RESEARCH OF POLYNOMIAL APPROXIMATION OF FORCES IN ROD ELEMENTS OF CORRODING STRUCTURES
Authors: Zelentsov D.G. , Brychkovskyi O.D.
Published: August 2023

The paper considers the problem of polynomial approximation of the "force - time" depend-encies in the elements of corroding hinged-rod structures from the point of view of the in-fluence of the degree of the polynomial on the error in calculating their durability. A method for determining the coefficients of approximating polynomials is proposed, which is based on the use of a numerical-analytical algorithm for solving a system of differential equations describing the corrosion process. The results of numerical experiments are presented, illus-trating for various constructions the dependence of the error in solving the problem on the degree of approximating polynomials.

Authors: Akhila KH , Nedumaran G
Published: August 2023

One of the pressing concerns facing the globe today is environmental conservation. It puts pressure on all sectors of the economy, including financial services, to implement “green” projects that offer environmentally friendly services. Banking and financial institutions can take proactive measures, such as minimising their extensive use of paper and establishing the notion of “green banking” at their multi-branch institutions. This study examines how consumers regarding these practises. This study focuses on the expanding environmental issues surrounding green banking initiatives, the environment’s perspective on green banking, and the types of banking activities started to safeguard the environment.In 2002, the banking industry adopted the ground-breaking idea of “green banking.” A new idea in our economy is green banking. This essay’s goal is to chart the development of green banking practises in the banking industry. It aims to investigate how individuals perceive and react to the green practises used by banks. This involves promoting banking services that are ecologically sustainable. The cause-and-effect relationship between customers’ perceptions of using green banking is included in the research work. We therefore make use of explanatory research. The questionnaire was created by the researcher and completed by a sample size of 75 people. This study uses chi square analysis and Graphical diagram to examine variations across the various groups, with a focus on the elements, products, conceptual framework, and perception of green banking as well as the willingness of customers to adopt it.

Authors: Joseph Dina , Vetrivel M
Published: August 2023

One of the most important issues confronting mankind in the twenty-first century is climate change. These days, more people are aware of global warming and its negative effects on human existence. Change is thus necessary for survival, and ongoing efforts should be undertaken to manage the environment in a sustainable way. The necessity for quick action has increased as the effects of global warming become more obvious. The role of finance in addressing climate change goes beyond mere funding; it serves as a catalyst for sustainable development, driving innovation, incentivizing low-carbon investments, and reshaping the global economy towards a more resilient and low-carbon future. This paper highlights the pivotal role of finance in addressing climate change and highlights the transformative potential it holds for a sustainable future.
Financial Performance of Cuddalore District Central Cooperative Bank Limited
Authors: Kumar TS , Yuvasri V
Published: August 2023

This study utilizes both primary and secondary data to assess and analyze the financial performance of the Cuddalore District Central Cooperative Bank Limited. The secondary data was gathered from various sources such as profiles, books, magazines, and websites, while the primary data was collected through the annual report of the bank. The collected data underwent editing, coding, classification, and tabulation, and was further analyzed using various financial tools. Assessing a bank’s performance is crucial in today’s competitive banking landscape, as it enables them to develop their business strategies.Despite the ongoing use of financial ratio analysis by regulators for evaluating bank performance, opposition to this method persists, with opponents introducing new tools that aim to provide a comprehensive assessment of a bank’s overall efficiency. This research paper aims to determine the effectiveness of the CAMEL (Capital adequacy, Asset quality, Management quality, Earnings, and Liquidity) framework in capturing a bank’s overall performance. Additionally, it seeks to identify the relative importance weights of the factors within the CAMEL framework and recommend the most suitable ratios for bank regulators to use in evaluating efficiency.The data for this research is secondary and was collected from the annual reports of the Cuddalore District Central Cooperative Bank over a five-year period (2017-2022). Based on the findings, several suggestions were made to the bank, including providing financial advice to borrowers to enhance their performance and ensuring thorough scrutiny of members’ proposals before loan sanctioning.
Sustainable Farming Management in India
Authors: Arumugam U , Manida M
Published: August 2023

