OBJECTIVES: Clitoral surgery on minors diagnosed with differences of sex development is increasingly positioned as a violation of human rights. This qualitative study identified how health professionals (HPs) navigate the contentious issues as they offer care to affected families.DESIGN: Qualitative analysis of audio-recorded semistructured interviews with HPs. All of the interviews were transcrib

En modell för samskapande mellan professionella med barnet i fokusDenna bok handlar om hur välfärdsorganisationer kan samskapa värde tillsammans med den som de är till för. Boken belyser betydelsen av att förstå olika verksamheters perspektiv – socialtjänsten, barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin och skolan – genom yrkesgruppernas egna röster för att effektivt kunna ta tillvara varandras kompetenser.

The use of coal, oil and gas, and land use change, has caused emissions of carbon dioxide which equals to about 550 billion tons of carbon. Half of these have accumulated in the atmosphere, which warms our climate with profound effects on natural and human systems. The other half has been absorbed by the oceans and the biosphere. Climate change affects the strength of these ‘ carbon sinks’. Knowle

It has been suggested that “comprehensive sex education” is part of the solution for the rise in female genital cosmetic surgery (FGCS). This chapter represents the first attempt to outline what such sex education might entail. The strengths and weaknesses of sex education approaches are discussed. The inclusion of more accurate information relating to genital appearance and sexuality diversity an

Introduction: The clinical diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is based on the identification of bradykinesia and at least one additional feature among rigidity, resting tremor and postural instability. These clinical features have been estimated to appear when at least 50% of the nigral dopamine neurons and 70% of putaminal dopamine tissue contents are lost [1]. Dopaminergic imaging suggests th

The lattice of the MAX-I electron storage ring has been investigated and tuned towards small momentum compaction values. By measurements of the synchrotron frequency, bunch length, horizontal beam size and beam movement, the beam has been found to behave in reasonable agreement with the predictions of the lattice model up to second order in energy deviation. Both longitudinal and horizontal emitta

With growing traffic demands, transportation networks become more and more congested and prone to disruptions. In this paper, we study how different perturbations affect the free flow equilibria, i.e., equilibria where no congestion effects are present, in transportation networks. More specifically, if and when the equilibrium of the perturbed dynamics is still in free flow. A generalized cell tra

The growth and survival of children was studied after rehabilitation for malnutrition at the Nutrition Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) of St Mary's Hospital on average 1.5 year after discharge. The findings are intended partly to provide descriptive information on later progress in the community of these children and also to identify specific risk factors. Of 50 children eligible for follow-up, 39 (78

Arabinoxylan oligosaccharides (AXOS) are studied as food compounds with prebiotic potential. Here, the impact of consumption of breads with in situ-produced AXOS on intestinal fermentation and overall gastrointestinal characteristics was evaluated in a completely randomized, double-blind, controlled, cross-over study. Twenty-seven healthy volunteers consumed 180 g of wheat/rye bread with or withou
