THE FREQUENCY OF ELEVATED PROLACTIN LEVEL IN POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME WOMEN (PCOS) AND ITS' EFFECT ON PREGNANCY RATE

Introduction: Prolactin is a hormone secreted from anterior pituitary gland which has different functions throughout the body of the fertile females. Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may exhibit a mild elevation of serum prolactin level. High prolactin level can affect the fertility potential causing ovulatory dysfunction. Even those with normal ovulation, failure of producing a sufficient amount of progesterone after ovulation may occur which resulted in a deficient endometrium; less liable for embryo implantation( luteal phase defect). Thus, this research is aimed to study the frequency of elevated prolactin in women with PCOS and to evaluate its' effect on pregnancy rate. Methods: Fifty-three infertile females were included. They divided in to two major groups: Group I: females with PCOS and Group II: females with no PCOS. Both groups sub-divided in to two subgroups: Group A with serum prolactin more than 20 ng/dl and Group B with normal serum prolactin 2-20 ng/dl. All females were included in ICSI program followed by assessment of pregnancy rate in both groups. Results: The study was showed that 69.44% of women who suffered from PCOS had an elevated serum prolactin level with a mean of 31.17±10.24. Pregnancy rate was lower in the females with high serum prolactin level in both PCOS and non-PCOS women. Conclusion: Hyperprolactinemia is more frequent in the females with PCOS than normal ovulatory females. Elevated serum prolactin level negatively affects implantation and decreases the chance of getting a pregnancy following ICSI.
Heterogeneous and Distributional Effects of Mexico’s Health Insurance for the Poor on the Supply of Healthcare Services

We analyze the effects that the expansion of Seguro Popular (SP), Mexico’s universal health insurance program, has had on the human and material resources needed to meet the new demand. Unlike previous evaluations, we use Sanitary Jurisdictions (SJs) as units of analysis and operationalize SP’s intervention as a continuous treatment indicator (relative number of recipients). Estimates using a variety of propensity score approaches suggest that, on the average, SP has effectively had a positive impact on Mexico’s health resources. However, quantile and interaction treatment effects suggest that the program may be leaving behind some of the most vulnerable geographical areas.
CHANGES IN FUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT SKILLS CAUSED BY A GYMNASTICS TREATMENT IN PRESCHOOLERS

The aim of this research was to determine gender differences in fundamental movement skills acquisition under the influence of a specialized gymnastics treatment. A total of 58 preschool children took part in this research and were divided in two groups (34 boys and 24 girls). „Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency 2” (BOT-2) for fundamental movement skills assessment was administered prior to and after the 10-week gymnastics treatment. Results showed initial differences between genders where girls outperformed boys in 5 out of 8 variables while the final testing showed differences only in the balance and running speed and agility tests in favour of girls. It can be concluded that the treatment was not adequate for the girls and that they could not fully improve their level of fundamental movement skills. The difference probably occurred because of the different type of activities that boys and girls practice in their free time.
Sensory Ethnographies of Sport Three Methodological Considerations

The sensory character of fieldwork has been increasingly used as part of ethnographic investigations. Sport, however, seems to be lagging behind when it comes to exploiting this element. For that reason, this article seeks to illustrate the potential of making sensory diversity a premise, rather than an afterthought, for ethnographies of sport. Based upon trans-local fieldwork at six FIA World Rally Championship events, as well as other examples from sensory studies of sport, it is argued that by exploring the sense-based experience of fans and how it shapes their view on sport, we get a broader picture of their affiliation with it. By discussing the uses of the senses as ethnographic ‘instrument’, the role of the researcher and issues related to qualitative analysis, this article offers practical advice on how to use this approach in the field.
MORPHOLOGICAL, BIOCHEMICAL AND GENETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF CITRUS CANKER PATHOGEN (XANTHOMONASAXONOPODIS) FROM CITRUS CULTIVARS OF PUNJAB, PAKISTAN

