The Association of Human Cytomegalovirus Infection of Male Genital Tract and Male Infertility
Authors: Abdulamir Ahmed Sahib , Hassen Salah Mahdi 
Published: August 2020

Background: The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a widely distributed virus among humans and is included within the sexually transmitted viruses. Because of its low detection rate in semen, the impact of HCMV on sperm formation and its vertical transmission within the sperm cells have not been studied sufficiently.
Objectives: To investigate the association of viral infections present in the lower genital tract of males and relationship among males infertility.
Methods: ELISA and RT-PCR technique of 100 semen and serum specimens, collected over 8 months from males investigated for infertility, were retrospectively assessed, by screening anti-human Herpes Simplex Virus (HCMV) IgM and IgG in the serum and detection of HSV DNA in seminal fluid.
Results: One hundred seminal fluid and blood samples were taken from men and investigated for infertility over a period of 8 months from July 2016 to February 2017. The seminal fluids and serum of patients mentioned to the laboratory from the fertility clinics of Kamal AL-samarai hospital and outer clinics. The investigations were conducted to find the HCMV detection rate in the seminal fluid of infertile men and to evaluate the impact of the viral infection on the major sperm parameters. Blood and seminal fluid were collected from 100 infertile males. The results were shown that 24/100 (24.0%) were positive for IgM and 86/100 (86.0%) were positive for IgG of HCMV. In case of the control group, results were (1.0%) positive for anti-HCMV IgM antibodies, while (20.0%) positive for anti-HCMV IgG antibodies in a control group, using ELISA test.
The PCR showed that out of 100 samples 24 (24.0%) gave positive results for HCMV patients, while 7 (7.0%) positive for HCMV in the control group.
Conclusions: Using sensitive procedures for assays, seminal samples of asymptomatic infertile patients showed an unexpectedly high incidence of the sexually transmitted pathogens.

A hospital based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted to describe the prevalence of exclusive breast feeding in premature and low birth weight infants. The study included 200 infants in Hillah city Babylon Province, whose ages were less than six months. Catchments of these infants was in the neonatal /special care baby units and the general wards in both Hillah General Teaching Hospital and Babil Maternity Teaching Hospital in Babylon Governorate during the period from the first of January 2018 till the end of March 2018.
The infants’ mothers came from mixed urban and rural backgrounds. Socio –demographic variables related to infants and their mothers’ obstetric data were recorded. Neonatal data was extracted from the medical records of the labor and neonatal care wards. The study included mothers of all ages, one in six of whom (16%) were teenagers marrying at a young age.52% of the older respondents reported being married during their teenage years. Since all the babies included in the study were either preterm or low birth weight, the mean birth weight was (1894.00±464.15) gm (LBW) and the mean gestational age was (34.42±2.84) weeks (preterm).The study outlined three main groups of reasons in order of frequency for quitting exclusive breast feeding, the first group involved the following reasons (milk was of poor quality, breast milk causes jaundice or diarrhea or a previous child didn't thrive on breast feeding) (53.7%), the second group covered reasons related to (advice from doctor/medical staff, or non-medically qualified person) (22%)and the third group was because of (LBW and prematurity per se)(14.6%).

Published: August 2020

A cross-sectional study was conducted in Al-Hilla City, Babylon Province, Iraq, of 300 women who gave birth via Cesarean section at the two main maternity surgical wards in the city from a period from 1st of December 2017 to 15th of March, 2018.
The mothers came from mixed urban and rural backgrounds. Socio-demographic and obstetric data were recorded. Neonatal data were extracted from the medical records of the labor and neonatal care wards. The study included mothers of all ages, one fifth (23%) of whom were teenagers and minors marrying at a very young age (31%). Unfortunately (64%) had poor or negative attitudes to breastfeeding. Lack of motivation and self-confidence are also major reasons for very early cessation of breastfeeding. This study cited that the Cesarean section per se is a major cause of quitting natural feeding. The patients were influenced by advice from not only close relatives but also doctors and health personnel after the Caesarean section.

Authors: Camillo Luciano Mendes , Braga de Lima Marcos Paulo , Peixoto Marco Aurélio Pinhel , Correa Marcello Marcelino , Gimenez Salvador Pinillos 
Published: August 2020

The zero temperature coefficient (ZTC) is investigated by three-dimensional numerical simulations in the Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) with the ellipsoidal (EM) and conventional rectangular gate geometries (CM), considering the same channel widths (W), gate areas (Ag) and bias condition (BC). In this work an improved simple model which predicts the ZTC point taking into account only the mobility degradation factor (c) and threshold voltage (Vth) parameters as function of temperature is proposed in the linear and saturation operation regions. The analysis takes into account the temperature variations of the threshold voltage and the mobility degradation factor. Although simple, the model predictions present a good agreement with the numerical simulations results.

Published: August 2020

This work presents a study on the effects of single interface traps throughout the Junctionless Nanowire Transistor (JNT). The results are obtained by analyzing the Random Telegraph Signal noise of the device, which consists of an exception of the generation-recombination noise. The results obtained are mostly from numerical simulation, validated through experimental data. As in physical devices, it is impossible to obtain a single trap in specific locations, we have used a distribution of traps with similar characteristics in a way that they behave like a single trap. The results show the behave considering a set of traps distributions, using an exponential model. The traps are distributed from the conduction band to the valence band.

