“…Solid tannery waste from the Hazaribagh area in the outskirts of Dhaka, Bangladesh, is used as the principal component of poultry feed, fish feed and fertilizers. It was found in the study that the amounts of Cr(VI) are significantly higher in six of the poultry samples ( 20 ). Common people regularly have these fish, chicken and duck.…”

Cancer is predicted to be an increasingly important cause of morbidity and mortality in Bangladesh in the next few decades. The estimated incidence of 12.7 million new cancer cases will rise to 21.4 million by 2030. More than two-thirds of the total expenditure on health is through out-of-pocket payments. According to the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, cancer is the sixth leading cause of death. International Agency for Research on Cancer has estimated cancer-related death rates in Bangladesh to be 7.5% in 2005 and 13% in 2030. The two leading causes are in males are lung and oral cancer and in females are breast cancer and cervical cancer. Bangladesh is now in severe shortage of radiation therapy machines, hospital bed, trained oncologists, medical radiation physicists and technologists. Bangladesh having different cancers associated with smoking and smokeless tobacco use, Human papilloma virus infection, Hepatitis B and C infection, Helicobacter Pylori infection, arsenic contaminated groundwater, availability of chemical carcinogens mainly formalin treated fruits, fish and vegetables at open market, tannery waste contaminated with chromium (which is used for poultry feed and fish feed preparation). A World Health Organization study revealed the annual cost of illnesses in Bangladesh attributable to tobacco usage is US$ 500 million and the total annual benefit from the tobacco sector is US$ 305 million as tax revenue. Bangladesh has developed a National Cancer Control Strategy and Action Plan with the aim of delivering a universal, quality-based and timely service. Cancer prevention through tobacco control, health promotion and vaccination program, cancer early detection program for oral cavity, breast and cervix has initiated. Cancer detection and diagnostic facilities will be made available at medical colleges and district- hospitals and establish a referral chain. National capacity development, more cancer research will allow Bangladesh to deal effectively and efficiently with the cancer problems through evidence-based decision making.

“…The heavy metals have several toxic effects on the body, viz. association of elevated blood pressure and hypertension with lead exposure; kidney malfunction due to long-term contact with cadmium in air, food, and/or water and damage of lungs and fragile from excess exposure (Martin et al, 2006); allergic reactions in skin, damage to lungs and triggering of asthma attacks (ATSDR, 2005), and cellular damage, mutation of cells and even cancer (Mazumder et al, 2013) from chromium exposure; and irritation of eyes, mouth and nose from long-term exposure to copper dust (Gerberding, 2004). Heavy metals can enter dairy manufacture through the burning of fossil fuels (atmospheric deposition), agrochemicals (pesticides), biosolids, land application of inorganic fertilizers, and animal manure (Nicholson et al, 2003).…”

“…It is evident that the industry is one of the major sources to the nation's economy, however, this has also brought major public health hazards and serious threat to the environment. Most of the tanneries follow chrome tanning process where chromium sulfate is used (Hossain et al, 2007;Mazumder et al, 2013). Therefore, industrial effluents that cause a wide range of environmental harm and health risks are of major concerns not only in developing countries such as Bangladesh but also in developed countries.…”

Educations world faces various challenges in the future. Due to that matter, media is real globalizations instrument to build character especially for the young generation.

This movie story about five students affected by the impact of globalization that manifested in hedonics lifestyle and away from the love of their country. Eventually, they realized when they began with program Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) in an isolated area. They finally understood that they could love Indonesia with simple way. The purpose of this research refers to this movie is trying to shift the defense of the concept of the nation. The theory in this research is semiotics, defense of the nation through the movie. This research uses social constructivism approach through analysis of Semiotics who tried to interpret by way of describing a sign through the meanings of connotation and denotation or ideology that is represented in the movie Salam Bela Negara. The result of this research, defense the nation not always relate with the military, but it could be applied in daily life through positive contribution.

“…Solid waste is boiled and then dried in the sun before using it as a component of poultry/fish feed. Boiling favors oxidation of Cr(III) to Cr(VI) and (Mazumder et al 2013). We believe it is possible to control the formation of Cr(VI) in these steps too.…”

“…al. has recently looked at Cr(VI) in the protein concentrate and in chickens of Dhaka, Bangladesh and the maximum value of chromium in the chicken was 177 µg/kg in the liver (Mazumder et al 2013). This work was further extended by Parvin and Rahman who collected chickens from almost all over the country and analyzed different body parts such as liver, gizzard, flesh and brain (Parvin and Rahman 2014).…”
