A study on sexual dimorphism in fingerprint ridge density among medical students of Nellore south coastal district of Andhra Pradesh

Fingerprints are unique, and each fingerprint of an individual differs from another. Studies were conducted to know how various factors like Race, Sex, and certain disorders influence fingerprint patterns. Similary, the number of ridges present in an area of palms and fingers and their variations were also studied. To study the sexual variations in fingerprint ridge density among medical students studying in Narayana Medical college from Andhra Pradesh. Fingerprints of one hundred and twenty medical students (sixty male and sixty female) were analyzed for this study. The mean ridge density in males is 128.5 (Range 124 -134) for ten digits, and in females, the mean ridge density for ten fingers is 148. 67 and (Range 145 -153). Average ridge density for 0.25sq.cm. in Male:Female is 12.85:14.86. The females exhibit higher ridge density than males; ridge density of more than 14 ridges of a finger in a 0.25 sq. mm area indicates that the finger likely belongs to a female.

Studi Daya Tahan Aerobik Siswa Sekolah Menengah Pertama

The problem in this research is unknown aerobic endurance students of SMP Negeri 2 Painan South Coastal District. In accordance with these problems, then the purpose of this study was to determine the aerobic endurance students of SMP Negeri 2 Painan South Coastal District. This kind of research is descriptive. The population in this study are all students of SMP Negeri 2 Painan South Coastal District numbered as many as 151 people. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. Thus the sample in this study amounted to as many as 43 people. To obtain the data to judge the aerobic endurance. Data were analyzed using percentages. The research result found that: (1) female students, none of the 26 students who have a good aerobic endurance categories at all, 8 people both categories, 13 categories and 5 categories were less so. This means that most of the male students sampled not good aerobic endurance. (2) Male students, of 17 students found each two students have aerobic endurance excellent and good categories, 9 and 4 categories were less category. This means that many female students as well who do not have a good aerobic endurance.

Study on groundwater recharge assessment by rainfall in coastal district Thai Thuy, Thai Binh province

Groundwater always plays a vital role in socio-economic development. One of the components of groundwater resource potential is the recharge from rainfall and surface water. The paper presents finite element modeling in the moisture transfer simulation in unsaturated soils through the relationship between soil moisture, soil suction, unsaturated permeability, and moisture dispersion coefficient. Parameters required for moisture transfer in four subsurface soil types have been collected and analyzed: Saturated permeability, porosity and field moisture content. Hourly rainfall data of 2015 have been studied and grouped into different rainfall duration (1-hour, 2-hour,... 36-hour continuous rainfall). The different duration rainfall and temporal infiltration determined by the moisture transfer modeling allow calculating the groundwater recharge from the downpour. We had applied the methodology to coastal district Thai Thuy, Thai Binh province. The results show that during the rainy months from June to October 2015, the groundwater recharge from the rainfall is: Through silty clay 0.233 m, through silt 0.338 m, through sandy silt 0.374 and through silty sands 0.561 m. The rainfall recharge to groundwater through those four soil types in terms of percentage of total 2015 rainfall respectively is 12.85%, 18.65%, 20.63% and 30.95%. The methodology may be applied to other areas with an advantage in the minimal expense of budget and time and relatively high reliable results.

Floristic composition of the coastal district Satkhira, Bangladesh

This study presents elementary taxonomic data on the composition of vascular flora in the disaster prone coastal district Satkhira of Bangladesh. The results of this study show that this district houses 664 species under 468 genera and 133 families of vascular plants. The Pteridophytes and Gymnosperms are represented by 21 and five species, whereas, the Magnoliopsida (dicotyledons) and Liliopsida (monocotyledons) of Angiosperms by 494 and 144 species, respectively. About 59.64% of these species are herbs, 15.96% shrubs, 21.69% trees, 2.26% palms and 0.45% bamboos. Total 73.04% of the species are wild, 19.88% planted and 7.08% cultivated. In this area, Fabaceae with 31 species is the largest family, followed by Asteraceae with 27 species, Apocynaceae with 26 species and Malvaceae with 25 and Acanthaceae with 22 species. Ficus with seven species is recorded as the largest genus, which is followed by Solanum, Hygrophila, Euphorbia, Senna, Phyllanthus, Ipomoea, Hibiscus and Alternanthera. Most of the species are found in fallow lands, roadsides, woodlands, homesteads and scrub jungles and useful as medicine, ornamental, fibre, fruit, livestock feed, soil binder and timber. The floristic composition of this district is still rich, though most of its habitats and ecosystems are vulnerable to natural disasters. Effective conservation plan and measures should be adopted for the precious flora of this coastal district. Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 28(1): 97-124, 2021 (June)

Socioeconomic Status Changes of the Host Communities after the Rohingya Refugee Influx in the Southern Coastal Area of Bangladesh

The refugee influx from Myanmar, known as Rohingya refugees, is a serious concern for global refugee issues. Bangladesh currently hosts one million Rohingya refugees in the coastal district of Cox’s Bazar. Considering the number of the refugees, in addition to the humanitarian concerns, they are also creating pressure on the local host communities. This study explored the socioeconomic changes of the host communities after the refugee influx. In order to fulfill this study’s objectives, 35 villages near the Rohingya refugee camps from the coastal district of Bangladesh were surveyed. In the villages, 10% of households were surveyed in 2016 and also in 2020, covering 1924 and 2265 households, respectively. A temporal comparison of the host community’s socioeconomic status between 2016 and 2020 was conducted in order to determine the changes after the recent refugee influx. This study found that the local community’s socioeconomic status degraded. The annual income decreased by 24%, which is unusual for a country with over 6% gross domestic product (GDP) growth in recent times. The income decreased from all livelihood options except farming, which could be related to the availability of cheap labor and the high demand for commodities. The villages were clustered using k-means, and 20 villages were found to be affected after the refugee influx with degraded socioeconomic status. The host community’s general perception was initially positive, but later turned negative toward the refugees. This study will be important for the government and donor agencies to develop strategies to properly manage the refugee camps and adjacent host communities.
