Q: Get key and values in an object and out put it to be used as parameter I'm using filterify (http://luis-almeida.github.io/filtrify/) plugin to filter some divs. Now what i'm trying to do is get the data attributes from a element and match it with the target div element.
When I enter the values manually it works fine, example, ft.trigger({ type : ["red"] } but when i'm trying to make it dynamic and mix it with variables that's where it fails.
My script look something like this:
$(function(){

    var ft = $.filtrify("boxes");

    $("#filter_nav a").click(function(e) {

        e.preventDefault();

        // coding the values manually works
        // ft.trigger({ type : ["red"] }

        var customData = $(this).data()

        for (var key in customData) {

            ft.trigger({ key : [customData[key]] });
            // should return something like ft.trigger({ type : ["red"] });

        }

    });

});

HTML

Red

Yellow

Blue

Green

I'm suspecting that my setup here is wrong
ft.trigger({ key : [customData[key]] });

more about trigger method:
http://luis-almeida.github.io/filtrify/trigger.html
Can you help me?
Thank You!

A: The argument to the trigger method is a json like the following (the one you mention that manually works):
{ type : ["red"] }

You want to create that json from the data attributes. The json will have a property with name type, the name of the property coming from the data attribute name and the value ["red"] would be an array with a single element coming from the data attribute value.
You were getting the value right, but the property name of the json would always be key instead of type or progress.
You can pass the arguments to trigger in the following way:
for (var key in customData) {
    var triggerOptions = {};
    triggerOptions[key] = [customData[key]];
    ft.trigger(triggerOptions);
}

Basically, you have to create the object first and then create the new properties in the object using the square bracket notation

A: well you say that you expect something like...
should return something like ft.trigger({ type : ["red"] });

but your code returns
ft.trigger({ key : ["red"] })

maybe your key has the wrong name

Metoikové byli svobodní lidé v klasickém období řeckých dějin. Pocházeli z jiných řeckých obcí, ale usazovali se v Athénách. Neměli podíl na politickém životě, ale v době války sloužili ve vojsku. Každý metoikos platil daň z hlavy (metoikion), která však nebyla příliš vysoká. Metoikové se věnovali řemeslné výrobě a obchodu. Někteří dosáhli značného majetku a jejich činnost byla pro athénský stát velmi přínosná.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Reviewed by Andrea Chee on Saturday, May 24th, 2003.
Chow Yun Fat stars as Lee Mu Bai, a highly-skilled martial arts master. When he decides to give his legendary sword, the Green Destiny, to the elder Sir Te (Lung Sihung) it is his friend and fellow warrior Yu Shu Lien (Michelle Yeoh) he asks to carry it there. However, one night after the sword has been delivered to Sir Te, a young masked thief of great skill steals it. A dramatic chase ensues, with Shu Lien trying to catch the thief.
The thief is Jen Yu (Ziyi Zhang), a governor's daughter, who has secretly been taught martial arts by the infamous assassin Jade Fox (Cheng Pei Pei). She is also reluctantly engaged and facing an arranged marriage. She is already in love with another – in the past she had a passionate romance with a desert wanderer (Chang Chen). As it becomes clear that Jade Fox is involved, Mu Bai begins to look into the theft – he has been seeking the mysterious assassin, who was responsible for killing his master. Mu Bai and Shu Lien go in pursuit of Jade Fox and Jen in order to recover the sword and avenge Mu Bai's master.
A worthy film that won four Oscars, 'Crouching Tiger' is at its heart an epic love story wrapped in an action fantasy, all set against the background of historic China. Made with the Western market in mind, the film is very accessible and understandable by Western audiences. The fight sequences, especially the wirework, are wonderfully choreographed and the stunts are superb. The film looks wonderful, full of broad vistas and impressive cities. Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh are experienced martial arts performers who not only demonstrate great skill but also do a great job with the acting. Young actress Ziyi Zhang, however, struggles to make Jen a sympathetic character. The film starts rather slowly and takes a long time to set the scene, but once things start to happen it becomes pacier.
It's Got: Some of the best Chinese-style film martial arts that the West has seen so far.
It Needs: Jen to be a more appealing character.

