Abstract

This comparative research explores the intricate roles of government and the private sector in the growth of agribusiness, analyzing the different approaches used by the USA and Bangladesh. The prevailing paradigm in the USA is market-driven, with an emphasis on private sector dominance, technical innovation, and large-scale agricultural. Bangladesh, on the other hand, takes a hybrid strategy to addressing socioeconomic difficulties, combining government interventions and private efforts with a focus on smallholder empowerment. Divergent tactics, problems, and outcomes in agribusiness growth are revealed by the investigation. Both countries are concerned about concerns such as sustainable practices, market access, and infrastructure. Context-specific solutions, customized to each country's particular socioeconomic context, emerge as critical. The study emphasizes the importance of government and private sector collaboration in fostering resilient and sustainable agribusiness ecosystems, providing useful insights for global agricultural development policy.

Abstract

This study looks at the challenges and benefits of interreligious and interfaith marriages. It looks at how different beliefs, values, and practices affect personal relationships and the way a family works. Using a qualitative research approach, we conducted in-depth investigations and research on interreligious and interfaith marriages to gain insight into the various measurements in different countries and religions. Interfaith marriage is prohibited in many religions, but in the present it is normal. Especially in Christianity, interfaith marriage is popular at differing ages, like before 25, 26–35, and 36–45, with a percentage of 48, 58, and 67. Our findings suggest that while these marriages can be challenging, they also offer opportunities for personal growth, greater understanding of different religious traditions, and the promotion of interfaith dialogue and cooperation.

Abstract

Utilizing econometric modeling and data from thirty-three observations, the study investigates how important economic variables affect LFPR.GDP growth, the FDI ratio, inflation, and trade ratios are among the variables. The findings show a relationship between long-term fixed rate mortgages and foreign direct investment (FDI), but not between total lending. The effects of inflation and GDP growth are less evident. The study highlights the complexity of labor market behavior modeling while taking into account potential problems with econometric models, such as heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation. The results also significantly close knowledge gaps in the economic dynamics underlying labor force participation and provide policymakers with recommendations for improving the efficiency and inclusivity of the labor market. The analysis's conclusions show that all the various social, demographic, and economic factors that affect labor force dynamics must be taken into account when creating policy.

Abstract

The purpose of this film review is to investigate the nuanced portrayal of women who are practicing celibacy within the framework of the Indian Bengali film Cosmic Sex. The film explores the transformational role that women adopting celibacy as a spiritual practice might play, as well as the connection between celibacy and the prevention of violence. Through its investigation of cosmic consciousness and sexuality, the film offers a fresh viewpoint on the ways in which women, by adopting Brahmacharya (the concept of celibacy in Hinduism), contribute to the establishment of a harmonious social order. The cultural significance of the film is its ability to challenge conventions and promote a holistic approach to empowerment. In this approach, celibacy is portrayed as a tool for self-realization and a weapon for averting violence. The review sparkle illuminated on the junction of spirituality, female agency, and societal harmony within the film.

Abstract

This study explores Hindu marriage history, system, ritual, rite, type, and interfaith marriage in Hinduism and various castes, and the Bollywood movie industry in India, focusing on the sacred bonds formed beyond religious beliefs. It tries to clarify how Hindu marriage rituals are components of various religions and traditional customs among castes, encouraging inclusivity and peace. This paper uses descriptive qualitative methodology through the analysis of past scholars’ papers, chanting mantras, and the last 120 years of the Indian census for the women and male ratio per thousand. Hinduism embraces diversity and adapts to accommodate various religious and cultural backgrounds, allowing couples to celebrate their love while honoring their respective traditions. Especially in Bollywood, where interfaith marriage is common. The last 10 decades have seen a decrease in the number of women, but according to the 2021 Indian Census, the women's ratio has increased over the last 12 decades. The situation will increase the number of interfaith couples, and interfaith marriage rituals in Hinduism will serve as a bridge between different faiths, promoting unity and understanding among diverse communities.
