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...

skilled labor force is very important in economic growth. workers become skilled when they are healthy and able to be educated and work. in this study, we estimated the effects of health indicators on labor supply. we used labor force participation rate as the indicator of labor supply. we categorized this indicator into 2 indicators of female and male labor force participation rates and compar...

Workers enter contingent and alternative arrangements from many different activities and for a wide variety of reasons; while some workers are involuntarily in such arrangements, as a proportion of the employed, they are relatively few R ecent reports of corporate downsizing, the growth of temporary help agencies, and the phenomenon of " outsourcing " have fueled the perception that the number ...

Based on interviews with sixty-one working-class men in rural Pennsylvania, this article explores the ways which rural, do—and do not—seek to improve their labor-market positions by getting additional education or training, moving, taking gender-atypical jobs. The evidence presented shows that are making many efforts position, but there misunderstandings about why they adopt strategies do. In p...

This paper provides micro evidence of labor mobility inside business groups. We show that worker flows between firms in the same group are stronger than with unaffiliated firms. Moreover, reallocation top workers is more sensitive to international shocks. Top move within response shocks reach higher positions and earn wages. find suggestive productivity increases when receive same-group workers...

ABSTRACT We explore structural differences in growth patterns and income distribution between central peripheral countries. provide dimensions that account for the limitations dependent positions have peripheries semi-peripheries. conducted an analysis through different estimates of panel data models 35 countries period 1980-2018. In particular, addition to making usual components aggregate dem...

Structural and computational biologists often need to measure the similarity of ligand binding conformations. The commonly used root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) is not only ligand-size dependent, but also may fail to capture biologically meaningful binding features. To address these issues, we developed the Contact Mode Score (CMS), a new metric to assess the conformational similarity based on...
