Therefore, the present study aims to assess water quality variables and fish biodiversity of the Hizla-Mehendiganj hilsa sanctuary. Water and fish samples were collected from different sites within and outside the sanctuary. Physicochemical variables such as dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS) and transparency were measured and fish biodiversity was estimated using different richness and evenness indices. The mean DO, temperature, pH and transparency inside the sanctuary were 5.6 ± 0.1 mg/l, 29.1 ± 0.7°C, 8.3 ± 0.05 and 20.5 ± 2.3 cm, respectively which were nearly similar to the estimated values of those variables of the outside sanctuary. This study found a total of 374 individuals of 21 fish species under 6 orders and 14 families. According to the IUCN report 2015, this study found that 76.19, 9.52 and 4.76% of these species are listed in the Least Concern, Endangered and Vulnerable category, respectively. Within the sanctuary, 76 individuals of 13 fish species under 4 orders were recorded which was lower than the recorded number of total individuals and number of species outside the sanctuary sites. Within the sanctuary, estimated Shannon’s, Simpson’s, Margalef’s and Buzas and Gibson’s indices were 1.881, 0.214, 1.881 and 1.156, respectively which indicated comparatively moderate diversity. The highest biodiversity was found in the Ilisha river near Rukundi, outside the sampling site of the sanctuary. The findings of this study can be used for future biodiversity assessments, conservation and impact assessments of the Hizla- Mehendiganj hilsa sanctuary.\u0000Dhaka Univ. J. Biol.

A total of 168 species under 18 orders and 56 families were recorded and 6,551 individual of birds were counted. The order Passeriformes had the highest species richness (71 species, 42.26%) and abundance (n=3,831, 58.48%). Among the bird species, 48 species (29.58%) were migratory and the rest were resident. During the winter season, the highest number of bird species (156 species, 92.85%) and individuals (n= 2,960, 45.18%) were observed. The overall comparison of species richness and abundance for three seasons were significant. Pair-wise one-way ANOVA for species richness and abundance of birds shows significant differences between winter-rainy and summer-winter seasons.The diversity index showed the highest value in winter season. Analysis of similarity (ANOSIM) test showed a significant difference in birds communities among three-season. Among the 10 types of microhabitats surveyed, trees were the most used by the bird species (103 species, 61.31%) The highest 69 species (41.07%) were very common according to the observation status. The most abundant bird was Pycnonotus cafer with the highest relative abundance (5.15%). Bird hunting, trade, and habitat loss were the major threats for the survival of bird community in this area. Therefore, immediate initiatives are needed to implement for the conservation of bird and their habitats.\u0000Dhaka Univ. J. Biol.

Acid soil was mixed with calcareous soil at a ratio of 3:1 for experiment with red amaranth. The pot experiment was conducted with the mixed soil indicated by T0M (control-where no amendment was added), three different rates of cow dung such as T1 (3 ton/ha), T2 (6 ton/ha) and T3 (9 ton/ha) and three rate of poultry manure designated as T4 (2 ton/ha), T5 (4 ton/ha) and T6 (6 ton/ha). Treatment responses were evaluated in terms of different parameters including uptake of nutrients by plants and post-harvest properties of soil such as physico-chemical properties and residual nutrient content of the soil. It is evident from the experiment that the uptake of the plant nutrients was the best in the mixed soil (T0M-control) than those of the acid (TA) and calcareous soils (TC). On the other hand, T3 (9 ton cow dung/ha) showed the highest uptake of nutrients except for S and Mg among the all treatments. In the post-harvest soil, the maximum nutrient contents increased in the highest doses of cow dung (except for the S, Cu, Mn and Zn) and poultry manure (except for the K, Ca, Mg and Fe) treatments. Results of the study showed that soil amendment (mixture of acid and calcareous soil) can be a suitable reclamation process while the addition of organic manures can also improve soil health.\u0000Dhaka Univ.

Normative Beliefs about Aggression Scale (NOBAGS) is such a popular tool to identify aggression scripts by measuring children’s cognitive dispositions toward aggressive behavior. The current study culturally adapted and psychometrically validated the NOBAGS for elementary school students. After translating all 20 items, it was administered to 210 children (pilot: 30, field study: 180), ages ranging from 10 to 11 years, recruited from two different schools in Dhaka using the convenience sampling method. The Bangla NOBAGS retained all 20 items of the original scale with a latent structure of six correlated components. The Bangla NOBAGS showed satisfactory reliability estimates (Total scale: McDonald’s ωt =.96; subscales McDonald’s ωt: .68-.90) and validity evidence. The psychometric sound properties of the Bangla NOBAGS suggest the plausible use of this scale to assess elementary school children’s perception towards aggressive behavior.\u0000Dhaka Univ. J. Biol.

This scale was divided into seven sub divisions. Those are the mood (7 items), academic grade (7 items), favorite activities (8 items), sleep (5 items), food habit (9 items), withdrawal behavior (8 items) and physical illness (7 items). These items were arranged in a 4-point Likert type scale for the first try out. It was administered 119 adolescents who are purposively selected. Among them 58 were overweight adolescents (30 boys and 28 girls) and 61 were normal weight adolescents (31 boys and 30 girls). The age range of the participants are 11 to 16 years. To determine the internal consistency item-total correlation and Cronbach’s Alpha was calculated. The Cronbach’s Alpha of total scale was .869 and sub scales were also satisfactory, α =0, 01. Content validity, convergent validity and concurrent validity were calculated and those were also found significant for overscheduled scale for adolescents. The minimum and maximum possible score of this scale was 0 to 144. Higher scores indicate high level of over schedule and lower score indicate less level of over schedule.\u0000Dhaka Univ. J. Biol.
