Students’ voice and participation in teaching -learning practices in the classrooms and in schools are central in promoting Democratic Citizenship Education (DCE). Aiming to increase the practices of democratic values through education, in 2015 the government of Bangladesh enacted ‘student cabinet’ in secondary schools in Bangladesh. Through the development of a qualitative case study with an action research component, this study explores how the engagement of ‘student cabinet’ in school activities could be established through the development of ‘teamwork’. Data were collected from the head teacher, two classroom teachers, two group of students and the members of ‘student cabinet’ using semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions and field notes. Findings suggest that while the ‘student cabinet’ was not effectively functioning in the school, involvement of its members, the teachers and the head teacher in planning and implementing the activities of the ‘student cabinet’ through collaborative action research influenced positive changes. ‘Strategy of working as a team rather than individuals’ showed potentials for improving the engagement of ‘student cabinet’ in the school activities and developing sense of connectedness with the school community. Findings have implications in promoting DCE through student representative bodies in schools in Bangladesh and other contexts. Social Science Review, Vol. 37(2), Dec 2020 Page 183-199
学生在课堂和学校的教学实践中的发言权和参与是促进民主公民教育的核心。为了通过教育提高民主价值观的实践，孟加拉国政府于2015年在孟加拉国的中学颁布了“学生内阁”。本研究以定性个案研究的方式，结合行动研究的内容，探讨如何透过“团队合作”的发展，建立“学生内阁”在学校活动中的参与。通过半结构化访谈、焦点小组讨论和实地记录，从班主任、两名班主任、两组学生和“学生内阁”成员中收集数据。研究结果表明，虽然“学生内阁”在学校没有有效运作，但其成员、教师和班主任通过合作行动研究参与规划和实施“学生内阁”的活动，影响了积极的变化。“以团队而非个人的方式工作的策略”显示出提高“学生内阁”在学校活动中的参与度和发展与学校社区的联系感的潜力。研究结果对在孟加拉国和其他国家的学校通过学生代表机构促进DCE具有影响。社会科学评论，Vol. 37(2)， Dec 2020, Page 183-199

Bangladesh adheres to the principles and values of respecting cultural, religious, and ethnic diversities and has enriched school textbooks for meeting demands of the society and preparing young generations as much as possible for future with adequate facts, well-known perspectives and diverse worldviews. School textbooks are one of the critical instruments of preparing young generations for future—with the values of respect, tolerance, mutual understanding, cooperation, unity, prosperity, partnership and humanity. However, sometimes textbooks could produce counter-productive outcomes if contents were not developed with well-thoughts and prudence. They also constitute a compulsion for a country to realise how the young children could be prepared with the values of maintaining and ensuring peace, accepting cultural diversity, and respecting the ethos of peaceful coexistence of multi-ethnic and multi-religious communities living in a society. As an elementary level effort, this paper has focused on some selective secondary level textbooks in Bangladesh to understand how the issues of cultural diversity and peaceful coexistence have been represented. There has been a plenty of textbook contents described and touched on the aspects of cultural diversity in various ways to enlighten students about pluralism and values of social cohesion. However, a more delicate and detailed presentation of some issues could help students socialisation process and of learning about respecting and accepting the diversity of all kinds better. Some more visual representations of diverse cultures and practices, and more practical tasks on valuing rights, dignity, tolerance, and empathy could benefit them further. Nonetheless, there is an essence of having skilled and qualified teachers who could play sincere roles in teaching such values in appropriate educational environments.

This research aims to explore the ‘Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP)’ of government’s current tobacco control measures among informal tobacco sellers in Bangladesh. The KAP survey method was applied for collecting information from 400 sellers over seven regional divisions in Bangladesh. The subsequent data analysis was performed using SPSS software to derive the findings from the survey. The study explores that more than half of tobacco sellers are tobacco consumers themselves, of which more than four-fifth consumed tobacco at their Point of Sale (POS). Majority of informal tobacco shops were found in the public places although these sellers reported their acquaintance with the government’s tobacco control Act prohibiting the tobacco usage in such locations. Indirect advertisement was prevalent in about half of those shops. Majority of the sellers used to sell tobacco to minors. About one-fifth of sellers received some form of incentive from tobacco companies while two-third of them received gift items. Since informal tobacco sellers, mostly mobile, reach out the largest pool of consumers making tobacco available near-at-hand, government’s current tobacco control regulations should encompass the informal economy of tobacco sales to prevent massive violation of tobacco control Act by these sellers.

