Compounds Essential to Human Function

Compounds Essential to Human Function

The human body is composed of cells that are fundamentally made up of several different molecules. These molecules are essential to carry out all physiological processes in the body and are broadly classified into organic and inorganic based on their chemical structures.
Inorganic Compounds Essential to Human Functioning
Inorganic compounds essential to human functioning include water, salts, acids, and bases. These compounds are inorganic, i.e., they do not have a carbon-hydrogen bond. Water...

Essential Minerals for Bone Health

Essential Minerals for Bone Health

The minerals contained in all of the food we consume are essential for our organ systems. However, certain essential minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, and fluoride, largely affect bone health.
Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...

Energy Basics

Energy Basics

Chemical reactions, such as those that occur when you light a match, involve changes in energy as well as matter.

Basicity of Aliphatic Amines

Basicity of Aliphatic Amines

Amines can behave as Brønsted–Lowry bases by accepting a proton from the acid to form corresponding conjugate acids. Due to a lone pair of nonbonding electrons, aliphatic amines can also act as Lewis bases by forming a covalent bond with an electrophile.
To measure the basicity of amines, two conventions are generally used. The first defines Kb as the basicity constant for the deprotonation reaction of water by the amine, as presented in Figure 1. Conventionally, lower Kb indicates higher...

Basic Operations on Signals

Basic Operations on Signals

Basic signal operations include time reversal, time scaling, time shifting, and amplitude transformations. These operations are fundamental in signal processing and analysis.
Time Reversal mirrors a continuous-time signal about the vertical axis at t=0. This is achieved by substituting t with −t. For example, if a signal x(t) is considered, the time-reversed signal is x(−t). This operation can be graphically represented, showing the mirrored signal.

Area of Science:

Healthcare
Midwifery
Professional Competencies

Background:

The International Confederation of Midwives (ICM) previously defined essential competencies for basic midwifery practice.
Evolving healthcare landscapes necessitate regular review and consensus-building on professional standards.

Purpose of the Study:

To achieve global consensus among midwifery experts on the essential competencies required for basic midwifery practice.
To update and refine the existing ICM Essential Competencies for Basic Midwifery Practice.

Main Methods:

A modified Delphi approach utilizing a three-round online survey.
Involved midwifery leaders, educators, and regulators across all ICM regions.
Content analysis of existing documents informed the initial competency set.

Main Results:

A broad, representative sample of global midwifery experts participated.
Competencies related to professional and personal attributes were expanded.
Most core midwifery practice competencies were endorsed, with some exceptions (e.g., abortion care, gynaecology).

Conclusions:

The expanded professional and personal attributes align with the emphasis on respectful midwifery care.
The core scope of midwifery practice remains largely unchanged.
Findings are consistent with the 2010/2013 ICM Essential Competencies framework.
