Abstract:
AbstractInfertility has been a major medical and social preoccupation since the dawn of human existence and women have always been the symbol of fertility. A 34-year-old woman presented with inability to conceive for the past 2.5 years. A single dose of indicated homeopathic remedy helped her conceive during the following month. In contrast with the fertility specialists, homeopathic treatment addresses the entire underlying bio–psycho–social dimension under a single roof. Publication of a collective pooled data may help us establish this beyond doubt, for the benefit of incomplete families!

Human fertility is a broad concept, encompassing the human biological, mental, and spiritual spheres. It can be referred to the procreation as the multiplication of the number of beings or it can be considered in the aspect of the human ontic structure, taking into account the ontic founds of the soul. Fertility was also understood as the ability to transmit life in the sense of the function of an organic body or a spiritual element. Finally, the issue of fertility was related to the mutual relations of parents and their children, and its understanding was broadened to include the context of t

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractCo-composting is a technique that allows the aerobic degradation of organic waste mixtures, primarily aiming at obtaining compost that can be used as fertiliser or soil amendment. As compared to the typical composting activity, the main difference is not merely the use of more than one feedstock to start and sustain the biodegradation process, but also the possibility of combining various kinds of waste to obtain ‘tailored’ products with designed properties, or to reclaim and valorise natural resources, such as degraded soils or polluted soils and sediments. Set up of appropriate co-composting protocols can be a way to optimise the management of waste produced by different sectors of agriculture and industry and also from human settlements. Different formulations can not only optimise the biodegradation process through the adjustment of nutrient ratios, but also lead to the formation of products with innovative properties. Moreover, co-composting can be a technique of choice for the reclamation of soils degraded by intensive agriculture or contaminated soils and sediments. In fact, an appropriate mix of organic waste and soils can restore the soil structure and induce fertility in nutrient-depleted soils, and also remediate polluted soils and sediments through degradation of organic pollutants and stabilisation of heavy metals. While the selection of different mixes of organic waste may lead to the design of composts with specific properties and the potential valorisation of selected waste materials, there are still several factors that hamper the development of co-composting platforms, mainly insufficient knowledge of some chemical and microbiological processes, but also some legislative aspects. This chapter illustrates the progress achieved in co-composting technology worldwide, some key legislative aspects related to the co-composting process, the main scientific and technical aspects that deserve research attention to further develop co-composting technology, and successful applications of co-composting for the reclamation of soils and sediments, allowing their use for cultivation or as growing media in plant nurseries. A specific case study of the production of fertile plant-growing media from sediment co-composting with green waste is also illustrated.

Abstract:
Beginning in 1960, a phenomenon occurred that John Caldwell named the ‘global fertility transition’ (Caldwell, 1997), in which fertility declines have become the general rule throughout the world, including in the majority of the less developed countries. This is important partly because fertility is in many circumstances negatively associated with socio-economic development (Bryant, 2007). From 1970–75 to 2005–10, the average total fertility rate (TFR) for the developing world fell by half, from 5.4 to 2.7 births per woman on average (United Nations, 2011). However, global figures hide important differences in fertility levels among the different regions. In Asia and Latin America, the reproductive behaviour of women reflected the pattern of change noted by Caldwell, halving the TFR in the last 35 years. In Africa, on the contrary, fertility stagnated at 6.2–6.4 from 1950 to 1985, and then began a decline that was much slower than in other developing regions. As a whole, the TFR of sub-Saharan Africa has, for decades, been higher than the fertility levels elsewhere. This was the case in 1950 and 1975, and remains so today. Fertility differences among countries are now larger than ever because transitions to replacement fertility have not yet started in some subpopulations of Western and Middle Africa, but have already been completed in others (e.g. in the economically most advanced countries of Asia, especially East Asia, as well as in many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean). As a result, the observed TFRs of (former) developing countries in 2005–10 range from a high of 7.1 in Niger to a low of 1.0 in Hong Kong. All regions of the world experience wide variations in their TFRs. For instance, East Asia has experienced a faster fertility decline than countries like Pakistan in south-central Asia. Moreover, fertility levels can show significant variations within a single country. This is the case in India, where Northern and Southern patterns of fertility are very different. Overall, regional variations are most apparent in sub-Saharan Africa.

