The infant’s refusal to breastfeed can be a stressful and concerning matter for a mother. This study aimed to investigate the frequency and factors leading to nursing strikes in Rafsanjan city. This descriptive study was performed on infants who had been referred to the pediatrician’s office with a complaint of a nursing strike. The research sample included 70 infants, and all the required data, including the causes of the nursing strike and the demographic information of the mother and the infant, were collected using a checklist. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 20 was used to analyze the data. The percentage was used to express qualitative indices, and the mean and standard deviation were used to express quantitative indices. The results showed that the most common factors contributing to the infants’ breast refusal were playfulness and distraction (50%) and recent vaccinations in the last 12 days (48.6%). Besides, the most common maternal factors affecting breast refusal were level of education (67.1%), recent acute stress (41.4%), and inadequate milk production (35.7%). The results of the present study showed that playfulness and distraction of the baby, recent vaccination, use of a pacifier, level of education and recent stress of the mother, breastfeeding program, and insufficient milk production are the most common reasons for nursing strikes.

Dairy farming is vulnerable to seasonal variable factors such as temperature, cold climatic conditions, and rainfall. These affect the production and reproduction traits of dairy animals. Seasonal variability also affects the quantity of consumption and marketing of milk considerably. The study aimed to assess the seasonal fluctuation in milk production in Sivagangai District Cooperative Milk Producer Union Limited (SDCMPUL), Tamil Nadu. The study used secondary data. The milk production data were collected from SDCMPUL, Karaikudi, Tamil Nadu. The data covered the period from 2001-02 to 2020-21. The study used descriptive statistics, CAGR, and paired ‘t-test to determine the variation of milk production according to seasonal changes. The MS office - Excel software and SPSS software were used to analyse the data. The results revealed that the mean milk production of the lean and flush season was 2.46 and 2.30 lakh liters, and the CAGR of milk production in SDCMPUL, Tamil Nadu, during the period 2001-02 to 2020-21 was 5.65 percent, and it was 5.23 percent in lean season and 6.11 percent in the flush season while the growth rate of milk production during the lean and flush season was positive and was significant statistically. It was found that the quantity of milk production was higher in the lean season than a flush season; however, the variability of milk production was more in the flush season than in the lean season.

Abstract Background Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease of the central nervous System.Most women with MS are diagnosed during their reproductive ages.This study evaluated the effect of pregnancy on MS and the effect of MS disease on fertility and pregnancy health. Material & methods: A retrospective descriptive-analytic study was conducted on 110 women suffering from MS with a history of pregnancy(between 2007 and 2017years) in Isfahan, Iran.Samples were selected in a census model.Women completed a researcher-constructed questionnaire by telephone.The questionnaire consisted of three parts: demographic information,MS and its symptoms and its treatment, and the third part was related to the reproductive system and the history of pregnancy associated with MS. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 16 using Chi-square, ANOVA and t-test.Results The mean age of women with MS was 32.4 years.The most common primary symptom was blurred vision(42.7%).In this population,the average number of pregnancies was 1.61,the number of deliveries was 1.35,the number of abortions was 0.24,the history of ectopic pregnancy was 0.01,the number of alive children was 1.36 and the number of dead children was 0.01.The average time of the last MS attack before the pregnancy was 21.36 months. Fatigue(24.5%) was the most common symptom exacerbated during pregnancy. MS symptoms improved in55.0% of subjects in the second trimester.Discussion MS had no effect on the pregnancy status, such as the number of abortions,ectopic pregnancy, alive and dead children and the duration of pregnancy.The symptoms of the disease are improved during pregnancy.Therefore, pregnancy has a protective role against MS.

Background: Tramadol is a widely prescribed analgesic and due to its opioid-like effects, the potential for abuse of tramadol is noticeable. Besides, the complications of tramadol abuse have become a public health concern. This study aimed to investigate the affecting factors on the seizure, as one of the most common complications of tramadol consumption. Methods: A total number of 64 patients from 315 patients who were referred to Sina Hospital, Tabriz, Iran because of tramadol toxicity were included in this 9 months cross-sectional retrospective study. Results: There were 52 males and 12 females in the study. The seizure happened in 53.1% of the subjects and the Mean±SD time between tramadol consumption and seizure was 5.9±7.36 hours. There was no significant association between seizure and sex, age, the dose of tramadol, and previous tramadol consumption history. A significant association was seen between the dose of tramadol and the time of seizure. Conclusion: Seizure that happens due to tramadol overdose is not dependent on sex, age, and previous history of tramadol consumption. As the dose of tramadol is higher, the seizure happens later. More research is needed to understand why the seizure occurs later in higher doses.

