Previous blinded trials of household water treatment interventions in low-income settings have failed to detect a reduction child diarrhoea. Technological advances enabled the development automated in-line chlorine dosers that can disinfect drinking without electricity, while also allowing users continue their typical collection practices. We aimed evaluate effect installing novel passive chlorination devices at shared points on diarrhoea prevalence low-income, densely populated communities...
Digital adherence technologies (DATs) have emerged as an alternative to directly observed therapy (DOT) for supervisions of tuberculosis (TB) treatment. We conducted a meta-analysis implementation feedback obtained from people with TB and health care workers (HCWs) involved in REACH Wave 6-funded DAT evaluation projects. Projects administered standardized post-implementation surveys based on the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behavior (COM-B) model their workers. The included questions...
The growth rate, milk yield, composition and reproductive efficiency ofJamunapari goats were studied under semi-intensive conditions. Animals allowedto graze for 6-7 hours concentrate (17% CP, 11 MJ/kg DM) at 400g/head/day wasoffered twice daily. No body measurement was different in male female goats. Theudder capacious but pendulous. Testis length, breadth scrotal circumferencewere 17.3 ± 1.5, 11.5 1.7 42.4 2.0 cm, respectively. mean weight birthand 12 months 1.6 21.4 kg, average rates of...
Background In Bangladesh, about 80% of healthcare is provided by the private sector. Although free diagnosis and care offered in public sector, only half estimated number people with tuberculosis are diagnosed, treated, notified to national program. Private sector engagement strategies often have been small scale time limited. We evaluated a Social Enterprise Model combining external funding income generation at three screening centres across Dhaka Metropolitan Area for diagnosing treating...
Sixteen female Black Bengal goats (10 ± 0.6 months of age and 11.5 1.3 kg live weight) were divided into four groups having in each. In a completely randomized design, A, B, C D given 150, 200, 250 300g concentrate mixture with ad libitum green grasses. Total dry matter (DM) intake (333.6, 374.7, 416.3 456.5g/day D, respectively) was significantly (P<0.01) influenced by the level diet. Crude protein (CP) (45.2, 57.0, 66.4 75.7g/day) higher group lower A. Daily weight gain kids did not...
Worldwide, non-adherence to tuberculosis (TB) treatment is problematic. Digital adherence technologies (DATs) offer a person-centered approach support and monitor treatment. We explored over time while using DATs. conducted meta-analysis on anonymized longitudinal data for drug-susceptible (DS) TB (n = 4515) drug-resistant (DR) 473) populations from 11 DAT projects. Using Tobit regression, we assessed six months of across sex, age, project enrolment phase, DAT-type, health care facility...
The present study was undertaken to investigate productive and reproductive performances of crossbreds Indigenous dairy cows. A total 400 cows each are equal number Friesian x indigenous (FI), Sahiwal (SaI), Sindhi (SiI) (I) were selected from eight thanas in Jessore district. found that the daily milk yield FI, SaI, SiI I 8.39 ± 2.01, 4.63 0.96, 4.35 1.12 2.38 0.73 liters, respectively. significantly (P<0.01) higher first stage lactation than second third both period service per...

Abstract Nutritional factors and infectious agents may contribute to paediatric growth deficits in low- middle-income countries; however, the contribution of enteric pathogens is only beginning be understood. We analysed stool from children <5 years old an open cohort, cluster-randomised controlled trial a point-of-collection water chlorinator urban Bangladesh. compared presence/absence 15 detected via multiplex, molecular methods with concurrent Z -scores/ -score cut-offs (−2 standard...
Objectives. To evaluate whether the quality of implementation a water, sanitation, and hygiene program called SHEWA-B delivered by UNICEF to 20 million people in rural Bangladesh was associated with health behaviors sanitation infrastructure access. Methods. We surveyed 33 027 households targeted 1110 promoters 2011 2012. developed an index compared probability access counterfactual scenarios over range quality. Results. Forty-seven percent (n = 14 622) had met promoter, 47% 527) could...
This paper investigates the thermodynamic framework of a three-bed advanced adsorption chiller, where mass recovery scheme has been utilized such that performances this chiller could be improved and CFC-free-based sorption driven by low-grade waste heat or any renewable energy source can developed for next generation refrigeration. Silica gel-water is chosen as adsorbent-refrigerant pair. The comprises with three elements (SEs), one evaporator condenser. configuration SE1 SE2 are identical,...
Intermittently operated distribution systems serve over one billion people and may be impacted by the intrusion of contaminated waters carrying disinfection byproduct (DBP) precursors. The impact on formation 19 DBPs was evaluated in an intermittent water system supplied deep aquifers Dhaka, Bangladesh. Untreated piped samples were collected from residential taps chlorinated under controlled conditions. Chloride, dissolved organic carbon, artificial sweetener sucralose measured as indicators...
Summary Two studies were conducted separately with different combinations of light emitting diode (LED) colour to evaluate the performance, blood properties, meat fatty acid composition and immunity broiler chicks. In Experiment 1, 1536 one day old Ross × chicks randomly divided into 8 treatments three replications: red (R), green (G), blue (B) red→green (R→G), red→blue (R→B), red→green→blue (R→G→B) R→B→G where fluorescent white was control. 2 comprised 6 treatments, including pure (PB),...
The present study was considered to estimate the variance components, heritability and prediction of breeding values (PBV) for important growth traits exotic goat. Traits were birth weight, weaning 6 months weight at 9 months. Data collected from goat farm Bangladesh livestock research institute (BLRI), Savar, Dhaka. Heritability studied estimated by Multivariate animal model using principles Restricted Maximum Likelihood (REML) procedure. mean recorded as 1.41, 7.39, 11.06 14.09 kgs...

Hypochromic effect observed in the spectra nalbuphine. quenching DNA found to be static according Stern-Volmer constant at different temperature (2.257×10<sup>3</sup> L/mol 1.678×10<sup>3</sup> 298 K 308 respectively; binding constants (K) between were 2.081×10<sup>3</sup> 8.26×10<sup>1</sup> respectively). numbers (n) 0.9955 0.6762 standard...
Water, sanitation, and handwashing interventions that use intensive interpersonal communication improve targeted behaviors, but are expensive at scale. Mass media is an alternative could reach more people lower cost has rarely been rigorously evaluated. We assessed the effectiveness of a mass campaign in improving knowledge practices rural Bangladesh. conducted cross-sectional assessment before among 8,947 households again after 4 months 8,400 different same areas. Trained enumerators spot...
Delivering safe water in cities of lower- and middle-income countries remains elusive even where there is a piped supply. Passive, in-line chlorination upstream the point collection reduces child diarrhea without behavior change required for point-of-use treatment products or manual chlorine dispensers. We conducted price experiment to measure effective demand (willingness ability pay) an service using tablet chlorinators among 196 landlords rental housing properties Dhaka, Bangladesh....