EIA was delighted to be among 60 recipients recognized in the Ozone Awards 2017 by Parties to the Montreal Protocol for extraordinary commitment and outstanding contributions to fighting climate change.
The awards ceremony in Canada last month was organized by the Ozone Secretariat in collaboration with the Government of Canada to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Montreal Protocol and was attended by Canada's Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Catherine McKenna, as well as other international dignitaries.
EIA was singled out for a Partnership Award in recognition of its unique contributions over several decades. The Secretariat noted: "EIA has been a leading international NGO working to reduce ODS [Ozone-Depleting Substances] and HFCs [hydrofluorocarbons] under the Montreal Protocol. From hard-hitting investigations on illegal ODS trade to successful advocacy to accelerate the HCFC [hydrochlorofluorocarbons] phase-out and adopt a global HFC phase-down, EIA plays a unique and valuable role within the Montreal Protocol family.
All the awards presented were custom-made by Canadian artists; EIA's sculpture was created by sculptor Tracey-Mae Chambers.
After accepting the award from Meelis Münt, Estonia's Deputy Minister of Environment, Climate Campaign Leader Clare Perry said: "EIA has long been in the vanguard of NGOs working on climate change, from our earliest undercover investigations into the smuggling of illegal ozone-depleting substances in the mid-1990s to the sharing of our technical expertise at the highest levels.
The Ozone Awards recognize the achievements of individuals, groups, and organizations that have shown extraordinary commitment and contribution to implementation of the Montreal Protocol in the past 10 years. This year's winners across the eight categories were chosen by an international jury of eight members after pre-screening by a selection committee.


Seven pencil/paper based subject exams.
Subject tests are administered three times throughout the year: October, November, and April.
The test center will allow standby testing with required form and payment if sufficient space, test materials, and staff are available.
Bring valid photo-bearing identification with signature (e.g., driver's license, passport, etc.) and confirmation email.


Longtime Golden State Warriors season ticket holder Tim Healy of Castro Valley got a look at his four seats– "the best seats in the house," he says–during a tour of the Warriors new home currently under construction in San Francisco on Friday, Jan. 4.
Chase Center will feature 100,000 square feet of retail space for 29 stores, a 35,000 square-foot plaza and a 5½-acre bayfront park, as well as the basketball court, of course.
The Warriors expect to tip off the 2019-2020 season in their new home.

Students gain exposure through D.C. internships
Michelle Farabaugh
While college students across the nation search for internships this time of the year, Villanova students have the unique opportunity to seek a semester-long experience through The Washington Center.
TWC is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C. that gives students the chance to participate in a semester of multifaceted events.
According to its Web site, it has served hundreds of universities, both in the United States and abroad, with professional and civic engagement opportunities in the nation's capital since 1975.
Robert Blanchard, assistant dean for College & External Relations in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, noted the organization's outstanding reputation and the University's involvement.
"Villanova has been involved almost from the beginning [of TWC's founding]," he said.
In addition to an internship, the program features an academic course and a leadership forum. Students also have the chance to explore the city of Washington in their free time.
Due to TWC's location, it is of special interest to political science majors.
However, the program is not restricted to any particular track of studies.
The program places students in fields such as nonprofit, business, media, criminal justice and international affairs, according to its Web site.
"Anyone who is interested in learning about [our nation's] capital is welcome to participate," Blanchard said.
Junior Ashley Stanojev is a communication major who spent last semester interning with the Financial Services Roundtable.
"TWC will send out your résumé to places that seem of interest to you based on the program you're enrolled in," she said. "Then, if the companies like your résumé, they will call to set up an interview. It was a great experience to go through the different interview processes of different companies –– especially because you have a say in which internship you participate in."
Junior Peyton Onda, also a communication major, completed phone interviews with all but one of the companies she applied to before choosing Swanson Communications, a small sports-marketing and public relations firm.
With the opportunity to develop her own campaign for an 11-year-old blind boy who competes in martial arts, Onda's experience through TWC was life-changing.
"I learned more about public relations than I could ever learn in a classroom," Onda said. "It really prepared me for professional life. Learning to live independently, make new friends and navigate a completely unfamiliar city was another learning experience in and of itself. I feel like I can tackle whatever is put before me because of the experience that I had."
Another important aspect of the program is its commitment to molding students into leaders dedicated to improving their communities.
TWC offers various lectures that feature industry leaders and requires participants to develop a civic engagement project.
Villanova's dedication to public service meshes well with this component.
In October, the University received an inaugural Higher Education Civic Engagement Award from TWC during the annual Academic Affairs Awards Luncheon.
Cabrini College, Elon University, Tennessee State University and Wartburg College were also recognized for their efforts.
To apply for the award, a report was compiled to display an overview of Villanova's active volunteerism, such as break trips, Balloon Day and the annual Day of Service.
As Villanova's representative on the Liaison Advisory Board, Blanchard attended the gala.
Also in attendance were Rev. Peter Donohue, O.S.A. and five students who interned with TWC in the fall.
The University averts to maintain its ties with TWC.

