Authors: Aiad Abdullah Abdulrazak
Published: March 2021

Introduction: About 50% of infertility is attributed to male factor. Semen analysis is the cornerstone ofthe diagnosis, and treatment of male infertility. The quality of semen varies from country to country. Thepresent study was undertaken to evaluate semen abnormality of infertile Iraqi men as compared to othercountries and to determine whether these parameters are correlated to each other.Patients and Method: The seminal fluid profile was classified according to the WHO manual (2010).Briefly, asthenozoospermia (i.e. progressive motility of spermatozoa below 32%), oligozoospermia(i.e. spermatozoa concentration below 15x106 per ml), teratozoospermia (i.e. morphologically normalspermatozoa below 4%), asthenoteratozoospermia, oligoasthenozoospermia, oligoasthenoteratozoospermia,oligoteratozoospermia, and azoospermia (absence of spermatozoa in the ejaculate)Results: The most striking abnormality is the high percentage of patients withabnormally lowmorphology score (72.09%). The majority of cases have isolated abnormality (teratozoospermia;48.84%). Asthenoteratozoospermia (ATZ) was found in 10.47% and oligoasthenozoospermia (OAZ) andoligoteratozoospermia (OTZ) in 8.14% of cases. The least common pattern was necroteratozoospermia(NTZ) and oligonecroteratozoospermia (ONTZ) 1% each. Azoospermia was encountered in 3.49% of cases.Conclusion: Abnormalsperm morphology is the best indicator of infertility and teratozoosperma is the mostcommon finding in abnormal spermiogram.

Authors: Muhaji Imam
Published: March 2021

Indonesian citizens must have the ability to access appropriate health care and facilities. Rural regions, on the other hand, suffer from a lack of resources and infrastructure owing to a variety of reasons. This village's health situation is clearly not in compliance with the existing health regulations. As a result, scholars are involved in examining federal efforts linked to health legislation to enhance health care and infrastructure in remote communities. This paper employs the secondary data approach as well as literature analysis. According to the findings, certain regions do not have enough health care and infrastructure. The government has made efforts to develop these health services and facilities so far; nevertheless, these efforts are insufficient, and further effort is needed so that all rural communities will benefit from the outcomes.

At present, depression is the main reason for suicidal death. Depression also causes different kinds of diseases. Nowadays, people are deeply involved in social media and like to share their feelings on social media. So, it becomes easy to analyze depression through social media. In this paper, a combination of two CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) and LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) models has been proposed to make a hybrid CNN-LSTM model, CNN has performed for the image to create a matrix, and LSTM has given the result from the given matrix. In this paper, datasets are prepared based on depression and non-depression-related status. The proposed method has been applied to that dataset. The best result has been obtained using a hybrid neural network with the word embedding technique using the Bengali Facebook status dataset. We have used the SVM (Support Vector Machine) model to predict a small dataset of Bengali Facebook status and count vectorizer to count the word in the document. Finally, this paper has built up a model that makes strength and support for deep learning architecture.
L’imitation des tissus précieux sur quelques sculptures valdôtaines, entre XVe et XVIe siècle
Authors: Vallet Alessandra
Published: March 2021

En Vallée d’Aoste, la recherche sur le brocart appliqué, notamment dans le cadre de la sculpture polychrome de la fin du Moyen Âge, n’en est encore qu’à ses premiers pas. Sur les exemples présentés, qui datent tous entre la deuxième moitié du XVe et le début du XVIe siècle, l’on observe que le rendu matériel des tissus a fait l’objet d’une attention spécifique et que, sur certains d’entre eux, la technique du brocart appliqué fait son apparition. Il s’agit d’une technique importée, qui semble originaire des régions limitrophes de la Savoie ou qui s’est diffusée le long des axes commerciaux reliant la partie plus à l’ouest de la Vallée d’Aoste aux zones de culture germanophone.

Polychromie et décors moulés et appliqués
Authors: Suduirot Sophie Guillot de
Published: March 2021

Ces réflexions sur la terminologie s’inscrivent dans nos travaux sur la sculpture de l’Allemagne, des anciens Pays-Bas et du nord de la France aux XVe et XVIe siècles.Le terme polychromie désigne désormais le revêtement recouvrant le matériau de la sculpture, qui est constitué de l’ensemble des couches, y compris les feuilles métalliques (or, argent, or parti, étain…) et les décors rapportés. À la place de l’expression allemande Pressbrokat ou Pressbrokat-Applikationen (« brocarts appliqués »), créée au XXe siècle en référence à des étoffes improprement appelées brocarts, nous proposons l’expression décors moulés et appliqués, plus juste et explicite. Ces décors en relief évoquent souvent des velours de soie italiens avec fils et bouclettes d’or.

