Abstract

This study examines community participation in integrated solid waste management (ISWM) at Jahangirnagar University in Bangladesh. The university faces significant challenges in waste management, with negative social, environmental and economic consequences. The goal is to identify barriers to community involvement in ISWM and provide recommendations for enhancing engagement. The research uses a mixed-methods approach, surveying 397 respondents using cluster random sampling from the university's population of 20,000. Data collection methods include interviews, observations, focus groups, and document analysis. The findings highlight obstacles to community participation, such as limited community empowerment, mobilization, organization, and resource coordination. Household waste segregation is practiced by only 30% of respondents. However, 74% of participants express willingness to oversee door-to-door waste collection and dispose of waste at designated points, influenced by socioeconomic factors. Non-compliance with ISWM regulations is observed in 26% of respondents, and 12% lack sufficient knowledge about ISWM, indicating a need for improved organization and coordination. Additionally, some university authorities rely on outdated methods, resulting in weak enforcement of environmental regulations. Ineffective policies exacerbate the situation, failing to align with the market economy. The study recommends fostering cooperation between university authorities and the community, revising and enforcing regulations, and emphasizing waste generators' responsibility for proper disposal. Addressing these challenges can significantly improve solid waste management and environmental outcomes at Jahangirnagar University.

Abstract

Rabies is a fatal and acute infection of the brain. The virulence factor of this infection is the Rabies virus, which belongs to the Rhabdoviridae family. It is a zoonotic disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans.  The common ways of transferral of Rabies in humans are the transmission of rabies by the bite of a rabid animal and transmission due to saliva and consumption of meat and milk of rabid animals. Some wild animals, e.g., skunks, dogs, raccoons, foxes, and bats, can also transfer rabies in humans, mammals, and other animals. The incubation period of Rabies is at least 2 weeks to a maximum of 6 years, with an average duration of 2 to 3 months. Given its status as a significant zoonotic disease, it is crucial to have an accurate and prompt diagnosis to facilitate early treatment and implement effective measures for prevention and control. This study comprehensively analyzes epidemiology, transmission, etiology, advancements in diagnostics, immunization, therapy methods, and effective prevention and control techniques. The main objective of this study is to brief the threat of rabies and its management along with providing some brief knowledge related to rabies. The web sources (e.g., Google Scholar, Pubmed) were used to collect data regarding Rabies and briefly explained. As a result, it is clear that rabies is a big threat to the whole world so management strategies are required to target and overcome this threat. This study concludes that the Rabies virus can be managed by following the preventive and managemental strategies.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine and analyze the effect of apparatus competency analysis, organizational commitment, community participation, use of information technology and transparency, on village fund management decisions (Village Case Study in Gempol District, Gempol Regency). The testing in this study was carried out with multiple linear regression analysis, t hypothesis test and F test. With multiple linear regression analysis in this study, b1 = 0.273 results showed a positive influence between the variables of Apparatus Competence (X1) on Village Fund Management Accountability, b2 = 0.586 showed a positive influence between the variables of Organizational Commitment (X2) on Village Fund Management Accountability, b3 = 0.351 shows a positive influence between the variables Community Participation (X3) on Accountability of Village Fund Management, b4 = 0.233 shows a positive influence between the variables of Information Technology Utilization (X4) on Accountability of Village Fund Management, b5 = 0.421 shows a positive influence between the variables of Transparency Utilization (X5) on Accountability of Village Fund Management. As for partial hypothesis testing, the t test was used, obtained the calculated t value for the Apparatus Competency variable (X1) of 2.687, tcalculate for the Organizational Commitment variable (X2) of 2.411, tcalculate for the Community Participation variable (X3) of 2.620, tcalculate for the Information Technology Utilization variable (X4) of 2.181, tcalculate for the Transparency variable (X5) of 2.552, with ttable criteria of 1.998 used in the test Ini.
