Climate change is a global threat to the world especially for Bangladesh, due to its geographical location. The present study was carried out to the impacts of climate change on livelihood of the fishers at the Meghna, Laukhati and Galachipa river in Bangladesh. The study was assessing the effects of climate change on fishersˊ community in the Meghna, Laukhati and Galachipa rivers near Chandpur and Patuakhali districts. The data on fishersˊ livelihood were collected by using a well-developed questionnaire from the selected areas. The average temperature was recorded as 30.5±0.90°C, 27.1±1.05°C and 27.4±0.60°C and the dissolved oxygen was as 6.37±1.11 mg/L, 5.63±0.33 mg/L and 6.33±0.51 mg/L in the Meghna, Laukhati and Galachipa rivers, respectively. The pH was as 8.3±0.59, 8.03±0.50 and 7.8±0.50 and the salinity was as 0.10±0.10, 0.23±0.13 and 1.2±0.15 ppt in the Meghna, Galachipa and Laukhati rivers, respectively. In the present study, it was found that most of the fishers were belonged to the age groups of 41 to 60 years (45%), represented by 75% muslim and joint family type (61%) was the predominant among the fishers. The highest annual income of fishers was found 20,080 and 24,000 BDT per year at Chandpur and Patuakhali districts, respectively. There has not been conducted much empirical research about the impacts of climate change in the present research areas. Therefore, Government and NGOs should take proper steps by taking various need based projects and providing some sorts of management policy to rescue the vulnerable communities from climate change impacts.

The food industry has changed due to the present industrial revolution, industry 4.0. The processes taking place in energy and food firms leverage aspects of the industry 4.0 paradigm, such as machine learning, the Internet of Things, and Big Data. The goal of this research is to give academics a summary of works that have been published on the topic of food technology. Hence, the review examines the most active authors, sources, organizations, and countries conducting studies in the subject domain. The selected documents from the Web of Science from 2013 to 2021, using Bibliometrix and VOSviewer software to gather relevant publication trends and identify the most significant networks. The results identified that the growth of food technology literature has many documents published in 2021. A total of 2529 documents were published in 527 sources, among which the most popular was Sustainability. Collaboration among authors reached 91 countries, the most prominent country was China. This research will be a vital tool for academics and policymakers in providing well-developed and better-oriented continuous training programs to lessen the skill gap between workers and jobs.
The present study analyses the scientific productivity of University of Calcutta and Jadavpur University for the study period from 2002 to 2021 using the Web of Science database. The retrieved data has been analyzed on the following parameters; year-wise distribution of publication, authorship pattern, degree of collaboration, most productive authors, collaborative institution, and preferred source for publication. A total of 10856 and 14669 records from both universities have been retrieved. The results show that productivity has a fluctuating trend in the publication growth pattern in both universities. The study found that the author S Ghosh has published 653 articles; 7582 total citations and 42 h-index values are the top research productivity of C.U. research output. The study also found that S Das is the most prolific author J.U. with 957 articles, 22006 citations, and 65 h-index values.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
