    Open AccessMd Mizanur Rahman, Ying Yao et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2026

    Background: Bhutan lacks comprehensive data on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) despite its growing population and rising disease burden. This study provides the first national and subnational assessment of HRQoL inequalities and their determinants in Bhutan's general population. Methods: We analysed data from 11 340 adults aged ≥15 years from the 2023 Bhutan National Health Survey, a nationally representative cross-sectional survey. We ass…

  • Why urban communities in low- and middle-income countries participate in global health research

    Open AccessMarie-Catherine Gagnon-Dufresne, Iván Sarmiento et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2026

    BACKGROUND: Although community participation is a key strategy for decolonizing global health research, there are significant difficulties in the meaningful engagement of urban communities in low- and middle-income countries. Addressing barriers and leveraging enablers before beginning research could facilitate more equitable collaborations. To guide researchers in this endeavour, this scoping review mapped available evidence and identified facto…

  • Theorizing the Individual in Anticolonial Muslim Thought

    Open AccessMd Mizanur RahmanARTICLEPolitical Theory2026

    This article contests the tendency to see Islam as overwhelmingly collective and theorizes the individual from Islamic history and tradition of thought. It does so by recovering and recasting the ideas of Abul Hashim (1905–1974), a prominent South Asian anticolonial Muslim thinker and political actor. It examines how Hashim reconstructs Quranic ideas to oppose modern individualism primarily due to its loss of moral unity and advances a theory of …

  • Industry 4.0 Technologies and Proactive Environmental Strategies

    Open AccessMd Nafizur Rahman, Md Mizanur Rahman et al.ARTICLESustainable Development2026Referências: 5

    Coupling the ecological modernization theory with the natural resource‐based view of firms, we investigate the impact of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies and proactive environmental strategies on firms' environmental performance. Additionally, we assess the mediating effects of circular economy practices and green innovation on the relationship between Industry 4.0 technologies, proactive environmental strategies, and environmental performance. U…

This study projects UHC progress in seven South Asian countries by 2030, focusing on two crucial underpinning components, primary healthcare (PHC) service coverage and financial risk protection. METHODS: We applied Bayesian random-effects models to project UHC indicators linked to PHC and financial risk protection…

    Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a critical psychiatric condition that is spreading faster among adolescents than adults around the globe. In low and middle-income countries, married female adolescents are more vulnerable to MDD than unmarried female adolescents. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of MDD among currently married female adolescents (CMFAs) in Bangladesh and determine its association with sociodemographic factors, fac…

  • Veiling in rural Bangladesh

    Open AccessMd Mizanur RahmanARTICLEPolitics and Religion2025Referências: 23

    While much has been written about urban-educated women’s veiling in recent decades, the proliferation of veiling, or wearing a burqa, among ordinary rural women has received little attention. This paper is an attempt at such an inquiry in the context of Bangladesh. It juxtaposes historical, literary, and theological resources with recently collected ethnographic and interview data to show how the landscape of veiling has radically transformed in …

  • Investigating the changing land use patterns and their impacts on ecosystem in the Teesta River Basin

    Open AccessMizanur Rahman, Md Mizanur RahmanARTICLEJournal of Infrastructure Policy…2024

    This study investigated the changing land use patterns and their impacts on ecosystem in the Teesta River Basin of northwestern Bangladesh. Although anthropocentric land use patterns, including agricultural land use, settlements, built areas, and waterbody loss, have been increasing in the Nilphamari district, by negatively affecting local ecosystems, they have not been identified by prior research. Limitations of contemporary literature motivate…

  • Trends and projections of age-appropriate vaccination coverage in 41 low- and middle- income countries in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, 2000–2030

    Open AccessMd Rashedul Islam, Md Mizanur Rahman et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2024

    Introduction: Routine immunization programs have focused on increasing vaccination coverage, which is equally important for decreasing vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs), particularly in low- and lower-middle-income countries (LMICs). We estimated the trends and projections of age-appropriate vaccination coverage at the regional and national levels, as well as place of residence and wealth index in LMICs. Methods: In total, 174 nationally repres…

  • Stagnation of maternal mortality decline in Bangladesh between 2010 and 2016 in spite of an increase in health services utilisation

    Open AccessKarar Zunaid Ahsan, Gustavo Angeles et al.ARTICLEJournal of Global Health2024

    Background: After a 40% reduction in maternal mortality ratio (MMR) during 2001-2010 in Bangladesh, the MMR level stagnated between 2010 and 2016 despite a steady increase in maternal health services use and improvements in overall socioeconomic status. We revisited the factors that contributed to MMR decline during 2001-2010 and examined the changes in these factors between 2010 and 2016 to explain the MMR stagnation in Bangladesh. Methods: We u…
