Should parents take active steps to preserve their children's fertility?

It has been argued that, when there is a probable imminent risk of loss of children's fertility, their parents should take active steps to preserve their reproductive potential if possible – or even that children have a right to such interventions being undertaken on them on their behalf, as an expression of their right to an open future. In this chapter, I explore these proposals and some of thei

Så kan e-handeln fixa returerna

Att returer är en huvudvärk för e-handelsföretagen är inget nytt samtalsämne. Men strategierna för att hantera sina returer talas det mindre om. Lärdomen från den sammantagna forskningen från de senaste tio åren pekar däremot åt ett relativt tydligt håll för e-handlaren. Här kommer sex råd om vad de bör tänka på när de bygger sin strategi för returhantering.That returns are a headache for e-commerce companies is not a new topic of conversation. But the strategies for managing their returns are less talked about. The lessons learned from the overall research from the last ten years, on the other hand, point in a relatively clear direction for the e-retailer. Here are six tips on what to keep in mind when formulating your return management strategy.

A theoretical approach for forecasting different types of drought simultaneously, using entropy theory and machine-learning methods

Precipitation deficit can affect different natural resources such as water, soil, rivers and plants, and cause meteorological, hydrological and agricultural droughts. Multivariate drought indexes can theoretically show the severity and weakness of various drought types simultaneously. This study introduces an approach for forecasting joint deficit index (JDI) and multivariate standardized precipit

Comparison of national polycentric settings in the partner countries

In its most recent Energy Union package, the European Union puts citizens at the core of the cleanenergy transitions. Beyond policy, disruptive innovations in energy sectors are challenging thetraditional business model of large energy utilities. One such disruptive, social innovation is theemergence of new clean energy communities (“NEWCOMERS”).The possible benefits of these “NEWCOMERS” for their

Association between sugar intake and intima media thickness as a marker for atherosclerosis : A cross-sectional study in the Malmö diet and cancer study (Sweden)

It has been suggested that sugar intake may play a role in the development of atherosclero-sis. However, studies on this matter are lacking. Intima media thickness (IMT) is a well-established measurement of subclinical atherosclerosis. This study aimed to investigate the cross-sectional association between sugar intake (i.e., added, free and total sugar and sugar-rich foods and beverages) and IMT.

Systemic opioids versus other analgesics and sedatives for postoperative pain in neonates

Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To determine the effects of systemic opioid analgesics in neonates (term or preterm) undergoing surgery, on mortality, pain and major neurodevelopmental disability, compared to placebo or no drug, non-pharmacological intervention, other opioids, or other analgesics or sedatives.

Inflammatory markers and mortality in critical lower limb ischemia

In atherosclerotic vascular disease, endothelial dysfunction is induced by risk factors such as arterial hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and tobacco use. In fl ammatory mechanisms and in fl ammatory cytokines play important roles in all of these mechanisms, and the different steps in atherogenesis involve cytokines as in fl ammatory promoters, stimulating the expression of proatherogenic genes
