Forensic medicine deals with the application of medicine for the purpose of law. It is now commonly used to describe all aspects of forensic caseworks; including forensic pathology, that branch of forensic medicine which investigates death, and clinical forensic medicine, which involves interaction between the law, judiciary and the police involving (generally) living persons. The medico legal investigation system in our country still lags far behind the developed countries. The doctors doing the medico legal and post-mortem work at the district level hospitals are often untrained in this sensitive job. It is a job of great responsibility and to leave it to inexperienced doctors is actually doing injustice to the society. Forensic experts handle a very small part of total medico-legal work as most of them work in private medical colleges which are not permitted to handle the work. Mortuaries are housed in outdated facilities. Exposure to the medical students on medico legal cases including autopsy is done only on a sporadic basis taking them to nearby government hospitals and even if they visit the hospitals, inadequate infrastructure prevents better learning. Private medical colleges are conducting postgraduate course in forensic medicine without handling medico legal cases. There should be a post of forensic medicine specialist, at least at the zonal hospitals and the district hospitals handling more medico legal cases. The private medical colleges, especially those enrolling postgraduate students in the field, must seek permission to conduct medico legal works and the government also should not be reluctant in permitting so as it’s not producing adequate experts in itself as per the need of the country.

In this paper the remnants of British medical jurisprudence, the medico legal service of Bangladesh were discussed to improve the current medico legal practice and to propose future plan. In Bangladesh, all unnatural deaths are to be reported at the nearest police station and an appointed police officer should visit the scene of occurrence for investigation and to arrange postmortem if required. The forensic services of the country are delivered partly by academic staffs of government medical colleges' forensic medicine department and rest by the civil surgeons - the district health administrator. The civil surgeons perform postmortem by the doctors under him in district hospitals, most of them have no forensic qualifications. Currently academic and professional postgraduate courses are available. The chemical examiner's laboratory is situated at Dhaka with the facility of quantitative tests only. The Government of Bangladesh is trying to standardize the existing system. A workshop on medico legal service was organized recently at Dhaka by the Medico Legal Society of Bangladesh. A DNA profiling laboratory was established at Dhaka Medical College Forensic Medicine Department. Such progress is a milestone in the development of medico legal service in Bangladesh. However, with a few exceptions teaching and training facilities are still lacking. Key words: Forensic; Bangladesh Perspective. DOI: 10.3329/jdmc.v19i1.6255 J Dhaka Med. Coll. 2010; 19(1) : 61-64.

The development of Russian foreign trade during the previous five years is analyzed. It is stated that, in terms of value, exports of services and imports of goods and services steadily grew during the first four years of the period under review. Exports of goods also rose during three years, but in 2014 both exports and imports again fell in comparison with the previous year as was the case five years ago. The composition of the Russian exports and imports of goods did not change radically during the previous years. The main items of export are, as always, mineral products, metals and fertilizers. Import is prevailed by foodstuffs, chemicals and heavy engineering equipment. The current situation is featured by the reduction of world oil prices, slump of the domestic economy and war of sanctions with the Western countries. All this substantially impairs the conditions of Russia’s foreign trade activities and inhibits its development in the upcoming years. In the author’s view, the implementation of measures worked out by the government – correction of tariff liabilities before the WTO, redirecting of trade streams from the European to the Asian markets, import substitution and export support – will unlikely improve the situation. Revision of the liabilities before the WTO in the conditions of the decrease of the internal demand and serious devaluation of Ruble is considered as inappropriate and counterproductive. “Asiatic turn” is only capable to compensate to a certain respect the loss of supplies of some food products from Europe, but cannot fully offset the loss of potentialities of the acquisition of modern technologies and equipment from the developed countries. It is doubtful that it will be possible to dramatically cut the import dependence. It is necessary to replace many kinds of foreign goods, but it is impossible to implement a frontal substitution of import in all directions. Excessive stress on the import substitution might lead to the emergence of shortages and poorer availability of some goods at the internal market and, at the worst, to self-isolation and economic autarky. The attempts to build up an effective system of export support might be successful only in the conditions of the establishment of the large-scale production of goods and services which would be comparable with the foreign analogues in respect to the criteria of price and quality. Taking this into consideration the technological renovation of production processes, first of all in the manufacturing industry, and on this basis rising up of the competitiveness of plants and factories are the most important prerequisites for encouraging export activities and formation of the new export specialization of the country.

The global economic crisis first started in the USA in September 2008 as a widespread insolvency problem caused by mortgage debts of households that had become unpayable. The financial crisis, in turn, caused a serious recession. The economic crisis soon spread to other developed countries because their banks held assets of US banks that had become nearly worthless while exports of these countries to the USA decreased significantly. Then it spread to developing countries because direct private investments (DPIs) and financial funds flowing from developed to developing countries declined precipitously while exports of the latter to the former countries also fell down. The developed countries, however, took proper steps to ameliorate the crisis by lowering the interest rates, helping the insolvent banks financially as wel as launching public expenditure programmes. Turkey was one of the worst hit countries because she had been following wrong globalization strategies. Privatization process was corrupt while much of the DPIs went to those fields which did not yield much increase in employment or export potential. But most importantly, Turkey had raised interest rates to abnormally high levels and thereby had vastly expanded her internal and external debts. Hence, as a result of the global economic crises, Turkey suffered a significantly deep fall in her GNP growth rate and a very big increase in her unemployment rate. Though Turkey took several measures to ameliorate the balance of payments deficit and to expand total demand, hence production, the government refrained from making a stand-by agreement with the IMF in order to avoid strict discipline in her government expenditures due to first, local elections and presently, the coming parliamentary elections.

