The impact of vocational training on earnings in Bangladesh
In Bangladesh, persistent skills mismatches, limited access to formal training, and the dominance of informal employment continue to hinder earnings growth and increase income inequality. Despite the promotion of vocational training as a crucial policy tool for improving productivity and employability, there remains a dearth of robust empirical evidence on its wage returns. This paper examines the impact of vocational training on earnings in Bang…
The Haunted Body Politic
This article offers an applied psychoanalytic reading of Ahmed Saadawi's Frankenstein in Baghdad , examining how the monstrous Whatsitsname embodies collective trauma in post‐2003 Iraq. Building on Freud's Moses and Monotheism , the study theorizes the novel as a conceptual laboratory for understanding how societies metabolize violence when symbolic authority collapses. Using a qualitative interpretive methodology grounded in psychoanalytic herme…
Sanitation-related empowerment resources are associated with women's well-being, anxiety, and depression
Recent research has identified linkages between women's sanitation experiences, like safety and privacy, and their mental health. Our study examined associations between sanitation-related empowerment resources (Bodily Integrity, Safety and Security, Privacy, and Time) and mental health outcomes (well-being, depression, and anxiety). We conducted a secondary analysis of cross-sectional data collected in 2021–2022 from household surveys of women i…
Internal Migration and Its Socio-economic Impacts
Migration serves as a critical livelihood strategy for many of the rural poor, offering opportunities to improve their living conditions and advance their social standing. This study investigates the socio-economic effects of internal migration on migrants in Barishal City, Bangladesh, focusing on factors influencing migration, social and economic status and poverty levels before and after relocation. Results indicate modest improvements in both …
Navigating Trauma, Gender, and Professional Identity
Forensic crime fiction has traditionally emphasized procedural investigation, yet the psychological toll on professionals within these narratives remains underexplored. This study examines trauma, gender, and professional identity in Patricia Cornwell's Scarpetta trilogy— Postmortem (1990) , Cruel and Unusual (1993) , and The Body Farm (1994) . Employing a qualitative textual analysis, the research integrates Judith Herman's trauma theory with Fr…

The sustainability of private enterprises is foundational to the high-quality development of the national economy. This paper investigates the role of state ownership in enhancing the sustainable development of private enterprises, utilizing data of A-share private enterprises in China from 2009 to 2022. The findings indicate that state ownership significantly enhances sustainable development of private enterprises, with government agencies yield…

The tourism sector has evolved due to the incorporation of virtual reality (VR) into deeply immersive travel experiences, altering traditional tourism practices and offerings. The study examines how VR tourism affects visitors’ desires, brand truthfulness and travel ease. This study used qualitative methods by engaging fifteen participants in VR travel simulations and participating in semistructured interviews within a controlled environment. Res…
Crude Oil Price Variability and Employment Dynamics in Pakistan
This research analyzed the link between crude oil prices and employment in Pakistan's agricultural, industrial, and services sectors. Pakistan, being an oil‐importing country, is heavily dependent on imported oil for its macroeconomic performance. In 2022, the country imported crude oil worth $5.23 billion and was the 29 th largest importer of crude oil in the world. The entire economy, as well as each sector, is heavily dependent on imported oil…