Mortgage refinancing offers the opportunity to save money if you can get a lower interest rate than you are currently paying. Are you thinking about refinancing your home loan? The Mortgage Refinance Calculator tells you whether you will save money, reduce your payments and save interest and fees. This calculator can help you sort out the confusion and determine whether refinancing your mortgage is a sound financial decision. Any attempt will be made to present accurate results with these calculators, but the results should not be considered final.
Use this calculator to help you determine whether or not you should refinance your existing mortgage at a lower interest or not. This calculator not only calculates the montly payments and the net interest saving, but also how many month it takes until the acquisition cost is balanced.
Type in the main credit of your mortgage: Type the amount of your mortgage each month (Principal & Interest Only only): Specify the interest rates on your mortgage: Specify the interest at which you want to carry out refinancing: Specify the number of years for which you want to carry out refinancing: Specify the acquisition costs: Do you want to pay the closure fees?
Experienced consumer know that re-financing a mortgage at a lower interest rates over a period of times can lead to tens of thousand of dollars worth of saving. Funding, however, is not free of charge and the deal is burdened with many of the same charges and acquisition expenses associated with initial mortgage approvals.
The time it will take to reach break-even in mortgage funding will depend on a number of different determinants. Those grounds are the actual interest rates for home loans, the new prospective interest rates, the closure charges and how long a homeowner is planning to stay put. Buyers should use the Refinance Breakeven Calculator to eliminate the mess and appreciate whether funding a mortgage is a solid finance choice.
This is the overall maturity in years for a given mortgage. It refers to a Refinance Breakeven mortgage calculator. For information on the estimation of the state income taxation see http:/www.taxadmin.org/fta/rate/ind_inc.pdf. This is the percent of a new mortgage amount that is payed to the creditor as a lending charge.
It is the number of points of interest that will be disbursed to a creditor to lower the interest on a mortgage. Every point will cost 1% of a mortgage credit. Refinance Breakeven Mortgage Calculator and is the amount of capital, interest and personal mortgage insurements.
Personal mortgage protection is usually needed when a home is funded at more than 80% of its value and is valued at .9%. Theremonthly PMI is obtained by multipling the initial credit balance by this percentage and subtracting it by 12. This is the amount of the PMI (private mortgage insurance).
The PMI is valued at 0.9% of the mortgage surplus each year for credits backed by less than 20% decline. The monthly PMI is obtained by multipling the initial housing credit balances by this percentage and the division by 12. If a home mortgage credit account balances exceed 22% of the initial sales amount, the PMI payment will drop to zero.
This is the number of monthly interest and mortgage policy cost saving periods exceeding the acquisition cost. This is the number of monthly periods during which the interest and mortgage policy benefits saved after taxes will outweigh the acquisition cost. This is the most cautious break even approach in terms of the refinancing break even calculator. The number of month it will take for the interest and mortgage policy saving after taxes to surpass the acquisition cost and any interest saving from the prepayment of a mortgage.
Advance payment used in this computation is the amount that would have to be paid to cover the cost.

