The aim: To determine the serum FAMG in the I and II trimester of pregnancy in women with a past history of chronic endometritis, and to clarify its impact on the development of pathology of pregnancy. Materials and methods: The level of FAMG was determined at 6-8 and 16-18 weeks of gestation in 135 pregnant women with a past history of chronic endometritis, who received treatment of chronic endometritis at the stage of pregravid preparation and 168 women who became pregnant without its prior treatment. The dependence of the development of pre-eclampsia on the level of FAMG at the early stages of pregnancy has been evaluated. Results: At 6-8 weeks of pregnancy, the level of FAMG in women with a past history of chronic endometritis was 20.6% lower (122.4 ± 7.6 ng/ml) compared to the control group. In FAMG of 90.3 ± 4.3 ng/ml at 6-8 weeks of gestation, spontaneous abortion occurred in 100% of cases within the next 2 weeks. FAMG lower than 122,1 ± 3,0 ng/ml can be the predisposing factor for the development of pre-eclampsia. Conclusions: Reduced FAMG in the beginning of pregnancy in women with untreated chronic endometritis in the past history increases the incidence of miscarriages at the early stages by 2.6 times, and by 1.8 times the probability of preeclampsia development. Treatment of chronic endometritis at the stage of pregravid preparation promotes the increase of FAMG by 24,6% compared to untreated women that reduces the probability of complications during the subsequent course of pregnancy.

The role of Venus and Mercury transits is crucial to know the past history of the solar diameter. Through the W parameter, the logarithmic derivative of the radius with respect to the luminosity, the past values of the solar luminosity can be recovered. The black drop phenomenon affects the evaluation of the instants of internal and external contacts between the planetary disk and the solar limb. With these observed instants compared with the ephemerides the value of the solar diameter is recovered. The black drop and seeing effects are overcome with two fitting circles, to Venus and to the Sun, drawn in the undistorted part of the image. The corrections of ephemerides due to the atmospheric refraction will also be taken into account. The forthcoming transit of Venus will allow an accuracy on the diameter of the Sun better than 0.01 arcsec, with good images of the ingress and of the egress taken each second. Chinese solar observatories are in the optimal conditions to obtain valuable data for the measurement of the solar diameter with the Venus transit of 5/6 June 2012 with an unprecedented accuracy, and with absolute calibration given by the ephemerides.

Role Of Women

This Introduction outlines the need for a ‘true history’ (Lerner 1976) of the role of women in the history of linguistics, which considers them on their own terms, and challenges categories and concepts devised for traditional male-dominated accounts. We start by considering what research has already been conducted in the field, before exploring some of the reasons for the relative dearth of studies. We outline some of the challenges and opportunities encountered by women who wished to study the nature of language and languages in the past. The geographical and chronological scope of this volume is then discussed. In a central section we examine some of the major recurring themes in the volume. These include attitudes towards women’s language, both positive and negative; women and language acquisition and teaching; and women as creators of new languages and scripts. We further explore women as authors, dedicatees, or intended readers of metalinguistic texts, as interpreters and translators, and as contributors to the linguistic documentation and maintenance. We consider how women supported male relatives and colleagues in their endeavours, sometimes in invisible ways, before reviewing the early stages of their entry into institutionalized contexts. The chapter concludes with a brief section on future directions for research.

Background & objective: The present study was undertaken to justify the role of routine antenatal screening for syphilis using the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) test in Bangladeshi pregnant women. Methods: The study was carried out in the Department of Gynecology & Obstetrics Inpatient and Outpatient, Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) and selected Private Clinics over a period of 6 months between January 2016 to June 2016. Pregnant women attending at the above-mentioned places during the study period were the study population. A total of 371 women attending at antenatal clinic at OPD or admitted in the Inpatient Department of DMCH were consecutively included. The outcome variable was outcome of VDRL test. Result: In the present study, the mean age of the pregnant women was 24.3 years. In terms of occupation, housewife comprised the main bulk (78.8%). About 64% were multigravida and 60% were primipara. Of the 371 pregnant women subjected to VDRL test, only 4(1.1%) exhibited reactive. About one-third of the women had history of past abortion. Of them two-thirds had experienced abortion once. Of the aborted cases 57% were spontaneous and 43% induced. Ten percent of the women gave the history of delivering dead baby. Three-quarters of the dead babies were fresh, 22.2% had skin lesion and only one was macerated. Half of the women had history of vaginal discharge, 27.2% itching in vagina and vulva and 17% dysuria. However, very few husbands had dysuria, pus discharge through urethra or ulcer in the genital region. About 10% of women gave the history opthalmia neonatrum in their children born in the past. History of dysuria was rare (0.8%), but pus discharged from urethra of their husbands was 12.1%. HbsAg was found positive in 5(1.3%) cases and pus-cell in urine in 41(11.1%) cases. Conclusion: The study concluded that pregnant women with VDRL test positivity in Bangladeshi population are low and, as such, the role of routine antenatal screening for syphilis with VDRL test should be re-considered.

The present study examined the effects of group size and percentage of the subjects starting with majority behavior upon the process of achieving behavioral uniformity. Four groups of 12 and five groups of 24 subjects were formed. The starting points at the beginning of the experiments were set to 50%, 67%, and 83%. Each subject was given a B5 size card having different colors on the front and the back and showed either side of the cards to others. Subjects shared the goal of achieving uniformity by selecting one of two color options. Analysis indicated that group size did not affect time to complete unanimity and a logistic function was found between the transition probability and the rate of diffusion. According to a Markov model, subjects do not react to the past history of the group. We found that the transition probability was dependent upon not only the percentage of individuals at a given moment but also the initial value in the beginning. This means that the transition probability was influenced by past history.

