Published: September 2019

Introduction: Infertility is being a common global problem affecting one couple in six. Approximately 167 million ever married women aged 15-49 years in developing countries were infertile. The problem of infertility has not given attention considering the fact that it is not the life threatening, but, it has substantial community health problems such as depression, anxiety domestic violence and social isolation. The purpose of the study was to explore the causes of infertility among couples who visited the infertility centre.

Methodology: Hospital based descriptive cross-sectional study had been carried out in infertility centre Kathmandu Nepal. One hundred and sixty five married couple with infertility problem availing the infertility treatment was selected on first come first serve basic sampling method from infertility treatment centre.

Result: The infertility problem varied with the age. The problem was highest among the females of age group 26-30 years (51%), similarly in males it was predominant at the age of 31-35 years (45%). The most common causes of female infertility were ovarian cyst (37%) and heavy bleeding (18.7%), uterine fibroids (9%), Pelvic inflammation (9%), Thyroid disease (21.8%), whereas in males the infertility were mostly due to Oligospermia (17.5%), Azoospermia (5.5%), Hydrocele (7.8), Mumps orchids (6%).

Conclusion: Infertility was due to various causes in the male or/and the female partner, however, the infertility among couples were mostly due to the problem in females. Infertility is a complex problem that should be considered carefully by the individual, community peoples, government and stakeholders in each country.

Published: September 2019

Similarities have been observed between substance dependence and overconsumption of food, leading to the development of the food addiction (FA) concept. While psychological markers of FA have often been documented, data on physiological markers remains scarce. This study aimed to investigate HPA-axis functioning through cortisol awakening response (CAR) in relation to FA among bariatric candidates. We hypothesized that participants presenting high FA symptomatology would present a blunted CAR when compared to participants presenting low FA symptomatology and that significant associations between CAR and eating behaviors would be observed within both groups. The final sample comprised 40 participants, who were invited to complete questionnaires and provide saliva samples upon awakening (T0, T15, and T30). Results from the two-way ANOVA with repeated measures showed a non-significant “time x group” interaction, indicating that CAR did not differ between groups. Moreover, results from correlational analyses showed different patterns of associations between CAR and eating behaviors within each group; further analyses showed that the relationship between CAR and food cravings triggered by cues in the environment was significantly moderated by FA symptomatology, as higher CAR was related to lower cue-triggered food cravings only in individuals presenting low FA symptomatology. While these findings do not support the presence of HPA-axis functioning differences in relation to FA, they suggest that the association of CAR with eating behaviors may depend on whether or not addictive tendencies are present. Further investigation of the association between CAR and eating behaviors in the context of FA will thus be essential.
A Case of Scheuermann’s Disease Co-Occurrence with Idiopathic Scoliosis and Intradural-Extramedullary Epidermoid Cyst: The First Case Report in Literature
Authors: Hao Dingjun , Zhu Jinwen , Wang Xiaodong , Chang Zhen
Published: September 2019

Background and importance: Scheuermann’s disease (SD), intradural-extramedullary epidermoid cysts and idiopathic scoliosis (IS) are all rare conditions. The co-occurrence of the three condition on one case has not been reported in literature before. We describe an extremely rare case of SD co-occurrence with IS and intradural-extramedullary epidermoid cyst, which is the first in the literature.
Clinical presentation: A 13-year old boy and his parents presented at Honghui Hospital complaining of progressive hyperkyphosis for 5 years and back pain for 2 months. Thorough medical examination and radiology confirmed the diagnosis of SD kyphosis, IS, and intradural-extramedullary epidermoid cyst. Medical panel with spine surgeons, oncologists, neurosurgeons, histopathologists and radiologists were consulted. Tumor excise, kyphosis recorrection and spine reconstruction surgery was conducted. Postoperative histological examination detected desquamation of keratin from the epithelial lining and stratified squamous epithelium without skin adnexa. The boy was ambulant 2 days postoperative with walking aids.
Conclusion: This is the first case report of Scheuermann’s disease (SD) co-occurrence with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) and intradural-extramedullary epidermoid cyst. The co-occurrence of intradural epidermoid cyst, SD and IS might not be a coincidence, indicating a kind of genetic etiology need to be illuminated.
Tale of Two Nicaraguas
Authors: Miller Dennis
Published: September 2019

An examination of two Nicaraguan dramatic texts exemplifies the tension between first world white feminism and a feminism that rejects the hierarchies often replicated in the first waves of feminism. Women’s collective 8 de marzo’s Ser como el aire quisiera rejects the hegemonic femininity that often oppresses transgendered women and neglects to embrace the multiplicity of sexual expressions. Lapta Yula’s La vida sigue enfatizes solidarity, not just amongst women, but all those vying for a more equitable, just society whose mission is to promote the greater good of all. While both texts indirectly problematize the traditional concept of feminism, La vida sigue’s dramatic stance against hegemonic performativities is a step further from Ser como el aire quisiera’s primary dramatic thrust.

