Implementation of the WHO Safe Childbirth Checklist with peer coaching resulted in >90% adherence to 35 of 39 essential birth practices among birth attendants after 8 months, but adherence to some practices was lower when the coach was absent.

Sulfonated chiral Mn(salen) catalyst immobilised onto various supports such as silica, LDH and resin afforded remarkably higher rates and ees of up to 96% for the asymmetric epoxidation of unfunctionalised olefins. The LDH and resin supported (R,R)-1 catalysts were recovered quantitatively by simple filtration and reused for several times with consistent ees and insignificant loss of activity.
