<p>This dataset was created to highlight the usage of AI in educational context. It particularly focuses on questions as our goal was to revive the innate curiosity of students to learn through querying. Computer science (CS) courses have been particularly focused as we found higher dropout rates in CS courses compared to others.</p>
<p>The questions in this dataset have been manually pre-processed and categorized according to their course and topics. They have also been scored using Bloom's taxonomy's six levels of questions [remember (10 points), understand (20 points), apply (20points), analyze (25 points), evaluate (35 points), create (40 points)]. Any question above 100 points is considered a high level question and the maximum attainable score for a single question is 150 points. </p>

Synthesis, Characterization and Antibacterial Activity on Dinuclear Schiff-base Macrocyclic Metal Complexes
No full textSchiff-bases and their dinuclear metal complexes have been extensively received special attention because of their wide range of applications including catalysts, medicine crystal engineering, anti-corrosion agent, and biological activities [1]. Dinuclear macrocyclic lead (II) complex, Pb2L1(SCN)4 was synthesized by template condensation of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxaldehyde and 1,2-bis (2-aminoethoxy) ethane in presence of Pb(SCN)2 as the metal source, here L1 is tetra-Schiff-base macrocycle. Transmetallation treatment of Pb2L1(SCN)4 with Co(PF6)2.6H2O produced the new complex, Co2L1(SCN)4 [2]. Reduction of lead (II) complex gave new reduced tetra-Schiff-base macrocyclic ligand, L2[3]. All the metal complexes and ligand were characterized by UV-Visible, FT-IR, 1H NMR spectroscopy. The antibacterial activities against some pathogenic gram positive and gram negative bacteria were studied by cylinder disk diffusion method. The complexes were found to inhibit the growth of bacteria

AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION AND INFORMATION SYSTEMNon-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are well-known in Bangladesh for their innovative
approaches. Dipshikha, an NGO, working for the resource poor people in order to reduce poverty
specially in the northern part of Bangladesh. It has been working through two approaches namely
(i) Family Development Approach and (ii) Group Based Approach. In the study attempts were
made to determine the extent of effectiveness of family development approach (FDA) and group
based approach (GBA) of Dipshikha towards poverty reduction. The effectiveness were measured
by computing the changes in annual income, expenditure for food and nutrition, expenditure for
health, education and others, land assets, productive assets other than land, non-productive assets,
housing condition, drinking water sources, sanitation conditions, between before and after
involvement with Dipshikha under both the approaches. Some of selected characteristics of the
respondents and their contribution to the effectiveness of family development approach and group
based approach were determined and described as well. Data were collected from early October
to early November, 2006.
The findings of the study indicated that the economical condition of Dipshikha beneficiaries
under both the approaches had improved significantly after involvement with Dipshikha in
relation with annual income, food and non-food expenditures, productive and non-productive
assets. The Head Count (HC) method pointed out that the poverty level reduced significantly after
involvement with Dipshikha under both the approaches. Poverty was reduced by 39% from 93%
in FDA and 31 % from 77% in G BA. Although, the Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT) index showed
that 51 % of the respondents from FDA and 43% from GBA were stiU remain under upper poverty
line in terms of income.