Agriculture has historically had a significant negative impact on the environment, primarily due to practices aimed at increasing yields to meet the growing demands of the population. These practices have led to consequences such as deforestation, soil degradation, biodiversity loss, irrigation issues, and pollution. To tackle these challenges, the concept of sustainable agriculture has emerged as a new approach. Sustainable agriculture aims to meet the present food and resource needs of society while ensuring the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It emphasizes the use of agricultural practices that minimize negative environmental impacts, promote resource efficiency, and ensure long-term sustainability. To effectively implement sustainable agriculture, it is crucial to adopt practices that align with its principles. Examples of such practices include organic farming, integrated pest management, crop rotation, agroforestry, conservation tillage, and water management techniques. By adopting these practices, farmers can reduce reliance on synthetic inputs, preserve soil health, conserve water resources, protect biodiversity, and mitigate the impact of agriculture on climate change. However, the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices is influenced by various factors that can vary across regions and contexts. These factors may include economic considerations, access to resources and knowledge, policy support, market demand for sustainable products, social norms, and farmer attitudes and beliefs. Understanding these factors is essential for promoting widespread adoption of sustainable agriculture. Research has been conducted to explore the drivers and barriers to the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. By identifying these factors, policymakers, researchers, and agricultural stakeholders can develop targeted strategies to incentivize and support farmers in transitioning towards sustainable practices. Although progress has been made in understanding the factors influencing adoption, there are still gaps and challenges in the existing literature. Further research is needed to deepen our understanding of the complex interactions between different factors and their effects on adoption outcomes. This will contribute to the development of more effective policies, programs, and interventions to promote sustainable agriculture and address the environmental challenges associated with conventional farming practices.

Yapay zeka tabanlı çalışmalar, iş sektörlerinde karar destek sistemi oluşturmak, etkili çıktılar üretmek, sistem verimliliğini arttırmak ve maliyet etkin çözümler sunmak için büyük bir ilgi odağına sahiptir. Özellikle inovasyon sürecinin gelişmesinde, hızlanmasında ve hedef alana evrilmesinde yapay zeka tabanlı çalışmalar ile yenilikler sağlanmaktadır. Bu yeniliklerin gerçekleşmesinde veri, kritik bir anlama sahiptir. Algoritmalar vasıtasıyla eğitilen modellerin bilgisayarlar ya da özel makineler tarafından işlevselleştirilmesinde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Bununla birlikte yetersiz veri erişimi, yasal düzenlemeler, etik kurallar, gizlilik prosedürleri, mahremiyet, veri paylaşım kısıtı ve maliyet; verilerin sahip olduğu potansiyelin açığa çıkarılmasının önündeki engellerdir. Bu engelleri aşmak için sentetik veri üretme yaklaşımı tercih edilmektedir. Fakat sentetik veri üretme yaklaşımına ilişkin standart bir çerçeve olmadığı için yeni ve güncel yaklaşımların geliştirilmesine yönelik araştırmalar devam etmektedir. Bu çalışmada genetik algoritma temelli yeni bir sentetik veri üretme yaklaşımı önerilmiştir. Bu doğrultuda orijinal veri kümesinin dinamiğinde yapay veriler üretmek için hedef veri kümesine uyarlanan çaprazlama ve mutasyon genetik operatörleri kullanılarak veri çeşitliliği arttırılmıştır ve yeni bir nesil elde edilmiştir. Ardından üretilen bu nesildeki yapay örneklerin kategori tanımlaması, genetik algoritmanın maliyet fonksiyon bileşeni kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Son aşamada üretilen yapay verilerin orijinal verilere benzerliğinin başarısını ölçmek için 6 farklı makine öğrenmesi sınıflandırıcısı kullanılmıştır. Zenginleştirilen veri kümesi üzerinde Destek Vektör Makinesi sınıflandırıcısı ile maksimum duyarlılık ölçütü, %100 olarak elde edilmiştir. Bu durum artan veri sayısı ile orantılı olarak eğitim başarısının pozitif yönde eğilim gösterdiğini ifade etmektedir.
Tomographic criteria for assessing the structural state of kidney stones
Authors: Kolupayev S. , Lisovyi V. , Demchenko V. , Altuhov O. , Olianych S.
Published: August 2023

