ShahrierBangladesh has completed thirty-seven years of journey as an independent state since 1971. Among this period of on-going, the first two decades (1971-1990) of its politics are marked by a series of successful and abortive military coups, movements for the restoration of a democratic system, rigged elections, an ineffective legislature, and omnipotence of chief executives who misused the constitutional institutions and administration to materialize their personal ill wills. After the fall of H.M.Ershad Bangladesh entered into a new era by reintroducing parliamentary form of government in 1991 by the Twelfth Amendment of the Constitution.Item Price Inflation in Bangladesh: How to cope with it?(Premier University, Chattogram, 2009) Ayon, Tonmoyee HasanPrice inflation or simply inflation, which is defined as the continual or persistent rise in the general price level has a special connotation in economics. Inflation reduces purchasing power of money thereby reducing aggregate demand in the economy, other things remaining unchanged. Inflation also affects the distribution of income. Overall, it creates a sense of uncertainty among the consumers as well as the producers. This is why macroeconomic policies of any government are often directed towards controlling inflation. The rise in the inflation rate has prompted two views of the sources of higher inflation in Bangladesh. One is the demand - pull inflation that occurs when aggregate demand (AD) in an economy outpaces the aggregate supply (AS) and the other is the cost -push inflation which is typically caused by supply shocks (natural calamities such as flood,, drought, international price hike, etc.). Hence it is crucial for Bangladesh to formulate policies to curb present inflation for which, however, the magnitude, nature and causes of inflation are needed to be carefully studied. It is said that inflation is not necessarily bad. Creeping inflation is almost universally acceptable. Economic theory suggests that there is a trade-off between inflation and unemployment.Item Uplink Scheduling Algorithms in IEEE 802.16 Broadband Wireless Access Systems: A Survey(Premier University, Chattogram, 2009) Iqbal, Shahid Md. Asif; Monir, Mohammad Iftekhar; Sayeed, TaufiqueWiMAX is one of the most important broadband wireless technologies and is anticipated to be a viable alternative to traditional wired broadband techniques due to its cost efficiency. WiMAX supports multimedia applications such as voice over IP (VoIP), voice conference and online gaming. It is necessary to provide Quality of Service (QoS) guaranteed with different characteristics for Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) networks. However, the actual version of the standard does not define a Media Access Control (MAC) scheduling architecture in uplink as well as downlink direction. Efficient scheduling design is left for designers and developers and thus providing QoS for IEEE 802.16 BWA system is a challenge for system developers. The scheduling architecture must ensure good bandwidth utilization, maintain the fairness between users and respond to the constraints of some applications (i.e. video, voice). A good number of articles are available to analyze the performance of the standard. To analyze these studies, a survey based on the scheduling mechanism or method used in the different propositions is presented in this paper. Some studies are based on traditional algorithms and other studies use new methods and mechanisms that are proposed for the new standard in order to provide QoS.Item Editorial & Contents(Premier University, Chattogram, 2009)Item Beckett's Waiting for Godot: An Analysis of Lucky's Enigmatic Speech(Premier University, Chattogram, 2009) Ali, Chowdhury Mohammad; Chowdhury, Mainul HasanBeckett's Waiting for Godot can be a linguistically challenging text which provides deep insight into the psychology of human speech. That our language shapes out of the jelly of words in the Chomskian deep structure becomes the pivot of Beckett's language experimentation in the form of nonsense that we often dissolve in in the moments of intense feeling. Lucky's speech is one of the most subjective and the most poetic of the moments in the play. Besides, the speech is also reflective of the structure of the play. This essay aims at bringing out the intensity of the feeling breaking the apparently haphazard linguistic structure, and thereby showing the meaning of the ostensibly meaningless existence.Item Human Rights Violation by the Law Enforcing Agencies: Bangladesh Perspective(Premier University, Chattogram, 2009) Alam, Badiul; Chowdhury, Tanzina AlamIn today’s era of globalization, human right has become a world wide concern. In a second, in a single button-press of remote, people can know the human rights situation around the world. Bangladesh is not out of the bad image regarding human rights violation. Unfortunately, the situation in Bangladesh is worsening and frequently it has been becoming the headline of international press and electronic media. It is really frustrating to know that the state itself is the worst violator of human rights instead of being protector of it. To many extents, law enforcing agencies are held responsible for massive violation of human rights. Torture, assault, arbitrary arrest, police brutality in the peaceful assembly and atrocity towards the women are a common phenomenon in our day to day life. Extra judicial killing in the .name of cross-fire, encounter, line of fire have become very popular weapon in order to maintain law and order situation in a short-cut way. RAB, Chetah, Kobra all these elite forces are supplemented to mainstream police force under unconstitutional way in the name of curbing terrorism. Role of judiciary is significantly ignored by the law enforcing agencies since the weapon of cross-fire is in their hands. Army deployment in the aid of police department is a very favorite event for the government and it never cares how many peoples died of heart-attack under such deployment. The procession of death in cross-fire started with the killing of Pitcchi Hannan (an alleged top terror) and still it is a never ending story. Alarmingly, people do not have any faith on the law enforcing agencies about their honest will, skill and capability. Rather they consider that a situation could be more easily handled if the police would not be involved in the matter. They never treat police as friend rather an enemy, alien. This article is to look into the root causes behind the non-confidence of people on the law enforcing agencies as their aide and to find a way out of the problem making them pro-people, public-friendly and ultimate guardian of human rights.
