Growth mindset and academic resilience as predictors of academic engagement: A moderated mediation model

This study examines how growth mindset (GM) and academic resilience (AR) are related to academic engagement (AE) among university students in Bangladesh, with particular attention to the role of academic self-efficacy (ASE) as a mediator and learning climate (LC) as a moderator....

Testing the Inherited Lithospheric Weakness Hypothesis beneath the Bengal Basin: A Quantitative Test Design for Structural Control on Accommodation

This perspective converts a proposed inherited control on Bengal Basin accommodation into an age-neutral, falsifiable test. Boreholes and mine records constrain Paleoproterozoic basement domains and fault-bounded Permian depocentres on the Stable Shelf, whereas seismic, receiver-...

Design and in silico evaluation of PV-GNProtecta: an mRNA multi-epitope vaccine candidate against Puumala virus using immunoinformatics and structural analysis

Abstract Puumala virus (PUUV), the principal causative agent of nephropathia epidemica (NE), poses a significant public health threat due to its zoonotic transmission, renal complications, and the lack of an approved vaccine. In this study, an immunoinformatics-driven mRNA multi-...

Adapting to Technological Shifts: Evolving Skill Requirements for Journalists in Bangladesh

Media convergence theory suggests that digital platforms increasingly require journalists to work across multiple media formats rather than within specialised, single-medium roles. In the United States, Europe, and Latin America, digital competencies have complemented rather than...

Plastic litter pollution across recreational and non-recreational beaches of Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh

The world's longest unbroken natural sandy sea beach at Cox's Bazar is under constant threat from plastic litter pollution. However, the nature and extent of this pollution remain poorly quantified. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate plastic pollution patterns on ten recr...

A comparative study to investigate the influence of bridge pier shapes on the river current motion using CFD

Abstract The effects of bridge pier shape have a significant impact on hydrodynamic properties, such as drag coefficient and Reynolds number. The main objective of this study is to look into how the Reynolds number affects the drag coefficient in a bridge pier with different shap...

Factors affecting ChatGPT adoption among Bangladeshi university students with the moderating role of social influence

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into classrooms has revolutionized academic learning, presenting both opportunities and obstacles for learners’ advancement. The study aims to explore the factors of Extended technology acceptance model (TAM) by adding external vari...

Comparative evaluation of different sol–gel processed M-type barium hexaferrite on structural and antimicrobial efficacy

Barium hexaferrite has gained increasing attention for biomedical applications, including antimicrobial coatings and targeted drug delivery alongside its established use in magnetic solid-state devices. Therefore, understanding how synthesis routes influence its formation and bio...

Determinants of behavioral intentions to reduce single-use plastic among Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh using an extended theory of planned behavior model

Despite the growing recognition of single-use plastic (SUP) pollution as a substantial environmental challenge, there is limited understanding of the behavioral and socio-demographic factors influencing individuals’ intentions to reduce SUP usage, particularly in refugee populati...

Trade-offs in the food-climate nexus: Agricultural intensification, renewable energy, and the temporal asymmetry between food production and GHG emissions in Bangladesh

Agricultural intensification in developing economies creates a fundamental tension between food security and climate sustainability. Existing research has largely examined pesticides, fertilizer, and renewable energy separately, providing limited insight into how these inputs joi...

Impacts of Fermi Level Pinning at Hole‐Selective Contacts in CdSeTe/CdTe Solar Cells

ABSTRACT P‐type doped CdTe free surfaces, Schottky contacts, and even interfaces with isostructural p‐ZnTe frequently exhibit downward band bending and moderate to high recombination velocities. Fermi level pinning by donor‐like states can explain these band diagram features, as...

Prevalence of elevated blood pressure, elevated blood glucose, and cardiometabolic risk factors among rural adults in Chattogram Division, Bangladesh

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), particularly hypertension and diabetes, represent a growing public health challenge in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Comprehensive community-based data on cardiometabolic risk factors among rural adults in Chattogram Division, Banglad...

Whole-genome sequences of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from patients and inanimate hospital reservoirs in Chattogram, Bangladesh

(PA) is a critical concern for the global population. This study identified four isolates and reported the draft genomes annotated as ST645, ST2238, and the high-risk clone ST773. The isolates featured diverse antimicrobial resistance (AMR) gene profiles that emphasize the need f...

A YOLO enhanced deep learning model for efficient and scalable deepfake detection for real-time facial forgery recognition in digital media

Deep fake technology has significantly advanced the creation of synthetic images and videos, sparking widespread concerns about its potential misuse in spreading misinformation, violating privacy, and enabling identity theft. As these manipulations be-come increasingly sophistica...

Biomechanical Determinants of Elbow Varus Moment in Baseball Pitching: A Large-Scale Motion Capture Analysis

ABSTRACT Objective: Elbow varus moment is a risk factor for ulnar collateral ligament injury in baseball pitchers, yet how body mass, pitch speed, and age contribute to elbow loading remains understudied across levels. This study examined whether pitch speed, body mass, and age p...