Circle of Dust – "Machines of Our Disgrace"
Posted by John Jackson on January 11, 2017 at 19:07	Add comments
The mere sounds of some albums can transport you back in time and Machines of Our Disgrace from Circle of Dust will take you right back to the industrial metal of the late 1990s and yet still feel as fresh and new as any other album released this year.
As the story goes, Circle of Dust was formed out of the ashes of the thrash metal band Immortal by Klayton with the self-titled debut album coming out in 1992 and launching what has become an iconic career in industrial rock/metal and spawned other well-known projects such as Argyle Park and Celldweller. For over 20 years the rights to the original Circle of Dust and Argyle Park albums were not available to Klayton, who finally secured the rights in 2015. As Klayton began planning for the remastering and re-release of the original albums, ideas for a new Circle of Dust album began to flow and the result of that is Machines of Our Disgrace. The entire catalog including albums Circle of Dust, Brainchild, Metamorphosis, Argyle Park, and Disengage have been remixed/remastered with bonus material added and are available now.
The album opens much as one would expect from an industrial metal project with lots of programmed keyboards and drums joined later by some synthesized vocals and other sound effects and samples as the song veers right into "Machines of Our Disgrace" and it's heavy driving guitar riff opening. Throughout the album, guitars carry much of the workload in the songs, which does distinguish this project from one of Klayton's other projects Celldweller. To be honest, the pounding rhythm and drums in "Machines of Our Disgrace" reminds me a lot of early 90's Ministry and other industrial acts of the time.
"Contagion" takes a bit of different tact for opening, relying on almost a Megadeth-like guitar harmony that shortly settles into a driving riff similar to "Machines of Our Disgrace". Vocals in the verses are largely spoken over keyboard backing with the guitars providing accent and ensuring the metal feel stays within the song. As expected, there is a good bit of sampling and computer altered voices throughout the album.
As if to drive home the point that Celldweller is a bit different in approach, "Embracing Entropy" features Celldweller, and true to form is more heavily focused on keyboards than driving guitars. Despite this change, the song still has that characteristic industrial, electronic feel. As if to show how heavy a song can be, "Humanarchy" follows and with the guitars coming back and teaming up with machine gun like drums, contrasts nicely with the smoothness of "Embracing Entropy".
The short instrumental "Signal" provides a breather before "alt_Human" comes in. And while alt-Human" eventually does go toward the heaviness of Ministry, the early parts of the song remind me a lot of what one can hear in some Linkin Park, particularly the early material. This influence is perhaps even more apparent in "Outside In" as the song itself is not quite as heavy. While Circle of Dust is certainly heavier and different than Linkin Park, I can hear the influence of bands like Circle of Dust on the sound of bands like Linkin Park. In that sense, this is somewhat like taking a step back in time.
Sonically, the album has everything one would want from an industrial album of a band at its peak during the glory days of industrial music. Production is crystal clear and as one would expect, mixing is perfect. There are a lot of sounds blended into these mixes in addition to the vocals and instruments and everything works.
For fans of industrial music, it has been a long time waiting for a new Circle of Dust album and with the release of Machines of Our Disgrace, Klayton has delivered exactly what was needed.

Tim was a great host for the 3 hour walking tour. Loads of facts and stories which were fun and great even for those who have lived or worked in London for years. Then we were on our own with tickets for the cable car (not sure why but we only had single tickets which meant queuing to buy returns in the rain). Then the walk across the dome. Thankfully it had stopped raining and the views were brilliant and well briefed. Matt was fab and the experience is all well planned. A lovely day - thank you

Some causes of system dissonance in during this phase include: External Third party software being unreliable Scope creep Internal Bad or not clearly defined processes or procedures Poor or lack of training Also, pinpointed within the feedback loop are the contingency points to achieve client's need satisfaction, which encompasses dependable quality driven web services for their use. Some easily identified b oundaries which could hinder the progression of a project and attaining a client's need satisfaction are: 1. bad/lack of information from customer (or client) 2. improper resource allocation (over or under) 3. front/back end software and personnel communication The selective requirements of a system constitute its boundary. The process that the boundary goes through for selecting only those relevant inputs from the universe of potential inputs is called selectivity. In order to achieve a desirable deliverable the IT department must work in tandem with the client. Therefore, the ability to efficiently and effectively communicate with a client PSI's IT department must be extremely selective of which teammates are assigned to the variety of projects that may come across their project desk. They also, must be selective of the types of deliverables expected by a client, so as to not disproportionately expend their resources. If these boundaries are addressed prior to project initiation then (and only then) can PSI's IT department progress to an ideal situation, because their projects would have minimal lag time by being well staffed for the current conditions.

Prime example, the Finance department recently was unable to process invoices for the remainder of the departments, due to a system and software upgrade they performed without consulting auxiliary departments for the best advice. PSI's systems constantly work in a state of a daptation as customer requests may require the Information Technology department to provide Training or Research and Development (R&D) for soon to be implemented services. An example of a time of adaptation, would be when a client needed Program Support, Inc. to implement a cloud based service for their database, but also needed a personnel training to familiarize themselves with the new service. Website design typically requires using some type of interface between a database or software and a computer or mobile device in order to make it easier for people to enter information and utilize data in various applications. Next Steps Upon conclusion of this System Analysis it is evident that there are areas of contention and entropy within Program Support, Inc., however the ideal situation is attainable, if the entire suprasystem, system, and subsystems are willing to take the time and room to prepare for the necessary changes that will require adoption and adaptation to current processes. There will be resistance from some, but the goal of this exercise is to move Program Support, Inc.'s Information Technology department from status quo to an ideal set forth by upper management, in order to continue operating toward their vision of excellence.


