In Bangladesh, a number of screening tests for asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy are in practice. The objective of this study was to assess the validity and cost-effectiveness of these screening tests. A total of 600 apparently healthy pregnant mothers were included in this study. The validity of the screening tests was calculated against the u

Different types of the lattice spin systems with the competing interactions have rich and interesting phase diagrams. In this study a system with competing nearest-neighbor interaction J1, prolonged next-nearest-neighbor interaction Jp and ternary prolonged interaction Jtp is considered on a Cayley tree of arbitrary order k. To perform this study,

The aims of the research is to reveal the characteristics of the Education Participation Index (EPI) in Indonesia based on the level of students’ age (7-12, 13-15, 16-18, and 19-24) which shows the participation index of the citizens at Elementary School, Junior High School, Senior High School and University. The data was taken from Central Burea

Different types of lattice spin systems with competing interactions have rich and interesting phase diagrams. In this study we present some new results for such systems involving the Ising spin system (i.e. � = �1) using a generalization of the Cayley tree-like lattice approximation. We study the phase diagrams for the Ising model on a Cayley t

For quite sometimes, there has been an impassioned debate as to whether human rights as encapsulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is purely a ‘Western’ conception or is a universal conception and, this, applicable to all continents, regions and religions. This paper joins such debate and hypotheses that ‘human rights’ is a u

Sustainable development is a sine qua non for conservation of the environment and protection of lives of all living creatures on the earth, including the human mass. This was realizes after a considerable loss and sufferance. Allah (s.w.t.) created all components of the environment in a definite proportion with particular tasks assigned to them, an

Continuous viable research to develop LMOs/ GMOs by biotechnologists around the world is a sine qua non. It will cater the need of the time in manifest ways, especially by providing subsistence to ever growing populations in developing and least developed countries because they will experience rise of their populations until 2050 which will escalat

All kinds of Peatlands have innumerable environmental and social functions. They are considered as an ideal habitat for plant and animal species. Conservation of peatlands means conservation of that class of biodiversity. This role gets significant in peatforests. Peatlands regulate water cycle as they have about 90 per cent water in them which reg

In Islam, a Muslim male is allowed to have up to four wives provided all wives are treaty equally and do not suffer from any kind of discrimination. The divine injunction of equal treatment is actually for protecting rights of the wives. It is for this reason that many Muslim countries have enacted laws for providing protection to wives. One of the

The United Nations Convention on Wetlands, the Waterfowl Habitat, 1971, popularly known as the Ramsar Convention, the Convention on Biological Diversity, 1992 (CBD), the Convention on Migratory Birds, the Convention on International Trade on Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, 1960 (CITES), and International Tropical Timber Agreement (1994)