The core objective of the study is to explore empirically the determinants of the capital structure measured in terms of leverage and the existence of linkages in the capital structure of the companies enlisted in the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) using the recent ten years’ historical annual data from 2006 to 2015. The theoretical attributes of the capital structure have been examined using the tangibles assets, profitability, size of the company, and growth opportunity as explanatory variables. Findings from the Feasible Generalized Least Square (FGLS) reveal that tangibility, size, and growth opportunity contributes positively to the capital structure whereas profitability impacts the capital structure negatively. These findings might have serious policy implications for achieving desired capital structure for the companies enlisted in the DSE. Social Science Review, Vol. 37(2), Dec 2020 Page 27-41

This article is concerned with the meaning of education for Santal and Munda communities, living in the Barind region. The aim of this paper is to document the narratives of Adivasis’ on education. What do they mean by education? What kind of situation did they experience in formal education? How they respond to the existing form of education. The article is written based on ethnographic material drawn from 8/9 months of frequent visit in the field of study. Data was collected by using semi-structured questionnaire, observation and participation. To Adivasis of Santal and Munda communities, education means to fight the mainstream society back, to act confidently, erase the stereotypical images they are labelled by the dominant group, and to get freedom from poverty; aspirations to overcome the conditions of graduated sovereignty and cultural politics. To consider the qualitative matter of social mobility, namely the aspiration in both the individual and community levels, the article proposes to look beyond the existing dominant analytical frame of educational access and exclusion. The analytical tools were developed following Appadurai’s concept of aspiration and Ong’s idea of graduated sovereignty. This article is a critical assessment of the marginal communities’ formal education and development and will contribute to ethnographic intervention in social anthropology and development studies, and contemporary debate on politics of education.

Governments around the world are encouraging private individuals, groups or organizations to join hand in hand in delivering better services to the citizens. Similarly, Government of Bangladesh has also initiated Public Private Partnerships (PPP) in its policies and strategies over the years. Mayor Muhammad Hanif Flyover (MMHF) is one of the key examples of large-scale project implemented under PPP in the country. The main objective of this paper is to assess the level of satisfaction of the service users of MMHF and associated factors that either facilitate or hamper user satisfaction. This study follows a mixed research method with both quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques; small scale survey and interview applied to cover primary sources and content analysis has been applied to get information from secondary sources. This study customizes TCV (time, cost and visit) model used by a2i to assess the efficacy of the use of MMHF. This study finds that most of the service users are satisfied with the time needed to pass through the flyover against the costs incurred and thereby they happily avail the flyover. Despite some challenges this PPP project has paved the opportunity to introduce more partnerships between government and the private sector. Social Science Review, Vol. 37(2), Dec 2020 Page 43-57
世界各国政府都在鼓励个人、团体或组织携手为公民提供更好的服务。同样，孟加拉国政府多年来也在其政策和战略中启动了公私伙伴关系(PPP)。穆罕默德哈尼夫市长天桥(MMHF)是巴基斯坦PPP模式下实施的大型项目之一。本文的主要目的是评估MMHF服务用户的满意度水平以及促进或阻碍用户满意度的相关因素。本研究采用定量和定性数据收集技术相结合的混合研究方法;小规模的调查和访谈应用于覆盖主要来源和内容分析已经应用于从二手来源获取信息。本研究定制了a2i使用的TCV(时间，成本和就诊)模型来评估MMHF使用的疗效。这项研究发现，大多数服务使用者对通过立交桥所需的时间和所产生的费用感到满意，因此他们乐于利用立交桥。尽管存在一些挑战，但这个PPP项目为政府和私营部门之间建立更多的伙伴关系铺平了道路。社会科学评论，Vol. 37(2)， Dec 2020第43-57页

The paper seeks to analyse the salient features of the kinship structure in Japan and how it plays it is significant role to form the traditional Japanese values. The paper also tries to analyse the changing nature of the kinship system in contemporary Japanese society from its traditional family (IE) system. The paper follows the qualitative method of research where the data has been collected from both academic and non-academic sources. By analysing the kinship structure of different periods in Japan, the paper finds that during the IE family system of the Tokugawa period, Japan gives less weight to kinship relations than other Asian countries. The feeling on son, either related to blood or adopted, marks the major distinction with other societies to find out the kin and non-kin. Following the IE system, the paper finds another two major events behind the weaken kinship structure in Japan: the emergence of koseki since the Meiji restoration and the rise of corporate culture during the contemporary period.

