Abstract

In Bangladesh, vermicomposting has been a popular environmentally friendly composting technique, primarily at small-scale levels. However, few studies have explored the feasibility of medium to large-scale operations. This study establishes a medium-scale vermicompost fertilizer plant in Kushtia, Bangladesh, processing 30 tons of waste monthly to produce 10 tons of fertilizer. Utilizing cow dung from nearby dairy farms and 0.1 million red worms (Eisenia foetida), the experiment runs for three cycles of 120 days each without indoor environmental controls. Over a year, the worm population quadruples to over 0.4 million. Lab tests confirm the fertilizer's pH level (7.69) and nutrient ratios (e.g., 1.792% nitrogen, 0.5217% phosphorus, and 1.514% potassium). The paper includes a cost-benefit analysis, suggesting the viability of such medium-scale setups for green farming in rural Bangladesh.

Abstract

PRAN, situated in Natore, Bangladesh, operates a sizable fruit processing facility. This facility processes approximately two hundred seasonal foods and fruit varieties, generating substantial organic waste. The overarching goal is to establish an organic food chain for both the national and international markets, thereby contributing to the mitigation of Bangladesh's emerging energy and fertilizer crisis. The vermicomposting method was employed, and the experiment was conducted on a miniature scale over 90 days. A dedicated setup was constructed to yield three metric tons of monthly fertilizer. Upon completion of the experiment, the output fertilizer underwent rigorous testing in the laboratory. The results indicated that the component ratios were well-suited for application in agricultural lands. This research marks a significant step towards sustainable waste management and the development of a valuable resource for the agricultural sector in the region.

Abstract

The maternal mortality rate (MMR) will be 70 per 100,000 live births in 2030. The maternal mortality rate (MMR) in the world is 303,000 people. The maternal mortality rate (MMR) according to WHO is 295,000 per 100,000 live births, women dying during pregnancy and childbirth in 2017. This number is still relatively high, one of the causes of maternal death in the world, namely bleeding during childbirth. The research design used is descriptive research. The population in the study was 30 respondents with a sample of 30 respondents taken using total sampling techniques. There is a significant relationship between the knowledge of pregnant women and preparation for childbirth, with a p-value (0.000 < 0.005) and there is a relationship between the attitude of pregnant women and preparation for childbirth with a p-value (0.001 < 0.005). It is hoped that health workers can provide counseling about preparation for childbirth to pregnant women when carrying out Ante Natal Care (ANC) at PMB.
