Empowering Maternal Resilience: A Prenatal Education Program for Mothers and Their Chosen Support Persons for Postpartum Depression

Previous research studies have demonstrated the positive impact education and social support has on reducing the risk of postpartum depression (PPD) when used separately. However, there exists a clear gap in understanding the combined effects of integrating both education and social support during the prenatal period on PPD. This longitudinal quasi-experimental study aims to evaluate the impact of an in-person prenatal PPD prevention program for the birthing person, requiring the presence of a support person on the reduction of PPD. Participants and their chosen support persons will receive information on PPD, including risk factors, signs and symptoms, preventative measures, and coping strategies. The study will involve 128 participants from a local obstetrics community clinic selected through convenience sampling, with 64 participants in the experimental group and 64 in the control group. Basic demographic data, as well as information on the relationship with the support person, will be collected prior to intervention. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale will be administered as a pre-test during the third trimester and as a post-test at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months postpartum. The experimental group will attend the in-person prenatal PPD program while the control group will instead receive the usual prenatal care. Two-tailed t-tests will be used to assess statistical significance in comparing PPD incidents between experimental and control groups at various postpartum time points. Pearson Correlation coefficient (Pearson r) will measure the linear association between pairs of continuous variables. If successful, the study could provide nurses with an evidence-based approach to PPD education and prevention. Importantly, it has the potential to enhance the well-being of the mother and baby. The more nurses can expose birthing persons and their support persons to patient and partner-centered PPD education, the lower the risk of PPD

Calculating Vsin(i) of Planet-hosting Young Stars

Constraining the spin-orbit alignment of close-in planets in young systems can provide insight on their migratory history. We can combine Vsin(i) with measurements of the stellar rotation period and radius to determine the star\u27s orbital inclination, which we can compare to that of the planet as determined from the transit. Vsin(i) is determined from the rotational broadening on the star\u27s spectral lines, so it is ideal to work with young, fast-rotating stars where broadening is more easily measured. We measure Vsin(i) of seven planet-hosting stars within the Praesepe star cluster by using high-resolution spectra from the Immersion Grating INfrared Spectrometer (IGRINS) in the K and H band. We develop a program to fit the model onto each order of the spectra using a set of optimized parameters which takes into account complicating factors such as instrumental broadening, stellar motion, and atmospheric turbulence. For our final result, we find that all planet hosts are spin-orbit aligned within measurement errors

Diputacions : l’ens qüestionat

Treball Final de Grau en Periodisme. Codi: PE0932.Curs: 2014/2015Es presenta un reportatge que aprofundeix sobre l’administració provincial i les diputacions provincials. El reportatge desenvolupa el debat sobre la utilitat, avantatges i problemes de les diputacions provincials en l’actualitat. Aquesta discussió ha estat present en els darrers anys a l’esfera política i social. Des de l’any 2011, aquest debat es va fer més patent, quan en el moment més crític de la crisi econòmica, molts partits polítics van analitzar el funcionament de les diputacions i es van posicionar. El debat sobre l’eficàcia i la utilitat de les diputacions provincials inclou diferents temes, com el seu funcionament, la seva eficàcia i el seu futur. El reportatge ofereix diferents punts de vista de la situació actual de les diputacions mitjançant entrevistes de càrrecs polítics que han treballat per a l’administració i l’opinió experta d’un professor de dret que analitza aquesta administració.A report that involves the debate of the provincial administration and the provincial government. This report develops the debate about the usefulness, advantages and problems of the provincial government nowadays. The discussion about the utility of the provincial administration has been present regularly in the political and social sphere. Since 2011 it became more relevant when in the most critical moment of the economic crisis, political parties analyzed the situation of the administration. The debate over the usefulness and utility of the provincial administration covers several topics, such its functioning, their efficiency and its future. The report offers different points of view on the current situation of the provincial government with interviews to politicians who have worked in the administration and the expert opinion of a law professor that gives an outlook of the regional administrations

Two-week joint mobilization intervention improves self-reported function, range of motion, and dynamic balance in those with chronic ankle instability

We examined the effect of a 2-week anterior-to-posterior ankle joint mobilization intervention on weight-bearing dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM), dynamic balance, and self-reported function in subjects with chronic ankle instability (CAI). In this prospective cohort study, subjects received six Maitland Grade III anterior-to-posterior joint mobilization treatments over 2 weeks. Weightbearing dorsiflexion ROM, the anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral reach directions of the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), and self-reported function on the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) were assessed 1 week before the intervention (baseline), prior to the first treatment (pre-intervention), 24–48 h following the final treatment (post-intervention), and 1 week later (1-week follow-up) in 12 adults (6 males and 6 females) with CAI. The results indicate that dorsiflexion ROM, reach distance in all directions of the SEBT, and the FAAM improved (p < 0.05 for all) in all measures following the intervention compared to those prior to the intervention. No differences were observed in any assessments between the baseline and pre-intervention measures or between the postintervention and 1-week follow-up measures (p > 0.05). These results indicate that the joint mobilization intervention that targeted posterior talar glide was able to improve measures of function in adults with CAI for at least 1 week

The diffusion of energy technologies. Evidence from renewable, fossil, and nuclear energy patents

Technology innovation is widely recognised as a critical means in tackling climate change and fulfilling energy policy objectives. The objective of this paper is twofold: first, to provide a descriptive analysis of innovation in energy technology across countries and sectors and over time; and second, to explore the determining factors of patented knowledge diffusion of energy technologies by distinguishing between renewables and other energy patents, i.e., fossil and nuclear patents) thorough a regression analysis. The data employed in this paper consists of an original database on renewables and other energy patents applied by firms in the period 1990–2015 and contained in PATSTAT. By drawing on patent citations as an indicator of knowledge diffusion and focusing on characteristics extracted from patent documents, a set of econometric models is estimated. Our results show that those patents containing more citations to previous scientific literature and patents attain greater diffusion. Joint patents with other firms or universities exert a negligible effect on technology regarding renewables. Coownership with universities has a negative effect on the diffusion of other types of energy technology. Several policy implications can be determined from our results: for example, the justification for policies oriented towards enhancing the incorporation of scientific knowledge and co-inventorship in energy innovation