This paper aims to understand the background of development and draws a link to culture in the context of Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) - a post conflict region – to explore how the dispossession and commercialisation of culture in development planning is processing tension between different actors by reviewing secondary literature. The Indigenous people of Bangladesh have a longstanding history of struggle to achieve self-determination due to their institutional reference as ‘tribes’ or ‘ethnic minorities’. Denial of Indigenous peoples’ identity contributes to their discrimination and violation within the existing development concerns. The specific structural regulations and resource mobilization activities resulting from institutions – government, military, and powerful individuals - in areas inhabited by Indigenous people reflect the asymmetrical relations between Indigenous peoples and Bangalee actors. The conflict started in this region with the mobilization of ethnic majority Bangalee through the settlement programs in 1970s as a part of ‘development’ project, which later created tensions in this region due to the exploitation of people, land, and culture. As the government and ongoing military presence greatly shape ‘development’ for local people, the power relations between different actors facilitate the various forms of exploitative development projects. In addition, the ignorance towards integration of culture in development projects results in imposing threats to Indigenous peoples’ lives, livelihoods, and access to resources. This paper focuses on the economic expansions in this region from modernist perspectives drawing the example of tourism development in the CHT, which can marginalize and exploit Indigenous people in the making of ‘development’, Social Science Review, Vol. 37(2), Dec 2020 Page 87-103

Achievement motivation is a major secondary drive that makes a person strive towards challenging goals and achieving success. So, it is necessary to learn the measures of achievement motivation of the adolescents and take steps accordingly in the educational setting for their betterment. There is a lack of measuring tools of achievement motivation in Bangladesh. Considering the significance of the tool, the current study aimed to adapt the Deo-Mohan Achievement Motivation (n-Ach) scale in the Bangladeshi cultural perspective. The scale was adapted following the ITC guidelines and was administered on 228 adolescents aged from 13 to 19 years. The sample was chosen using the purposive and convenient sampling techniques. Collected data indicated satisfactory reliability (Cronbach’s alpha, test-retest reliability coefficient). Item analysis was done by calculating the item-total correlation. Content validity was checked by experts and correlation with Rosenberg self-esteem scale was measured to see the concurrent validity. Exploratory factor analysis was done to see the construct validity. Factor analysis results revealed that the 10 factors of the Bangla n-Ach scale together explained 58.33% of the total variance. Thus, the adapted version of Deo-Mohan Achievement Motivation (n-Ach) Scale is expected to be a reliable and valid scale to measure achievement motivation of Bangladeshi adolescents.

Thus, the adapted version of Deo-Mohan Achievement Motivation (n-Ach) Scale is expected to be a reliable and valid scale to measure achievement motivation of Bangladeshi adolescents. \u0000Social Science Review, Vol. 37(2), Dec 2020 Page 287-299","PeriodicalId":40271,"journal":{"name":"Catholic Social Science Review","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87534844","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}

The article presents the results of an innovative experimental study of pharmacotherapy of systemic autoimmune diseases in a pandemic of coronavirus infection is a timely and socially oriented way. The methodology of conducting a content analysis based on the theoretical principles of pharmaceutical and medical law and its components. Author used the method of drug selection developed by the Department of Medical and Pharmaceutical Law, General and Clinical Pharmacy of the Kharkiv Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education. Content analysis was performed by dosage forms by grouping them using the Sturgess formula, followed by the construction of discrete series of variations and distribution polygon. Received data made possible to state, that in some circumstances, doctors have a choice of both drugs and dosage forms. However, the data obtained show a lack of balance between supply and demand for patients and physicians. The analysis allows to obtain a complete description of the balance of "supply and demand" between the range and types of dosage forms of drugs INN Silymarin ATC code A05BA03, that approved for use.
