As a result of the detrimental impacts of indoor air pollution, people, especially residents of poorer households, staying at home for a substantial amount of time are exposed to toxic reagents (for example- carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide) that exacerbates their health problems. The idea of this research is to assess Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in the slum areas of Chittagong, Bangladesh, and highlight distinct problems faced by the residents of those residences, relating to indoor air pollution. The field research is conducted in the households of four slums areas of Chittagong which are socially and culturally diverse in background and have various practices of household maintenance such as cooking practices with solid fuels, biomass, electricity, LPG, charcoal etc. Other practices include use of insect repellent, improper waste management and ventilation system. Findings of this study provoked emergence of several health issues and degraded standard of living, pertinent to the sources and consequences of indoor air pollution there. Interviews of the members of those households in the slums based on survey questionnaire have included the quotidian issues that they combat pertaining to indoor air pollution. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repository.auw.edu.bd/handle/123456789/112 General People’s Perception About the Rohingya Influx Dhruba, Adhara Fardhin 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repository.auw.edu.bd/handle/123456789/111 Gender and Sports in Nepal: A case Study of Teenage Girls Involvement Nepal, Aditi; Manandhar, Aditi Nepal being a male-dominated society is still facing discrimination between men and women in various sectors. This discrimination starts right from the family level to the national level. From a male member overpowering a female member in a family to unequal distribution of opportunities in national level, discrimination is easily visible in most of the areas. Currently, involvement of women in sports is one of the major topics of discussion. Women in Nepal involve in sports comparatively lesser than men due to various reasons like male-dominated media, lack of proper encouragement, menstruation, etc. Our projects’ purpose was to find out the interest and involvement of teenage girls of Nepal in indoor and outdoor sports. Moreover, it was to motivate and encourage women to take part in sports. This was a cross- sectional study, random sampling test done with teenage girls. The total number of participants were 176 and from 11 different schools/ high schools. Questionnaires prepared were given to the participants for giving their opinions. Out of the total participants, only 62.3% said their parents or teachers encourage them to participate in sports and around 50% gave positive response about the scope of sports in Nepal. More than 50% said it is not good to play sports during the time of menstruation. 2018-01-01T00:00:00Z
