The paper aims to investigate the health seeking behavior of rural ethnic women in Bangladesh through the lens of intersectionality. The paper sheds light on the healthcare seeking behavior of rural ethnic women by exploring the barriers of their healthcare accessibility, role of community organizations and traditional healers in shaping health seeking behavior, analyzing the impact of education, health literacy and healthcare awareness, and evaluating the role of family and community level power imbalance over the health seeking behavior of rural ethnic women. The study is based on both primary and secondary data. The fi ndings of the paper highlight that various social and cultural factors, including gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic status, intersected to in fl uence health seeking behavior among rural ethnic women in Bangladesh. Access to healthcare was found to be limited due to a lack of resources, transportation, and information. The paper argues that Community organizations and traditional healers played a minimal yet important role in shaping health seeking behavior, while the existing power imbalance in the family and community level has been found to be associated with health seeking behavior. The paper concludes the importance of addressing the multiple and intersecting factors that shape health seeking behavior among rural ethnic women in Bangladesh.

This paper explores the perceptions of a group of female Saudi Arabian university students, during the Covid-19 pandemic, regarding emergency on-line learning (EOL). The study utilized a mixed methods approach comprising two surveys. The fi rst, examining the mechanics and structure of the shift. The second, a qualitative design eliciting the students ’ responses to EOL. While the students initially enjoyed the experience, as time progressed a sense of dissat-isfaction developed which became worse the longer the lockdowns lasted. The results assist policy makers, social workers, and student advisors to prepare for future crises that may result in another prolonged lockdown.

This research empirically examined the effect of internal and external factors on the economic growth of Bangladesh using the annual data from 1976 to 2019. ARDL bounds tests were used to detect cointegration and understand the dynamic effect. This study mainly identi fi ed the positive and negative casualties because remittance and export have a signi fi cant positive role, and FDI has an adverse role in the economic growth process. Furthermore, this study recommends that the government take appropriate steps to increase export, the in fl ow of remittance and FDI to achieve long-run economic growth, considering the impact of COVID-19 and present Russia-Ukraine war.

The pandemic has universally disrupted the way people live and socialise. People ' s behavioural patterns have also been signi fi cantly in fl uenced by the Covid-19 pandemic. A study conducted in Singapore found evidence of at least 17 behavioural changes triggered by Covid-19 pandemic. Another study done in Italy found that there was a high intention to adopt protective behaviours post the Covid-19 lockdown. Similarly, a study done in South Africa indicated enhanced behavioural responses to Covid-19 and consequently the evolution of preventive behaviours. The behavioural changes triggered by Covid-19 pandemic are likely to extend into consumption territory and impact consumer behaviour signi fi cantly. A seminal study done at Swiss Re Institute found that Covid-19 was likely to change the way people work, travel, communicate, shop and more. Our research is focussed on assessing pandemic in fl uenced alterations to habitual behaviour in the consumption arena. The study fi rst explores if habituated consumption behaviours have been altered in the areas of criteria of evaluation of product/brand alternatives and subsequently the choices that are being made in identi fi ed product categories. The study then follows up by assessing the causative factors that have prompted these changes. The fi nal part of research explores whether the newer habits that have replaced the older ones are here to stay or if there are merely a response to pandemic altered conditions with no permanency. The insights generated from the emergent themes clearly demonstrate that the degree of pandemic induced fear experienced in fl uences the degree of behavioural change including changes in consumption behaviour. This in turn in fl uences the longevity/permanency of behavioural changes (including changes to consumption behaviour). Personality is the moderating variable that dictates the degree of fear experienced.
疫情普遍扰乱了人们的生活和社交方式。人们的行为模式也受到Covid-19大流行的重大影响。在新加坡进行的一项研究发现了Covid-19大流行引发的至少17种行为变化的证据。在意大利进行的另一项研究发现，在Covid-19封锁后，采取保护行为的意愿很高。同样，在南非进行的一项研究表明，对Covid-19的行为反应增强，从而导致预防行为的演变。Covid-19大流行引发的行为变化可能会扩展到消费领域，并对消费者行为产生重大影响。瑞士再保险研究所(Swiss Re Institute)进行的一项开创性研究发现，新冠肺炎可能会改变人们的工作、旅行、沟通、购物等方式。我们的研究重点是评估大流行对消费领域习惯行为的影响。本研究首先探讨习惯的消费行为是否在产品/品牌替代品的评估标准方面发生了改变，随后在确定的产品类别中做出了选择。该研究随后评估了导致这些变化的致病因素。研究的最后一部分探讨了取代旧习惯的新习惯是否会继续存在，或者是否只是对大流行改变的情况的一种反应，而不是永久性的。从新出现的主题中产生的见解清楚地表明，在流感大流行中经历的恐惧程度会影响行为变化的程度，包括消费行为的变化。这反过来又影响到行为改变(包括消费行为的改变)的持久性。性格是决定恐惧程度的调节变量。

The Youth Revolving Fund (YRF) loan was established to help unemployed youths alleviate their economic and social difficulties. However, its loan repayment performance is not as expected. Thus, the objective of this study was to examine the effect of socio-economic factors on loan repayment performance of the YRF in the Oromia Regional State. Data was collected through a survey involving 328 respondents. Results showed peer pressure, loan diversion, time of maturity of investment and predominant economic shocks affected loan repayment at a 5% significance level. The paper provides recommendations for the government to create awareness about the YRF loan, as well as to reconsider training and guidance, and to develop an alternative fund utilization strategy.
