Abstract:

This study explores the female are overcoming the odds and doing well as journalist during the last decade in Bangladesh. Female journalists are contributing to the society for economic prosperity and changing the attitude towards the development concept and process. But the path is not smooth for involving women in journalism. The findings are female journalist facing many barriers like family pressure, Society problem, pay-allowances, gender discrimination, sexual harassment and even lack of workplace. According to their skill and merit, they face problems in getting maternity leave and assignments. But their role in this sector cannot be neglected. It is possible to survive if have the passion, professionalism, and love on this profession. Day by day, the female participation in journalism sector is increasing in Bangladesh. Despite the barriers， female journalists are showing strong interest in journalism as a career. As much gender balance in Mass media as the women's freedom and scope will increase. As a result, the spread of female’s workplace in the media will spread. Good number of female journalists is working in different policy making positions of the organization. In future, experienced female journalists will be more because now day's they taking challenges and working religiously according to the company and public need. In recent time Bangladesh is encouraging her women to work outside of home. Currently, a significant change has come into the social attitude which represents by women’s advancement in journalism sector of Bangladesh. This study uses the survey method and 6 depth interview to find out a fruitful result. As a sampling, the study uses purposive sampling technique to collect the data from the 120 female respondents of television, online and print media journalists.

Abstract:

Reconstruction of the historic natural and anthropogenic effects on lake ecology has been of increasing concern to protect and improve degrading ecosystems. The dates of the Changshou Lake sediment core were estimated using Lead-210 (²¹⁰Pb) Constant rate of supply (CRS) and Constant Initial Concentration (CIC) models. While historic records such as Cesium-137 (¹³⁷Cs), C/N signals and rainfall erosivity are used as multiple proxies of the reality of the sediment profile dates. The results showed that the combined use of ¹³⁷Cs and ²¹⁰Pb chronologies using the CIC model at Changshou Lake is an effective way to address the average sedimentation rate of (1.65 cm y-1) and consistency between the estimated dates. Whereas, the CRS model estimated relatively older ages for the Changshou Lake native river bed and a misleading average sedimentation rate of (0.09 cm y-1) due to possible turbidity flows or preferential association of ²¹⁰Pb with organic matter. Alternate dating index logically reconstructed the lake ecological variations for total organic carbon, total nitrogen and carbon to nitrogen ratio with respect to historic natural and anthropogenic activities in the catchment. It can be concluded that the CIC dating model provided reliable sedimentation rate and age estimates as compared to ¹³⁷Cs and multiple proxies proposed dating index, whereas the CRS model was not suitable for dating sediment from Changshou Lake. There is a need to investigate advanced techniques for sediment dating problems at Changshou Lake.
