バングラディシュの更新世台地の地形と地質

With regards to the origin and evolution of the Pleistocene tracts (Lalmai, Madhupur and Barind tracts) of Bangladesh, two trends of thoughts are common. Most of the authors believed that the Madhupur, Barind and Lalmai tracts represent tectonically uplifted surface. Some researchers have different opinion and they believed that the Lalmai hills and the Madhupur locality represent tectonically uplifted blocks but the whole Barind tract and the major portion of the Madhuput tracts are not tectonically uplifted, rather these are originated by erossional-depositional processes. In order to solve the problems associated with origin and evolution of Pleistocene tracts of Bangladesh, further study is needed. Borehole data may be collected and fusion images can be prepared from aerial photographs and setellite images to detect netectonic imprins and geomorphological signatures of the areas. Elaborate laboratory analysis of sediment deposits, radiocarbon dating my indicate a new dimension about the origin and evolution of these tracts

A Review on the Quaternary Characteristics of Pleistocene Tracts of Bangladesh

With regards to the origin and evolution of the Pleistocene tracts (Lalmai, Madhupur and Barind tracts) of Bangladesh, two trends of thoughts are common. Most of the authors believed that the Madhupur, Barind and Lalmai tracts represent tectonically uplifted surface. Some researchers have different opinion and they believed that the Lalmai hills and the Maclhupur locality represent tectonically uplifted blocks but the whole Barind tract and the major pOl1ion of the Madhuput tracts are not tectonically uplifted, rather these are originated by erossional-depositional processes. In order to solve the problems associated with origin and evolution of Pleistocene tracts of Bangladesh, fU11her study is needed. Borehole data may be collected and fusion images can be prepared from aerial photographs and satell ite images to detect neotectonic imprints and geomorphological signatures of the areas. Elaborate laboratory analysis of sediment deposits, radiocarbon dating may indicate a new dimension about the origin and evolution of these tracts

Fatty acid profile emphasizing trans-fatty acids in commercially available soybean and palm oils and its probable intake in Bangladesh

The study aimed to determine the trans-fat content in branded and unbranded soybean oil (SBO) and palm oil (PO) in nationally representative samples of Bangladesh. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive study reporting the Trans fatty acid (TFA) content in commonly consumed SBO and PO in Bangladesh. 106 composites (SBO 67, PO 39) were analyzed by GC–MS using Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC) Methodology 996.06. According to the study, TFA (>2 %) was detected in 66.7 % of branded and 24.5 % of unbranded SBO samples, but in none of the palm oil samples. The average TFA contents in branded and unbranded SBO were 2.79 % (ranging from 0.42 % to 4.84 %) and 1.70 % (ranging from 0 %-4.25 %) respectively. Total TFA ranged from 0 %-1.61 % with a mean of 0.9 % and 0.61 % for branded and unbranded PO samples, respectively. From a daily intake of 27 g oil, Bangladeshi population has a probable TFA consumption of 0.75 g/day and 0.46 g/day from branded SBO and PO, respectively. This study generated evidence about the presence of an elevated level of TFA in edible oil, which should be strictly monitored

Medical students’ career preferences in Bangladesh

Abstract Aim This study aimed to investigate the career preferences among Bangladeshi medical students, identify the factors that influence their present choices, and additionally report the role of gender and academic year behind their decisions. Methods This cross-sectional study conducted in Bangladesh from August 2022 to April 2023 included 801 medical students conveniently selected from medical colleges in eight divisions. Data were collected using a web-based survey and analysed using STATA version 16.0. Statistical tests included the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, frequency, and Kruskal-Wallis H test. The response rate was 94.6%, and the CHERRIES guideline was followed for reporting the results. Result The majority of the participants were female (64.42%) and under the age of 23 years (58.8%). The study revealed that medicine was the preferred career choice for the majority of students (65%), with surgery being the most popular first choice (30.21%) among them. Female medical students showed a significantly higher preference for gynaecology & obstetrics (p < 0.001), while male students had a significantly higher tendency to choose general practice (p = 0.002). There is a significant gender difference (p < 0.05) in the career preference factors, including professional prestige, role model influence, easy money, family time, promotion opportunities, income for lifestyle, and research opportunities. Academic year differences were also observed, with increasing interest in medicine and public health (p < 0.001), a decrease in interest in surgery (p < 0.001), and a decline in preference for non-medical careers as students progressed through their MBBS life (p < 0.05). Conclusion Overall, medicine was the most popular speciality choice, however, male students preferred general practice and female students preferred gynaecology and obstetrics more. Personal passion, opportunities for contribution to society, professional prestige, having a direct dealing with patients, and income will allow an enjoyable lifestyle were the most important factors in the choice of their career
