Chowdhury, Muhtasim Ahmed
This paper aims to evaluate the implications of TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) in the realm of streaming services. The paper investigates the various dimensions of user acceptance based on the theoretical framework of TAM. The paper also investigates the relationship among TAM variables in relation to demographic characteristics such as gender, age, education level, and user experience. The study was conducted in order to understand the acceptance level of streaming services based on a dominant theory of technology acceptance.
The streaming service is a market that is currently experiencing exponential growth, therefore understanding the user acceptance of such services allows the academicians to understand the reasons behind such a massive growth in the streaming content consumption worldwide. The study highlights that the streaming service is going under transformation and the need for novelty is continuously increasing to stay relevant in the market. A critical review of the existing literature shows that there is a paucity of academic literature regarding the implications of TAM in the domain of streaming services; hence the paper aims to bridge the aforesaid gap. This study will allow the participants in the industry to understand how the user interface of the applications or platforms used can influence the acceptance level of users of various streaming services.
The primary objective of the study was to evaluate a set of relationships among the TAM variables: Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Subjective Norms & Trust, Attitude towards Use, Behavioral Intention to Use, and Actual Use. The study also aimed to examine whether there is any relationship between the demographic variables (Gender, Age, and Education) and the aforesaid TAM variables. The study was conducted on the basis of the responses from 230 respondents which were collected primarily on the basis of purposive sampling technique.
The findings of the study show that Subjective Norms have a positive impact on Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use. Similarly, Trust has a positive effect on Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use. The construct Perceived Ease of Use has a positive association with Perceived Usefulness. Attitude towards Use was found to be positively related with Behavioral Intention to Use, which was found to have a positive association with Actual Use. But the study didn’t find any statistically significant variations in the TAM variables across demographic characteristics of the respondents in term of Gender, Age, and Education. In general, the study found that the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) can explain the acceptance of the streaming services by the Bangladeshi users,
The study adds theoretical and practical knowledge for adopting the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in understanding the acceptance of the streaming services by the Bangladeshi users. The study sheds light on how Bangladeshi streaming service providers can implement TAM framework for the purpose of ensuring acceptance of their services by the target users.

Siddik, Raima Shahrin
In this study, Comparison and comparison are used across a number of dimensions of the pension and retirement savings systems in Bangladesh and the United States. In addition, a synopsis has been provided of the compilation of knowledge and skill obtained over the term of the internship. This report's objective is to detail the strategy that Data-Path Ltd.'s plan followed and the activities that were taken to implement it. In the first half of this subject, we will discuss the retirement system in the country of America. Even in a lone being in charge, it is typical practice for government and non-government organizations in the United States, as well as sole proprietorships, to adhere to several distinguishing features of the United States retirement policy. This is true even in the case of a sole proprietorship. This savings plan has grown in popularity in recent years due to the following factors: government law, people's willingness to set aside money, people's right to know, contribution to the home country's economic growth, and contribution to the nation's economy. The federal government of the USA is fully conscious of the importance of safeguarding retired people's rights and providing them with financial stability in retirement, and it is dedicated to fulfilling these obligations. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of Labor (DOL) are two government agencies that determine the standards that firms must follow in order to administer retirement benefit schemes and provide benefits for retirement to its employees. Furthermore, the pension system allows the company's staff to save money on taxes associated with the organization's revenues. The Bangladesh Retirement Industry is also briefly described in this chapter. Multiple pension plans, both public and private, are available. Most private businesses lack any kind of structure or organization. Gratuity, benevolence fund, group insurance, and other retirement perks lack suitable rules. I looked for major distinctions between the retirement systems of the USA and Bangladesh. Everything from governmental regulations to individual rights to economic contributions to dependencies to benefit levels to others varies. In the last chapter, I presented various results that I had discovered. On the basis of these findings, I made a few suggestions, one of which was that the government should be concerned about and forthright in its efforts to protect the rights of retired individuals. It is feasible that a structured policy might be put into effect if the government decides to alter or reorganize the existing policy. Additionally, Bangladesh's provident retirement fund will get assistance from this research in order to be improved.

Hemal, Hasan Mahmud
The Happiness Index is extensive survey instrument that measures happiness from different areas of a person’s life which is also known as comprehensive measure of wellbeing. In another words, it generally indicates the satisfaction level and happiness of different countries. This research study was conducted to analyze the relationship among the World Happiness Index (WHI) and four selected variables including inflation (INF), corruption (COR), employment (EMP), air pollution(AIP). A comprehensive dataset comprising information from 218 countries was largely collected from the world happiness report and world bank database. The dataset spans from 2012 to 2019. The data that the author collected were in different forms. For this reason, the dataset has to be changed in the standardized from to do the analysis. In this research, the author utilized the correlational method to see the relationship among the five variables where two statistics software have been used (IBM SPSS and gretl). These test were utilized to establish significant relationships among the identified variables using a 5% level of significance. By analyzing the result, the author has concluded that there is a weak negative relationship between inflation and the WHI, a weak positive relationship between corruption and the WHI, a moderate positive relationship between employment and the WHI, and a weak negative relationship between air pollution and the WHI. In conclusion, the study claimed that, “the subjective well-being or Happiness” depends on the performance of countries based on the given socio-economic and environmental factors like inflation, corruption, employment, and air pollution.

Taky, Mohtasim
In Bangladesh, the dependability of financial statements necessitates a customized approach to
audit processes. This study examines the intricacies of this rapidly changing country, where
distinct business contexts, complicated legal frameworks, and developing corporate
governance standards impact audit risk. The importance of internal controls, the involvement
of the ICAB and Bangladesh Bank, and the prevalence of fraud and mistake risks are just a few
of the important variables we examine when it comes to audit procedures. We also investigate
the efficiency of customized processes such as risk assessments and analytical reviews in
reducing these risks in the Bangladeshi setting. In the world of financial reporting, audit risk—
the potential for providing an incorrect opinion as a result of substantial misstatements in
financial statements—presents a formidable obstacle. It is much more crucial to recognize and
reduce audit risk in Bangladesh's changing environment. This paper explores the nuances of
audit risk in the Bangladeshi setting, examining the major variables that affect its frequency,
identifying the many kinds of risk that arise in local audits, and suggesting practical approaches
to risk reduction. Finally, in light of Bangladesh's changing environment, this report suggests
a framework for adaptable audit processes to protect the integrity of financial reporting.
