    Notes: Utilisation of health services is a complex behavioural phenomenon. Empirical studies of preventive and curative services in Bangladesh have often showed that the use of health services is related to the availability, quality and cost of services, as well as to social structure, health beliefs and personal characteristics of the users. The present paper attempts to examine factors associated with the utilisation of healthcare services during the postnatal period in Bangladesh by using prospective data from a survey on maternal morbidity in Bangladesh, conducted by the Bangladesh Institute of Research for Promotion of Essential and Reproductive Health and Technologies (BIRPERT). Both bivariate and multivariate analyses of the data confirmed that the mother's age at marriage had a significant and positive impact on the utilisation of quality healthcare services. The husband's occupation also showed a strong impact on healthcare utilisation, indicating higher use of quality care for postpartum morbidity by wives of business and service workers. The bivariate analysis showed that the number of pregnancies prior to the index pregnancy and desired pregnancies are significantly associated with the utilisation of postpartum healthcare. However, the results of this study were inconclusive on the influence of other predisposing and enabling factors, such as maternal education, the number of previous pregnancies, the occupation of the husband, antenatal care visits during pregnancy and access to health facilities. Multivariate logistic regression estimates did not show any significant impact of these factors on the use of maternal healthcare.

    Notes: Abstract Precipitation was collected on an event basis from July 1994 to August 1995 at towns around the capital Dhaka of Bangladesh. The major chemical components were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry, UV-Visible spectrophotometry and ion selective electrode method. The concentrations of nitrate and sulphate were found to be below the minimum detection limit of 1.0 mg L- 1; the concentrations of Cl-, Na+, K+, Ca+2, Mg+2 and NH4+ ranged from 〈1.0–3.03, 0.14–1.70, 0.04–0.37, 0.04–1.30, 〈0.02–0.20 and 〈0.10–2.33 mg L-1, respectively. The values of pH and conductivity ranged from 4.80–6.74 and 3.3–37.5 μS cm-1, respectively.

    Notes: Abstract The isolation of six of the seven possible additions of barley chromosomes to the wheat genome reported 18 years ago has made an important contribution to gene mapping in barley, first with genes controlling isozymes and more recently DNA (molecular) markers. A fertile addition line involving barley chromosome 1H,which carries genes controlling several characters of economic importance, could not be isolated at that time because it caused extreme meiotic abnormalities leading to complete sterility when added to wheat. Later the short arm of barley chromosome 1H was added to wheat as a fertile ditelosomic addition, but the non-availability of the entire barley chromosome 1H addition line has hampered the location of barley genes to the long arm of this chromosome. This problem has now been overcome cytogenetically as described herein. The resultant self-fertile disomic-monotelodisomic addition line carrying a pair of barley chromosome 6H and a heteromorphic 1H/1HS pair is more stable, and makes the wheat-barley addition line series complete for gene mapping work and will provide a vehicle for the possible transfer of useful genes from this barley chromosome to wheat.
