Comparative Financial Analysis of Conventional and Islamic Banks of Developing Countries

This study investigated the financial performance of Bangladesh’s State-Owned Commercial Banks,Islami Shariah Based Private commercial Banks and Conventional Private Commercial Banks over 12 years from 2006 to 2017.The objective of this study is to find out the financial performance of a bank based on CAMEL indicators.The finding of this study is that Islami Shariah Based Private commercial Banks and Conventional Private Commercial Banks has a good position than State-Owned Commercial Banks.Specific,Pubali Bank Limited,Standard Bank Limited,Prime Bank Limited,City Bank Limited and Al-Arafah Islami Bank Limited are in the best position in Bangladesh under this study.We also found that the performance of State-Owned Commercial Banks is not good.This study gives a policy implementation according to results.1.State-Owned Commercial Banks should restructure the infrastructure.2.It needs more emphasis on efficiency and effectiveness to control the cost and loan investment.3.It will be required to pay more in insurance premiums.4.It should be born in mine,for higher rating banks.We suggest to a higher number of rating banks that it’s hinders a bank’s ability to expand by investing,consolidating,or adding more branches.We also suggest to all lower rating banks.The institutions with a poor rating will be required to pay more in insurance premiums.

Assessment of public health research output by Bangladeshi authors:A scientometric study

The main objective of the study is to assess the growth and expansion of public health(PH)research works by Bangladeshi authors from various perspectives such as quantum of growth,patterns of collaboration, and productivity of authorship, among others. The present research uses a scientometric technique to examine secondary literature. Between 2000 and 2015, 871literature by Bangladeshi writers and 3,71,389 literature by worldwide authors on PH were retrieved from the Scopus database and evaluated using quantitative indicators to study growth and development from various perspectives. The highest growth in terms of the number of publications has been observed in the year 2015(133) and the lowest in 2001(10). The PR(Percent of Growth Rate) shows that 2001 was the deepest decreasing year(-38%) whereas 2002was the most increasing year(90%). During the study, RGR(Relative Growth Rate) values of Bangladeshi contributions to PH literature varied from 0.16 to 0.55, with an average of 0.27. The CC(Collaborative Coefficient) value indicates that during the research period, there was a substantial amount of collaboration among the authors. At the same time, the PPA(Productivity Per Author) value(0.31) denotes that throughout the era, each Bangladeshi author produced less than half of a publication per year. The mean Activity Index(AI) during 2000-2015 was 89.14,which reflects lower activity than the world’s average in PH literature. It was also observed that research productivity in public health of Bangladesh follows Lotka’s inverse rule of author production. According to the findings, there is a strong link between public health research output in emerging and developed nations.
