Organizational Conflicts During Universities Transformation: Destruam et Aedificabo
Authors: Tomilin Oleg B. , Klyuev Alexey K. , Drugova Elena A.
Published: June 2019

Introduction. The authors tackle the topical problem of assessing the conflict level between subidentical groups: “management academics” (professors and lectures staff) and “academic managers” (administrative managing staff). The aim of the paper is to construct a new method of quantitative assessment of the conflict level between professional groups generated by the organizational culture; to study the dynamics of the change in the conflict level between professional and age-based cohorts existing in Russian universities.
Materials and Methods. In this study, the conflict level is defined as a difference of common cultural vectors found for each of target age-groups, demonstrating generations’ behavioral features and their professional competence, set up as the result of analysis of expert assessments with the help of organizational culture methods developed by the Organizational Cultural Assessment Instrument of K. Сameron and R. Quinn. Empirical data are taken from sociological research involving 384 respondents from 18 universities representing 12 regions of the Russian Federation.
Results. It is shown that activity of the considered target bunches is under significant influence of hierarchical (bureaucratic) organizational culture. This objective circumstance of proceeding transformation processes forms the basis for fragmentation of existing academic identity into those intra-university bunches which are combined both in terms of valuable patterns of generations and patterns formed under the influence of social and economic conditions. Interference of various age-grade valuable patterns under permanent current transformation invokes escalation of strife, its minimum level is reached in identical age-grades of professors and lectures staff (“management academics”) and administrative managing staff (“academic managers”). A certain influence on the level of conflicts between the target groups under consideration is produced by the degree of goals adequacy and objectives of the university available resources (competence, material, technical, and financial base).
Discussion and Conclusion The novelty of the conducted research lies in consideration of conflict problems in universities arisen from the increasing differentiation of general cultural vectors of university communities. Complex, sustainable and reproducible nature of this social phenomenon, linking together both value and behavioral aspects of university communities, requires a transformation of research tactics. The research materials might be useful in practical work of heads of universities as scientific and methodological recommendations for the study and prediction of conflict processes i n universities.

Published: June 2019

Earth’s cryosphere is shrinking. The cryosphere is the frozen part of our planet that is covered by solid water and where ground temperature remains below 0°C for at least some part of the year. From the North to the South Pole, as well as on the highest altitudes, scientists have recently observed the seasonal snow cover decreasing, the permafrost thawing, and the ice retreating.
Utilization of  Schizochytrium mangrovei  PQ6 as feed for rotifer  Brachionus plicatilis  in rearing black sleeper’s larvae (Bostrichthys sinensis, Lacepede, 1881)
Authors: Cong Pham Thanh , Anh Hoang Thi Lan , Hong Dang Diem
Published: June 2019

Schizochytrium mangrovei PQ6 contains many important polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22: 6w-3), eicosahexaenoic acid (EPA, C20: 5w-3) and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA, C22: 5w-6). These fatty acids are essential for survival and growth of many marine fish larvae. In this paper, fresh biomass of S. mangrovei PQ6 was used for culturing rotifer Brachionus plicatilis. In the first formula (L1), rotifers were fed on baker’s yeast; in second formula (L2), rotifers were fed on mixed two microalgae, Nannochloropsis oculata and Chaetoceros gracilis; in the third formula (L3), rotifers were fed on S. mangrovei PQ6 biomass. The results indicated that S. mangrovei PQ6 biomass can replace baker’s yeast and autotrophic microalgae in feeding rotifers. Total lipid, total fatty acid and polyunsaturated fatty acid contents of rotifers fed on formula 3 (S. mangrovei PQ6) were higher than those within others. High polyunsaturated fatty acid (C ≥ 20) in omega-3 and 6 groups; DHA and DPA contents of rotifers fed on S. mangrovei PQ6 were the highest, accounting for 39.81% of total fatty acid; 41.95% and 8.24% polyunsaturated fatty acids, corresponding to 20.52; 12.15 and 2.4 mg/g of dried weight, respectively.The survival rate of black sleeper’s larvae was highest when they were fed on rotifers grown on L3 formula (51.20 ± 0.89%), followed by L2 formula (48.70 ± 2.67%) and the lowest with L1 formula (43.44 ± 1.54%) (P < 0.05). However, among three formulas, no significant difference was found in the growth of black sleeper’s larvae (P > 0.05). These results suggest that biomass of S. mangrovei PQ6 can replace traditional feed like autotrophic microalgae or baker’s yeast for biomass culture of the Brachionus plicatilis rotifer for rearing black sleeper’s larvae to enhance seed quality to meet demands of market.
Att samhandla med manualer: föränderliga deltagare i skolors hälsofrämjande arbete
Authors: Gunnarsson Karin
Published: June 2019

