PROBLEMS OF OPTIMIZING TREATMENT OF INFERTILITY IN PATIENTS WITH VARICOCELE
Authors:   Urologist-Andrologist Of The Surgical Department Of The Central Clinical Hospital Of The State Joint-Stock Company “Uzbekistan Temir Yollari”, Uzbekistan, Akbarshoh Furkatov
Published: March 2023

It is known that infertility of a couple is often associated with spermatogenesis disorders. The most common causes of male infertility are varicocele, inflammatory diseases of the reproductive system, hormonal disorders and cryptorchidism. Also, in many cases, it is difficult to determine the cause of male infertility. To date, there are no generally recognized methods of drug treatment of the idiopathic form of male infertility, and its therapy is often considered to be of an empirical nature. Assisted reproductive technologies are highly effective methods of infertility treatment, but they are expensive and invasive.

Strategies to access the [5-8] bicyclic core encountered in the sesquiterpene, diterpene and sesterterpene series
Authors: Alleman Cécile , Gadais Charlène , Legentil Laurent , Porée François-Hugues
Published: March 2023

Terpene compounds probably represent the most diversified class of secondary metabolites. Some classes of terpenes, mainly diterpenes (C20) and sesterterpenes (C25) and to a lesser extent sesquiterpenes (C15), share a common bicyclo[3.6.0]undecane core which is characterized by the presence of a cyclooctane ring fused to a cyclopentane ring, i.e., a [5-8] bicyclic ring system. This review focuses on the different strategies elaborated to construct this [5-8] bicyclic ring system and their application in the total synthesis of terpenes over the last two decades. The overall approaches involve the construction of the 8-membered ring from an appropriate cyclopentane precursor. The proposed strategies include metathesis, Nozaki–Hiyama–Kishi (NHK) cyclization, Pd-mediated cyclization, radical cyclization, Pauson–Khand reaction, Lewis acid-promoted cyclization, rearrangement, cycloaddition and biocatalysis.

Los retos de los derechos de los pueblos originarios y afromexicanos en México. Una perspectiva crítica
Authors: Parra de la Cruz Nicolás E. , Hernández Hernández Esmeralda
Published: March 2023

Este texto ofrece una reflexión crítica decolonial de lo que establece el artículo 2° de la Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos. Se parte de que México tiene una composición pluricultural sustentada en sus Pueblos Originarios y Afromexicanos, los cuales son definidos como aquellos que descienden de poblaciones ancestrales que habitaban en el actual territorio antes de iniciarse la colonización y que poseen característica biológicas, culturales y axiológicas propias; además, conservan sus propias instituciones sociales, políticas y económicas que, en la actualidad, muestran una hibridación occidental. Sin duda, la visión o cosmovisión autóctona debería ser un criterio fundamental para establecer políticas con perspectiva intercultural que beneficien a los Pueblos Originarios y Afromexicanos en México y que reivindique su identidad, formas de ser, pensar, aprender, sentir y vivir. Finalmente se exponen los retos y logros obtenidos en los últimos años que, si bien posiciona a los Pueblos Originarios y Afromexicanos en una situación diferente no se duda que hace falta mayor conciencia de la clase política mexicana para tener marcos jurídicos con perspectiva intercultural.

PRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATION IN KERALA: TRENDS AND PATTERNS
Authors: A Muhamed Faizudheen. , N. P. Abdul Azeez
Published: March 2023

Across different economies, the private sector plays a dominant role in higher education. The approach of Kerala towards higher education has changed since the 1990s, with the promotion of full-fledged private encouragement in higher education. The state has opened the door to self-financing or unaided institutions. The shortage of public funds led to the setting up of profit-oriented institutions. Conventionally, higher education is considered a public good as it provides externalities not only to individuals but also to the entire society as a whole. But in Kerala, it has been transformed into a private or market good. This study makes an attempt to understand the pattern and nature of the privatization of higher education in the state of Kerala. At least two-thirds of the total affiliated colleges in the state run as self-financed institutes.