Economic interdependence among nations of the world has become important and enormously complex. Foreign capital and aid is an important form of economic interdependence because they are the main components of capital formation especially for the developing nation. A significant amount of foreign capital and aid which has amounted to around $30 billion of the worlds gross domestic product, grows at an annual rate of 15 percent (higher than the economic growth rate of certain nation). Multinational corporations in search for profits in the developing nation undertake inflow and outflow of foreign capital in the form of foreign direct investment, skills and technology. This creates internal economies of scale for the parent company and external economies of scale for its subsidiaries. Overwhelming performance of foreign capital can also create external diseconomies of scale known as stunting effects for the developing nation. The government of the developed countries for political and humanitarian reasons also offers foreign aid. Foreign aid should be paired well with the stages of the economic development of a country to create increasing returns. This paper provides a critical analysis of growth in relation to foreign capital and aid in Malaysia. The analysis is divided into two sections. The first section looks at foreign capital and aid as an independent variable while the second section looks at foreign capital and aid as the dependent variable. Foreign capital is found to be positively correlated to economic growth and it is also highly significant compared to foreign aid which has no positive correlation and hardly contributes to Malaysias economic growth. Finally some policy options are recommended to improve the economic growth in Malaysia.

The Impact

Around the world even the developed countries are stunned by this pandemic causing extensive pain. India is no exception and the Government has imposed a nation – wide lockdown to help restrain the virus. At the onset of the pandemic, medical students in the midst of the session were suddenly pulled out of their studies and same for 3rd and 4th years medical students clerkships were abruptly pulled out of clinical care. Faculty scrambled to adjust learning experiences by switching to online cases and remote activities to prepare students for required exams and to build clinical reasoning skills without the face to face patient encounter. In such a situation, where educational institutions across the country have been closed, both teaching and learning have affected millions of students. As per the orders from the.Government, Universities the colleges have started offering online classes to students. The objective of these online classes is to make sure that students do not lose out on any teaching and learning activities during the lockdown. This paper examines the impact of lockdown on students of medical institutions, the challenges they are facing due to lockdown.

Privatization is something that can take the ownership factor from state and give it to other and since form 1990’s it has turned out to be a most important for both the developing countries as well as for the developed countries. However, in this study we identify the determinants that can lead the government of Pakistan towards privatization by relying on the data that has been taken from privatization commission of Pakistan (PCP) and state bank of Pakistan database between the years 1991 to 2014. Our results identify that the decision for privatization has been initiated by external factor i.e international financing agencies and after that it has been shaped by internal factors that is basically due to economic condition.

The overview of the country’s trade with all the continents during the period of 2000-2019 is given. The description of the commodity structure of exports/imports of goods, with particular attention to the industrial products, is followed by the detailed analysis of Ukraine’s foreign trade in 2020. The decrease in Ukraine’s foreign trade in 2020 by 6.4% is fully consistent with the projected WTO reduction of world trade in 2020 by 9.2%. Although COVID-19 had negative impact on Ukraine’s trade with the EU and the EAEU, it contributed to closer trade ties with Asia, improving Ukraine’s trade balance. The government and the national business elite should aim at solving the problems of increasing the volume and improving the commodity structure of Ukraine’s foreign trade with emphasis on the development of transport system for exporting agricultural and food products to the developed countries of the West and to the prospective economies of the East and the South. It is essential, on the one hand, to focus on the inflows of FDI and their appropriate use, and, on the other hand, on Ukraine’s participation in the formation of GVCs, global production networks. In the conditions of the Fourth industrial revolution, the economy finds itself transformed due to the fundamental changes. The optimization of foreign trade relations of Ukraine will not only improve the economy, but also enable the country to become a better functioning element of the global economic system.

Entrepreneurship has been a male-dominated phenomenon from the very early age, but time has changed the situation and brought women as today's most memorable and inspirational entrepreneurs. In almost all the developed countries in the world women are putting their steps at par with the men to increase the productivity of their society. This study has been done purposely to show the contribution of women in country development starting from them towards surroundings in Kanjongo sector of Nyamasheke district, Western province of Rwanda. The socioeconomic contribution of women in community development has been assessed using interview; the economic benefits analysis has been conducted to compare the women entrepreneurs’ status before and after being engaged in entrepreneurial activity. The results indicated that 37.21% of women contributed to the payment of health insurance for themselves and families while they were only 15.12% before. The capacity of paying school fees for their children has increased from 12.79% to 24.42%. The capacity of saving above 50,000 Frw has grown up from 27.91% to 62.8%. Their tax payment capability was raised from 19.77% to 100% as well as the capacity of having domestic animal which has risen from 27.91% to 100%. The construction of houses, job creation and food security also were known as fields where women used their earnings. Women entrepreneurs revealed challenges of lacking experience and skills at a level of 47.67%.  These findings show that women entrepreneurs should be more sensitized on the importance of taking entrepreneurships initiatives and the government should organize short and long trainings to women to enhance their entrepreneurships skills and sustain their businesses.
