Title: Nutritional assessment of primary school children at Mathbaria upazila in Pirojpur district, Bangladesh
Abstract
To assess the nutritional status of primary school children at Mathbaria upazila in Pirojpur district of Bangladesh the study conducted during July-November 2014. The anthropometric results of the present study were interpreted using the WHO 2009 and CDC 2000 Z-score classifications. In this study, 46%, 40%, 24% and 56% of the children were found to be underweight, stunted wasted and thin respectively. Although the majority of the children were either mildly underweight (22%), mildly stunted (19%) mildly wasted (10%) or mildly thin (30%). Among underweight children boys (48%) were found to be higher than girls (43.2%), among stunted children girls (48%) were found to be higher than boys (31.2%), among wasted children girls (24.7%) were found to be higher than boys (22.4%) and among thin children boys (55.2%) were found to be higher than girls (44%). The students were more stunted (40%) than wasted (24%).The present study also found that the prevalence of overweight is 4% and 4% on the basis of WAZ and BMI for age z score respectively. In case of WAZ more boys (5.6%) were overweight than girls (2.4%) children but regarding BMI for age z score both boys and girls were same (4%) in overweight category. Besides, in case of WHZ 6.8% students were over height and more girls (9.6%) were over height than boys (4%). Finally, it can be concluded that, thinness (56%) was the most prevalent form of malnutrition and boys were more underweight and thin than girls and girls were more stunted and wasted than boys.

Title: Measurement of Knowledge Loss in an Organization: A Case Study
Abstract
In the competitive world, an organization can sustain in its business if its human resources are well maintained and utilized. Workforces are trained and made them fit to work in the organization. Their knowledge is used to get the desired result for the benefit of the organization. So, the knowledge gained by the workforce during their stay in the organization has got equal importance as compared to the profit the organization looking for. The knowledge that has been gained during the tenure of an employee in the organization is lost from the day he/she separates from the organization. The purpose of this paper is to establish that knowledge loss can be calculated in quantitative terms apart from qualitative statements and these quantitative terms of knowledge loss may help organizations for strategic decision on retention of knowledge through better understanding and visualization of loss. The study made in one of the units of a public sector organization in India having nine operative units across the country. This is an exploratory nature of case study, conducted open-ended interview. Primary data were collected from HR department and face to face interview with senior managers. Analysis done based on data collected and measurement of knowledge loss calculated. This paper established that knowledge loss can be calculated in quantitative terms using some formula based on certain data with respect to the employee in the organization in respective position.

Title: Analysis of risk based asset management plan to increase performance of water local company (PDAM) in aceh
Abstract
This study aims to obtain the concept of risk-based asset management planning with consideration of government regulations and international standards of asset management that can improve the Performance of Regional Water Company (PDAM) of Aceh Province. This plan consists of asset procurement plans, asset operating plans, asset maintenance plans, and asset deletion plans. Major risks that can occur in asset management planning include the mismanagement of asset needs, debt settlement failure and corporate financial failure, lack of strong local commitment, real loss, apparent loss, environment, lack of optimal planning and the use of operational costs effectively and efficiently, and the lack of subscribers due to the dominance of people who use groundwater that has an impact on the reluctance of people to buy water through PDAM.