ABSTRACT Introduction Capnography is routinely used for monitoring of patients subjected to sedation for different surgical procedures. There is still paucity of data highlighting the capnographic assessment of patients on midazolam sedation undergoing oral surgical procedures. Hence, we planned the present study to assess the alterations occurring in the end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) values monitored during intravenous (IV) sedation with midazolam during various oral surgical procedures. Materials and methods The present study included assessment of alteration in ETCO2 values occurring during oral surgical procedure. After meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 40 participants were included in the present study. Pulse oximeter with capnograph (EmcoMeditek Pvt., Ltd., India) device was used for assessment of respiratory rate (RR) and ETCO2 values. The mean of 12 readings over a period of 1 minute before the starting of first infusion was referred to as baseline time. By evaluating the first four readings at an interval of 15 seconds during the 1st minute of infusion, we obtained the 1 minute average reading. All the data were compiled and recorded and assessed by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Results A total of 40 participants were included, out of which, 20 were males and 20 were females. At the baseline time, mean value of ETCO2 was 31 mm Hg, while mean value of oxygen saturation (SpO2) was 36%. Out of total 40 participants, 15 showed the presence of respiratory depression. Out of these 15 participants, ETCO2 changes from baseline were observed in 13 participants. Conclusion No oxygen should be delivered, unless until required, to the healthy participants undergoing dental sedation procedures, for marinating the sensitivity of pulse oximetry during assessment of respiratory depression. Clinical significance In patients undergoing sedation procedures, various monitoring techniques should be employed as respiratory depression is a commonly encountered risk factor.

Aimed to the social risk appraise of construction project, the qualitative and quantitative analysis, as well as the theory and empirical research methodologies are used in this paper, and taking a Demolition and Relocation Project of Guangzhou as the Study Case. Based on questionnaire investigation and depth interview to the samples of reference groups in this project, the potential social risk and the real appeals of the reference groups are described systematically and objectively in this paper. In the mean time, the SPSS software is used to analyses the statistical data. Finally, focused on above analysis, the relevant suggestions to prevent the social risk are proposed. Appraising conclusion shows that most sensitive people, within the scope of demolition, agree on the quasi decision-making matters on the construction project, and at least, they are not opposed to it. However, there are several practical issues to which we need to pay close attentions and to require proper solutions. Before these issues are solved, suspending the demolition is suggested.

Introduction: There are varied scrotal findings in subfertile males of which ultrasonography is a readily available, non-ionizing and reproducible imaging modality of choice for proper assessment. Aim: To identify the patterns of scrotal ultrasonographic findings in suspected subfertile males in Enugu.  Study Design: A comparative cross sectional prospective study.  Place and Duration of Study: Department of Radiation Medicine University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) Enugu, between July 2019 and February 2020.  Methodology: 130 adult males comprising 65 suspected subfertile males and 65 normal adult males were recruited for this study. Ultrasound scanning was done on research participants using 5.0-7.5 MHz linear transducer on a mobile “ALOKA” ultrasound machine. The obtained data were coded, validated, and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences SPSS software, version 24, percentage, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t test. A P-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.  Results: A total of 130 subjects were scanned. The mean age was 41.2years. The mean testicular volume was 10.01±4.09 cm3. There was a wide variety of findings in the assessed subfertile males ranging from normal to inhomogeneous testicular echotexture and varicocoele. Varicocoele was the commonest finding accounting for 50% of other findings, followed by hydrocoele (22%), then 10% had inhomogeneous echotexture while microlithiasis, undescended testis as well as epididymal cyst all had 6%.  Conclusion: Ultrasonographic evaluation of testis is invaluable in the assessment of patterns of findings in male subfertility. Varicocoele was the commonest sonologic finding among the suspected subfertile males. This is reassuring as varicocoele is readily treatable cause of subfertility compared to complex multifactorial causes of female subfertility.

