In vortex-like spin arrangements, multiple spins can combine into emergent multipole moments. Such multipole moments have broken space-inversion and time-reversal symmetries, and can therefore exhibit linear magnetoelectric (ME) activity. Three types of such multipole moments are known: toroidal; monopole; and quadrupole moments.

Objective: To define perinatal factors associated with early-onset neonatal sepsis.
Study Design: Maternal and neonatal variables were analysed retrospectively in 343 infants born before 35 weeks using univariate and multivariate statistical analysis.
Results: Logistic regression analysis identified risk factors for probable neonatal sepsis: gestational age at delivery (odds ratio 0.
Objective: The study was conducted to identify medical, obstetrical and social risk factors associated with early preterm births (<32+0 gestational weeks).
Study Design: The Statewide Perinatal Survey of Bavaria is a collection of perinatal data from all Bavarian maternity units using a uniform numbered questionnaire. Data on 106345 singleton births from the 1994 Survey were analysed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.