Authors: Kurdyaeva Y. A. , Kulichkov S. N. , Kshevetskii S. P. , Borchevkina O. P. , Golikova E. V.
Published: September 2019

Using experimental observations of atmospheric pressure variations on the Earth’s surface recorded with a network of 4 microbarographs located in the Moscow region during the passage of an atmospheric front, empirical approximations of oscillations of atmospheric pressure field were constructed. The obtained approximating functions were used as the lower boundary condition for the numerical simulation of acoustic-gravity wave propagation to the upper atmosphere from the source in the lower troposphere. Estimates of the amplitude of temperature disturbances in the upper atmosphere caused by iacoustic gravity waves from the atmospheric front are given. The obtained estimates for the temperature disturbance amplitude take values around 170 K. The amplitude of temperature disturbances in the upper atmosphere, caused by background variations of pressure on the Earth's surface, is estimated at 4-5 K.
Modeling of atmospheric disturbances above the Crimean mountains
Authors: Kozhevnikov V. N.
Published: September 2019

While using the non-linear analytical model of the flow over the mountains, orographic disturbances and the model adequacy were studied. Theoretically calculated trajectories, disturbances of temperature and humidity were compared with the actual stereophotogrammetric measurements of wavy clouds. It was shown that the model successfully describes the spatial structure and amplitudes of disturbances in the troposphere beyond the turbulent surface air. It was established that, on the days of clouds observations, turbulent processes in the surface air did not have any significant impact on wavy processes at the heights over 2.5 km.

The exact solution of the nonlinear problem for wave run-up height is found as a function of the incident wave amplitude. Influence of tide on characteristics of wave run-up on a beach is studied.
Geology and prospects of oil and gas bearing of east — Canadian continental margins
Authors: Zabanbark A. , Lobkovsky L. I.
Published: September 2019

At the limit of the East-Canadian continental margin there are three oil and gas regions from north to south: Labrador Sea shelves, margins of the Great Newfoundland Bank and the continental margin of Nova Scotia. In each of these distinguishing regions are a number of sedimentary basins completely plunging under the water. At the shelf of Labrador Sea distinguishing the following large sedimentary basins: Saglek, Hopdale and Havke, at the margin of Newfoundland Bank it is known the basins: Jeanne d’Arc, Flemish Pass and Orphan. At the Nova Scotia shelf there are Nova Scotian and Sable basins. It is remarkable at the lofty latitude like of Labrador Sea region the age of the productive sediments beginning from more ancient rocks (Paleozoic), than in basins situated in law latitude (Mesozoic). In consequence of this the stratigraphy diapason of oil and gas bearing of the north latitude is considerably wide. The prospect of oil and gas bearing in all region is related principally with continental slopes and turbidites sediments in its. Late Jurassic and early Cretaceous reservoirs would be the aim for deep drilling sediments. Wide distribution of late Cretaceous and early Tertiary prospects reservoirs of oil and gas is quite really so far as they are bedded in the shallow horizons. Also the prospect of oil and gas bearing at the margin of the basin is related to late Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments, to deposits of fan and diapirs salt.

Green or Grey? Goats, Economy and Ecology in Nkayi District, Zimbabwe: 1980-2017
Authors: Kwashirai Vimbai , Mhike Ivo
Published: September 2019

This study explores the economic and ecological importance of goats in Nkayi District, Matabeleland North, Zimbabwe, 1980-2017. It evaluates the significance of goats in sustaining Ndebele rural livelihoods, debating whether goats are environmentally constructive or destructive. Nkayi is the foremost goat-producing region in Zimbabwe. Its semi-tropical and generally arid climatic features make it prone to periodic droughts. Nkayi is the ideal case study for examining the goat economy and ecology because of its diversity in environment and varied rural livelihoods. This study privileges analysis of primary data collected from semi-structured oral interviews with goat-keeping farmers, chiefs and contemporary reports as well as secondary sources - journal articles and books. Interviews were conducted in five areas of Nkayi District: Dopota, Fanisoni, Majaha, Madliwa and Vukuzenele (Dofamavu). The study adopts case study and sustainable livelihoods approaches focusing on goat farmers' perceptions of their animals' impact on the environment as well as the role that goats play in their livelihoods. Approximately 97 per cent of Zimbabwe's 3.5-million-goat herds are owned by small-holder farmers raising goats mostly for home consumption, and many of them are women. The study evaluates the degree to which rural livelihoods from farming are economically and ecologically sustainable in the medium-to-long-term in a drought-prone area of southern Africa.
Registration of Oilseed Sunflower Germplasms RHA 478, RHA 479, RHA 480, and HA 481 Providing Diversity in Resistance to Necrotrophic Pathogens of Sunflower
Authors: Koehler Brady D. , Gulya Thomas J. , Hulke Brent S.
Published: September 2019

