    Abstract Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs) account for 67% of total deaths in Bangladesh. However, the Bangladeshi health system is inadequately prepared to tackle NCDs. Evidence on NCD-specific health-seeking behavior can help appropriately address the needs of people affected by NCDs in Bangladesh. Our study aims to explore health-seeking behavior for people affected by NCDs in northern Bangladesh. We conducted a qualitative study in Mithapukur, Rangpur, during 2015-2016. We purposely selected respondents and carried out 25 in-depth interviews with individuals affected by non-communicable diseases and 21 healthcare providers. Additionally, we held six focus group discussions in the wider community. We verbatim transcribed all interviews and analyzed the content using thematic analysis, according to the following thematic areas: individual, household, and contextual factors that influence health-seeking behavior for NCDs within the context of the broader socio-economic environment. Study findings indicate that people seek care only when symptoms disrupt their daily lifestyle. Henceforth, people's health beliefs, religious beliefs, and relations with local providers direct their actions, keeping provider accessibility, cost anticipation, and satisfying provider-encounters in mind. Health-seeking is predominantly delayed and fragmented. Semi-qualified providers represent a popular first choice. Gender roles dominate health-seeking behavior as women need their guardian's permission to avail care. Our findings indicate the need to sensitize people about the importance of early health-seeking for NCDs, and continuing life-long NCD treatment. Our findings also highlight the need for people-centered care, making preventive and curative NCD services accessible at grassroots level, along with relevant provider training. Furthermore, special provisions, such as financial support and outreach programs are needed to enable access to NCD care for women and the poor.

    Abstract This study was undertaken to investigate the current pollution status of the Gomti River in Bangladesh by collecting water samples from twenty sites along the 120 km stretch of the Gomti River during the rainy (June 2019) and dry (January 2020) seasons. The collected samples were examined for their physicochemical parameters (pH, EC, TDS, TOC, and turbidity), heavy metals, namely chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn), and bacteriological parameters (aerobic heterotrophic bacteria and total coliforms). All the physicochemical parameters obtained were within the recommended guidelines set by the World Health Organization (WHO, 2011). Among the metals, Fe, Ni, and Zn were found to be higher than the recommended guideline values in the dry season. A significant (p < 0.05) positive correlation was found between Cu and Zn indicating that water pollution by these two metals may have originated from common anthropogenic sources. The present study revealed, for the first time, that the river Gomti was considerably polluted with bacterial populations. Identified in the water samples include Shigella spp., Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli, Bacillus licheniformis, Alcaligenes sp., Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella sp., Bacillus megaterium, Enterobacter sp., and Staphylococcus sp. The presence of Shigella spp., Salmonella spp., and Escherichia coli in the bacterial isolates is certainly a major water quality concern. Aerobic heterotrophic bacteria and total coliform counts were found to be 0.45 × 102 to 1.84 × 104 CFU/mL and 0.05 × 102 to 7.32 × 103 CFU/mL, respectively, which were above the permissible limits of WHO (2011) and are deemed unfit for drinking and domestic purposes, and fish culture. From this study, the priority pollutants of concern in the Gomti River water are Fe, Ni, Zn, aerobic heterotrophic bacteria, and total coliforms. Considering the importance of the Gomti River in the national economy of Bangladesh, appropriate water management along with the Best Management ...

    Abstract 3D vision with real-time LiDAR-based point cloud data became a vital part of autonomous system research, especially perception and prediction modules use for object classification, segmentation, and detection. Despite their success, point cloud-based network models are vulnerable to multiple adversarial attacks, where the certain factor of changes in the validation set causes significant performance drop in well-trained networks. Most of the existing verifiers work perfectly on 2D convolution. Due to complex architecture, dimension of hyper-parameter, and 3D convolution, no verifiers can perform the basic layer-wise verification. It is difficult to conclude the robustness of a 3D vision model without performing the verification. Because there will be always corner cases and adversarial input that can compromise the model's effectiveness. In this project, we describe a point cloud-based network verifier that successfully deals state of the art 3D classifier PointNet verifies the robustness by generating adversarial inputs. We have used extracted properties from the trained PointNet and changed certain factors for perturbation input. We calculate the impact on model accuracy versus property factor and can test PointNet network's robustness against a small collection of perturbing input states resulting from adversarial attacks like the suggested hybrid reverse signed attack. The experimental results reveal that the resilience property of PointNet is affected by our hybrid reverse signed perturbation strategy

    Abstract Mining water quality must be monitored regularly to assess the potential impact on local water resources, surface water, and groundwater. This report determined the physicochemical, heavy metals content, and microbiological characteristics of mining drainage water and paddy field water in the surrounding area to determine the extent of pollution. The physicochemical water quality parameters of mine water, including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), dissolved oxygen (DO), and salinity, was 6.4–7.6, 100–600 s/cm, 25–369 ppm, 9.0–12.10 ppm, and 0.02–0.29 ppt, respectively. When six metals (Pb, Cr, Ni, Zn, Cu, and Fe) were compared as potential contaminants with various international water pollution indices such as the heavy metal pollution index (HPI), heavy metal evaluation index (HEI), and degree of contamination (DC), this water was found to be contaminated with Pb, Ni, Zn, and Fe. The microbial water quality index of the mine water was found to be within the WHO recommended level, but the presence of sulfur-reducing bacteria was detected in all the water samples tested. The presence of many sulfate-reducing bacteria in water sources can lead to higher levels of free sulfur, which can cause dermatological problems in humans.

    Abstract Background and Objectives: Elevated oxidative stress has been shown to play an important role in the diagnosis and prognosis of stress and memory-related complications. Mukia madrespatana ( M. madrespatana ) has been reported to have various biological and antioxidant properties. We intended to evaluate the effect of M. madrespatana peel on single immobilization stress-induced behavioral deficits and memory changes in rats. Materials and Methods: M. madrespatana peel (2000 mg/kg/day, orally) was administered to control and immobilize stressed animals for 4 weeks. Anxiolytic, antidepressant, and memory-enhancing effects of M. madrespatana were observed in both unstressed and stressed animals. Results: Lipid peroxidation was decreased while antioxidant enzymes were increased in both unstressed and stressed animals. Acetylcholine level was increased while acetylcholinesterase activity was decreased in both M. madrespatana treated unstressed and stressed rats. There was also an improvement in memory function. Serotonin neurotransmission was also regulated in M. madrespatana treated rats following immobilization stress with anxiolytic and anti-depressive effects. Conclusion: Based on the current study, it is suggested that M. madrespatana has strong antioxidant properties and may be beneficial as dietary supplementation in stress and memory-related conditions.

    Abstract Oil refineries are facing an ever-strict restriction in terms of fuel specification in view of the several policies by the environmental impact agency (EIA). Strict rules have been enforced on the gasoline product specification. Isomerization is one of the key processes for increasing the octane number of gasoline. Hence a case study has been performed using the concept of hydrogen once-through technology to analyze the process constraints for optimal operation of the process using Aspen HYSYS. In addition to this, a rigorous process model of isomerate stabilizer was also used to compare the results of the stabilizer model and optimize those various variables affecting the octane number of gasoline. The model was validated by observing the effects of constraints on the efficiency of the process by comparing it with the operational isomerization unit to further verify the authenticity of the case study. Furthermore, a calculator has been generated for the reactor temperature with respect to high benzene contents in the feedstock (benzene in feed Vs reactors ΔT).
