It is our pleasure to see the second issue of the Journal of Scientific Research coming out in time. From the trend in the submission of manuscript it seems that the journal is acting as a catalyst for the advancement of science both within and outside the Asian region. Increased submissions from the world research community will eventually fulfill our mission and aim for the journal with its interdisciplinary nature to stand for the international scientific publishing standards.  I hope that the journal will soon be recognised by the much wider research community as their forum for the dissemination of knowledge.We continue to recognize that the success of a journal depends on the quality of authors, reviewers and the editorial board. All the people involved in bringing out the issue of the journal should deserve thanks for their indispensable participation. Special mention should be made of the reviewers who voluntarily contributed their valuable time to complete reviews within a reasonable time. I should also acknowledge the International Network for the availability of Scientific Publications (INASP) for helping us publish via BanglaJOL. A K M A Islam Editor-in-Chief email: [email protected] website: www.banglajol.info/index.php/JSR© 2009 JSR Publications.

Journal of Scientific Research EDITORIAL Do we need a new journal? The answer lies in the fact that currently no international journal (online and print) with interdisciplinary character which specifically caters to the academic needs of the international community operates from Bangladesh. This journal aims to fill this lacuna and to be a bridge for the scientists from the east and the west. This is the first issue of the Journal of Scientific Research (JSR). The idea of launching a journal that hopes to publish quality scientific works was planted in early 2008 during a science faculty meeting at Rajshahi University. Now it is our pleasure to see the idea blossom into the first issue of first volume (1 January 2009) that contains scientific work not only of Asian regions but of much beyond that. The inaugural issue indicates the type of journal we hope to become. It is wide ranging and interdisciplinary. Our contributors include scholars at every stage of their academic career. As regards editorial policy and scope the Journal of Scientific Research is a peer-reviewed international journal originally intended for publication annually. But due to a satisfactory flow of manuscripts since the first announcements the publication frequency has now been increased to 3 online issues (one print volume) per year.The journal is a unifying force, going across the barriers between disciplines, addressing all related topics and materials. An international Editorial Board (along with an Advisory Board) comprising of renowned academics from various fields guides our editorial policy and direction. The journal is devoted to the publication of original research (research paper, review paper, short communication) covering the following fields:Section A:  Physical and Mathematical Sciences: Physics, Mathematics, Statistics, Geophysics, Computer, Environmental Science, Communications and Information Technology, Engineering and related branches.Section B:  Chemical and Biological Sciences: Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmacy, Biology, Genetics, Fisheries and related branches.The articles selected for the first issue have been reviewed by two discipline-specialists, and their recommendations have been appropriately incorporated. Submissions from the world research community are encouraged to fulfill our mission and aim for the journal to stand for the international scientific publishing standards.    It was clear during the planning and development of this first issue that the Asian region needs a forum through which research could be shared and acknowledged. I hope that this journal will soon be recognised by the wider research community as their forum for the dissemination of knowledge. We hope that the journal will not simply act as a place for publication of material, though obviously this is important, but should act as a catalyst for the advancement of science both within and outside the region.The journal is being published both online and in print. Online publishing, unique in nature, is faster and far less expensive than traditional hard copy publishing. Access of online journals is easier and better images, storage and multimedia are other advantages. I must thank the International Network for the availability of Scientific Publications (INASP) for helping us publish via BanglaJOL – and the help of Ms. Sioux Cumming in this regard is worthy of mention.The success of a journal depends on the quality of its Editorial Board and the reviewers. The effort that I have seen from them speaks well for the future of the new born journal.  Both the Editorial and Advisory Boards should deserve thanks for their indispensable advice and support during the planning phases of the journal. I should also thank the reviewers who contributed their valuable time to complete reviews within a reasonable time. I truly hope that the diversity contained in this first issue of the journal will be the hallmark of future issues. A K M A Islam email: [email protected]  website: www.banglajol.info/index.php/JSR           © 2009 JSR Publications.

