Although rural-urban migration occurs almost in every society but a little research has been done to measure the effects of such migration on health. Using database of the Health and Demographic Surveillance System of selected slums of Dhaka (North and South) and Gazipur City Corporations, 1,017 respondents of age 18 years or more were selected randomly for this study (505 for male and 512 for female). The respondents were interviewed during August-September 2016 to collect data on perceived physical and mental health statuses using 36-items Short Form. The eight scale scores were computed with these data and grouped in to two categories: physical health and mental health scores. The study reported that after controlling for selected socio-demographic variables, both physical and mental health statuses were better for nonmigrants than those of short- and long- duration migrants; these two health statuses were also consistently better for migrants of short-duration than migrants of long-duration. The study also documented better physical and mental health statuses for male than female, better health for educated than illiterate, and better health for rickshaw puller/laborer than the ‘other’ occupation category. As physical and mental health statuses get worse for people living long in the slum, it has implication on health care cost (caring and medical); such health care cost is likely to increase in future as people grow old in the slum and more people in-migrating. 2017-06-07T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ewubd.edu:8080/handle/123456789/2275 The Effect of Corporate Governance on Firm's Performance: A Review of Banking Sector of Bangladesh Shil, Nikhil Chandra; Islam, Rashidul; Saha, Netai Kumar Corporate Governance (CG) becomes a buzzword due to its serious attractiveness to different stakeholders like academicians, policy makers etc. In the wake of the century, corporate management becomes the threat of financial manipulator which raise concern to all. CG enters into the realm of board room as a survivor from uncurious attitude of few active agents who always search for loopholes to plug in. Banking sector in Bangladesh is not an exception. Like other developing economics, the banking sector in Bangladesh is not an expectation. Like other developing economics, the banking sector becomes the dominant financial intermediary in the financial system of Bangladesh due to underdeveloped capital markets, limited availability of financial instruments and lack of confidence in financial system. Given the banks intermediately role in providing stability to the financial system, Bangladesh as well as many emerging economics has implemented policies to develop and restructure the banking sector. An important feature of these policies was to design guidelines for best practices known as ‘CG of Banks’. The unique feature of banking industry which deals with the money of the depositors conveys the inevitability to implement CG in this sector. Bangladesh owns a rich history of code of CG. At regular intervals, such code has been update. Bangladesh bank the central bank of Bangladesh, has also issued a separate code which is applicable to banks in addition to the guidelines issued by Bangladesh securities and exchange communication. These guidelines are based on the Agency theory and follow Anglo American model of CG. However different theories and models are developed globally to address the particular needs under consideration. This study aims to find out any relationship between CG as practiced by banks with performance. This study uses both primary and secondary sources of data for the analysis and exploits different descriptive and inferential statistical tools for drawing conclusions. It also employs ethnography as a research methods. The very purpose of this methodology is to interpret social reality. To bring triangulation, an in-depth interview technique is also employed where ten interviews were taken, coded and encrypted to supplement the outcome of quantitative studies. It is expected that the study will add values through its analysis to current state of knowledge and will also offer some areas for new researchers. 0007-01-01T00:00:00Z http://dspace.ewubd.edu:8080/handle/123456789/2269 School Going Children's Knowledge on Disaster Preparedness: A Study from Selected Areas of Bangladesh Islam, Md.