This research aims to study the Electromyographic analysis of anterior, superior and posterior shoulder function while executing the spike in volleyball. Twelve male national and inter university level volleyball players, ranging from age 16 to 28 years, were purposively selected as subjects. The subjects were oriented for experiment and process was clarified to them. Observations were made on selected variables such as anterior muscles group includes Pectoralis Major (PMJ), Pectoralis Minor (PMN) and Bicepsbrachii (BB). Further superior muscle group includes Anterior Deltoid (AD), Middle Deltoid (MD) and Posterior Deltoid (PD). Posterior muscle group includes Triceps Brachii (TB), Latissimus Dorsi (LD) and Trapezius (TP). The muscles activities during spiking were tested by Neuro TracMyoPlus 4, as criterion measure. Micro volt (µv) was used to document scores/data, and further analysis of data was completed by help of SPSS version 17. The descriptive statistics was used for electromyographic analysis of shoulder function while executing the spike. Pearson Correlation technique was applied, having 0.05 level of significance to see the relationship of selected muscles with spiking action. The findings depicted that while spike the trapezius muscle has highest activation level of EMG, followed by anterior deltoid & posterior deltoid; triceps muscles; pectoralis muscles in order of sequence. In contrast the biceps muscles function showed lowest activation level of EMG while carrying out of spike. The Pectoralis is the only muscle that was found correlated with the performance of spike. However, The insignificant correlation was found between the trapezius, biceps, triceps, anterior deltoid & posterior deltoid with the performance of spike test. However, significant relationship was also found between biceps and triceps muscles groups among independent variables.

Contradictions of the Information Economy as a New Space for the Development of the Human Potential of Russia and China
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Maslov G.A.
Published: March 2023

The article highlights the transformation of the role of information products in modern production, developing in the conditions of rapid technical and economic changes. This process stands out in different aspects. It is noted that in addition to cases when a producer voluntarily puts an information product into free access, when the state provides access to information, information benefits are also increasingly becoming free (or cheaper) in the commercial sector. The latter is connected with the development of artificial intelligence and neurotechnologies, which makes advertising more effective, and encourages information producers to make their product as accessible as possible for a wider advertising coverage. As a result, there is a contradiction when the distribution of free information goods due to the growth of advertising undermines commodity, market relations. At the same time, ensuring broad access to freely distributed information benefits is an essential condition for the development of human potential, which, in turn, is necessary for the development of high-tech production. The author substantiates a set of recommendations of socio-economic policy in the context of the new role of information products and, in general, the growing importance of the quality of human potential in production. The importance of international cooperation between Russia and China in the field of economics, science, education, and culture is emphasized. This interaction is particularly relevant in the conditions of acute geopolitical confrontation and the need to solve the problems of catching up development.
Modeling the Daily Variations of the Coronal X-ray Spectral Irradiance with Two Temperatures and Two Emission Measures
Authors: Schwab Bennet D. , Woods Thomas N. , Mason James Paul
Published: March 2023

The Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer (MinXSS-1) CubeSat observed solar X-rays between 0.5 and 10 keV. A two-temperature, two-emission-measure model is fit to each daily averaged spectrum. These daily average temperatures and emission measures are plotted against the corresponding daily solar 10.7 cm radio flux (F10.7) value and a linear correlation is found between each that we call the Schwab Woods Mason (SWM) model. The linear trends show that one can estimate the solar spectrum between 0.5 and 10 keV based on the F10.7 measurement alone. The cooler temperature component of this model represents the quiescent Sun contribution to the spectra and is essentially independent of solar activity, meaning the daily average quiescent Sun is accurately described by a single temperature (1.70 MK) regardless of solar intensity and only the emission measure corresponding to this temperature needs to be adjusted for higher or lower solar intensity. The warmer temperature component is shown to represent active region contributions to the spectra and varies between 5 and 6 MK. The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) XRS-B data between 1 and 8 Å is used to validate this model and it is found that the ratio between the SWM model irradiance and the GOES XRS-B irradiance is close to unity on average. MinXSS-1 spectra during quiescent solar conditions have very low counts beyond around 3 keV. The SWM model can generate MinXSS-1 or Dual Aperture X-ray Solar Spectrometer spectra at very high spectral resolution and with extended energy ranges to fill in gaps between measurements and extend predictions back to 1947.
Un courage sans héroïsme. Antigone, Créon, Ismène, Hémon, Tirésias
Authors: Birnbaum Antonia
Published: March 2023

