Among the plant nutrients, potassium (K) is one of vital elements required for growth and physiology. Potassium not only a constituent structure but it also has regulatory function in several biochemical processes related to protein synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, enzyme activation. Several physiological depend on K, such as stomatal regulation photosynthesis. In recent decades, K was found provide abiotic stress tolerance. Under salt stress, helps maintain ion homeostasis regulate...
Biogenic nanoparticles are the smartest weapons to deal with multidrug-resistant "superbugs" because of their broad-spectrum antibacterial propensity as well excellent biocompatibility. The aqueous biogenic silver (Aq-bAgNPs) and ethanolic (Et-bAgNPs) were synthesized using extracts Andrographis paniculata stem, respectively, reducing agents. Electron microscopic images confirmed synthesis almost spherical shaped (bAgNPs). zeta potentials negative -22 -26 mV for Aq-bAgNPs Et-bAgNPs,...
Flood is one of the most common hazards in many countries, affecting both life and properties. The recent climatic changes have brought a rise flood frequency intensity making this phenomenon more devastating to people. Especially, riparian communities Jamalpur along Jamuna river suffer at least once every year accounting for natural hazard. In scenario like this, precaution crucial task fight against phenomenon. Therefore, study attempts identify vulnerable zones district situating beside...

We conducted a meta-analysis to explore dose–response relationships for bladder and lung cancers when people are chronically exposed low doses of arsenic. searched electronic databases articles published through 2010. Ten studies on cancer ingested arsenic exposure five fit our selection criteria. also investigate the sensitivity absolute risk under different underlying prevalence measures. Males have higher than do females at all maximum contamination levels. The from correlates highly with...
<h3>ABSTRACT</h3> <h3>Introduction:</h3> Bangladesh has a long history of mature and institutionalized community health worker (CHW) programs in primary care. However, there is lot variability the performance CHW Bangladesh, as well challenges associated with retention CHWs. This study describes for CHWs, which turn affect their motivation performance. <h3>Methods:</h3> was conducted from December 2019 to January 2020 4 districts Bangladesh: Cox9s Bazar, Khulna, Rajshahi, Sylhet. Twenty...
Introduction There is a renewed global interest in improving community health worker (CHW) programmes. For CHW programmes to be effective, key intervention design factors which contribute the performance of CHWs need identified. The recent WHO guidelines recommends combination financial and non-financial incentives improve performance. However, evidence gaps remain as what package will their different country contexts. This study aims evaluate incentive preferences retention strengthen help...

Diospyros malabarica (Deshi Gab) belonging to the family "Ebenaceae" grows well in humid tropical climate of Bangladesh. In order investigate phytoconstituents both qualitatively and quantitatively, seed flesh extracts D. were prepared using two polar solvents (i.e., water 70% ethanol) a nonpolar solvent hexane). The maximum yield was obtained for aqueous ethanolic indicating that most present fruit are polar. qualitative phytochemical analysis revealed presence diverse amount extracts. On...
