Bokvalg i norske barnehager - hva som leses sammen med barn og hvorfor by Agnes-Margrethe Bjorvand, Monica G. Mitchell, Katarzyna A. Tunkiel, Marianne Undheim

“…The teachers also emphasize that the books should be thematically relevant, have appealing pictures and lead to good conversations. However, when teachers mainly read books that children find enjoyable, that is books already known to the children, we find that there is an untapped potential in ECEC institutions to promote newer books, both individual titles and series.  …”

How does the first index mode of birth in public or private hospitals predict subsequent births? A 16-year Australian population-based linked data study by Soo Downe, Hannah G Dahlen, Ank de Jonge, Lilian Peters, Michiel de Boer

“…Women with an index spontaneous vaginal birth showed a high probability (91.3%) of subsequent spontaneous vaginal births. When stratified by maternity care funding model, the probabilities were similar: 91.6% in public hospitals and 90.2% in private hospitals.Conclusions Our study of low-risk Australian women (2001–2011) found that those giving birth in public hospitals had higher proportions of spontaneous vaginal births compared with private hospitals, where caesarean sections were more common. …”

Association between Helicobacter pylori infection, serum thyroid-stimulating hormone, and thyroxine in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999–2000 by Ting Lu, Shunshun Lu, Jieqiong Lin, Xiaona Shao, Dahua Chen, Jianwei Shen

“…RCS analysis revealed a non-linear relationship between TSH levels and H. pylori infection. Notably, when TSH < 0.98 IU/ml, the likelihood of H. pylori infection significantly increased.ConclusionsLower TSH and higher T4 levels were associated with H. pylori infection, particularly among men and elderly individuals.…”

Expression of LINC00847 in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of Children with Asthma and Its Prediction between Asthma Exacerbation and Remission by Jiaying Hu, Zhike Wang, Suzhen Han, Kai Chen

“…Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the expression levels of LINC00847 in PBMCs of asthma children were negatively correlated with FEV1% (r = −0.489), FEV1/FVC (r = −0.436), PEF% (r = −0.626), and IFN-γ level (r = −0.614) of asthma children, but positively correlated with IgE concentration (r = 0.680), eosinophil count (r = 0.780), IL-4 (r = 0.524), and IL-17A (r = 0.622) levels. When LINC00847 expression was used to distinguish asthma exacerbation from asthma remission, a 0.871 AUC (95% CI: 0.805–0.936) was yielded with sensitivity of 79.63% and specificity of 77.78%. …”

Time-frequency characterization of acoustic emission signals from bending damage of corroded reinforced concrete beams in high- temperature saline environment by Dazhong Zhang, Shiyi Zhang, SM Chayan, Yingfang Fan, Surendra P. Shah, Junjie Zheng

“…The common characteristics of the amplitude distribution at each stage of bending damage of reinforced concrete beams are mainly reflected in the amplitude peaks in the frequency bands 4–6 kHz, 13.5–16 kHz, and 53–57 kHz. When the beam reaches the yield stage the amplitude peaks in the high-frequency band rise abruptly, indicating that the internal reinforcement of the beam has yielded and the structure is about to become unstable as it enters failure stage. …”