L’appréhension du tragique chez Lacan et Hegel saisit le désir inconditionnel d’Antigone comme héroïque. À l’encontre de cette tendance, une autre hypothèse est ici expérimentée : l’héroïque, qu’il soit ironique ou qu’il nous expose à l’éclat d’une beauté sublime, barre l’accès à l’inconditionnel, car en lui cet inconditionnel reste toujours attaché à une exception supposée transcendante, au détriment de son adresse. Déjouer l’héroïsme signifie donc réinterpréter la capacité de solitude qui caractérise le courage héroïque. Ce que le courage révèle, c’est une ignorance en partage quant à la loi du tout, quant au monde qu’il s’agit d’habiter, à même un risque pris par une seule. La référence directe à un « conflit des mondes » porte un éclairage nouveau sur les approches de Lacan et de Hegel.
Nurses on Strike
Authors: Jones-Schenk Jan
Published: March 2023

Walking out on a job is not an easy thing to do. For nurses, considered the most ethical and trusted profession in America, walking out on patients is heartbreaking. It is extreme action taken in the face of extreme circumstances. Nurses and their managers are frustrated and distraught, and patients are in the middle. Talking about strikes brings up strong feelings on both sides, and the growing prevalence of this method for solving disputes begs the question: How do we solve such an emotion-laden and complex problem as nurse staffing? Just 2 years after the pandemic crisis, nurses are pointing to a staffing crisis. Nurse managers and leaders are struggling to find sustainable solutions.

Published: March 2023

In the United States, 18.9% of the population identifies as Hispanic or Latin. The culture of these communities is as diverse, heterogenous, and rich as the history of this population. Culture shapes the perception of symptoms and psychiatric disorders. To provide culturally sensitive care, it is relevant to understand the history of these communities in the US, recognize cultural humility, and acknowledge aspects and values (eg, culturally bound syndromes, familism, paternalism, stigma of mental illness, machismo, immigration) inherent to the cultural experience and unique barriers to care. Incorporating these aspects into clinical practice is essential for positive outcomes. The purpose of this article is to give a brief historical context, encourage cultural humility, and describe cultural aspects that are essential when providing culturally sensitive care to the Hispanic and Latinx community in the US.

Extended MABAC method based on 2-tuple linguistic $ T $-spherical fuzzy sets and Heronian mean operators: An application to alternative fuel selection
Authors: Akram Muhammad , Naz Sumera , Feng Feng , Ali Ghada , Shafiq Aqsa
Published: March 2023

In recent years, fossil fuel resources have become increasingly rare and caused a variety of problems, with a global impact on economy, society and environment. To tackle this challenge, we must promote the development and diffusion of alternative fuel technologies. The use of cleaner fuels can reduce not only economic cost but also the emission of gaseous pollutants that deplete the ozone layer and accelerate global warming. To select an optimal alternative fuel, different fuzzy decision analysis methodologies can be utilized. In comparison to other extensions of fuzzy sets, the $ T $-spherical fuzzy set is an emerging tool to cope with uncertainty by quantifying acceptance, abstention and rejection jointly. It provides a general framework to unify various fuzzy models including fuzzy sets, picture fuzzy sets, spherical fuzzy sets, intuitionistic fuzzy sets, Pythagorean fuzzy sets and generalized orthopair fuzzy sets. Meanwhile, decision makers prefer to employ linguistic terms when expressing qualitative evaluation in real-life applications. In view of these facts, we develop an extended multi-attributive border approximation area comparison (MABAC) method for solving multiple attribute group decision-making problems in this study. Firstly, the combination of $ T $-spherical fuzzy sets with 2-tuple linguistic representation is presented, which provides a general framework for expressing and computing qualitative evaluation. Secondly, we put forward four kinds of 2-tuple linguistic $ T $-spherical fuzzy aggregation operators by considering the Heronian mean operator. We investigate some fundamental properties of the proposed 2-tuple linguistic $ T $-spherical fuzzy aggregation operators. Lastly, an extended MABAC method based on the 2-tuple linguistic $ T $-spherical fuzzy generalized weighted Heronian mean and the 2-tuple linguistic $ T $-spherical fuzzy weighted geometric Heronian mean operators is developed. For illustration, a case study on fuel technology selection with 2-tuple linguistic $ T $-spherical fuzzy information is also conducted. Moreover, we show the validity and feasibility of our approach by comparing it with several existing approaches.
Prevalence of the colistin resistance gene MCR-1 in colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in Egypt
Authors: Abozahra Rania , Gaballah Amal , Abdelhamid Sarah M.
Published: March 2023

