BackgroundStillbirths are a major public health issue and sensitive marker of the quality care around pregnancy birth. The UN Global Strategy for Women's, Children's Adolescents' Health (2016–30) Every Newborn Action Plan (led by UNICEF WHO) call an end to preventable stillbirths. A first step prevent stillbirths is obtaining standardised measurement stillbirth rates across countries. We estimated their trends 195 countries from 2000 2019 assessed progress over time.MethodsFor systematic...
Background In September 2013, the United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UN IGME) published an update of estimates under-five mortality rate (U5MR) and deaths all countries. Compared to UN IGME in 2012, updated data inputs a new method estimating U5MR were used. Methods We summarize estimation method, which is Bayesian B-spline Bias-reduction model, highlight differences with previously used method. Differences as 2012 those 2013 are presented decomposed into due...
Abstract Objective: The goal of this study was to identify factors that college students perceived as contributing healthy and unhealthy eating patterns, physical activity (PA) levels, weight change. Participants: Forty-nine 18- 22-year-old at a midwestern university participated. Methods: Six focus groups (3 with each gender) were conducted, data analyzed using qualitative software code categorize themes then reduce these clusters according commonly practiced methods analysis. Results:...
The progress to achieve the fourth Millennium Development Goal in reducing mortality rate children younger than 5 years since 1990 has been remarkable. However, work remains be done Sustainable era. Estimates of under-5 rates at national level can hide disparities within countries. We assessed by household economic status low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).
The under-5 mortality rate has declined from 93 deaths per 1000 live births in 1990 to 39 2018. This improvement child survival warrants an examination of age-specific trends and causes death over time across regions extension the focus older children adolescents. We examine patterns for neonates, postneonatal infants, young children, adolescents 2000 2016. Levels under 20 years age are based on United Nations Inter-agency Group Child Mortality Estimation all-cause mortality, Maternal...
Ticks can be transported over large distances and across geographical barriers by avian hosts. During the spring migrations of 2003 to 2005, 9,768 passerine birds from 4 bird observatories along southern coastline Norway were examined for ticks. Altogether, 713 carried a total 517 larvae 1,440 nymphs. The highest prevalence tick infestation was observed in thrushes dunnock (Prunella modularis). degree varied during each season, between localities, year year. Blackbirds (Turdus merula) caught...
From 1990 to 2016, the mortality of children younger than 5 years decreased by more half, and there are plentiful data regarding in this age group through which we can track global progress reducing under-5 rate. By contrast, little is known on how risk among older (5-9 years) young adolescents (10-14 has changed time. We aimed estimate levels trends aged 5-14 195 countries from 2016.In analysis empirical data, expanded United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation...
Jon Pedersen and Jing Liu examine the feasibility potential advantages of using one-year rather than five-year time periods along with calendar year-based estimation when deriving estimates child mortality.
We developed the Humanitarian Emergency Settings Perceived Needs (HESPER) Scale, a valid and reliable scale to rapidly assess perceived needs of populations in humanitarian settings low- middle-income countries.
The presence of migrated petroleum in outcropping rocks on Spitsbergen (Svalbard archipelago) has been known for several decades but the not evaluated by modern geochemical methods. This paper presents detailed organic observations bitumen outcrop samples from central and eastern Spitsbergen. comprise sandstones Lower Cretaceous Carolinefjellet Formation, Upper Triassic – Middle Jurassic Wilhelmøya Subgroup De Geerdalen Formation; a limestone carbonates Agardhfjellet Formation. In addition...
Rock-Eval and total organic carbon (TOC) analyses of 144 samples representing Triassic–Lower Cretaceous intervals from the SW Barents Sea (the Svalis Dome, Nordkapp Hammerfest basins, Bjarmeland Platform) Svalbard demonstrate lateral variations in source rock properties.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the characteristics mortality differences associated with consanguineous marriage among Palestinians in Middle East.The data came from five surveys living West Bank and Gaza, Syria, Jordan Lebanon, conducted during period 1995-2000. Infant child was estimated for offspring non-consanguineous parents using synthetic cohort method.The showed an increase infant 15.0 additional deaths per 1,000 births first cousins, a corresponding 6.1 progeny same...
Petroleum occurring in lower Paleozoic rocks is known to be present southern Scandinavia, northern Poland, and the Baltic states. Oil has been produced from reservoirs Sweden; Poland; countries Lithuania, Latvia, Russian exclave area of Kaliningrad. The sources for this petroleum are marine, organic-rich muds deposited Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian. This article concerns geochemical analysis oils extracted sandstones carbonates Norwegian Oslo Graben rift locations Sweden describes,...
Abstract The Triassic Boreal Ocean was a shallow epicontinental basin and the sink of World's largest delta plain known to date. Nutrient freshwater supply from this have been regarded as important causes for high productivity water mass stratification, forming Middle oil‐prone source rocks. Recent studies attribute upwelling productivity‐induced oxygen minimum zone factors. A multi‐elemental chemostratigraphic study Spathian–Carnian mudstone succession exposed in eastern Svalbard performed...
(Abstracted from Lancet 2021 ;398:772–785) Stillbirths are a public health issue as well an example of the inequality care during pregnancy and birth. Groups such UN Global Strategy for Women's, Children's, Adolescents' Health Every Newborn Action Plan aim to prevent stillbirths.
This paper explores the development of population Gourma in Northern Mali from beginning this century to present. As part Sahel, area has been hard-hit by at least four droughts and is among developed Mali. The data used include available censuses, colonial records recent survey research. 1973 1984 may have increased child mortality, but most important effects short-term reductions fertility, as well migration. While approximately 30 per cent adult men are absent, overall picture migration...
Two oils from the Norwegian North Sea and a source-rock extract Danish are seen to have chemical properties deviating any previously known oils. An organic geochemical investigation concludes that two of low medium maturity, these represent alternative facies Upper Jurassic age. The sourced investigated believed be hypersaline carbonate-type source rocks, which were most likely deposited in locally developed, secluded lagoonal settings with elevated salinity clastic influx. rocks inferred by...
This paper examines the vulnerability of households to disasters, using an asset framework represent livelihoods. Such frameworks are widely employed analyse household poverty and focus on living conditions well‐being rather than money‐metric measures consumption income. The conceptualisation is a challenge in current studies coping with disasters. considers whether capital assets useful identifying assessing context Wenchuan earthquake China 2008. has five categories (financial, human,...
Small area estimation (SAE) entails estimating characteristics of interest for domains, often geographical areas, in which there may be few or no samples available. SAE has a long history and wide variety methods have been suggested, from bewildering range philosophical standpoints. We describe design-based model-based approaches models that are specified at the area-level unit-level, focusing on health applications fully Bayesian spatial models. The use auxiliary information is key...
