Published: March 2024

Background: Meta-analytic results have revealed a significant influence of stress on a wide array of psychological and behavioral markers, underscoring its considerable clinical importance. Providing a simple and cost-effective tool assessing stress for the Arabic-speaking population, predominantly residing in low- and middle-income nations, where research can be arduous, would be immensely beneficial. Therefore, our aim was to examine the psychometric properties of an Arabic version of the Stress Numerical Rating Scale-11 (Arabic SNRS-11), including its factor structure, reliability, and construct validity.
Methods: 763 participants were recruited during November 2023. An anonymous self-administered Google Forms link was distributed via social media networks. To explore the factor structure of the Arabic SNRS-11, we utilized the FACTOR software. Initially, an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed, employing principal component analysis on the items from the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Subsequently, the analysis was repeated after integrating the Arabic SNRS-11.
Results: The results of the EFA revealed two factors, which explained 66.43% of the common variance. When adding the SNRS-11, Bartlett’s test of sphericity, χ2(55) = 4127.1, p < .001, and KMO (.88) remained adequate. The two-factor solution obtained explained 63.28% of the variance. The same structure was obtained in both males and females separately. McDonald’s ω and Cronbach’s α were very good for all models. Both PSS and Arabic SNRS-11 scores correlated significantly and positively with each other, as well as with higher depression, anxiety and stress scores. Finally, no significant difference was found between males and females in terms of PSS and Arabic SNRS-11 scores.
Conclusion: The findings indicate that the Arabic SNRS-11 is a cost-effective, valid, and reliable tool for assessing stress. Therefore, we strongly recommend its adoption in future research involving Arabic-speaking adolescents in clinical and research contexts within Arab regions, especially when researchers face limitations in terms of time or resources.

Thouless pumping in Josephson junction arrays
Authors: Athanasiou Stavros , Nielsen Ida Egholm , Wauters Matteo M. , Burrello Michele
Published: March 2024

Recent advancements in fabrication techniques have enabled unprecedented clean interfaces and gate tunability in semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures. Inspired by these developments, we propose protocols to realize Thouless quantum pumping in electrically tunable Josephson junction arrays. We analyze, in particular, the implementation of the Rice-Mele and the Harper-Hofstadter pumping schemes, whose realization would validate these systems as flexible platforms for quantum simulations. We investigate numerically the long-time behavior of chains of controllable superconducting islands in the Coulomb-blockaded regime. Our findings provide new insights into the dynamics of periodically driven interacting systems and highlight the robustness of Thouless pumping with respect to boundary effects typical of superconducting circuits.

Se você está contente, compra coisas? O poder preditivo do bem-estar subjetivo sobre compras materiais
Authors: Aquino Sibele D. , Natividade Jean C.
Published: March 2024

O objetivo do presente estudo foi testar o poder explicativo do bem-estar subjetivo, da personalidade e de variáveis sociodemográficas sobre a preferência por compras materiais. Um questionário online foi aplicado em 1.238 brasileiros adultos, com média de idade de 34,6 anos (DP = 13,3), sendo 69,1% mulheres. A amostra contou com respondentes de todas as regiões do Brasil, sendo a maioria do Sudeste. Foram aplicadas as escalas de Satisfação de Vida, de Afetos Positivo e Negativo -PANAS-, Short Affect Intensity -SAIS-Brasil- e de Reduzida de Descritores de Personalidade -RED5-. As análises de regressão logística indicaram que quanto mais aumentam a renda familiar percebida e a extroversão, menor é a probabilidade de indivíduos escolherem produtos materiais. Em contrapartida, à medida que a idade e a dimensão Serenidade da SAIS-Brasil são maiores, aumentam as chances de os indivíduos escolherem produtos materiais em uma compra espontânea. Discute-se as definições de compra experiencial e material conforme a literatura tem apresentado. Para a literatura de bem-estar subjetivo, os resultados adicionam insights a respeito do papel do bem-estar subjetivo sobre escolhas rotineiras dos indivíduos. O estudo traz o crucial ponto de que frequência de afetos aparentemente não prediz a variável desfecho, retirando das emoções uma carga de responsabilidade sobre algumas compras, e abrindo caminho para outros trabalhos que corroborem ou refutem os achados. Esta pesquisa amplia a compreensão das diferenças individuais nos comportamentos de compra, e do papel do bem-estar subjetivo no consumo.

