Social Status Changes of Women Garments Worker: A Study on Bangladesh Perspective

Garments industry is the prime economic sector in Bangladesh. Most of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) carried on Garments Industry. In this industry most of the worker is women. So, women garment worker are main human resources in Bangladesh. But one problem is that, they have no standard social status in our society on the other hand they have owned social status after joining the garments industry. Basically, before joining the garments industry women have lower social status or have no status in her family, relatives, and her father in laws house. Women deprived from control over resources, have no decision-making power, no invitation in social functions, poor health service etc. But this scenario changes after joining the garments industry. In that perspective researcher applied quantitative research methods to find out how to change social status of women garments worker. In the quantitative method researcher followed simple random sample survey into the garments industry where women are working. Researcher found some recommendations from the women garment’s worker. At first, they have an occupational identity which is helpful to consume social status in her family as well as in her relatives. So, it is a great change for women with help of garments industry. The change social status process is not easy because various problems hamper this changes system. Sometimes women garment worker harassed by her family members as well as her colleagues, staffs of garments, owner of the garments etc. In this situation a woman is helpless in her life and they need to support from her family members, friends, colleagues, staffs and owner. In this context, researcher finds out the women to manage this situation it is a great change in social status of women garments worker in Bangladesh. Women garments worker think that if they have regular work in garments factory as well as they get social, economic, and legal support from stakeholder (Garments Industry, Government, Media etc.) their social status changes well radically.

An Ontology-Based Identity and Access Management Metamodel for Secure Adaptive Enterprise Architecture

University of Technology Sydney. Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology.Security, driven by the need of securing digital assets, is an indispensable component of a modern digital enterprise. An identity and access management (IAM) system is a vital element of secure digital enterprise architecture (EA). IAM is a combination of identity management (IDM) and an access management system (ACM) where IDM ensures secure access to enterprise resources by verifying an entity's identity. On the other hand, ACM grants appropriate access to protected resources. Developing an adaptive IAM system that fulfils business requirements and can grow over time with the continually evolving business environment is challenging. This demands an ontology-based IAM metamodel, which is adaptive and can be instantiated for different situations. Ontologies are useful to unambiguously conceptualise various constructs of a domain and the interrelations among them. On the other hand, a metamodel defines the semantics of a modelling language. It offers a set of elements that can be utilised to create a model. An IAM metamodel that is founded on an IAM ontology can be semantically expressed, communicated, and managed. This IAM metamodel can be used to create a domain-specific IAM model. This research addresses this need and develops an ontology-based integrated IAM metamodel for secure digital EA using the well-known design science research (DSR) method. The integrated IAM metamodel has four main components: IAM ontology, IDM metamodel, ACM metamodel, and the integrated IAM metamodel. The IAM ontology provides detailed, unambiguous meaning to the necessary IAM-related entities and their relationships. The IDM metamodel offers the set of elements, based on ontology, required to model an IDM system for a particular context. Similarly, the ACM metamodel provides the necessary elements to create domain-specific models for ACM systems. Finally, the integrated IAM metamodel is developed by combining the IDM and ACM metamodels, allowing an enterprise to model their IDM system and ACM system in an integrated manner. The proposed IAM metamodel is evaluated using the demonstration method from DSR. An IAM pattern system has been instantiated using the metamodel for evaluation purposes, consisting of eight patterns. Each pattern focuses on a specific IAM-related problem. Furthermore, a case study has been performed to evaluate the applicability of the developed metamodel. The result of this research indicates that the proposed ontology, metamodel and patterns can be used by academic and architects to design and implement situation-specific IDM and ACM architectures and solutions within the overall context of a secure digital enterprise architecture

Classifying tablet PC models based on user preferences from online reviews.

Online review sites are a good source of information for the manufacturers to understand the product market. Those sites allow users of the product to express their opinions about products which provide valuable information to other people. As these reviews are easily available and contain important information about the product and users, product designers can utilize those reviews for their new product design analysis. To be competitive the designer should consider the users preferences at the time of product designing and should offer product differentiation while offering a new product. Tablet PC is currently considered as a new class of product which needs to be well classified for the users. The history of portable computer tells that at first when portable computer arrived in the market it was also not well classified for different users. At first, almost all manufacturers had one line of portable computer in market which resembles the current time of tablet product. Motivated by the available online reviews by tablet users and the need of the tablet designers, we propose a method to extract interesting patterns from online reviews of tablet users. These extracted patterns can help the designers to understand the new product market of tablet PC to classify its model for different categories of users. We applied association rule mining technique on the online reviews to reveal interesting patterns between users and their preferred tablet features. For identifying this pattern we considered three categories of users: personal, business and student users. To examine the approach, the online reviews posted between April, 2010 and May, 2011 were collected. Then the resultant association rules between the users and tablet features are compared with the existing tablets in the market which supports this study

Castor Bean (Ricinus communis L.) - A Biofuel Plant: Morphological and Physiological Parameters Propagated from Seeds in Bangladesh

Pot experiments were carried out in Dhaka, Bangladesh from March to September 2012 to evaluate the morphological and physiological parameters of Castor oil Plant (Ricinus communis L.), a second generation energy crop propagated from seeds. The leaves and petioles of castor plants were collected from the earthen pot to determine the leaf and petiole nutrient contents. So this study provides a reliable account of the endogenic concentrations of nutrients present in petiole and their content in leaves including the morphological parameters such as plant height, stem diameter, leaf growth, fresh  and dry weight of leaves, petiole and root length of the plant  at 2 vegetative growth stages grown in Silty clay loam soil  were attempted. The experiment revealed that the morphological parameters responded better in mature plant compared to young plant but the physiological parameter showed variations at 2 growth stages. &nbsp

Clinical status of COVID-19 vaccinated pregnant women: an observational study in a tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh

Background: Pregnancy is a special but often stressful time. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated this stress. Clinical trials have demonstrated the safety of COVID-19 vaccines for pregnant and lactating women, leading to WHO approval. Consequently, the Bangladesh Government has initiated a vaccination campaign for all expectant mothers to protect them from COVID-19. This study aimed to assess the clinical status of COVID-19-vaccinated pregnant women. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology in Combined Military Hospital, Dhaka Cantonment, Bangladesh, spanning August to November 2021. The study included 50 pregnant women who had received COVID-19 vaccinations, selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis and dissemination were performed using MS Office tools. Results: The study found that the average age was 19.2±10.8 years, with 66% falling into the 25-35 age group. About 50% had a normal BMI, while 22% were overweight (BMI: 25.0-29.9 Kg/m2). Hypertension and diabetes were present in 16% and 12% of cases, respectively. Among the 50 pregnant women, 40% were nulliparous, and 60% were multiparous; in most of the cases (54%), multigravidity (1-5) was found. Vaccination distribution was 28% in the 1st trimester, 54% in the 2nd, and 18% in the 3rd trimester. Conclusions: COVID-19 vaccination rates are notably higher among pregnant women aged 25-35. The frequency of normal BMI among COVID-19-vaccinated pregnant women is satisfactory. Most pregnant women opt for COVID-19 vaccination during their second trimester