Eleven days. Imagine eleven days. That is the time that went without us going on shore anywhere. And that was nothing unusual!
We had visited McMurdo Base on February 28 and reached the Argentine Islands, just off the Antarctic Peninsula, on March 11. Counting the 28th twice because of the date line. And we have not been able to set foot on the Ross Ice Shelf or Peter I Island. Not due to a lack of good will – we were more than motivated to go, or rather, to fly to these places! But these extreme places are hard to reach. Landings there will only be possible on really good days, and those are the exception rather than the rule. So left the ship only once during the crossing, for the nice zodiac cruise in the ice (see last blog entry.). So considering the likelyhood of actually landing on the Ross Ice Shelf of Peter I Island, 11 full days at sea is pretty much simply what you have to expect and not at all a surprise. You have to know that before you come on such a trip! Knowledge that is, by the way, also available from the published itinerary, with a slightly different wording.
Why am I emphasizing so much on this? Because it is hard to imagine what it means to be at sea for 11 days. Some are perfectly happy with that, they will always find something to keep themselves busy with, they enjoy watching the waves, the horizon or the fog, the occasional iceberg, waiting for the back of a whale to break through the waves for a short moment. Reading, lectures, meeting all the people on the ship. Others do not enjoy it so much, and for them, these days can be quite long. It is easy to escape into the idea that the crossing will be done in 3 or 4 days, with more or less regular landings. Somewhere. No land anywhere near? So what! Who cares?
But then you are getting beyond day 5, 6, 7 … the icy coast of western Antarctica will never come in sight, it is as far as the moon. Of course it would be exiting to go there, to see it, even to make a landing, but you would need time and good charts. Time is limited, and good charts do not exist. Well, and once days 3 and 4 have gone by and we have just made a third of the distance, and that is just because there is no ice on our course or seriously bad weather to slow us down. Something that you can not take for granted in these latitudes.
The "antarctic Odyssey", that is how I think of this voyage, bears this title with pride. It is, over long stretches, a very pelagic expedition.
So, let's enjoy the icebergs, the weather, the sea and Victoria's great history lectures and all the other ones that this time has to offer – and that is quite a lot! Let's enjoy the rather surreal feeling when the fog makes our little world here shrink to a bubble for days, in the middle of this endless ocean. Two thousand miles. With the speed of a very relaxed bicyclist.


I made a landing page for a hiring add. I decided to run a test in Optimizely and the variation I made for the landing page did pretty good. As the results of the variation satisfied me and my team, i would like to stop the experiment, and keep this variation as our default landing page.
Also, it would be great to have access to the html and css code, in order to use it in a future hiring ad landing page.
To get the code used in a variation, open the variation editor and click "Edit Code" in the bottom-right corner. You will see the jQuery code used in the variation. Your development team should be able to implement this code onto your page.

Férfimeddőségről abban az esetben beszélünk, ha egy férfi egy termékeny nőt nem tud teherbe ejteni. Azon párok esetében, akiknél elmarad a terhesség, 40-50%-ban a férfi a meddőség oka. A férfimeddőség hátterében általában a spermium valamely hiányossága áll, mivel a férfitermékenység legjobb mérőszáma a spermiumok minősége.

A csökkent megtermékenyítő képesség és a férfi meddőség növekvő problémája direkt kapcsolatot mutat a spermakép romlásával. Csak az utóbbi 30 évben a magyar férfiak spermaszáma a milliliterenkénti 73 millióról, 31 millióra esett vissza, csökkent az egy ejakulátumra eső sperma mennyiség és sok esetben a spermiumok mozgékonysága sem éri el a megtermékenyítéshez minimálisan szükséges értéket.

Okok
A férfimeddőséggel kapcsolatos tényezők:

A kóros spermakép és a férfi meddőség hátterében legalább 50%-ban nem ökológiai vagy genetikai okok állnak, hanem a megváltozott életmód. A fokozódó oxidatív stressz mellett az átalakult étkezési szokások, a csökkenő ételminőség következtében fellépő mikrotápanyag, antioxidáns és vitamin hiánya közvetlen kapcsolatba hozható a megtermékenyítő képesség csökkenésével.

A férfi meddőségnek többnyire nincs semmilyen szembetűnő jele, normális a magömlés és a szexuális együttlét is. Épp ezért 35 éves kor alatt a férfi meddőség kérdésével csak akkor kell foglalkoznunk, ha egy év alatt rendszeres, fogamzásgátlástól mentes szexuális élet mellett sem következik be terhesség. Annak a valószínűsége, hogy a gyermeknemzés sikeres legyen, a kor előrehaladtával természetesen csökken. A férfi meddőség, 35 éves kor felett már minden 5 párból 1-et érinthet a statisztikák szerint, ezért fél év sikertelenség esetén is javallott a megkezdeni a kivizsgálást.
A dohányzás akár 15%-kal is csökkenhet a spermakép minőségét, ráadásul a spermiumok nehezebben találnak el a petesejthez.