Published: March 2024

Van Gujjars are a nomadic community of herders in Uttarakhand. This ethnographic study examines the tradition of bead jewellery among Van Gujjar women to build an understanding of gendered identity in the Van Gujjar community. Our primary focus is to analyze the beliefs, ideas, and communal perspectives that influence the lives of these craftswomen, ultimately providing a nuanced understanding of how gender roles manifest, negotiate, and perpetuate within the unique socio-cultural context of the Van Gujjar community. Employing ethnographic methods and observation techniques, we engaged with a group of itinerant Van Gujjars near Byulyaad, in Uttarkashi district. Immersive interview techniques were employed to collect data, shedding light on the lived experiences, subjectivity, and sense-making processes of Van Gujjar women engaged in bead crafts. By analyzing the beliefs, ideas, and communal views that underpin the lives of these craftswomen, we aim to provide a nuanced understanding of how gender roles are manifested, negotiated, and reproduced within the unique context of the Van Gujjar community.
Indigenous Environmentalism through Dance: The Ohaji-Egbema Experiment in South-Eastern Nigeria
Authors:   Theatre Arts Programme, Bowen University, Iwo Osun State, Nigeria, Abakporo Princewill Chukwuma , Ohenhen Stanley Timeyin
Published: March 2024

Scholars in the environmental humanities have engaged critically in how literature and the performing arts have absorbed the spirit of environmentalism as other disciplines have done. The greening of the humanities has been a subject of discussion from the last quarter of the 20th century. Ecoliterary discourse, ecofilms and ecomusicology have become buzz concepts in the arena of the environmental discourse. However, we argue in this study, that there is a paucity of critical works on how indigenous dance art forms can be used to communicate environmental stability, ecological consciousness, and be used as a medium to resist anthropocentric ideals. The questions that this paper raises are: In what ways can indigenous dances in Nigeria communicate ecological consciousness in the country? How and to what extent can indigenous dances be employed to discuss culture-nature entanglements in degraded sites? The researchers relied on Indigenous Standpoint theory, existing literature, interviews, and focus group discussions with stakeholders (indigenes, ministry heads, and oil company employees) and visits to oil-degraded sites in Ohaji/Egbema for information on the taxonomy, politics, and conflicts of space and oil in the region. In line with data gathered, indigenous songs and dances were packaged and performed to provide the much-needed platform for stakeholders (indigenes, government and oil firms) to rethink environmentally oppressive actions in the region toward ensuring environmental stewardship. This study examines the ways in which indigenous dance in Igbo land, Nigeria, can embody indices of indigenous environmentalism. It can also be a path towards decolonizing colonial ecological frameworks and epistemologies.
The Capitalocene Versus Indigenous Eco-justice in Helon Habila’s Oil on Water
Authors:   Assistant Professor: Brainware University., Bose Trina
Published: March 2024

Capitalistic disruptions on the face of the earth and the consequent climatic changes appear as serious global threats in the contemporary era caused by uncontrolled materialistic quests. Helon Habila’s Oil on Water depicts the saga of the perpetual predicament of the dehumanized Indigenous people in Nigeria, who inhabit a land of contaminated water, soil, air, and food induced by inconsiderate oil mining of the British oil companies which colonize and hegemonize both the human and the non-human world. Habila juxtaposes an unyielding decolonizing movement through the revolt of the Indigenous people against the oil extracting companies for eco-justice, which causes decay and death in the vulnerable Indigenous communities. The human-nature dichotomy triggered by capitalism translates into the massive destruction of the livelihood of the poor Indigenous people who rely on natural resources for survival and are not responsible for the detrimental environmental metamorphoses leading to their unemployment and displacements. Using the theoretical framework of eco-Marxism, this study examines the conflict between the commodification of nature and indigenous environmental justice in the Niger Delta. It investigates the politics of oil extraction and how it impacts the people of the region.
A perspective for the acceptance of water reuse: history of the valorization of wastewater throughout the development of society
Authors: Santos Ana Silvia Pereira , Lima Maira Araujo de Mendonça , Paixão Mickaela Midon , Jordão Eduardo Pacheco , Vieira José Manuel Pereira
Published: March 2024

