‘Like a torch that enlightens new parents along a narrow and winding path into parenthood’ – Midwives' experiences by an interview study

Background: The core of postnatal care is that midwives recognise the needs of women and new-born babies and provide the highest possible quality of care and medical safety to optimise the health and well-being of new families. The study aimed to describe midwives' experiences in providing postnatal care for families during the first week after the birth of their baby. Methods: An interview study

Empowering Sustainable Manufacturing: Unleashing Digital Innovation in Spool Fabrication Industries

In industrial landscapes, spool fabrication industries play a crucial role in the successful completion of numerous industrial projects by providing prefabricated modules. However, the implementation of digitalized sustainable practices in spool fabrication industries is progressing slowly and is still in its embryonic stage due to several challenges. To implement digitalized sustainable manufactu

Atrial Fibrillation and Clonal Hematopoiesis in TET2 and ASXL1

Importance: Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) may contribute to the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) through its association with inflammation and cardiac remodeling. Objective: To determine whether CHIP was associated with AF, inflammatory and cardiac biomarkers, and cardiac structural changes. Design, Setting, and Participants: This was a population-based, prospective cohort

Defensores ambientales trabajan para mantener el papel pacificador de la naturaleza en el Norte de Uganda : Hay tres maneras en que se puede pensar la naturaleza para iniciar procesos sostenibles de paz y desarrollo

En los últimos años, ha habido una “ofensiva” contra defensores ambientalistas en Uganda. Periodistas, estudiantes, campesinos y habitantes rurales están defendiendo su medioambiente, protestan y se movilizan contra el trato injusto y la migración forzada provocada por las infraestructuras para el combustible fósil, la agroindustria, energía hidráulica o la compensación de las emisiones de carbono

Explorations of interlinked energy and redox metabolism in two industrially applied microorganisms

Anaerobic fermentation, compared to aerobic processes, remains the most scalable method for bioproduction of compounds. This is due to that aerobic microbial processes require large amounts of energy and are unable to satisfy the oxygen demand of a high-density microbial biomass. Thus, anaerobic microbes are readily scalable to large volumes. It was found that most anaerobic microbes have evolved

A harmonized database of European forest simulations under climate change

Process-based forest models combine biological, physical, and chemical process understanding to simulate forest dynamics as an emergent property of the system. As such, they are valuable tools to investigate the effects of climate change on forest ecosystems. Specifically, they allow testing of hypotheses regarding long-term ecosystem dynamics and provide means to assess the impacts of climate sce

High-Quality Solution-Processed Quasi-2D Perovskite for Low-Threshold Lasers

Spin-coated quasi-two-dimensional halide perovskite films, which exhibit superior optoelectronic properties and environmental stability, have recently been extensively studied for lasers. Crystallinity is of great importance for the laser performance. Although some parameters related to the spin-coating process have been studied, the in-depth understanding and effective control of the acceleration

Pain Relieving Light - (How) Is it Possible?

About 15% of the population suffer from migraines and it is estimated that about 40% of all people with migraines would benefit from preventive treatment, but only 3-13% use it. Migraine is a huge burden for society and individuals. Migraines can be intensified by light, and some patients need to stay in a dark room until the attack is over. People with this type of photosensitivity show a clear p

Midwives’ experiences of professional learning when practicing collegial midwifery assistance during the active second stage of labour : data from the oneplus trial

Background: Learning is a lifelong process and the workplace is an essential arena for professional learning. Workplace learning is particularly relevant for midwives as essential knowledge and skills are gained through clinical work. A clinical practice known as ‘Collegial Midwifery Assistance’ (CMA), which involves two midwives being present during the active second stage of labour, was found to

Exploration of anion effects in solvothermal synthesis using in situ X-ray diffraction

Solvothermal synthesis presents a facile and highly flexible approach to chemical processing and it is widely used for preparation of micro- and nanosized inorganic materials. The large number of synthesis parameters in combination with the richness of inorganic chemistry means that it is difficult to predict or design synthesis outcomes, and it is demanding to uncover the effect of different para

Interactions between ectomycorrhizal fungi and the bacterial community in soils amended with various primary minerals

The influence of ectomycorrhizal fungi on the soil bacterial community was studied by growing pine seedlings in artificial soils consisting of a peat/sand mixture amended with microcline, biotite or apatite. In the microcline-amended and unamended soils both Suillus variegatus and Paxillus involutus reduced bacterial activity as measured by thymidine incorporation. S. variegatus grew best in the b

Shame, Blame, and Passion: : Affects of (Un) sustainable Wardrobes

In order to change consumption patterns into something that is more sustainable, it is essential that we consider the various and conflicting meanings clothes have in people's lives. This article presents an analysis of diaries written by consumers of different ages and occupations over a period of three months in 2015. These consumers documented their clothing and shoe purchases, took inventory o

Pollination deficits and their relation with insect pollinator visitation are cultivar-dependent in an entomophilous crop

Insects contribute considerably to global crop pollination, with pollination deficits being documented for multiple entomophilous or pollinator-dependent crops. Different cultivars of crops are being cultivated within and across production regions, so it is essential to understand the cultivar variability of pollination deficits. Here, we used a dataset from 286 sites from multiple production regi

Molecular phylogeny of north European Geometridae (Lepidoptera: Geometroidea)

A comprehensive phylogeny of north European Geometridae is reconstructed using a two-step analytical pipeline. First, a phylogenomic backbone tree was inferred using a 117-species subset of geometrid moths and a 35-species set of outgroup taxa from eight other macroheteroceran families. The data matrix totalled 209,499 bp from 648 protein-coding loci obtained using anchored hybrid enrichment techn

Dual Bethe-Salpeter equation for the multiorbital lattice susceptibility within dynamical mean-field theory

Dynamical mean-field theory describes the impact of strong local correlation effects in many-electron systems. While the single-particle spectral function is directly obtained within the formalism, two-particle susceptibilities can also be obtained by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation. The solution requires handling infinite matrices in Matsubara frequency space. This is commonly treated using a

Truth, humane treatment, and identity: perspectives on the legitimacy of the public and private health sectors during Covid in Zambia

Legitimacy is necessary for resilience and trust helps to legitimize health systems. Providing services during Covid has relied on both the private and public sectors but there is little information on differences in trust between these sectors during shocks like Covid and how it may impact the health system’s legitimacy. The purpose of this study was to explore community trust in the public and p

Study of the 7Be(d,3He)6Li* reaction at 5 MeV/u

The measurement of the 7Be(d,3He)6Li* transfer cross section at 5 MeV/u is carried out. The population of the 2.186 MeV excited state of 6Li in this reaction channel is observed for the first time. The experimental angular distributions have been analyzed in the finite range DWBA and coupled-channel frameworks. The effect of the 7Be(d,3He)6Li reaction on both the 6Li and 7Li abundances are investi

How dare we? The relation between language use, global identity, and climate activism

Identifying with and caring for people all over the world (i.e., a global identity) is positively related to pro-environmental behaviour. However, less is known how to foster such a global identity. Drawing on social identity theory, we investigated whether using inclusive (vs. exclusive) language in the context of demonstrations for climate protection increases people’s global identity. Moreover,

Asymmetry in the atmosphere of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-76 b***

Context. WASP-76 b has been a recurrent subject of study since the detection of a signature in high-resolution transit spectroscopy data indicating an asymmetry between the two limbs of the planet. The existence of this asymmetric signature has been confirmed by multiple studies, but its physical origin is still under debate. In addition, it contrasts with the absence of asymmetry reported in the
