Essays on the market for corporate bonds by Levonmaa, A

“…Drawing on similar studies of other markets, the relationship between returns and order flow is modelled using a vector autoregression, and the information content of a trade is measured as the long-run price impact of a shock to order flow. Price impacts are particularly strong and significant for order flow from institutional investors and for bonds with higher default risk, higher volatility and lower liquidity. …”

“…However, nursing home admission and home care need in the long term were harder to predict, suggesting their dependence on more abrupt changes. …”

Differences between neonatal units with high and low rates of breast milk feeding for very preterm babies at discharge: a qualitative study of staff experiences by McLeish, J, Aloysius, A, Gale, C, Quigley, M, Kurinczuk, JJ, Alderdice, F

“…Results: Five themes were developed: ‘The role of the infant feeding specialist’, ‘Achieving a whole team approach to breast milk feeding’, ‘Supporting initiation of breastfeeding’ ‘Supporting long-term expressing’, ‘Supporting the transition to breastfeeding’. …”

Nonlinear evolution and acceleration of unstable fuel-lean hydrogen/air flame at normal and cryogenic temperatures by Yang, L, Zhang, T, Wang, Y, Fang, X, Leach, F, Chen, Z

“…In contrast, for stoichiometric or fuel-rich flames without DTI, flames propagate in a steady single-cusp regime. Analyses show that long-term dynamics for fuel-lean flames including cell splitting, merging and lateral movement are caused by flow-flame-chemistry interaction. …”

Unfinished business: legalisation and implementation in business and human rights by Palmer, C

“…The empirical chapters demonstrate that efforts in implementation are often undertaken for the purpose of strengthening one or more other legalisation characteristics in the long run. This suggests that agents will be willing to accept lower levels of obligation, precision and/or delegation if they believe a focus on implementation will help strengthen these characteristics over time.…”

Interventions for prevention and treatment of trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity: an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses by Wang, Y, Xu, J, Xie, Y, Zhou, D, Guo, M, Qin, Y, Yi, K, Tian, J, You, T