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a nosocomial pathogen with high morbidity and mortality rates in hospitalized patients. The emergence of multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae has become more challenging to treat, with the prevalence of colistin-resistance. Therefore, reliable methods for detecting colistin resistance are required. Many plants' essential oils have antimicrobial activity and have been used to combat multiple antibiotic resistances. This study aimed to investigate the characterization and prevalence of the colistin resistance gene mcr-1 in K. pneumoniae in Egypt, evaluate rapid polymyxin NP test, determine the transferability of mcr-1 gene, and study the synergistic activity of eugenol combined with colistin against K. pneumoniae isolates. Eighty-two K. pneumonia isolates were collected from different human samples, followed by antibiotic susceptibility testing, rapid polymyxin NP test, and detection of the mcr-1 gene and its transfer frequency. Determination of the MICs of colistin alone and in combination with eugenol was performed, then mcr-1 gene expression was determined in the presence of eugenol. Thirty-two isolates (39%) were colistin-resistant. Rapid polymyxin NP test failed to detect resistant isolates with MICs below 32 µg/mL. Detection of mcr-1 gene was made in 27 (84%) of colistin resistant isolates. The rest isolates possess alteration in the mgrB gene which probably causes colistin resistance. The mcr-1 gene was transferred by conjugation to other sensitive isolates. MIC of eugenol ranged from 416 to 1664 µg/mL, and FICI ranged from 0.265 to 0.75. Results also revealed suppression of mcr-1 gene expression in the presence of sub MIC of eugenol. Our results demonstrated a high prevalence of mcr-1 in Egypt and its ability to transfer to other strains. Difficult determination of colistin-resistant isolates with low values with rapid polymyxin NP test was apparent. Eugenol exerted a synergistic effect with colistin and improved its antimicrobial activity.
L’écriture après l’écriture : Öyvind Fahlström, au prisme de la pensée de Vilém Flusser
Authors: Bernhardt Ludovic
Published: March 2023

Une pensée aussi radicale que celle de Vilém Flusser à propos des mutations auxquelles est soumise l’écriture alphabétique en lien avec les appareils, ne peut échapper à une mise en perspective de l’art et de la poésie. Dans les années 1950-1970, Öyvind Fahlström – un peintre et écrivain suédois – a entrepris de perturber la validité des codes linéaires du langage écrit par des jeux de manipulation de mots, de textes, d’images et de sons. À travers la croisée des positions de Flusser et de Fahlström, nous voulons mettre en relief la question des appareils et leur redéfinition de l’écriture menant à un recodage de l’art : la problématique d’un après de l’écriture alphabétique est alors posée. Flusser et Fahlström, chacun avec les outils conceptuels et artistiques qui le caractérisent, appréhendent un état transitoire de l’écriture : l’alphabet serait situé à l’aube d’un changement de régime radical. Il est ainsi question d’une reformulation de l’écriture et de la poésie, et de leur possible émancipation d’un carcan strictement historique. Une dimension cybernétique de notre perception est revendiquée chez Flusser, lorsqu’elle est largement convoquée dans certains travaux de Fahlström. Flusser développe une pensée de la « post-histoire », un nouveau régime où images et appareils sont au cœur d’un développement de pratiques poétiques permettant de décompartimenter les expériences de vie autrefois cloisonnées. Un devoir d’interprétation cybernétique est alors activé afin d’ouvrir de nouveaux champs esthétiques, sans toutefois négliger les risques que ces transferts de codes peuvent comporter. Fondamentalement, la pensée de Flusser et l’art de Fahlström annoncent la venue d’une écriture d’après l’écriture renouvelant nos rapports aux images, aux textes et à la poésie.
Œil pour œil : l’art contre la technopolice
Authors: Fourmentraux Jean-Paul
Published: March 2023

À la frontière des arts numériques, de la philosophie des techniques et des « surveillance studies », résolument critiques, cet article propose l’ethnographie d’une controverse, esthétique et politique, survenue à l’occasion de l’exposition du projet Capture, de l’artiste italien Paolo Cirio (2020) et de la pétition européenne qu’elle a inauguré en ligne, visant à bannir la reconnaissance faciale dans l’espace public. À la lumière des théories de Vilém Flusser, nous analysons l’ambivalence des images numériques à l’ère de la reconnaissance faciale ou de l’intelligence artificielle, leurs déterminismes sociotechniques, ainsi que les conditions et modalités de leur possible retournement (ou détournement de leurs appareils) par la ruse artistique. Nous montrerons comment l’art de la désobéissance numérique invite à « mordre la machine », réouvrir les boîtes noires et renverser les rôles entre surveillants et surveillés en lien avec le débat autour des violences policières et l’ambivalence du projet de loi de « sécurité globale ».

