This paper explores the construction of ideational meanings in the speeches of Nouman Ali Khan using the choice of transitivity in Transitivity in Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). The study uses the ideational meta-function provided by Halliday to examine 20 thematic lines of the speeches in four themes: Identity and Purpose, Youth and Struggle, Marriage and Family, and Quranic Reflection. The clause is used as the unit of analysis; the 20 lines were divided into 39 clauses, which were coded according to the type of processes (material, mental, relational, verbal, behavioral, existential), role of a participant (e.g., Actor, Goal, Senser, Carrier, Sayer), and the circumstances. Results suggest that there is a predominance of material processes, which means that the discourse chosen to work with religiosity focuses on action, reform, and transformation as the main aspects of religiosity. The relational processes prove to be evident in order to construct and reform the main notions like identity, faith, failure, and moral value, and mental processes are concerned with inner consciousness and the evaluative perception. Verbal processes are also localized in the Quran Reflection lines, in which Allah and the Quran are often placed as Sayers, as a reinforcement of scriptural and divine authority, through communicative representation. All in all, the patterns of transitivity demonstrate systematic grammatical strategies by which the speeches assign responsibility to the audience, keep the divine witnessing and guidance as the dominant meaning, and create religious identity through definition networks. The paper shows that transitivity analysis is a strict tool explaining how the modern Islamic motivational text creates experience, agency, and ideology on the level of the clauses (Halliday & Matthiessen, 2014; Thompson, 2014).

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pretenses a critical universal wellbeing hazard, demanding advanced strategies to battle drug-resistant pathogens. Nano-biotechnology, a cross-disciplinary field at the juncture of nanotechnology and biomedicine, has arisen as an auspicious opportunity for addressing this task. This abstract offers a brief impression of the role of nano-biotechnology in the battle against AMR. Nano-biotechnology controls nanomaterials and nanostructures to project new approaches for overpowering resistance mechanisms. By augmenting the effectiveness of current antimicrobial agents, nanomaterials offer a probable solution to the confines of conservative treatments. Moreover, nanocarriers empower targeted and controlled drug delivery, refining therapeutic results while minimalizing adverse effects. In addition to enhancing treatment strategies, nano-biotechnology eases the improvement of innovative diagnostics and monitoring tools. Nano-based biosensors and imaging practices enable prompt and delicate detection of drug-resistant strains, allowing for quick intervention and particular management of infections. While the potential profits are substantial, trials such as biocompatibility, noxiousness, and ethical contemplations must be addressed for accountable and safe enactment. Interdisciplinary association among investigators, healthcare professionals, and policymakers is critical to translating these progressions into practical solutions. This abstract highlight the noteworthy promise of nano-biotechnology in the constant battle against AMR, accentuating its potential to transfigure the field of infectious disease management and contribute to worldwide public health efforts.

The education system is vital to eliminating societal inequalities. Internet-based learning systems launched in low- and middle-income countries by providing an equity vibe; however, Bangladesh's reality differs from this philosophy. Bangladesh adopted an e-learning strategy to perk up its literacy rate during the COVID-19 lockdown. However, the current situation has become complex due to insufficient internet network and technological setup, the market-generated welfare policy, little accountability of the state, and inadequate fund release to accommodate this new learning system. Disabled students got few benefits from the system; for instance, it reduced mobility crisis; hence financial, societal, and cultural blockades become uniquely problematic to some extent. The current article will analyse existing secondary literature to understand disabled students' academic future in Bangladesh, relevant policy, and practices to determine their citizenship rights.

教育制度对消除社会不平等至关重要。通过提供公平氛围，在低收入和中等收入国家推出了基于互联网的学习系统;然而，孟加拉国的现实情况与这一理念不同。在新冠疫情封锁期间，孟加拉国采取了一项电子学习战略，以提高识字率。然而，由于互联网网络和技术设置的不足，市场产生的福利政策，国家问责制的缺失，以及适应这种新的学习系统的资金释放不足，目前的情况变得复杂。残疾学生从该制度中得到的好处很少;例如，它减少了流动性危机;因此，在某种程度上，金融、社会和文化封锁成为独特的问题。本文将分析现有的二手文献，以了解孟加拉国残疾学生的学术未来、相关政策和确定其公民权利的做法。《社会科学评论》，Vol. 39(3)， Dec 2022，第73-91页

Since the early 2000’s trade liberalization, the state-owned sugar mills in Bangladesh have started to lose competitiveness. Before that this industry used to be considered a strategic sector because sugar is an essential food and the industry creates thousands of rural employments. In 2020, the government suspended operation of six out of fifteen mills with the excuse of loss. The closure of six mills has reduced the sugar production and negatively impacted the lives of farmers, workers, and businessmen. The government is considering foreign investment without considering the potential of government investment to revive the industry. Therefore, it is important to re-examine the factors that increased the cost and find out how the state could revive the industry under its ownership. This paper analysed the data of 15 state-owned sugar mills for 14 years (2006-07 to 2019-2020) using mixed method (fixed effect regression and interview) to explain the mechanisms of the cost increase. It found that the recovery rate, price of sugarcane, availability of sugarcane, age of mills, and interest payment are the most important determinants of cost. Modernizing the mills, making sugarcane available through sugarcane price incentives, timely payment to farmers, and diversifying products could contribute to cost reduction.

