A quick biology review might help here: triglycerides are the most common form of fat in the body. Any calories consumed that aren?t burned off are converted into triglycerides. These fats help insulate the body, supply and store energy, and transport fat-soluble vitamins. Here?s where it gets a little complicated: there?s evidence to suggest that when a person has high triglyceride levels in c...

Since long ago, strong coastal structures have protected coasts, but since they disturb the coastal ecosystem balance, effort has been made to use them less or make them more compatible with the coast.

results there were significant differences between the groups in subjective labor pain scores (except vas 4) (p < 0.001). the duration of the phase one (3 cm dilatation to full dilatation) and phase two (full dilatation to birth) in the acupressure group was shorter than the control group (phase one, 225 min and 320 min, respectively; phase two, 15 min and 20 min, respectively; both p < 0.001)....

Intergroup relation perspectives stem from research in Western contexts with clear distinctions between the dominant and nondominant groups. In South Africa, with at least 13 different cultural groups and 11 official languages, no group is dominant in all life spheres. We examine the relationship between identity and in-/out-group orientation across Black-Zulu, Coloured (mixed racial ancestry),...