Abstract:
According to Chesnais (1992), the fluctuation of human populations can be summarized into three broad categories: the pretransitional, transitional, and posttransitional cycles. In the pretransitional period before the Industrial Revolution, population fluctuations appear to reflect natural constraints of the environment. In more recent centuries, there were changes of the vital rates from high fertility-high mortality to low fertility-low mortality, which are referred to as demographic transitions. In this transitional period, because the decline of mortality usually leads that of fertility, fluctuations in the population age structure are a natural consequence of such a transition. After this transitional period, in many developed countries the mortality rate is stabilized, and female fertility becomes a typical family decision. Since family fertility decisions are related to other market institutions, the posttransitional population cycles have close interactions with these institutional elements. Although the population cycles can be separated into the three above-mentioned types, these cyclical movements share one common feature: the Malthusian environmental check always plays a direct or indirect role. In the next few chapters, I will discuss how the environmental checks interact with human decisions and institutions and how these interactions affect the cyclical movement of the population. Thomas Malthus argued that all populations are subject to environmental constraints and that these constraints operate through a variety of checks to population growth. If there are no such checks, we have a stationary branching process as described in chapters 2-6. In that case, the population will converge to a steady state under weak assumptions, and there are fluctuations only in the process of convergence. When there are environmental checks, the strength of the checks determines the speed with which the system tends toward equilibrium; this speed, relative to response lags that are intrinsic to the process, heavily influences the dynamic behavior of the economic-demographic system. When checks are weak, shocked populations tend to converge slowly without overshooting and to move in cycles one generation long (Lee, 1974). If checks arc stronger, overshooting may occur, and longer cycles of periodicity spanning two generations or more are possible, as population size and growth rates oscillate about their equilibrium values.

Full text
Abstract:
Sperm vitrification has been used in the field of assisted reproductive technology (ART) for years and has resulted in many healthy live births. Compared to the conventional sperm slow freezing method, vitrification is simpler, quicker, and less expensive, and some vitrification methods are also cryoprotectant free, which has the potential to become an alternative cryopreservation method for human sperm. Human sperm vitrification has been the most commonly used and valuable way to preserve the fertility of males with small numbers of spermatozoa. Recently, new sperm vitrification devices have been developed to help improve volume control. Direct contact during the vitrification process with liquid nitrogen increases the risk of cross-contamination. New strategies have been implemented to minimize the contamination risk. Depending on the variety of semen parameters and patients’ purposes at ART clinics, specific sperm cryopreservation approaches should be personalized to achieve the optimal results for each case.

Abstract:
Antirheumatic drugs in pregnancy and lactation are increasingly a common clinical dilemma. With the shift towards early, aggressive control of autoimmune diseases and with the advent of newer therapeutic agents, there is a need to understand the effects of these medicines in pregnancy and lactation, on fertility in both men and women, and on the process of spermatogenesis, in order to understand the risk of teratogenesis. Although there are some limited data available for the use of antirheumatic drugs in pregnancy and lactation, much of our knowledge is derived from animal models and from limited clinical experience in human pregnancy. The balance of therapeutic benefits and risks of harm to mother and fetus should always be carefully considered: it may vary between individuals and should be assessed on a case by case basis. Because of these issues, pregnancy should always be discussed and planned in advance, in part to reduce disease activity prior to conception but also to minimize risk to the fetus. In this chapter we use the available evidence to discuss medicines which are commonly used in the treatment of rheumatological autoimmune diseases, and cover disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDS) and biological agents.

Abstract:
Mainstream demographers studying the pattern of human population are used to classifying people by their ages. In the terminology of branching processes, the type space of the stochastic process is a subset of positive real numbers that characterize human ages. This chapter deals with this case and studies the corresponding steady states and comparative statics. I showed in chapter 2 that the dynamics of any type-specific population structure can be described by the equation Nt = QNt·l and that Q is block-decomposable in the age-specific case. The fact that the northeast block of Q being a zero matrix not only helps us derive the eigen-values and eigenvectors of Q but also helps us characterize the dynamic evolution of the birth size. Let Bt be the size of birth at period t, la = p1 × • • • × pa be the probability that a person can survive to age a, and ma be the average number of births per surviving member aged a. We see that the following accounting identity must hold: which is Lotka’s (1939) well-known renewal equation. is useful for deriving the steady-state age distribution. Given the assumption of a time-invariant fertility function mu, the total size of birth Bt, which is a linear combination of birth sizes of all fertile age groups, naturally grows at a constant rate in the steady state.

ABSTRACT Background: Previous studies suggest that tobacco use affects systems of the human body involved in the reproductive process. Tobacco smoke exposure affects uterine receptivity, which may lead the risk of infertility. This study aimed to investigate the associations between cigarette smoke exposure, family history of infertility, and the risk of infertility among women in reproductive age. Subjects and Method: A case control study was conducted at obstetrics and gynecology polyclinic and Sekar fertility clinic, in Dr. Moewardi hospital, Surakarta, Central Java, from October to Novembe

Abstract:
Family planning improves health, reduces poverty, and empowers women. Yet, today, more than 200 million women in the developing world want to avoid pregnancy but are not using a modern method of contraception. They face many obstacles, including lack of access to information and health-care services, opposition from their husbands and communities, misperceptions about side effects, and cost. Family planning programs are among the most successful development interventions of the past 50 years. They are unique in their range of potential benefits, encompassing economic development, maternal and
