Samuelsson M, Radestad I, Segesten K. A waste of life: fathers' experience of losing a child before birth. Birth2001 Jun; 28 : 124 –30 [OpenUrl][1][CrossRef][2][PubMed][3][Web of Science][4] QUESTION: How do fathers experience the intrauterine death of their child? Phenomenology. Sweden. 11 fathers (age range 31–46 y) whose partners had stillborn children at 32–42 weeks of pregnancy in 1997 and 1998. 6 fathers already had children. 4 fathers had become fathers again after the stillbirth, and 4 of the men′s partners were pregnant at the time of the study. Fathers were interviewed 5–27 months after the stillbirth in the venue of their choice (at home or the hospital). Interviews of 25 minutes to 2 hours in length were taped and transcribed. The transcripts were analysed to identify meaningful central units. (1) Experiencing that the baby was no longer alive : 8 fathers had a premonition that something was wrong before being told about the stillbirth, but they still had hope. Fathers described feelings of impending catastrophe (including shock, a lack of feeling, and denial). They also described great disappointment when their preparations and expectations for the baby were thwarted. Most fathers found … [1]: {openurl}?query=rft.jtitle%253DBirth%2B%2528Berkeley%252C%2BCalif.%2529%26rft.stitle%253DBirth%26rft.aulast%253DSamuelsson%26rft.auinit1%253DM.%26rft.volume%253D28%26rft.issue%253D2%26rft.spage%253D124%26rft.epage%253D130%26rft.atitle%253DA%2Bwaste%2Bof%2Blife%253A%2Bfathers%2527%2Bexperience%2Bof%2Blosing%2Ba%2Bchild%2Bbefore%2Bbirth.%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Adoi%252F10.1046%252Fj.1523-536X.2001.00124.x%26rft_id%253Dinfo%253Apmid%252F11380384%26rft.genre%253Darticle%26rft_val_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Ajournal%26ctx_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ver%253DZ39.88-2004%26url_ctx_fmt%253Dinfo%253Aofi%252Ffmt%253Akev%253Amtx%253Actx [2]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=10.1046/j.1523-536X.2001.00124.x&link_type=DOI [3]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=11380384&link_type=MED&atom=%2Febnurs%2F5%2F2%2F61.atom [4]: /lookup/external-ref?access_num=000168872000008&link_type=ISI

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
