7.3 Childbirth One aspect of life which is often seen as having been ‘medicalised’ in the twentieth century is that of childbirth. Historians argue that until the nineteenth century, pregnancy and birth were dealt with within families, with minimal input from medical practitioners. By the late twentieth century, pregnancy was labelled as a form of illness by some practitioners, births took place in hospital and pregnant women, new mothers and their babies were subjected to constant supervision by medica

The histone family consists of five groups of proteins, histones H1, H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. An examination of their amino acid content gives us clues as to how the histones fulfil their role in DNA packaging. Rather like the polyamines in bacteria, these proteins are highly positively charged, with up to 20% of their amino acids being lysine or arginine, the charged side

IBM's Steve Street explains why the financial meltdown, which demonstrates the limitations of a purely financial model, will motivate a move towards multiple sources of value. Services are crucial for our economy, the crisis has shown this very clearly, therefore it makes sense to look more scientifically at this important part of our society. We are, Steve believe, on the cusp of a radical transformation in the way services are delivered.
