MMR plays an important role in determining fiscal and legislative priorities for women's health in Mexico and in the discursive practices that shape societal beliefs about appropriate birthing practices and birth attendants. This paper is based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in Yucatán and Quintana Roo between 2009 and 2017 during Ministry of Health midwifery workshops and approximately fifty interviews with midwives, doctors, public health officials, and parents. It explores the mutability of MMR within the context of political struggles for midwifery in Mexico-both for and against its legality and existence. In Mexico, MMR is often used by bureaucrats and public health workers to reinforce the importance of biomedical obstetric services over midwifery. However, the same metrics are also employed by midwives in critiques of underfunded and often structurallyviolent maternal health care services. While doctors attempt to use MMR to prove that birth is inherently dangerous and must take place in hospitals with access to obstetric technologies and interventions, midwives use MMR to demonstrate that birth in hospitals is risky precisely because of those technologies and their inappropriate use, and to draw international attention and funding in support of midwifery. In addition to examining the strategic use of MMR in health-related discourses, this paper interrogates techniques employed by the state to limit midwives' access to births in the name of monitoring and improving MMR. I contend that while discursive uses of MMR to advance professional and political goals are common in both midwifery and biomedicine, the asymmetric power relations of biomedicine vis-à-vis the Mexican state privilege interpretations of MMR that justify and legitimate enhanced bureaucratic surveillance of midwives.

The roots of society's concern for the young are traced to Hammurabi and television's duality in denying that it influences children to violence, while selling its persuasiveness as an advertising medium, is decried. The recent statement of the Federal Communications Commission on the duties of broadcasters to provide children's programs that educate and inform as well as entertain is discussed, along with policies of the Federal Trade Commission on advertising in children's programing. A 9-point set of guidelines is proposed for broadcasters to help them upgrade children's programing.

The operation and performance of the semiconductor tracker during the first years of LHC running are described. More than 99% of the detector modules were operational during this period, with an average intrinsic hit efficiency of (99.74±0.04)%. The evolution of the noise occupancy is discussed, and measurements of the Lorentz angle, δ-ray production and energy loss presented. The alignment of the detector is found to be stable at the few-micron level over long periods of time. Radiation damage measurements, which include the evolution of detector leakage currents, are found to be consistent with predictions and are used in the verification of radiation background simulations.

The measurement exploits the ψ(2S) → J/ψ(→ µ + µ −)π + π − decay mode, and probes ψ(2S) mesons with transverse momenta in the range 10 ≤ p T < 100 GeV and rapidity |y| < 2.0. The results are compared to other measurements of ψ(2S) production at the LHC and to various theoretical models for prompt and non-prompt quarkonium production.

This is done using variables such as the fraction of dijet events without an additional jet in the rapidity interval bounded by the dijet subsystem and correlations between the azimuthal angles of the dijets. They are presented, both with and without a veto on additional jet activity in the rapidity interval, as a function of the scalar average of the transverse momenta of the dijets and of the rapidity interval size. The double differential dijet cross section is also measured as a function of the interval size and the azimuthal angle between the dijets. These variables probe differences in the approach to resummation of large logarithms when performing QCD calculations. The data are compared to powheg, interfaced to the pythia 8 and herwig parton shower generators, as well as to hej with and without interfacing it to the ariadne parton shower generator. None of the theoretical predictions agree with the data across the full phase-space considered; however, powheg+pythia 8 and hej+ariadne are found to provide the best agreement with the data. These measurements use the full data sample collected with the ATLAS detector in 7 TeV pp collisions at the LHC and correspond to integrated luminosities of 36.1 pb −1 and 4.5 fb −1 for data collected during 2010 and 2011, respectively.
ATLAS measurements of the azimuthal anisotropy in lead-lead collisions at √ s NN = 2.76 TeV are s... more ATLAS measurements of the azimuthal anisotropy in lead-lead collisions at √ s NN = 2.76 TeV are shown using a dataset of approximately 7 µb −1 collected at the LHC in 2010. The measurements are performed for charged particles with transverse momenta 0.5 < p T < 20 GeV and in the pseudorapidity range |η| < 2.5. The anisotropy is characterized by the Fourier coefficients, v n , of the charged-particle azimuthal angle distribution for n = 2-4. The Fourier coefficients are evaluated using multi-particle cumulants calculated with the generating function method. Results on the transverse momentum, pseudorapidity and centrality dependence of the v n coefficients are presented. The elliptic flow, v 2 , is obtained from the two-, four-, six-and eight-particle cumulants while higher-order coefficients, v 3 and v 4 , are determined with two-and four-particle cumulants. Flow harmonics v n measured with four-particle cumulants are significantly reduced compared to the measurement involving two-particle cumulants. A comparison to v n measurements obtained using different analysis methods and previously reported by the LHC experiments is also shown. Results of measurements of flow fluctuations evaluated with multiparticle cumulants are shown as a function of transverse momentum and the collision centrality. Models of the initial spatial geometry and its fluctuations fail to describe the flow fluctuations measurements. ation of the LHC, as well as the support staff from our institutions without whom ATLAS could not be operated efficiently.

