Objective: To explore associations between perinatal activity and survival in infants born at 22 and 23 weeks of gestation in Sweden. Design/Setting: Data on all births at 22 and 23 weeks' gestational age (GA) were prospectively collected in 2004-2007 (T1) or obtained from national registers in 2014-2016 (T2) and 2017-2019 (T3). Infants were assigned perinatal activity scores based on 3 key obstet

The growing season start and duration, along with other temperature-related measures of importance to premium wine grapes in Napa Valley, California have changed as climate over the western United States has warmed. The growing season start has varied from year to year with a standard deviation of about 3 weeks, but over the 1958–2016 record a linear fit to the time sequence shows it advanced by m

In this work, we present the fabrication and analysis of fully-vertical GaN FinFETs with a gate length of 550 nm. The devices with fin widths of around 100 nm reveal normally- OFF behavior and subthreshold swings (SSs) very close to the 60-mV/dec limit. Low hysteresis values indicate low defect densities at the oxide/GaN interface. The devices exhibit low specific ON-resistances at a maximum of ar

The building sector is the largest consumer of energy in industrial countries. Saving energy in new buildings or building renovations can thus lead to significant global environmental impacts. In this endeavor, building information modeling (BIM) and building energy modeling (BEM) are two important tools to make the transition to net-zero energy buildings (NZEB). So far, little attention has been

The ClimApp smartphone application was developed to merge meteorological forecast data with personal information for individualized and improved thermal warning during heat and cold stress and for indoor comfort in buildings. For cold environments, ClimApp predicts the personal thermal stress and strain by the use of the Insulation REQuired model that combines weather and personal physiological da

Exposition about the performance Island/Eyja a piece about what it means to belong; what ties a person to a community or a place and what kind of commitment it requires to be a part of something. The challenges of the island reflect the global challenges of current times. In the performance guests are invited to critically investigate their own ideas on what it means to belong. The guests are invi

A standard approach to neutral value suggests that it can be understood in comparative terms by reference to value relations. I develop some objections to the standard approach based on assumptions about value facts being closely connected to fittingness facts. I then suggest that these objections give us reasons to amend the standard approach with a noncomparative understanding. The claim is that

OBJECTIVES: In the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, delayed umbilical cord clamping (CC) at birth may have been commonly discouraged despite a lack of convincing evidence of mother-to-neonate SARS-CoV-2 transmission. We aimed to systematically review guidelines, reports of practice and to analyze associations between timing of cord clamping and mother-to-neonate SARS-CoV-2 transmission during t