Published: March 2021

La présence de décors de « brocart appliqué » dans la polychromie d’un corpus de sculptures de l’ancien duché de Savoie daté des années 1480-1530 a motivé la mise en oeuvre d’un protocole analytique pour permettre leur caractérisation systématique. Ce protocole combine des observations macroscopiques et microscopiques de surface ; des analyses non invasives à l’aide d’instruments portables et des analyses non destructives sur micro-prélèvements, notamment avec des techniques utilisant le rayonnement synchrotron. Ce protocole a permis l’identification des motifs, des techniques de fabrication et des matériaux employés pour élaborer les « brocarts appliqués » de ce corpus, et a révélé de premières singularités locales. Il a, de plus, permis d’identifier les produits de dégradation des feuilles d’étain métallique, matériau central à la conservation de ces motifs en trois dimensions.

Restauratrice de peintures murales et polychromies sur support bois et toile, agréée par les Ministères des biens culturels italien et français, elle travaille depuis 1998 sur les territoires italien et français. Elle a réalisé des interventions sur des œuvres remarquables pour diverses administrations publiques, des musées, des fondations et des paroisses. Attentive à l’expérimentation critique et à la formation continue, elle a étudié de nouvelles méthodes de nettoyage des peintures selon une approche scientifique rigoureuse, et les a mises en pratique dans la chapelle Saint-Georges.The murals in the private chapel commissioned by Georges de Challant at the Saint-Ours priory in Aosta (c. 1468-1470) were the subject of a meticulous cleaning between 2009 and 2012. After having described and put back in their historical context the various panels that adorn the walls, this article discusses the cleaning protocol implemented during these three years. From a meticulous study of sources, surfaces and stratigraphy, patterns of brocade applied to the costumes of the figures have been identified. The meticulous cleaning made it possible to return to the state of the pictorial surfaces before the restorations of the 19th Century.

Perceptions of student accoucheurs regarding gender inequality in midwifery training at Free State maternal healthcare institutions
Authors: Madlala Siphiwe T. , Ngxongo Thembelihle S. , Sibiya Maureen N.
Published: March 2021

Background: Worldwide, gender inequality has been a dominating factor in the training of student accoucheurs in most maternal healthcare institutions. This poses challenges for the maternal healthcare institutions where student accoucheurs are placed for clinical practice as most women become reluctant or refuse to accept their services. Gender inequality has a negative impact on the training of student accoucheurs as most of them become demotivated which could lead to a high attrition rate.Objectives: This study explored and described the perceptions of student accoucheurs regarding gender inequality in midwifery training at the Free State maternal healthcare institutions.Method: An explorative and descriptive qualitative research design was undertaken. There were 40 student accoucheurs that formed 10 focus group discussions. Each focus group discussion had four participants. Tesch’s eight-steps of data analysis was used to analyse data.Results: Three major themes emerged during data analysis: meeting the training requirements in midwifery, women’s autonomy in a choice of healthcare provider versus student accoucheurs’ autonomy to be trained in midwifery and staff establishment to render maternal healthcare.Conclusion: The participants perceived prejudice, rejection and resistance by women in maternity units as a contributing factor to gender inequality, which has a negative impact on their training in midwifery. The study recommends that health directorates, nurse managers and training institutions should consider revising maternal healthcare policies regarding the recruitment and placement of willing accoucheurs in maternity units in order to address gender inequality.

Published: March 2021

Most patients with shoulder pain will initially visit their community health centre, private general practitioner or family physician, with various levels of experience in the assessment and management of shoulder conditions. Shoulder conditions will range from early, simple ailments that can be treated in the primary care setting, to post-traumatic injuries and complex pathologies requiring the expertise of an orthopaedic surgeon or a fellowship-trained shoulder surgeon. Correct assessment of the patient’s shoulder condition at the index consultation is a prerequisite for appropriate management. This article sets out straightforward guidelines to help general practitioners confidently identify the patient’s source of shoulder pain and initiate an appropriate management plan at primary care level. Criteria for urgent and elective referral for specialist care are also outlined.

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in type 2 diabetic patients. Sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT-2) inhibitors are a new antidiabetic treatment class that increases the renal excretion of glucose. The Food and Drug Administration issued a warning in May 2015 notifying that patients using this class of anti-diabetic drugs may develop DKA. Risk factors for DKA development among patients who take SGLT-2 inhibitors include carbohydrate intake/starvation or acute illness. In the current report, we aimed to present a case of euglycemic DKA using dapagliflozin treatment.