Urolithiasis is one of the most common urological diseases. The modern approach to the treatment of this pathology involves the use of a wide range of minimally invasive surgical interventions, the main stage of which is the destruction of the stone with subsequent removal of its fragments. Preoperative diagnosis of physicochemical parameters of kidney stones is of great practical importance in the aspect of choosing a treatment method, especially in the case of planning extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. The article examines the peculiarities of tomographic images of kidney stones with various structural features. The study consisted in the study of the microstructure of stones removed as a result of minimally invasive surgical interventions (extracorporeal shock wave, percutaneous and ureteroscopic lithotripsy) in 63 patients with urolithiasis, by the method of crystal-optical analysis on a polarizing microscope, with subsequent digital analysis of their tomographic images, according to using the ImageJ software package, with determination of the average pixel intensity (PI) in the gray scale range of 0–250. During the crystal-optical analysis, it was established that regardless of the mineral composition of the stone, the inorganic components that make up its composition can be in an amorphous or crystalline state. The structural types of kidney stones were determined based on the determination of the volume fraction of the crystalline phase (VFCP) in the structure of the urolith. Structural type A – VFCF <50%vol, structural type B – VFCF >50%vol, structural type C – VFCF = 100%vol. When analyzing tomographic images, it was found that kidney stones belonging to different structural types were characterized by different average pixel intensity (PI). A positive correlation between VFCP and PI was established, as well as reliable differences in the PI indicator between groups of stones of the first and third degree of crystallinity, which allows considering this indicator as a tomographic criterion of the degree of crystallinity of a kidney stone, the determination of which is expedient at the stage of choosing a lithotripsy method.

Keywords: urollith, structure, crystallinity, tomographic image.

Cosmography, Knowledge in Transit: A Conspectus
Authors: Clare Janet
Published: August 2023

From a modern perspective, it could be argued that cosmography was a protoscience, or ancestral to geography. To systemize it according to its modern legacy, however, dilutes its early modern diversity. Cosmography has a place in both the history of science and in historical geography, without being confined to either discipline. The article explores how cosmography circulated across disciplines, national borders, and social classes. It materialized not only in books, but in a variety of forms, including maps, instruments, letters, and lectures. Knowledge evolved as new discoveries were made about the earth and the heavens, but ideas gain traction only with difficulty when they breach conceptual boundaries. The first parts of the article will address sites, modes, and materials of knowledge exchange. In the final part, I will focus on caution, resistance, and censorship in the transmission and subsequent transformation of knowledge, with particular reference to the Copernican revolution.
Practical Cosmography in Early Modern Iberia: Alonso de Chaves and his Espejo de Navegantes
Authors: Sánchez Martínez Antonio
Published: August 2023

Ancient cosmography had to adapt to new historical circumstances during the early modern period in Europe, leading to a proliferation of roles and even a sort of identity crisis. This entailed the revival of cosmography as a new and modern science, which, however, was neither unitary nor homogeneous. Cosmography was not associated with a single epistemic community, a certain scholarly profile or a specific corpus of literature, but with different groups and practitioners who produced diverse kinds of documents. Numerous practices emerged, and knowledge circulated in several forms. The article explores so-called practical cosmography in the Iberian world from the early sixteenth century. This will be illustrated not by the classical works of the period (Faleiro, Medina, Cortés, Oliveira) but by the lesser-known figure of the Pilot Major Alonso de Chaves and his nautical encyclopaedia Quatri partitu en cosmographia pratica (c. 1530). Chaves’ responsibilities as cosmographer of the Casa de la Contratación in Seville, the subjects and structure of his treatise, the intended audience and the style and language used show that there were substantial differences between the cosmography practised in Seville and Central European cosmography. The characteristics of this cosmography will be interpreted from the perspective of artisanal epistemology.
Renaissance Cosmographical Knowledge and Religious Discourse: A ‘Disenchantment of the World’?
Authors: Bourdon Étienne
Published: August 2023

Sociologists, philosophers and historians (Weber, Blumenberg, Gauchet) have identified a so-called ‘disenchantment of the world’ which began to be perceptible during the Renaissance. The article discusses the historical relevance of the concept and that of secularization as applied to the history of early modern cosmographical knowledge. I draw a distinction between geography and cosmography in arguing that the process of ‘disenchantment’ was an uneven and complex process. On the one hand, cartography and geography moved away from biblical and Christian readings of the world. On the other hand, cosmography was seen as enabling a form of knowledge of the Divine describing the entire Creation. At the same time, it will be argued that geography in its mediation of earthly knowledge promoted a resetting and restructuring of a system of re-enchantment. All in all, knowledge, science and rationality contributed to appease a ‘panic-stricken Christianity’ (Crouzet).
Getting the Message of Abraham Ortelius’ Heart-Shaped Map and Atlas
Authors: Inverso Stephanie
Published: August 2023