Water reuse has been practiced for more than 5,000 years with different approaches by society throughout historical periods. We developed a concept that presents evidence and artistic-cultural manifestations about episodes of valorization (V), devaluation (D), and revaluation (R) of wastewater (WW) throughout history, called ‘Historical Development VxDxR/WW’. We conclude that WW has had a long valorization period of more than 3,500 years; the WW devaluation period lasted approximately 150 years; and in the last 100 years, there has been an attempt to revalue WW, with scientific, legal, and technological advances. We believe that a broad understanding of this concept can drive a true paradigm shift to guide public policies and appropriate decision-making, in the context of efficient water management. To guarantee a safe, sustainable, and economically viable water reuse practice, it is necessary to develop and implement a regulatory framework that involves, in addition to legal aspects, regional strategic planning and the production of social education instruments for the acceptance of water reuse. In this sense, this concept can pave the way for the necessary and expected advances.

Authors: Azhra Shabrina Yumna , Alsamiri Yasir , Putro Nur Hidayanto Pancoro Setyo
Published: March 2024

Emotional intelligence and burnout of teachers are highly discussed in previous studies. This study set out to examine (1) the dimensions of emotional intelligence, (2) the dimensions of burnout, (3) the level of burnout, and (4) the relationship among the dimensions of in-service English teachers in Yogyakarta. The method used in this study is a quantitative correlational study through a survey. The instruments used were questionnaires adapted from the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and The Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT). The participants of this study were 204 in-service English teachers in Yogyakarta. The data were analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to find out the dimensions of emotional intelligence and burnout of the teachers and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to find the relationship among the dimensions of EI and burnout. The findings show that the emotional intelligence emerged into four dimensions, namely perception of emotion, managing own emotion, managing other’s emotions, and utilization of emotions, while the dimensions of teachers burnout emerged into four dimensions namely occupational exhaustion, depersonalisation, and personal accomplishment. Surprisingly the findings show something unusual, it contrasts with several previous findings regarding the level of teachers’ burnout.

Evaluation of Staining Propensity of Silver Diamine Fluoride With and Without Potassium Iodide in Children (Project Healthy Smiles): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Navaneethan Praveena , Mohammed Imran Pasha , Shenoy Rekha P , Junaid Junaid , Amanna Supriya , Alsughier Zeyad , Kolarkodi Shaul Hameed
Published: March 2024

Background

Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is becoming more widely recognized as a simple, cost-effective approach to minimize sensitivity and arrest caries. However, SDF results in caries that are stained black. Potassium iodide (KI) treatment with SDF may minimize or lessen the staining. However, the effectiveness of KI on staining has not been investigated. Studies demonstrating that potassium iodide reduces the black staining are still insufficient. This paper presents the study protocol for Healthy Smiles, a randomized controlled trial implemented to compare the staining propensity of SDF and SDF+KI.

Objective

This study, Healthy Smiles, aims to evaluate the staining propensity of SDF and SDF+KI using a Nix Mini color sensor among children aged 4 to 6 years. Another objective of the study is to evaluate the caries-arresting effect of SDF and SDF+KI in the treatment of carious primary teeth.

Methods

This study is a randomized controlled trial. A total of 60 children with caries that meet the criteria of the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (code 1 or above) will be randomly assigned to treatment groups, where group 1 will be treated with SDF and group 2 will be treated with SDF+KI. Discoloration of treated lesions will be assessed digitally using a Nix Mini color sensor. Participants will be followed up at 1, 3, and 6 months after treatment to digitally record the ∆L and ∆E values using the Nix Mini color sensor. Data will be analyzed using SPSS (version 28; IBM Corp). Independent sample t tests and the Mann-Whitney U test will be used to compare the 2 groups.

Results

Enrollment started in October 2023. It is estimated that the enrollment period will be 12 months. Data collection is planned to be completed in 2024.

Conclusions

The presented paper describes Happy Smiles, a project that provides an opportunity to address the aesthetic inconvenience of patients without compromising the effectiveness of the SDF treatment. The trial findings will contribute to the limited evidence base related to discoloration after SDF intervention to improve aesthetic appearances in child oral health. If the results from the trial are promising, it will lead to the development of a model for child oral health and pave the way for further research in child oral health.

