    Role of Gut Microbiome in Autism Spectrum Disorder and Its Therapeutic Regulation
    (Daffodil International University, 2022-07-18) Taniya, Masuma Afrin; Chung, Hea-Jong; Mamun, Abdullah Al; Alam, Safaet; Aziz, Md. Abdul; Emon, Nazim Uddin; Islam, Md. Minarul; Hong, Seong-T shool; Podder, Bristy Rani; Mimi, Anjuman Ara; Suchi, Suzia Aktar; Xiao, Jian
    Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological disorder that affects normal brain development. The recent finding of the microbiota–gut–brain axis indicates the bidirectional connection between our gut and brain, demonstrating that gut microbiota can influence many neurological disorders such as autism. Most autistic patients suffer from gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. Many studies have shown that early colonization, mode of delivery, and antibiotic usage significantly affect the gut microbiome and the onset of autism. Microbial fermentation of plant-based fiber can produce different types of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) that may have a beneficial or detrimental effect on the gut and neurological development of autistic patients. Several comprehensive studies of the gut microbiome and microbiota–gut–brain axis help to understand the mechanism that leads to the onset of neurological disorders and find possible treatments for autism. This review integrates the findings of recent years on the gut microbiota and ASD association, mainly focusing on the characterization of specific microbiota that leads to ASD and addressing potential therapeutic interventions to restore a healthy balance of gut microbiome composition that can treat autism-associated symptoms.

    Vulnerability of the Power Sector of Bangladesh to Climate Change and Extreme Weather Event
    (Daffodil International University, 22-08-13) Rana, Juwel; Islam, Md. Minarul
    The recently growing temperature and annual rainfall in Bangladesh and Season change is increasing day by day. Especially, during the hot summer premonsoon season, rising temperatures will raise peak power demand and overall power consumption, decrease the lifetime of transformers and power plants, and increase transmission loss. Increased disruptions in the production and distribution of electricity as well as increased infrastructure damage could result from increasingly frequent and severe extreme weather occurrences. During the dry season, the river water dries up, which can disrupt the production capacity of the power plant. Power stations in Bangladesh's coastal region may experience corrosion and leaks because of increased salinity in river water brought on by ocean height rise. The detrimental effects of climate change on Bangladesh's electricity sector can be mitigated via diversified, decentralized, and climate-resilient electricity system. Planning must take adaptation and mitigation measures into account.