Necrotropic pathogens such as Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary (causing Sclerotinia head and stalk rots) and Diaporthe spp. (causing Phomopsis stem cankers) have resulted in yield loss for the sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) industry. The combination of durable disease resistance and high yield potential is needed for increasing crop productivity and resilience. Our goal is to develop public inbred germplasms with high yield potential, tolerance to imidazolinone herbicides, and enhanced oilseed traits while adding genes for improved resistance to necrotrophic pathogens. RHA 478 (Reg. no. GP‐359, PI 688040), RHA 479 (Reg. no. GP‐360, PI 688041), and RHA 480 (Reg. no. GP‐361, PI 688042) are restorer inbred germplasm lines, and HA 481 (Reg. no. GP‐362, PI 688037) is a maintainer inbred germplasm developed with the pedigree breeding method and testcross hybrid trials for agronomic and disease evaluation. RHA 478, RHA 479, RHA 480, and HA 481 have high yield potential combined with disease resistance, and RHA 478 and HA 481 have high oleic acid in the seed oil. The lines were released by the USDA‐ARS in Fargo, ND, to provide germplasms with resistance to multiple diseases while also containing valuable agronomic traits.

Analytical prediction and optimization of torque characteristic for flux-concentration cage-type eddy-current couplings with slotted conductor rotor topology
Authors: Li Zhao , Yan Li , Qu Boyang , Fu Kai
Published: September 2019

In this paper, an analytical model is proposed to predict the magnetic field and torque characteristics of flux-concentration cage-type eddy-current couplings with slotted conductor rotor topology. Due to the presence of discontinuous boundary conditions in permanent magnet rotor domain and conductor rotor domain, the accurate sub-domain method is employed in polar coordinates. The permanent magnet domain and the conductor domain are divided into different sub-domain according to the number of poles and slots. The magnetic vector potential in each domain is obtained by solving the field equation based on the separated variable method. Then the magnetic field distributions and output torque are computed. By using the nonlinear 2D and 3D finite element analysis, the validity of such model is proved, and the cause of deviation is discussed. In the end, the proposed formula is used for a design optimization using particle swarm optimization algorithm.
Indomethacin dosing strategy and neonatal patent ductus arteriosus closure
Authors: Rathi P. , Messina C. , Mintzer J.P.
Published: September 2019

BACKGROUND:

Few studies exist that have evaluated the effects of indomethacin dosing frequency as a factor associated with successful patent ductus arteriosus closure in very low birth weight neonates. The objective of this study is to determine if indomethacin dosing strategy is associated with efficacy for initial patent ductus arteriosus management in very low birth weight neonates.

METHODS:

This retrospective review compared every 12 hour and every 24 hour indomethacin regimens primarily for efficacy in initial patent ductus arteriosus management, defined as an absence of repeat medical and/or surgical treatment, and secondarily for safety in both univariate and multivariate models.

RESULTS:

One hundred three very low birth weight neonates were included: 56 (54%) received every 12 hour and 47 (46%) underwent every 24 hour indomethacin dosing. Repeat medical and/or surgical patent ductus arteriosus treatment rates were similar between groups. Less ligation of the patent ductus arteriosus occurred with every 12 hour versus every 24 hour dosing (11% vs. 26%, p = 0.05), though this effect was mitigated controlling for birth weight and gestational age. Renal function, respiratory outcomes, feeding outcomes, length of stay, and mortality were similar between groups.

CONCLUSIONS:

Neither the every 12 hour nor the every 24 hour indomethacin regimen demonstrated inferior efficacy or safety for initial management of patent ductus arteriosus. Further prospective analysis of indomethacin dosing strategy is warranted.

Published: September 2019

BACKGROUND:

The reno-protective effect of therapeutic hypothermia in infants with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is still debatable. We aimed to study the effect of therapeutic hypothermia on the development and progress of acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonates with HIE.

