A year round study was carried out to investigate the etiology, clinical signs, postmortem lesions and occurrence of naturally occurring enterotoxaemia in Black Bengal goats. Sixteen goats of different age and sex died in different seasons with sigh associated with enterotoxaemia made the materials of this study. Accidental access to large amount of concentrate was noted as one of the predisposing factors although few cases were reported to occur without known diet change. Younger animals(50%) and males(62.50%) were found more prone to the disease and it was likely to be more prevalent during winter(50%) followed by at rainy season(31.25%) and summer(18.75%). Diarrhoea(81.25%), dullness(56.25%), drooping of the ears(50%), anorexia(43.75%) were recorded as major clinical signs whereas enterocolitis(100%), lung edema(87.50%), fluid filled intestines(87.50%), enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes(56.52%) etc. were most common post mortem lesions found. A few cases showed lesions on heart(31.25%), brain(25%) and/or liver/spleen(18.75%) but no lesion was found on kidney. Thus the so called 'pulpy kidney' lesion was absent. Intestinal contents were subjected to conventional bacteriological culture based methods to identify the causal agents. Based on the morphological, cultural and biochemical properties the causal agent was identified as Clostridium perfringens. Despite the study was carried out at certain area it showed a clear picture of goat enterotoxaemia in terms of etiology, clinical signs, postmortem lesions and occurrence of goat enterotoxaemia in Bangladesh.

The Causes of Deforestation and Loss of Genetic Resources in Bangladesh

Islam, Mohammad Saiful,Islam, Mohammad Jahidul,Ahmed, Sheikh Ali,Chun, Su-Kyoung,Chong, Song-Ho,Kim, Jong-In Korea Furniture Society 2007 한국가구학회지 Vol.18 No.4

Almost all the people, particularly the rural people are directly dependent on the continued productivity of natural resources, like water, soils, forests and fisheries. But the overuse by the extremely high population pressures has degraded the natural resources into severe widespread deforestation. The degradation of natural resources, particularly the plant resources has been a great concern for socio-economic and sustainable development of the country. The Forests in Bangladesh have been depleted and degraded in volume, area, and quantity, thus requiring urgent forest protection by identifying the causes of forest loss. There are so many causes of deforestation and loss of genetic resources such as; the timber industry, which, legal or not, are cutting too many trees; indigenous forest dwellers, having their own types of problems; migrants, who, because of problems in their places of origin, have decided to move to the forests and the government through its Forest Department which is not able or willing to implement suitable policies to regulate the cutting trees and to prevent illegal cutting. Because it is a time consuming task to mitigate the first and second sets of factors, we recommend involving forest dwellers in forestry practices as much as possible and taking necessary steps to alleviate the third and fourth sets and thereby reduce the rate of forest depletion. Accordingly, a number of strategies that should be adopted to halt the loss of remaining forest cover are discussed.

Saiful Islam 피터드러커 소사이어티 2012 창조와 혁신 Vol.5 No.1

Indonesia recently is on going conducting next step of her financial management reform. Two initiative strategies are performed. Firstly, reformprogramon state treasury and budget whose primary product is Financial Management Information System, called SPAN system. Second, reformon accounting and reporting system, which intended to move from cash toward accrual basis to full accrual basis. Analogous with DBAS systemin Korea which supports accrual accounting practice in government, SPAN systemalso aimed at succeeding in accrual basis practice.Fourchallengeswereencounteredwhenintroducingaccrualaccountingbasis: conceptual framework, consolidation,automation,andcompetenceongovernment accounting practice. Indonesia and Korea have many similarities with regard to the transformation of their accounting system to accruals. Both countries reformed their accounting systems in need of acquiring comprehensive and accurate information to improve their financial management. Both countries utilized the developed ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in implementing accounting business. Referring to Korean experience, the study suggests that there need to develop accrual accounting system gradually, instead of completing everything in the near future. To sustain the new accounting system program in Indonesia and to face the challenges, some recommendations are suggested as follows: both reform teams collaborate to design accounting policy and accounting system as a framework to design a new Chart of Account and journal mapping table, SPAN system design enable to connect with her peer local government financial system to anticipate further consolidation needs, and empowering local treasury offices which has intimate relation with all the spending units to train their officers on newaccounting system.

