This study in Egypt, measured the son preference index, its determinants, and impact on reproductive behaviour and intention of 400 mothers attending for delivery. Overall son preference index was 1.4. The causes of sex preference were mainly psychological and social. Mothers with only girls were 496 times more likely to prefer a son as compared to those with boys only. Mothers with illiterate ...

the activity of the magnocellular neurons (mcns) of supraoptic nucleus (son) is regulated by a variety of excitatory and inhibitory inputs. opioids are one of the important compounds that affect these inputs at son synapses. in this study, whole-cell patch clamp recording of son neurons was used to investigate the effect of acute and repeated morphine administration on spontaneous inhibitory an...

The aim of this paper is to give a complete classification of irreducible finite-dimensional representations of the nonstandard q-deformation U ′ q(son) (which does not coincide with the Drinfel’d-Jimbo quantum algebra Uq(son)) of the universal enveloping algebra U(son(C)) of the Lie algebra son(C) when q is not a root of unity. These representations are exhausted by irreducible representations...

L'ectropion est une éversion du bord libre des paupières. L'ectropion peut être congénital ou acquis ; le plus souvent il est d'origine sénile ou paralytique ou post traumatique. Nous présentons le cas d'une patiente suivie pour sclérodermie depuis son enfance et nous a été envoyée pour son ectropion bilatéral. L'examen clinique a retrouvé un aspect de peau cartonnée au niveau de son visage et ...

The tensor product of vector and arbitrary representations of the nonstandard q-deformation U ′ q(son) of the universal enveloping algebra U(son) of Lie algebra son is defined. The Clebsch– Gordan coefficients of tensor product of vector and arbitrary classical or nonclassical type representations of q-algebra U ′ q(son) are found in an explicit form. The Wigner–Eckart theorem for vector operat...

In Self-Organizing Networks (SONs), a potentially large number of SON functions are available that autonomously perfom network management tasks. Different functions are e.g. available for the optimization of the network, and they can have conflicting goals. To ensure an effective optimization of the overall network, coordination of SON functions is necessary. For this purpose, we developed a po...

Background & aim: The rate of unintended pregnancy has decreased from 24% to 16% in the last four to five years in Pakistan. However, this rate stills varies among the women living in the rural and urban areas of Pakistan. The females residing in the rural areas are less likely to have many contraceptive choices and receive no/low-quality family planning services; as a result, they end up with ...