I denna text ställs frågor om hur skolors hälsofrämjande arbete formas och blir till tillsammans med manualer. Syftet är att undersöka vad manualerna gör och hur de görs som samhandlande aktörer i detta arbete. Genom att studera händelser i ett manualbaserat program med aktör-nätverksteori blir fokus hur manualer, elever, gruppledare, klassrum och känslor samverkar och samskapas i det hälsofrämjande arbetet. I analysen framkommer hur manualer sammankopplade i nätverk blir till en trygg aktör, en aktör som tillsammans med evidens och forskning erbjuder kunskap om de elever som deltar och hur hälsa ska främjas. De blir samtidigt obekväma och stressande aktörer. Analysen visar hur manualerna samtidigt blir poröst konstruerade och stabilt fixerande. Med denna förståelse av hur manualerna inverkar i det hälsofrämjande arbetet blir det svårt att förutse dess effekter och verkningar. Ambitionen måste då vara att utforma ett hälsofrämjande arbete med engagemang och experimenterande, en praktik där många berättelser och världar kan ta form.

Published: June 2019

This study aims to examine the perception of practitioners on the construction of linkage systems between general lifelong education institutions and lifelong education institutions for people with disabilities and needs on specific methods. Our research is based on analysis of the survey results from 200 practitioners in lifelong education institutions for people with disabilities and 200 practitioners in general education institutions. The major results are as follows. First, practitioners in lifelong education institutions for people with disabilities showed higher perceptions of the necessity of building the linkage system than those working in general lifelong education institutions. Regarding the management of the linkage system, the practitioners in the lifelong education institute for people with disabilities considered the education execution work as the most important. whereas the practitioners in the general lifelong education institution regarded the operation support work as the most important. Both working-level officers of the two agencies expected that establishing an interagency system would increase social awareness of the need for lifelong education for people with disabilities and increase their choice of education programs. On the other hand, when considering possible problems in establishing the linkage system, the staff at the institution's lifelong education center was concerned about difficulties due to lack of learning materials for those with disabilities, whereas the staff at the general lifelong education institution was most concerned about the lack of expertise for people with disabilities. Second, there were high-level needs for budgeting and supporting programs for operating lifelong education programs for people with disabilities, and most respondents answered that the Lifelong Education Promotion Institutes in each region were most suitable for the ministry that oversees tasks related to revitalizing the linkage system between general and special institutions. In order to activate the link between general lifelong education institutions and lifelong education institutions for people with disabilities, it is mandatory for special education workers to complete courses for teaching people with disabilities, to strengthen the professionalism of practitioners, to expand the budget for lifelong education for people with disabilities, to expand amenities within lifelong education institutions, and to designate a ministry that is based on the linkage system.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Special Education, Baek Sujin , Kim Jinho
Published: June 2019

The ecological education curriculum has been one of the most important issues in the field of special education. The ultimate goal of special education is to maximize students’ capabilities to adapt themselves to diverse ecological environments, so that they can achieve competency to lead independent lives. The purpose of this study was to develop an ecological curriculum content structure for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Research methods to be utilized for the study were established and curriculum content areas and elements were selected through literature review and analyzing previous studies. Delphi surveys were conducted by a group of experts to validate the content structure of the ecological curriculum. The ecological curriculum content structure was based on the results of the literature review, the expert interview, and the delphi surveys. The results were as follows. The content areas of the ecological curriculum consisted of four categories: “Home Life”, “School Life”, “Community Life”, and “Vocational Life”. The sub-areas involved 14 items: “Personal Hygiene Management”, “Daily Life Self-Management”, “Food-Clothing-Shelter Management”, “Economic Life and Money Management”, “Safety and Health Management”, “School Life Basic Skill”, “Social Skill”, “Communication Skill”, “Self-Determination Skill”, “Functional Subject Skill”, “Community Participation”, “Leisure Life”, “Job Preparation Skill”, and “Job Life.” Seventy-seven content elements according to the sub-areas and 218 activity skills according to the content elements were developed. This content structure helps students with intellectual and developmental disabilities to learn functional skills required in various ecological environments systematically, depending on the level of each individual student. This ecological curriculum content structure will also be a useful resource to establish comprehensive life-long plans and to assess the individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities even after completing their schooling at each stage of the life cycle by their families and life-long educational institutes.
An experimental investigation of the consolidation process under triangular cyclic loading
Authors: Amiri Amin , Toufigh Mohammad Mohsen , Toufigh Vahid
Published: June 2019

