Gestational weight gain effect on delivery and neonatal outcomes
No full textKOPSAVILKUMS Virsraksts: Gestācijas svara pieauguma ietekme uz dzemdībām un jaundzimušo Mērķis: Grūtniecība var būt vissvarīgākais fizioloģiskais process dzīves ciklā. Pareiza barošana grūtniecības un pēcdzemdību periodā ir svarīga gan jaundzimušo, gan mātes veselībai. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir analizēt saistību starp grūsnības ķermeņa masas pieauguma rādītājiem dažādās vecuma grupās un novērtēt neonatāla rezultāta ietekmi uz abiem bērniem. Materiāli un metodes: materiāls tika savākts no 2017. gada oktobra līdz 2017. gada decembrim Rīgas Dzemdību nams. Mēs iekļāvām 306 sievietes ar normālu jebkura vecuma un grūtniecības ķermeņa svaru, piemēram, priekšlaicīgu dzemdību laiku, termiņu un pēcnāves laiku, primipara un multipara, izņemot divu dzimšanu un zināmus pirmsdzemdību endokrīnās sistēmas traucējumus. Avārijas C sekcijas un jaundzimušo skaits ar Apgar punktu skaitu pārsniedz 7 punktus, tiek analizēta trīs dažādu svara kategoriju sievietēm (zem ieteiktā svara, ieteicamā masa un virs), tās tālāk iedala 5 dažādās vecuma grupās, kuras analizē atsevišķi . Rezultāti: Lielākā daļa (69%) sieviešu ir ārpus ieteiktā svara parametra, no kuriem lielākā daļa (50%) pārsniedz ieteicamo svaru. Sievietes vecuma grupas visaugstākajā vecuma grupā (> 35 gadus veci) visbiežāk gūst virs rekomendētā ķermeņa masas grūtniecības laikā (79%), savukārt sievietēm 35 gadus vecus), kuri vairāk nekā ieteicamā ķermeņa masa ieguva grupu ar sliktākiem jaundzimušajiem (16%). Secinājumi: Latvijas sievietēm, kuras guvušas lielu gestācijas svaru, ir sliktāki piegādes rezultāti un negatīvi ietekmē jaundzimušo veselību. Jebkāda gestācijas svārstību novirze, kas pārsniedz ieteicamos parametrus, jāuzrauga un jākoriģē.

Proper nutrition in pregnancy and postpartum is important for both neonatal and maternal health. This study aims to analyze the association between rates of gestational weight gain in different age groups and to evaluate the impact on both the delivery a neonatal outcome. Methods: The material was collected between October 2017 and December 2017 in Rīgas Dzemdību Nams. We included 306 Women with a normal BMI of all ages and gestation types such as preterm, term and post term, primipara and multipara excluding twin-birth and a known pre-pregnancy endocrine disorders. The prevalence of emergency C-sections and neonates with an Apgar score bellow 7 points is analyzed in women of three different weight categories (below the recommended weight, recommended weight and above), they are further divided into 5 different age groups which are analyzed individually. Results: The majority (69%) of Women is outside the recommended weight parameter, of which the largest portion (50%) is above the recommended weight. Women on the highest end of the age spectrum (>35 years old) are most prone to gain above the recommended weight during gestation (79%) on the other end women women 35 years old) who gained more than the recommended weight the group with the worse neonatal outcomes (16%). Conclusions: Latvian women who gained excess gestational weight have worse delivery outcomes and negatively impacts neonatal health. Any gestational weight gain deviation above the recommended parameters should be monitored and corrected.

