A Critical Review of Polystyrene Microplastics in Soil–Plant Systems
The extensive utilisation and inadequate disposal of polystyrene microplastics (PS‐MPs) pose significant threats to soil–plant ecosystems. The present review assembles evidence concerning their behaviour and impacts within soil–plant systems. In soils, PS‐MPs alter the composition of microbial communities, elevate respiration stress, and regulate the activity of extracellular enzymes. In term of soil fauna, PS‐MPs show oxidative, genotoxic, and i…

Development and Psychometric Evaluation of Life Skills Scale
The word adolescence is used interchangeably with young people. This current research aims to formulate and evaluate an indigenous scale to assess life skills in adolescents. The scale was standardized in multiple phases including the search for relevant constructs and item generation, initial data collection and empirical analysis. Forty-six items were finalized through a committee approach for initial data collection. A sample of the current re…
The International Global Atmospheric Chemistry project comments on the revised WHO air quality guidelines
In September 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced updated global air quality guidelines providing health-based targets for six key air pollutants [1]. The annual targets for pollutant concentrations were reduced fourfold for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) to 10 μg m−3 and by 50% and 25% respectively for the mass concentration of particles smaller than and equal to 2.5 μm (PM2.5) and 10 μm (PM10) to 5 μg m−3 and 15 μg m−3. New targets were …
Aerosol climatology characterization over Bangladesh using ground-based and remotely sensed satellite measurements
Atmospheric aerosols affect human health, alter cloud optical properties, influence the climate and radiative balance, and contribute to the cooling of the atmosphere. Aerosol climatology based on aerosol robotic network (AERONET) and ozone monitoring instrument (OMI) data from two locations (Urban Dhaka and coastal Bhola Island) over Bangladesh was conducted for 8 years (2012–2019), focusing on two characterization schemes. Four aerosol paramete…
Creativity and Its Association With Mindfulness, Emotions Regulation, and Psychological Well-Being in Adolescents
Purpose of the study: This study aims to investigate the relationship of creativity to mindfulness, emotion regulation, and psychological well-being among adolescents. Methodology: The cross-sectional and correlational study used purposive convenient sampling, and collected data from 600 adolescents aged 15 to 24. The data collection was conducted in colleges and universities using English as the medium of instruction. For this purpose, the scale…
A descriptive study of Forcefully Displaced Myanmar Nationals (FDMN) presenting for care at public health sector hospitals in Bangladesh
BACKGROUND: In 2017 hundreds of thousands of 'Rohingya' fled to camps for Forcefully Displaced Myanmar Nationals (FDMN) in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. OBJECTIVE: To describe the FDMNs presenting for care at public health facilities in Bangladesh so as to understand the health problems faced by the FDMNs and the burden on these public health facilities. METHODS: This study combined a retrospective review of existing hospital and clinic data with pros…
Selective Removal of Malachite Green Dye from Aqueous Solutions by Supported Liquid Membrane Technology
A lab-scale study on the application of supported liquid membranes (SLM) has been conducted for recovery and selective removal of Malachite Green dye from wastewater. Naturally occurring non-toxic vegetable oils have been used as membrane liquids. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films have been used as supports for the liquid membrane. Various parameters affecting the dye permeation such as initial dye concentration, pH, stripping acid concentrati…
MedEdWorld Online Global Collaborative Learning Network Using Adobe Connect
Online collaborative learning is an idea whose time has come. 1 In recent years, online collaborative learning networking has been seen as an expanding example within the tertiary level of education. Many educational institutions use the Internet for online collaborative learning. 2 MedEdWorld is an international online collaborative learning network initiated by the Association of Medical Education in Europe (AMEE), aimed at medical schools for …
Campus Community Partnership in Bedside Teaching
Bedside teaching is an essential component of medical education and provides the learners an opportunity to use nearly all of their senses. A comprehensive physical examination can provide a diagnosis of more than 70% of diseases.1 Sometimes it is thought that bedside teaching is applicable only to the hospital setting which is not true. Bedside teaching skills can apply to any situation where the teaching occurs in the presence of the patient, i…
Child Malnutrition in South Asia
Child malnutrition is the most pressing problem of the world, damaging to both children and nations. Malnutrition is costing poor countries up to 3 per cent of their yearly GDP. The pessimistic scenario suggests that child malnourishment will increase from 166 to 175 million children by 2020. Therefore, a detailed analysis of the plight of these children, and the root causes of malnutrition, are of paramount importance. The underlying causes of u…

Ideals and Realities — Selected Essays of Abdus Salam
The latest edition of "Ideals and Realities" includes some of the most recent talks given by Professor Abdus Salam. They replace a few essays which were published in the second edition. An attempt has also been made to update some of the figures rendered absolete with the passage of time.

International Science Transfer
Science has so far been treated as a marginal activity by the Third World, in spite of the fact that technology for development depends on it. The role of the International Centre for Physics in Trieste is reviewed and its success in bringing advanced science to its students from the Third World promises well for the future. But the scientific communities from the developed countries and the United Nations Agencies must help in the setting up of …

Expatriate Nationals And Promotion Of Education And Research In Developing Countries
The thesis of this paper is that for long-term effectiveness in development, technology transfers must always be preceded by science transfer; that the science of today is the technology of the future; that science transfer is effected by and to communities of scientists; that these communities need stability, long-term commitment, generous patronage, self-governance and free international contacts to grow. Such communities must be allowed to gro…