The jet-cooled laser induced fluorescence spectrum of the B r X electronic transition of 2-methyl... more The jet-cooled laser induced fluorescence spectrum of the B r X electronic transition of 2-methylvinoxy radical is assigned as a superposition of contributions from noninteracting cis and trans isomers. The spectrum of the cis isomer is identified by comparison with ab initio electronic structure calculations; both theory and experiment clearly indicate that the methyl conformation changes from the X state to the B state. Fits of both hot and cold bands to a one-dimensional torsional model yield methyl rotor barrier magnitudes of 270 (20 cm-1 in the X state and 200 (20 cm-1 in the B state. The ab initio calculations show that in the ground state the preferred conformation places one methyl CH bond in the plane of the molecular frame cis to the vicinal CC bond. Assignment of the spectrum of trans-2-methylvinoxy is more tentative because no resolved hot bands are available to corroborate the model. Our best estimate for the B state barrier magnitude is 60 (15 cm-1. Multireference configuration interaction calculations and coupled cluster calculations are reasonably successful in obtaining methyl torsional barriers in agreement with experiment, although high accuracy is elusive for the B state of both cis and trans isomers. By comparison with simpler cases, we infer that the π radical character of the B state strongly influences the methyl torsional barrier.

Proton-proton collision data taken at √ s = 7 TeV during the 2011 running period, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.4 fb −1 , are analysed. No signal candidates are observed, and 95% confidence level cross-section upper limits are interpreted as mass-exclusion lower limits for a simplified Drell-Yan production model. In this model, masses are excluded from 50 GeV up to 430, 480, 490, 470 and 420 GeV for charges 2e, 3e, 4e, 5e and 6e, respectively.

This study aimed to determine Canadian medical programmes' commitment towards Aboriginal health issues, recruitment, admission policies, educational opportunities and support offered to Aboriginal medical undergraduate students. METHODS Medical school websites were initially reviewed to identify recruitment initiatives, admission policies and curriculum activities related to Aboriginal health. A questionnaire was sent to each dean of medicine to collect additional data on the programmes' recruitment strategies, admission policies, educational opportunities and the type of support offered to Aboriginal medical students. RESULTS Sixteen medical programmes completed the questionnaire (return rate ¼ 100%). There were 56 Aboriginal medical students enrolled across these medical programmes. More than 75% of students were completing their training in a western province. Over half of the medical programmes had recruitment initiatives and admission policies specific to Aboriginal applicants and the majority reported that their programmes' curricula included learning objectives specific to Aboriginal health. Most offered lectures and training opportunities to medical students and few offered core curriculum activities focusing on Aboriginal health. DISCUSSION This descriptive paper offers a snapshot of initiatives across medical programmes aimed at increasing the number of Aboriginal applicants and medical students and at supporting their journeys towards the attainment of medical degrees. More research is needed to evaluate these initiatives' effectiveness. The results of such studies would not only provide needed information aimed at meeting the specific health needs of Aboriginal people, but may also contribute towards the laying of a framework to help narrow the gaps that exist within health care delivery to other minority groups.

A continuing care requirement community (CCRC), or life care community, is a long-term care alternative providing a package of services, including housing, health care and social services, to the elderly. More specifically, a CCRCL (1) provides independent living units, either apartments, rooms or cottages; (2) guarantees a range of health care and social services, which may include intermediate or skilled nursing care, usually available on the premises; (3) requires some type of prepayment, generally an entrance fee and/or monthly fees; and (4) offers a contract that lasts for more than one year or for life and that describes the service obligations of the community and the financial obligations of the resident.

In addition to the 16 weeks of scheduled inter-governmental negotiations under the auspices of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC), meetings, many at a Ministerial level, were convened by the G-8, the Major Economies Forum, the UN Secretary General, and Denmark, the host of the 15th Conference of Parties (COP-15) to the FCCC. Notwithstanding regular and intense engagement at the highest-level many fundamental disagreements remained in the lead up to COP-15, including on the future (or lack thereof) of the Kyoto Protocol, the legal form and architecture of the future legal regime, and the nature and extent of differential treatment between developed and developing countries.