自2000年初的贸易自由化以来，孟加拉国的国有糖厂开始失去竞争力。在此之前，该行业曾被视为战略部门，因为糖是一种基本食品，该行业创造了数千个农村就业机会。2020年，政府以亏损为由，暂停了15家钢厂中的6家的运营。六家糖厂的关闭减少了糖的产量，对农民、工人和商人的生活产生了负面影响。政府在没有考虑政府投资的潜力的情况下，正在考虑外国投资。”因此，重新审视增加成本的因素，并找出国家如何在其所有权下重振该行业是很重要的。本文采用固定效应回归和访谈相结合的混合方法，对15家国有糖厂2006-07年至2019-2020年14年的数据进行了分析，以解释成本上升的机制。研究发现，甘蔗的回收率、甘蔗价格、甘蔗的可获得性、工厂的年龄和利息支付是成本的最重要决定因素。使糖厂现代化、通过甘蔗价格激励措施提供甘蔗、及时向农民付款以及使产品多样化都有助于降低成本。社会科学评论，Vol. 39(3)， Dec 2022页133-151

This paper explores the processes of gender construction in political communication as reflected in the Bangladeshi media. It examines the coverage of female candidates during the 2018 general elections in four national Bengali-language newspapers using framing analysis and discourse analysis. It also includes interviews of nine women Members of Parliament to understand their response to the media coverage they do or do not receive in the national press, their own approaches to the media, and suggestions towards making the press more gender-sensitive in its political coverage. Based on the concept of gendered mediation, analysis of the media and interviews of women parliamentarians revealed that women politicians were framed in relation to male mentors; as new, inexperienced and potentially incompetent; and as representatives of women voters only. The findings suggest that the media should promote women more positively in politics by raising awareness of the presence, strength and efforts of women politicians, by covering in depth and evaluating their efforts, accomplishments and impact.

本文探讨孟加拉媒体所反映的政治传播中的性别建构过程。它使用框架分析和话语分析，研究了2018年大选期间四家全国性孟加拉语报纸对女性候选人的报道。它还包括对九名女议员的采访，以了解她们对她们在国家新闻界得到或没有得到的媒体报道的反应、她们自己对媒体的态度以及关于使新闻界在其政治报道中对性别问题更加敏感的建议。根据性别调解的概念，对媒体的分析和对女议员的采访表明，女政治家与男性导师的关系是被框定的;作为新人，缺乏经验和潜在的无能;而且只代表女性选民。调查结果表明，媒体应通过提高对妇女政治家的存在、力量和努力的认识，通过深入报道和评价她们的努力、成就和影响，更积极地促进妇女参政。《社会科学评论》Vol. 39(3)， Dec 2022页55-72

In Bangladesh, various forms of violence are much higher in the remote areas of the southern coastal districts than in any other part of the country. Though there are a number of legal support-related organisations available in the country, they have limited presence in the coastal areas. Hence, based on ten in-depth interviews, this paper focuses on women’s personal reflections on their experience of domestic violence and their attitude towards seeking help to protest against violence. The research findings reveal that although domestic violence takes place inside the family, however, is strengthened by the broader patriarchal structure and legitimised through the practice of negative socio-cultural discourses, religious beliefs, norms, and gender bias legal systems. The findings further establish that patriarchal mentality, traditional norms and discourses, women’s insecurity, lack of education and economic dependency of women create hindrance from receiving legal assistance, which in turn create further scope for domestic violence.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a master plan to achieve a sustainable future by 2030, and the government of Bangladesh has been working relentlessly to achieve its targets. Since each country is supposed to take ownership of the goals and tailor policies according to their needs, in the localisation process of the SDGs, the local government institutions play a significant role in implementation. Similarly, in Bangladesh, Rural Local Government Institutions (RLGIs) are likely to play an essential role in the localisation of the SDGs, since they remain close to the most marginalized and often vulnerable rural people and can impact them directly. However, the RLGIs have not made a notable contribution in the localisation of the SDGs so far, and the deadline is approaching. This paper aims to understand the limitation of localising the SDGs by the RLGIs in Bangladesh by exploring the challenges they face that lead to policy implementation failure. From qualitative data collected from six different RLGIs, the paper finds that RLGIs suffer from four broad challenges: financial, political and administrative, behavioural and planning challenges that are causing SDGs localisation implementation failure. The paper concludes that these issues are unlikely to be overcome in a short time, so the future of SDGs localisation within the given timeframe is questionable.

