Spatial and temporal variability of rainfall over the south-west coast of Bangladesh
No full textThis study examined the spatial and temporal rainfall variability from the 1940s to 2007 in the south west coastal region of Bangladesh. Time series statistical tests were applied to examine the spatial and temporal trends in three time segments (1948–1970, 1971–1990 and 1991–2007) and four seasons (Pre-monsoon; Monsoon; Post-Monsoon and Winter), during the period 1948–2007. Eight weather stations were divided into two zones: exposed (exposed to sea) and interior (distant to sea). Overall, rainfall increased during the period 1948–2007, while the trends intensified during post-1990s. Post-monsoon and winter rainfall was observed to follow significant positive trends at most weather stations during the time period 1948–2007. The rate of change was found in exposed zone and interior zone are +12.51 and +4.86 mm/year, respectively, over post monsoon and +0.9 and +1.86 mm/year, respectively, over winter. These trends intensified both in the exposed zone (+45.81 mm/year) and the interior zone (+27.09 mm/year) 1990 onwards. Winter rainfall does not exhibit significant change (p > 0.1) over the exterior or interior zone, though individual stations like Jessore, Satkhira and Bhola show significant negative trends after 1990s. Although the trends were observed to weaken in the monsoon and pre-monsoon seasons, they are not significant. Moreover, an 11-year cyclicity was found within these two seasons, whilst no cyclicity was observed in the post-monsoon and winter seasons. Sequential Mann Kendal test reveals that the changes in two zones rainfall trends are started around mid-80s, where step change found only for fours season in Khulna stations and also for winter seasons in all weather stations. These changes may have a detrimental effect on rain-fed agriculture in Bangladesh. The application of palaeo-environmental techniques, threshold determination and rainfall analysis across the whole country could be useful to support adaptation planning of the rain-fed agro-economy in Bangladesh
'IDGAH' : Premchand; Translated by Dr. Md Siddique Hossain
No full text"IDGAH" A Short Story in Hindi Written By Premchand and Translated By Dr. Md Siddique Hossain-------------------------------------------------------Eid, the thirty-day celebration after Ramadan, is filled with excitement and anticipation in a rural village. Hamid, a four-year-old boy, finds solace in his grandmother Ameena, who informs him that his father will return with silver and his mother will receive divine blessings. The text explores the complexities of life in a rural area, including the presence of Jinns and the importance of understanding human behavior. The story also highlights the importance of communication and the potential for overflow in the water carrier's posture. Hamid's grandmother presents him with a set of tongs, symbolizing the Champion of India. The tongs become the champion of India, and their mother's satisfaction surpasses any other. Later, a conflict arises when a sibling accidentally releases the water container, causing emotional distress for both parties.Chaudhri Sahib, a wealthy man, controls Jinns and has a large fortune. Hamid, a knowledgeable individual, struggles to finance expensive toys for the Eidgah celebrations. The town's hamlet becomes a hub for activities and toys, but Hamid's financial constraints hinder his participation. He purchases tongs to symbolize his invincibility and lethality, but they remain unattainable due to solar radiation and lack of resources. Despite disagreements, Hamid's tongs remain the champion of India. The town's excitement is disrupted by events like the death of a lawyer and the injury of an elderly woman.THIS DATASET IS ARCHIVED AT DANS/EASY, BUT NOT ACCESSIBLE HERE.

Renewable energy: Addressing environmental issues in Bangladesh
No full textUndesirable synergies are being witnessed in Bangladesh between disrupted environmental norms, an increasing demand for energy and widening poverty. The country has experienced natural mishaps throughout its history, but not as frequently as they are happening currently. The trend of untimely appearance of floods, droughts and cyclones is now common and it affects harvests and normal living. Other environmental problems such as desertification, rapid loss of biodiversity, silting of rivers, rising temperature, salinisation, arsenical contamination of potable water and destabilisation of mangrove forests, all are emerging phenomena requiring mitigation measures. All these phenomena affect harvest and economic safety, they beget poverty which in turn predisposes the poor to have more children for security. This in tum puts pressures on the country's resource base in terms of exploitation beyond its natural regeneration capacity. In addition, traditional and modem systems of using primary energy source have also contributed to environmental degradation and climate change (Hossain, 200 1 :210).
The rising need for energy sources, coupled with population growth and economic development, continues to push the unsustainable exploitation of the country's limited natural resources. There is a need for a different approach to combat this trend and the paper argues for the endorsement of renewable energy as an optimal solution. In addition to the environmental benefits, these types of technologies offer the benefits of being relatively small-scale with the potential to be home based which fits well within the village culture of the country (Hossain and Marinova, 2003)
Ready-made garments sector of Bangladesh and Covid-19 impact : Stitching for a better future
No full textDiscussion of growth-drivers in the context of Bangladesh is a deprived part of the Ready-Made Garments (RMG) sector of the country. Approximately 84% of overall exports in Bangladesh is constituted by the RMG sector and about 3.5 million people are employed in this sector.
Globally, Bangladesh has been one of the major players of the RMG market for many years. It has already been suffering from some issues and on top of that COVID-19 pandemic came as a shock for this sector. The sector now looks beyond recovery and towards competitiveness for a sustainable foundation.
This study had the privileges to deal with the shortcomings and opportunities of the RMG sector of Bangladesh and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on this sector. It is mainly a qualitative study and was conducted by analysing various resources and data that are already published.
The whole discussion concluded with some necessary recommendations for a better prospect of this sector. The result suggests some necessary measures to be taken by the government and the stake-holders of the industry for stitching a better future

A skin lesion hair mask dataset with fine-grained annotations
No full textThe largest publicly available skin lesion hair segmentation mask dataset created by carefully annotating 500 copyright-free CC0 licensed dermoscopic images collected from ISIC 2018 dataset [1]. The dataset is organized into three folders namely dermoscopic_image, hair_mask, and overlay. The dermoscopic_image folder contains 500 handpicked dermoscopic images covering different hair patterns. We retained the original names of the image files from the primary image source. The hair_mask folder contains a binary segmentation mask for each of the images of the dermoscopic_image folder. In a segmentation mask image, white pixels represent skin hair and black pixels represent background. The overlay folder contains hair mask images superimposed on the original dermoscopic images. We provided the superimposed images for easy public verification so that, other people can report any annotation mistakes and contribute to improving the dataset. Images in the hair_mask and overlay folders share the same names as the primary images in the dermoscopic_image folder. additional_materials folder contains codes and additional materials used for preparing the dataset.additional_materials folder contents:- Inside the unet folder the U-net [2] model is defined in model.pyfile, unet training is performed using the unet_training.ipynb python notebook file. The task of predicting initial masks for the dermoscopic images is done using the predict_mask.ipynbfile.- The codes used for binarizing mask, making it transparent and creating image collage are available in the check_annotation.ipynbfile.- Video demonstration of the hair mask editing process is available in the mask_editing_process.mp4 file.References[1] Codella N, Rotemberg V, Tschandl P, Celebi ME, Dusza S, Gutman D, et al.
