INTRODUCTION: Iron deficiency (ID) is associated with poor neurodevelopment. We have previously shown that delayed umbilical cord clamping (CC) improves iron stores at 8 months and neurodevelopment at 1 year in term, healthy infants in Nepal.OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of delayed CC (≥180 s) compared to early CC (≤60 s) on neurodevelopment using the Ages and Stages Q

In a recent paper we introduced the chirality-flow formalism, a method for simple and transparent calculations of Feynman diagrams based on the left- and right-chiral sl(2 , C) nature of spacetime. While our previous work focused on massless QED and QCD at tree-level, we here extend the chirality-flow formalism to the full (tree-level) Standard Model, including massive particles and electroweak in

BackgroundDischarge from a neonatal care unit is often experienced as a vulnerable time for parents. By communicating through digital technology, it may be possible to improve the support for parents and thereby make the transition from hospital to home less stressful.AimTo develop an eHealth device supporting the transition from hospital to home for parents with a preterm‐born child in Sweden usi

Accessibility is increasingly recognised as a key purpose of transport policies. Most of the common practices found both in academic studies and policy planning draw on relatively simple accessibility measures taken as ‘objective’ indicators that only focus on the interaction between land use and transport. Relatively little attention has been paid to heterogeneity in individual characteristics an

Extensive durability problems such as weathering and degradation are found in historic Scandinavian brick masonry buildings, especially from the neo-Gothic period. These are largely due to the crystallization of salts and frost action in the bricks and mortars. This article aims to show and illustrate which salts and crystals are found in historic brick masonry buildings and to describe their appe

The monitoring of forest phenology based on observations from near-surface sensors such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), PhenoCams, and Spectral Reflectance Sensors (SRS) over satellite sensors has recently gained significant attention in the field of remote sensing and vegetation phenology. However, exploring different aspects of forest phenology based on observations from these sensors and dr

The study of baryon excitation spectra provides insight into the inner structure of baryons. So far, most of the world-wide efforts have been directed towards N∗ and Δ spectroscopy. Nevertheless, the study of the double and triple strange baryon spectrum provides independent information to the N∗ and Δ spectra. The future antiproton experiment P¯ANDA will provide direct access to final states cont

Background: Haematopoietic stem cells expressing the CD34 surface marker have been posited as a niche for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacilli during latent tuberculosis infection. Our aim was to determine whether M tuberculosis complex DNA is detectable in CD34-positive peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from asymptomatic adults living in a setting with a high tuberculosis

The tumor microenvironment plays an essential role in supporting glioma stemness and radioresistance. Following radiotherapy, recurrent gliomas form in an irradiated microenvironment. Here we report that astrocytes, when pre-irradiated, increase stemness and survival of cocultured glioma cells. Tumor-naïve brains increased reactive astrocytes in response to radiation, and mice subjected to radiati

What is New Welfare Economics (NWE), how does it explain poverty, and what can we learn from this school of thought when it comes to poverty relief? Answering these questions is the aim in this chapter. The chapter opens with a description of the development of NWE and its central tools and concepts, providing a non-technical explanation of the differences between ʼnew’ and ‘old’ welfare economics.

We present 63 new multi-site radial velocity (RV) measurements of the K1III giant HD 76920, which was recently reported to host the most eccentric planet known to orbit an evolved star. We focused our observational efforts on the time around the predicted periastron passage and achieved near-continuous phase coverage of the corresponding RV peak. By combining our RV measurements from four differen

In this paper we show that a Kelly trader is indifferent to trade a derivative if and only if the no-arbitrage price is uniquely given by the minimal martingale measure price, thus providing a natural selection mechanism for option pricing in incomplete markets. We also show that the unique Kelly indifference price results in market equilibrium in the sense that no Kelly trader can improve the mag

”Djuren! Våra moraliska och nationella gränser” (Gränsløs nr 11 2021) har fokus på hur människor, framförallt i Sverige och Danmark, kan förhålla sig till hästar, grisar och oxar, i både nutid och dåtid. Numret är redigerat av Johanna Rivano Eckerdal och Mia Krokstäde. Författarna i numret är verksamma inom filosofi, etologi, etnologi, medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap, sociologi, historia, arkeo
