Background: Employing a potent preventive measure stands as the sole recourse against COVID-19. The global scale of the COVID-19 pandemic has propelled an unparalleled rush in vaccine development. This pressing demand has spawned a diverse range of approaches in vaccine development considerations. Any potential adverse events from the COVID-19 vaccine are typical indicators that the body is building protection. Objectives: To identify the prevalence, types and to investigate the possible attributed factors for the adverse events associated with COVID-19 vaccines. Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study that was conducted in the Iraq / Baghdad / Al-Resafa Directorate of Health (DOH) from the 7th of April to the 5th of August 2021. A total of 420 participants were enrolled in the study. Results: The most prevalent adverse events were injection site tenderness and joint pain /lethargy. There was a significant association between the adverse event, time of disappearance, and the type of vaccine, the highest percentage was associated with Pfizer BioNTech. The adverse events were significantly higher in females. There was a significant association between the first and second doses regarding the prevalence of injection site tenderness, joint pain, fever, and other adverse events. Conclusion: Most vaccinated people developed mild adverse events, pain at the site of injection was the most prevalent adverse event. The gender and type of vaccine significantly affected the development of the adverse events.

Background: The existence of associated diseases presents a major clinical challenge in the approach and management of COVID-19 patients. Objectives: To study the effect of common comorbidities on the severity, outcome, and duration of hospital stay among confirmed COVID 19 cases. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study. A 2574 conditions were involved in the current study. All the PCR confirmed cases in 2 COVID-19 centers at Babylon province/Iraq were included for the period from March till September 2020. A constructed questionnaire used as a method of data collection which including socio-demographic data, clinical presentation of the infection and its severity, associated comorbidities that the patient may suffer from and the duration of hospital stay and outcome. Results: the study shown that the mean of age 48.7 (±16.4) years, Diabetes Mellitus was the most prevalent associated comorbidity (25.0%), then hypertension with a prevalence of (23.4%), (84.0%) of the patients who had comorbidities had severe/critical illness compared to (54.1%) for patients who are free from comorbid illnesses with significant P value of (0.001), case-mortality ratio was 26.4% among patients with comorbidities compared to 10.6% among the patients free from comorbidity (P<0.001). Conclusions: associated diseases had significant impact on the severity of the duration and outcome of COVID-19 infection, patients with comorbidities must have additional preventive measures and they should be at the beginning in receiving the COVID-19 vaccine to prevent the deteriorations and bad consequences.

Unlike other cultures around the globe, marriage is considered a social contract and a religious obligation that was performed before having a sexual relationship. Existing literature indicates in Bangladesh despite having so many restrictions late marriage is gaining popularity among the youth and arising as an emerging problem. But what are the reasons for and consequences of such a phenomenon remain unanswered. A sample survey was conducted among the youth. Unmarried students of post-graduate level studying at Jagannath University, Dhaka University, and North South University were selected as samples for the quantitative data. Some case studies were also conducted for qualitative data to supplement survey data. This study found the causes behind late marriage are- respondents were waiting to complete their education, some were not mentally ready to take the responsibility, family did not discuss their marriage as they have elder siblings, did not want to lose their freedom now. A large number of respondents reported that they may have a problem having a baby due to late marriage which is agreed by the result of case studies. A vast majority of the respondents (90%) were found to use masturbation as an alternative way to meet sexual needs which leads to experiencing different psychosocial problems. More than three-fourths (78%) and two-thirds (69%) of respondents blamed late marriage chronologically for depression and loss of focus on work, respectively. This study drew some recommendations to address the reasons for late marriage and overcome its harsh consequences.

This research explores the Small Tea Plantations (STP) in Romjanpara and Radhanagar villages of Atwari Subdistrict under the northernmost district of Bangladesh, Panchagarh and its impact on the local farmers. More specifically, how STP was integrated in the local farming, the socioeconomic conditions of the small tea growers and the problems they face in the trading of tea leaves. The northernmost part of Bangladesh was economically insolvent before the advent of STP. Now the economic condition is growing and more lands are coming under STP. But behind this scene, there are stories of class formation and exploitation of the small tea growers. The first-hand data is collected using Case Study, KII, FGD, Semi-structured Interview, and observation. Adopting Political economy of agrarian change as theoretical framework and based on qualitative interviews, this research provides an analysis of the socioeconomic conditions and problems that the small tea growers face. The findings show that the factories create and often perpetuate these problems and thus reproduce the existing socioeconomic differences.

Background: The Directly Observed Treatment Short Course (DOTS) is a well-established and cost-effective strategy for treating Tuberculosis. It efficiently transforms infectious cases into non infectious ones, effectively interrupting the transmission cycle of the disease. Objectives: Measure the treatment outcomes in TB patients during 2016-2020, describe the socio-demographic and clinical profile of TB patients and evaluate the performance of the National TB program in Babil governorate based on WHO indicators. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done. All TB patients in the NTP Center of Babil governorate under the DOTS program from 2016 to 2020 were included. A form was developed to compile socio-demographic data, clinical presentation, and treatment outcomes. Results: A total number of cases was 1723. The mean age was 40.0 (± 21.0) years. The female constituted 53.8% of cases. The patients aged ≥ 65 years had the highest percentage of total cases 279 (16.2%). Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) constituted 56.1% of the cases 50.5% of them had smear-positive. The most common site for extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) was lymph nodes 41.1%. Treatment success was attained in 93.7%, while 3.3% of patients dead. The patients aged ≥ 65 years have the lowest success rate and highest treatment unsuccess rate opposite to young age groups (p 0.002). Conclusion: The treatment outcome target planned by WHO was achieved. The case detection rate of all form was low. The age and the site of TB significantly affected the outcome of treatment.