In 1564, the celebrated Flemish cartographer Abraham Ortelius published his first cartographic work: a world map in the shape of a heart. This map manifests a spiritual call toward world unity heavily influenced by the heterodox sect known as the Family of Love. Six years later, Ortelius published the first edition of his groundbreaking magnum opus, an atlas entitled Theatrum orbis terrarum. With this later work, the unorthodox message of his cordiform map was not erased but transmuted into the form of an atlas. Abraham Ortelius’ example demonstrates how the ways in which knowledge circulated within humanist networks ensured that spiritual concerns, particularly unorthodox ones, continued to influence European cartography long after the rediscovery and translation of Ptolemy in the early fifteenth century.
Charting English Global Presence and its Violent Effects in Early Modernity: Reading Strategies for an Ambivalent Archive
Authors: Young Sandra
Published: August 2023

The maps tasked with charting English new-found seafaring prowess in the latter half of the sixteenth century constitute an ambivalent archive. They participated in the imaginative work of conceptualising the world as whole and singular, held within a unified cosmos. At the same time, they were distinctly partisan, helping to advance English adventurism and construct an elevated vantage point where, the would-be English colonialist, might imagine traversing oceans to subdue far-flung lands and their peoples. By reading and re-reading Baptista Boazio’s beautiful hand-painted map, ‘The Famouse Weste Indian Voyadge’, a visual account of the voyage Francis Drake undertook in 1585 endorsed by Elizabeth I to make the case for English primacy in the Americas, the essay reflects on the interpretative tool kit that might be helpful in laying bare the racial violence that infused the early period of English expansionism. Reading, as presented here, becomes a matter of excavation. Maps such as Boazio’s were tasked with cosmographical import: they participated in the world-making that established a singular world, imagined as a totality, I argue, while simultaneously advancing rival national interests and the forms of dominance that underpinned racial slavery. The interrelated texts that chart the emergence of English aggression on the high seas offer an opportunity, albeit obliquely, to reckon with the history of English enslavement and to consider the ways that early modern knowledge practices are implicated in this history.

En période périnatale, 21,7% des mères et 9,9% des pères vivent avec l’anxiété. Cette étude qualitative s’intéresse à l’expérience des parents en réponse à l’anxiété de leur coparent de la grossesse aux deux premières années de vie de l’enfant. Un questionnaire en ligne invite des parents vivant avec un coparent anxieux à décrire leur expérience. L’analyse thématique des récits de 12 pères et 15 mères témoigne d’émotions (anxiété, colère, impuissance, etc.), de cognitions (inquiétudes, incompréhension, etc.) et de comportements (soutien, conflits, évitement, prise en charge, etc.) divers, généralement négatifs. Ces résultats suggèrent que l’anxiété parentale n’est pas un phénomène individuel.
The Development of Children Endangered by Their Own Biological Parents within the Context of Joint Custody Arrangement after Divorce

Published: August 2023

Specifics of the post-divorce adjustment of so-called “joint custody” and its benefits and disadvantages that is subject to a several years-long discussions in the whole Czech society. Joint custody can take on many forms, such as true co-ordinance of mentally mature parents who are able to cooperate in the child’s interest. However, when and how can this form of organisation become suitable for the child? In some cases, perhaps even more so at certain ages, can this form be unsuitable or even threatening to the child? This article will present several specific cases that originate from qualitative research practise based on the author’s long-term psychological practice in this area.
“I Comply with the Recommendations”: The Interactional Construction of ‘Good Parenting’ in Pediatrician-Parent Conversations
Authors: Ranzani Federica
Published: August 2023

The paper sheds light on the invisible pedagogical dimension of pediatrician-parent interactions. It does so by adopting a Conversation Analysis-informed approach to a corpus of 23 video-recorded well-child visits involving two pediatricians and twenty-two families with children aged 0 to 18 months. In particular, the analysis focuses on how a mother seeks the pediatrician’s advice on everyday baby care issues. The single-case analysis is illustrative of how parents in this corpus, when seeking advice, perform themselves as “good” parents: competent and knowledgeable on caring practices, concerned by their children’s well-being, and concurrently sensitive to the ultimate epistemic and deontic authority of the pediatricians.