Here előtti tényezők
A here előtti tényezők körébe tartoznak azok a körülmények, melyek meggátolják a herék egészséges működését, beleértve a nem megfelelő hormonális támogatást és a általános egészség megromlását:

különféle okok miatt létrejött hypogonadismus
 drogok, alkohol, dohányzás
 a csökkenő ételminőség következtében fellépő mikrotápanyagok, antioxidánsok és vitaminok hiánya miatt felborult vitaminháztartás
megerőltető ülő sportok (kerékpározás, lovaglás)
kezelések, beleértve azokat, melyek befolyásolják a sperma-képződést, (ilyenek például a kemoterápia, anabolikus szteroidok, cimetidin, spironolakton), csökkentik az FSH szintjét (mint például a phenytoin); vagy csökkentik a spermiumok mozgékonyságát (szulfaszalazin nitrofurantoin)
genetikai rendellenességek, mint például a Robertson transzlokáció

Herékkel kapcsolatos tényezők
A herékkel kapcsolatos tényezők arra utalnak, amikor a herék - megfelelő hormonális háttér mellett - nem megfelelő minőségű, vagy mennyiségű spermiumot termelnek:

életkor
az Y-kromoszóma genetikai deformációja
az Y-kromoszóma mikrodeléciói
hibás kromoszóma-sor
 Klinefelter-szindróma
 neoplasma, mint például a seminoma
 idiopathiás problémák
 rejtettheréjűség
 here-visszértágulat (varicocele)
fizikális behatás, trauma
 herevízsérv (hydrocele)
 mumpsz
 malária
 hererák
a megtermékenyítést befolyásoló akroszomális hibák

Here utáni tényezők
A here utáni tényezők csökkentik a férfiak nemzőképességét, mivel a spermaképződés után vannak hatással a nemzőszervekre, vagy az ejakulációnál okoznak problémát:

 ondóvezeték szűkület
 gyulladás, mint például a prostatitis
hólyag felé történő ejakuláció
 húgycsőhasadék (hypospadiasis)
 impotencia

Spermaürülési zavarok miatti férfi meddőség
A férfi meddőség 15%-át valamilyen ondóúti elzáródás okozza, ami miatt a spermiumok nem ürülnek megfelelően.

Férfi meddőség a spermium ellenes antitestek miatt
A csökkent megtermékenyítő képesség és férfi meddőség 6%-a vezethető vissza erre az okra, amikor az antitestek miatt csökken a spermiumok mozgása és megtermékenyítő képessége.

Hormonális zavarok és a férfi meddőség
A csökkent megtermékenyítő képesség és a férfi meddőség ezen esetében az agyban található agyalapi mirigy nem küld megfelelő "információt" a heréknek a spermiumok termelődéséhez. A hormonális okok miatti férfi meddőség nagyon ritka, 100 meddő férfiból mindössze egy érintett.

Szexuális problémák miatti férfi meddőség
A nem megfelelő merevedés vagy magömlés miatti csökkent megtermékenyítő képesség, vagy a férfi meddőség általában 100 meddő férfiból mindössze egyet érint.

Ismeretlen okú férfi meddőség
10 meddő férfiból 4 esetben nem lehet pontos okot találni a férfi meddőség hátterében. A tudomány mai állása szerint nem ismeretes a spermium termelődés és a férfi meddőség minden lépése.

Diagnózis
A diagnózis kórtörténettel és fizikális vizsgálatokkal kezdődik, melyet akár a háziorvos, de leginkább egy férfimeddőségre szakosodott orvos (andrológus) végez el. Általában két különböző ondóvizsgálat szükséges. Az orvos előírhat vérvizsgálatot is, melyek a hormonproblémákat, az általános egészségi állapotot és az esetleges genetikai tényezőket hivatottak feltárni.

Kórtörténet
A férfimeddőség értékesének sarokköve a kórtörténet. Meg kell vizsgálni, hogy mióta áll fönn meddőség, a jelenlegi és a korábbi partnerek esetleges terhességeit, illetve, hogy volt-e az illetőnek bármikor is problémája a közösüléssel.

A kórtörténetnek ki kell térnie a here és a pénisz sérüléseire (fizikális behatás, trauma, rejtettheréjűség), a gyulladásokra (mumpsz, heregyulladás, mellékheregyulladás), a környezeti tényezőkre (túlzott hőhatás, radioaktivitás), a gyógyszerekre és a droghasználatra (anabolikus szteroidok, alkohol, dohányzás).

