Correlation between urinary phthalate concentration and semen quality parameters

ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between urinary phthalate concentration and semen quality parameters.MethodsA total of 112 males with infertility in our hospital were set as infertility group. Another 65 healthy males who had given birth during the same period in our hospital were selected as control group. The semen samples obtained by urine and masturbation were collected in all the subjects. The semen quality parameters were detected by automatic color sperm quality detection system, and the concentrations of dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and Di 2-Ethyl Hexyl Phthalate (DEHP) in urine were measured by high performance liquid chromatography, and the correlation between concentrations of four phthalates and semen quality parameters was analyzed by spearman correlation coefficient.ResultsThe concentrations of DMP, DEP, DBP, DEHP and total phthalate in infertility group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). The sperm density, sperm survival rate and ratios of a+ b level sperm and forward movement in infertility group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.05), and the ratio of abnormal sperm was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.05). The concentrations of DMP, DEP, DBP and DEHP in urine were negatively correlated with sperm density, sperm survival rate and ratios of a+ b level sperm and forward movement (P<0.05), and were positively correlated with abnormal sperm ratio (P<0.05).ConclusionsThe concentration of phthalate is high in urine of infertile males, and its concentration is negatively correlated with semen quality. Phthalate accumulation may be one of the important reasons for male infertility.Key words: Urinalysis; Phthalate; Semen analysis; Infertility, male

State Analysis for Pump using Its Sound based on Sampling Rate Dependence of Fractal-Dimension

This paper addresses state analysis for pump based on the fractal dimension. For the state analysis based on fractal dimension, a contact type acceleration sensor has been used. We changed this sensor to a microphone which is no contact type sensor and measured with an actual pump. As the result, the fractal dimension calculated from the measured sound wave data was fluctuated depending on the state of the pump. And we confirmed that this method is useful for state analysis in equipment with complicated mechanisms which its abnormal frequency is not clear such as pumps.
C4 model in a Software Engineering subject to ease the comprehension of UML and the software development process

Software engineering provides the competencesand skills to design and develop robust, secure and efficientapplications that solve real problems. Students have to developtheir abstract thinking to find solutions taking into account notonly technical development, but economic and social impact. Inprevious years, different changes have been introduced in theteaching methods with significant outcomes. However, studentsare still facing difficulties with one of the core contents of thesubject, UML. For this reason, the present work aims tointroduce C4 model as a complement of the existing UMLdiagrams. This proposal uses the two first levels of the C4model to complement the requirements elicitation process,traditionally based only on use cases, to let students start thedesign of their systems without going into greater technicaldetails.
BLOCKCHAIN: A PANACEA FOR MEDICAL DATA ACCESS AND MANAGEMENT

Healthcare is a data-intensive domain where a very large amount of data is created, disseminated, and accessed every day. For example, data is created when a patient is admitted in a hospital. The main objective is to make sure that this data related to the patients are available across every hospital. This ensures that the doctors have a better knowledge of the patient’s history of ailments and provide better treatment to the patients. Typically, healthcare providers are interconnected by means of the Health Information Systems (HIS) allowing them to exchange medical data. However, the size of current HIS is limited to a set of hospitals or a given region, and therefore the common practice is that patient-related medical data are not available for exchange. This causes a major setback in providing patients with efficient treatment. This is because the history of treatment the patient has undergone is unavailable to the doctor who is treating the patient for the day. This is a major problem persisting in this country. However, it is possible to overcome the problem. A comprehensive solution is provided to this problem by maintaining a common database. Blockchain is used to make sure that the data stored in the database is not tampered. As a result, hospitals can share data related to the patients with ease and provide better treatment to them.
English Spelling Errors Committed by Blind Student at English Language Eduation

Since blind encode syllables by the sound as the unity of words, they tend to write the words as it is sounded. This affects their English spelling since English words are not spelled as it is sounded. The purpose of the study is to identify, to classify and to analyze the spelling errors committed by a blind student through the analysis of a blind student’s writing.  The study focuses on a single subject to be researched which is a blind EFL learner who is enrolled in English Language Education program. This study uses a qualitative approach by case study design. The data is analyzed by spelling errors of NFER’s classification (National Foundation for Educational Research) there are Omissions, Substitutions, Insertions, Transpositions and, Grapheme substitution. Out of 5 types of errors, the subject committed 4 errors which are Omissions, Substitutions, Insertions, and Grapheme substitution. The finding revealed that the error of Grapheme substitution was the highest number.

Working with SQL Server on Linux

As the staff at the rental car company handed me the keys, she briefly explained how they only have manual transmission cars available. She assumed I didn’t know how to drive a stick shift car just because I had a driver’s license from North America. I had to tell the story of how my elder brother taught me how to drive when I was 15 with a 1986 Suzuki Samurai jeep. Her face immediately lit up when I told her about the jeep – it was what her family drove when she was a kid. I guess the simple mention of the jeep brought up amazing childhood memories with her family.
유만주(兪晩柱) ≪흠영(欽英)≫에 나타난 중국고전소설 읽기

