Democratic Welfare State as Visualised by the Quaid-i-Azam
Get PDFThe Quaid-i-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, is known more for his political achievements than for his socio-economic thought. Last two decades, however, have seen a continuous flow of books containing his speeches, statements, messages, interviews, discussions in pre-independence legislative bodies and addresses in the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan. Even a cursory look at this vast literature shows that he was not only concerned with the political aspect of sub-continent’s independence movement but also consistently expressed his views regarding the socio-economic uplift of masses in general and Muslim society in particular. These views in their bare essentials reflect a remarkable continuity of approach from the earlier days of his political career to the period he occupied the position of Governor General of Pakistan. Actually, he became more and more expressive and forthright as the prospects of Pakistan coming into existence became bright. When Pakistan finally appeared as a sovereign nation on the map of the world, he openly rejected the prevailing economic system as having failed to do justice between man and man and to eradicate friction from the international field.

A Short Introduction to a 19th Century Persian Book on Pulsology: Naiier Azam
No full textIslamic Golden Age, 9-12 century AD, was the period through which Persian scientists and physicians were most influential in improving medical sciences including cardiovascular knowledge. Although post-Islamic Golden Age witnessed a number of great Persian scholars moving cardiovascular concepts forward, they failed to become as well known as their predecessors. One of these scholars was Hakim Mohammad Azam Khan belonging to the 19th century. He authored many books on medical sciences. He wrote all the books in Persian. Some of his most famous works are Eksir Azam (The Greatest Elixir; a comprehensive medical encyclopedia); Romouz Azam (The Greatest Secrets; a general book on medicine) and Qarabadin Azam (Pharmacopeia). In addition, he had a valuable treatise on pulsology, named Naiier Azam. Naiier Azam, one of the important works on cardiology in Persian medicine, which includes three parts: one introduction and two teaching chapters (Taelim)

Geospatial Datasets for Assessing Vulnerability of Bangladesh to Climate Change and Extremes
No full textThe present dataset provides necessary indicators of climate change vulnerability of Bangladesh in raster form. Geospatial databases have been created in Geographic Information System (GIS) environment mainly from two types of raw data; socioeconomic data from Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS) and biophysical maps from various government and non-government agencies. Socioeconomic data have been transformed to raster database through the Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) interpolation method in GIS. On the other hand, biophysical maps have been directly recreated as GIS shapefiles and eventually the biophysical raster database have been produced. These geospatial datasets have been analyzed to assess the spatial vulnerability of Bangladesh to climate change and extremes.
30 socioeconomic indicators have been considered, which has been obtained from the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS, 2012; BBS, 2013; BBS, 2016). All socioeconomic data were incorporated in GIS database in order to generate maps. 12 biophysical system indicators have also been classified based on the collected information from different sources and literature. The coefficient of temperature and precipitation variability have been extracted from the work of Institute of Water and Flood Management (IWFM, 2014) and mapped according to the climatic sub-regions produced by Rashid (1991). A five-class drought class map of the whole country has been recreated from Comprehensive Disaster Management Program (CDMP, 2006). The cyclone risk map used in this study, a four-class relative risk map, has been adopted from Center for Environment and Geographic Information Services (CEGIS, 2006). The Sea Level Rise (SLR) risk map have been produced from the elevation map collected from United States Geological Survey (USGS). Different types of flood risk maps have been reproduced from the maps of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council (BARC, 2001) and Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB, 2010). Erosion prone areas with relative risks (BWDB, 2010) and salinity intrusion map of 1 to 5 ppt salinity line (SRDI, 2010) also have been recreated in this study. Finally, a general hazard class map covering all over the country, with a 1 to 5 relative hazard proneness, has been adopted from Bangladesh Center for Advanced Studies (BCAS, 2008)

Stochastic system identification via particle and sigma-point Kalman filtering
No full textIn this paper, joint identification for structural systems, characterized by severe nonlinearities
(softening) in the constitutive model, is pursued via the Sigma-Point Kalman Filter (S-PKF) and the Particle
Filter (PF). Since a formal proof of the effects of softening in a stochastic structural system on the accuracy
and stability of the filters is still missing, we comparatively assess the performances of S-PKF and PF. We
show that the PF displays a higher convergence rate towards steady-state model calibrations and the S-PKF
is less sensitive to the measurement noise. Both S-PKF and PF are robust, even if they tend to get unstable
when a structural failure is triggered
Cracking of Some Polytropic Models Via Local Density Perturbations
Get PDFIn this paper, we have checked the stability of some anisotropic charged generalized polytropic models by using the concept of cracking, founded by Nasim and Azam [29]. The process of cracking is intuitive and results at the points where the dispensation of radial forces appears in the system on account of perturbation and carried the system out of its equilibrium state. We have employed the local density perturbation technique to hydrostatic equilibrium equation and on all the physical parameters engaged in the models. We concluded that under the local density perturbation scheme all the generalized polytropic models are potentially stable.The presentation of the authors' names and (or) special characters in the title of the pdf file of the accepted manuscript may differ slightly from what is displayed on the item page.
