A unique vision of the report was the commissions environmental focus (in addition to a plethora of other goals such as combating hunger and gender inequality). Specifically, the Commission argued, "long-term poverty reduction ... requires inclusive and sustainable growth. Growth should create decent jobs, take place with resource efficiency and within planetary boundaries, and should support efforts to mitigate climate change." The African Unions report, entitled Common African Position (CAP) on the Post-2015 Development Agenda, likewise encouraged the international community to focus on eradicating the twin problems of poverty and exclusion in our lifetime. Moreover, the CAP pledged that "no person – regardless of ethnicity, gender, geography, disability, race or other status – is denied universal human rights and basic economic opportunities". Least developed country conferences
The UN least developed country (LDC) conferences were a series of summits organized by the UN to promote the substantial and even development of the worlds least developed countries. The first UN LDC Conference was held between 1 and 14 September 1981, in Paris, the first UN LDC Conference was organized to finalize the UNs "Substantial New Programme of Action" for the 1980s in Least Developed Countries. This program, which was unanimously adopted by the conference attendees, argued for internal reforms in LDCs (meant to encourage economic growth) to be complemented by strong international measures. However, despite the major economic and policy reforms initiated many of these LDCs, in addition to strong international aid, the economic situation of these countries worsened as a whole in the 1980s.
In the study, a 22-year-old woman at 28 weeks and 2 days of gestation, presented for a routine third trimester screening. She was noted to have had 2 prior miscarriages at 17 and 20 weeks. A previous normal second trimester routine screening at 21 weeks of gestation did not identify any structural abnormalities within the placenta, decreased fetal size, or abnormally-appearing umbilical cord insertion. The patient also did not have any episodes of vaginal bleeding during the current pregnancy.Upon presenting for routine screening at 28 weeks and 2 days of gestation, the patient was not exhibiting any signs of active contractions and a cardiotocography was performed as part of routine screening. Cardiotocography is a diagnostic tool used during the third trimester of pregnancy to observe fetal heart rates and presence of uterine contractions. It can also be used to detect signs of any sort of fetal distress. In interpreting the cardiotocography that the 22-year-old pregnant woman had completed, it was noted that the fetus appeared to be much smaller than expected and was exhibiting concerns of decreased amniotic fluid volume, oligohydramnios, and restricted blood flow through the umbilical cord. Cardiotocographic monitoring also noted decreases in fetal heart rate every 25 minutes without contractions. Fetal motion was present, with the placenta appearing enlarged and spherical.Decreases in the fetus heart rate, in addition to the other findings of the cardiotocography, ultimately prompted physicians to deliver the baby via emergency cesarean section without major complications.