METHODS:

Thirty full term infants with HIE were equally distributed between cooling group (selective head cooling) or non-cooling group (late presentation after 6 hours of birth). Serum creatinine, urine output (UOP), serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and serum cystatin C were measured at baseline, day 4 and day 10 of life.

RESULTS:

The incidence of AKI as per Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) criteria was comparable in cooling and non-cooling groups (40% versus 53%, respectively). Serum creatinine and UOP were significantly improved on day-4 and day-10 samples compared to base-line samples in both groups regardless of cooling. Therapeutic hypothermia was associated with a significant reduction in serum NGAL, but not cystatin C, level in day-4 and day-10 samples compared to the non-cooling group. Serum NGAL and cystatin C did not show a significant decline in day-4 and day-10 samples compared to baseline samples in both the cooled and non-cooled groups indicating an ongoing AKI.

CONCLUSIONS:

Therapeutic hypothermia was associated with less renal impairment when compared to infants with HIE who were not cooled. Continuing kidney injury may persist in asphyxiated newborns despite improvement in serum creatinine and UOP.

Kepribadian dalam Perspektif Sigmund Freud dan Al-Qur’an : Studi Komparatif
Authors: Helmy Muhammad Irfan
Published: September 2019

Human personality depicts an individual’s behavior and it is a formal object of psychology. Understanding human behavior is a vital and fundamental subject to understand human’s essence. The typology of behavioral concept is multifaceted and varied. In fact, various definitions of personality arrive at a single substance. This paper analyses Sigmund Freud’s concept on personality through the eye of Qur’an. The Qur’an made a personality concept as part of its focus. Through a comparative method, this study concludes that both Freud and the Qur’an argue that human personality consists of three components or potentials with different characteristics, yet integrated, to create human behavior and its personality. Freud calls them consecutively as Id, Ego and Superego; while the Quran calls them as Nafs, Akal and Kalbu. The difference between Freud and Quran on personality concept lies on the source where these three potentials came from. In Freud’s view, they came from the human being themselves internally or being influenced by their surroundings. Freud did not count God’s influence in his theory. According to Quran, however, the third potentials (Kalbu)depicts God’s values embedded in human being. Kalbu is called as a God’s disposition (tendency). Thus, Quranic concept on personality is theocentric while Freud’s is anthropocentric which is much dependent on rationality and morality of human being.

Published: September 2019

Background:  Smoking is a common habit prevalent in both urban and rural areas of India. Cigarette smoking has extensive effects on respiratory function and is clearly implicated in the etiology of a number of respiratory diseases, particularly chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and bronchial carcinoma. An attempt has been made to study the pulmonary function tests among the smoking and non-smoking population in the urban area of Secunderabad, Telangana, South India.

Objective: The primary objective of this research was to study the influence of smoking on pulmonary functions.

Design: This was a cross-sectional study.

Duration: One year i.e. from November 2014 to October 2015.

Setting: Gandhi Hospital, Secunderabad, Telangana, South India.

Participants: 80 patients attending the Medicine Out Patient Department, Gandhi Hospital.

Methods: The study subjects were classified as smokers or non-smokers based on WHO suggested classification criteria. After recording detailed history, smoking index was calculated for smokers to evaluate dose-duration response relationship. Spirometry was performed to assess the pulmonary function of the subjects. The results are given as Mean ± Standard deviation and Standard error values. Comparison performed using student’s t-test for 2 groups. The P value of 0.05 or less was considered significant.

Results: 57.5% of smokers were light smokers, 27.5% were moderate and 15% heavy smokers. FVC was significantly lower in smokers compared with non-smokers(p<0.05), Also this decrease was significantly higher as the no. of cigarettes smoked per day increased(p<0.05). FEF25-75% was also found to be significantly reduced in smokers compared with non-smokers. PEFR was significantly reduced in smokers and even this parameter showed a comparable fall(p<0.05) with intensity and duration of smoking. FEV1 also showed a significant decrease in smokers especially those with greater duration and amount of smoking (p<0.05). FEV1/FVC ratio showed a significant fall in smokers compared with non-smokers(p<0.05), but this fall was not so significant as the no. of cigarettes smoked per day increased(p>0.05), however like other indices FEV1/FVC showed a significant decrease(p<0.05) as the duration of smoking increased. 

Conclusion: It may be concluded that smoking causes definite pulmonary function impairments, especially the obstructive type.

