Margaret Thatcher and the Single European Act
Throughout her years as British Prime Minister (1979–1990), Margaret Thatcher held ambivalent opinions of the European Community. She favoured it as a vehicle for peace and prosperity in Europe, but she was profoundly sceptical about the goal of ever closer union. To her also goes much of the credit for putting the creation of a genuine single market in goods and services at the forefront of European policy. But the background was not propitious.…
Barriers and facilitators of kangaroo mother care adoption in five Chinese hospitals
We provided a comprehensive in-depth report on the multi-level KMC barriers and facilitators in China. We recommend policy interventions specifically addressing these barriers and facilitators and increase family and peer support to improve KMC adoption in China. We also recommend that well-designed local cultural and economic feasibility and acceptability studies should be conducted before the KMC uptake
The Good Society
This chapter discusses how considerations of the good, both the human good and the impersonal good, can inform accounts of distributive justice for modern political societies. Starting with the assumption that just political societies will aim to promote the good of their members, it argues that considerations about good human lives are integral to determining the content of justice. This chapter also argues that, while just political societies m…
Caution needed to avoid empty scale-up of Kangaroo Mother Care in low-income settings
angaroo Mother Care (KMC) is enjoying growing support from ministries of health, international development partners, health professionals, and families. Recent and established initiatives, such as the Every Newborn Action Plan, Helping Babies Survive, KMC Acceleration Partnership, and International Network in Kangaroo Mother Care, combined with a growing evidence base, documentation on scale-up challenges and solutions Proliferation of hospital K…
Barriers and enablers of kangaroo mother care implementation from a health systems perspective
Community-Based Interventions for Newborns in Ethiopia (Combine)
About 87 000 neonates die annually in Ethiopia, with slower progress than for child deaths and 85% of births are at home. As part of a multi-country, standardized economic evaluation, we examine the incremental benefit and costs of providing management of possible serious bacterial infection (PSBI) for newborns at health posts in Ethiopia by Health Extension Workers (HEWs), linked to improved implementation of existing policy for community-based …
What is kangaroo mother care? Systematic review of the literature
The Official History of Britain and the European Community, Vol. II
This is the second volume in The Official History of Britain and the European Community, and describes the events from 1963 up until the British referendum on the Common Market in 1975. In 1963, General de Gaulle dashed Prime Minister Macmillan’s hopes of taking Britain into the European Community (the Common Market). When Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson tried again, de Gaulle again said ‘no’. Six years later, Prime Minister Edward Heath took…

Newborn survival in Bangladesh
Remarkable progress over the last decade has put Bangladesh on track for Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 4 for child survival and achieved a 40% decline in maternal mortality. However, since neonatal deaths make up 57% of under-five mortality in the country, increased scale up and equity in programmes for neonatal survival are critical to sustain progress. We examined change for newborn survival from 2000 to 2010 considering mortality, coverage…
Newborn survival in Nepal
Nepal is on target to meet the Millennium Development Goals for maternal and child health despite high levels of poverty, poor infrastructure, difficult terrain and recent conflict. Each year, nearly 35,000 Nepali children die before their fifth birthday, with almost two-thirds of these deaths occurring in the first month of life, the neonatal period. As part of a multi-country analysis, we examined changes for newborn survival between 2000 and 2…
Britain and Europe
Britain decided to join the European Community because its postwar, postimperial policies had failed and successive Governments saw no viable alternative. After ten years of being denied entry by De Gaulle, Britain joined on disadvantageous terms and with the British political parties, and the British people, deeply divided. Accession did not resolve the underlying issues and Britain's first year of membership saw an unprecedented oil crisis, bad…
Risk of Low Birth Weight Associated with Advanced Maternal Age Among Four Ethnic Groups in the United States
Very Low Birthweight in African American Infants
The lifelong accumulated experiences of racial discrimination by African American women constitute an independent risk factor for preterm delivery
Low-Income African-American Mothers’ Perception of Exposure to Racial Discrimination and Infant Birth Weight
We performed a hospital-based case-control study of African-American mothers to explore the relation between a mother's perception of exposure to racial discrimination during pregnancy and very low birth weight. We administered a structured questionnaire to low-income mothers of very low birth weight ( 2500 gm; N = 60) infants. The unadjusted and adjusted odds ratio of very low birth weight for maternal exposure to racial discrimination were 1.9 …
Excess female mortality in rural Somalia-Is inequality in the household a risk factor
Cross-Validation of a Short Form of the Position Description Questionnaire
Although several managerial job analysis questionnaires have been developed, they are not widely used in industrial situations. One reason for this lack of use may be that the available instruments tend to require one or more hours to complete. The current study reports the cross-validation of the Short Form of the Position Description Questionnaire (PDQ). A secondary analysis of data with the PDQ on a cross-validation sample of 2,280 managers in…
