Abortion access is a critical component of comprehensive reproductive health care; it is vital for maintaining bodily autonomy as well as promoting individual and community health, safety, and well-being. In the United States, approximately [one in four] people with the capacity for pregnancy will seek first trimester abortion care by the age of 45. Both medication and procedural abortions are safe, with complications being rare. Despite this, 89% of US counties do not provide abortion care, and thousands of people face numerous barriers each to access the care they critically need. These barriers can take the form of restrictive state or federal laws, financial limitations, religious prohibitions within certain health systems, and widespread stigma associated with being an abortion provider. 3, record 2, English, - abortion%20access

Là où l'accès à l'avortement est limité, il est fréquent que l'interruption de grossesse ne puisse être pratiquée qu'au deuxième trimestre, ce qui en augmente les risques. On a tout lieu de croire que cela favorise également les avortements illégaux et dangereux. Il est prouvé qu'une législation très sévère peut être extrêmement préjudiciable aux adolescentes. À l'échelle mondiale, on observe une mortalité maternelle supérieure dans les pays où la législation de l'avortement est restrictive. [...] À ce sujet, la CIPD [Conférence internationale sur la population et le développement] a indiqué que les pays doivent veiller à ce que les programmes et les attitudes des prestataires de santé ne restreignent pas l'accès des adolescent(e)s aux services et aux informations dont ils/elles ont besoin [...] 2, record 2, French, - acc%C3%A8s%20%C3%A0%20l%27avortement

A process for reducing a magnetized material to a neutral state, that is, to a state when both the magnetic induction B and the magnetic field strength H are equal to zero.(...) The standard demagnetization process involves applying a magnetizing force above a critical value for the material used, and successively reversing H in direction as the value of H is steadily reduced to a value less than those to be used in subsequent experiments. If the final value of H is essentially zero, the specimen is demagnetized. 4, record 3, English, - demagnetization

The Fragile States Index(FSI) produced by The Fund for Peace(FFP), is a critical tool in highlighting not only the normal pressures that all states experience, but also in identifying when those pressures are outweighing a states’ capacity to manage those pressures. By highlighting pertinent vulnerabilities which contribute to the risk of state fragility, the Index — and the social science framework and the data analysis tools upon which it is built — makes political risk assessment and early warning of conflict accessible to policy-makers and the public at large. 3, record 4, English, - Fragile%20States%20Index

Supercritical fluid technology is based on properties of compounds when they are placed under pressure and temperature conditions beyond their critical point. Supercritical fluids have a viscosity close to gases, a density close to liquids, and a high diffusivity. The state changes gaseous/supercritical and liquid/supercritical occur in a continuous way. Supercritical fluids have then a tunable solvent power : solubility of compounds in the fluid is correlated to pressure and temperature.

Les changements d'état gaz/fluide supercritique et liquide/fluide supercritique se font d'une manière continue.

A Superconducting Tunnel Junction(STJ-or Josephson junction) consists of two thin films of a superconducting metal such as niobium, tantalum or hafnium separated by a thin insulating layer. When operated at temperatures well below the superconductor's critical temperature(typically below 1 K), the equilibrium state of the junction is easily perturbed by any photon striking it. By applying a small bias voltage across the junction and a suitable parallel magnetic field to suppress the Josephson current, an electrical charge proportional to the energy of the perturbing photon can be extracted from the device. 1, record 21, English, - superconducting%20tunnel%20junction
