Published: December 2023

Background: The effect of laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) before in vitro fertilization/ intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) cycles on pregnancy outcomes is an unclear and challenging subject.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of LOD before IVF/ICSI cycles on controlled ovarian stimulation and pregnancy outcomes in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women with a history of more than 2 IVF failures.
Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, women with PCOS diagnosis who referred to Arash Women’s hospital, Tehran, Iran for IVF/ICSI cycle from August 2015-January 2018 were evaluated. Eligible participants were allocated into 2 groups randomly (n = 17/each group). The participants in the LOD group (intervention) were treated with laparoscopic couture, and after one month, they underwent IVF/ICSI cycles using the gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol. The control group had no intervention. The oocyte and embryo qualities, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome rate, the rates of chemical and clinical pregnancy and early miscarriage, live birth, and pregnancy complications, were compared between groups.
Results: Finally, 34 participants were evaluated. The controlled ovarian stimulation outcomes were similar between groups. The ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome rate in the LOD group was significantly lower than in the control group (p = 0.04). One case of spontaneous pregnancy was reported in the LOD group. No significant difference was observed between groups in clinical pregnancy, miscarriage, and live birth rates. The rates of pregnancy complications (gestational diabetes mellitus, preeclampsia, and preterm birth) were similar between groups.
Conclusion: Performing LOD before IVF/ICSI cycles did not improve the pregnancy outcomes in PCOS women, a clinical trial with a larger sample size is needed to prove these results.

Authors: Shiri Reza Hashemi , Dehghan Tafti Mohammad Ali , Alavirad Abbas , Ghafoori Mohammad Hossein 
Published: December 2023

Background: The evidence of Iran's economy shows that many economic variables, including household health expenditures, can be affected by exchange rate shocks. According to previous studies, the increase in the exchange rate from two channels of the general increase in prices, as well as the increase in the price of medicines and imported medical supplies, increases health expenditures. This study investigated the asymmetric effects of the unofficial exchange rate on the health expenditures of urban households in Iran.
Methods: The present applied study investigated the short-run and long-run effects of positive and negative shocks of the unofficial exchange rate, gross domestic product (GDP), and CO2 emissions on the health expenditures of urban households during 1971-2019 using time series data. The data were collected from the database of the Statistics Center and the Central Bank. To investigate the reliability of data, generalized Phillips-Prone and Dickey-Fuller tests and to check the stability of the coefficients, cumulative sum and cumulative sum squares were used. Also, to check the short-run dynamics and adjustment towards the long-run, the error correction model was estimated. The regression model was estimated using the Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag approach by Eviews (12.0) software. After estimation, diagnostic tests including Wald test, normality, heterogeneity of variance and autocorrelation were performed.
Results: The results showed that the increase in exchange rate has a positive and significant effect on household health expenditures, its reduction has no significant effect Therefore, the effect of exchange rate shocks was asymmetric. Accordingly, 1% increase in the unofficial exchange rate led to a 0.237 % increase in household health expenditures in the short-run and 0.55 % increase in the long-run. In addition, 1% increase in GDP led to 0.49 % increase in household health expenditures in the short-run and 1.57% increase in the long-run. Finally, 1 % increase in CO2 emissions led to a 1.49 % increase in household health expenditures in the long-run.
Conclusion: Based on the results, after the increasing exchange rate shocks and possible future declines, due to the persistence of the shocks effects for up to three years, it is suggested not to stop supportive policies for providing health expenditures, especially for low-income groups.
Chenopodium murale L.: A Weed of Medicinal Importance - A Brief Review
Authors: Rehman Tayyeba , Rao Huma 
Published: December 2023

Weeds are considered a great threat to crops. So weed eradication is an important task to increase crop yield. Chemical weed control in various crops decreases their nutritive potential. To overcome this problem to some degree, it is suggested to use these weeds instead of destroying them. Keeping this in view, such losses can be compensated by exploring their medicinal utility and identifying their future medicinal prospects. Chenopodium murale L. (Amaranthaceae) is an annual weed growing throughout the world. This review aims to summarize the reported pharmacology and phytochemistry of C. murale to explore its medicinal utility and identifying their future medicinal prospects. The review was done by literature collection from textbooks and online databases without a time limit. The weed name was confirmed by ‘The Plant List’. C. murale extracts, their isolated active constituents, and nanoparticles have been reported for various pharmacological actions like hepatoprotective, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, antidiarrheal, anticancer, antimicrobial, nematicidal, antioxidant, and cytotoxic. The pharmacological effects of C. murale may be due to the presence of secondary active metabolites such as phenolic acids, flavonols, terpenes and terpenoids, flavonoids and a steroidal glycoside. Reported phytochemistry and pharmacology suggest that C. murale could be an important medicinal agent for leishmaniasis, hypertension, infections and liver diseases. However, further studies are warranted.

Authors: Madyan Muhammad , Widuri Saraswati Kuntum 
Published: December 2023

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance on capital structure, using good corporate governance (GCG) as a moderating variable.
Design/Methods/Approach: The sample comprises companies listed on the IDX outside the financial sector that issued financial and sustainability reports between 2017 and 2021. The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) index measures ESG performance, the capital structure is measured by leverage, and the moderating variable of good corporate governance is measured by independent commissioner proportion. The data are analyzed using the OLS regression technique.
Findings: According to the estimation results, ESG performance positively affects the capital structure of non-financial enterprises. Furthermore, good corporate governance does not moderate the relationship between environmental, social, governance, and capital structure.
Originality/Value: By focusing on ESG performance and capital structure as evaluated in emerging countries, this study adds to existing research on environmental and social performance and its impact on capital structure. Furthermore, GCG is included as a moderating variable in this study.
Practical/Policy implication: Based on the findings, it is suggested that firm executives take steps to expand their ESG practices. This ensures sustainability and increases investor and creditor confidence, resulting in more efficient funding sources for the company.

Published: December 2023

Penelitian ini menganalisis status mutu air Bendungan Batujai, Pandaduri, Pengga, Tibu Kuning, dan Telaga Lebur yang berlokasi di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB). Kualitas air waduk dihitung dengan menggunakan Peraturan Pemerintah Lingkungan Hidup No 115 Tahun 2003 tentang Pedoman Penentuan Status Mutu Air. Sampling air dianalisis dari titik genangan dan sungai yang masuk ke bendungan tersebut. Hasil penelitian menyatakan bahwa kualitas air bendungan termasuk ke dalam kategori tercemar ringan sampai cemar berat dimana tingkat pencemaran terendah ada di Bendungan Telaga Lebur dan tertinggi di Bendungan Pengga. Pencemaran terjadi karena terdapat delapan parameter yang telah melebihi baku mutu yaitu TSS, DO, Ammonia, Nitrat, Nitrit, Besi, Mangan, dan Total Fosfat. Terdapat parameter yang memenuhi baku mutu karena ada aktivitas lain di sekitar bendungan yang dapat dilihat dari penggunaan lahan yang merupakan sumber pencemar. Dilihat dari setiap sumber pencemarnya, dapat disimpulkan bahwa jumlah TSS, BOD, COD, TN, dan TP di setiap bendungan paling besar bersumber dari permukiman, sehingga perlu adanya upaya pengendalian kualitas air berupa pengelolaan di sektor pertanian, persampahan, dan limbah domestik. Kata kunci: Bendungan, Nusa Tenggara Barat, Pencemaran, Status Mutu Air.