可持续发展目标(SDGs)是到2030年实现可持续未来的总体规划，孟加拉国政府一直在不懈努力实现其目标。由于每个国家都应该拥有目标的所有权，并根据自己的需要量身定制政策，因此在可持续发展目标的本地化过程中，地方政府机构在实施中发挥着重要作用。同样，在孟加拉国，农村地方政府机构(rlgi)可能在可持续发展目标的本地化中发挥重要作用，因为它们与最边缘化和往往最脆弱的农村人口保持密切联系，可以直接影响他们。然而，到目前为止，rlgi在可持续发展目标的本地化方面并没有做出显著的贡献，而截止日期正在临近。本文旨在通过探索导致政策实施失败的挑战，了解孟加拉国地区地方政府在可持续发展目标本地化方面的局限性。根据从六个不同的地方地方政府收集的定性数据，本文发现地方地方政府面临四大挑战:财政、政治和行政、行为和规划挑战，这些挑战导致可持续发展目标本地化实施失败。该论文的结论是，这些问题不太可能在短时间内得到解决，因此，在给定的时间框架内，可持续发展目标本地化的未来是值得怀疑的。《社会科学评论》，Vol. 39(3)， Dec 2022, Page 93-111

It is widely known that women’s economic empowerment can lead to economic growth. Information communication technologies (ICTs) have been promoted as tools for national development. In this context, women have been promoted themselves as entrepreneurs through connecting more people by using ICT tools effectively. This paper mainly focuses on the role of ICT for women entrepreneurship development in Bangladesh. It also represents different social, cultural barriers women face in using ICTs in their business purposes. To make the study more effective questionnaire method was used. For this study 100 women have been selected from different online business pages and sent them the questionnaire. Among them 20 women entrepreneurs respond the questionnaire which included questions on role of ICT, training on ICT, mostly use of device, monthly income, availability of ICT institutions, access of ICT, barriers of using ICT and so on. It is argued in the study that women are becoming adapt themselves with technology especially in their business purpose and lead to contribute to the country’s economy. Lack of awareness, social, cultural structure are the major barriers to bring them as entrepreneurs and change their life. Social Science Review, Vol. 39(3), Dec 2022 Page 17-35
众所周知，妇女的经济赋权可以带来经济增长。信息通信技术(ict)已成为促进国家发展的工具。在此背景下，通过有效利用信息通信技术工具将更多的人联系起来，妇女被提升为企业家。本文主要关注信息通信技术在孟加拉国妇女创业发展中的作用。这也代表了妇女在将信息通信技术用于商业目的时面临的不同社会和文化障碍。为使研究更有效，采用问卷调查法。在这项研究中，从不同的在线商业页面中选择了100名女性，并向她们发送了问卷。其中20名女企业家回答了调查表，其中包括关于信通技术的作用、信通技术的培训、主要是设备的使用、月收入、信通技术机构的可用性、信通技术的获取、使用信通技术的障碍等问题。该研究认为，妇女正在适应技术，特别是在她们的商业目的中，并为国家的经济做出贡献。缺乏意识、社会、文化结构是使他们成为企业家和改变他们生活的主要障碍。《社会科学评论》Vol. 39(3)， Dec 2022页17-35

This research intends to explore the complex dynamics between fatherhood and masculinities, and how these dynamics are shaped by different structural factors, which hinder the enactment of involved fatherhood in two generations of Bangladeshi fathers. It accumulates the voices and experiences of older and younger fathers living in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The findings demonstrate how the construction of fatherhood is influenced by Connell’s (1987) “hegemonic masculinity” ideology, where specific male identities – protectors and providers – are valued, at the cost of not performing involved or compassionate fatherhood. In addition, this study illustrates how the social expectations create pressure for men to fit in the prescribed categories; although, an attention is given towards the fluidity of hegemonic masculinity, and the challenges it faces from both generations’ fathers with the changing norms, and due to the practice of alternative masculinities – mostly by the young fathers. This research follows qualitative research methodology employing in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) to have a deeper insight of what happens when structural factors, masculinity and fatherhood collide. The study concludes that both generations fathers are opening towards involved fatherhood, yet traditional fatherhood still dominates the domestic spheres.

本研究旨在探讨父权与男子气概之间的复杂动态关系，以及这些动态关系是如何被不同的结构因素所塑造的，这些因素阻碍了两代孟加拉国父亲参与父权的制定。它收集了生活在孟加拉国达卡的年长和年轻父亲的声音和经历。研究结果表明，父亲身份的建构是如何受到康奈尔(1987)的“霸权男性”意识形态的影响的，在这种意识形态中，特定的男性身份——保护者和提供者——被重视，以不履行参与或富有同情心的父亲身份为代价。此外，这项研究还说明了社会期望如何给男性带来压力，迫使他们符合规定的类别;尽管如此，人们还是关注了霸权男性气质的流动性，以及它面临的挑战，这些挑战来自两代父亲随着规范的变化，以及由于另类男性气质的实践——主要是年轻父亲。本研究采用定性研究方法，采用深度访谈和焦点小组讨论(fgd)，以更深入地了解当结构性因素、男子气概和父亲身份发生冲突时会发生什么。该研究的结论是，两代父亲都在向参与型父亲开放，但传统父亲仍然主导着家庭领域。社会科学评论，Vol. 39(3)， Dec 2022页113-131
