Multicultural Verse in Al-Qur'an
The Qur'anic verses pertaining to multiculturalism provide guidance to humanity in addressing the challenges posed by conflicts stemming from a lack of understanding among society about the existence of cultural variety within the state and society. Naturally, every battle will lead to humanitarian crises like persecution, homicide, and so forth. The Muslims have learned how to handle conflicts from the teachings of the Quran, which is their sour…
An Examination of Islamic Family Law in Kampar Regency, Riau
Marriage is the union of a male and a female to establish a harmonious household, which is a natural inclination of human beings to form partnerships. However, empirical evidence in the field contradicts this notion, since it observes numerous conflicts inside households, sometimes even leading to divorce. Kampa sub-district, located within the Kampar district, recorded a total of 9 divorce cases in the year 2021. The objective of this study is t…
Considering Alternate Pathways of Drinking-Water Contamination
Deep tubewells are a key component of arsenic mitigation programs in rural Bangladesh. Compared to widely prevalent shallow tubewells, deep tubewells reduce ground-water arsenic exposure and provide better microbial water quality at source. However, the benefits of clean drinking-water at these more distant sources may be abated by higher levels of microbial contamination at point-of-use. One such potential pathway is the use of contaminated surf…

Prenatal arsenic exposure and drowning among children in Bangladesh
There is increasing concern regarding adverse effects of prenatal arsenic exposure on the neurodevelopment of children. We analyzed mortality data for children, who were born to 11,414 pregnant women between 2002 and 2004, with an average age of 5 years of follow-up. Individual drinking-water arsenic exposure during pregnancy was calculated using tubewell water arsenic concentration between last menstrual period and date of birth. There were 84 d…
A prospective cohort study of stroke mortality and arsenic in drinking water in Bangladeshi adults
The result suggests that arsenic exposure was associated with increased stroke mortality risk in this population, and was more significant in women compared to men
Protective Benefits of Deep Tube Wells Against Childhood Diarrhea in Matlab, Bangladesh
Objectives. We investigated whether deep tube wells installed to provide arsenic-free groundwater in rural Bangladesh have the added benefit of reducing childhood diarrheal disease incidence. Methods. We recorded cases of diarrhea in children younger than 5 years in 142 villages of Matlab, Bangladesh, during monthly community health surveys in 2005 and 2006. We surveyed the location and depth of 12 018 tube wells and integrated these data with di…
Influence of Latrine Proximity and Type on Tubewell Water Quality and Diarrheal Disease in Bangladesh
Diarrheal diseases are endemic in Bangladesh, where sanitation is poor, and untreated drinking water extracted from shallow (<43 m) tubewells could partially contribute to disease propagation. This study measures the effects of local population–environment context on tubewell water quality and diarrheal disease incidence. The study site includes six villages in Matlab, Bangladesh, with approximately 12,000 residents. Study data include monthly Es…
Social and spatial processes associated with childhood diarrheal disease in Matlab, Bangladesh
Integration of Spatial and Social Network Analysis in Disease Transmission Studies
This study presents a case study of how social network and spatial analytical methods can be used simultaneously for disease transmission modeling. The paper first reviews strategies employed in previous studies and then offers the example of transmission of two bacterial diarrheal diseases in rural Bangladesh. The goal is to understand how diseases vary socially above and beyond the effects of the local neighborhood context. Patterns of cholera …
Effectiveness of an integrated approach to reduce perinatal mortality
The continuum of care approach provided through the integration of service delivery modes decreased the perinatal mortality rate within a short period of time. Further testing of this model is warranted within the government health system in Bangladesh and other low-income countries

Microbiology of pond ecosystems in rural Bangladesh
In rural Bangladesh various components of four ponds, including aquatic plants, snails, water, oysters, and sediment were studied for faecal contamination for three years, from July 1994, to June 1997. Faecal coliform counts ranged from 2.80–5.45, 2.95–5.64, 1.49–2.05, 2.51–4.60 and 1.30–3.15 log10cfu/gm or ml in plant, snail, water, oyster and sediment samples respectively during the study period. Snail and sediment samples showed highest and lo…
Recent contributions of behavioural and biomedical scientists in applied anthropology of hygiene practices and management of diarrhoea in Bangladesh
In the past few years anthropologists, sociologists and biostatisticians have made contributions on hygiene practices and management of diarrhoea in relation to young children in rural Bangladesh. The cultural practices of caregivers with regard to washing hands after cleansing the anus of young children following defectation and disposing of the stool often do not fulfil the biomedical criteria for prevention of the transmission of diarrhoea-cau…
Does ORT reduce diarrhoeal mortality
Trends in infant and child mortality from all diarrhoea-related causes and from acute watery diarrhoea were examined in a rural community in Bangladesh, during the three years preceding and the 10 years following the introduction of an oral rehydration therapy (ORT) programme. A significant increase in infant mortality due to acute watery diarrhoea was observed throughout the study period. Child mortality due to acute watery diarrhoea did not dec…
Post‐flood nutritional anthropometry of children in Matlab, Bangladesh
The Matlab area was severely affected by the floods of 1988 in Bangladesh. To assess the impact of flooding in Matlab the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B) performed post‐flood surveys. Six‐hundred households were surveyed. In addition, length, weight, and mid‐upper arm circumference were measured in children aged 6–35 months. Baseline economic status appeared to be higher inside the Matlab embankment, whe…
Transferring Health and Family Planning Service Innovations to the Public Sector
The International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh, has launched a field experiment in two rural thanas of Bangladesh to test the transferability of its successful health and family planning experiment in Matlab to the Ministry of Health and Population Control service system. This paper reviews the Matlab experiment with particular attention to its organization and identifies elements for transfer. The intervention strategy and …