Burma / Myanmar Bibliographic Project: Articles in periodicals, Festschriften or other multi-author publications
No full textIn 1974, the South Asia Institute in Heidelberg (SAI) was able to buy the Burma Collection of Professor Frank N. Trager, New York. Many of the items in this collection are listed in his own bibliography on Burma. The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft sponsored the acquisition of this collection on condition that it be catalogued in order to make it available to the scientific community and for foreign loan. Over the years the catalogue of the Trager collection grew into a complete bibliography on Burma/Myanmar

Moral Psychology and Support for the Use of Force in the International System
No full textWhy and under what circumstances do people support aggressive action in the international system? And can political psychology actually give us insights into state behavior? This dissertation argues against conventional accounts that hold that the public is rational and strategic with the regards to the use of power. Relying on the concepts of the cognitive miser and rational ignorance among the voting public, the author uses experimental methods to show that with regards to foreign policy individuals are motivated by the same prejudices and moral intuitions that guide domestic political behavior. The first chapter argues against folk realist theories and shows that constructivist theories based on the need to maintain a positive self-image do a better job of predicting when Americans support the use of force abroad. Another chapter shows that when Americans consider altruistic policies, hearing that the policy in question can financially benefit the United States makes them less likely to support it. Furthermore, the implications of differences between conservatives and liberals are explored. When conservatives are considering whether to support humanitarian intervention, they show a bias towards helping Christians over Muslims, but no racial prejudice. Liberals, in contrast, show little to no religious prejudice but are more likely to want to intervene in the scenario where whites are oppressing blacks rather than the other way around. Prejudice can even influence more abstract moral values, as when conservatives heard about Christians being killed by Muslims, they were not only more likely to support humanitarian intervention, but also to say that the United States had a general moral obligation to help foreign populations facing government persecution. The final chapter explores whether psychological differences between conservatives and liberals matter with regards to the making of foreign policy. Relying on measures of affinity, or S-scores, the author uses United Nations General Assembly voting data from six Anglophone democracies to show that in each of these countries conservative governments vote less in line with the rest of the world. This work hopes to inspire future research that can continue to establish a link between political psychology and research on state behavior

Tragerjevi terenski zapisi prekmurskega narečja v Bethlehemu-Allentownu v Pennsylvaniji
No full textThe paper briefly describes a collection of field notes on the Prekmurje dialect as spoken by immigrants to the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, which were collected in 1941 by the renowned American structural linguist George L. Trager (1906–1992) during a three-month research stay. After his fieldwork in Pennsylvania, Trager focused in his descriptive work on Native American languages of the U.S. Southwest. As a result, the Prekmurje material gathered dust until 1966, when he sent the notes to the American Slavist Jan Perkowski, who, in turn, kept them until 2007, when he sent them to the author of this paper. The field notes reflect the speech patterns of the Prekmurje Goričko type in its American context. The notes also give evidence of an innovative manner of representing phonemic and phonetic segments that Trager had been developing as a means of improving on the precision of the International Phonetic Alphabet
Environment and self-regulation in galaxy formation
No full textThe environment is known to affect the formation and evolution of galaxies considerably best visible through the well-known morphology–density relationship. It is less clear, though, whether the environment is equally important at a given galaxy morphology. In this paper, we study the effect of environment on the evolution of early-type galaxies as imprinted in the fossil record by analysing the stellar population properties of 3360 galaxies morphologically selected by visual inspection from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey in a narrow redshift range ( 0.05 ≤z≤ 0.06 ). The morphological selection algorithm is critical, as it does not bias against recent star formation. We find that the distribution of ages is bimodal with a strong peak at old ages and a secondary peak at young ages around ∼2.5 Gyr containing about 10 per cent of the objects. This is an analogue to 'red sequence' and 'blue cloud' identified in galaxy populations usually containing both early- and late-type galaxies. The fraction of the young, rejuvenated galaxies increases with both decreasing galaxy mass and decreasing environmental density up to about 45 per cent, which implies that the impact of environment increases with decreasing galaxy mass. The rejuvenated galaxies have lower α/Fe ratios than the average and most of them show signs of ongoing star formation through their emission line spectra. All objects that host active galactic nuclei in their centres without star formation are part of the red sequence population. We confirm and statistically strengthen earlier results that luminosity weighted ages, metallicities and α/Fe element ratios of the red sequence population correlate well with velocity dispersion and galaxy mass. Most interestingly, however, these scaling relations are not sensitive to environmental densities and are only driven by galaxy mass. We infer that early-type galaxy formation has undergone a phase transition a few billion years ago around z∼ 0.2 . A self-regulated formation phase without environmental dependence has recently been superseded by a rejuvenation phase, in which the environment plays a decisive role possibly through galaxy mergers and interactions