Published: August 2020

Este é um recorte de uma pesquisa de doutorado realizada junto a estudantes de uma escola pública onde atuo como professora de Matemática. Trata-se de um estudo orientado pela perspectiva da Pesquisa Narrativa (CLANDININ & CONNELLY, 2011) e, por assim o ser, é uma investigação que elegeu aexperiência para estudo, em particular, as experiências de três jovens com a Matemática no decurso da formação escolar de cada um, bem como as minhas, enquanto professora e pesquisadora que experiencia o próprio ato de pesquisar. O foco é conhecer e compreender, narrativamente, as trajetórias dessas experiências e, assim, aprofundar os modos de, a elas, atribuir sentido. Para a construção dos textos, optamos por solicitar a escrita de narrativas autobiográficas e realizar entrevistas narrativas individuais. Portanto, compartilhamos belas e instigantes histórias que confirmam o grande potencial formativo das narrativas no contexto educacional. No presente artigo, focaremos em um dos participantes, cujas narrativas revelaram marcas sobre o processo de ensino e aprendizagem da Matemática, sinalizaram para o redirecionamento de práticas pedagógicas, problematizaram estratégias de ensino da Matemática, provocaram reflexões e questionamentos sobre os sentidos e significados da Matemática ensinada nas escolas básicas e extrapolaram os limites da sala de aula e da escola, sinalizando que para além da dimensão cognitiva o processo educativo não se efetiva alheio às necessidades afetivas e formativas dos jovens. Em postura de compreensão narrativa das narrativas, junto aos jovens, este texto foi composto permeado pelas experiências narradas e pelas que tive ao longo do processo de pesquisar, aprofundar e redigir, ora como professora de Matemática, ora como pesquisadora, sempre em posição de inacabamento, em busca de melhores tons.

The increase in mortality rates that occur on the highway is very high and quite a concern and vigilance for the community. This usually happens one of them because the Indonesian people do not know how to help victims who are good and right when finding victims. As a result most of actions is wrong, so it can add to injury and death. This study aims to determine the effect of basic life support (BLS) training on the motivation and demeanour of class XI students in rescuing traffic accidents in SMA Negeri 2 Tenggarong. This study uses a quasy experimental method of pre and post design with a control group. Proportional stratified random sampling technique with a sample of 78 students and data collection using a questionnaire sheet. Data that was analyzed by paired t test in each group showed a p-value of 0,000 <0.05, meaning that there was a statistically change in motivation and attitude between before and after treatment in the form of BLS training for class XI students at SMAN 2 Tenggarong. The result is not much different from the independent t test which showed p-value 0,000 <0.05, which means there is a statistically different demeanour between the difference before and after treatment in the form of BLS training in the control and intervention groups. The results showed that there was a statistically significant change in motivation and demeanour between before and after the BLS training was given to the motivation and demeanour of class XI students at SMAN 2 Tenggarong with a p-value of 0,000 <0.05.

Liver cirrhosis is the last stage of chronic liver disease that is in the path of the disease can cause damage of liver function and/or portal hypertension. The prognosis of liver cirrhosis can be assessed by manifestations of liver function disorders with Child Pugh score that include the presence or absence of ascites, encephalopathy, bilirubin serum, albumin serum, and prothrombin time or INR, while portal hypertension also occurs in patient of cirrhosis can lead the formation of esophageal varices. APRI score has platelet count and AST serum as its variable is suspected to be related to the Child Pugh score in assessing prognosis of cirrhosis patients. This study purposed to find the relation between APRI score (Aspartate Aminotransferase-to-Platelet Ratio Index) and Child Pugh score. Purpose of this research is to find the relation between APRI score (Aspartate Aminotransferase-to-Platelet Ratio Index) and Child Pugh score and degree of esophageal varices in patients with cirrhosis. Method used is a retrospective analytic study with cross sectional approach. The data source is secondary source. The sample in this study were patients with liver cirrhosis who were diagnosed by a doctor and had complied the inclusion criteria. The data obtained was analyzed using ANOVA.
The result of this study is include 48 cirrhosis patients, male 81,3%, with a mean age 49,98 years. The most common cause of cirrhosis is hepatitis B obtained from reactive HBsAg examination in 33 patients (68,8%). The APRI score was found to have a weak correlation (r = 0.044) and not significant (p = 0.868) with the Child Pugh score. The APRI score do not able to assess the prognosis in advanced cirrhotic patients.

Published: August 2020

Distributed leadership offers a new-thinking in transforming the school's leadership. Teachers' collective efficacy and professional learning community have been identified to have a strong influence on improving the teaching quality of teachers. This article examines the effects of distributed leadership of secondary school administrators on teacher collective efficacy and professional learning community. The literature suggests that distributed leadership perspective is a good alternative strategy to improve the quality of educational institutions, but empirical evidence showing the effects of distributed leadership on teachers’ collective efficacy and professional learning community that can improve the quality of teacher’s teaching is limited. Data were collected from 592 teachers working in secondary schools in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Distributed leadership of secondary school administrators were determined with Distributed Leadership Inventory developed by Hulpia (2009) while teachers’ collective efficacy was determined using the Collective Efficacy Scales developed by Goddard and Hoy (2003) and professional learning community was determined with the School Professional Staff as Learning Community Questionnaire developed by Hord (1996). Data analysis was done based on Structural Equation Modeling using AMOS software. Regression weight, variance and squared multiple correlations tests were used in data analysis. In conclusion, a strong positive relationship was revealed between distributed leadership of secondary school administrators on teachers’ collective efficacy and professional learning community. Distributed leadership of secondary school administrators was also a significant predictor of teachers’ collective efficacy and professional learning community.
