Study protocol for a randomised trial evaluating the effect of a "birth environment room" versus a standard labour room on birth outcomes and the birth experience
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Introduction In the last decade, there has been an increased interest in exploring the impact of the physical birth environment on birth outcomes. The birth environment might have an important role in facilitating the ... -
Island biogeography theory explains the genetic diversity of a fragmented rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The island biogeography theory is one of the major theories in ecology, and its applicability to natural systems is well documented. The core model of the theory, the equilibrium model of island biogeography, predicts that ... -
Association between antimicrobial resistance among Enterobacteriaceaeand burden of environmental bacteria in hospital acquired infections:analysis of clinical studies and national reports
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background:WHO has named three groups of gram-negative bacteria“our critical antimicrobial resistance-relatedproblems globally”. It is thus a priority to unveil any important covariation of variables behind this ... -
