Stimulation day-six serum estradiol: a predictive indicator for the probability of embryo cryopreservation in IVF/ICSI cycles
No full textObjective: To evaluate the predictive value of stimulation day six serum estradiol (E2) for the probability of embryo cryopreservation after fresh embryo transfer in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. Subjects and Methods: The study included 282 ICSI cycles for different causes of infertility, provided that the age of the female partner was 900. The mean number of oocytes retrieved was 6.3, 8.9, and 12.4; the mean number of obtained embryos was 3.3, 4.8, and 6.7; and pregnancy rates were 18.1, 36.2, and 44.7% in the three groups, respectively. Rate of embryo cryopreservation, after transfer of three good-quality embryos was 70.7% in Group III, and 26.5% in Group I. (P = 0.01). The negative predictive value of day-six E2 900 pg/mL has a sensitivity of 55%, specificity of 72% and positive predictive value of 50% for embryo freezing. Conclusion: Higher stimulation day-six estradiol was associated with a higher probability of cryopreservation, and a higher pregnancy rate
Parody in the Tradition of Farzand-Nameh-Newisi with Emphasis on Sheikh Al-Maqamerin’s Nasihat-Nameh
No full textFarzand-nameh is one of the most important and ancient genres of didactic literature that parents have written with the aim of teaching science and religious and moral education to their children. Advice is the most important part of this Literary genre. Because the audience of this literary genre is mostly young people - and young nature tends to be rebellious and disobedient- they may not like it. Hence, there are always Rhetorical restrictions in front of them. Hence, authors and composers of these works are looking for rhetorical tools to solve these problems. Parody can be a rhetorical tool that has a deep effect on the audience by breaking the norms of the traditions of Farzand-nameh. In this paper, the contradictory functions of this literary genre are examined by studying the case of the manuscript of the Sheikh al-Maqamerin's advice book. This manuscript is a parody of Qaboos Nameh written by Ibrahim Khorasani for his son. Sheikh al-Maqamerin criticizes the two age-old traditions in Farzand-nameh: Pay attention to the personal benefit and people's judgment. In addition, the author has used parody to describe the turmoil and corruption of his time with his son in order to turn him away from moral vices by turning him upside down
Biopolymeric sustainable materials and their emerging applications
No full textAdvancements in polymer science and engineering have helped the scientific community to shift its attention towards the use of environmentally benign materials for reducing the environmental impact of conventional synthetic plastics. Biopolymers are environmentally benign, chemically versatile, sustainable, biocompatible, biodegradable, inherently functional, and ecofriendly materials that exhibit tremendous potential for a wide range of applications including food, electronics, agriculture, textile, biomedical, and cosmetics. This review also inspires the researchers toward more consumption of biopolymer-based composite materials as an alternative to synthetic composite materials. Herein, an overview of the latest knowledge of different natural- and synthetic-based biodegradable polymers and their fiber-reinforced composites is presented. The review discusses different degradation mechanisms of biopolymer-based composites as well as their sustainability aspects. This review also elucidates current challenges, future opportunities, and emerging applications of biopolymeric sustainable composites in numerous engineering fields. Finally, this review proposes biopolymeric sustainable materials as a propitious solution to the contemporary environmental crisis

Lui, Le Livre d'El-Mahdi Acherchour ou la déconstruction du champ romanesque