In his study of Yu Manju’s Heumyeong, he not only developed a more specific and systematic critique of Chinese novels, but also carried out an individual study focusing on Chinese novels. In the past, we studied the critical parts of Chinese novels independently from the traditional Korean and Chinese, and examined the meaning of the novel review and cultural history by choosing a comparative study method. In Korean literature, Yu Manju’s Heumyeong focuses on cultural aspects of the Joseon Dynasty, on the aspects of diary literature with various materials, and on the evaluation. On the other hand, Chinese literature only compiles a list of Chinese novels presented in Yu Manju’s Heumyeong. Looking at Yu Manju’s views on Chinese novels will be an important research foundation in understanding the process and type of Chinese novel reading by Korean writers during the Joseon Dynasty.They organized their opinions in an objective period with more abundant data than previous researches. No writings have been found on Chinese novels more closely than Yu Manju’s Heumyeong. As such, Heumyeong is definitely a remarkable record for supporting and loving Chinese novels. In the 18th century, Joseon was in a special political and social situation. The process of getting a Chinese novel or buying a Chinese novel and recording it were not easy, either. Nevertheless, you can find records of Chinese novels of many writers at that time. In order to study more comprehensively and objectively, we studied Chinese novel reading and review of 18th century Chinese novel, breaking away from previous research that mainly covered criticism of Chinese novel in Yu Manju’s Heumyeong.
Alignment Data Base for a Sign Language Concordancer

This article deals with elaborating a data base of alignments of parallel Franch-LSF segments. This data base is meant to be searched using a concordancer which we are also designing. We wish to equip Sign Language translators with tools similar to those used in text-to-text translation. To do so, we need language resources to feed them. Already existing Sign Language corpora can be found, but do not match our needs: working around a Sign Language concordancer, the corpus must be a parallel one and provide various examples of vocabulary and grammatical construction. We started with a parallel corpus of 40 short news and 120 SL videos , which we aligned manually by segments of various length. We described the methodology we used, how we define our segments and alignments. The last part concerns how we hope to allow the data base to keep growing in a near future.
The Mediating Effect of Organizational Innovation on Employee Performance within Public Sector Organizations in Dubai

This study aimed to empirically explore the mediating impact of organizational innovation on employee performance in Dubai government organizations. Theoretical evidence denoted that organizational innovation had a mediating impact on employee performance through augmenting the effects of other impactful constructs for instance transformational leadership and job happiness. The research in conducting the study, considered the relationships between the effects of different constructs on employee performance in public sector organizations in the government of Dubai. Apart from organizational innovation, the other constructs whose effects on employee performance in the organization were investigated in the study included transformational leadership and job happiness. The research noted that there existed very few studies that empirically examined the mediating role of organizational innovation on employee performance in the workplace. Building on preliminary evidence of literature and experience, this research postulated that organizational innovation had a mediating impact on employee performance in the organization through augmenting the effect of job happiness and transformational leadership on the same. The study employed structural equations modeling via PLS to analyse 682 valid questionnaire responses from 28 Government of Dubai Organizations. The findings indicated that organizational innovation played a mediating role in the relationship between transformational leadership and job happiness and the performance of employees in the workplace. The data used in this study was thoroughly purified through multiple steps to ascertain that it did not bear any outliers. On arriving at the hypothesis testing, the data remaining did not indicate any multicollinearity or overlapping effect. The construct of organizational innovation showed resoundingly strong mediating influence on employee performance in comparison with other constructs. Research noted that, while transformational leadership and job happiness played a stronger direct role in impacting the performance of employees, it was essential that the leadership of the organization adopt an innovation-oriented approach to leadership in order to have better impact on performance among the employees.
대학생의 학업동기신념 프로파일에 따른 수업참여, 문제행동 및 학업부정행위의 차이

The purpose of this study was to explore college students’ academic motivation profiles in Korea and to investigate how their profiles relate to their class engagement, academic misbehavior, and academic dishonesty. A total of 2,477 college students from Korean Education Longitudinal Study 2012 data provided the sample for this study. Using Latent Profile Analysis, a five-profile model of ‘high efficacy and high mastery goals’, ‘high achievement goals’, ‘moderate motivation’, ‘low efficacy and low performance goals’, and ‘very low performance goals’ was chosen as the final model. There were significant differences in the students’ class engagement, academic misbehavior, and academic dishonesty depending on their motivation profiles. The ‘high efficacy and high mastery goals' profile showed the most adaptive results whereas the profiles with low achievement goals showed lower engagement, and higher levels of academic misbehavior and academic dishonesty. In addition, the students with high mastery and high performance goals (i.e., ‘high achievement goals’) demonstrated significantly higher levels of misbehavior during class and academic dishonesty than those with high mastery and low performance goals (i.e., ‘high efficacy and high mastery goals’). Implications of the research findings for college education are discussed.
The Impact of the Development of the Bankıng Sector On Economic Growth: The Case of Mena Countries

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of banking sector development on economic growth in the period of 1991-2017 for eight MENA countries. Credit to the private sector were used as an indicator of financial depth to represent the development of the banking sector. In this study, in which eight MENA countries are discussed, new generation panel data analysis was applied for the relationship between variables. In order to determine the long-term relationship between the development of the banking sector and growth, a horizontal cross-section dependency test was used first. Panel bootstrap cointegration test developed by Wester Lund and Edgerton (2007), which takes into account this situation by determining the dependency between horizontal sections, was used. According to the result obtained, it is seen that the development of the banking sector and economic growth act together in the long term. As a result of cointegration, the coefficients of the variables were analyzed with the Augmented Mean Group estimator. However, the homogeneity of the slope coefficients for the entire panel was determined using the delta test. A 1% increase in the banking sector in MENA countries has been found to increase economic growth by 0.66%. It is seen that the development and deepening of the banking sector in economic growth policies will play an effective role in achieving the goal. In this context, increasing financial access and efficiency is thought to support economic growth.
