Background: Upright birth positions may reduce the risk for instrumental delivery. The aim of this study was to test, by means of a randomised controlled trial, the hypothesis that the use of a birthing seat during the second stage of labour decreases the number of instrumental deliveries and thus counterbalance any adverse perineal outcome or severe blood loss.Methods: One-thousand and two nullip

How do political parties respond to external shocks? Using an original survey of political parties across Europe conducted in June 2020 and Chapel Hill Expert Survey (CHES) data on partisan ideological positioning, we argue that the pre-existing ideological stances of Europe’s political parties shaped their response to emerging Covid- 19 policy issues, including the tension between economic normal

Det finns inte fler än ungefär femton fräkenväxter i hela världen. Men under karbon- och permtiden för ungefär 300 miljoner år sedan var de mycket vanliga, och mycket större.

Background: The WHO advises against recumbent position for longer periods during labour and birth. It has been suggested that upright posi-tions may improve childbirth outcomes and reduce the need for oxytocin augmentation. However RCTs of interventions to encourage upright positions are scarce. The aims of this study were to assess whether there is a relationship between the use of oxytocin augme

Hur klarar växterna av världens vanligaste metalliska grundämne, nämligen aluminium? Mycket av världens samlade kunskap om hur aluminium påverkar våxter kommer fån tebusken, men både tomtskräppa och mattlummer samlarpå sig aluminiumjoner. Följ med på en biokemisk resa i växternas värld!

The question whether a single extreme climate event, such as a hurricane or heatwave, can be attributed to human induced climate change has become a vibrant field of research and discussion in recent years. Proponents of the most common approach (probabilistic event attribution) argue for using single event attribution for advancing climate policy, not least in the context of loss and damages, whiThe question whether a single extreme climate event, such as a hurricane or heatwave, can be attributed to human induced climate change has become a vibrant field of research and discussion in recent years.

Spontaneous data from Swedish are presented which suggest that ‘creaky voice’ associated with the filler EH ‘UH’ is related to the realization of the speaker attitude ‘uncertainty’ in the sense of ‘indecisiveness’ as regards the optimal way to linguistically code referents and predicates. It is suggested that creaky fillers express a certain degree of speaker indecisiveness as regards the most rel

We have discovered four extremely surprising emission lines of strontiumin ejecta near eta Carinae. Hubble Space Telescope (HST) SpaceTelescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) observations made in 1999 show twonarrow features whose wavelengths correspond to the forbiddentransitions of Sr II, and we have found no other plausibleidentification for these lines. The identifications are confirmed by newHST

Transcription factors such as nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB), activator protein-1 (AP-1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) may play important roles in atherogenesis, by regulating chronic subclinical vascular inflammation. In the first study, we showed that VLDL activates the proinflammatory transcription factor NF-kB in endothelial cells both in vitro and in vivo. Oxidation of V

Det fackliga medlemsras i Sverige som pågick under 2007 och 2008 upphörde år 2009 om man undantar några arbetargrupper i de privata tjänstenäringarna. På arbetsgivarsidan saknar det fackliga medlemsraset helt motsvarighet. Tvärtom kännetecknas arbetsgivarnas organisationsgrad av stabilitet (1995-2012). Detsamma gäller i stort sett även kollektivavtalens täckningsgrad (1995-2012). Mest uppmärksamhe

A dinuclear iron complex, related to the active site of Fe hydrogenases, has been covalently linked to a redox active ruthenium tris-bipyridine type photosensitizer. Photophysics and electrochemistry of this system are studied in solution. IR spectra of this complex together with its precursor, the dinuclear iron complex, were also shown.
