Assessing positive and negative effects of global supply chains through water footprinting
While the global supply chains (GSCs) of industries cause excessive pressure on sustainable freshwater availability in the regions involved in the GSCs, they simultaneously deliver socio-economic benefits which have attracted less attention in the context of water footprinting. Using a multi-regional input–output analysis, we proposed a framework to analyze the balance between the economic value-added (VA) and the environmental pressure of freshw…

This study examines the mental health issue experienced by flood survivors, focusing on depression, anxiety, …
Internally Displaced People Induced by Riverbank Erosion
Riverbank erosion constitutes a major environmental hazard, particularly in the northwestern regions of Bangladesh, where the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) continues to rise. These displaced populations are compelled to navigate shifting socio-economic landscapes while contending with a range of persistent challenges. This study focuses on the IDPs of Phulchari upazila in Gaibandha district, aiming to assess the socio-economic and…

According to stepwise and hierarchical logistic regression analyses, health problem reporting was associated with district of residence, education level, training, self-rated…
Covid-19 social and economic disruptions, mental health, and coping behaviours among young Canadians
The COVID-19 pandemic increased the prevalence of mental health disorders among youths. This study explored the association between COVID-19’s social and economic disruptions, mental health disorders, and coping behaviours among youths using Statistics Canada’s COVID-19 and Mental Health data. The study included 895 participants aged 18–24 years (52.9% women). Social and economic disruptions, healthy and unhealthy coping behaviours, and mental he…
A systematic review of the nexus between climate change and social media
Social media and climate change are some of the most controversial issues of the 21st century. Despite numerous studies, our understanding of current social media trends, popular hot topics, and future challenges related to climate change remains significantly limited. This research presents a systematic review of climate change and social media for the first time. Review the studies published between 2009 and 2022 in places like Google Scholar, …
Analysis of effects of meteorological variables on dengue incidence in Bangladesh using VAR and Granger causality approach
Background: Dengue fever is a serious public health issue in Bangladesh, where its incidence rises with the monsoon. Meteorological variables are believed to be responsible factors among others. Therefore, this study examines the effects of meteorological variables (temperature, rainfall, and humidity) on dengue incidence in Bangladesh. While previous studies have examined the relationship between dengue and meteorological variables using single …
Evaluation of noise pollution impact on health in Dhaka city, Bangladesh
Objectives The purpose of this research was to look at the interrelation between adult health issues in Dhaka and noise pollution. Methods The methodology involved a cross-sectional survey conducted in five different land use categories, with a sample size of 1,016 individuals. A validated questionnaire that focused on sources of perceived noise pollution and health issues related to noise was used to gather subjective data for the study. Objecti…
The local governance of Covid‐19
This article investigates how a district administration in Bangladesh managed COVID‐19 pandemic risk governance. Interviews were conducted with civil administrators, local government representatives, and representatives from community‐based organizations and nongovernmental organizations. The findings indicate that, despite limited health facilities, widespread ignorance of the virus, joblessness among wage earners, economic pressure, and a massi…
Non-state initiatives on enhancing counter-trafficking of Rohingya influx in Cox's Bazar of Bangladesh
Human trafficking is the third most lucrative form of trafficking in the world (following drugs and counterfeit goods). Multiple outbreaks of unrest between October 2016 and August 2017 in the Rakhine State of Myanmar triggered ~745,000 influxes of Rohingyas crossing into Bangladesh through the border boundaries at Teknaf and Ukhiya sub-districts of Cox's Bazar. In this regard, the media confirmed that over a thousand Rohingya people, particularl…
Health impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic among Canadians living with disabilities
The devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on general health has received extensive attention in recent research. However, limited attention has been given to examining the health impacts of the pandemic among people living with disabilities. This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on three aspects of health among Canadians living with a disability: (1) perceived physical health, (2) perceived mental health, and (3) unmet hea…
Change in cyclone disaster vulnerability and response in coastal Bangladesh
The number of deaths owing to tropical cyclones in Bangladesh has significantly reduced. Category 4 Cyclone Gorky in 1991 and Sidr in 2007 caused 147,000 and 4,500 deaths respectively, whereas Category 1 Cyclone Mora in 2017 resulted in six. Face‐to‐face interviews with 362 residents, participant observation, and focus‐group discussions answer a research question about how change in coastal areas has contributed to this outcome. The study conside…

Land Use and Land Cover Change Modeling and Future Potential Landscape Risk Assessment Using Markov-CA Model and Analytical Hierarchy Process
Land use and land cover change (LULCC) has directly played an important role in the observed climate change. In this paper, we considered Dujiangyan City and its environs (DCEN) to study the future scenario in the years 2025, 2030, and 2040 based on the 2018 simulation results from 2007 and 2018 LULC maps. This study evaluates the spatial and temporal variations of future LULCC, including the future potential landscape risk (FPLR) area of the 200…
Impact of co-management on tree diversity and carbon sequestration in protected areas
Forest Protected Area (PA) co-management, which integrates local communities in the forest management structures, was started in Bangladesh in 2004 to effectively manage and conserve forest resources. This study has investigated if the initiative has met its objectives. Using NDVI maps, we applied a stratified random sampling framework to identify sample plots. Phytosociological and carbon-sequestration data were collected from two co-managed PAs…