ABSTRACT
Social well beings conditions of the respondents namely housing condition, sanitation condition,
access of safe drinking water, knowledge on hea Ith and social issues and women empowerment
situation were improved significantly as well under both the approaches after involvement with
Dipshikha.
The findings revealed that 27%, 63% and I 0% of the respondents had low, medium and high
socio economic changes respectively after involvement with Dipshikha under FDA while, 27%,
68% and 5% had low, medium and high changes respectively in GBA. The independent sample t
test showed that there was no difference between the effectiveness of FDA and GBA towards
poverty reduction. But the findings showed that FDA has more potentials than GBA towards
poverty reduction in terms of time, credit utilization, credit repayment, savings accumulation,
training exposure, use of safe drinking water and sanitary latrine, awareness on health etc.
Implementation of family development plan. involvement with Dipshikha, savings of the family,
credit availability and acceptance of loan received condition had positive contribution and family
size had negative contribution to the effectiveness of FDA of Dipshikha. Utilization of credit,
annual income and attitude towards Dipshikha had positive contribution to the extent of
effectiveness of G BA of Dipshikha
Moribund SAFTA and trade policy options for South Asia
No full textIn response to meager intra-regional trade flow South Asian countries formed their regional trade bloc SAFTA (South Asian Free Trade Area) in 2004 and made operational from 2006.Defying the rhetoric of the leaders and expectation of the masses, this bloc could not make any progress until now. Using panel data over the past thirty years from the seven member states and a random effect methodology that controls for endogenous predictors, the study shows that when gravity related and other variables are controlled for SAFTA turns out to be dysfunctional. The reasons for such failure can be attributed to the thin preferential margins on only a few number of tariff lines whose benefits are evaporated once complying with the rules of origin issue and complicated administrative procedure are taken into account. Moreover appearances of new generations of traded products (e.g. computing and telecommunications equipment) that are sourced from outside the region and changes of demand structure in favor of these commodities have made South Asian trade more outward oriented. Since the “free” trade bloc is not working in South, the paper concludes that alternative trade policy options like unilateral liberalization and seeking for multiple preferential agreements can buttress trade linked growth of the region
Political Activity and Identification of key players: The sacking of mandatory status for SAC4
No full textSince 1990, the Australian accounting standard setting process has taken on a more visible and, sometimes, vitriolic political character. Emotions ran strongly against the conferring of mandatory status upon Statement of Accounting Concepts (SAC) 4. While the conceptual framework is one of the ongoing initiatives by the IASB (International Accounting Standard Board), the mixed success of the standard setters in the 1990s in Australia suggests powerful interests were been able to limit the regulatory ambitions of the AASB. In 1995, the extensive revisions of SAC 4 left no doubt that the interests of some specific lobbying groups were not favoured by SAC 4.This paper documents the identity of the ‘key’ players who had significant influence on the removal of mandatory status for SAC 4. It also reveals the value of structured interviews as a research tool in gaining a deeper understanding of the political activities surrounding accounting regulation in Australi

‘BARI Masur-9’: An extra-early lentil cultivar for a rice-based cropping system in Bangladesh
No full textLentil (Lens culinaris Medik) is the third-most important grain legume in the world. In Bangladesh, it is important for human food and nutrition, animal feed, and sustainable rice-based cropping systems. However, lentil area is declining due to competition with other winter and spring crops, particularly irrigated spring rice (boro rice; Oryza sativa L.). To increase lentil production, the extra-early (<95 d) lentil line LRIL-22-70 was selected to grow in the short fallow period between monsoon and spring rice under a proposed new cropping pattern. LRIL-22-70 was identified from a recombinant inbred line population through rigorously evaluated in diverse agro-ecological conditions of Bangladesh and released for commercial cultivation by Pulses Research Centre, BARI, as ‘BARI Masur-9’ (Reg. no. CV-36, PI 700307) in 2018. BARI Masur-9 is a transgressive segregant for earliness (matures in <93 d) and fits well in the new monsoon rice–lentil–spring rice cropping pattern. It is a medium-seeded (2.38 g 100–1 seed) cultivar with high tolerance to Stemphylium blight. The average seed yield of BARI Masur-9 was 1,201 kg ha–1, with higher concentrations of Fe (73 mg kg−1) and Zn (61 mg kg−1) compared with other genotypes; thus, BARI Masur-9 contributes to combatting micronutrient malnutrition in Bangladesh. BARI Masur-9, the first extra-early lentil cultivar, can successfully be grown to replace fallow between rice as a new cropping pattern monsoon rice–lentil (BARI Masur-9)–spring rice in about 8 million ha in Bangladesh, eastern Indian states, and eastern Nepal
DIGITAL WALLET (Electronic Financial Transaction System)
No full textMain goal of this project is reduce the transaction of physical cash. Cash transaction open the door of money Laundering. Money laundering is harmful for countries economy. Without banking transactions, no transaction is traceable. Traditional banking only forty hours per week, But people need use their money 24/7. Huge numbers of hard cash transaction are happening every day. If we can make all transactions traceable, 24/7 withdraw or deposit with banks, any time send money to others or anytime can pay all bills our life will be very fast and government can earn more revenue. Especially ecommerce need transfer money digitally. Our Digital Wallet system can make those possible