공공지출관리는 정책성과를 얻기 위해 실체법 규범, 효율성, 다양한 법제도의 정비관리 의 합 의를 통한 예산결정 등과 관련하여 새로운 접근방식이 필요하게 되었다. 1998년 발생한 금융위기 이후 한국과 인도네시아는 경제회복을 위해 재정개혁을 시도하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 한국과 인도네시아의 재정개혁을 면밀히 검토하고 공통점과 차이점을 밝혀내는데 있다. 10년간 두 나라의 재정개혁은 체계 등 유사점이 있는 반면 법적 체계, 재정적 기능개발, 리더십과 의회와 회계감사 이사회에 미치는 영향력에 있어서는 차이점을 보인다. 또한 이 연구는 과거 개혁의 다음 단계로써 인도네시아의 더 나은 예산개혁을 위한 함의를 제안하고 있다. Public Expenditure Management (PEM) in regards to procedural rules, substantive norms, efficiency, and a broad range of institutional and management arrangements while achieving desired policy outcomes brings about a new approach while budget decisions are being made regularly. After the financial crisis that occurred in 1998 hit Korea and Indonesia, both countries attempted to bring about national economy recovery by promoting multiple reform agendas including a public financial management reform. The aim of this study is to examine the reform agenda on the public finance sector both in Korea and Indonesia and to investigate their similarities and difference. Vulnerability as an impact of the 1998’s financial crisis in Korea requires a series of major reform initiatives encompassing the labor, corporation, finances, and the public sectors. The public financial management reform plays a major role in the financial and public sector reform agenda. By considering the setting background and identified weaknesses area, the public finance management reform in Indonesia is aimed to realize good governance and clean government, particularly on the managing public finance as a starting point to conduct a public sector reform. On their public financial management reform that was performed in the same decade, both countries have similarities on major driven, reform framework, major agenda, and major actors. However, their differences appear on legal arrangements, treasury function developments, leadership roles, and the reforms impact to the parliament and the board of supreme audit. Finally, the study suggests the implication for further budget reforms in Indonesia as a next work to perfecting previous reform results.

Potential use of local waste scoria as an aggregate and SWOT analysis for constructing structural lightweight concrete

Islam, A.B.M. Saiful,Walid, Walid,Al-Kutti, A.,Nasir, Muhammad,Kazmi, Zaheer Abbas,Sodangi, Mahmoud Techno-Press 2022 Advances in materials research Vol.11 No.2

This study aims to investigate the influence of scoria aggregate (SA) and silica fume (SF) as a replacement of conventional aggregate and ordinary Portland cement (OPC), respectively. Three types of concrete were prepared namely normal weight concrete (NWC) using limestone aggregate (LSA) and OPC (control specimen), lightweight concrete (LWC) using SA and OPC, and LWC using SA and partial SF (SLWC). The representative workability and compressive strength properties of the developed concrete were evaluated, and the results were correlated with non-destructive ultrasonic pulse velocity and Schmidt hammer tests. The LWC and SLWC yielded compressive strength of around 30 MPa and 33 MPa (i.e., 78-86% of control specimens), respectively. The findings indicate that scoria can be beneficially utilized in the development of structural lightweight concrete. Present renewable sources of aggregate will preserve the natural resources for next generation. The newly produced eco-friendly construction material is intended to break price barriers in all markets and draw attraction of incorporating scoria based light weight construction in Saudi Arabia and GCC countries. Findings of the SWOT analysis indicate that high logistics costs for distributing the aggregates across different regions in Saudi Arabia and clients' resistant to change are among the major obstacles to the commercialized production and utilization of lightweight concrete as green construction material. The findings further revealed that huge scoria deposits in Saudi Arabia, and the potential decrease in density self-weight of structural elements are the major drivers and enablers for promoting the adoption of lightweight concrete as alternative green construction material in the construction sector.

Dynamic characteristics and fatigue damage prediction of FRP strengthened marine riser

Islam, A.B.M. Saiful Techno-Press 2018 Ocean systems engineering Vol.8 No.1

Due to the escalation in hydrocarbon consumption, the offshore industry is now looking for advanced technology to be employed for deep sea exploration. Riser system is an integral part of floating structure used for such oil and gas extraction from deep water offering a system of drill twines and production tubing to spread the exploration well towards the ocean bed. Thus, the marine risers need to be precisely employed. The incorporation of the strengthening material, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) for deep and ultra-deep water riser has drawn extensive curiosity in offshore engineering as it might offer potential weight savings and improved durability. The design for FRP strengthening involves the local design for critical loads along with the global analysis under all possible nonlinearities and imposed loadings such as platform motion, gravity, buoyancy, wave force, hydrostatic pressure, current etc. for computing and evaluating critical situations. Finite element package, ABAQUS/AQUA is the competent tool to analyze the static and dynamic responses under the offshore hydrodynamic loads. The necessities in design and operating conditions are studied. The study includes describing the methodology, procedure of analysis and the local design of composite riser. The responses and fatigue damage characteristics of the risers are explored for the effects of FRP strengthening. A detail assessment on the technical expansion of strengthening riser has been outlined comprising the inquiry on its behavior. The enquiry exemplifies the strengthening of riser as very potential idea and suitable in marine structures to explore oil and gas in deep sea.