A szexuális szokások, a közösülések gyakorisága és időtartama, az óvszerhasználat és a korábbi partnerek termékenységi adatai mind jelentőséggel bírnak.

A libidó csökkenése, a fejfájások és a látászavarok egy esetleges agydaganat jelei lehetnek.

A régebbi orvosi vagy sebészeti beavatkozások feltárhatnak pajzsmiriggyel, illetve májjal kapcsolatos problémákat, cukorbetegséggel kapcsolatos idegrendszeri betegségeket (hólyag felé történő ejakuláció), radikális kismedencei vagy retroperitonealis műtéteket (elmaradó magömlés), vagy köldöksérvet (mely a herék csökkent vérellátását okozhatja).

A család kórtörténete feltárhat esetleges genetikai jellegű hibákat.

Fizikális vizsgálatok
A meddő férfiak vizsgálatánál fontos, hogy megállapítsuk azokat az általános egészségügyi problémákat, amelyek összefüggésbe hozhatók a meddőséggel. Például meg kell állapítani, hogy kifejlődtek-e a férfiakra jellemző nemi jelleg jelei; a csökkent testszőrzet vagy mellnagyobbodás (gynecomastia) androgén-hiányra utalhat.

Általában a beteg teljesen levetkőzik és az orvos alaposan megvizsgálja a péniszt, a herezacskót, a heréket, a végbélnyílást és a végbelet.

A herezacskókat óvatosan kell megvizsgálni, miközben a beteg áll. Mivel a vizsgálatok fizikálisan és lelkileg is kellemetlenek lehetnek a férfiaknak, ezért olyan gyorsnak és hatékonynak kell lenniük, amennyire ez lehetséges.

A herék környékét is ki kell vizsgálni. A mellékherék a herék mögött oldalt helyezkednek el, lehetnek nyomásérzékenyek, vagy tartalmazhatnak cisztákat.

Ondóvizsgálat

Ondóvizsgálatkor a minta mennyiségét, a spermiumok hozzávetőleges számát, mozgékonyságát és a normál morfológiájú spermiumok százalékos arányát vizsgálják. Ez a legáltalánosabb termékenységi vizsgálat.
Az ondó hiányosságai a következő kifejezésekkel vannak megkülönböztetve:
 Aspermia - az ondó teljes hiánya
 Hypospermia - túl kevés ondó (kevesebb, mint 2 ml)
 Azoospermia - az ondóban nem található spermium
 Necrozoospermia - az ondóban csak élettelen spermiumok találhatóak
 Cryptozoospermia - az ondóban csak elvétve található spermium
 Oligospermia vagy ** Oligozoospermia - kevesebb, mint 20 millió spermium/ml
 Asthenozoospermia - a spermiumok kevesebb, mint 50%-a mozog
 Teratospermia vagy ** Teratozoospermia - a spermiumok alakja több, mint 86%-a abnormális (morfológiailag deformált)

Ezek többféle kombinációja is előfordulhat (mint például Teratoasthenozoospermia, ami együttesen jelenti a spermiumok csökkent morfológiáját és mozgékonyságát).
Az alacsony spermiumszám gyakran együtt jár a spermiumok mozgékonyságának elvesztésével és növeli a rendellenes morfológia esélyét, így az "oligoasthenoteratozoospermia" és az "oligospermia" kifejezések használhatók egymás szinonimáiként.

Vérvizsgálat
Az általános hormonvizsgálat mellett el kell végezni az FSH- és a tesztoszteron-szint mérését is. Egy vérvizsgálatból kiderülhetnek egyéb genetikai eredetű meddőségi problémák is, mint például a Klinefelter-szindróma, az Y-kromoszóma mikrodeléció, vagy a cisztás fibrózis.

Megelőzés
A következő stratégiák javasoltak a férfimeddőség megelőzésére:
 a dohányzás mellőzése mivel károsítja a sperma DNS-ét
 minimális alkohol fogyasztás
 a herék túlzott hőtől való óvása
 a spermiumok száma csökken a napi gyakoriságú közösülés miatt, viszont a túl ritka közösülés (10-14 napnál ritkábban) a spermiumok mozgékonyságára van negatív hatással
 az olyan sportok esetében, mint a baseball, labdarúgás, krikett, jégkorong, softball, paintball, rodeo, motokrossz, birkózás, az összes küzdősport, illetve minden olyan sportnál, melyben labda, kar, láb, könyök, vagy ütő érintkezhet az ágyékkal, érdemes védőeszközt, vagy szuszpenzort viselni a herék megóvása érdekében
 a spermiumok egészséges kifejlődéséhez nélkülözhetetlen a megfelelő mennyiségű antioxidáns és mikrotápanyag tartalmú étrend kialakítása, melyek klinikailag igazoltan fokozzák a férfi megtermékenyítő képességet és az ondó mennyiséget

Kezelések
A meddőségi kezelések aszerint változnak, hogy a férfinél milyen típusú a meddőséget állapítottak meg, illetve, mekkora százalékban vesztette el nemzőképességét. Továbbá fontos azt is figyelembe venni, hogy partnere mennyire termékeny.