When saturated, clayey soils are subjected to compressive stress and there is a time lag between the applied stress and the extrusion of pore water; there is thus a lag in the settlement. Soils under structures such as silos, tanks and so on may be subjected to cyclic loading. The theories that can be used for the calculation of consolidated settlement under cyclic loadings, such as triangular cyclic loading, contain errors due to the assumptions used in the derivations of mathematical equations. Thus, using these theories can create significant errors. The characteristics of the cyclic load, the surcharge and the specimen can affect the consolidation settlement as well as the time to achieve a steady state. Thus, in this research, one-dimensional consolidation of clay subjected to triangular cyclic loading was experimentally investigated under several conditions. The results showed that the ultimate consolidation settlement of a clay layer and the time to reach this state decreased with an increase in surcharge and an increase in cyclic time. Furthermore, the experimental results showed significant differences from the results obtained using theoretical methods.
Water network renewal strategy: a case study of Aigües De Barcelona
Authors: Roigé Núria , Pujadas Pablo , Cardús Jaume , Aguado Antonio
Published: June 2019

This paper presents a consistent and transparent methodology for the prioritisation of the pipeline sections to be renewed in the whole Aigües de Barcelona (AB) urban water network. The prioritisation index for pipeline renewal serves to evaluate the risk impact, in terms of sustainability, of each section of pipeline in the water distribution network for the purpose of its eventual renewal. Sections with higher prioritisation indices should thus be proposed as the first to be renewed. This methodology represents a meaningful step towards a sustainable and reliable management of water assets. Different economic, environmental and social aspects were considered through a probabilistic multi-criteria decision framework and an analytic hierarchy process was used to conciliate all stakeholder interests. A case study conducted for AB, a Spanish utility company dedicated to services, distribution and treatment of water, is presented in this article to show how the method gives accurate, consistent and repeatable evaluations.

The hauntological imaginary in Bernadine Evaristo’s Soul Tourists (2005)
Authors: Moji Polo B.
Published: June 2019

This article examines the novel, Soul Tourists (2005), by Bernadine Evaristo, a black British writer of Nigerian and English descent, through the notion of hauntology. Based on the author’s assertion that “her preoccupation is her DNA,” I explore the novel’s depiction of a black British couple—Stanley and Jessie—as they take a road trip across Europe, and the haunting of Stanley by the ghosts of black historical figures along the way. I draw on Avery Gordon’s framing of hauntology as both a racialized experience of invisible power structures of oppressions and a call to action. I firstly consider Stanley and Jessie’s personal histories as haunted sites of melancholia and repressed memories. I further link hauntology to the imbrication of spiritual and physical worlds through an analysis of the erased historical figures—ghosts—that speak to Stanley at various locations along their journey. Over and above the spatiotemporal (re)mapping of blackness in Europe and the challenge to the ontological definition of Europe as ‘being’ a space of whiteness, I relate the hauntological imaginary to a schema of black ancestry.

Published: June 2019

This series of sequential protocols can be used to extract and purify viruses from stream biofilm samples for metagenomic analysis. We compared each critical step of the protocol to alternatives and evaluated their performance using epifluorescence counting of viral-like particles and DNA yields. The pipeline consists of concentration of sample using tangential flow filtration, extraction using tetrasodium pyrophosphate and sonication and purfication using DNase I treatment, filtration, and ultracentrifugation in a sucrose density gradient. Where appropriate, we provide links to similar protocols.
Democracia electoral fraudulenta. La trashumancia electoral como estrategia para ganar elecciones locales en Colombia
Authors: Duque Daza Javier
Published: June 2019