The objective of the present study was to identify citrus canker pathogen (Xanthomonas axonopodis) and disease severity among different citrus cultivars collected from citrus growing area (CRI) of Punjab, Pakistan. Morphological, biochemical and molecular markers characterized the pathogen. Total 95 samples were collected from grapefruit (C. paradis), kumquats (C. japonica) and lemon and limes (C. limon) and subjected to biochemical analysis by API strip. Three different primer sets targeting 16SrDNA and internally transcribed spacer region (ITS) were used to check genetic variability by PCR. The infectious pathogen colonies were found to be small, yellow, mucoid and gram negative by gram staining. The oxidase, urease tests were negative and casesin hydrolysis, citrate utilization, methyl red test, catalase tests were positive for the pathogen via API strips. All the collected samples were positive for the disease by PCR and the disease severity was also measured by percentage mean. The highest disease severity (82%) was observed in grapefruits followed by lemon and limes (70%) while the lowest (30%) was in kumquats. The present results revealed that citrus cultivars have variability towards the susceptibility of citrus canker and phylogenetic analysis revealed that A type citrus canker is prevalent in selected region of Pakistan.
Preliminary statement

ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTIONS OF STUDENTS AT PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES IN TRANSITION ECONOMIES This paper investigates the entrepreneurial potential among students at private universities in two transition countries through the analysis of students’ entrepreneurial intentions (EI). Empirical analysis is based on survey data we collected in 2017 and 2018 from over 400 students of economics and business at private universities in North Macedonia and Croatia. The theory of planned behaviour and a set of other antecedents are employed in order to examine the effect of both personal-level and contextual variables on entrepreneurial intentions. Assessing the students’ image of an entrepreneur and how they evaluate the entrepreneurs’ social and economic roles in society, as well as the prestige of an entrepreneur when compared to other professions, offer valuable inputs for policy makers aiming to improve the entrepreneurial potential and business climate in developing economies. This study provides empirical evidence of the positive effect of two variables from the theory of planned behaviour (personal attitude towards entrepreneurship and subjective norm) on entrepreneurial intent of business students at private universities in transition countries. The most striking result of the study is the positive effect of perceived barriers (as a contextual variable) on entrepreneurial intent, a (cid:222) nding that is contrary to past research and literature review.
DISCECTOMIE CERVICALE ANTÉRIEURE AVEC OU SANS GREFFE DANS LES CONFLITS RADICULAIRES Résultats à long terme

Objectif. - L'abord anterieur du rachis cervical dans les compressions radiculaires est une operation frequemment pratiquee en Neurochirurgie. Le but de cette etude est d'evaluer a court et surtout a long terme les resultats de la discectomie cervicale avec et sans greffe. Materiel et methodes. Entre janvier 1984 et mars 1999, nous avons opere 101 patients porteurs d'une radiculopathie cervicale par voie d'abord anterieure. L'operation a porte sur un seul niveau dans 74 cas, 2 niveaux dans 25 cas et 3 niveaux dans 2 cas. Sur 130 niveaux operes, 84 ont ete greffes. L'evaluation a ete effectuee par une consultation a court terme avec des cliches dynamiques et par contact telephonique a long terme a l'aide d'un questionnaire detaille. Le suivi a ete obtenu dans 91 cas avec un recul moyen de 54 mois chez les patients greffes et de 45 mois chez les patients non greffes. Resultats. - Les resultats post-operatoires a court et long terme etaient bons dans 95 % des cas dans les deux groupes. Nous avons eu 8 complications post-operatoires, toutes chez des malades operes avec greffe. Cinq patients ont ete re-operes a un niveau sus-ou sous-jacent; parmi eux, 4 patients ont ete operes de greffe et un l'a ete sans greffe. Conclusion. - Les deux techniques sont comparables en terme de resultat a court et a long terme. La discectomie sans greffe est associee a moins de complications, moins de douleur post-operatoire, un temps operatoire plus court et une diminution du cout de l'intervention.
Attracting FDI to the Western Balkans: Special Economic Zones and Smart Specialisation Strategies

This paper investigates the role of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in the Western Balkans in supporting industrial policy for economic development. It shows that Serbia and North Macedonia have both implemented policies to establish networks of SEZs that have attracted a relatively large amount of new foreign direct investment, mainly into the motorcar and components industries. Although many jobs have been created and some improvements in export competitiveness have occurred, there is no evidence of improvements in labour productivity or widespread technology spill-over to local economies. The import intensity of production is extremely high, implying little linkage to local economies. The qualitative interviews further reveal limited linkages between SEZ-based companies and local businesses, limited technology transfer, and a lack of appropriate skills among the workforce. In particular, there is insufficient capacity in the motorcar components supply chain. The paper concludes that governments have used SEZ policies as an alternative to regional and local development policies based on smart specialisation. In order to take advantage of the opportunity offered by SEZs, governments in the region should put more effort into developing local supply chains, aligning their policies towards SEZs and smart specialisation in order to leverage the advantages of an increased inflow of direct foreign investment for sustainable economic development in the future.
The latent reservoir as a barrier to cure