Pre-testicular feltételeket gyakran lehet gyógyszeres eszközökkel és beavatkozásokkal kezelni.

A spermaképződés, (spermatogenezis) folyamata, amelynek során a herékben kialakulnak a spermiumok, hozzávetőleg három hónapig tart: 72 napon át fejlődnek, majd további 30 napon át érnek. Ez azt is jelent, hogy amennyiben a spermaképződés során probléma adódik, akkor legalább ennyi időt kell várni, hogy a sperma minőség és sperma mennyiség növelésére irányuló kezelés, változtatás meghozza a hatását. Következésképp, legalább 3 hónappal a tervezett megtermékenyítési kísérlet előtt érdemes tudatosan változtatni életvitelen, helytelen étkezési szokásokon és ajánlott a megfelelő mikrotápanyagok, antioxidánsok bevitele a sperma mennyiség növelése céljából.
A vitaminháztartás feltöltése, a sperma növelés leghétköznapibb megoldása, mely klinikailag igazoltan, esettanulmányokkal alátámasztva alkalmas az oxidatív stressz és a helytelen tápanyagbevitel miatt fellépő férfi meddőség kezelésére.

Amikor a herék kapcsán merülnek fel problémák, a hagyományos gyógyszeres megközelítés nem működőképes. A szokásos megközelítések magukba foglalják a spermák felhasználását inszeminációhoz (IUI), in vitro fertilizációhoz (IVF), illetve intracitoplazmatikus spermium injekcióhoz (ICSI). IVF-ICSI esetén még kevés spermiumszám mellett is elérhető a terhesség.

Hereelzáródási problémák esetén szóba kerülhet sebészeti beavatkozás is, vagy IVF-ICSI. Ejakulációs tényezők esetén pedig akár gyógyszeres kezelés, akár IUI, vagy IVF a megoldás.

A clomiphene citrate, mely egy női meddőség kezelésében használatos gyógyszer, használati utasítástól eltérő alkalmazása ellenjavallt. Az E-vitamin segít a stressz ellen, mely DNS-károsodást okozhat a spermiumokban és csökkenti a spermiumok mozgékonyságát. Egy hormon-antioxidáns kombináció megnövelheti a spermiumok számát és mozgékonyságát.

This post is a part of an ongoing series comparing the performance of Cloudflare Workers with other Serverless providers. In our past tests we intentionally chose a workload which imposes virtually no CPU load (returning the current time). For these tests, let's look at something which pushes hardware to the limit: cryptography.
The PBKDF2 algorithm is designed to be slow to compute. It's used to hash passwords; its slowness makes it harder for a password cracker to do their job. Its extreme CPU usage also makes it a good benchmark for the CPU performance of a service like Lambda or Cloudflare Workers.
We've written a test based on the Node Crypto (Lambda) and the WebCrypto (Workers) APIs. Our Lambda is deployed to with the default 128MB of memory behind an API Gateway in us-east-1, our Worker is, as always, deployed around the world. I also have our function running in a Lambda@Edge deployment to compare that performance as well. Again, we're using Catchpoint to test from hundreds of locations around the world.
In general our supposition is a 128MB Lambda is buying you 1/8th of a CPU core. This scales up as you elect to purchase Lambda's with more memory, until it hits the performance of one of their cores (minus hypervisor overhead) at which point it levels off.
One response we saw to our last post was that Lambda supports running native binaries and that's where its real performance will be exhibited.
This is charting two Lambdas, one with 128MB of memory, the other 1024MB. The tests are all from Washington, DC (near both of our Lambdas) to eliminate the advantage of our Worker's global presence. The 128MB instance has 1745ms of 95% percentile wait time.
When we exclude the competitors from our analysis we are able to use the same techniques to examine the performance of the Workers platform itself and uncover more than a few opportunities for improvement and optimization. That's what we're focused on: making Workers even faster, more powerful, and easier to use.
As you might imagine given these results, the Workers team is growing. If you'd like to work on this or other audacious projects at Cloudflare, reach out.
