A Novel Analytical Method Development of Esomeprazole Pellet
(Daffodil International University, 2024-01-22) Sarker, Md. Shah Newaj
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), also called gastric medicine, are among the most frequently prescribed medications globally. Medications such as Esomeprazole, Omeprazole, Pantoprazole, and others have nearly become ubiquitous in Bangladesh. Although available in various forms on the market, capsules (pellets) are the most prevalent. Analyzing pharmaceuticals is laborious because only a limited number of pharmaceutical companies produce them internally; the rest purchase granules that have been filled into capsule shells and sold. Thus, only a few in-house methods exist to facilitate the analytical process. The majority of them rely on pharmacopoeial methods such as BP and USP. Although these techniques are widely used, they may only apply to some pharmaceuticals. Therefore, this study is preoccupied with developing a novel technique to facilitate the analysis of PPI pellets. It is a finished product for a company that has only sold granules; it is a raw material for a purchaser. The analytical technique can, therefore, be identical for both. For an analyst to analyze these PPI granules, an effective method for both the primary material and the final product must exist. This analysis uses High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), the most effective method for separating and identifying mixtures of various components. In addition, distinct reagent and chromatographic conditions are implemented, given that this is a novel methodology. The ultimate findings exhibit encouraging results. This approach reduces both time and analysis costs, albeit with minor drawbacks. Esomeprazole, PPI, particle analysis, HPLC, and the development of analytical methods are all keywords

This study explores the role of NGOs (Non-Governmental Organization) in the poverty reduction of southern Somalia. In today’s world, three billion people live below US$2 per day. Among them, one and half billion people live under US$1 per day. About 70-90 percent of the world’s largest unwashed population in the developing world are poor and the country Somalia is one of them. Therefore, a study needs to be conducted to investigate the role of NGOs in poverty reduction. The theoretical background of NGOs, a detailed understanding of the term microfinance, food security, livelihood and education was clarified for conceptual understanding. It was found with supportive reference how the NGOs of the country are playing a positive and essential role for the improvement of the poor and the needy. The mission and activities of NGOs revealed the fact that the NGOs are universal multifaceted and multidimensional projects aimed at providing education, empowerment of women etc. Over the years, people have been living in poverty and resources have been distributed unequally which placed them in vulnerable positions. To solve these problems, NGOs come up with different strategies such as providing aid to the poor, establishing microfinance entities, national development in the areas of good governance, and bridging the gap of poverty in southern Somalia. The study was conducted with descriptive research. The sample was 150 participants or respondents from the total population. The study used both quantitative and qualitative methods focusing on primary and secondary data. The data was collected through survey questionnaires. Statistical package for social science (SPSS) was used to analyze the data. The findings of this study presented that livelihood has affected the improvement of poverty reduction and decreased, 50 percent of the poor people have been getting some help from NGOs such as food, housing and shelter. 58 percent of the southern Somalia people get assistance from NGOs to improve their livelihood. Hence NGOs in southern Somalia can continue playing the role of catalyst in the attainment of sustainable economic growth and development provided, also the eradication of poverty, so a warm and dependable relationship is there between the government and NGOs where both are working for the benefit of the people.
A survey on “Knowledge, attitude and lifestyle of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) patients in Chattogram Division”
(Daffodil International University, 2024-05-14) Hoshen, Muhammad Farhad
The main causes of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis are known to be excessive food consumption and inactivity (NASH). Currently, the only available treatment for NASH disease is lifestyle modification. It's unclear how best to encourage behavior change in this group of people. This study aimed to characterise the relationship between patient disease knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours as well as evaluate the impact of an educational intervention. There were 171 NASH patient interviews conducted in total, where male patients were 93 and female patients was 78. Though most patients knew that the main therapy was weight loss through diet and exercise, ambiguity surrounding the diagnosis and etiology of their liver disease was a major theme. Male NASH patients' dietary habits were considerably different from those of normal male subjects, including the length of dinnertime, the quantity of rice consumed, and the frequency of consuming meat, fries, Chinese noodles, sweets, and instant food on a weekly basis. There were distinctions in the amount of rice that women ate at suppertime, how often they ate out, and how much they enjoyed sweets. Compared to female patients, male individuals with NASH exercised far less. The lifestyle preferences of NAFL and NASH were remarkably similar. There were no discernible lifestyle differences between NASH individuals who were obese and those who were not. The survey's most surprising conclusion was that men's lifestyles played a significant influence in the emergence of NASH.

Bridging the Gap: Health System Performance and Service Delivery for Rohingya Refugees & Host Community in Cox’s Bazar
(Daffodil International University, 2025-12-18) Chowdhury, Shaown
This chapter explains how we did the research to get a grip on what's really going on with healthcare in Cox’s Bazar. Since imparting healthcare for the duration of a long-time period disaster is extraordinarily complex and usually changing, we used the idea to use of a combination of strategies turned higher than simple one. We gathered numbers from surveys and other sources, and we also talked to refugees, locals, and healthcare workers to get their stories. The surveys gave us a general idea of who uses the services and how well the system works, like if the services are helpful and how well everyone is working together. But the survey data couldn't really explain why there were problems with the services. So, we dug deeper with the aid of reading interviews and searching on the memories humans told. We learned that things like gender roles, language barriers, and staff leaving all played a part in making it harder for some people to getthe care they needed. By putting all of this evidence together, we could see how the health system was doing from a big-picture view and what was happening on the ground. So, what did we find? The health system is constantly quick on sources and suffering to maintain up with the need, which hits women, minorities, and those with long-time period diseases the hardest Hearing from refugees, locals, and the people working directly with patients made our results even more useful.