Heavy menstrual bleeding and association with menstruation-specific resources
Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), clinically defined as excessive menstrual blood loss which interferes with a woman's physical, emotional, social, and/or material quality of life, is a highly prevalent yet understudied global health problem. This cross-sectional study examines associations between HMB and menstruation-related resources, to understand factors that may contribute to HMB. We conducted secondary analyses of household survey data colle…
Community perceptions of sustainability
Municipal governments and community organisations are key stakeholders in the mobilisation of global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through opportunities to make and implement sustainability policies at local levels. However, as perceptions of sustainability are normalised through globalising, colonial, neoliberal, and capitalist discourses, alternative stories of sustainability become marginalised. In response, this article positions diver…
When the Mountains Were Islands
In this essay I present an analysis of traditions about Noah’s ark local to the region of Laghman (in present-day Afghanistan). Though we often imagine Afghanistan as a landlocked space, local history tells a different tale. By the sixteenth century CE, the mountains of Laghman were seen to have been the landing site for Noah’s ark: the sole earthly refuge in a drowned world, temporarily transmuted into an island by a heaven-sent flood. Following…
Mixed-Species Groups and Genetically Confirmed Hybridization Between Sympatric Phayre’s Langur (Trachypithecus phayrei) and Capped Langur (T. pileatus) in Northeast Bangladesh
Removal from the wild endangers the once widespread long‐tailed macaque
In 2022, long‐tailed macaques ( Macaca fascicularis ), a once ubiquitous primate species, was elevated to Endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. In 2023, recognizing that the long‐tailed macaque is threatened by multiple factors: (1) declining native habitats across Southeast Asia; (2) overutilization for scientific, commercial, and recreational purposes; (3) inadequate regulatory m…
Nudging tax filing through text message combinations
Developing countries, with limited monitoring and auditing capabilities, face significant tax evasion issues. This study examines the impact of various text message combinations on promoting tax compliance, particularly in encouraging service providers to submit monthly sales tax returns in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. A randomised controlled trial involved 18,087 service providers and tested three types of SMS reminders. These included a basic …
Demonic Descents
This essay explores the theme of demonic descent in etiologies assigned to Lurs, Kurds, Afghans, and the Baloch across the past millennium. In it, I parse the imputation of nonhuman beginnings to these peoples while also examining retorts to that same accusation. While agents of premodern empires used the narrative of demonic descent to racialize peoples on the peripheries of sovereignty, demonized peoples replied with sacralizing genealogies tha…
Churchill's Heresiography
All the world at the palm of the hand
In this article I explore hagiographical narratives about Khwāja Yaḥyā Kabīr (d. 1430), among the earliest of the Sufi masters to be identified as Afghan. The social memory of Yaḥyā Kabīr's life exemplifies the function of hagiography as a key arena for the production of historical knowledge, generating a vivid and specific imaginary of the past for devotees. My goal here is to present a reading of the hagiography, but first I will situate it wit…
Experiences of aftermath of Covid-19 in relation to social, financial and health related aspects among previously hospitalized patients
Background There is increasing evidence of long-term consequences of COVID-19. The world has seen multidimensional impact of the pandemic and Bangladesh is no exception to that. Policymakers in Bangladesh laid out strategies to curb the initial spread of COVID-19. However, long-term consequences of COVID-19 received little or no attention in the country. Evidence suggests that people presumed to be recovered face multidimensional post-covid conse…
Sociodemographic, economic, physical, and mental health status of previously hospitalised patients with Covid-19 symptoms in Bangladesh
Introduction: Not much is known about the long-term consequences of COVID-19, popularly known as long COVID. This is particularly so in terms of patterns and clusters of symptoms over time, sociodemographic and economic characteristics of patients, and related clinical history. This is crucial for resource-constrained health systems such as Bangladesh to address long COVID as a forthcoming challenge. This protocol aims to investigate the conseque…

Trend and gender-based association of the Bangladeshi student suicide during the Covid-19 pandemic
BACKGROUND: Students are one of the most vulnerable groups to suicide. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, a Bangladeshi study was conducted assessing their suicide patterns regarding gender-based associations. But how has the pandemic changed the Bangladeshi students' suicide patterns is not studied yet, which is investigated herein. Besides, for the first time, this study provides GIS-based distribution of suicide cases across the country's administr…
Miraculous Edges of Rebellion
In this article I consider different accounts of the 1709 uprising in Kandahar led by Mīr Ways Khān, often remembered and revered by the name Ḥājjī Mīr Khān. Narratives of the uprising guide us through a world in which supernatural happenings are held to be constitutive elements of social and political fortunes. Despite this, the strange and miraculous aspects of the rebellion are not often considered in contemporary analyses of the event. I argu…

Who serves the urban poor? A geospatial and descriptive analysis of health services in slum settlements in Dhaka, Bangladesh
In Bangladesh, the health risks of unplanned urbanization are disproportionately shouldered by the urban poor. At the same time, affordable formal primary care services are scarce, and what exists is almost exclusively provided by non-government organizations (NGOs) working on a project basis. So where do the poor go for health care? A health facility mapping of six urban slum settlements in Dhaka was undertaken to explore the configuration of he…

‘We have the internet in our hands’
BACKGROUND: Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) which enable people to access, use and promote health information through digital technology, promise important health systems innovations which can challenge gatekeepers' control of information, through processes of disintermediation. College students, in pursuit of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information, are particularly affected by gatekeeping as strong social and cultura…
Strategies to Connect Low-Income Communities with the Proposed Sewerage Network of the Dhaka Sanitation Improvement Project, Bangladesh
In Bangladesh, approximately 31% of urban residents are living without safely managed sanitation, the majority of whom are slum residents. To improve the situation, Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (DWASA) is implementing the Dhaka Sanitation Improvement Project (DSIP), mostly funded by the World Bank. This study assessed the challenges and opportunities of bringing low-income communities (LICs) under a sewerage connection within the pro…
The effect of Covid-19 on maternal newborn and child health (MNCH) services in Bangladesh, Nigeria and South Africa
Global response to COVID-19 pandemic has inadvertently undermined the achievement of existing public health priorities and laregely overlooked local context. Recent evidence suggests that this will cause additional maternal and childhood mortality and morbidity especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Here we have explored the contextual factors influencing maternal, neonatal and children health (MNCH) care in Bangladesh, Nigeria a…

Green Boughs on the Graves
The aim of this article is to explore how popular historical knowledge disrupts the spacetimes produced by imperial power. To this end, I present my reading of a shrine guide that was composed by Asil al-Din Waʿiz in 1460 and that documents the city of Herat's blessed dead. This work, the Maqsad al-Iqbal, anchors Herat to space and time by both the graves of the city's myriad saints and the tales told about them locally. I investigate the ways in…
