Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The assets‐based feeding help before and after birth (ABA‐feed) intervention aims to improve breastfeeding rates by offering proactive peer support to first‐time mothers, regardless of feeding intention. Based on behaviour change theory and an assets‐based approach, the intervention involved training existing peer supporters to become infant ...

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.ABSTRACT UK breastfeeding rates are low, with health inequalities in initiation and continuation. Breastfeeding peer support interventions are recommended in UK and global policy. The Assets‐based feeding help Before and After birth (ABA‐feed) trial tested the effectiveness of proactive, woman‐centred support for infant feeding delivered by trained ...

Dual Stirling Cycle Liquid Air Battery
, 2023 The invention relates to a liquid air energy storage system. The storage system includes a cryocooler, a dewar, and a Sterling engine. The cryocooler cools a tip of a cold head to cryogenic temperatures, the cryocooler further includes a heat sink to reject heat from the cryocooler and a cold head that protrudes into a dewar through a cryocooler cavity,

A Chequered History but Positive Future for British Public Administration
Public Administration Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Public services, public servants, and the study of Public Administration are operating in a context of global turbulence. Our review of the state of the discipline suggests that a core strength of British Public Administration has been the complementarity between scholarship and practice, responding to existential threats.
