Where did you read that print is dead? By Paul Luckman, in Books, Lifestyle · 23-07-2021 01:00:00 · 0 Comments
Latest research has shown that print is far from dead, in fact its one of the best ways to assimilate information.
What we read in print is much more likely to remain with you, unlike what we read on a screen. There is a fundamental difference in the two alternative ways to gain information, and to retain it.
When I first read some of the research I was not convinced, yet when I thought it out it made a lot of sense. Electronic or screen readers are ‘skimmers’. Ziming Liu at San Jose State University found that when participants in his studies looked at material on screens, they skim read – that is, they sampled the first line of text, then looked for key words instead of reading line by line.

starting immediately after delivery, even before the baby has been stabilized, can reduce mortality by 25 percent in infants with a very low birth weight. This according to a study in low- and middle-income countries coordinated by the WHO on the initiative of researchers at Karolinska Institutet published in The
New England Journal of Medicine.
Continuous skin-to-skin contact between infant and mother, or kangaroo mother care (KMC), is one of the most effective ways to prevent infant mortality globally.
The current recommendation from the World Health Organization (WHO) is that skin-to-skin contact should commence as soon as a low weight baby is sufficiently stable, which for those weighing under 2 kg at birth normally takes several days.