ChatGPT as a Tool for Medical Education and Clinical Decision-Making on the Wards: Case Study
Authors: Skryd Anthony , Lawrence Katharine
Published: March 2024

Background

Large language models (LLMs) are computational artificial intelligence systems with advanced natural language processing capabilities that have recently been popularized among health care students and educators due to their ability to provide real-time access to a vast amount of medical knowledge. The adoption of LLM technology into medical education and training has varied, and little empirical evidence exists to support its use in clinical teaching environments.

Objective

The aim of the study is to identify and qualitatively evaluate potential use cases and limitations of LLM technology for real-time ward-based educational contexts.

Methods

A brief, single-site exploratory evaluation of the publicly available ChatGPT-3.5 (OpenAI) was conducted by implementing the tool into the daily attending rounds of a general internal medicine inpatient service at a large urban academic medical center. ChatGPT was integrated into rounds via both structured and organic use, using the web-based “chatbot” style interface to interact with the LLM through conversational free-text and discrete queries. A qualitative approach using phenomenological inquiry was used to identify key insights related to the use of ChatGPT through analysis of ChatGPT conversation logs and associated shorthand notes from the clinical sessions.

Results

Identified use cases for ChatGPT integration included addressing medical knowledge gaps through discrete medical knowledge inquiries, building differential diagnoses and engaging dual-process thinking, challenging medical axioms, using cognitive aids to support acute care decision-making, and improving complex care management by facilitating conversations with subspecialties. Potential additional uses included engaging in difficult conversations with patients, exploring ethical challenges and general medical ethics teaching, personal continuing medical education resources, developing ward-based teaching tools, supporting and automating clinical documentation, and supporting productivity and task management. LLM biases, misinformation, ethics, and health equity were identified as areas of concern and potential limitations to clinical and training use. A code of conduct on ethical and appropriate use was also developed to guide team usage on the wards.

Conclusions

Overall, ChatGPT offers a novel tool to enhance ward-based learning through rapid information querying, second-order content exploration, and engaged team discussion regarding generated responses. More research is needed to fully understand contexts for educational use, particularly regarding the risks and limitations of the tool in clinical settings and its impacts on trainee development.
Myogenesis of Porcine Muscle Satellite Cells by Extracellular Matrix From Fibrotic Adipose Tissue-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Authors: Kim Do Hyun , Hong Seong Joon , Han Seo Gu , Kwon Hyuk Cheol , Jung Hyun Su , Han Jong Hyeon , Keum Dong Hyun , Park Jinryong , Do Jeong Tae , Han Sung Gu
Published: March 2024

Cultivated meat relies on the production of muscle tissue using cell culture techniques. Myogenesis is a cellular differentiation process in which muscle satellite cells (SC) transform into myoblasts, or myotubes. The extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a pivotal role in meat quality, myogenesis, SC proliferation, and muscle tissue development to replicate meat texture. Because fibrotic differentiation and ECM are involved in the myogenic process, we aimed to induce myogenesis in SC using fibrotic differentiation of adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSC). ADSC, fibroblasts (FC), and SC were isolated from the back fat, ear margin tissues, and femur muscle tissues, respectively, of a 1-year-old Berkshire piglet. ADSC were treated with connective tissue growth factor (CTGF; 0, 12.5, 25, or 50 ng/mL) for 72 h to induce fibrotic differentiation. Conditioned media from differentiated ADSC and FC were prepared and labeled CA-CM and F-CM, respectively. SC were exposed to CA-CM or F-CM to assess their effects on myogenesis. The results demonstrated α-smooth muscle actin and collagen I as the optimal markers for assessing fibrotic differentiation in ADSC. CTGF significantly elevated both mRNA and protein expression of α-smooth muscle actin and collagen I (P < 0.05), suggesting that CTGF acts as an inducer of fibrotic differentiation in ADSC. Moreover, CTGF elevated the expression of ECM components (laminin, fibronectin, and collagen I) in ADSC (P < 0.05). mRNA expression of myogenesis-related genes (MyoG, MyoD, Myf5, and Myf6) increased in SC exposed to both CA-CM and F-CM (P < 0.05). Our data revealed that fibrotic differentiation of ADSC increased ECM production, and ECM-containing conditioned medium induced myogenesis in SC. These findings indicate that ECM-containing conditioned medium is a good option for enhancing myogenesis in SC, with potential implications for cultivated meat production.