The Mathematical Model

PurposeThis paper aims to propose a mathematical model for describing and clarifying the relationships among the indicators governing the social values of special customers in business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce systems. This mathematical model is also able to describe the degree of adaptability of e-commerce systems to the social values of specific clients, and commercial firms are able to use the parameters described in this paper to increase the versatility and has the power to trade with special customers in different areas.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, while analyzing the issue of trading from the point of view of the customer as an element of trading, the affecting factors the trading space have been extracted. These affecting factors are categorized in three major groups: culture, technology and customers. This classification is based on the e-commerce and developing the traditional commerce. Using the mapping functions, the effects of each element in these three spaces on the concept of social values have been analyzed. The result of this analysis is the mathematical model governing each parameter and its semantic relation with the concept of social value.FindingsThe presence of a mathematical model between the indicators influencing the model adaptability and social values space allows e-commerce system designers to be able to make decisions on the adaptability of the model with a quantitative approach. To examine the proposed mathematical models, important frameworks and patterns in the field of e-commerce have been analyzed with an Islamic approach, as one of the adaptations of B2C e-commerce model.Research limitations/implicationsRegarding the innovation of the work, the case has been made, and the concept of social value and the model governing the elements of social values in this paper, in a B2C e-commerce model, has been discussed in general; the problem is parametric solved.Practical implicationsOne of the key concepts in commerce is the ability of the commerce model to adapt to the requirements of special customers. This is more important in costumer-based e-commerce models. In these types of systems, if the commerce cannot match the customer’s characteristics, it will not be accepted and used by customers. This is especially more important in the field of social values for customers.Originality/valueIn this paper, a mathematical model is presented to examine the adaptability of e-commerce systems to the social values of special customers. In examining this model, the relationship between each element affecting the social value of specific customers and the factors affecting trade has been studied.

ABSTRACT Context: Epilepsy is a neurological disorder affecting 70 million worldwide. The high incidence of relapse can be attributed to nonadherence, thus increasing the incidence of refractory epilepsy to 10%–20%. Aims: This study was planned to determine rate of adherence and factors affecting adherence using Antiepileptic Adherence Questionnaire and Baseline Adherence Questionnaire. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was carried out at a rural hospital from May to September 2015. Patients of either gender aged 18–60 years, diagnosed with epilepsy were interviewed after they consented. Patient details, responses to questionnaires were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: Among the participants, 67.8% were males and 32.2% were females with the mean age of 38.3 ± 13.9 years. The response rate was 75% (90/120). The majority were literate (64.4%) and employed (58.9%). The duration of disease was <5 years in most individuals; 50% were highly, 21.1% moderately, and 28.9% nonadherent to treatment. Among the highly adherent, 66.7% never skipped medications because they had knowledge of the disease and treatment. More than 97% were satisfied with the social support, and 89% expressed that their family and friends reminded them to take medications. Patients who were nonadherent to treatment attributed it to the lack of knowledge of the disease (57%) and treatment (96%). Reasons for nonadherence were patients assumed drug was harmful, felt cured of the disease, and wanted to avoid side effects. Conclusion: Nearly, 70% expressed the lack of satisfactory support from the social circle. We observed that nearly seventy percent epileptic patients were moderate-highly adherent. Nonadherence was attributed to patient feeling cured of disease and assuming medications to be harmful. Counseling of patients will help in adherence to treatment.

The agrarian discourse of social responsibility as a scientific paradigm is rarely addressed in research. Thus the problem arise how to apply the paradigm of social responsibility to the agrarian discourse so that it could help disclose farmers’ social responsibility to local community and it’s affecting factors. The aim of this study is to propose a methodology for assessing the social responsibility of farmers to local communities with regard to education and to explore further possibilities of its application. The research is based on original empirical data collected through structured telephone interviews from 1108 Lithuanian farmers in January-February 2017. The results of the study confirm that the agrarian discourse of social responsibility as a scientific paradigm is applicable to disclose farmer’s social responsibility to local community with regard to education. Assessment of other factors affecting farmer’s social responsibility is on demand for future research.
