Cross-sectional study of infertile males with toxoplasmosis in Baghdad province

Toxoplasmosis is a zoonotic disease caused by a protozoan parasite called Toxoplasma gondii which infect all mammals and birds species throughout the world. some studies shows that toxoplasmosis have adverse effect for male reproductive system, parasites are isolated from different parts of animals even from semen but there are little information about the effect of toxoplasmosis on fertility in animals and humans. The present investigation dealt with studying the prevalence of chronic toxoplasmosis with in infertility patients. A total number of 83 individual, in which 64 infertile male patients, Include 25 males with primary infertility and also 39 males with secondary infertility. Blood were collected in a period between April 2104 and August 2014. Serum samples were studied for determination of chronic infection with toxoplasmosis, by using ELISA technique. This study showed clearly that 23 (27.7%) of individuals participated in this study having IgG Toxoplasma Ab, among those 3 samples (15.8%) were control, 20 sample were infertile and the infertile group sub divided in to 6 (30%) primary infertility and (14 70%) secondary infertility. The Toxoplasma infection have no effect on male reproductive parameters.
Impact of Work Environment on Teachers’ Job Satisfaction A Case Study of Private Business Universities of Pakistan

The main purpose of the study was to check the relationship between work environment and teachers’ job satisfaction in private business universities of Karachi, Pakistan. The factors that include in work environment are freedom of teachers, involvement of teachers, management policies, co-workers’ relationships and employer – employee relationships used as independent variables and teachers’ job satisfaction used as a dependent variable. The structured 5 points likert scale questionnaire was used to collect the data from 105 private business universities’ teachers from Pakistan. The data was analyzed through SPSS 17 by using statistical tools such as descriptive statistical, Pearson correlation and simple linear regression. The results indicate that there is a positive relationship between all factors of work environment and job satisfaction in teachers. Research also found that the employer – employee relationships is most important factor of work environment in private business universities of Pakistan. It is suggested that the universities’ management should focus on favorable work environment particularly the factor of relationship between employer and employee to increase the job satisfaction amongst teachers, which may lead to higher performance. As research only was conducted with teachers of private business universities of Pakistan, it cannot be generalized to all sectors of country. Variables and sample size should be increased in the future research to get the better results.

Efficacy of The Metacognitive Training on Brain Injured Subjects

Metacognitive and Theory of Mind difficulties are among the most debilitating and long-lasting consequences of acquired brain injury. Nevertheless, a few studies have investigated the impact of cognitive rehabilitation on their recovery, especially after brain damage. An interesting approach in this field can be found in the Metacognitive Training by Moritz and colleagues, which was originally structured for psychotic subjects. The main aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of such a training in improving metacognitive functions and social competences in a group of subject with acquired brain injury and frontal lesions. The Metacognitive Training was adapted to neurological patients and was performed twice a week for three months. Each group session lasted one hour. The outcomes highlighted a significant enhancement of metacognitive abilities, while an absence of significant improvements was found in the Social Competence Inventory, probably due to the reduced duration of treatment or to the topics treated during each session, not specifically focused on social cognition. In spite of that, the Metacognitive Treatment demonstrated its effectiveness also in the case of neurological damage.
Optimizing Power requirements of Cloud Services during Virtual Machine Live Migration

- Cloud computing is gaining more importance gradually in the field of computing services with the support of data centers across the world. A large number of enterprises and individuals are opting for cloud computing services for resource requirements. The number of requests for services is raising in cloud computing, which leads to increase in power consumption of data centers with high pace. This caused the rise in ownership cost of service providers and harmful carbon footprints into the environment. Therefore, it is imperative to optimize the power requirements in data centers to mitigate the cost of ownership and to make it environment-friendly. In today’s era, virtualization plays a significant role to minimize power consumption during virtual machine live migration in data centers. This paper presents the hybrid genetic algorithm that provisions various virtual machines to hosts in such a way to optimize power requirements of cloud services during virtual machine live migrations. Simulation experiments have been carried out with a variety of characteristics as input to Power Optimizing Genetic Algorithm with different allied parameters of migration. Results have shown that proposed genetic algorithm optimize power consumption and migration overhead with defined test problems as compared to recent virtual machine placement method. The statistical approaches have been applied to validate the reliability of the simulation results.
DCA Using Genetic Algorithm in Mobile Cellular System

