    Abstract Objectives: Nowadays, mobile health applications are developed to raise awareness and facilitate screening and treatment of cervical cancer, while a very few studies have been conducted focusing on the measurement and assurance of usability and exploring the acceptable user experience of such applications. Usability issues become a crucial concern for such cervical-cancer-related applications because users with diverse backgrounds in terms of education, information technology literacy, and geographic reasons are required to access those applications. The objective of this research is to evaluate the usability of mobile health applications developed for cervical cancer patients.
    Methods: Two evaluation studies were conducted following the expert evaluation and a questionnaire-based user study. A total of four cervical-cancer-related applications that are focusing on the
    Results: Both approaches showed that all applications suffer from several usability problems while "Cervical Cancer Guide" performs better and "Cervical Cancer Tracker" showed the least in performance from the usability perspective. Again, the Goal Question Metric performs noticeably better in assessing the learnability of the applications, while the analytical heuristic evaluation performs better in identifying the issues that cause user annoyance.
    Conclusion: The methodology adopted and the usability problems revealed through this study can be well utilized by the information technology professionals or user interface designers for designing, evaluating, and developing the cervical-cancer-related applications with enhanced usability and user experience.

The objective of this research is to evaluate the usability of mobile health applications developed for cervical cancer patients. Methods: Two evaluation studies were conducted following the expert evaluation and a questionnaire-based user study. A total of four cervical-cancer-related applications that are focusing on the Awareness and Diagnosis theme were selected and each of the applications was evaluated by four usability experts. Then, a user study ( n = 80) based on the Goal Question Metric was conducted to reveal the usability problems of four selected applications. Finally, findings of both evaluations were aggregated and analyzed. Results: Both approaches showed that all applications suffer from several usability problems while “Cervical Cancer Guide” performs better and “Cervical Cancer Tracker” showed the least in performance from the usability perspective. Again, the Goal Question Metric performs noticeably better in assessing the learnability of the applications, while the analytical heuristic evaluation performs better in identifying the issues that cause user annoyance.

    Abstract Heavy metal levels in pangasius, tilapia, water, and sediments were studied in four commercial aquaculture regions of Bangladesh, and the related human consumption risk was estimated. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) was used to assess the concentration of heavy metals. Bioconcentration factor (BCF) and biota-sediment accumulation factor (BSAF) were used to assess biota’s metal accumulation ability, while the metal pollution index (MPI) was calculated to compare a total of five metals (arsenic, lead, cadmium, chromium, and cupper) pollution rates. Cr and Cu were detected in pangasius from all sampling regions. Heavy metal levels in tissues revealed a tissue-specific bioaccumulation pattern. Except for Cu, the highest metal load was found in the kidneys, with significant differences to other tissues in tilapia. The muscle accumulated the low concentrations of all metals both in pangasius and tilapia. The mean MPI of the tissues in order from the highest to lowest values: kidney (2.52) > liver (1.30) > muscle (0.14) for pangasius and kidney (3.75) > liver (1.03) > muscle (0.35) for tilapia. In addition to Cd, BCF’s calculation for other heavy metals was higher than that of BSAF, indicating that the bioaccumulation of Cd in tilapia was from the sediments, as well as the bioaccumulation of other heavy metals were from water. Correlation analysis showed that Fulton’s condition factor (K) of both pangasius and tilapia had a negative relationship with MPI for liver and kidney. The pangasius and tilapia cultured in the four aquaculture regions of Bangladesh were found to be low risk for human consumption at a rate of 60 g per day.

    Abstract Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) constitute emerging pollutants of significant public health concern. Antibiotics applied in aquaculture may stimulate the proliferation and dissemination of ARGs. This study investigated the prevalence and diversity of ARGs in Pangasianodon hypophthalmus (formerly Pangasius) and Oreochromis niloticus (formerly Tilapia) commercial aquaculture ponds from four economically important divisions (i.e. regions) of Bangladesh using a high-throughput qPCR ARG SmartChip and further aimed to explore effects of aquaculture pond management and water quality on the observed ARG prevalence patterns. A total of 160 ARGs and 10 mobile genetic elements (MGEs) were detected across all samples (n = 33), of which 76 ARGs and MGEs were shared between all regions. Multidrug resistance genes were the most frequently encountered ARGs, followed by ARGs conferring resistance to β-lactams, aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, and macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B (MLSB). Research ponds managed by the Bangladesh Agricultural University had the lowest abundance and diversity of ARGs, suggesting that proper management such as regular water quality monitoring, fortnightly water exchange and use of probiotics instead of antibiotics may mitigate the dissemination of antibiotic resistance from aquaculture ponds.

    Abstract Increased demand for commercial petroleum derivatives, including diesel has increased the possibility of numerous spills and leakages into the aquatic environment worldwide that can directly or indirectly pollute waterbody disrupting the health status of fish species and other aquatic organisms. This study was conducted to understand the effects of commercial diesel oil on freshwater species of rui (Labeo rohita), catla (Catla catla), and mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala) fingerlings. The fingerlings were exposed to four different concentrations (0; 0.25; 0.50 and 0.75 ppm) of diesel oil, each containing three replications for 96 h. After 96 h lethal concentration (LC₅₀) for rui, 0.35 ppm; catla, 0.30 ppm; and mrigal fingerlings 0.3625 ppm, were calculated through probit analysis. Maximum mortality occurred at the highest concentration of diesel oil, and treated fingerlings showed behavioural and external morphologic alterations. Dissolved oxygen decreased with the increasing of oil concentrations, and water quality was poor among all the treatments. This study demonstrated that commercial diesel oil directly affects the survivability, behaviour, and external morphology of rui, catla, and mrigal fingerlings. It is expected that the present results will be beneficial to make awareness of the fretful effects of commercial diesel oil and other oils uses in the environment.

Research ponds managed by the Bangladesh Agricultural University had the lowest abundance and diversity of ARGs, suggesting that proper management such as regular water quality monitoring, fortnightly water exchange and use of probiotics instead of antibiotics may mitigate the dissemination of antibiotic resistance from aquaculture ponds. The Adonis test (R² = 0.35, p < 0.001) and distance decay relationships revealed that the ARGs composition displayed a significant biogeographical pattern (i.e., separation based on geographic origin). However, this effect could possibly be due to feed type as different feed types were used in different regions. In conclusion, our results indicate that there is a vast potential for improving aquaculture pond management practices in Bangladesh to mitigate the environmental dissemination of ARGs and their subsequent transmission to humans.
