The Sky is Falling! Examining Disaster Preparedness in Supported Independent Living
With increased occurrence of disasters, disaster preparedness for those living with a disability is paramount. Support workers of people living with a disability are directly implicated in their disaster preparedness, playing a critical role in evacuation and emergency responses, yet little is understood about their preparedness. This mixed-methods study explored attitudes, experiences, and knowledge of 137 Australian support workers working with…
Factors affecting self-reported occupational health-related problems
This study explores the factors affecting self-reported occupational health problems among improved traditional shrimp farmers in Southwestern Bangladesh. Data was collected from 270 farmers in the districts of Khulna, Satkhira, and Bagerhat using a structured questionnaire. According to stepwise and hierarchical logistic regression analyses, health problem reporting was associated with district of residence, education level, training, self-rated…
Hazards of the (Over-)Standardization of Academic Legal Works
To compare and classify objects on the basis of quantitative indicators is nothing new. Bereft of any direct subjectivity, the quantified method of assessing quality may be a useful tool to avoid or reduce any bias or other forms of human frailties in the assessment. However, the effort to assess the quality of academic output with quantifiable metrics is perhaps a relatively new but increasingly common phenomenon. This article argues that while …
Interplay of poverty, unemployment, education, and technology
Malaysia’s economic development strategies have evolved significantly since independence, focusing on reducing poverty, enhancing education, and integrating technology to foster sustainable growth. Despite substantial progress, challenges persist in achieving inclusive development across rural and urban sectors. This study examines the effectiveness of Malaysia’s New Economic Model (NEM) in addressing poverty and unemployment through technologica…
A systematic literature review on the relationship between education and gender ideology
The nexus between education and gender ideology is a debated issue worldwide, including in Bangladesh. This study aims to understand the educational influences on gender ideology. Authors have reviewed electronic databases, including Science Direct, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science, to collect published material from 2014 to 2023. Based on the research objectives, 20 studies were reviewed among 1438. The study found various theories and…
Indicators of community disaster fatigue
Adaptive flood mobilities in Bangladesh
Global climate change has altered the efficacy of traditional responses to flooding in Bangladesh and has necessitated the adoption of new actions, social networks and mobilities to strengthen the ongoing viability of the community. These changes need to be accompanied by appropriate government responses. We examined these changing mobilities in Bangladesh by first classifying them according to the relevant characteristics of emergency mobilities…
Ridership and the Built-Form Indicators
Although the Janmarg (people’s way) Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) system in Ahmedabad, India, achieved worldwide accolades since its introduction, it has not reached its expected ridership. In analyzing ridership, research shows that external factors of BRTS such as built-form indicators have a potentially greater effect on ridership than its internal factors. In order to assess the ridership of the Janmarg BRTS, a methodology was developed bas…
The Changing Role of Women in Resilience, Recovery and Economic Development at the Intersection of Recurrent Disaster
Two million people were affected in the floodplains and low-lying areas in Sirajgang in 2012. Seven hundred and fifty families were made homeless and forced to live in small temporary huts on the river protection embankments. Unemployment rose alarmingly and the jobless left their villages to find work in larger cities, leaving behind their vulnerable and insecure families. Consequently, women were increasingly required to take on totally unfamil…
Zero Waste Engineering
Zero Waste Engineering
"The idea of "Zero-Waste Engineering" has been developing over years, in many areas of engineering, such as energy production (renewable energy), construction (green buildings), and many others. This book is a huge step in the continued march toward truly sustainable engineering practices. This book presents methods in various areas for sustainability purposes, such as new mathematical models, recyclable material selection, and renewable energy. …
Predictors of Young Australians' Attitudes Toward Aboriginals, Asians and Arabs
Measures of stereotypes, affect, perceived threat and relative deprivation were used to predict attitudes toward three minority groups in Australia: Aboriginals, Asians and Arabs. Participants included 139 Anglo-Saxon volunteer university students (60 male, 79 female). The findings highlighted the fact that attitudes were significantly positive towards Aboriginals compared with attitudes towards Asians and Arabs. However, Asian stereotypes were d…
Dimensions of Contact as Predictors of Intergroup Anxiety, Perceived Out-Group Variability, and Out-Group Attitude
This study tested an integrative model of how dimensions of contact (quantitative, qualitative, and intergroup) are related to intergroup anxiety, perceived out-group variability, and out group attitude. Data were collected in a field study of minority (Hindu) and majority (Muslim) religious groups in Bangladesh. Path analysis revealed that dimensions of contact were significant predictors of all three criterion variables, although different dime…
Memory for stereotype‐related material–a replication study with real‐life social groups
This paper reports a study comparing the memorability of information that either confirmed, disconfirmed, or was irrelevant to, particular real‐life social group stereotypes. Memory for both stereotype‐confirming and stereotype‐disconfirming material was enhanced relative to that for material which was stereotype‐irrelevant. Further, there were no differences between the memory for stereotype‐confirming and ‐disconfirming information. Implication…