Air Writing Word Recognition and Translation
Authors: Karande Ms. Neha Ganesh
Published: March 2024

Abstract: Project develops a system that can recognize the air-written words in free space, and then classify the recognized word. Air-writing is the new way of writing the linguistic words in free area using hand or finger movements. This project could be a combination of computer vision hand chase and handwriting recognition machine learning. The air writing recognition system uses the web camera of a pc to trace word written within the air by the user and then uses a convolutional neural network to classify the word into one of the possible classes. Several current systems use advanced and high-priced chase setups to realize gesture recognition, however, we tend to get to form a system that may attain a similar work with a far cheaper setup.
The Effects of Surrounding Factors on Building Health in Urban Neighbourhood
Authors: Aphale Ar. Leena Prasad
Published: March 2024

Abstract: Urbanization has become an increasingly important factor in the lifespan of buildings. As the population in urban areas continues to grow, many buildings fail to reach their expected life expectancy of 50-60 years due to multiple factors. In addition to poor construction, climate, architecture plan and design, material quality, human errors, health monitoring, geological conditions, and natural disasters can all adversely affect the building health. This paper examines the connection of urbanization and the deterioration of buildings and explores the various components contributing in the construction and postconstruction stages. It also discusses the various factors that impact building health and whether it measures the impact on buildings. Lastly, it examines the climate impact on buildings and the measures that can be taken while designing and postconstruction. The paper concludes that city development directly impacts the speed of building deterioration. To keep buildings healthy and sustainable, it is important to contemplate all the factors that can influence the building health and to measure the impact of these factors, incorporate project management and quality control practices into architectural design and implementation, and to take steps to mitigate the effects of climate change. By doing so, urban infrastructure-building life spans can be extended, and buildings can be kept in good condition for longer periods of time.
On the Stability of Eccentrically Compressed Reinforced Concrete Elements with a Small Eccentricity, Taking into Account the Rheological Properties of Concrete
Authors: Tamrazyan A. G.
Published: March 2024

In the practice of modern construction, flexible centrally and eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete elements are becoming more common. In this regard, the relevance of studying their work and the mechanism of bearing capacity exhaustion increases. There are two directions in determining the bearing capacity of these elements: calculation for stability and calculation for strength. The loss of stability in a number of cases, obviously, can cause the destruction of not only centrally, but also eccentrically compressed rods with small eccentricities, since under certain conditions they can practically turn out to be close in their work. The stability of these eccentrically compressed rods is calculated by multiple integration. Such a calculation is especially laborious for reinforced concrete elements. This article is devoted to the study of the stability of centrally and eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete rods with small eccentricities, taking into account the creep of concrete. An eccentrically compressed rod with a small eccentricity of length l is replaced by a centrally compressed rod of length l0 so that the bending arrow includes the eccentricity. The numerical values of the rheological coefficients are determined from the boundary values of the reduced stiffness, which varies along the length of the rod. Complicated integration is replaced by the solution of the differential equation of the bent axis of the rod in the form of a sinusoid half-wave.

In this article, the authors present the results of a study of unreinforced and reinforced stone vaulted ceilings, which included numerical and physical experiments. We have also developed our own constructive measures to strengthen stone vaulted ceilings, based on the introduction of composite flexible rods into the body of the luggage in optimal places and, in turn, allowing to increase the efficiency and safety of work. The article presents the process of creating a homogeneous and heterogeneous model, which made it technically possible to solve problems with modeling reinforcement in masonry.

Published: March 2024

The article presents a calculation of rubber-metal vibration isolators with five holes of different diameters using a software package that implements the finite element method. A comparative analysis of the Eigen frequencies of rubber-metal vibration isolators with five holes (one in the center, 4 symmetrically at the corners) and without holes is presented. Finite element models of a rubber-metal vibration isolator with and without holes are modeled, and their characteristics are analyzed. The results show that vibration isolators with several symmetrically located holes have several advantages in a number of parameters to vibration isolators without holes, and, therefore, can be used for vibration isolation of buildings, especially in the case of delayed installation of vibration protection.

