“…This corroborates the findings reported in other international studies beside Jordan. [ 6 9 14 15 16 17 ] It is claimed that close head contact between boys tends to be less than between girls. This is probably the case as girls generally have longer hair, leading to closer head contact.…”

Background:Head lice, a common social and health problem among all age groups, is especially widespread among school-aged children.Aims:This study aimed to assess the prevalence of pediculosis capitis among governmental primary school students in Southern Jordan and its related risk factors.Settings and Design:A sample of 500 primary schools students aged 6–12 from two male and two female public primary schools in four educational directorates were selected randomly in this cross-sectional study.Materials and Methods:Data were collected using a modified questionnaire that was completed by the students with the help of their parents. Students were then asked to return the questionnaire a day ahead of the examination date with a signed consent from the parents.Statistical Analysis:SPSS software was used with Chi-square testing to study the significant relationship between lice infestation prevalence and the independent variables. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.Results and Conclusion:The overall prevalence of lice infestation was 20.4% and was significantly higher among girls than boys. The prevalence rate was higher among rural residents, those living in shared rooms, families with a monthly income of <200 Jordanian Dinar, illiterate father and mother, those living in families with more than five members, houses with fewer than three rooms, students with longer hair, those with a history of infestation in the previous year, and students who share home articles with other family members. Female gender, low socioeconomic status, a history of contact, inadequate hygiene practices, and sharing articles were the major risk factors.

“…Even he succeeds in stopping the play from being staged by ejecting the crowd and the entire theatre crew with the help of the police. From the historical backdrop, as stated by Karim (2004), Fagun Haway's (2019) narrative thus establishes a link with the communalism that developed under British Rule as well as the politicization of the Islamic identity that took root and gave rise to a new Bengali ethos at that time. In the final section of the narrative, Obayed exhibits extreme brutality as he kills Nasir's cousin Manju with a knife to stop the village youth group from painting anti-Pakistani graffiti.…”

“…In Bangladesh, nationalism originated as a result of the two most significant components in the process of compound identity formation-language and religion-where Bengaliness, an ethno-linguistic identity, and Muslimness, a religio-linguistic identity, emerged (Akhter, 2014a) Citing Majumdar (1960), Karim (2004) states that Bengal which was mainly consisted of three major territories, once known as Gangaradai in early recorded history (Majumdar, 1960 as cited in Karim, 2004, p.41). Although little evidence can shed light on the racial origins of the Bengali people, some Indian authors harbor that Bengalis belonged to the tribe called Bang, who came from Indonesia or Malaya.…”

“…This disparity between Hindus and Muslims that prevailed in the 19th century accelerated the Muslim desire to form a middle class, which ultimately led to the formation of a separate Muslim nation in the 20 th century (Akhtar, 2014a). Besides, Karim (2004) This ethnolinguistic identity, which was secular and culturally unique, served as the key motivator for the mass uprising against West Pakistan's discrimination and finally led to the formation of Bangladesh as an independent nation in 1971. Following independence, Bengali nationalism came to be recognized as the identity of this nation, while secularism was enshrined in the constitution as one of the fundamental principles.…”

The years 1948-1952 were pivotal for the history of Bangladesh. The question of what would be the state language was raised by the people of this country. Muslim leaders in Pakistan, at the time, believed that Urdu should be the state language because it had become recognized as the cultural symbol of sub-continental Muslims. However, most of Pakistan’s population, the Bengalis of eastern Pakistan, to whom Urdu was a foreign language, considered it a ploy by the West Pakistanis to colonize East Pakistan. Protests erupted across East Pakistan after the then Prime Minister of Pakistan replaced Bangla as the state language with Urdu. On February 21, 1952, a student protest resulted in the deaths of some students by police. The language movement drew Bengalis’ attention to their collective aspirations to create a new nation and nationalist identity, leading them to fight for an imagined sovereign state, Bangladesh. Against the backdrop of our language movement, Fagun Haway (In Spring Breeze, 2019), a film by Tauquir Ahmed, captures the anecdotes of Pakistani repression towards Bengalis by portraying the nationalist consciousness and identity approaches of this nation. Employing the concept of nationalism and the historical development of our identity approaches, this paper shows that Ahmed displays the coexistence of Bengali and Muslim identity approaches as well as the contentious relationship between these two approaches inside our nationalism at that time. Besides, Bengaliness is viewed as the dominating approach when the debate over the state language turns into a divisive political one and a fight for our very existence.

“…In addition to the impacts of climate change, rice farming households have gradually been leaving their traditional homelands, creating a significant problem for agriculture by reducing the availability of labour for cultivation, harvesting, and processing [133]. Demographic change and agribusiness change needs to be assessed and analysed to determine the most appropriate technological and market-based solutions at the local and regional levels and design sustainable rice system policies at higher levels of governance and management.…”

Rice-based food production is crucial for food security, socio-political stability, and economic development in Bangladesh. However, climate and environmental changes pose serious challenges to sustainable rice production in the country. This review paper critically reviews the status, challenges, and adaptation opportunities of Bangladeshi rice systems in changing environmental, demographic, and socio-economic settings. A mixed-methods approach (quantitative summary of secondary data on rice production, environmental changes, impact on rice productivity; and qualitative thematic synthesis) was used to review adaptation for resilient rice production. Significant agronomic and environmental challenges to rice-based cropping in Bangladesh are posed by rising temperatures, anomalous rainfall patterns, extreme weather, and increasing salinisation. Rice production, availability, and access have been further compromised by decreasing arable areas, labour shortages, crop diversification, and low profitability. Farmers are adapting through autonomous and centrally planned strategies such as efficient irrigation and input use, stress-tolerant cultivars, mechanisation, and income diversification. However, profitable and sustainable adaptation requires broader facilitation by the government (e.g., infrastructure, financial incentives) and agribusiness (e.g., extension services, contracting). This review paper recommends research and development support for efficient irrigation management and stress-tolerant cultivars, enabling policy initiatives, and equitable value chain participation. The insights of the review can be applied to policymakers to target policy design and decision-making for a sustainable rice system in years to come.
