EXAMINING THE EFFECT OF BOUNDARY STRENGTH AT HOME ON WORK-FAMILY CONFLICT-OUTCOME RELATIONSHIP
No full textThe research will evaluate the relationship of work-family conflict (WFC) with some of the work and family-related outcomes (i.e., life satisfaction, job satisfaction, marital satisfaction) that were derived from a thorough literature review. I will collect data from human subjects along with the evaluation of some secondary data sources. The study expects that boundary strength at home will help dual role players (e.g. work role, family role) to reduce the adverse effect of WFC. Data will be collected in early Spring 2019 and the thesis will be completed by mid-April 2019. Contributions to the literature and directions for future research will be offered

AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICSOne of the most effective strategies for reducing child labour is women empowerment. The key
purpose of the present study is to investigate the impact of women empowerment through
agriculture and reduction of child labour in some villages at Narsingdi district in Bangladesh. A
pre-structured questionnaire was used to collect data through face to face interview from
randomly selected sample size of 100 respondents from some villages. The logistic regression
model is used here to assess the impact of women’s empowerment on child labour. The main
findings indicated that about 98% respondents had child helping hand who don’t use to go to
school, but after starting work of the women of that family the education, nutrition of the chlildren
increases. Agriculture as well as livestock rearing was the main occupation among the
respondents. Most of the respondents were found owner and labour of their work. Their main
source of income provided from some occupation like- business, service, fish farming, livestock
rearing, and day laboring. The respondents have overall good farming experience. Most of the
respondents (99%) have Leadership quality and were able to make their own decision. The
economic participation rate in family of the respondents was very high (100%), on the other hand
they (18%) had little loan opportunities. The study suggests that there needs a lot of work for
empowering women to eradicate child labour. Government and nongovernment organizations
should take proper step to increase women empowerment as well as ensure women’s fundamental
rights make their life easy and make them more empowered so that women can generate income
and be provided with greater access to finance then families can be lifted out of poverty and
children are more likely to stay in school. Because the additional income helps families to mitigate
the need to rely on children for labour. As a result, it is apparent that as women empowerment
rises the problem of child labour decrease

SEMESTER: JANUARY-JUNE, 2015A field experiment was conducted at the Research Field and Agronomy Laboratory of Shere-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka 1207 during the period from November, 2014 to
March, 2015 to evaluate the effect of nitrogen levels on growth, yield and seed quality of
wheat. The experiment comprised of five nitrogen levels viz. (i) N
= Control (no nitrogen),
(ii) N
1
= 25% less nitrogen from the recommended dose, (iii) N
2
0
= Recommended dose of
nitrogen, (iv) N
3
= 25% higher nitrogen than recommended dose, (v) N
= 50% higher nitrogen
than recommended dose and four wheat varieties viz. (i) V
1
4
= BARI gom 21, (ii) V
= BARI
gom 23 (iii) V
3
= BARI gom 24 and (iv) V
= BARI gom 27. The experiment was laid out
in a split plot design with three replications. Data were collected on different parameters of
growth, yield attributes, yield and seed quality of wheat. Results revealed that N
4
(25%
higher nitrogen than recommended dose) gave the highest grain yield (3.41 t ha-1) which was
statistically at par with N
(recommended dose of nitrogen) (3.29 t ha-1). This might be
attributed to highest number of spikes m
2
-2
(194.46), spike length (15.61 cm), number of
spikelets spike
-1
(20.91), number of grains spike
-1
(48.17) and 1000-grain weight (47.08 g).
Out of 4 varieties V
3
(BARI gom 24) showed highest grain yield (3.02 t ha
) which was
statistically similar with V
4
(BARI gom 27) (2.89 t ha
-1
-1
). The variety BARI gom 27 (V
) also
showed higher number of grains spike
-1
(46.65) and 1000-grain weight (49.53 g). In respect
of seed quality, N
(recommended dose) showed higher quality of seed which was
statistically similar to N
2
(25% higher nitrogen dose than recommended) because this
nitrogen dose gave highest germination percentage (96.67 %), vigor index (10.34), shoot
length (19.94cm) and dry weight seedling
3
-1
(0.19 g). In the case of variety, V
(BARI gom
27) showed the higher seed quality attributes of germination percentage (95.20%), vigor
index (10.52) shoot length (20.51cm) and dry weight seedling
-1
(0.18 g). Regarding the
interaction of nitrogen doses and varieties, N

V
3
, N

V

and N
3
V
were shown best in
producing quality seeds. From the above results it was concluded that the recommended dose
and 25% higher nitrogen than recommended dose with BARI gom 27 shows better for
producing higher yield and quality seed.

Macroeconomic Determinants of Bangladesh’s Foreign Exchange Reserves: Evidence from Time Series Analysis
No full textThere is no denying that an optimal level of foreign exchange reserves is crucial for maintaining macroeconomic stability and achieving steady economic growth. Additionally, it can serve as a development tool by financing import payments and supporting essential development spending, making it a symbol of the country\u27s economic sustainability. This study utilizes monthly data from January 2008 to July 2022, sourced from the Bangladesh Bank, the central bank of Bangladesh, to examine the determinants of Bangladesh\u27s foreign exchange reserves. A standard time series approach was used, which involved testing for stationarity and selecting the appropriate lag length before applying the Johansen cointegration test to identify the presence and rank of cointegrating relationships. This study identified multiple cointegrating equations and, therefore, employed the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) to investigate the long-term relationships among the variables. The results indicated that exports, remittances, and foreign direct investment have a positive influence on foreign exchange reserves, while imports and the exchange rate have a negative impact. Short-term dynamics and the error correction term (ECT) were also analyzed to demonstrate adjustment processes. Following the econometric analysis, diagnostic tests, including autocorrelation, normality, and stability tests, were performed. The results showed that autocorrelation and stability tests were satisfactory; however, only imports followed a normal distribution, as confirmed by the normality test. Based on these findings, this study recommends several policy measures to help Bangladesh maintain an optimal level of foreign exchange reserves. Since exports, remittances, and foreign direct investment positively affect Bangladesh’s foreign exchange reserves, efforts should focus on expanding these sectors through export diversification, improved support for remitters, and providing additional facilities or incentives to attract foreign direct investment.
