Predicting Interest of Beginner-Level Engineering Students for Better Career Using Classification Method

Abstract: At the beginning of the university, students often face confusion in career choices. Most of the students cannot understand what field they are interested. There are many existing systems where some researchers have worked with fresh graduates and some with selected tenth or twelfth-grade students to help them get an idea about one career option. However, those research works failed to help them choose a domain of interest from many opportunities in their field. Therefore, this research aims to propose a system for predicting interest of beginner-level engineering students for better career planning at an early age. This analysis gives a chance of finding students interest in four specific demanding fields (web development field, graphics design field, Android development field, and data science field). This research starts with collecting primary sources of data using structured questionnaires. The data are preprocessed for creating a well-formed dataset. Then, the research is done in two parts: statistical analysis (Chi-square test and binary logistic regression analysis) and machine learning analysis (decision tree, SVM, and multinomial logistic regression). In machine learning analysis, appropriate features are selected first, then build the models. The results from both parts are then evaluated using a confusion matrix and choose the best prediction. The research shows noteworthy results with respect to existing works.

Potential Public Health Threats to Ready Made Garments (RMG) Workers During COVID -19 in Bangladesh: A Call for Actions

Abstract: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become the most critical and greatest global health disaster of the century that the humankind faced since the Second World War. The public authorities of different countries are continuing the lockdown period to mitigate the probable dispersion of the virus. Though continuing lockdown is minimizing the impact of COVID-19 in several countries, it is affecting the economy of the countries at the same time inversely. The apparel industry is considered as one of the most vulnerable sectors. Bangladesh is not an exception to that, as it is the second-largest Readymade Garment (RMG) exporter following China. The suppliers were struggling with financial issues and could not pay the legal wages to the workers. Thus the ultimate impact of COVID-19 fell upon the workers of this sector. They became the most victim due to the order cancellation and delay order shipments. Millions of RMG workers in Bangladesh were started to face layoffs or furloughs. The overall condition led to re-open some garment factories during the lockdown by following proper instructions regarding COVID-19. However, the situation became worst when the workers were not maintaining the health instructions. Therefore, the RMG factories should ensure that the workers are maintaining the minimum distance between each other. A collaborative approach of the government authorities i.e. Department of Inspection for Factories and Establishments (DIFE), Industrial police, and the local police authorities, should be materialized in ensuring the safety measurements along with other preventive measurement strategies.

It also analyses the impact on sovereign bond and its yields, the stock, gold, derivatives and forex markets, including the impact on financial institutions, it uses graphical illustrations from Bloomberg to back the analysis. It further assesses the measures taken so far by policy makers and financial institutions to curb the situation. It finally considers the impact of the crisis on financial landscape and lessons learnt from it.