État des lieux du déploiement de l’économie de la fonctionnalité en Région de Bruxelles-Capitale

Published: March 2023

La Région de Bruxelles-Capitale (RBC) s’est engagée, depuis 2016, à mettre la transition au cœur de sa stratégie économique. Parmi les modèles économiques prometteurs figure l’économie de la fonctionnalité (EF), par laquelle la vente de l’usage d’un bien est substituée à la vente du bien lui-même. Plusieurs vertus lui sont attribuées en matière de soutenabilité. Ainsi, la rétention de la propriété des biens par les entreprises inciterait ces dernières à choisir des produits durables. La mise à disposition d’un même bien pour divers usagers limiterait les quantités produites. L’EF catalyserait aussi l’ancrage local des systèmes productifs et de consommation. Pourtant, en RBC, le modèle de l’EF reste encore peu connu, mal compris et peine à se déployer. C’est pourquoi le présent article, issu d’une recherche de 4 ans sur l’EF en RBC, poursuit trois objectifs : 1) il dresse un panorama original de l’état actuel de l’EF en RBC et de la diversité des besoins auxquels l’EF pourrait répondre ; 2) il analyse les dispositifs institutionnels de soutien de l’EF en RBC, et 3) il s’interroge sur l’adéquation entre les dispositifs institutionnels de soutien à une économie soutenable en RBC et le déploiement de l’EF dans la Région. Il ressort de cette étude exploratoire que l’EF est encore peu présente, tant institutionnellement que dans le tissu économique bruxellois. Il semblerait dès lors pertinent de donner davantage de place au modèle de l’EF, en créant des espaces permettant à des acteurs économiques d’expérimenter le modèle et d’en évaluer les effets en termes de soutenabilité, de construire une vision commune et de définir les trajectoires de son déploiement.

Management of Schools' Changing Rooms to Support Menstruating School Girls
Authors: Suru Majiyd Hamis , Riwa Agness Narcis
Published: March 2023

This chapter examines the nexus of equity and participation in learning for secondary schoolgirls as impinged by gender-specific sanitary resources. The study used a mixed research approach in a cross-sectional survey with a concurrent data collection design. Interviews, field observations, and questionnaires were adopted for data collection. School changing rooms and associated sanitary resources were pointed out as support facilities for schoolgirls' learning during menstruation. The study revealed that schoolgirls demonstrated self-esteem and confidence in learning if schools had adequate hygienic resources. Running water systems, sanitary pads, and the comprehensive menstrual hygiene system obtained in the changing rooms are significant to participation in learning. Secondary schoolgirls were likely to drop out of their studies due to a lack of gender-specific sanitary resources. A comprehensive investigation is recommended for an in-depth understanding of equity and learning from the perspective of schoolgirls' voices.

Published: March 2023

In the previous three to four decades, numerical weather and climate modelling have advanced significantly, yet many challenges still exist. Appropriate adaptation techniques to reduce loss of life and property require geographically and temporally targeted predictions. Artificial Intelligence and machine learning (AI and ML) based technologies are improving predictions. However, they are bound by the absence of a hardware's or a software's—or both—capable of handling the enormous data volumes created on a global basis. The burgeoning paradigm of quantum computing (QC) has potential applications across many industries. This review shows that the current progress in quantum ML for quantum computers may lead to technological advancements in climate change research. The subsequent climate forecasting improvements are expected to have several socioeconomic benefits. The authors have also provided three or four examples showing how quantum technology might be used with ML systems to study climate change.

Published: March 2023

A critical task in utilizing quantum physics in many application fields is circuit design using reversible quantum gates. Using decomposition techniques enables transformation of unitary matrices into fundamental quantum gates. Any 3x3 reversible quantum gate can be decomposed into single-qubit rotation gates and two qubit CNOT gates. In this chapter, quantum implementations of FRSG1, URG, JTF1 and R gates into CNOT gates and single qubit U3 gates with different optimization levels on a platform provided by IBM have been discussed. FRSG1 and JTF1 gates are important in applications like Stochastic computing, fingerprint authentication system, and parity generation circuits. URG gate is better in terms of number of complex functions and can be utilized to design quantum comparator circuits. R gate plays an important role in inverting and duplicating a signal. In FRSG1, URG, JTF1 and R gates, the implementation count of single qubit gates decreases by 56%, 11%, 71%, and 62%, respectively and the count of two qubit gates reduces by 15%, 26%, 41%, and 5% respectively after optimization.
