Abstract
This study highlights the role of computer based Python programming (which is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level computer programming language with dynamic semantics) in carp aquaculture by delivering precise and efficient growth assessments. The condition index of the cultured species, Cirrhinus cirrhosus, showed variations across the three ponds, namely Pond 1 (P1), Pond 2 (P2), and Pond 3 (P3). By addressing the hydrological parameters impacting pond performance and harnessing Python programming technologies, aquaculture practices can be optimized for greater productivity and sustainability. Future research should aim to improve the accuracy of Python-based models and explore new applications to further advance aquaculture practice.

Abstract
Maintaining optimal CO2 levels in patient wards is crucial for ensuring the health and safety of patients and healthcare staffs. This paper explores the various factors that influence CO2 levels in critical patient wards such as ICUs, burn wards, and operating theatres of Behala Balananda Brahmachari Hospital and Research Centre in Kolkata (India). Factors such as ventilation, patient density, the presence of indoor plants, room occupancy, and design are discussed. Additionally, permissible CO2 levels are examined based on guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). Effective strategies for monitoring and managing CO2 levels are also outlined. The present paper has great significance as CO2 level within the healthcare units impacts the health and wellbeing of

Abstract
Bangladesh, renowned for its thriving tea industry, relies heavily on the labor and contributions of tea workers. The socioeconomic conditions of these workers in a different sociolinguistic setting have been a subject of concern due to their vulnerability to various challenges and inequalities. This paper aims to investigate and analyze the socioeconomic circumstances of Bangladeshi tea estate workers, shedding light on their living standards, income levels, access to basic amenities, and overall quality of life. The primary purpose of this research is to assess the income levels and financial stability of tea workers. Additionally, the study will examine the provision of social security benefits, including healthcare, housing, and education focusing a theory of Marxism. Furthermore, the research will delve into the working conditions and labor rights of tea workers. The study will analyze aspects such as occupational safety, availability to drinking water and facilities for sanitation, and adherence to labor laws and regulations. The findings of this research will contribute to the existing literature on labor and socioeconomic conditions at their sociolinguistic context in Bangladesh and provide valuable insights for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and organizations involved in the welfare of tea workers. It is hoped that the study will serve as a foundation for developing targeted interventions and policy reforms aimed at improving the overall well-being and livelihoods of tea workers in Bangladesh.

Abstract
The population of street children in Bangladesh, has been increasing in recent years, along with a rise in substance misuse among this demographic. Glue inhalation is a prevalent occurrence among street children in numerous underdeveloped nations, including Bangladesh. From the different study based evidence found that glue sniffing problem exposing the children to various health and social hazards, such as respiratory problems, brain damage, addiction, violence, and stigma in the country. The authors conducted the study to assess the socioeconomic factors that influence glue sniffing among street children in the commercial capital city of Bangladesh including the effects on their lives and well-being. This study utilized a self-administered, inquiry-based questionnaire, and a survey was completed by authorized, trained personnel. The study finds that glue sniffing is mainly driven by poverty, family breakdown, peer pressure, and lack of education and opportunities. The study also reveals that glue sniffing has negative impacts on the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of the children, as well as their social relationships and future prospects. The study recommends that effective interventions should address the root causes of glue sniffing and provide comprehensive support and rehabilitation for the affected children. The study also suggests that further research is needed to understand the dynamics and diversity of glue sniffing among street children in different contexts and settings. This study is anticipated to facilitate the implementation of systematic measures for the cessation of drug usage, thereby supporting long-term rehabilitation programs for these children and safeguarding each child's right to a secure and healthy existence.