Observational evidence for AGN feedback in early-type galaxies
No full textA major amendment in recent models of hierarchical galaxy formation is the inclusion of so-called active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback. The energy input from an active central massive black hole is invoked to suppress star formation in early-type galaxies at later epochs. A major problem is that this process is poorly understood, and compelling observational evidence for its mere existence is still missing. In search for signatures of AGN feedback, we have compiled a sample of 16 000 early-type galaxies in the redshift range 0.05 200 km s ) and roughly evenly distributed between star formation and AGN at intermediate and low (σ <100 km s ) masses. The objects with emission (∼20 per cent) are offset from the red sequence and form a well-defined pattern in the colour-mass diagram. Star-forming early-types inhabit the blue cloud, while early-types with AGN are located considerably closer to and almost on the red sequence. Star formation-AGN composites are found right between these two extremes. We further derive galaxy star formation histories using a novel method that combines multiwavelength photometry from near-ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (IR) and stellar absorption indices. We find that in those objects deviating from the red sequence star formation occurred several 100 Myr in the past involving 1-10 per cent of the total stellar mass. We identify an evolutionary sequence from star formation via nuclear activity to quiescence. This transition process lasts about 1 Gyr, and the peak AGN phase occurs roughly half a Gyr after the starburst. The most likely interpretation is that star formation is suppressed by nuclear activity in these objects before they settle on the red sequence. This is empirical evidence for the occurrence of AGN feedback in early-type galaxies at recent epochs. © 2007 The Authors. Journal compilation © 2007 RAS
A well-conserved Plasmodium falciparum var gene shows an unusual stage-specific transcript pattern
No full textThe var multicopy gene family encodes Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) variant antigens, which, through their ability to adhere to a variety of host receptors, are thought to be important virulence factors. The predominant expression of a single cytoadherent PfEMP1 type on an infected red blood cell, and the switching between different PfEMP1 types to evade host protective antibody responses, are processes thought to be controlled at the transcriptional level. Contradictory data have been published on the timing of var gene transcription. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) data suggested that transcription of the predominant var gene occurs in the later (pigmented trophozoite) stages, whereas Northern blot data indicated such transcripts only in early (ring) stages. We investigated this discrepancy by Northern blot, with probes covering a diverse var gene repertoire. We confirm that almost all var transcript types were detected only in ring stages. However, one type, the well-conserved varCSA transcript, was present constitutively in different laboratory parasites and does not appear to undergo antigenic variation. Although varCSA has been shown to encode a chondroitin sulphate A (CSA)-binding PfEMP1, we find that the presence of full-length varCSA transcripts does not correlate with the CSA-binding phenotype
Grenslaagontwikkeling op een overlaat
No full textHet doel van dit onderzoek is het bepalen van de invloed van de wrijving op het debiet over een volkomen overlaat. Verwaarlozen we die wrijving dan vinden we met behulp van de vergelijking van Bernoulli een theoretisch debiet, dat we met een afvoercoëfficiënt moeten vermenigvuldigen om het werkelijke debiet te krijgen. CONCLUSIES De methode van oplossen die op de computer werd toegepast heeft resultaten opgeleverd die redelijk in overeenstemming zijn met de metingen in Wageningen voor het eerste deel van de overlaat. Door het gebruik van de vergelijking van Bernoulli is de toepassing ervan echter beperkt tot het gedeelte van de overlaat waar de waterdiepte groter dan de grensdiepte is, ofwel tot 4 à 5 maal de grensdiepte van het eind van de overlaat af. Toepassing van de Boussinesq vergelijking in plaats van de Bernoulli-vergelijking (gemiddeld over hoogte) zal het vermoedelijk mogelijk maken om verder te komen. Het is nog niet duidelijk hoeveel verder, aangezien een gedeelte van de daling na het bereiken van de grensdiepte toegeschreven kan worden aan de afzuiging. Een nader onderzoek naar de overgang lineair-turbulent (en de theoretische aanloop die daarmee samenhangt) lijkt bij de huidige meettechniek moeilijk realiseerbaar. Misschien is het met statistische behandeling van een groot aantal metingen mogelijk om iets over de "theoretische aanloop" te weten te komen. Met behulp van deze metingen kunnen dan gelijk de wandwrijvings- en vormparameter op hun waarde worden getoetst. De beschikbare metingen doen vermoeden dat H_12 veel trager daalt dan hij volgens de gekozen vergelijking doet.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