Authors: Velásquez Monroy Barbara Rubí
Published: August 2023

PROBLEMA: en el ámbito educativo actual, el estudiante es el protagonista de su aprendizaje, viéndose reflejado en el rendimiento académico; por lo que, se pretende mostrar ¿Cuál es la relación que existe entre las estrategias de aprendizaje y el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de la carrera de Relaciones Internacionales, del Centro Universitario de Oriente? OBJETIVO: analizar la relación que existe entre la efectividad de estrategias de aprendizaje y el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes sujetos de estudio. MÉTODO: se utiliza la escala CEVEAPEU en relación a las estrategias de aprendizaje y para la variable de rendimiento se  utiliza el promedio de notas, que los estudiantes han alcanzado en su carrera universitaria. Dicha investigación, se realiza a través de un alcance de tipo correlacional, con un enfoque mixto. Los sujetos de estudio fueron 64 estudiantes universitarios que representa el 98.5%, de la población, los datos se analizaron con el programa SPSS 25. RESULTADOS: se acepta la hipótesis general planteada, Hi = A mayor estrategias de aprendizaje, mayor rendimiento académico en los estudiantes de Relaciones Internacionales, del Centro Universitario de Oriente. Con una correlación de Pearson positiva moderada (Sig. = 0.01, p= 0.493). CONCLUSIÓN: si bien existe una relación de grado medio entre estas dos variables, aun no existe una correlación fuerte; esta relación puede deberse a factores del contexto tanto del estudiante como externo.

PROBLEMA: surge de la pregunta ¿Generará el transhumanismo una nueva tipología de delitos penales? OBJETIVO: definir las nuevas controversias originarias de la transformación del ser humano a través del transhumanismo y el derecho penal. MÉTODO: se utilizó en la investigación el método inductivo que parte de la noción particular a lo general, se aplicó técnicas bibliográficas y de investigación documental. RESULTADOS: diferencia abismal en el derecho penal del enemigo y la Big Data en relación a la comunicación y la información de la fenomenología del enemigo en producción del discurso enemigo del Estado ya que siempre tiende a castigar ejemplarmente que sucedería como humanos transformados y la gran interrogante que se hace, la legítima defensa. El Estado entraría a su autoritarismo inminente ya que las libertades como génesis del Estado dictatorial entraría en una discordia con los conflictos entre clases y el monopolio virtual de la definición del enemigo. CONCLUSIÓN: el derecho penal y la revolución tecnológica no se puede detener aunque se creen figuras delictivas por los Estados democráticos no se pueden vedar la revolución tecnológica y la relación de los seres humanos ya que los nuevos conceptos y la filosofía del derecho van a determinar el principio de culpabilidad y su crisis no puede pararse a través de una categorización de delitos que se pretenden hacer.
Intralenticular Metallic Foreign Body: A Case Report
Authors: Almokdad Maan Ali , ALakkad Ashraf
Published: August 2023

Background: Intraocular foreign body (IOFB) injuries exhibit variations based on multiple factors, including size, composition, location, type, contamination, the extent of tissue damage, and potential complications that may arise. Case Presentation: This case study describes a 48-year-old male patient who presented to the outpatient clinic with a progressive decline in vision in the right eye lasting three weeks. The patient reported a history of redness in the affected eye, occurring for several days after performing maintenance work. Intraocular pressure measurements were normal for both eyes. The slit lamp examination revealed a corneal opacity near the limbus at the 2 o'clock position in the right eye, along with a small peripheral iris hole aligned with the corneal opacity. Additional diagnostic investigations, including a B-scan ultrasound and a CT scan of the orbit without contrast, were conducted. The B-scan ultrasound showed a clear vitreous and a flat retina, while the CT scan detected a metallic foreign body measuring 3x3 mm. The foreign body was found to be partially embedded in the lens and partially in the vitreous, as confirmed by the imaging. As a result, the patient was admitted to the hospital, and a comprehensive treatment plan was implemented. Topical antibiotics, steroids, cycloplegic, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory eye drops were prescribed. The patient underwent cataract surgery with sulcus intraocular lens implantation, combined with a pars plana vitrectomy to remove the foreign body. Additional procedures, such as 360 laser treatment, air-fluid exchange, and injection of SF6 gas, were performed. Conclusion: This case highlights the successful management of an intraocular foreign body injury, emphasizing the significance of prompt diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention in achieving positive visual outcomes.

Dermatophytes are capable of infecting the skin and its appendages such as nails and hairs producing a variety of clinical conditions. Hair invasion by dermatophytes is a key feature of tinea capitis and tinea barbae but not of tinea of glabrous skin. Follicular involvement of glabrous skin is a rare entity resisting to topical treatment and should be considered for systemic antifungal treatments. We report a new observation of Tinea Folliculorom of the forearm revealing a familial ringworm.

