Summary: Bangladesh is facing a significant power crisis while its economy grows, making it crucial to investigate the expansion of renewable energy. This study focuses on the agricultural waste situation in rural areas of the Dinajpur District and proposes an integrated waste management system to meet energy policy targets. Through GIS analysis, optimal locations for biogas plants are identified, and the study evaluates biogas production to meet electricity demand. The findings support the goal of achieving a clean and sustainable energy system in Bangladesh.

Summary: Characterization of smallholder land resource endowment and cropping practice can assist in the implementation of Soil Carbon Management (SCM). This study identified three different farming system types based on land resource and cropping practice data from farmers in Bangladesh. The study also assessed the potential for improving soil carbon in these systems.

Summary: This research paper examines the morphological transformation of the historic urban quarters adjacent to Maldah Patti in Dinajpur and provides guidelines for maintaining architectural continuity in new constructions. The study identifies factors contributing to architectural degradation and recommends measures to achieve architectural continuity, such as balancing historical continuity and socio-economic development, designing elements to evoke historical ambience, and paying attention to detail.

Summary: Due to the combined effect of biotic and abiotic constraints, Bangladesh has adopted heavily subsidized and intensified fertilizer policies to enhance crop productivity and food security. However, this has raised questions about the unbalanced amount of fertilizer application and the need for further research and improvement in this area. This study investigates the factors influencing farmers' adoption decisions of recommended fertilizer doses and suggests policy interventions to address the issues.

Summary: Efforts to develop a syphilis vaccine have been ongoing for nearly a century, but significant progress has yet to be made. In recent years, however, advances in understanding the outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of the syphilis pathogen have led to increased efforts in vaccine development. While current vaccine formulations have shown partial protection in animal models, there are still important knowledge gaps to be addressed.

Summary: Lake Victoria experienced severe degradation of water quality, with a shift in phytoplankton dominance, but the physical and ecological conditions in 2018-2019 showed improvements such as lower chlorophyll-a concentrations and the reappearance of certain phytoplankton taxa.

Summary: This study explored the optimal k-fold cross-validation method for building artificial neural networks with a small water quality dataset, and evaluated its effectiveness in modeling Chlorophyll-a levels through sensitivity analysis. The leave-one-out cross-validation was recommended for improved computational efficiency.

Summary: This article examines how notes may interrupt learning function and suggests that such activities have educational value by presenting the potentiality for thinking and acting without forcing it into measurable forms. The focus is on the notes themselves and the notational effects they generate.

Summary: Limnological aspects of Amazon floodplain lakes are examined in the context of aquatic conservation, with a focus on understanding current variations and threats to ecological health. Studies have shown that the lakes are naturally variable and face direct threats from mining activities, mercury contamination, methylation, and deforestation. The cumulative responses to changes in catchments and inundation have major implications for the ecology of floodplain lakes, requiring expanded research and community-based management for conservation efforts.

Summary: The objective of this paper is to study the relative homological properties of contravariantly and covariantly finite subcategories. Some sufficient conditions for Ext over bar YnA,B & SIME;Ext over bar XnA,B are obtained. The conditions under which the stable categories C/W/X/W are one-side triangulated categories are also given.

Summary: This paper investigates the existence of ?-Einstein solitons in Para-Kenmotsu manifolds. Necessary conditions for such manifolds to be Einstein are given, and it is proven that if a para-Kenmotsu manifold E admits an ?-Einstein soliton, then E is an Einstein manifold. Furthermore, noteworthy characterizations that classify para-Kenmotsu manifolds admitting such solitons are obtained.
