Maternal-fetal attachment, education, and parity are predictive of intended infant feeding method by pregnant women who choose breastfeeding, thereby adding to existing knowledge of the factors involved in feeding method choices of Taiwanese women. Further research should incorporate maternal-fetal attachment into a supportive model of breastfeeding.
Falls by older people present serious problems in every society. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of a checklist in estimation and reduction of the risk for falls for older adults in Taiwan. Following literature review, a purposive sample was used in a cross-sectional design to assess risk factors using a checklist. Older adults (N = 103) were recruited from three sheltered housing projects (elderly apartments in Taipei County); 52 individuals had fallen within the past year. A set of significant risk factors was identified, including physiological, psychological, environmental, and social dimensions. Members of the fall group had shorter Functional Reach and took more time to complete the Get-up and Go test than the control group. Some illnesses and drugs were associated with an increased risk of fall.
Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 296 K; mean (C-C) = 0.003 A ˚ ; disorder in solvent or counterion; R factor = 0.042; wR factor = 0.114; data-to-parameter ratio = 14.7. The molecular structure of the title compound, C 28 H 22 N 2 O 6 S 2 Á0.5CH 3 COOH, is built up from three fused rings, two six and one eight membered. The eight-membered ring shows a boat conformation and the dihedral angle between the two benzene groups attached thereto is 66.43 (11) , resulting in a V-shaped geometry. Two tosyl substituents are bound to the N atoms. The planes through the tolyl rings are roughly perpendicular, as indicated by the dihedral angle of 82.44 (12). In the crystal, the molecule and its inversion-related symmetry-equivalent are linked to the acetic acid solvent molecule by non-classical O-HÁ Á ÁO and C-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds. Two half-occupied acetic acid solvent molecules are disordered at the same site and linked by a center of symmetry.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