Panhypopituitarism occurs as a result of the insufficiency of all hormones produced in the anterior pituitary gland. Pituitary Stalk Interruption Syndrome (PSIS) is a rare congenital syndrome leading to hypopituitarism. The anterior pituitary hormones should be evaluated in patients with the signs and symptoms of hormone insufficiency and magnetic resonance imaging of the pituitary should be performed for the etiology. Although PSIS is a rare cause of hypopituitarism, it must be treated with the replacement of the insufficient hormones. In this case report, we evaluated a PSIS case presented with panhypopituitarism

ABSTRACT: Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is the third most common cause of acute pancreatitis (AP). It is caused by disorders in lipoprotein metabolism due to primary or secondary causes. Metabolic syndrome is also an important factor contributing to the development of HTG. The primary treatment goal in severe HTG is to restore triglyceride levels within normal ranges which can be achieved with lipid lowering drugs mainly fenofibrates, fluid replacement, intravenous insulin infusion and/ or plasmapheresis treatments. Strict diet restricted from fat and simple sugars, exercise and weight control also contribute to HTG control in long term follow up. In this report, a case of severe AP triggered by HTG with other metabolic syndrome components like type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity is presented.
How can Europe tackle the three employment challenges: the digital, the climate and the pandemic transition?
Authors: Abrahamsson Kenneth , Larsson Allan
Published: March 2021

Abstract

Never before in modern times has Working Europe been faced with such a fundamental and far-reaching transition pressure. We are in the beginning of two powerful transition processes, the innovation-driven digital transformation, and the policy-driven climate transition. On the top of these processes we are now facing a pandemic-driven restructuring of important sectors of our economies. Are our labour market regimes and policies fit for these challenges? Are we finally witnessing “the end of work” and an extended period of being Left Behind? Or can we build up capacities to deal with these three fundamental challenges? In this paper the authors discuss these issues based on the most recent labour market research and statistics and present some preliminary conclusions on the new forms of transition mechanism, and the scaling-up of European and national labour market transition policies as part of the Next Europe recovery strategy. It is not easy to predict the content, quality and volume of a skill development needs caused by the triple challenge of climate change, digitalisation, and Covid-19. We suggest, however, that the EU Commission should develop a transition capacity indicator corresponding to at least one fifth of the labour force and to recommend new springboards and bridges to work for the next years to come. We are convinced that this is the most productive and profitable investment Europe can do.

Orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus) and children (Homo sapiens) use stick tools in a puzzle box task involving semantic prospection
Authors: Keller Ashlynn M. , DeLong Caroline M.
Published: March 2021

This study compared three captive orangutans and a group of 5-10 year-old children in their ability to use stick tools to solve a series of mazes in a puzzle box, including three puzzles that required semantic prospection. The puzzle box had seven levels and moveable plastic inserts that created three easy, three intermediate, and three difficult maze configurations. Three wood and three plastic stick tools were presented with each maze. All 26 children immediately solved the easy and intermediate mazes. Seventy-nine percent of the children solved the difficult mazes on their first attempt, and nearly all the children solved the difficult mazes on the second attempt, which suggested a majority of children engaged in effective planning. Girls took significantly longer to solve the intermediate mazes while boys took significantly longer to solve the difficult mazes. Two of three orangutans also successfully avoided the dead ends in the difficult mazes and consistently used stick tools to move peanuts to the goal slots, and took longer to solve the intermediate or difficult mazes. Both the children and orangutans preferred to use plastic tools, although both tool types were functional. These results suggest many similarities between orangutans and children’s abilities to use tools in a puzzle box task that requires planning to avoid dead ends.

Published: March 2021

When following a free-living ring-tailed coati Nasua nasua group behind a tourist complex on Ilha do Campeche (an island in the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil), we observed them rubbing laundry and cleaning substances onto their bodies. In order to describe this anointing behavior, spontaneous and induced anointing sessions were studied over two visits to the island. The induced events were prompted by offering bar soap in five experimental sessions. In all experimental sessions, one to three animals of both sexes performed soap-anointing behavior. It was most commonly self-directed (self-anointing), but also sometimes applied onto others (allo-anointing), or sometimes performed collectively and in close proximity to other group members. The genital area was the most often rubbed location, followed by the tail. We suggest that ring-tailed coatis may be deterring ectoparasites when applying soap to their integument. Ring-tailed coatis are known for anointing their fur with resin or arthropods, but this is the first description of the use of soap. Close contact with humans and easy access to soap inadvertently left outside may have been responsible for this arbitrary innovation. Because this behavior has persisted for more than 10 years and is practiced by different age groups, we suggest that this behavior is being socially transmitted across generations within the group from older to younger individuals.