A Critical Examination of the Legal Standards for the Exploitation of Timber Resources: Encumbrances and Prospects for Forest Sustainability in Cameroon
Authors: Asomoh Etuge Moses
Published: August 2023

The forest of Cameroon which is located in western equatorial Africa is central to economic growth and development and livelihood sustainability. Forests play three important functions: They provide habitat for the preservation of biodiversity; act as carbon sinks; and contribute to maintaining and enhancing the quality of the soil. Furthermore, forest is a source for nutrition and generates income for the state. Recently the demand for forest products by loggers and other forest users for the production of timber, fuel wood, and charcoal have been on the rise. Illegalities in the forest sector is fast becoming worrisome with incidents of illegal logging at the forefront and visible on every angle, beginning with illegal loggers to the corrupt government officials. Illegal logging is a chain of activities, beginning with the unclear allocation of concession rights, inappropriate felling of wood, transportation and marketing of the illegally exploited wood. The major cause of this has led to over exploitation of the forest in order to meet local and international demands. This further has an adverse effect on the forest as species are gradually disappearing, a change of climate, pollution, soil depletion, and a breach of local community’s right to forest. To this respect, our objective is to analyze the legislative instruments and their consistency or efficacy in regulating logging activities, and the encumbrances faced. To achieve these objectives we made use of both doctrinal and analytical research methodology with primary and secondary sources of information as the main tools. We observed that, the forest is under serious threat from adverse human activities, especially illegal logging encourage by factors such as corruption, ineffective forest legislations, and lack of consistency amongst others. In the light of the above mentioned huddles we proffered some recommendations such as beefing up enforcement procedure, minimizing corruption, an increase in the sanction against defaulters, reducing the procedure to obtain exploitation permit, reforming, harmonization and codification of the forest law which will serve as a way forward.

Annulo-ectasitic disease is a group of disorders with similar phenotypic features, combining aneurysm of the aortic duct and dilatation of the aortic annulus. Its incidence is estimated at 4.5 cases per 100,000. It is the 13th leading cause of death in Western countries. Aneurysms of the ascending aorta are divided into two distinct entities according to etiology and surgical management. Pregnancy and peri-partum are two situations where the risk of aortic dissection is higher, with a more rapid progression of aortic diameters. This risk is directly related to the diameter of the aorta at the beginning of pregnancy, compliance with beta-blocker treatment, and the need for concerted cardiological and obstetric monitoring as soon as the desire for pregnancy is expressed and up to the 2nd month of the peripartum period. The aim of this review is to illustrate, through 02 clinical situations, the difficulties in managing parturient patients suffering from the different types of annuloectasitic disease of the aorta.

Background: It has been revealed that low serum magnesium (Mg) is often associated with insulin Resistance (IR), cardiovascular problems, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are known to have a high incidence of insulin resistance. Objective: To assess the effects of magnesium supplementation on insulin resistance in polycystic ovary syndrome. Methods: This randomized controlled study was conducted in the Department of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, from January 2021 to December 2021. A total of 74 women diagnosed of infertility with PCOS were included in this study. Eligible women who gave their informed consent were allocated into either group A: (Magnesium oxide) or group B (placebo) on the basis of a computerized generated table system allocated into two groups 37 patients (group-A) and 37 patients (group -B). Group A received magnesium oxide & group B received a placebo for 12 weeks. After 12 weeks of treatment, both groups were advised to repeat biochemical assay for fasting glucose, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, serum testosterone & serum lipid profile at the follow-up visit. Results: Magnesium supplementation for 12 weeks among women with PCOS had favorable effects on waist circumference (changes from baseline in the intervention group: -0.76±3.1 vs. -1.7±1.8 cm in the placebo group) and BMI (-2.13±0.98 vs. -0.32±0.52 kg/m2) compared with the placebo group. Magnesium oxide led to a significant reduction in HOMA-IR (-1.49±0.95 vs. 0.09± 0.29) compared with placebo. Serum triglycerides was significantly decreased (-36.7±53.5 vs. 0.1±17.9 mg/d) in the magnesium group than placebo. HDL level was significantly increased in the magnesium group (2.3±5.9 mg/dl), while HDL level was decreased in the placebo group (-1.7±2.7 mg/dl). Significant mean change of total testosterone in magnesium group (0.43±0.35 ng/dL) than placebo group (-0.01±0.05 ng/dL). However, total cholesterol and LDL were also decreased in the magnesium group than in the placebo group, but the difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05) compared between the two groups. Conclusion: The present study provides evidence showing that magnesium supplementation resulted in reduced WC, BMI, HOMA-IR, total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, and testosterone levels in women with PCOS. Also, magnesium supplementation might increase serum HDL levels. Though there was a significantly increased pregnancy rate of magnesium supplementation than in a placebo group.
