Mechanical design and prototyping of a neonatal incubator for areas with intermittent electrical grid power

Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2012.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (p. 31).Every year, 1.1 million infants die from complications related to preterm birth. An estimated 80% of these deaths could be prevented through the use of non-intensive methods, including thermal regulation. Neonatal incubators are common life-preserving devices for preterm infants in developed countries, but are under-utilized in much of the developing world due to designs intended for large hospital settings their need for constant electrical grid power and. A design is here proposed for a portable off-grid neonatal incubator for use in those areas. The design is honed through human-centered design practices and the use of SolidWorks representations. Early-stage prototypes are constructed from foam and ABS. Prototyping in ABS required overcoming difficulties presented by the size constraints imposed by the thermoforming machines available in the Laboratory for Manufacturing and Productivity.by Elaina Kim Present.S.B

Master's thesis in theolgy. VID Specialized University, Stavanger, August 2021This study deals with the preaching in occasional services as a tool for changes in church and society in Northern Diocese of Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania. Its research question is “what is the impact of preaching in occasional services to the church and society? Within this question, the study surveyed different occasional services which are mostly practiced in Northern Diocese and the effects of its preaching to the church and society. In doing so, face to face interviews, observations and existing data from different documents have been used to help in answering the research question and accomplish the aim of this study. The study revealed that preaching in occasional services is an important tool which can be used to help in bringing changes to the Church and society. It is highly needed due to the nature of the world especially in this era of globalization. Generally, the study showed that there are achievements realized through preaching in occasional services which are social and spiritual changes. These achievements can be termed as the impact or changes which can be observed behind the preaching in occasional services. Nevertheless, there is still a great possibility of making more changes in the church and society through preaching in occasional services by putting a clear emphasis on the principles of effective preaching which follows the bible teachings and considers the context.submittedVersio

historic Capitol Building. Mr. Speaker presiding.

Today, we have come to transact the business of this state in this historic chamber. Today we stand on the shoulders of many great leaders who have fought for the issues they championed. May we follow in their footsteps. Today we pray for Your gift of contentment, that we may not waste our time desiring more, but learn to use and enjoy what we have. We may not know everything, but we may know You and Your will. We need not be rich to be generous, nor have all wisdom to be understanding. Our influence may not be great, but it can be good. Our speech may not be eloquent, but it can be truthful and sincere. We cannot all have good looks, but we can have a good conscience, and having that, we shall have peace of mind and need fear no man. May we be kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as You, for Christ's sake, have forgiven us. AMEN. Pledge of allegiance to the Flag.
