IMPACT OF COMMUNITY-BASED INTERVENTIONS ON MATERNAL AND NEONATAL HEALTH INDICATORS: RESULTS FROM A COMMUNITY RANDOMIZED TRIAL IN RURAL BALOCHISTAN, PAKISTAN

Impact of community-based interventions on maternal and neonatal health indicators: Results from a community randomized trial in rural Balochistan, Pakistan

Abstract Background Pakistan has high maternal mortality, particularly in the rural areas.The delay in decision making to seek medical care during obstetric emergencies remains a significant factor in maternal mortality.Methods We present results from an experimental study in rural Pakistan.Village clusters were randomly assigned to intervention an

Squashing and supersymmetry enhancement in three dimensions

We consider mass-deformed theories with ${cal N}geq2$ supersymmetry on round and squashed three-spheres.By embedding the supersymmetric backgrounds in extended supergravity we show that at special values of rumchata proof mass deformations the supersymmetry is enhanced on the squashed spheres.When the $3d$ partition function can be obtained by a li
