the use of corticosteroids is one of the methods put forward for the strengthening and speeding up the process of labor. after identification of glucocorticoid receptors in human amnion, the role of corticosteroids in starting the process of labor has been studied in numerous studies.the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of intravenous dexamethasone on preparing the cervix and o...

This paper examines the nexus between economic growth and energy consumption shock, over period 1990-2020, in Iran. We employ a Bayesian vector autoregressive (BVAR) with new prior functions, which will give results more acceptable consequences than classical methods to study these relationships. estimates relationship shocks within multivariate BVAR framework by including gross capital formati...

This paper addresses the question “Is energy that different from labor?” perspective of efficiency. It presents a novel statistical analysis for auto assembly industry in North America to examine determinants relative intensity, and contrasts this with similar another important factor production, labor intensity. The data used combine two non-public sources previously separately study key perfo...

Owing to the significance of unit testing in software development life cycle, there are several existing approaches on automating the generation of conventional unit tests. However, these approaches often fail to generate a minimal set of test cases for ensuring a high code coverage and manually writing such test cases is a labor-intensive task. To address these preceding issues with convention...

Writing unit test code is labor-intensive, hence it is often not done as an integral part of programming. However, unit testing is a practical approach to increasing the correctness and quality of software; for example, the Extreme Programming approach relies on frequent unit testing. In this paper we present a new approach that makes writing unit tests easier. It uses a formal specification la...

10-bed cardiovascular thoracic surgical unit, a 12-bed cardiovascular thoracic intermediate unit, a 9-bed coronary care unit, and a 16-bed intensive care unit. Depending on the number of patients and staffing on the critical care units, critical care nurses floated outside their assigned unit to the emergency room and medical-surgical units. When nurses floated outside critical care areas, prob...

the main goal followed in the present study is to investigate the effect of developed plans on mechanization evolution and employment in the agricultural sector. time series approach was applied. according to the results of the vec model, substitution relationship between machine and labor accepted. in general, one unit of mechanization coefficient is substituted for one million employments in ...

BACKGROUND The objective of this randomized prospective study was to compare the efficacy of 50 mcg vaginal misoprostol and 3 mg dinoprostone, administered every nine hours for a maximum of three doses, for elective induction of labor in a specific cohort of nulliparous women with an unfavorable cervix and more than 40 weeks of gestation. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred and sixty-three pregn...

The mass transfer of enterprises from state to private hands in Russia is one of the most remarkable events of the past decade, yet little is known about how privatization has affected workers. This paper explores the effect of changing ownership on the wage distribution, focusing on how wage differentials between state-owned and privatized enterprises have evolved over the course of the transi...