Urbanization in the South Asia Region (SAR) stood at 34% (2014) and is relatively sluggish when compared to that of the World at 54%. The World Urbanization Prospects (2014) and World Bank Report (2016) reveals that the future urbanization globally will be concentrated in Asia and predominantly in the select countries of SAR - Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. The chapter analyses the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the select countries, which are indicative of the quality of life of citizens, benchmarking it with that of Asia and the world. The analysis reveals the slow, messy and hidden nature of urbanization in the region which is required to be addressed. The conclusions recommend large investment and policy imperatives which should bring about sustainable urbanization ensuring basic urban services resulting in improved demographics, Human Development Indices and other socio-economic characteristics of the people in the region.

Mr President, Distinguished Delegates, Excellencies, Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen: Assalam-o-Alaikum. The Annual Conference of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists has traditionally provided the people of Pakistan—both practising economists and ordinary citizens—with a forum to debate in a rigorous analytical framework the major economic issues facing the country. In this context, the theme of the current conference “Growth, Poverty and Decentralisation” is particularly appropriate as Pakistan begins the 21st century. Many important issues will be discussed by the honourable participants during the Conference and an excellent start reflecting the quality of the debate has been made by the paper just presented by Dr Kemal. I, on my part, would like to take this opportunity to talk about Pakistan’s economy in an overall poverty elimination perspective and particularly the potential and challenges facing it in this regard. As a starting point, a summary of the potential of the Pakistan economy is in order. First, Pakistan is the home of the oldest and largest integrated land and water systems in the world. The world’s other old river basins—the Nile and the Tigris/Euphrates—have remained relatively minor, while Pakistan’s Indus Basin is still vital and robust. Last year, Pakistan’s record wheat crop again showed the world the potential of the Great Indus Food Machine.

The research landscape is changing at an alarming rate, it is now impossible to talk to any professional engaged in the research community without mentioning open data, big data, new search optimisation tools, or tools geared for the digital age. Without a doubt these developments and new tools are fostering change which is revolutionising the way researchers work, share their results and interact with colleagues across the crystallographic community. Publishers too are embracing the technology shift and evidence of this can be found in many new product launches which focus on new innovative open access models, tools for analysing and quantifying masses of data, right through to bringing experts from different research departments together to discuss common problems and hopefully find novel solutions. At the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) we have a wealth of current and historical data relevant to today's research arena in our 9 journals. What many researchers may not know however is we also have novel tools for writing and submitting articles, such as publBio and publCIF, communities such as the world directory of crystallographers and solutions such as the International Tables for Crystallography. All of these products, tools and services help our research community across a broad range of disciplines find answers they can trust in a timely manner. This presentation will explore some of the opportunities currently being explored to expand our crystallographic communities, and how we can share with and embrace other scientists employing crystallographic methods. The presentation will also look at how we can provide new and smarter products and services so we can truly reflect the interdisciplinary nature of crystallography in 2014 and beyond.

We believe that the visionary experience is the seed of genuine creation. This is the reason why in this article we explore the human ability to perceive reality in an extraordinary way. Through the first-person account of neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor that suffered a stroke, we discovered that the world might be revealed fluid, vibrant and bright. But above all, we rely on the concept of sensitivity, the ability to see beyond the sensible, that the neuropsychiatrist Shafica Karagulla investigated with scientific rigor. Sensitives are people who have natural gifts to see, colors, fields and energy vortexes, they capture greater wave spectrum, they modify as many vibrations, frames, interconnections and interactions and increased quantity and quality of phenomena. We make a special mention in the savants, sensitive people with amazing talents on one hand, which were often accompanied by dysfunction on the other hand.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementias (ADRD) are complex global health issues that require resources and commitments from around the world. The international research community continues to build upon knowledge and generate fresh ideas and strategies to move toward an effective therapy to treat, delay, or prevent ADRD. With accelerated momentum and more funding, the field is poised to hasten the discovery of interventions to stop, slow, or prevent disease progression, and improve care and quality of life for those affected.
