Being born in a hospital versus having a traditional birth attendant at home represents the most common early life policy change worldwide. By applying a difference-in-differences approach to register-based individual-level data on the total population, this paper explores the long-term economic effects of the opening of new maternity wards as an early life quasi-experiment. It first finds that th
Solutions for propagating mode III cracks in elastic perfectly-plastic solids are obtained as the limit solutions for infinitesimal crack tip speed and infinitesimal linear strain-hardening. The solution for a perfectly plastic material by Chitaley and McClintock (1971, J. Mech. Phys. Solids 19, 147) is not obtained. A point above or below the crack plane will experience first a centred-fan slip l
Ethics is the study of the normative dimensions of human relations and experiences. This chapter discusses such questions in relation to basic values in modern society. The normative foundations for the analysis are the values of human dignity, autonomy, freedom, equality, and solidarity, as well as the responsibilities of society toward its citizens, including freedom, security, and justice. The
Mellan åren 1955 och 1957 utförde Märta Strömberg (sedermera professor i arkeologi) och Rolf Petré (som senare blev fil. lic. i arkeologi) arkeologiska undersökningar av Vätterydsgravfältet i norra Mellby socken (L1990:1893 / Norra Mellby 1:1) ...
Cuttings of text and image come together to form Sara Leydon’s Baroness de Lancinena (1990) and Alice Kyteler (1990). Each a reference to a woman either identified or accused of practicing witchcraft, these two collages are part of a series first shown in a 1990 solo exhibition titled Conviction at Artspeak. Their history in this city is considerable, living long-term in the collection of Christos
A conceptual design of a year 2035 turbofan is developed and integrated onto a year 2035 aircraft model. The mission performance is evaluated for CO2, noise and NOx and is compared with a notional XWB/A350-model. An OGV heat exchanger is then studied rejecting heat from an electric generator, and its top-level performance is evaluated. The fan, the booster and the low-pressure turbine of the propu
Climate City Contracts or CCCs are being developed in the context of a larger mission, with many stakeholders, funding, and growing momentum, hopefully providing a new force, legitimacy, and inspiration to ongoing urban climate actions. CCCs differ from current strategies for tackling climate change in cities because they are being developed in the context of the mission approach to tackle some of
Concerns over the earth’s ability to sustain itself over the long term as a consequence of human consumption of natural resources points towards sustainable development. Since a large proportion of human consumption is linked to buildings and construction, this means managing the construction process in more sustainable ways. Strategies that target greater material efficiency and which promote cir
Cosmology presents students with ideas that stimulate their curiosity and brings together various concepts from STEM that call on a variety of reasoning types across multiple representational modes, involving subtleties of spacetime relations, a variety of models and evidence requiring multiple lines of high precision observations. This study investigated high school students’ levels and types of
Sweden passed legislation to achieve a target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by the end of 2045. The Energy Performance of Building Directive further obliged European countries to ensure zero-energy building codes and improve the quality of indoor environments when buildings are renovated, as approximately 40% of total greenhouse gas emissions in Sweden are produced while heating buildings.
Background: Pragmatics is the functional use of language in ever-changing social contexts. One early pragmatic ability is decontextualized language;to talk about events and things beyond here and now. Pragmatic difficulties are practically universal in ASD, but we don’t know about impairmentsin early pragmatic development. Further, the roles of early socio-communication and linguistic abilities in
Emergency responders at the local community level are the prime actors concerning emergency management. It has been claimed that information systems have considerable potential to support emergency management. However, development of such systems is demanding, due to the complexity of emergency management. The ability to be able to reveal the stakeholders' needs for support are essential for succe
Rationale: Early detection, standardized therapy, adequate infrastructure, and strategies for quality improvement should constitute essential components of every hospital’s sepsis plan. Objectives: To investigate the extent to which recommendations from the sepsis guidelines are implemented and the availability of infrastructure for the care of patients with sepsis in acute-care hospitals. Methods
This reflection explores the anxiety and physical sensations felt by some scholars when navigating interdisciplinary research. The author describes personally experienced physical and emotional challenges faced during collaborative research, emphasizing the lack of common language and knowledge, and arguing for greater acknowledgment of these embodied experiences. The aim is to foster more honest