: The demand for mobile communication has been steadily increasing in recent years. With the limited frequency spectrum, the problem of channel assignment becomes increasingly important, i.e. , how do we assign the calls to the available channels so that the interference is minimized while the demand is met. This paper exploits the potential of the Genetic Algorithm to solve the cellular resource allocation problem. It is an optimization problem and the genetic algorithm is efficiently applied to handle this. As the number of channel is usually limited and therefore should be reused. So this paper investigates on DCA. The performance of the system is evaluated in 64 hexagonal cell arrangement having 20 channels. Numerical results show that the average call blocking probability of the system is lower than the fixed channel assignment.
Practical Use of Stairs to Assess Fitness, Prescribe and Perform Physical Activity Training

Aim: Evaluating climbing stairs for prescription and implementation of physical activity regimes. Methods: Healthy females (F, n = 14), and males (M, n = 15) participated. By climbing 100 steps of stairs with 0.173 m height, Heart rate (HR) and oxygen uptake were measured throughout the floors; Blood pressure (BP) was measured at ground and the 5th floors only. Results: Energy increased from 2 to 7.6 was metabolic equivalents (METs = 3.5 ml O2/min.kg) at 17.3 m elevation in 2 min. at the 5th floor, and percent Heart Rate Reserve (%HRR) was 66.17% in F and 48.7% in M, proportional to their aerobic efforts. Average climbing efficiency was 15.8 ± 2.3% (n = 29). Aerobic capacity estimated dividing the highest work rate (17.3 Kg.m/2min.Kg × 0.00239 = 0.0207 Kcal/min.Kg), by fractional effort (F = 0.6617, M = 0.487) and fractional efficiency (0.158), at 5 Kcal/L O2 was 0.040 in F and 0.054 L O2/Kg.min in M. Minimum training intensity reached at the 3rd floor by F. In M the highest %HRR reached was 48.7% at the 5th floor, insufficient for training. Conclusions: Stairs used for submaximal evaluation of aerobic capacity and for target intensity prescription. Training, levels climbed, repetitions per day (if 5, 100 Kcal per day, ascending) and number of days/week are adjusted. Full regime requires up to 7.6 METs, a total of 532 and 140 MET.min/week ascending and descending, respectively. Intensities >7.6 MET, climbing rate should be >8.65 m/min. Limiting ascent to 1 (3.5 METs) or 2 (5.5 METs) floors or only descents (2 - 3 METs) may be used for unfit subjects. This method is useful for those with no access to sophisticated facilities.
Risk and protective factors influencing children at risk for overweight and obesity in low-income, single female, primary caregiver households: An exploratory qualitative study

RISK AND PROTECTIVE FACTORS INFLUENCING CHILDREN AT RISK FOR OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY IN LOW-INCOME, SINGLE FEMALE, PRIMARY CAREGIVER HOUSEHOLDS: AN EXPLORATORY QUALITATIVE STUDY By Sara N. Lappan Obesity has risen to epidemic levels in the United States (US) and affects individuals from all socioeconomic levels and ethnicities. Children of low-income, single female, primary caregiver households are at higher risk for being overweight and obese, particularly if they are members of ethnic minority populations exposed to permanent contextual adversity. Therefore, the most deleterious impacts of the epidemic are experienced by low-income and under-served ethnic minority populations. Both adult and childhood overweight/obesity are associated with devastating and costly health problems, reduced life expectancy, stigma, and discrimination. Although efficacious obesity intervention programs exist, their impact continues to be limited among underserved populations. Couple and family therapists can offer a relevant contribution to alleviate this health problem due to the profession’s systemic training and strengths-based orientation. This study consisted of an exploratory qualitative design with a thematic analysis approach. Data were gathered from 16 low-income, single, female, primary caregivers who were predominantly Black/African American (56.25%) of children between 3 and 8 years of age. Indepth interviews focused on exploring risk and protective factors associated with healthy eating and regular physical activity, two critical components for addressing the disease. Additional findings will facilitate obesity-focused interventions, and better inform practice and research.
Spatial Modulation Based MIMO-OSDM for 4G Wireless Systems under Rayleigh Fading Channel

