This study was conducted to determine the relationship between the estrous detector's reading value (Draminski®, Dramiński S.A, Poland) and serum progesterone levels on Etawa crossbred does. Eighteen healthynon-prehnant Etawa crossbreds does weighing 20-25 kg, in their first parity were used in this study. The does were divided equally into two groups. In the two groups, the does were synchronized their estrus by means of intramuscular and intravulvar injection of 7.5 mg prostaglandin Fɑ (PGF2ɑ) twice in 11-day intervals. After the second injection, the estrous detector value measurement, visual observation of the estrus sign, and blood sampling were conducted for five days. The blood sample was processed into the serum to examine for progesterone levels by ELISA. The data analysis was using the simple correlation method on SPSS type 23 for windows. The result showed that a positive relationship (p <0.05) with coefficient correlation (r) was 0.609 between the values of the estrous detector measurement with serum progesterone levels. It could be concluded that the estrous detector's low value indicates that the Etawa crossbred was in the estrus phase and followed by the decreasing of progesterone level but not reaching the basal level.

The present study was conducted to examine the relationship between organisational stress and organisational citizenship behaviours (OCBs) in employees of call centers. The study also further explored as how stress at work set-up has negative impact on OCBs. A sample of 250 employees working in call centre of Gurgaon belonging to an age group of 25-30 years were selected on availability basis. All were working married couples living in nuclear families. Job stress survey (Spielberger & Vagg, 1999) and Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (Bateman & Organ, 1983) were administered. Data was analysed by using simple correlation and multiple regression. Results showed the negative relationship between organisational stress and OCBs. Results of regression analysis also exhibited the negative impact of stress on OCBs. The implications for the employees are discussed.

Rainfall which is occurred in an area explain the Onset Rainy Season (ORS). ORS is a characteristic of the rainy season which is important to know, but the characteristics of the rain itself is very difficult to predict. We use the method of Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) to predict ORS. Unfortunately, FIS is weak to determine parameters so that influences the working FIS method. In this study, we use PSO to optimize parameter of the FIS method to increase perform of the FIS method for onset prediction of the rainy season with the predictor Sea Surface Temperature Nino 3.4 and Index Ocean Dipole. We used coefficient correlation to determine the relationship between two variables as predictors and RMSE as evaluate to all methods. The experiment result has shown that the work of FIS-PSO after optimizing produced the good work with the coefficient correlation = 0.57 and RMSE = 2.96 that is the smallest value that is better performance if compared with other methods. It can be concluded that the method proposed can increase the onset prediction of the rainy season.

Abstract Background The clinical implication of the increased serum progesterone level on the day of HCG administration in assisted reproduction treatment (ART) is still controversial. The current study aimed to compare the predictive value of serum progesterone on day of HCG administration / metaphase II oocyte (P/MII) ratio on IVF/ ICSI outcome to serum progesterone (P) level alone and the ratio of serum progesterone/estradiol level (P/E2) ratio in prediction of pregnancy rates after ART. Material & methods Two hundred patients admitted to the IVF/ICSI program at Minia IVF center in Egypt in the period from October 2016 to May 2018 were included in this study. Serum Progesterone (P) and Estradiol (E2) levels were estimated on the day of HCG administration. The ratio between serum P and the number of MII oocytes (P/MII ratio) was calculated and the predictive values of the three parameters (P, P/E2 ratio and P/MII ratio) in prediction of cycle outcomes were measured. Results P/ MII oocyte ratio was significantly lower in patients who attained clinical pregnancy (n = 97) as compared with those who couldn’t whilst there was no significant difference in P and P/E2 ratio between the two groups. Using a cut off value of 0.125, the sensitivity and specificity of progesterone/ MII ratio in prediction of no pregnancy in IVF/ICSI were 75.7 and 77.1% respectively with the area under The Receiver operating curve (ROC-AUC) = 0.808. The respective values of the ROC-AUC for the P and P/E2 ratio were 0.651 and 0.712 with sensitivity and specificity of 71.2 and 73.5%for P level and of 72.5 and 75.3% for P/E2 ratio. Implantation or clinical pregnancy rates were significantly different between patients with high and low P/MII ratio irrespective of day of embryo transfer (day 3 or 5). Conclusions In patients with normal ovarian response, serum progesterone on day of HCG / MII oocyte ratio can be a useful predictor of pregnancy outcomes and in deciding on freezing of all embryos for later transfer instead of high progesterone level alone.

Many of Bunda's Tourism Diploma graduates are still unemployed because some are less interested in becoming self-employed. It because students are not motivated to become entrepreneurs, and the family environment is not yet supported. This study aimed to measure: the relationship between entrepreneurial learning outcomes, entrepreneurial motivation, and family environment with interest in entrepreneurship. This type of research is descriptive correlational. This research population is all students of the Hospitality study program of the Bunda Padang Tourism Academy, batch 2017 and 2018, totaling 61 students. The sample in this study were 61 students using the total sampling technique. The data collection instrument used a questionnaire using a Likert scale and data analysis methods, including simple correlation and multiple correlations. Research is expected to increase students' entrepreneurial knowledge through attitudes, knowledge, and skills to overcome entrepreneurial tasks' complexity, providing real experiences for students to carry out entrepreneurial practices.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the safety and efficacy of medical management of ectopic pregnancy.Materials and methods: This prospective observational study was conducted between February 2011 to August 2013 in Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH) and in different private clinics of Chittagong city. Twenty-seven patients of ectopic pregnancy conceived by fertility treatment were recruited for medical treatment after proper evaluation. Ectopic pregnancy was diagnosed by serum ?-hCG and progesterone level but missing intrauterine pregnancy by transabdominal sonography (TAS). Serum ?-hCG was repeated after 48 hours to observe doubling of the level. If level was not doubled or increment was not at least 66% and serum progesterone level was less than 15ng/ml then it was considered as ectopic pregnancy. Patients were treated with Injection methotrexate 50 mg intramuscularly either by single dose or two doses. After 4 days of 1st injection ?-hCG was repeated and if level decreased > 15% then patients were assessed weekly till ?-hCG fell to <5lU/L. If drop was <15% after 4 days a second dose of methotrexate was given.Results: Overall success rate was 66.66% . Surgical intervention was needed in 22.22% patients. All patients were treated after hospitalization in CMCH and different private clinics of Chittagong. They got injection methotrexate, antibiotic, antispasmodic and analgesics for abdominal pain. Single dose cured 55.55% patients and 11.11% patients needed second dose, another 11.11% patients were misdiagnosed –later on they were diagnosed as intrauterine pregnancy and medical termination was done. Within one year of treatment 33.33% patients conceived again. There was no side effect or complications of the treatment.Conclusion: This small trial gave a good impression about medical treatment in selective cases. The efficacy should be assessed in a randomized clinical trial with a different set of populationBangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2014; Vol. 29(1) : 32-36