The past few years have seen a remarkable process of coalescence in which several distinct areas of AIDS research have been brought to bear on the search for a cure. The development of effective combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) in the mid-1990s initially raised hopes for a cure because plasma levels of HIV fell quickly to undetectable levels in treated patients (1–3). However, simultaneous studies demonstrated the presence in infected individuals of resting memory CD4+ T cells harboring stably integrated viral genomes that did not produce infectious virus while the cells were in a resting state but could do so following T cell activation (4, 5). With the subsequent demonstration that this latent reservoir could persist indefinitely, even in the setting of optimal ART (6–11), hopes for a cure faded rapidly. In fact, cure became an almost taboo subject because of concerns that discussing cure would raise unrealistic expectations in infected individuals that this reservoir could ever be eliminated. In the meantime, steady improvements were made in the tolerability and convenience of ART regimens, such that infected individuals can now maintain indefinite suppression of viral replication to clinically undetectable levels on single-pill, once-daily regimens that have few side effects (12). Recent studies suggest that infected individuals starting treatment early with modern regimens have near-normal life expectancies (13–16). The success of ART is one reason that there has been renewed interest in HIV cure. In addition, recent studies, beginning with the pioneering work of David Margolis and colleagues, have indicated that the latent reservoir can be perturbed in vivo with latencyreversing agents (LRAs) (17, 18). Importantly, the revival of optimism for HIV cure was further stimulated by the remarkable case of Timothy Brown, a courageous patient with HIV infection who received a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) for leukemia from a carefully selected donor whose cells were resistant to HIV infection (19, 20). To date, Mr. Brown is the one and only person considered to be cured. His case gave rise to renewed hope that the problems posed by the latent reservoir could be overcome. In this issue of the JCI, a distinguished group of experts review exciting recent developments in the HIV cure field and describe how research discoveries in the areas of HIV pathogenesis, vaccines, and treatment are all now contributing to the search for a cure.
Decreasing Computational effort using a new multi-fidelity metamodeling optimization algorithm

High-fidelity simulation models are used extensively in engineering optimization. However, most of them require a large number of analyses and high computational effort. Consequently, a new multilevel optimization approach is developed for multidisciplinary structural design optimization based on multi-fidelity modeling to decrease computational effort. Such method is a composition of a statistical estimating method reducing the required number of experiments and a continuous variable Metaheuristic algorithm. It starts with an integrated grid of sample points, and then updates them based on the accurate analysis response and replaces low-fidelity to high-fidelity where needed as well as the high-fidelity analyses, which are far enough from the optimum results, would be omitted according to the corresponding low-fidelity responses. Some examples have been presented to show the influence of the algorithm on the computational effort and the results represent higher performance and lesser number of analyses as compared to different optimization techniques like Ant Colony and Genetic Algorithm. It is shown that the algorithm decreases the high-fidelity computational cost, demonstrates the noticeable effectiveness of the presented method.
Motor Imagery of Hand Actions

How motor maps are organized while imagining actions is an intensely debated issue. It is particularly unclear whether motor imagery relies on action-specific representations in premotor and posterior parietal cortices. This study tackled this issue by attempting to decode the content of motor imagery from spatial patterns of Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) signals recorded in the frontoparietal motor imagery network. During fMRI-scanning, 20 right-handed volunteers worked on three experimental conditions and one baseline condition. In the experimental conditions, they had to imagine three different types of right-hand actions: an aiming movement, an extension–flexion movement, and a squeezing movement. The identity of imagined actions was decoded from the spatial patterns of BOLD signals they evoked in premotor and posterior parietal cortices using multivoxel pattern analysis. Results showed that the content of motor imagery (i.e., the action type) could be decoded significantly above chance level from the spatial patterns of BOLD signals in both frontal (PMC, M1) and parietal areas (SPL, IPL, IPS). An exploratory searchlight analysis revealed significant clusters motorand motor-associated cortices, as well as in visual cortices. Hence, the data provide evidence that patterns of activity within premotor and posterior parietal cortex vary systematically with the specific type of hand action being imagined.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF DYNAMIC EFFECTS IN MOISTURE TRANSFER IN BUILDING MATERIALS

