ture (早產(chǎn)的 ). They struggle to survive because they can’t regulate ( 調(diào)節(jié) ) their body temperature and they don’t have enough fat on their tiny bodies to keep warm. Approximately 14% of babies born are considered low birth weight, but these babies account for 60% 80% of neonatal (新生的 ) deaths. The solution is to keep premature babies warm, but an incubator (保溫箱 ) costs $ 20,000 and requires electricity which is difficult to find in developing countries, particularly in rural areas. Parents take extreme solutions to keep their babies warm. They attach hot water bottles to them or place them under light bulbs, which is not only unsafe but futile. As a result, 4 million premature babies die each year. Two thirds of deaths occur in ten countries and 40% of those occur in India, Those who survive suffer from severe long term health problems (diabetes, heart disease, mental dysfunction)because they’re battling hypothermia (低體溫癥 ) instead of growing. To solve this problem, Jane and Rajan, graduates of Stanford University, created a portable and reusable infant incubator that requires no electricity and costs less than thirty dollars. It is safe and easy to use. It has no moving parts and can be easily cleaned. It looks like a tiny sleeping bag but its design is very clever. It has a bag that contains a special material that gives off heat throughout the insulation (絕緣 ) at a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius (98 F)— the temperature critical for the child’s survival. The bag is removed from the insulated blanket and activated by placing it in hot water for 15 minutes. It’s then placed into the blanket. The special material maintains a constant temperature for 4 hours by absorbing heat if the baby gets too hot, and giving heat if the baby gets too cold. 32.
