Factors influencing social confidence in relation to dental appearance among university students in Bangladesh

Dental appearance may have a significant impact on individuals' self-image and confidence when interacting with others in different social contexts. Hence, the relationship between several psychosocial factors and social confidence among university students in Bangladesh was exam...

Optimized Thermal Dissipation of ISO SNGA 120408 Carbide Tool by Tuning Parameters: A Numerical Study

ABSTRACT In metal cutting, excessive heat generation adversely impacts tool life, dimensional accuracy, and the metallurgical properties of the workpiece, highlighting the necessity for thermal management of the cutting insert. This study numerically investigates key thermal mana...

To release or not to release? Understanding sawfish release behavior in a global south complex fishery

Abstract What socio‐economic, cultural, subjective, or institutional factors might motivate a socially marginalized, economically constrained fisher to voluntarily release a highly valuable catch such as a sawfish? This study looked at fishers' attitudes (ability, willingness, an...

Designing an mRNA vaccine encoding multi-epitopes to combat Pipistrellus bat coronavirus BtHKU5-CoV-2 based on consensus sequence using an immunoinformatics approach

The bat-derived Pipistrellus bat coronavirus BtHKU5-CoV-2, a merbecovirus lineage, is an emerging zoonotic risk due to its ability to utilize human ACE2 receptors and ongoing spike protein recombination events that enhance cross-species transmission potential. At the moment no au...

Delineating season-specific hotspots: A spatio-temporal risk assessment of neck blast disease in rainfed and irrigated ecosystems of Cumilla District, Bangladesh

Rice blast disease, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae , is a major and foremost constraint to rice production in Bangladesh which threaten the food security and farmer livelihoods. This study delineates season-specific hotspots of the devastating rice Neck Blast Disease (NBD) across r...

Prevalence and associated factors of skilled birth attendants in Bangladesh: A combined statistical and machine learning analysis

Background Bangladesh has achieved notable progress in maternal and child health; however, maternal and neonatal mortality remain high, partly due to inadequate access to skilled birth attendants (SBA) during delivery. This study aims to identify key socioeconomic and demographic...

Re-emergence and outbreak dynamics of measles in Bangladesh and trends across South Asia

Measles remains an important vaccine-preventable disease, and recent outbreaks have raised concerns about persistent immunity gaps following disruptions to routine immunization. This study describes the early 2026 measles outbreak in Bangladesh and contextualizes the epidemiologi...

Towards Sustainable Recovery of Phenolics, Proteins, and Arabinoxylans from Brewer’s Spent Grain Through Deep Eutectic Solvents: Extraction Strategies, Structure–Function Relationships, and Food Biorefinery Perspective

Brewer’s spent grain (BSG) is the primary by-product of the brewing industry and a low-cost lignocellulosic resource rich in phenolics, proteins, and arabinoxylans (AXs). Conventional recovery methods using acids, alkalis, and organic solvents often involve energy-intensive proce...
