Abstract
Biofortification, which is the development and dissemination of micronutrient-dense staple crops such as orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSP), is an effective approach to provide rural households with a low-cost source of vitamin A-rich food. Given that sweetpotato is cultivated twice a year in Western Kenya, high OFSP uptake should increase the frequency of intake of vitamin A among young children and women. The current study aimed to understand the influence of OFSP adoption and its intensity (i.e. share of OFSP in sweetpotato area) in improving women and children’s dietary diversity and intake of vitamin A-rich food. Data were analysed from the endline study of a 5-year, integrated agriculture–health project in Western Kenya. The project linked access to OFSP vines to public health services for pregnant women. In total, 1,924 mother–child pairs (children <2 years of age) were randomly selected in four intervention areas and four control areas. Two-stage instrumental variable and ordered logit regression models were employed to test the effect of adoption. Diagnostic tests for endogeneity and misspecification were conducted to confirm model validity. Two indices were identified: first, a dietary diversity index (9 food groups consumed in the previous 24 hr); second, an index of the frequency of consumption of vitamin A-rich foods during the 7 days prior to the interview. Not surprising, staple foods are the dominant food group, with less frequent consumption of nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables. The surveyed households reported consuming starchy staples (91%), dark green leafy vegetables (80%), fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin A (26%), other fruits and vegetables (58%), organ meat (2%), meat and fish (32%), egg (11%), legumes (31%), and milk products (80%). Women and children in households growing OFSP had 15% and 18% higher dietary diversity index scores, respectively, than those not growing OFSP. Similarly, the index capturing frequency of intakes of vitamin A-rich food was 10% and 20%, higher for women and children in OFSP growing households, respectively, than those who do not grow. Age of household head, mother’s education, wealth index, and the sweetpotato plots have a positive effect on the dietary diversity and frequency of vitamin A intake. Households with limited access to a health facility, larger household size, and mother engaged in casual labour have less diversified diets and consume vitamin A-rich food less frequently. Both OFSP adoption and the share of OFSP area have positive influence on dietary diversity and vitamin A intake for both women and children under 2 years in Western Kenya

To evaluate traditional neonatal beliefs and care practices among urban and rural residents and assessing predictors of early initiation of breastfeeding, a cross-sectional study was conducted in two districts, Lahore and Rawalpindi of Pakistan. A total of 218 mothers having infants (< 2 years of age) were interviewed through collecting information through a questionnaire. In the logistic regression analysis, presence of professional birth attendant (P-value = 0.012, OR = 3.909), sterilization of feeding bottle (P-value = 0.013, OR = 3.280) and knowledge about reason of vaccination (P-value = 0.010, OR = 2.058) we re significantly associated with urbanization. Maternal education was significantly associated with correct timing to start weaning practice, breast milk was sufficient for infant, hand washing practice before breastfeeding, good cord care, vaccination status, reason of vaccination and knowledge about Jaundice in neonatal period (P <0.05). The results of multivariate ordinal regression showed that young literate mothers ((P < 0.001; OR = 3.192) started breastfeeding earlier than the elder and illiterate mothers. Furthermore, the women with normal delivery (P < 0.01; OR = 0.301) and low socioeconomic class (P < 0.10; OR = 0.339) started breastfeeding earlier. Among 218 mothers 44.5%, newborns were bathed immediately. A significant proportion of mothers 77.1% reported giving prelacteals as fi rst feed. Majority of mothers 30.7% apply oil on umbilical cord. also, 72.5% mothers administered gripe water to their infants. Traditional risky newborn care practices stress the need for promoting health education programs on improving newborn care practices.

Determinants of Methane Emission in Bangladesh: Time Series ResearchFarhin Islam
Environment-related sustainable development goals are often less prioritized in developing countries. But as an agricultural country, methane emission is an important issue in Bangladesh. This paper became Champion in 2nd Bangladesh Economics Summit. With ARDL bounds testing approach, we found that Environmental Kuznet Curve does not hold for Methane in Bangladesh both in short run and long run.
We think the SDG 8, 11, 12 are the most crucial SDGs for Bangladesh and we need to focus on them. In a presentation competition, our team "Econheads" presented these slides.
What you must know about Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)Farhin Islam
The slides explain the definition, criteria, benefits, and determinants of FDI inflow in a country. Lastly, it focuses on the pattern of FDI inflow and the leading investors in Bangladesh

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

24. • Accessibility of safety net and micro credits
should be extended.
• Family planning initiatives may have great
impact on reducing child food insecurity.
• Agriculture sector occupations should be
made more attractive.
• Education should be promoted.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
25. • Modern and integrated use of seeds and
fertilizers, improved infrastructural support
should be introduced to the farmers.
• Training of farmers is needed to cope with the
changing situation.
• Improvement in income earning opportunities
should be made so that households can
increase their expenditure on food.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
26. • Data taken from one country (Bangladesh).
• Food security measured in calorie requirement
dimension only. Other possible dimensions
are: Dietary Diversity, Vulnerability to food
deprivation in future etc.
• Individual information missing.
