The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of body mass index (BMI) on semen parameters, level of sex hormone and sperm DNA integrity. Semen samples were collected from (85) infertile men and (40) healthy fertile men with range of age (38.191 ± 0.84) years during their attendance at High Institute of Infertility Diagnosis and ART, Al-Nahrain University from March to June 2016. Semen samples were obtained by masturbation after 72 hours of abstinence. Seminal fluid analyses included semen volume, sperm concentration, percent sperm motility, percent sperm morphology, and sperm chromatin integrity DNA fragmentation index (DFI]). Serum samples were collected from each subject for determination the level of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Prolactin (PRL), and Testosterone by ELISA method. The results revealed a highly significant (P≤ 0.01) increase in BMI and immotile sperm (%), and significant(P≤ 0.05) increase in semen liquefaction time, non-progressive motility (%), round cells counts and sperm DNA fragmentation in infertile men as compared to control group, while there was a highly significant (P≤ 0.01) decrease in progressive motility (%), and a significant (P< 0.05) decrease in the sperm concentration, sperm motility (%) and normal sperm morphology (%). The results showed statistically significant (P< 0.05) positive correlations between body mass index and sperm motility, progressive motility, non-progressive motility, immotile sperm, normal sperm morphology and sperm DNA fragmentation. No significant correlations were observed between body mass index and semen liquefaction time, semen PH, sperm concentration, round cells counts and age. In respect with level of serum hormones a significant (P< 0.05) decrease in level of FSH ,LH and testosterone was found ,while the level of prolactin showed a significant (P< 0.05) increase in infertile men when compared with control group. Significant (P< 0.05) negative correlation was observed between body mass index and serum level of prolactin and testosterone, while non-significant correlations were observed between body mass index and serum level of FSH and LH. In conclusion, this study has shown that body mass index has major effect on semen characteristics and sex hormones.
Let R be a ring with identity and let M be a left R-module. M is called µ-lifting modulei f for every sub module A of M, There exists a direct summand D of M such that M = D D', for some sub module D' of M such that A≤D and A D'<<µ D'. The aim of this paper is to introduce properties of µ-lifting modules. Especially, we give characterizations of µ-lifting modules. On the other hand, the notion of amply µ-supplemented iis studied as a generalization of amply supplemented modules, we show that if M is amply µ-supplemented such that every µ-supplement sub module of M
... Show MoreThe aim of this work is to give the new types for diskcyclic criterion. We also introduced the case if there is an equivalent relation between a diskcyclic operator and T that satisfies the diskcyclic criterion. Moreover, we discussed the condition that makes T, which satisfies the diskcyclic criterion, a diskcyclic operator
A gamma T_ pure sub-module also the intersection property for gamma T_pure sub-modules have been studied in this action. Different descriptions and discuss some ownership, as Γ-module Z owns the TΓ_pure intersection property if and only if (J2 ΓK ∩ J^2 ΓF)=J^2 Γ(K ∩ F) for each Γ-ideal J and for all TΓ_pure K, and F in Z Q/P is TΓ_pure sub-module in Z/P, if P in Q.
The main goal of this paper is to introduce and study a new concept named d*-supplemented which can be considered as a generalization of W- supplemented modules and d-hollow module. Also, we introduce a d*-supplement submodule. Many relationships of d*-supplemented modules are studied. Especially, we give characterizations of d*-supplemented modules and relationship between this kind of modules and other kind modules for example every d-hollow (d-local) module is d*-supplemented and by an example we show that the converse is not true.
In this paper, we define the bg**-connected space and study the relation between this space and other kinds of connected spaces .Also we study some types of continuous functions and study the relation among (connected space, b-connected space, bg-connected space and bg**-connected space) under these types of continuous functions.
Let R be associative ring with identity and M is a non- zero unitary left module over R. M is called M- hollow if every maximal submodule of M is small submodule of M. In this paper we study the properties of this kind of modules.
Throughout this work we introduce the notion of Annihilator-closed submodules, and we give some basic properties of this concept. We also introduce a generalization for the Extending modules, namely Annihilator-extending modules. Some fundamental properties are presented as well as we discuss the relation between this concept and some other related concepts.
Abstract
Research title: The legal ruling of advice.
This research deals with the topic of advice, as the research included the following:
Preamble: I explained in it the meaning of advice in the Qur’an and Sunnah, and that what is meant by it is a good performance of the duty, then explaining its importance, importing it, and the difference between advice and what is similar to it, from enjoining good, denial, reproach and reprimand, backbiting and the will.
The first topic: It dealt with the ruling on advice, whether it is recommended or disliked, or forbidden, because what is meant by it is to give advice to others may be an obligation in kind, or it may be desirable or dislike
... Show MoreLet R be a commutative ring with identity, and let M be a unitary R-module. We introduce a concept of almost bounded submodules as follows: A submodule N of an R-module M is called an almost bounded submodule if there exists xÃŽM, xÃN such that annR(N)=annR(x).
In this paper, some properties of almost bounded submodules are given. Also, various basic results about almost bounded submodules are considered.
Moreover, some relations between almost bounded submodules and other types of modules are considered.
