It has recently been suggested that the measure of success of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) should be the birth of a singleton baby, whereas a twin pregnancy should be considered as a complication. Although the maternal and neonatal complications in twin pregnancies are significantly higher than those in singleton pregnancies, the classification of a twin pregnancy as a complication ...

An investigation of available and applicable Agent Technologies has been carried out.Goal of the investigation was to determine the usage of the available technologies. Thetechnologies have been investigated and are described per ‘topic’. The following top-ics have been used: ‘Agent platforms’, ‘Agent Mobility’, ‘Standardisation initiatives’,‘Legacy System Integration’, ‘Knowled...

The National Legislative Assembly of Thailand has enacted on February 19, 2015 the Protection for Children Born through Assisted Reproductive Technologies Act (ART Act). Its primary objective aims at protecting children born through assisted reproductive technologies and providing the legal procedures that the intended parents must follow. The focus of this article is to discuss the ongoing iss...

Participation on Online Social Networks (OSNs) inherently requires information sharing and thus exposes individuals to privacy risks. Risk mitigation then has been encouraged through adoption of usable privacy controls. However, stronger privacy enhancing technologies (PETs) decrease both risk and perceptions of risk. Thus, individuals feel safer and may in fact respond by accepting more risk. ...

We propose a model, based on the work of Brock and Durlauf, which looks at how agents make choices between competing technologies, as a framework for exploring aspects of the economics of the adoption of privacy-enhancing technologies. In order to formulate a model of decision-making among choices of technologies by these agents, we consider the following: context, the setting in which and the ...

Surveillance is a triennial worldwide compendium of national rules and regulations for assisted reproductive technology. It was last published in 2007.

The study was conducted in Adamawa State, Nigeria. The major thrust of this study is to assess the adoption rate of technology in Fadama III project, Adamawa State, Nigeria. Fadama III is being implemented in 20 Local Government Areas (LGA) of Adamawa State. In its four years of operation, Fadama III project has realized significant impact on household access to new and proven technologies. The...