No full textLui, Le livre, d'El-Mahdi Acherchour, est un texte hors-forme, hors-genre, un texte qui rompt avec les catégorisations génériques et où l'auteur opère une perturbation de sa réception qui compromet sa compréhension. Nous tentons ici d'analyser sa généricité, de comprendre comment Acherchour se charge de le déconstruire et d'en révéler les mécanismes profonds qui guident cette écriture fragmentaire et incisive.The work of El-Mahdi Acherchour puzzles readers by his title, Lui, Le livre, and mostly by his complex aspect which reveals incontestably the desire of the author to transgress the novel�s traditional categories. His manner to mix different genres confers to his writing a kind of structure absolutely exploded. In our paper, we will try to understand how this generic strategy is used in this narrative and to explain what the author thinks according to this hybrid genre

Konsep Imam Mahdi Syi’ah Ithna ‘Asyariyah: Perspektif Mitologi Mircea Eliade
No full textABSTRAK
Judul penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh struktur doktrinal Shi’ah Ithna ‘Asyariyah terhadap Imam Mahdi yang sangat fundamental. Dasar keyakinan makna Imam yang sangat dilandasi oleh kekuatan magic, kekuatan dimensi spiritual
Sesungguhnya Masalah doktrin Imamah yang sangat fundamental bisa didefinisikan sebagai sesuatu konsep Imamah yang secara esoterik tidak rasional “esoteric nonrational Imamism”, tidak terkecuali konsep Imam Mahdi Shi’ah Ithna ‘Asyariyah. Tetapi apa yang sudah dilakukan oleh pelaku tradisi mitis pada hakikatnya adalah proses penghayatan holistik dan upaya memperjelas nilai–nilai abstrak. Karena sesungguhnya tradisi mitis merupakan tradisi yang secara eksoteris adalah abstrak, tidak gampang dinilai dengan satu mata tapi harus mendalami juga apa hakikat atau aspek esoteris dari tradisi mitis tersebut. Meskipun dalam pandangan orang lain, itu sangatlah tidak rasional dan tidak logis. Sesuatu yang nampak jelas di depan mata bisa menjadi dimensi kekuatan penuh dan stimulus kekuatan hidup.
Seperti pernyataan Elilade bahwa mitos memiliki peranan penting karena melukiskan lintasan supranatural ke dalam dunia, atau berusaha membuat dunia yang natural menjadi supranatural. Unsur mitos itulah ekspektasi manusia religius terhadap supranatural. Selain itu terdapat unsur lain yang menambahkan pola mitos dari tanda–tanda (simbol) waktu dan sejarah yang sakral. ketiga pokok dasar mitos ini sangat mempengaruhi substansi supranatural dunia.
Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan dua macam teknik yang dipakai yakni pertama, teknik penggalian data dan kedua teknik analisa data. Untuk metode penggalian data, penulis menggunakan metode Library Research (riset kepustakaan) terhadap literatur–literatur primer maupun skunder. Literatur–literatur primer terdiri dari karya–karya penulis dari pihak Shi’ah sementara yang lain dari penulis Shi’ah tentang konsep Imam Mahdi Shi’ah Ithna ‘Asyariyah. Selain itu juga buku–buku yang ditulis oleh Mircea Eliade.
Pendekatan analisa penelitian ini menggunakan antropologi positivisme. Dengannya berguna menghasilkan kemungkinan pemahaman obyektif, selain itu mendapatkan data–data atau perspektif yang tepat, kritis dan obyektif atas kesejarahan Shi’ah Ithna ‘Asyariyah, selain itu tanpa harus memberikan pertanyaan atau wawancara kepada informan. Tetapi hanya melihat fakta sosial dan tulisan tulisan pelaku dari fakta sosial tersebut. Metode ini penulis mencoba memberikan interpretasi atau penafsiran sesuai dengan kecendrungan teks yang diinginkan oleh penulis Shi’a.
Hasil penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa mitos yang dikatakan oleh Mircea Eliade dimiliki juga oleh keyakinan sakralitas Shi’ah Ithna ‘Asyariyah terhdap Imam Mahdi. Kekuatan power sakralitas Imam Mahdi membentuk proses eksistensi dan ekspektasi kehidupan Shi’ah di dunia. Karena sesungguhnya itulah (mitos) hal utama yang dijadikan iman dan landasan hidup. Supranatural dari unsur natural menjadikannya dimensi kekuatan spiritual penuh.