Published: September 2019

Variations in renal hilar arrangement patterns and morphometric dimensions are clinically relevant in this age of advancing modern medicine and minimally invasive surgery. The purpose of the present study is to record variations in renal hilar arrangement patterns and assess renal dimensions of length, width and thickness respectively. Hilar regions of fifty isolated embalmed kidneys were carefully dissected and variations observed were photographed and documented. Renal dimensions were measured with digital calipers and values obtained were tabulated and analysed. Normal anteroposterior hilar arrangement pattern was observed in 72% cases. Anterior and posterior divisions of renal artery were observed in 24% cases with anterior division being the most anteriorly placed structure in 14% cases. The renal pelvis was situated between the divisions of the renal artery in 8% cases. Prehilar segmental branches anterior to renal vein were observed in 4% cases. Other variations seen included extrahilar branches (4%), superior polar artery arising from anterior division of renal artery, prehilar tributaries of renal vein and an additional renal artery in 1 case each. The mean renal length was 9.35+/- 0.98  cm for right and 9.25 +/- 1.25 cm for left kidneys, mean renal width  4.93 +/- 0.65 cm for right and 4.95 +/- 0.5 cm for left kidneys and mean renal thickness 3.77 +/- 0.7 cm for right and 3.86 +/- 0.53 cm for left kidneys respectively. No statistically significant difference was observed in the mean values between right and left sides. The clinical implications of these findings have been discussed. The findings of this study may enhance the existing literature and contribute additional information for improving treatment outcomes during clinical and surgical interventions.

Published: September 2019

Introdução: A trombose venosa profunda é uma complicação comum e intimamente relacionada às neoplasias. Novos anticoagulantes orais foram lançados nos últimos anos, entre eles a rivaroxabana. Objetivo: O estudo analisou o Custo-Efetividade e o Impacto Orçamentário da rivaroxabana versus enoxaparina. Método: Trata-se de uma coorte retrospectiva, realizada com população oncológica sob a perspectiva do Sistema Único de Saúde. Por meio do modelo de árvore de decisão foram comparados desfechos de sangramento e retrombose, e custos do tratamento da trombose venosa profunda com rivaroxabana ou enoxaparina em um horizonte temporal de sete meses. Custos diretos foram extraídos do Sistema de Gerenciamento da Sistema de Gerenciamento da Tabela de Procedimentos, Medicamentos, Órteses, Próteses e Materiais e Medicamentos Especiais do SUS (SIGTAP-SUS), e empregou-se a Planilha Brasileira de Impacto Orçamentário de tecnologias da saúde para avaliação do impacto orçamentário com base na população brasileira de 2017, em cinco anos. A análise de sensibilidade simulou cenários tanto na avaliação de custo-efetividade quanto na de impacto orçamentário. Resultados: Cento e cinquenta e três pacientes foram incluídos na análise de Custo-Efetividade com diversas neoplasias. A rivaroxabana demonstrou não inferioridade terapêutica comparada a enoxaparina. A razão de custo-efetividade incremental foi de R$5.521,71 por unidade de benefício ganho com a nova alternativa, rivaroxabana. Na análise de sensibilidade, a rivaroxabana manteve-se dominante. Foi demonstrada uma economia no impacto orçamentário incremental de R$ 85.950.791.129,21 com a utilização de rivaroxabana ao longo de cinco anos em comparação ao cenário de referência, e esta se manteve como opção mais econômica perante as análises de sensibilidade. Conclusão: A rivaroxabana, nesse contexto, apresentou-se como uma importante alternativa terapêutica.

Authors: Taran O. , Sandul O.
Published: September 2019

A special legislation on criminal liability for offences against critical infrastructure objects is currently under development in Ukraine. The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine adopted the Concept for the development of a state system for critical infrastructure protection.

The paper considers this legal area with regard to objects in the nuclear industry in the general context of critical infrastructure protection. It provides the current state in the legal regulation of fundamentals of criminal liability for offences against the critical infrastructure objects in the nuclear industry. The issue on the sufficiency and appropriateness of the existing level of such a liability is discussed further.

The paper presents the list of some main critical infrastructure objects in accordance with the regulatory documents in the sphere of critical infrastructure protection and their classification.

In addition, such concepts as “critical infrastructure” (relatively new notion in the national legislation), “unlawful intrusion”, “computer crimes”, “critical information infrastructure” and other concepts important to the nuclear industry were considered in this research. The notions presented in different regulatory documents were analyzed.

The paper emphasizes that the legislation of Ukraine does not currently present special (separate) standards on the criminal liability for offences against critical infrastructure objects. Some promising issues related to fundamentals of the criminal liability and protection of critical infrastructure objects in the nuclear industry were also considered.

The research involves the prospect of further development of a special law to define the area for improving relevant legislation on general regulation of these issues.

The paper also stresses on the need to introduce some changes to the Criminal Code of Ukraine with respect to certain articles of section XIV.
