Overcoming challenges in data collection: Gender in fish feed value chains in Bangladesh
No full textMohammad Mamun-Ur-Rashid is a member of a research team that has tried to come up with a methodology to get information from women in Bangladesh. It’s not easy for women to speak up about unequal conditions or sexual harassment. It’s important to create an environment in which they are comfortable to talk. For example, it’s not easy to get the information from the big fish-millers, which are men. You need to engage with the right people to get the information. By creating more equal relations in the value chains, everyone will benefit. Interview with Mohammad Mamun-Ur-Rashid (WorldFish) for the book "A different kettle of fish?

LML-Learning Meta-Learning Dataset_update version
No full textThe LML dataset presented in this paper contains both categorical and continuous data for 7 meta-learning parameters: age, gender, degree of illusion of competence, sleep duration, chronotype, experience of imposter phenomenon and multiple intelligence. Convenience sampling and simple random sampling method are used to structure the volunteered anonymous online survey data collection project for LML dataset creation. Survey questionnaires are set to explore adult learners' (age over 18) meta-learning parameters. The responses from the 54 survey questionnaires contains raw data from 1021 current university students from 11 universities of Bangladesh.
Mean and standard deviation for the participant's baseline attributes are given for scale parameters, and frequency and percentage are calculated for categorical parameters. Academic curriculum, courses as well as professional training materials can be reviewed and re-designed with focusing on the diversity of learners. How the designed courses will be learned by learners along with how they will be taught is a significant point for education in any discipline. As the survey questionnaires are set for adult learners and only current university students have participated in this survey, this dataset is appropriate for study andragogy and heutagogy but pedagogy.

Systematics of the genus Gmelina L. (Lamiaceae) in Southeast Asia
No full textTHESIS 9225The systematics of Gmelina is investigated using morphological, anatomical, palynological and molecular
data.The genus is revised for Southeast Asia and 31 taxa are recognised consisting of 26 species, 1 subspecies,
and 4 varieties; with a very few exceptions (5 species) all are endemic to this territory. Based on calyx
characters a revised new infrageneric classification is proposed. The genus is divided in two sections: section
Asiaticum M. H. Rashid & J. Parnell and section Annameticum M. H. Rashid & J. Parnell

Ecological impact of antibiotic treatment on human normal microflora
No full textThe skin and the mucosal surfaces of humans are colonized with microorganisms which are often referred as the normal microflora. There is a biological balance between the human host and the normal microflora in health. The extensive use of antibiotics in both humans and animals has caused the development of many resistant bacteria. Administration of antibacterial agents can cause disturbances in the ecological balance between the host and microorganisms.Ceftobiprole is a new broad-spectrum cephalosporin active against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Twelve healthy volunteers received ceftobiprole. Plasma and fecal samples were collected according to the study design for analysis. Plasma concentrations of ceftobiprole were 14.7-24.5 mg/l. No measurable concentrations of ceftobiprole were found in feces. There were minor to moderate changes in the numbers of enteric bacteria, enterococci, Candida albicans, bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, clostridia and Bacteroides spp. No Clostridium difficile strains and no new colonizing bacteria were found.Ciprofloxacin is a well-known fluoroquinolone active against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Thirty-six healthy female volunteers according to the study design received either the extended release formulation of ciprofloxacin or the immediate release formulation. Mean fecal concentrations were 453 mg/kg and 392 mg/kg, respectively. The numbers of Escherichia coli were significantly suppressed while the enterococci decreased moderately in both treatment groups. No toxigenic C. difficile strains were found.Telavancin is a new glycopeptide for the treatment of Gram-positive infections. Thirteen healthy volunteers received telavancin. Fecal and urine samples were collected according to the study design. There were no measurable concentrations of telavancin in feces. No significant effects on the number of Enterobacteriaceae, enterococci, C. albicans, bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, clostridia and Bacteroides spp. were observed in the study. No C. difficile strains and no new colonizing Gram positive bacteria were found.Thirty-four healthy volunteers were included and received either doxycycline or placebo for 16 weeks. Plasma, saliva and fecal samples were collected according to the study design. The plasma concentrations of doxycycline in the doxycycline group were 0.20-1.49 mg/l. The fecal concentrations of doxycycline in the doxycycline group were 0-4.10 mg/kg. Minor effects on the oropharyngeal microflora were observed in both groups. There were minor changes in the number of enterococci and E. coli in both groups. No C. difficile strains were isolated.This thesis shows that intravenous administration of antibiotics (ceftobiprole and telavancin) had less impact on the intestinal microflora. Both antibiotics caused minor disturbance on the normal microflora indicting a low risk to develop C. difficile infection. Ciprofloxacin had impact on the microflora regardless of the formulation of the drug. Doxycycline sub-antimicrobial dose had minor effect on the normal microflora and development of resistance.List of scientific papersI.

Diagonal tension resistance of structural lightweight aggregate concrete beams
No full textThe purpose of this investigation was to determine the diagonal tension resistance of lightweight reinforced concrete beams without web reinforcement. The study was based on thirteen simple span rectangular beams. The principal variables were shear span to depth ratio a/d and percentage of tensile reinforcement p. The cross sections of all test beams were constant. The beams were tested under a two point static loading system. The external load was applied through a secondary steel beam. Al the beams failed in shear with the formation of diagonal tension cracks in the zone of combined shear and bending moment. Two types of shear failures, shear compression failure and diagonal tension failure, were observed in this investigation. Five beams with shear span to depth ratio a/d less than or equal to three failed in shear compression while the other eight beams with a/d ratio greater than three failed in diagonal tension. The ultimate loads sustained by the beams of lower a/d ratios were much higher than the initial diagonal tension cracking load. On the other hand, the ultimate load capacity of beams with larger a/d ratios was equal to the initial diagonal tension cracking load. In the latter case, the formation of the initial diagonal tension crack and collapse of the beam were simultaneous. ..
