    A thesis Submitted to the Faculty ofAgriculture, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, in partial fulfilment of the requirenents for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDINGA field experiment was conducted during December, 2011 to April. 2012 to study the genetic variability, correlation, path coefficient analysis and genetic diversity for quantitative traits in soybean ((ilycine max (L.) Merrill ) with 28 genotypes in randomized complete block design with three replications. The genotypes were placed in a field experiment conducted at the research farm of Shcr-e-Bangla Agricultural University. Dhaka- 1207. Analysis of variance for each trait showed significant differences among the genotypes. Phenotypic coefficients of variation (PCV) was close to genotypie coefficients of variation ((;CV) for all the characters except pod length and seeds per pod indicating that environment had influence on the expression of these characters. High heritability associated with high genetic advance percent of mean was observed for plant height, number of branches per plant, pods per plant, seeds per plant and hundred seed weight which indicated that selection for these characters would be effective. Seed yield per plant had highly significant positive genotypic and phenotypic association with plant height, branches per plant, pods per plant, pod length, seeds per pod, seeds per plant and hundred seed weight revealing that selection based on these traits would ultimately improve the seed yield. Path coefficient analysis revealed that seeds per plant and hundred seed weight had the highest positive direct effect on seed. Hence, thrust has to be given for these characters in future breeding programme to improve the yield in soybean. Multivariate analysis based on II characters indicated that the 28 genotypes were grouped into five distant clusters. The maximum contribution of characters towards diversity was observed by days to first flowering, number of pods per plant and seeds per pod. Thus, these traits may be given high emphasis while selecting the lines for hybridization. The inter cluster distance was maximum between cluster II and cluster IV. The highest intra cluster distance was found in cluster V. From the results it can be concluded that the following genotypes viz., F-85-1 1347 (04). LG-92P-12-18 (08). RI4174-75 (023) and MTD45 I (G28) were identified as potential genotypes for higher seed yield in soybean

    Abstract Title: The impact of national culture on the organizational culture: Multinational companies doing businesses in developing countries Level: Final assignment for Master Degree in Business Administration (MBA) Author: Md. Mahbub Alam Supervisor: Dr. Ehsanul Huda Chowdhury Examiner: Dr. Maria Fregidou-Malama Day: 2017- May Aim: The aim of the study is to understand how national culture of Bangladesh is affecting the organizational culture of the multinational firms operating in Bangladesh. To understand the issue, Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions are regarded as benchmark for analysis. Method: Qualitative study has been conducted whereby both primary and secondary data are used. Hereby, primary data have been gathered from ten employees of Grameen Phone a multinational working in Bangladesh. To collect data, face to face interviews has been conducted using Skype. Results & Conclusions:  Finding of the study is the MNCs integration with national culture with the view to sustainable business operation. It has been demonstrated that national culture affects the organizational culture in the form of employee participation, collective working environment, collaborative work efforts, and knowledge sharing through continuous communication. Suggestions for future research: Further investigations on national culture’s impact on organizational culture can be undertaken by making a comparison between MNC and a purely local firm. Additionally, an analysis on a large number of MNCs operating in host country can add value for further researches. Contribution of the thesis: To the theoretical model, this study makes contribution on the ground of understanding how MNC adapt their business with local culture where cultural sensitiveness is high. Managerial implications: MNCs can ensure collaboration, support, and teamwork among employees as part of their attempt to integrate with local culture. This study reveals that local employees can be used as means of cultural carriers by managers which can promptly address the cultural differences to be mitigated. Keywords: Multi-national Corporations (MNCs), National Culture, Organizational Culture, Uncertainty Avoidance, Individualism vs. Collectivism, Power Distance

    Growth and Poverty in Pakistan: Implications for Governance

    No full text
    According to the Economic Surveys, Pakistan’s real GDP has grown at an average annual rate of 6.8 percent in the 1960s, 4.8 percent in the 1970s, 6.5 percent in the 1980s and 4.7 percent in the 1990s. However, that did not seem to have mitigated poverty as parallel to this growth the number of poor also kept swelling. Although different estimates put number of poor in Pakistan around 50 million, the actual could be more [Ahmad (2001)]. The average growth rates in the first halfcentury of Pakistan have been around 2 percent [Hasan (1997)]. It is pertinent to state that this discussion paper is not an attempt to challenge the figures either of the growth rates or the numbers of the poor in Pakistan. This is rather an attempt to understand the correlation of governance with growth on one hand and poverty on the other. It offers conceptual analysis of the concepts and their respective interpretation, explanation, application and ensuing misunderstandings. This paper has also attempted to challenge certain (usual) assumptions and perceptions regarding the role and relationship of growth and governance in reducing poverty in Pakistan. One has pointed out that most of the studies on the subject focus on symptoms and not the causes of poverty. This leads to on one hand growth of poverty, as poverty does not seem to halt despite certain evidence of relatively high growth particularly in 1960s. On the other hand we witness poverty of growth as whatever growth we have had it has hitherto failed either translating into corresponding mitigation of poverty or equitable collective prosperity. This is because there have not been efforts at governance level to ensure equity of impact of growth through adequate distribution mechanisms, sufficient social and human investments leading to education and skill development of women and men, who in turn could benefit from opportunities arising by way of process of economic growth.

    Investigating the function of the Schwann cells in diabetic wound healing

    Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial disorder that occurs due to lack of insulin & hyperglycemia. My focus is relating two major complications of T2DM; wound healing defects and diabetic neuropathy. Cutaneous nerves extend throughout the dermis and epidermis and control both the functional and reparative capacity of the skin. Nerve axons are reduced in the skin of a diabetic and further decreases in wounds. From previous work, our lab demonstrated, as apposed to the nerve axons, the associated Schwann cells located around wound are important, undergoes extensive reprogramming process and migrates towards the wound bed releasing bioactive molecules, which contribute to wound closure. However, their role is still unknown in diabetic wound healing. To investigate this, we are using two rodent models of diabetes— genetically modified db/db diabetic mice lacking leptin receptor and a reporter strain fed with high-fat diet to induce diabetes. A 6mm punch biopsy wound will be induced in the back skin and healing will be tracked at four time points—Day:5,10,15 & 21(n=5). The immunohistochemical analysis of S100B, P75NTR and neurofilaments will determine the numbers of Schwann cells and axons. As an experimental therapy of diabetic wound healing, we will treat the mice with growth factors known to be released from Schwann cells. This could lead a novel therapeutic intervention in T2DM treatment