The objective: to study the features of the course of pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period in women with a history of surgical treatment of ovarian apoplexy.Materials and methods. The study involved 62 women in labor (main group, n=62), who were operated on for ovarian apoplexy before pregnancy, and 60 patients in the control group (n=60), who did not have this pathology in the anamnesis. The average age of women was 26,1±2,3 years, the time interval from an episode of ovarian apoplexy to pregnancy was 5,44±2,7 years. Re-apoplexy was observed in 2 cases (3,22%).Results. The study found that the main complication in the first trimester of pregnancy was reproductive loss, mainly in the form of a stillborn pregnancy. In the early stages of gestation, the threat of abortion was 3 times more often observed in the main group than in the control group. In the second trimester draws attention to several facts of complications that are characteristic of patients in the main group: the widespread prevalence of acute or chronic infectious pathology in the acute stage (51,6% vs. 11,7% in the control group), the development of preeclampsia 2 times more often among pregnant women with ovarian apoplexy (38,7% vs. 20,0%), as well as mild anemia (40,3% vs. 21,6%).The results of the study indicate a high frequency of premature ejaculation of amniotic fluid in pregnant women with ovarian apoplexy (29,0% vs. 13,3%), rapid labor (16,1% vs. 1,7%), umbilical cord entanglement (33,9% vs. 15,0%), hypotonic bleeding in the early postpartum period (14,5% vs. 1,67%). The frequency of cesarean section did not differ significantly in both groups (p>0,05). The assessment of newborns on the Apgar scale had no statistically significant differences.Conclusion. Pregnant women who have a history of surgical treatment of ovarian apoplexy are at risk for developing early miscarriage, complicated gestation, childbirth and the postpartum period. Analysis of the reproductive function of women in the study groups reflected the problems of gestation mainly in the early stages in the form of reproductive loss or symptoms of miscarriage, in the late stages of pregnancy complications were mainly due to extragenital pathology. The data obtained during the study in practice should contribute to the development of rehabilitation measures and pre-pregnancy training, which are aimed at restoring reproductive health and prevention of complications of pregnancy and childbirth in women at risk.

Introduction. Today, the frequency of infertility is increasing worldwide. Infertility, associated with anovulation, is especially challenging for the medical correction especially. The leading aspect of this problem is hormonal disorders in the body of a woman. The aim of this study was to assess the level of estradiol and progesterone in the blood serum of pregnant women with cervical insufficiency and infertility associated with anovulation in the history. Materials and methods. The main group included 30 pregnant women with the II trimester of pregnancy, who had cervical insufficiency and infertility associated with anovulation in the past medical history. They got pregnant after assisted reproductive technologies. The control group included 30 pregnant women without cervical insufficiency and with physiological gestation. Estradiol and progesterone levels in blood serum were determined at 20-22 and 30-32 weeks of gestation. Results. The average age of the women in the basic group was statistically higher relative to the control one – 31.30±1.16 and 27.30±0.92 years, respectively (p=0.02). There was no difference in the number of pregnancies in women between both groups. In the main group, 73.33% of the persons were primagravida, 10.00 % of patients had two pregnancies, and 16.67 % - three pregnancies. 56.67 % of the women in the control group were primagravida, 26.67 % had two pregnancies, 16.66 % - three pregnancies. Although primaparas predominated in both groups, the number of such women was in 1.47 times higher in the main group (93.33 %) than in control (63.33 % of patients; χ2=6.28, p=0.01); 6.67 % and 26.67 % women had two labors respectively and 10.00 % of healthy patients - three labors. The concentration of estradiol at the 20-22 and 30-32 weeks of pregnancy in women of the main group almost corresponded to physiological parameters. However, the progesterone level in women with cervical insufficiency and a history of infertility was by 13.44 % lower than in healthy pregnant women at 20-22 weeks, and by 17.02% at 30-32 weeks (p=0.003). Conclusions. In pregnant women with cervical insufficiency and infertility associated with anovulation, the level of estradiol in the II and III trimesters of gestation mainly corresponds to the level of physiological pregnancy. However, they have the decrease in progesterone concentration in the III trimester of pregnancy relative to healthy pregnant women (p<0.003).

The Belarusian emigration magazine “March” was published in 1947–1948 in Germany. The main editor was a well-known Belarusian literary critic and writer Anton Adamowicz. Although only three issues were published, the role of this magazine was crucial. It continued the tradition of the Belarusian literary magazines published in Belarus during the 20s and the 30s of the 20th century. A. Adamowicz was engaged in cooperation with many talented writers and critics. Also, he published a lot of his own material: short stories and critical texts. The problems posed in these texts were connected not only with the past history of Belarus, but also with its current situation at the time. The magazine became a springboard to introduce various views about the development of Belarusian literature and culture in exile.

This article investigates the ways in which the work of The Body Politic (TBP), the first major lesbian and gay newspaper in Canada, comes to be commemorated in queer publics and how it figures in the memories of those who were involved in producing the paper. In revisiting a critical point in the history of TBP from 1985 when controversy erupted over race and racism within the editorial collective, this discussion considers the role of memory in the reproduction of whiteness and in the rupture of standard narratives about the past. As the controversy continues to haunt contemporary queer activism in Canada, the productive work of memory must be considered an essential aspect of how, when and for what reasons the work of TBP comes to be commemorated. By revisiting the events of 1985 and by sifting through interviews with individuals who contributed to the work of TBP, this article complicates the narrative of TBP as a bluntly racist endeavour whilst questioning the white privilege and racially-charged demands that undergird its commemoration. The work of producing and preserving queer history is a vital means of challenging the intentional and strategic erasure of queer existence, but those who engage in such efforts must remain attentive to the unequal terrain of social relations within which remembering forms its objects.
