Though Bangladesh is owning self-sufficiency in many sectors, the increasing population is a great impediment for the development of the country. So, promoting different contraceptive methods is of much importance. This work aims at identifying the important determinants that affect the long-acting and permanent methods (LAPM) of contraception. Firstly, chi-square test of association is carried out for defining the correlates of LAPM of contraception using Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS), 2017-18 data. For estimating the effects of each controlled independent variables, data are further analyzed within a multivariate framework. To obtain consistent and efficient estimates of parameters of interest, multinomial logistic regression model is used in this work. The study finds several socio-economic and demographic variables having high impact on using LAPM. The study findings are properly discussed and recommendations are made accordingly for the policy makers. Dhaka Univ. J.

WRF-ARW model has been used on a 10 km Horizontal Resolution (HR) domain for 96, 72, 48, and 24-hour lead time simulations. The model's performance is assessed by examining Mean Sea Level Pressure (MSLP), vertical distribution of velocity components, wind flow pattern, relative vorticity, vertical wind shear, relative humidity, latent heat flux at the surface, and track pattern. The simulated results are compared carefully to the observations from the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) and the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The findings are reasonably consistent with the observations. The simulated track is also reasonable even up to 72 hours in advance. Finally, the study's results suggest that the WRF model can be used as an effective tool in predicting TCs over the BoB. Dhaka Univ. J.

Briquetting is a process where untreated biomass is converted into homogeneous, uniformly sized high density solid blocks. Briquettes are used in boilers, heating plants, thermal power stations and by individual households for heating. Present study focuses on using poultry manure with rice husk and saw dust. Poultry manure mixed with rice husk or saw dust by 60:40 ratio provides comparatively higher bond strength. Calorific value varies significantly with the use of poultry manure and tree leaves as well as its production cost. Pure rice husk contains higher calorific value (HCV) 12.6 MJ/Kg where adding poultry manure reduces its value to 10.3 MJ/Kg and Saw dust shows 10.4 MJ/Kg where pure saw dust has 16.3 MJ/Kg in 60:40 ratios with poultry manure. Addition of 20% tree leaves on weight basis ratio of 40:40:20 with base materials and poultry manure shows 10.5 MJ/Kg and 11.7 MJ/Kg respectively for rice husk and saw dust. Competitive price of briquette for 60:40 ratios with Poultry Manure shows 6 BDT/Kg and 5BDT/Kg when secondary material is added. Moreover, if the machine capacity increases the price is reduced. Dhaka Univ. J.

Backward Elimination (BE) can be stated in terms of sample correlations and simple RBE can be obtained by swapping out these correlations with their corresponding robust counterparts. The robust correlation for winsorized data was employed based on the adjusted winsorized correlation as a robust bivariate correlation. In another study, the Spearman rank correlation was employed as a robust bivariate correlation. However, the RBE has some drawbacks in the presence of multivariate outliers. In this article, the usage of FastMCD (Fast minimum covariance determinant)-based correlation is proposed in BE to reduce the influence of outlying data points. We call this proposed method BEmcd. A comprehensive simulation study was conducted to evaluate the performance of BEmcd with that of RBE based on winsorized correlation and Spearman rank correlation. Simulations and an application of actual data demonstrate the outstanding performance of BEmcd. Dhaka Univ. J.

However, the unnecessary use of C-S has detrimental impacts on both mothers’ and newborns’ health. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of caesarean delivery and to find out the related factors influencing the rapid rise in C-Sin Bangladesh by considering an appropriate statistical model in line with the data structure. The study is based on the data from the 2017-2018 BDHS which is a nationally representative survey. BDHS is conducted periodically and 2017-2018 is the latest of all the BDHS conducted so far. Information used in the present study was collected from 5230 mothers who provided complete information about all the variables considered in the study. Among the Bangladeshi women, the rate of Caesarean sections (C-S) was reported to be 32.94% which is high in any international standard. Multilevel analysis suggests that the highest education level, current working status, wealth index, media exposure, number of decisions in which women participated, age at birth, BMI, birth order of the index child, number of ANC visits during the period of pregnancy, and childbirth weight have significant influence on whether mothers deliver babies through the C-S. In order to prevent needless caesarean deliveries and safeguard mothers from the consequences, Bangladesh urgently needs caesarean delivery policy guidelines. The study will help the policymaker in taking such initiatives. Dhaka Univ. J.
