Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from January 2023 to December 2023. In our study, we included 255 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients who came to receive treatment at the outdoor department of medicine of our hospital. The patients were divided into three groups- Group A (Patients who received the combination of Empagliflozin 10 mg and Metformin 1000 mg), Group B (Patients who received Empagliflozin 10 mg), and Group C (Patients who received Metformin 1000 mg). Result: We found the mean age was 55.8 ± 11.3 years. Most of our patients were male (60%). Among our patients, the majority (57.25%) of them had HbA1c of 8% to 9%. Most patients (60%) got < 8% HbA1c level in Empagliflozin 10 mg combined with metformin 1000 mg group at the end of our study. The majority (9.41%) of patients in the Empagliflozin 10 mg group had >9% HbA1c level compared to other groups. Dizziness, dyspepsia, diarrhea, nasopharyngitis, hyperglycemia, and hypoglycemia were the most common adverse events. Conclusion: The findings of the study showed that in people with Type 2 diabetes and insufficient glycaemic control, 52 weeks’ treatment with empagliflozin 10 mg as an add-on to metformin 1000 mg resulted in sustained and clinically substantial decreases in HbA1c, body weight,FPG, systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

The recovery of lateritic gravel contributes to the reduction of road construction costs and environmental impact. These materials are of particular interest in road construction because of their abundance, especially in tropical countries, as in the case of Congo. The results obtained on the soils of ʽʽTSANGA and TSIAKIʼʼ show an identical appearance of the two particle size curves, with more fines in the TSANGA sample. Both soils are moderately plastic and their properties predispose them to mechanical treatment (TSIAKI soils) and hydraulic binders (TSANGA soils). The lateritic gravels of TSIAKI can be used as road sub-base for medium traffic while those of TSANGA as sub-base for low traffic. The geotechnical properties of the two samples differ due to the mineralogy, petrography and microstructure which vary from one deposit to another. The SEM microstructure study shows two matrices completely made of kaolinite and the matrix facies are cemented by hematite. X-ray microscopy and SEM allowed the differentiation of goethite and hematite to distinguish the two forms of iron oxides. The TSIAKI soil has a normal iron oxide content (mainly goethite), and has less quartz and kaolinite, which could justify its high CBR index.