— Because of the enormous capacity upsurge a MIMO systems offer, such systems gained a lot of interest in mobile communication research. One indispensable problem of the wireless channel is fading, which occurs as the signal follows multiple paths between transmitter and receiver antennas. Fading can be mitigated by diversity, which means that the information is transmitted not only once but several times, hoping that at least one of the replicas will not undergo severe fading. There are various coding methods, a main issue in all these schemes is the exploitation of redundancy to achieve high reliability, high spectral efficiency and high performance gain for MIMO-OFDM systems earlier. In this paper, we are going to introduce an orthogonal spatial division multiplexing in which divide the central signal streams into both time and frequency. Also to increase the spatial diversity we are going to introduce spatial modulation along with STBC for our new MIMO-OSDM. Experimental results show that, proposed system outperform the existing MIMO-OFDM system in terms of performance measure for various modulation schemes.
Microbiology of Neonatal Gram-Negative Sepsis in A Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). A Single Center Experience

Background: Sepsis is still a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality especially when caused by Gram-negative bacteria. The causative organisms and their susceptibility to antibiotics vary among units. Empiric antibiotic therapy is based on the likely pathogens and their susceptibility pattern in a NICU. This study aims to identify, in a cohort of neonates diagnosed with Gram-negative sepsis, the bacteriological profile and the antibiotic susceptibilities as well as to evaluate the appropriateness of the empirical antibiotic coverage. Material and methods: In this retrospective observational study, all Gram-negative pathogens isolated in the blood culture of neonates admitted to the neonatal unit in a tertiary referral hospital between January 2011and December 2015 were analyzed. Demographic data, causative organisms, antibiotic susceptibility, empiric therapy and outcomes were collected and analyzed. Results: Of the 2732 neonates admitted to NICU, 80 infants (2.9%) had a blood culture-proven sepsis with a Gram-negative pathogen. Klebsiella pneumonia was the commonest causative organism. Sensitivity to gentamicin and meropenem were 95% and 99% respectively. Mortality, necrotizing enterocolitis, periventricular leukomalacia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, intraventricular hemorrhage, retinopathy of prematurity was more prevalent in affected infants. Conclusion: In our unit, neonatal sepsis caused by gram-negative organisms was highly sensitive to aminoglycosides. Almost all cases Gramnegative sepsis were adequately covered by carbapenem.

Heterosis and combining ability studies for fibre quality traits in inter-specific hybrids of cotton (G. hirsutum L. × G. barbadense L.) over environments

The present study was conducted at three locations during kharif 2014-15 with 72 inter-specific hybrids along with their parents and two standard checks to study standard heterosis and combining ability for different fibre quality traits. Combining ability analysis indicated the presence of additive gene action for 2.5% span length and uniformity ratio whereas micronaire value, bundle strength, fibre elongation and lint yield plant were controlled by non-additive gene action. Among the lines ADB 532 and BS 37 and the testers TCB 37 and SUVIN were found to be good general combiners for 2.5% span length and bundle strength. The hybrid, MCU 5 × GSB 40 for 2.5% span length and bundle strength and H 1442 × GSB 41, TSH 0250 × GSB 40, ADB 542 × DB 16 for lint yield plant exhibited high per se performance, high and significant positive sca effects and standard heterosis. The cross combinations which are showing high standard heterosis and sca effects may be recommended for commercial cultivation after further confirmation of their stable performance over different locations and years.
The Effect of National Characteristics on Corporate Disclosure Practices: A Case of ASEAN

This paper aims to extend existing literature by indicating the linkage between national institutions and disclosure practices based on a perspective of a group of developing countries, namely ASEAN. Using a sample of 111 non-financial listed companies in five ASEAN countries, covering Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, from 2011 to 2015, the empirical result reveals that the extent of corporate disclosure in ASEAN is positively related to the level of regulation quality at 99% confidence levels and positively associated with the level of rule of law at 95% confidence levels, meaning that businesses tend to disclose more information when government agencies provide suitable policies that help to facilitate business growth and serious concern about the quality of contract enforcement. On the other hands, the finding also demonstrates that the level of corporate is negatively connected with the level of political stability and absence of violence, the level of government effectiveness, and the level of control of corruption, meaning that the level of corporate disclosure in ASEAN would be increased when the national environment is unstable and improper for investing in new projects, the government lacks capabilities to promote economic development, and the country has a high rate of corruption. The paper contributes to international disclosure literature by extending an understanding of the effects of national factors on disclosure practices. Distinct from the mainstream of disclosure literature, the obtained results could provide empirical evidence not only for regulators who want to reinforce the regional regulations.