Background: The SARS-CoV-2 infection typically triggers discernible immunological responses in most reported cases. Employing a serological test could identify prior asymptomatic infections and aid in evaluating an individual's immune status. Given that healthcare professionals face a higher risk of COVID-19 exposure, the utilization of personal protective equipment remains the foremost approach in averting disease transmission within healthcare facilities. Objectives: To ascertain the prevalence of COVID-19 among healthcare professionals working in primary healthcare centers located within the AL-Sader city district. Method: During the period between November 1st, 2020, and December 31st, 2020, a cross-sectional study was carried out in nine primary healthcare centers, chosen through a cluster random sampling method. Result: Out of the 470 participants included in the study, 101 (21.5%) had a documented history of COVID-19 infection, with 76 confirmed through polymerase chain reaction analysis. Notably, a notable correlation between a positive rapid immunological test result and a prior history of COVID-19 infection (p-value < 0.001). The rapid test showed a sensitivity of 56.6% and a specificity of 79.2%. Specifically, 125 participants (26.6%) tested positive using the rapid test, with 104 (83.2%) exhibiting IgG antibodies, 5 (4%) displaying IgM, and 16 (12.8%) showing both IgG and IgM antibodies. Conclusion: The prevalence of COVID-19 infection among participants exceeded the anticipated levels. Significantly, there was a discernible correlation between positive rapid test results and COVID-19 infection, as well as factors such as smoking, comorbidities, PPE training, and household infections.

The geographical location, land characteristics, the multiplicity of rivers and the monsoon climate render Bangladesh highly vulnerable to natural hazards (Kabir & Hossen, 2019). The general economic situation and cultural way of life of Bangladesh's coastal residents have been impacted by climate change. The risk of natural disasters such as cyclones, storms, floods, and salinity are the greatest in Bangladesh's coastal regions (Chowdhury, 2007). In order to comprehend how the natural disasters brought on by climate change affect people's lives, the study has taken into account the fishing and farming communities of Patharghata, a coastal Upazila of the Barguna region. Both qualitative and quantitative (mix-method) approaches were used to reach the study's objectives. The first-hand data is collected using Case Study, KII, FGD, Semi-structured Interview, Structured Interview, and observation. This study has found some local strategies followed by the people to predict and adapt the natural calamities. The govt of Bangladesh and different NGOs and INGOs are working to mitigate the climate change challenges. The study demonstrates that these activities of government and NGOs have some weaknesses, so they sometimes fail to make positive changes at the root level. The local people have their own social, political, and religious belief system and worldview, which significantly impacts disaster response. To achieve the sustainable development goal of this area, it needs to apply bottom-up policy formulation synchronizing their local social context.

The rental sector in the UAE represents about half of the real estate sector, as it is one of the basics on which the economy is based and one of the essential basic pillars in the economic sector. Due to that, the local legislator intervened in the Emirate of Dubai to achieve transparency in this sector and protect dealers’ rights. Therefore, the government established a Rental Dispute Center Dubai (RDCA) to resolve rental disputes arising between the parties from the rental contract. In this regard, the article examines the extent of the contribution of the RDCA to the development of the real estate sector and the provision of a safe and stable environment for investors on the one hand and for the parties to the rental relationship on the other. The article adopted the social legal research methodology. The data were examined using an analytical and critical approach. It found that the RDCA has been demonstrated to effectively accomplish simplicity, expediency, and efficiency in resolving rental disputes, thereby distinguishing itself from the judicial system. It also has significantly contributed to safeguarding the rights of all involved parties within the rental relationship, thereby augmenting the growth and advancement of the real estate sector. However, the article recommends that certain legal provisions that appear to contradict the principle of judicial independence be revised in order to fully realise the goals for which the RDCA was established.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the substantive impact of how informal institutions regulate and reciprocate the actions of formal institutions in order to determine the extent to which the value transformation of developing countries is maintained across traditional, modern, and post-modern ranges. Using concepts of Inglehart's Evolutionary Modernization Theory and North's Transaction Cost, we have attempted to develop a conceptual framework based on the collinearity, structure, and velocity of value transformation in order to identify subjective preferences for the conformance of the underlying culture and the bargaining nature of informal institutions within the institutional multiplicity. Comparing three developing regions (South Asia, Africa, and Latin America) has allowed us to identify prospective domains and rates for tracking these changes. As a result of this comparison, various socio-cultural scenarios of underlying cultures and political-economic scenarios of the bargaining nature of informal institutions surrounding the transition and sustainability of particular value propositions in developing nations have been found. These scenarios have been found to be influenced by historical path dependency and cultural change agents with varying impacts on informal institutions.

Using concepts of Inglehart's Evolutionary Modernization Theory and North's Transaction Cost, we have attempted to develop a conceptual framework based on the collinearity, structure, and velocity of value transformation in order to identify subjective preferences for the conformance of the underlying culture and the bargaining nature of informal institutions within the institutional multiplicity. Comparing three developing regions (South Asia, Africa, and Latin America) has allowed us to identify prospective domains and rates for tracking these changes. As a result of this comparison, various socio-cultural scenarios of underlying cultures and political-economic scenarios of the bargaining nature of informal institutions surrounding the transition and sustainability of particular value propositions in developing nations have been found. These scenarios have been found to be influenced by historical path dependency and cultural change agents with varying impacts on informal institutions.","PeriodicalId":426776,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130390447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
