Status of air quality in Rajshahi metropolitan area, Bangladesh

Rajshahi is well-known as a model city for clean air in Bangladesh but in recent time air pollution is increasing in metropolitan areas. This study aims to examine the concentration of Particulate Matters (PM₁, PM₂.₅, and PM₁₀) in the Rajshahi metropolitan area during March 2021, with a focus on distinct land use categories. The research was carried out in 40 different sites within the Rajshahi metropolitan area, utilizing a portable device for measuring air quality. It was found that the average concentrations of PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀ were 56.41 and 72.63 µg/m³ respectively, which is 2.25 and 1.45-fold than World Health Organizations (WHO) Standards. According to this study, the three locations with the highest levels of PM₂.₅ pollution were the Mohanonda project gate (105.750 µg/m³), Textile Mill (79.750 µg/m³), and Sarkar Cold Storage (71.750 µg/m³). The concentration of PM₂.₅ in the most polluted location was found to be 1.63 times than the standard level set by Department of Environment (DoE) and 4.23 times higher than the WHO standard. Furthermore, it was calculated that the average PM₂.₅/PM₁₀ ratio was 77.70% and the average PM₁/PM₂.₅ ratio was 60.16%. It also revealed that temperature is negatively and humidity is positively correlated with PM₁, PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀, which means any change in the concentration of PM₁, PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀ can cause a significant change in the percentage of humidity in the same direction, for humidity the change would be in opposite direction. The concentration of PM₂.₅ in ambient air with respect to land use decreases as follows: industrial area > village area > road intersection area > sensitive area > mixed area > commercial area > residential area.

The Impact and Mechanism of Digital Villages on Agricultural Resilience in Ecologically Fragile Ethnic Areas: Evidence from China’s Provinces

Ecologically fragile ethnic areas constitute pivotal regions for rural revitalization and the construction of the Beautiful China initiative. The establishment of digital villages is of great significance for enhancing agricultural resilience and achieving common prosperity. Utilizing panel data from ecologically fragile ethnic areas between 2010 and 2020, this study employs a projection pursuit model to calculate scores for digital village levels and agricultural resilience. Building on this, our research employs instrumental variable methods and a mediation effect model to analyze the impact and mechanisms of digital village level on agricultural resilience in ecologically fragile ethnic areas, and heterogeneity analysis is conducted. The findings reveal that digital village level and agricultural resilience scores in ecologically fragile ethnic areas show a trend of initial increase followed by a decrease, exhibiting significant overall fluctuations and unstable growth. The promotion of digital village areas on agricultural resilience is evident, and this conclusion holds even after a series of tests including instrumental variables. Elevating the digital village level can narrow the urban–rural income gap and enhance agricultural resilience. There is significant regional heterogeneity in the impact of digital village levels on local agricultural resilience in ecologically fragile ethnic areas, with digital village development exerting a more pronounced and powerful driving force in areas with lower agricultural resilience. Therefore, leveraging the leadership of advantaged provinces, intensifying investment in digital village infrastructure, and implementing targeted strategies based on the disparities in digital village level and agricultural resilience across areas become imperative.

High-Resolution Remote Sensing Imagery for the Recognition of Traditional Villages

Traditional Chinese villages, vital carriers of traditional culture, have faced significant alterations due to urbanization in recent years, urgently necessitating artificial intelligence data updates. This study integrates high spatial resolution remote sensing imagery with deep learning techniques, proposing a novel method for identifying rooftops of traditional Chinese village buildings using high-definition remote sensing images. Using 0.54 m spatial resolution imagery of traditional village areas as the data source, this method analyzes the geometric and spectral image characteristics of village building rooftops. It constructs a deep learning feature sample library tailored to the target types. Employing a semantically enhanced version of the improved Mask R-CNN (Mask Region-based Convolutional Neural Network) for building recognition, the study conducts experiments on localized imagery from different regions. The results demonstrated that the modified Mask R-CNN effectively identifies traditional village building rooftops, achieving an of 0.7520 and an of 0.7400. It improves the current problem of misidentification and missed detection caused by feature heterogeneity. This method offers a viable and effective approach for industrialized data monitoring of traditional villages, contributing to their sustainable development.

COMPARISON OF HOLISTIC CARE HYPNOLACTATION MODEL BY SELF-TALK FOR BREASTMILK PRODUCTION IN POSTPARTUM WOMEN

Breast milk production is crucial for mothers to provide exclusive breast milk to their babies. Holistic care in midwifery offers an alternative or complementary approach to conventional medical treatment. It aimed to enhance the health of postpartum mothers through education and various health services, recognizing that health issues are not solely physical and can be addressed through non-medical interventions. This study investigated the impact of Hypnolactation and self-talk on breast milk production in postpartum mothers. The research utilized a quasi-experimental design, specifically, a pretest-posttest with a control group. The holistic care model implemented communication science techniques to promote relaxation, deep breathing, positive suggestions, and confidence building in postpartum mothers. The study was conducted in the Meteseh Boja Kendal village area from June to August 2023. The analysis employed paired testing, with a sample of 35 out of 42 postpartum mothers selected through purposive sampling. The results revealed that 100% of mothers who received Hypnolactation achieved sufficient breast milk levels, whereas 66.7% of those who practiced self-talk achieved the same, with 33.3% having inadequate levels. Hypnolactation demonstrated greater efficacy in enhancing breast milk production in the Meteseh Boja Kendal area. Applying hypnolactation and self-talk increased the secretion of endorphins, prolactin, and oxytocin, potentially influencing the mother's breastfeeding ability and the body's capacity to produce breast milk. Future research should consider using action research methods, expanding sample coverage over an extended period, and examining additional factors such as postpartum mothers' dietary intake.