Published: March 2024

The construction of a mathematical model based on the finite element method for determining the stress-strain state of a 25-storey reinforced concrete building on a multilayer deformable foundation is considered. 

The sensitivity of the physical and mechanical characteristics of the building and foundation material to the type of stress state, the development of plastic deformations in reinforcement, damage in the form of cracking, and induced heterogeneity are taken into account. The relations for nonlinear isotropic materials proposed in the frame-work of the theory of normalized stress spaces are taken as constitutive relations. A modification of a multilayer triangular hybrid finite element with five degrees of freedom in the node is formulated to describe the features of the mechanical behavior of building structures. A description is given of methods for modeling fictitious layers of an element corresponding to various variants of the stress-strain state of reinforced concrete. Quantitative estimates of the stress-strain state of the combined "building-base" system under the action of static loads of two types are obtained in the form of graphs of the dependence of dis-placements on the magnitude of the load in floor slabs and pylons. According to the results of the research, it was confirmed that taking into account "complicated" ones is necessary to obtain correct estimates of the stress-strain state of buildings.

Published: March 2024

Existing composite floor design approaches require technical data on strength and ductility of shear connectors, which can be defined only by shear tests. The article discusses the failure modes of composite floor shear connection, made of powder-actuated shear connectors. The influence assessment of the main detailing parameters on the strength and deformability of shear connectors was executed.  The database for analysis included the results of shear tests performed by both the authors and other researchers. According to the results of the study, the dependence of the strength and deformability of shear connectors on their height, orientation relative to the shear force vector, the strength of the concrete slab and the geometric parameters of the profiled flooring was estimated.
How overqualification, job crafting, and workgroup emotional climate affect college teachers' innovation behavior

Published: March 2024

College teachers are producers of scientific knowledge, and innovative behavior is important to this group, especially since overqualification is a common phenomenon. However, there is much debate about the effect of overqualification on innovation behavior. Therefore, we used statistical
analysis software to explore the interaction mechanisms between overqualification and college teachers' innovation behavior using data from 368 questionnaires. Overqualification was found to be negatively related to college teachers' innovation behavior, and job crafting played a mediating
role in this relationship. Further, workgroup emotional climate was positively related to college teachers' innovation behavior, and also had a moderating effect on the relationship between overqualification and college teachers' innovation behavior. This study can help scholars to further
understand the influence of individual- and organization-level variables on college teachers' innovation behavior.

Published: March 2024

We investigated the longitudinal associations among relative deprivation, maladaptive cognition, and internet addiction in Chinese university students. We gave 912 university students assessments at four time points (every 6 months) over the first 2 years of their enrollment at college.
Cross-lagged panel analysis revealed the presence of positive correlations among relative deprivation, maladaptive cognition, and internet addiction. Moreover, these associations were dynamic and bidirectional across the four time points. Furthermore, maladaptive cognition played a bidirectional
mediating role in the association between relative deprivation and internet addiction across the time points. Relative deprivation and internet addiction appeared to generate a positive feedback loop, which formed a vicious cycle. The exaggeration of the advantages of using the internet may
lead to internet addiction, while an exaggeration of one's supposedly disadvantaged circumstances may lead to increased relative deprivation.
Chinese young adults' perception of fertility: Emotional contagion in fertility policy discussions on Sina Weibo

Published: March 2024

We investigated the reactions and preferences of the Chinese populace, particularly young adults, toward China's three-child policy, a recent strategy aimed at addressing the nation's aging population that allows couples to have up to three children. By monitoring Sina Weibo discussions
related to fertility policies, we gauged public sentiment and potential emotional contagion. We collected 711 main posts and 26,515 responses and used the sentiment analysis method to identify the emotional tendencies of each post, thus determining if emotional contagion occurred. Results
showed there were 631 posts with negative emotional contagion effects and 554 posts with positive emotional contagion effects. Further textual analysis indicated that the Chinese public maintains a pessimistic outlook on the three-child policy and expresses concern about the detrimental impact
of social circumstances and the difficulties women encounter concerning fertility.
