Evaluation of an intervention supporting breastfeeding among late-preterm infants during in-hospital stay

BackgroundLate-preterm infants show lower breastfeeding rates when compared with term infants. Current practice is to keep them in low-risk wards where clinical guidelines to support breastfeeding are well established for term infants but can be insufficient for late-preterm.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate an intervention supporting breastfeeding among late-preterm infants in a maternity service in the Basque Country, Spain.MethodsThe intervention was designed to promote parents’ education and involvement, provide a multidisciplinary approach and decision-making, and avoid separation of the mother-infant dyad. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with a control (n = 212) and an intervention group (n = 161). Data was collected from clinical records from November 2012 to January 2015. Feeding rate at discharge, breast-pump use, incidence of morbidities, infant weight loss and hospital stay length were compared between the two groups.ResultsInfants in the control group were 50.7% exclusive breastfeeding, 37.8% breastfeeding, and, 11.5% formula feeding at discharge, whereas in the intervention group, frequencies were 68.4%, 25.9%, and 5.7%, respectively (p = 0.002). Mothers in the intervention group were 2.66 times more likely to use the breast-pump after almost all or all feeds and 2.09 times more likely to exclusively breastfeed at discharge. There were no significant differences in morbidities and infant weight loss between groups. Hospital stay was longer for infants who required phototherapy in the intervention group (p = 0.009).ConclusionThe intervention resulted in a higher breastfeeding rate at discharge. Interventions aimed to provide specific support among late-pretem infants in maternity services are effective.

市场经济条件下环境保护的措施

环境保护是我国的基本国策。国家对环境保护越来越重视。而要做好环境保护的具体工作,就必须遵循市场经济的运行规律。那就是要充分利用价值规律,要发挥竞争规律的作用,要支持资源的优化配置。     

国际贸易和直接投资:基于产业经济学的分析

传统的国际贸易和投资理论习惯于从国家级的宏观水平上,对一个国家的总体贸易流和投资活动作出解释。产业经济学对贸易流和投资的分析却有自己的传统,其特点是在产业级的微观水平上进行分析。在经济全球化条件下,产业经济学国际化研究的一个重要的主题是揭示来自外国的竞争对本国市场绩效的影响和作用机制,主要利用产业层面的模型去揭示市场结构对进出口和外国直接投资的影响。这种方法把市场结构的构成要素(规模经济、产品差异度、交易成本等)作为决定贸易流和外国直接投资的动力机制。在ＷＴＯ的规则下,这种产业经济学国际化的研究对指导中国的对外开放实践和国内竞争政策的制订具有重要的理论和现实意义。     

腐败行为的经济学分析--"五毒书记"张二江案例研究

腐败指的是公职人员利用公共权力为获取不正当的个人收益而收受第三方支付、并损害国家或公众利益的行为.腐败产生的原因是多方面的,本文分析了腐败产生的个人和制度等方面的原因,并指出要遏制腐败,必须构造一种较为系统和完备的权力设置、控制、监督和使用的运行机制,并采取加强意识形态教育等多种措施.     

新制度经济学的意识形态理论及其启示

意识形态理论是新制度经济学制度变迁理论的分析工具之一。新制度经济学认为,意识形态是减少提供其他制度安排的服务费用的最重要的制度安排。在中国由计划经济体制向市场经济体制转轨过程中,借鉴新制度经济学的意识形态理论,建构有中国特色的社会主义意识形态理论,发挥意识形态在制度变迁和经济增长中的作用,具有重大的现实意义。     

Do Lets Work?

This study aims to uncover some of the reasons for differences in attitudes towards family‐friendly and equal opportunities (EO) policies for women between senior and junior staff and between male and female staff. This in‐depth case study of a multi‐national corporation in Hong Kong that included a survey questionnaire, interviews and participant observation suggests four categories of female employees according to their approach to EO: advocators, supporters, outsiders and rejecters. The approach adopted was dependent on the woman's level of empathy towards the situation of working women and the extent of her career ambition. Four categories of male employees can also be classified depending on their level of empathy towards women's situation (similar to women's case) and their extent of career satisfaction (in contrast to women's career ambition), namely, antagonists, outsiders, fence‐sitters and sympathizers. Women at higher levels were less supportive of EO than women at lower levels. No such clear relationship between organizational level and attitudes towards EO was observed among men. In Hong Kong, female managers had little expectation that their organization would be family‐friendly and women workers who consciously chose to balance work and family accepted that it meant fewer promotional chances. No such self‐adjusted depressed ambition was observed among men.     

内混式油喷嘴流量特性实验研究

以压缩空气和变压器油为工质,对内混式介质雾化喷嘴的流量特性进行了实验研究,得出了内混式介质雾化喷嘴油、气流量系数与运行及结构参数的实验关系式.实验结果表明,不同内混式喷嘴或同一喷嘴在不同运行参数下的流量系数值变化很大,与通常设计计算时的推荐值偏差最大达100%以上.油压大于等于气压工况下的实验关系式与油压小于等于气压工况下的实验关系式有较大的区别.     

小说化:民族志书写的一种可能性

传统民族志的文化书写在小说与民族志之间人为划定了严格的界限,它重视概括性事实而回避故事讲述和故事中的单个人物,更谈不上中心人物的深度塑造。实验民族志这种书写范式的出现为借用小说叙事和人物塑造来集中地、戏剧性地展示对象的人文事实、心理事实及其内在意义提供了可能性。
