AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICSThe objectives of this study were to identify the socio-economic characteristics of
maize growers; to estimate the cost and return of maize cultivation; to assess the input
use efficiency of maize cultivation and to address the problems faced by the farmers
and suggest some policy recommendations. The study was conducted in six villages
of Alokdia and Karpashdanga union under Chuadanga sadar and Damurhuda upazila
of Chuadanga district. Data were collected by using interview schedule from the
purposively selected 80 respondents during 1
ii
st
June to 30
th
June, 2019. After
analyzing the data, total cost of production was Tk. 124495, Tk. 134335 and Tk.
140579 for marginal, small and medium maize production respectively. Per hectare
gross return was Tk. 213997, Tk. 204972 and Tk. 197163 for marginal, small and
medium maize production, respectively. Per hectare gross margin was Tk. 120478,
Tk. 104748 and Tk. 92516 for marginal, small and medium maize production,
respectively. Net return was calculated by deducting gross cost from gross return and
these were Tk. 89502, Tk. 70637 and Tk. 56584 for marginal, small and medium
maize production, respectively. Benefit cost ratio was 1.72, 1.53 and 1.40 for
marginal, small and medium maize production, respectively. From Cobb-Douglas
production function analysis, it was observed that the coefficients of land preparation
cost, irrigation cost, urea and MoP was significant at different level of probability for
marginal, small and medium maize production, respectively and the coefficients of
human labor, seed and pesticide used was not significant while the coefficients of
TSP was negative and significant for marginal, small and medium maize production,
respectively. Input use efficiency indicated that all of the resources were under used
for maize production except overutilization of human labor and TSP. So there was a
positive effect of key factors in the production process of maize cultivation. This
study also identified some of the problems associated with maize production. The
findings revealed that high price of inputs was the most acute problem followed by
lack of technical knowledge and shortage of human labor at the critical stage and
declining soil fertility was the last obstacle which stand in the way of maize
production in the study area

Văcărescu had also an interest in Portuguese literature.La intención de estas páginas es presentar brevemente la visita a Portugal de la escritora rumana Elena Văcărescu (1864-1947) durante la I Guerra Mundial, que mantuvo una buena amistad con las autoras portuguesa Virgínia Vitorino o Fernanda de Castro y se interesó por la literatura de aquel país
Fundamental studies of anaerobic biosorption in wastewater treatment
No full textThe potential for sorption of soluble organic matter on anaerobic biomass is currently under investigation by the author and coworkers at Iowa State University. Biosorption is defined as the uptake or accumulation of particulates and chemicals by microbial biomass. The anaerobic biosorption process utilizes the sorption capabilities of active biomass for the treatment of wastewater. Biosorption is a rapid process. About 40% removal of organic matter was obtained in only 15 minutes after the substrate was brought in contact with the biomass;This dissertation presents the results of preliminary investigations on the effects of various factors on the biosorption process. The primary objective of this research was to determine the applicability of anaerobic biomass as a potential sorbent for organic matter and to quantify the results in terms of isotherms. The effects of mixing times, temperature, substrate concentration, biomass concentration, and granular biomass particle size were also studied;Anaerobic biomass was grown at 35°C in 10-liter source reactors, operated as anaerobic sequencing batch reactors (ASBR). Biosorption experiments were performed with active biomass in two liter batch reactors on a synthetic milk waste. The particle size distributions of the granular biomass were determined using an Automatic Image Analysis system. Temperature studies were significant. Better removals were obtained at higher temperature than at lower temperature. It was observed that wastes at temperatures as low as 7°C could be treated without the application of external heat;Higher removals were obtained with the small granular biomass than with the large granules. Increasing the biomass concentration resulted in a significant increase in the percentage removal of organic matter. Another method of improving biosorption was to operate a number of sorption reactors in series. High overall COD removals were obtained in a series of three reactors. The results were expressed in terms of adsorption isotherms. The data conformed well to both the Freundlich and the Langmuir adsorption models.</p

Hombres de estado, mujeres de mercado. Los efectos del conservadurismo de izquierdas en política de género durante la transición rumana
No full textEn este artículo la autora intenta demostrar que las políticas dominantes
en la transición de la Rumanía post-comunista orientan a las mujeres hacia el
mercado mientras los hombres se dirigen al Estado. Debido al conservadurismo
de izquierda, la propuesta política más popular, los principales receptores de las
políticas redistributivas fueron los sindicatos de las industrias estatales donde
eran mayoría los trabajadores varones. A las mujeres se les dejó «a merced del
mercado», mientras los hombres eran protegidos como «víctimas favoritas» y
obtuvieron ventaja como «clientes favoritos». En ausencia de una política local
feminista, estas políticas altamente desiguales en cuanto al género son cubiertas
por un «feminismo a la carta», según el Acquis Communautaire. Europa oriental
ha alcanzado un momento post-feminista (de acuerdo con los medios de comunicación).
La autora defiende la combinación entre «lo personal es político»
y «lo político es personal».In this paper, the author aims to show that the dominant policies in the Romanian
post-Communist transition had the effect of leading women towards
the market while men were directed towards the State. With the emergence
of left-wing Conservatism as the most popular political alternative, the main
recipients of redistribution policies were the trade unions of male-dominated
State industries. Women were left «to the mercy of the market», while men
were protected as «favourite victims» and afforded preferential treatment as
«favourite clients». In the absence of a local political feminist movement, these
highly unequal gender policies are disguised by a «room-service feminism» due
to the Acquis Communautaire. According to the media, Eastern Europe has now
entered a post-feminist era. The author argues in favour of a combination between
«personal is political» and «political is personal»
