The Dhaka Times Desk We see people leaving the village and running towards the city. Such a trend can be seen in many developed countries of Europe and the world including Bangladesh. However, the opposite is happening in Germany. People are leaving the city and returning to the village!
Citing data from the country's central and state governments, the trend of living in villages increased after 2017 among young professionals aged 30 to 49 with children and young professionals aged 25 to 29. In this regard, researchers from the Berlin Institute for Population and Development said that people's attraction to the village is increasing day by day than in the past.
Frederic Zixtus, a social psychologist at the organization, said that in 2021, the population of two-thirds of rural societies increased. This fact was true for only 1 in 4 rural societies a decade ago. To understand the situation, researchers from the Vustenrot Foundation and the Institute in Berlin visited six rural communities with growing populations. There they also talked to different people.
A new resident said, 'I came to the village thinking a lot. The reason is that the bond between people is very strong here. Frankly, cost is a big factor when it comes to building something. Of course, it is very different in the village.' Researchers have understood that people are moving to villages because of such low cost of living, proximity to nature and pollution-free environment.
In this regard, social psychologist Frederic Zixtus said that many people are moving to the countryside because of the possibility of working from home after Corona. While the tendency to move to the countryside has increased in Germany, the situation is the opposite in other European countries. European Union agency Eurostat estimates that between 2015 and 2020, 355 of the EU's 406 rural areas moved to cities. In these areas, the number of people who are young and of working age has decreased significantly. Compared to that, the number of people over the age of 65 has increased by an average of 1.8 percent per year.

How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
