A social change theory for interpretation of the migration flows of the Bangladeshi labor emigration by P. Shаhanaz

“…The network model of migration, even though it partially fixes this problem, can still not explain the emergence of enclaves of Bangladeshi citizens in hosting countries.The theory of social changes, with some modifications originating from the network approach and the “governmentality” approach, might however explain the distribution of Bangladeshi emigrants abroad, and it has been assumed, that this theoretical development sheds light on the studied problem and its causes. According to this theory, the Bangladeshi emigration is one part of a global process, which creates a global civilization from a number of previously independent societies. …”

Assessment of Cassava Peel Ash as a Partial Replacement of Cement in Plain Concrete Production. by Byamukama, Dan

“…It was concluded that CPA replacement of 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% showed no significant loss in strength compared to the control sample and is stable and could be acceptable in most concrete works and other percentage replacements up to 20% can be used for light structures. At the long run cassava peeling that currently constitutes waste concern in south western Uganda can best be managed through alternative use.…”
