ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТЬ МЕДИКО-ОРГАНИЗАЦИОННЫХ МЕРОПРИЯТИЙ У ЖЕНЩИН С БЕСПЛОДИЕМ ПРИ НИЗКОМ ОВАРИАЛЬНОМ РЕЗЕРВЕ

The priority direction of the health care system is to increase the birth rate. In the world, as well as in our country, there is an increase in the number of women diagnosed with infertility and having a low ovarian reserve [1]. This is partly due to the improvement in the quality of modern life and delayed pregnancy planning, the shift of childbearing to a late reproductive age. On the other hand, in young women, a low ovarian reserve occurs after ovarian surgery, infectious and inflammatory disease[2]. Clinics are actively implementing new medical and organizational approaches to improve the effectiveness of treatment of this category of women using cycles of assisted reproductive technologies with the accumulation of embryos in order to increase the cumulative incidence of clinical pregnancy, especially for the treatment of couples who do not agree to donor oocytes [3]. This paper analyzes the effectiveness of medical and organizational measures in women with infertility and low ovarian reserve [4,5].Research methods: analytical, statistical. The main group — 50 women (age 37.34 + 0.43 years) who completed cycles of embryo accumulation with genetic diagnostics; comparison group — 55 women (age 37.32 + 0.25 years) who completed cycles of embryo accumulation without genetic diagnosis. Results: the proposed medical and organizational measures can significantly increase the pregnancy rate and are recommended for implementation.

Spatial evolution path of Gulangyu Island historical international community: from the perspective of actor-network theory

Gulangyu Island is a special case of social development and changes since modern China. In the past, Chinese and foreign people lived together and Chinese and Western cultures coexisted, resulting in an international community with outstanding cultural diversity and modern quality of life. As a functional carrier, space is of great reference significance to the research on the spatial evolution path of the Gulangyu international community with the accelerating globalization and rapid expansion of urbanization. Based on the interpretation of historical maps and the integration of historical geographic information, this paper explores the evolution path of Gulangyu community space in modern times from the perspective of actor-network theory. It is found that: (1) The change of key actors promotes the spatial evolution of the Gulangyu international community. (2) In the stage of foreign culture dissemination (1840–1902), foreign nationals, as key actors, promoted the formation and development of actor-networks through administrative recruitment and other means, and promoted Gulangyu Island to change from a traditional Minnan community to a modern community form, with the embryonic form of an international community beginning to emerge. (3) In the stage of multicultural integration (1903–1940), overseas Chinese returning home became key actors. The concept of a combination of Western cultures was not only embodied in community management but also acted on space practice to promote the multicultural integration of the Gulangyu international community. This paper summarizes the effects of various factors on the evolution of community space, to provide a reference for other coastal cities to rationally develop islands and promote the multicultural integration of local communities.

Urban environmental quality and human wellbeing—a social geographical perspective

Concern over the quality of modern life is a characteristic of contemporary society. This paper explains the social geographical approach to research into quality of life and urban environmental quality. A five-dimensional model for quality of life research is presented, and a number of key conceptual and methodological issues examined. Two exemplar case studies are employed to illustrate the application of the five-dimensional social geographical perspective in a real world context. Finally, the potential usefulness of quality of life research is assessed, and several conclusions advanced for future research.

Wapiti Wilderness by Margaret and Olaus Murie

Reviews 227 The editorial hand makes its third and last overt appearance in the bibliography of the writings of Mari Sandoz. It is to be hoped that a definitive bibliography will soon be under way. So far as I know, the recently published The Battle of the Little Big Horn (Lippincott), a forthcoming reminiscence, The Christmas of the Phonograph Records, and the essay introducing the Amos Bad Heart Bull Pictographic History of the Sioux (to be published by the University of Nebraska Press in 1966 and 1967 respectively) will complete the Sandoz canon unless her papers yield additional publishable material. In the letter I mentioned earlier, Miss Sandoz said that she was “not afraid of the evaluation posterity will put upon my nonfiction — good or bad it is unique in its field and those who come after me will have to depend upon it to a very large extent.” She was dead right: like Mari herself, her work is sui generis and we will continue to depend upon it. And while we are waiting for that full-dress critical appraisal, I for one am happy to settle for this single sentence recently written by John K. Hutchens: “Here is a large state­ ment but, I think, a true one: no one in our time wrote better than the late Mari Sandoz did, or with more authority and grace, about as many aspects of the Old West.”7 V ir g in ia F a u l k n e r , University of Nebraska Press Wapiti Wilderness. By Margaret and Olaus Murie. (New York: A. A. Knopf, 1966. 302 pp. $5.95.) Last century, Henry David Thoreau demonstrated that the lover of wilder­ ness, the person deeply attached to natural beauty at its purest and most intense, need not be a loner, a sour misanthrope. In fact, a love of wild nature most often is simply another manifestation of a general love for life — a crea­ tive, all-embracing connection with the world, including people. Hence the essentially social import of Thoreau’s famous benediction, “in wildness is the preservation of the world.” It was this way, too, with John Muir, certainly, who at the turn of the century told his feeling in mystical, deeply felt religious terms. In our own time, perhaps no two people have expressed this rare and great wholeness of spirit, founded on wonder and reverence for life, better than Olaus and Mardy Murie. Wapiti Wilderness, which has been put together by Mrs. Murie since her husband’s death in 1963, reveals some of the sources of the magnanimity and serenity of the Murie outlook, and proves, if proof is needed, that a solid connection with wild nature, a real, felt knowledge of it, naturally leads to 7Book-of-the-Month Club News, July, 1966, p. 11. 228 Western American Literature a wide social concern as well. As the Mûries move through the book, beginning with “something new and exciting, a challenging adventure” (the assignment in 1927 to study the life history of the elk herd of Jackson Hole), and leading through many beautifully described wilderness experiences to the closing re­ flections on the quality of modern life in Jackson Hole, there is always a two­ fold emphasis. The sights and sounds and smells of wilderness are ever there — I doubt that anyone, for example, has written more truly of the wilderness night than Olaus Murie in “Voices of the Moonlight” — but people play an important role in this book also. “I hope it will be a long long time before man can spoil it all,” says Mrs. Murie, and in this quiet indictment of man-ingeneral , seen in his bureaucratic or simply careless manifestations like slickly modem Visitor Centers and high speed roads through inspiring country, there is justice. But the Mûries certainly don’t forget man in particular. The por­ traits of Beaver Dick Leigh, who is allowed to speak for himself here through his poignant diary, and of a rancher-poet friend of Olaus’, are drawn with care and fairness and sympathy. These are people who loved wild country and who tried, usually haltingly but always genuinely, to express that feeling. They...
