of New Approaches presents information on the fundamental challenge
that the energy sector faces with regard to meeting the ever
growing demand for sustainable, efficient, and cleaner energy. The
book compares recent developments in the field of energy
technology, clean and low emission energy, and energy efficiency
and environmental sustainability for industry and academia. Rasul,
Azad and Sharma, along with their team of expert contributors,
provide high-end research findings on relevant industry themes,
including clean and sustainable energy sources and technologies,
renewable energy technologies and their applications, biomass and
biofuels for sustainable environment, energy system and efficiency
improvement, solar thermal applications, and the environmental
impacts of sustainable energy systems. This book uses global
institutes and case studies to explore and analyze technological
advancements alongside practical applications. This approach helps
readers to develop and affirm a better understanding of the
relevant concepts and solutions necessary to achieve clean energy
and sustainable development in both medium and large-scale
industries.
Prolonged stress has long been shown to have major effects on the
development of both type of diabetes mellitus, Type 1 and Type 2.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that is characterized by
the immune system attacking self-antigens. There is a failure or
breakdown in immunological tolerance to allow this to happen.
Prolonged physical or emotional stress can activate the
hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis to induce production of
the stress hormone glucocorticoid, causing abrupt thymus involution
and result in escape of autoreactive T- cells. Though regulatory
T-cells (Treg) are present in the circulation, they are unable to
suppress the autoreative T-cells from initiating the destruction of
-cells and the subsequent development of Type 1 diabetes. Stress
also causes metabolic disturbances, including altered hepatic
glucose metabolism, increased peripheral insulin resistance and
hyperglycemia. Glucocorticoid is the potential contributor to the
chronic hyperglycemia that results in insulin resistance and -cell
dysfunction via the generation of oxidative stress which ultimately
leads to the development of Type 2 diabetes."
This book deals with Turbulence and MHD Turbulence. The
presentation of this book is straightforward and comprehensible by
the learner also. Researchers who thoroughly study this book will
be well prepared to make significant contributions to analyze
Turbulence and MHD Turbulence. This book will assist the
physicists, chemists, applied mathematicians, engineers, and
environmentalist, who undertaking research on Turbulence. The book
included a widespread bibliography.This book mainly expresses the
decay of turbulence and MHD turbulence before the final period.
In the context of global food security, ensuring sustainable
agricultural production is a major concern. It's a vital issue in
those countries like Bangladesh, where agriculture acts as a
prevailing sector for national economy. Around 80% of the total
population living in the rural areas of Bangladesh, are engaged in
different agricultural activities for the sake of their livelihood.
But in the current era, this sector is passing through some
uncertainties due to the concurrent climate change. It has been
well recognized that, due to climate change, Khulna district, one
of the largest south west coastal regions of Bangladesh would be
the worst victimized cities over the whole world. Besides
fisheries, agriculture is the primary occupation in this coastal
area. For reduction of fish production, people who were engaged
with fisheries are now changing their livelihood to agriculture. At
the micro scale, local farmers are experiencing the losses due to
the infrequent abnormal changes of climatic parameters specially
the temperature and precipitation. Through this study, an attempt
was taken to explore the local evidence of climatic variability as
well as its impact on crop production.
Throughout the human civilization, no issue has been as catchy as
change. This change occurs, sometimes, rapidly while its motion is
very slow in other times as it were music. Notably, Bedeys, who had
been traditionally keeping their life-styles unchanged and do not
usually welcome any change, are also changing their socio-economic,
socio-political and cultural environment. So, now is the time to
talk about the changes that occurred in Bedey communities in
Bangladesh. After reviewing the literature in this field, it was
found that most of the previous studies showed merely coherent
pictures of the Bedey's life styles. Hence, "Bedey Community of
Kanchonpur: A Sociological Study" is a great endeavour to
scrutinize how and why the Bedeys are getting settled; how they are
reshaping and recognizing their society under a different social
setting; and what major changes they are welcoming, and to explore
why changes are occurring in Bedey communities. Thus, the present
work will help the future researchers conduct the rigorous studies
in this arena, and find out the determinants of changes in Bedey
communities of Bangladesh towards rethinking a sociology of
professional minority groups.
BSCIC industrial area is a combined industrial area. Different
types of industry are present here. This study was conducted to
identify the pollution and its minimization options. The values of
Na+ (157.65 mg/L), K+ (19.8 mg/L), Ca+ (33.3 mg/L), Mg+ (7.64
mg/L), HCO3-(130 mg/L), SO42-(18.5 mg/L), are higher than the
standard that has a negative impact on aquatic species. On the
other hand heavy metal concentration Al3+ (15 mg/L) higher than the
standard value, Cu2+ (0.164 mg/L), Cr6+ (0.0066 mg/L), Mn2+ (BDL)
Zn2+ (BDL) are closed to the standard value. Kiam metal industry
(40%), Perfect Tobacco industry (25%), MRS industry (15%), BRB
cable industry (20%), responsible for water pollution. On the other
hand Northern jute mill (18%), Kiam metal industry (25%), BRB
Polymer industry (21%), MRS industry (25%), and BRB cable industry
(11%), are responsible for Noise pollution. Due to noise pollution
Headache (15%), Heart pain (10%), Sleepless (25%), Hearing problem
(40%), Blood Pressure (7%), Others diseases (3%). To mitigate this
problem everybody should conscious about industrial pollution.
This study, qualitative in nature, set out to identify the most
common factors contributing to absenteeism amongst Bangladeshi
pupils in Westminster, London. Cross-sectional examination of the
perceptually developed hypotheses was mainly carried out in five
primary schools and one secondary school, located in different
geographical areas of the Westminster Local Education Authority.
The sample included 140 pupils (100 primary and 40 secondary), most
of their parents guardians, head teachers, teachers, home-school
liaison workers, community leaders/workers, Westminster Education
Welfare Officers, LEA Officers and Attendance Advisor at DfES.
Semi-structured interview and questionnaire schedules were used as
the main tools for data generation. The findings of the study
suggested that poor health was the most prevalent reason for low
attendance among the focus group, followed by extended holidays
which resulted in considerable numbers of absences - both
authorised and unauthorised. Family poverty did not evidently
appear to be a causal explanatory issue for poor health and low
attendance of the pupils.