Este artículo analiza la trashumancia electoral, una modalidad de fraude electoral con la cual se movilizan electores de municipios que no corresponden a los padrones electorales locales. Es una de las más reiteradas y determinantes en los resultados, falseando así el proceso electoral. Este artículo es un análisis empírico de nueve elecciones consecutivas del periodo 1990-2015, de las dimensiones, tendencias y de la lógica que impera en esta modalidad. La metodología incluye el análisis de estadísticas de registro, cedulación y anulación de las inscripciones por presunción de trashumancia, la recolección de testimonios orales y escritos, y un análisis sistemático de diarios nacionales y regionales. Se concluye que, pese a la normativa al respecto y a la creación del nuevo tipo penal de fraude electoral, es muy difícil demostrar el delito y condenar a los implicados, y en muy pocas ocasiones se ha procedido a la anulación de las elecciones; finalmente, se propone para el caso colombiano la denominación de democracia electoral fraudulenta.
El Acuerdo de Paz de La Habana. Un cambio institucional ambicioso con una estrategia dudosa
Authors: García Romero Julián Esteban
Published: June 2019

En este artículo se analizan las imbricaciones entre cambio institucional, conflicto y poder político en el sistema presidencialista colombiano, tomando como estudio de caso los puntos de Reforma Rural Integral y Participación Política del Acuerdo de Paz de La Habana durante el Plebiscito por la Paz y el Fast Track. A partir del enfoque del neoinstitucionalismo sociológico, el cual permite analizar las instituciones incrustadas en la cultura y la estructura social, se analiza por qué el Acuerdo de Paz de La Habana es un cambio institucional y cuáles son los cambios proyectados. Algunos hallazgos indican que los potenciales cambios en las reglas políticas y en el acceso y uso de la tierra deben considerarse cuidadosamente dentro de configuraciones institucionales más amplias y sedimentadas históricamente, ya que, aunque el cambio institucional buscaba modificar los arreglos de poder en las instituciones, no se tuvo en cuenta el arraigo de estos en la estructura social y la cultura.
¿Descentralización o gobernanza? El agua, la institucionalización y la política en la cuenca alta del Río Cauca, Colombia
Authors: Cortés Landázury Raúl Hernando , Riascos López Paola Alejandra , Idrobo Salazar Willian Antonio
Published: June 2019

En una época en que se han quebrantado los alcances y la capacidad del Estado para suplir demandas sociales y ambientales —como el suministro del agua—, la gobernanza policéntrica es una alternativa ante la crisis de legitimidad del sector público, en parte agenciada por las restricciones fiscales y una iniciativa privada que amenaza acaparar los recursos naturales, profundizando los problemas redistributivos. La apuesta de esta investigación apunta a rastrear la degradación hídrica a través de sus relaciones con el proceso de institucionalización de reglas formales y su posterior ensamble en redes de gobernanza policéntrica. Es así como esta pudo integrar una serie de métodos que, bajo la orientación abstracta de un modelo presión-Estado-respuesta, abarca elementos de corte cualitativo —como el análisis documental — y cuantitativos —como el análisis econométrico y el estudio de grafos, muy cercano al desarrollo de la topología—. Esta investigación, pudo comprobar que los ligeros niveles de organización social afectaron positivamente los resultados en términos de reducción del efecto degradatorio sobre la calidad del agua.

Objetivos: Identificar los volátiles con olor activo del polvo derivado de las bellotas tostadas de Quercus humboldtii y realizar un análisis cuantitativo descriptivo (QDA) de su aspecto, olor y sabor. Métodos: Los compuestos volátiles con olor a olor de la bellota de roble tostado en polvo se extrajeron con SDE y se analizaron por GC / MS y análisis olfativos (GC / O). Los análisis sensoriales de esta bebida se realizaron por QDA (análisis cuantitativo descriptivo). Resultados:Se identificaron diecinueve compuestos que mostraban notas de olor ácido, mantecoso / caramelo, humo / tostado y afrutado, que son comunes a las del café tostado. Las cetonas, aldehídos, ácidos alifáticos, alcoholes furánicos y pirazinas se identificaron como relevantes para esta bebida sustitutiva del café. Los principales compuestos volátiles fueron furfural, 5-metilfurfural, alcohol de furfurilo y 3-hidroxi-2-butanona, algunos de ellos relacionados con la descomposición del azúcar por calentamiento. Los atributos de olor caracterizados por QDA estaban de acuerdo con los detectados por GC-O (cromatografía de gases acoplada a olfatometría), pero se detectaron algunas notas de mal sabor. Conclusiones:Los resultados del enfoque sensorial molecular confirmaron que este producto se parece al café; sin embargo, los análisis de QDA mostraron la presencia de sabor indeseable. Se necesitan más estudios para mejorar la calidad del sabor de este sustituto del café.

Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is an inherited severe and progressive disease, characterized by endothelial cell density decrease and increasing corneal edema. FECD development may be linked to expanded trinucleotide repeat, CTG, in the third intron of the TCF4 gene. The study focuses on estimating the prevalence of expanded CTG repeat in TCF4 gene in the Russian population, in patients with normal cornea and in patients with FECD (by applying triplet repeat PCR technique and capillary electrophoresis). 51 patients with FECD and 38 patients with normal cornea were examined. The estimation of the number of CTG triplet repeats in TCF4 gene determination is the veracious laboratory marker of FECD.

Celem opracowania jest charakterystyka częstości i uwarunkowań synoptycznych napływu mas powietrza polarnego nad obszar Lubelszczyzny. Ich występowanie w ujęciu regionalnym określono dla godziny 12 UTC na podstawie dolnych map synoptycznych PIHM/IMGW-PIB z okresu 1951–2010. Częstość napływu mas powietrza polarnego (morskiego „świeżego” – PPm, morskiego starego – PPms, morskiego ciepłego – PPmc i kontynentalnego – PPk) w ciągu roku wynosiła 82,5%. Spośród wyróżnionych typów mas powietrza najczęściej notowano powietrze polarne morskie stare (PPms), z częstością przekraczającą 37% (maksimum w lecie, minimum wiosną). W latach 1951–2010 zaznaczyły się istotne zmiany w częstości napływu nad Lubelszczyznę mas PPk (spadek średnio o 11 dni na 10 lat), PPm (spadek 7 dni na 10 lat) i PPmc (wzrost o blisko 11 dni na 10 lat). We wszystkich porach roku masy PPms najczęściej napływały nad Lubelszczyznę z zachodu, PPmc z południowego zachodu i zachodu, PPm z zachodu i północo-zachodu, a PPk ze wschodu i południowego wschodu.

Published: June 2019

Background: Right iliac fossa mass is a common clinical entity encountered in routine surgical practice. The mass arises from different anatomical structures with varied aetiologies that require a high clinical suspicion in its management. The reason being that the mass may range from being benign to most aggressively malignant lesion which encompasses various specialities of surgery like genitourinary, vascular, gynaecological and colorectal surgery.Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted between august 2015 and October 2017 in Narayan Medical College and Hospital, Nellore. 50 cases were studied after detailed history and physical examination, relevant investigations were done, and different surgical procedures done were noted and histopathological examination of resected specimens was done.Results: In this series out of 50 patients studied, 23 patients (46%) were diagnosed to have appendicular mass, 10 cases (20%) ileocaecal TB, 8 cases (16%), appendicular abscess, 6 cases (12%) CA Caecum, 3 cases (6%) psoas abscess. Most commonly encountered in 3rd decade of life with male predominance.Conclusions: RIF mass is a challenging clinical scenario for the surgeons. Keeping in mind the various differential diagnosis with good clinical acumen supported by appropriate investigations, patients with RIF mass can be managed appropriately either by conservative or surgical management.

Published: June 2019

Objetivo: abordar as consequências da anquiloglossia quando não há intervenção precoce, além das implicações legais esperadas. Material e Métodos: este estudo verificou as bases de dados PubMed, Bireme, Google Scholar, Scielo, Lilacs e Medline. Dos 30 artigos encontrados, nove foram descartados por não se identificarem com os objetivos. Resultados: a anquiloglossia é um distúrbio congênito do frênulo lingual que limita a elevação e protrusão da língua devido à sua curta extensão e repercute em todo o sistema estomatognático. Verifica-se na literatura que a língua é totalmente formada no segundo mês de gestação e que o frênulo é formado após apoptose das células de freio linguais e reabsorção do músculo esquelético em desenvolvimento. Portanto, a anquiloglossia é classificada em cinco graus, de acordo com sua mobilidade, e em quatro tipos, de acordo com sua espessura e elasticidade. O Neonatal Tongue Screening Test é aplicado de acordo com uma lei e a não realização deste teste pode levar a consequências anatômicas e funcionais para a mãe e o bebê. O tratamento recomendado é a frenectomia, embora a frenectomia e a Z-Plastia possam ser utilizadas. Conclusão: conclui-se que os profissionais de saúde não devem descuidar do teste, para evitar o agravamento dessa condição.

