Oral Hygiene Practices and Awareness among Pharmacy Students of R. P. Shaha University in Bangladesh: A Retrospective Study

Muaj Ibne Sahid1Md Faiazul Haque Lamem2Rafsan Jany3Bristy Saha4Maimuna Hasan5

Oral Health Is A Fundamental Component Of Overall Well-being, Yet It Remains A Neglected Aspect Of Personal Care Among Many Populations. Pharmacy Students, As Future Healthcare Providers, Are Expected To Possess Both Knowledge And Personal Practices. This Retrospective Cohort Study Involved Undergraduate Pharmacy Students From Various Academic Years At R. P. Shaha University In Narayanganj, Bangladesh. Using A Structured Paper-based Questionnaire, The Research Assessed Student’s Awareness And Practices Related To Oral Hygiene, Focusing On Their Knowledge, Behaviors, And Influencing Factors. A Representative Sample Of Students Revealed That 65.4% Brush Their Teeth Twice Daily, With A Predominant Use Of Toothpaste (97.44%) Over Traditional Methods Like Meswak (2.56%). The Study Reveals A Concerning Trend, With 82.1% Of Students Neglecting Preventive Dental Care, Yet 83.3% Are Mistakenly Satisfied With Their Oral Health. Notably, 25.6% Of Students Reported Never Having Visited A Dentist, And Only 3.8% Sought Dental Care Annually, Indicating A Reactive Rather Than Proactive Approach To Oral Health. Furthermore, Herbal Toothpaste Is Less Favored, With Only 24.4% Usage, And Only 33.3% Use Mouthwash, Highlighting A Gap In Comprehensive Oral Hygiene Practices.

Enhancing Profitability through Effective Supply Chain Management in Duck Farming Business in Bangladesh

Dr. Sabyasachi Sarker1

Bangladesh’s Livestock Sector Has Become The Most Essential Part Of Economic Development. The Poultry Industry Is One Of The Major Revenue-generating Sectors In Bangladesh. During The 1990’s The Primary Source Of Chicken Meat And Eggs Was Collected From Backyard Processing In Bangladesh. However, With The Advent Of Commercial Broiler And Layer Farming In The Nation, These Commercial Farms Have Become The Primary Source Of Chicken Meat And Eggs Since The Mid-1990s. There Was Strong Evidence Of A Significant Animal Protein Shortage In Bangladesh, And The Country's Present Production Of Animal Proteins Is Sufficient These Days To Meet Demand, As Per The Information By The Department Of Livestock Services, Bangladesh. Among All Company Categories In Asia, Livestock-related Businesses Are Expanding At The Quickest Rate. The Pace At Which Milk, Meat, And Eggs Are Consumed Is Rising Daily. Since All These Products Are Perishable, The Makers Primarily Adhere To A High Standard Of Food Security Up Until The Point At Which The Consumers Consume The Product. Businesses That Focus On Livestock Mostly Sell Raw Meat, Eggs, Milk, And Items Manufactured From Milk. One Of The Most Popular Poultry Species With A Big Economic Impact Is The Duck. In Bangladesh, Duck Farming To Produce Meat And Eggs Has A Bright Future. In Rural Places, Duck Farming Is Still Primarily Done Using Traditional Farming Methods Without The Use Of Modern Technology. In This Study, The Researcher Worked On How Rural Area Farms Can Benefit From Rearing Ducks And How Effectively The Supply Chain Process Will Help Them Enhance Their Profitability In The Market.

Design and Implementation of an SMS-based Fault Detection System Using Arduino STM32 Microcontroller

Md Lutfur Rahman1Rajib Mondal2Md Shariar Hasan3Md Abu Hena Shatil4Md Abdul Mannan5Rapsan Amin Anonto6

The Paper Deals With Safety Features And Notifies The Manager Of Any Industrial Load. It Includes Sensors To Monitor Current, Voltage, And Temperature Data Continuously If Something Goes Wrong. This Study Uses Arduino As A Microcontroller To Check Sensor Data And Execute Appropriate Actions For The Load. Upon Detection Of A Fault By The Sensor, The Arduino Will Trip The Switch And Disconnect The Load. Additionally, A Further Feature Is The Utilization Of Gsm For Fault Detection And Localization. Upon The Occurrence Of A Defect, The Gsm Module Delivers An Sms To Notify And Urge Rapid Action By Field Operators. In This System, The Simulation Model Is Set Up Into Proteus 8.1 Professional Software.

The Dynamics of Fintech Adoption Among Bangladeshi Youth: A UTAUT2 Model Perspective

Md Nazmul Hasan1

Bangladesh's Rapid Economic Progress And Technological Advancement Have Significantly Impacted Its Financial Technology (fintech) Sector. This Study Investigates The Factors Influencing Fintech Adoption Among Bangladeshi Youth, Employing The Unified Theory Of Acceptance And Use Of Technology 2 (utaut2) Model And The Theory Of Planned Behavior. The Findings Reveal That Performance Expectancy, Facilitating Conditions, And Trust Positively Influence Fintech Adoption Intention, Highlighting The Importance Of User-friendly, Reliable, And Secure Fintech Solutions. Interestingly, Social Influence Negatively Impacts Adoption Intention, Suggesting Skepticism Towards Peer Recommendations. The Study Also Finds That Effort Expectancy And Hedonic Motivation Do Not Significantly Affect Adoption Intention, Indicating A Focus On Practicality And Utility Over Ease Of Use And Enjoyment. Service Quality Significantly Impacts User Behavior, Emphasizing The Need For High-quality Customer Service To Maintain User Engagement. These Insights Provide Valuable Guidance For Fintech Companies Aiming To Enhance Adoption And User Satisfaction By Focusing On Critical Factors Influencing User Perceptions And Behaviors. This Research Expands The Utaut2 Model By Incorporating Information Quality And Willingness To Pay, Offering A Comprehensive Framework For Understanding Fintech Adoption In Developing Countries Like Bangladesh. Overall, The Study Enhances The Theoretical Framework Of Fintech Adoption By Integrating Context-specific Variables And Providing Empirical Evidence From A Developing Country Perspective.