In relation to moisture storage in porous materials, it is often assumed that the process dynamics do not affect the moisture retention. There is mounting evidence though that this notion is incorrect: various studies demonstrate that the moisture retention is influenced by the (de)saturation rates of the moisture transfer processes involved. The available evidence primarily stems from imbibition and drainage experiments on soils however, and compared to many other porous media, these tests consider rather permeable materials with relatively dominant liquid transport at comparatively large (de)saturation rates. The current knowledge may thus not be directly transferable to moisture transfer in porous media on the whole, and dedicated further research is required. This paper responds to that need, by reporting on an experimental investigation of the occurrence of dynamic effects on moisture transfer in building materials. Drying and ad-/desorption tests are executed on two building materials, in which moisture contents and moisture potentials are measured simultaneously. These are translated into dynamic retention relations and dynamic storage coefficients, which both distinctly demonstrate that moisture transfer in building materials, similar to moisture transfer in soils, is not free of dynamic effects. The findings imply that the widely accepted static theory for moisture storage in porous media is not generally valid and should be corrected for the occurrences of dynamic effects. Considering that such drying and ad-/desorption processes are dominant features in very many instances of moisture transfer in porous media, the repercussions of these findings may be large.
Effect of Adrenaline, Fentanyl and Warming of Injectate on Shivering following Extradural Analgesia in Labour

This prospective, controlled study was undertaken to determine whether addition of adrenaline or fentanyl to bupivacaine or warming of the injectate had any effect on the incidence of shivering following extradural analgesia in the labouring parturient. Eighty-four patients were sequentially allocated to four groups (control, warm injectate, extradural adrenaline and extradural fentanyl). The adrenaline group had the highest incidence of shivering, the warm injectate and fentanyl groups the lowest. Extradural fentanyl also seemed promising in reducing shivering in pre-block shiverers. This paper also explores the rapidity of temperature decay of solutions of bupivacaine in different clinical situations.
Diagnosis and Clinical Features of Children with Language Delay

Objective: To determine the diagnosis and investigate the clinical features of children with language delay. Method: One hundred seventy-eight children who were referred to the Developmental Delay Clinic for the evaluation of suspected language delay were prospectively enrolled. Multidisciplinary assessment was done by a physiatrist, pediatric neurologist and pediatric psychiatrist. All patients took speech evaluation, full battery of cognitive assessment and hearing test. Results: The common diagnoses of children with language delay were mental retardation (MR), specific language impairment (SLI) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the order of frequency. The early developmental history showed delay of acquisition of motor milestone in MR group. The brain magnetic resonance image (MRI) and single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) findings couldn't help to distinguish the brain pathology in SLI, MR and ASD. The result of speech evaluation showed more severely involved in ASD and MR rather than SLI. Conclusion: In the clinical assesment and management of the children with language delay, the comprehensive assessment which includes cognition and personal-social area as well as language itself would be helpful for the understanding and setting up the therapeutic plan of these children.

Mapping linguistic data : essays in honour of Liliane Haegeman

In varieties of English, the combination of would and rather (also: sooner/as soon/as well) can be followed not just by a bare infinitive (as in they would rather leave) or by a finite clause (they would rather (that) I (would) leave), but alsobyan infinitivewithanaccusative subject (as in they would rather me leave), which can even be coreferent with thematrix subject (Iwould ratherme leave). This short paper focuses on this AcI-infinitival construction. It shows that the infinitival clause is a fully clausal complement of rather, capable of harbouring sentential negation and constituting a local binding domain for its subject, whose accusative is not an assigned case. The paper closes on some remarks about the evolution of this construction, against the background of the form and distribution of the subjunctive. Sentences of the type in (1) feature a degree-modified dispositional adjective or adverb (rather, sooner, as soon, as well) followed by a bare infinitival clause with an accusative subject.1 (1) a. they would rather me leave b. they would sooner me leave c. they would just as soonme leave d. they would just as well me leave 1Though this construction seems particularly commonwithme (representing the speaker) as the accusative subject of the infinitive, it is not restricted to me, as witness sentences such as I would rather him/her/us//them be happy. Though the initial exemplifications in (1) are made-up sentences to keep them simple and directly comparable, the bulk of the examples in this paper are attested sentences culled from the internet, and checked with native-speaker linguists. In what follows, exemplification will generally be confined to rather.
Narrative economics: how stories go viral and drive major economic events

A well-known proposition of modern psychology, termed the representativeness heuristic by authors Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky (1973), is that people form their expectations based on the prominence of an idealized narrative rather than estimated probabilities. Shiller gives the example that we judge the danger of an emerging economic crisis by its similarity to a remembered story of a previous crisis rather than by any logic.