Objetivou-se avaliar a incidência de pragas em milho adubado com remineralizador de solo oriundo de rocha silicatada em comparação à adubação química com NPK. O experimento foi conduzido em área experimental no Instituto Federal do Norte de Minas Gerais, Campus Januária, Minas Gerais, com o cultivo de milho de ciclo médio, em delineamento em blocos casualizados, com seis tratamentos, quatro repetições, quatro linhas de plantio/parcela. Os tratamentos consistiram no fornecimento de 0, 2, 4, 8, 16 t ha-1 de remineralizador (pó de rocha NaturalPlus® de Ipirá, Bahia) e NPK em linha de plantio. Vinte plantas da área útil de cada parcela foram monitoradas semanalmente para incidência de pragas durante os estágios fenológicos V1 a V12. No estágio reprodutivo R3 avaliou-se o dano causado pela lagarta do cartucho em folhas por meio de escala de dano visual. Durante o levantamento observou-se a ocorrência de Spodoptera frugiperda, Dalbulus maidis e Diabrotica speciosa em menor quantidade nos tratamentos com remineralizador de solo, independente da dose. O dano causado pela lagarta do cartucho na redução da área foliar foi diretamente proporcional ao número de lagartas. O remineralizador de rocha silicatada reduziu a incidência de insetos sugadores e o dano causado por lagarta do cartucho na cultura do milho.

Published: June 2019

Background: Depression and anxiety are the most common reaction in infertile couples. Several studies have been conducted to examine the psychiatric disorders among infertile and fertile couples.
Objective: This meta-analysis was conducted to compare the depression and anxiety in fertile and infertile couples in various studies.
Materials and Methods: The authors searched articles published in multiple databases including World Health Organization, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Science Direct, Medline EMBASE and Persian databases including Scientific Information Database (SID) and IranMedx between 2005 and 2017. The main keywords used for searching the databases were: depression, anxiety, infertility, and fertility. Statistical analyses were performed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis/2.0 software.
Results: The authors found 42 related articles after searching the databases. 11 articles entered the meta-analysis after considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Finally, eight articles were chosen for the comparison of depression and anxiety, two published articles for the comparison of depression, and one published article to compare anxiety in fertile and infertile couples. The results of the heterogeneity test showed a significant heterogeneity among all articles that were analyzed in this meta-analysis in the field of depression and anxiety. The results showed that depression (p = 0.0001; Hedges’g= 1.21; 95% CI 0.63–1.78) and anxiety (p = 0.00001; Hedges’g = 0.63; 95% CI 0.54–0.73) were higher in infertile couples than fertile couples and that the possibility of a publication bias does not exist in this study.
Conclusion: The analysis of articles used in this meta-analysis showed that depression and anxiety scores in infertile couples were higher than fertile couples.

Authors: Mousazadeh Sepideh , Ghaheri Azadeh , Shahhoseini Maryam , Aflatoonian Reza , Afsharian Parvaneh
Published: June 2019

Background: Endometriosis are defined as a progesterone-resistance disease. Two progesterone receptor (PR) isoforms, namely PR-A and PR-B, mediate the special effects of progesterone. One of the most effective polymorphism in the promoter region of PGR is the +331G/A.Objective: The differential expression level of PR isoforms due to +331G/A polymorphism may be able to influence the function of progesterone and reduce the susceptibility of endometriosis.Materials and Methods: This analytic, case-control study was carried out at Royan Institute, Tehran, Iran. Whole-blood samples were collected from 98 infertile women undergoing laparoscopy for endometriosis and 102 healthy fertile women. After DNA extraction, genotype frequencies were determined by polymerase chain reactionrestriction fragment length polymorphism. Then, RNA was extracted from the selectedeutopic tissue samples of endometriosis patients. Analysis of PR-A and PR-B mRNA expressions were performed using Real-time polymerase chain reaction.Results: The frequency distribution of GG, GA genotypes in +331G/A polymorphism was 98.04%, 1.96% in the patients and 97.96%, 2.04% in the control groups, respectively (p = 0.968). Although our data did not show any significant association with +331G/A in the patient and control groups, we were able to demonstrate significantly higher expression level of PR-B and no significant lower expression level of PR-A isoforms in patients by favoring GA to GG genotypes (p = 0.017, p = 0.731, respectively).Conclusion: Our findings show that patients with GA genotypes had a higher expression level of PR-B compared to patients with GG genotypes.
