The effortless expansion of Internet access has eventually transformed the dissemination behavior toward E-Mode. Thus, the usage of online or, more specifically, “Digital” texts has expanded abruptly. “Bangla,” the seventh most spoken language globally, has no different nature. Communication in the Bangla language has also been exposed on the Internet, which describes the feelings of individuals in any specific context. These enormously generated data from diverse sources have drawn the interest of the researchers working in the Natural Language Processing domain. Despite its relatively complicated structure, a lesser amount of annotated data, as well as a limited number of frameworks and approaches, exist. This lacking of resources has kept several stones unturned in this diverse, emotion-rich, and widely spoken language. To bridge the lacking and absence of resources, this article aims to provide a generalized deduced working procedure in this domain. To do so, the existing research work in the domain of sentiment analysis using Bangla text has been collected, evaluated, and summarized. Also, in this article, the techniques used in pre-processing, feature extraction, and eventually used algorithms have been identified and discussed. Considering these facts, this research work sketches a tentative blueprint of sentiment analysis using Bangla text. Additionally, this article discusses existing regional language corpora such as Tamil, Urdu, and Hindi, as well as English and methodologies used to extract emotional essence from Bangla language comparing other languages. That will assist in determining the probable chosen path of exploring Bangla in a deeper aspect. Moreover, this work has deduced and presented a generalized framework that will direct aspiring researchers to decide the pathway of choosing data vis-à-vis methodologies based on their interests.

COVID-19 has changed almost all aspects of our lives. Governments around the world have imposed lockdowns to slow down the transmissions. Fortunately, we have found the vaccine, in fact, a good number of them. However, managing the testing and vaccination process of the total population is a mammoth job. However, there are always delays or data silo problems in multi-organizational work. Therefore, streamlining this process is vital to improve efficiency and save more lives. Because of its effective data sharing mechanism among different entities with a number of security features, blockchain can be an effective tool for different applications in the health sector. Furthermore, blockchain provides a distributed system along with greater privacy, transparency, and authenticity. In this article, we have presented a blockchain-based system that seamlessly integrates testing and vaccination systems, allowing the system to be transparent. The instant verification of any tamper-proof COVID-19 test result has been developed, which will serve as “Test Certificates”. A transparent and efficient vaccination system has also been exhibited and implemented as the “Digital Vaccine Passport” (DVP) system. The infection rate-based prioritization will ensure a transparent and fair vaccination process as well as tackle the distribution issue of the limited amount of vaccine. The comparative review with other existing works is also discussed, highlighting a clear difference from the existing works. Our proposed system is distinctive on the basis of prioritization of vaccines and seamless integration of test certificates and vaccine passports, which will aid in controlling the pandemic situation. This system will also be handy in the case of tackling any future pandemics initially.
