Infertility affects 15% of all couples. Although male infertility factors with reduced semen quality are contributing to about half of all involuntary childlessness, the value of standard semen parameters in prediction of fertility in vivo and choice of proper method for assisted reproduction is limited. In the search for better markers of male fertility, during the last 10 years, assessment of...

background and objective: diabetes mellitus is one of the main problems in health systems in the world. diabetic foot infections (dfi) is one of the main complications and the most cause  of non-traumatic lower limb amputation .this study aimed to determine the prevalence of bacteria involved in dfi and their antibiotic resistance in patients with dfi diagnosis. patients and methods: this desc...

and BuChE inhibition. Significant increments were observed in sperm DFI with significant decreases in some semen parameters. DFI was negatively correlated with BuChE, sperm concentration, morphology and vitality in these workers. The levels of Tt, PRL, FT4 and TSH appeared to be normal; however, there was a tendency for increased LH and FSH levels in exposed workers. Conclusions: Our results co...

Based on panel data from the National rural fixed point survey 2011 to 2018 and Peking University digital financial inclusion (DFI) index data, this article uses dynamic effect model analyze of access inclusive financing platforms agricultural total factor productivity (TFP) its contributing factors at household level. The results show that DFI have a significant hysteresis positive impact TFP ...

We present the partial demonstration of displacementand laser-noise free interferometer (DFI) and the next experimental plan to examine the complete configuration. A part of the full implementation of DFI has been demonstrated to confirm the cancellation of beamsplitter displacements. The displacements were suppressed by about two orders of magnitude. The aim of the next experiment is to operat...

Purpose This paper aims to explore the role of digital financial inclusion (DFI) in stabilizing Islamic banking sector amidst current COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach study has used Panel-Corrected Standard Errors (PCSE), Two-Stage Panel Least Squares-Instrumental Variables (2SLS-IV) and Two-Step System Generalized Method Moments (2SGMM) dynamic panel estimation method investigate...

Using detailed micro data from the Indonesian manufacturing sector, we examine the effect on productivity of direct foreign investment. The results suggest that direct foreign investment benefits locally owned establishments. The effect differs between groups of industries. Spillovers from DFI are found in sectors with a high degree of competition. The result suggests that the degree of competi...

Five trials in five locations in the United States involving 512 steers were conducted to evaluate the effect of monensin [200 mg/d in .9 kg of supplement (Ru mensin )] and estradiol-controlled release implants ( Compudose ) administered alone and in combination on average daily gain (ADG) in steers on pasture. The effect of energy supplementation on rate of gain was also evaluated in these sam...

The importance of birth-to-weaning average daily gain as a determinant of weight at a final age and yield of marketable pork was investigated. Treatments were imposed to create variation in birth-to-weaning ADG independent of birth weight. Newborn pigs were cross-fostered to create litters of four through 14 pigs/litter. Creep feed was offered to pigs from 5 d of age or during last 2 d before w...

Objective: We reviewed our experience in the surgical management of 80 patients with colorectal pulmonary metastases and investigated factors affecting survival. Material and methods: From January 1980 to December 2000, 80 patients, 43 women and 37 men with median age 63 years (range 38–79 years) underwent 98 open surgical procedure (96 muscle-sparing thoracotomy, one clamshell and one median s...
