IntroductionEmerging evidence suggests a difference in access to facilities for medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) and delivery among women in different regions of the country. However, we lack assessments at a large scale across all geographies. Our study aims to describe the percent contribution of private and public sectors in institutional deliveries and MTP in India.MethodsA secondary dat

Aggregation of α-synuclein is associated with neurodegeneration and a hallmark pathology in synucleinopathies. These aggregates are thought to function as prion-like particles where the conformation of misfolded α-synuclein determines the traits of the induced pathology, similar to prion diseases. Still, little is known about the molecular targets facilitating the conformation-specific biological

The archipelago region of Southeast Asia is characterised by a great number of calendars of which we treat only a few. The early calendars were essentially original Indian calendars although with modified intercalation schemes. From the fifteenth century in the Christian era the region was increasingly dominated by Islamic influences and successively adopted Muslim calendars alth

BACKGROUND: The current study explores predictors and moderators of pediatric PTSD outcomes for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioral Writing Therapy (CBWT). METHODS: Data were obtained as part of a multi-center randomized controlled trial of up to six sessions (up to 45 minutes each) of either EMDR therapy, CBWT, or wait-list, involving 101 youth (a

According to the Stereotype Content Model (SCM), the content of stereotypes differs on two dimensions: communion and agency. Research shows that for stereotypes about the general gender categories of “women” and “men,” there is an ambivalent pattern of communion and agency, where high levels on one dimension are associated with low levels on the other. For sexual minority stereotypes, a gender inv

Background: A community-based intervention was implemented to improve maternal, child, and adolescent health practices, promote financial literacy and enhance livelihood opportunities for young people in marginalized communities. A hypothesis related to our intervention was that peer-led education sessions on health and nutrition in conjunction with community mobilization would change communities'

Katarzyna Herds bidrag synar hur fotbollssupportrar reagerat på avsaknaden av fysiska fotbollsmatcher under det gångna året. Hennesartikel behandlar hur man upprätthåller engagemang för sitt lag genom crowdfunding-kampanjer och virtuella bortamatchbussar, och ställer sig frågan hur man konsumerar fotboll när man inte kan gå på fotboll.This article is based on the lack of football activities during the global pandemic of 2020 (and unfortunately still in the beginning of 2021), focusing on a Swedish club from Stockholm called AIK (Allmänna Idrotsklubben). This lack of activities presentedin the article happened between April 2020 and March 2021.

Ozonation is an established technique used to reduce the discharge of organic micropollutants into the aquatic environment, but the possibility of predicting the ozone demand for different wastewater matrices is still limited, especially in the presence of suspended solids (SS). A new tool for the prediction of the removal of organic micropollutants with ozone, based on dissolved and particulate m

Objective: There is a paucity of sex-specific data on patients’ postcardiotomy venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). The present study sought to assess this issue in a multicenter study. Design: Retrospective, propensity score–matched analysis of an international registry. Setting: Multicenter study, tertiary university hospitals. Participants: Data on adult patients undergoi

Candida maltosa was cultivated in the liquid phase of residual brewing yeast, a major brewery residue, to produce biomass and biofilm. Using response surface methodology, the effect of two variables at two different levels was investigated. The independent variables were agitation speed (at 100 and 200 rpm), and aeration (at 1 and 3 L min−1). Aeration was identified to be important for the product

We propose a simple theoretical model for how a company with both private and state shareholders decides on its optimal tax policy. The model predicts that even in the absence of state shareholding, a company will not always pick a tax policy that minimizes taxes. Conversely, majority state ownership will generally not result in zero tax avoidance. Using panel regressions on the entire population

Alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) often exhibit more than one mating behavior depending on social context (i.e., behavioral plasticity). It has been hypothesized that by constraining an ART from reaching optimal morphological states, intralocus tactical conflict could promote the maintenance of behavioral plasticity in ARTs, rather than the use of a fixed mating behavior to match an optimal

What images of multispecies life might emerge from the practices of sanctuary-caregiving in a time of anthropogenic extinction and environmental degradation? In this presentation, I will delve into the embodied, situated, and multispecies care practices unfolding within the everyday context of farmed animal sanctuaries. ...

RNA polymerases differ functionally and structurally in the initiation phase of transcription, when polymerization of 8-12 nucleotides occurs, from the later phases of transcription. Here we argue that the ribosome also might have different properties when translating the first codons in open reading frames, as compared with the later phases of translation.

BACKGROUND: Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) is a marker of type 2 airway inflammation used in clinical practice in asthma. However, reference values are needed to broaden the clinical use of FENO and this is within the scope of a newly started Global Lung Function Initiative task force. We aim to study FENO levels with special emphasis on the upper limit of normal (ULN) in relation to the t

Objective Obesity is a well-known risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), but there is little evidence on the effect of long-term trajectories of body mass index (BMI) over the life course. By using repeated assessments, the aim was to study the risk of CHD in adults during 38 years in different trajectories of BMI. Methods A sample of 2129 men and women, aged 20-59 years at baseline, took p
