A Transformative Approach to Gender Mainstreaming: Changing the Deep Structure of Organizations
Authors: Joseph Trunette , Gouws Amanda , Parpart Jane
Published: August 2018

Mainstreaming: Changing the Deep Structure of Organizations. This article argues that gender mainstreaming will only be successful if a transformative agenda setting process is used through which the institutional cultures of organizations are changed. This implies an engagement with the deep structure of organizations. The deep structure of most organizations is the embedded masculinist values and norms that are normalized so that everyone accepts them. This deep structure is most often resistant to gender transformative change. The article suggests a gendered archaeological investigation as well as the implementation of a transforming gender mainstreaming model through which gender mainstreaming becomes acceptable. The article draws on gender mainstreaming research done with the United Nations Development Programme in South Africa.
Getting the Institutions Right for Gender Mainstreaming
Authors: Madsen Diana Højlund
Published: August 2018

Getting the Institutions Right for Gender MainstreamningThe article focuses on processes of translating the global strategy of gender mainstreaming into practice at the local, Ghanaian level. Analysing mainstreaming from an institutional perspective, the roles of the national gender machinery and the gender desk officers in sector ministries are scrutinised according to critical elements for their functioning. The main finding suggests that successful mainstreaming processes to a large extent depend on individual women at the state level (femocrats) as a onsequence of a low level of institutionalisation of the strategy.

Skæve kløn, skæve etniciteter

Published: August 2018

Pakistanske Wahid med det affarvede hår og de røde trompetbukser er en undtagelse i skolegården. Han udpeges gang på gang af eleverne, og det sporer mig ind på, at hans skævheder måske er centrale omdrjningspunkter i elevernes forståelser af sig selv og hinanden og tillige for en forsking, der undersøger spændingsfelterne mellem køn og etnicitet, normativitet og andethed.

Stadier i den teknologiske tænknings utopier - En hovedvej i den mandlige lidenskabs historie i det 20. århundrede
Authors: Finnemann Niels Ole
Published: August 2018

Throughout this century, new technology has been a constant object of male fascination. The article outlines three phases of the development of new technology and male fascination in the twentieth century: firstly, the so-called classic fascination which regarded technology as an expression of male potency and power, secondly, the so-called modern fascination expressed in aspirations for growth, technology and welfare generated by a gender-neutral subject as basic figure, and, thirdly, the post-modern fascination based on the self-copying subject aiming at the genetic copying of its own preferred qualities and characteristics. It is argued that the significance of technological fascination has grown throughout this century in spite of the stronger reference to necessity and reason.
Intersectionality as embodiment
Authors: Jensen Sune Qvotrup , Elg Camilla
Published: August 2018

Intersectionality as embodiment. This article explores intersectionality as embodiment, arguing that by taking embodiment into account broader possibilities of intersectional analysis can be unfolded. Inspired by phenomenological theories of embodied experience and the mimetic faculty, the article suggests that intersectionality can be understood as embodied experience. Following this thinking embodiment is radically conditioned as well as a site of agency. This has implications for the understanding of structures, agency as well as their interrelation.
Media Representation of Women Politicians from a Gender to an Intersectionality Perspective
Authors: Fiig Christina
Published: August 2018

Media Representations of Women Politi- cians from a Gender to an Intersectionality Perspective. This article investigates media representation from a perspective of intersectionality defined as one that deconstructs the category ‘woman’ by looking at different social divisions such as class, ethnicity, gender, race and sexuality. An intersectionality perspective is constructive in broadening the debate on the media as a powerful political site for different groups of men and women politicians. The analytical point of the article is that a perspective of intersectionality deepens the understanding of the ways that the media organize power through stereotypical representation and homogenization of social categories.
Fra køn til diversitet – intersektionalitet i en dansk/nordisk kontekst
Authors: Christensen Ann-Dorte , Siim Birte
Published: August 2018

Intersectionality is a travelling concept rooted in Black Feminism that has recently been adopted by Nordic gender research. The concept has been transformed on its way from the US to the Danish/Nordic context. The purpose with this article is to contribute to a critical reflection of the concept and discuss its potentials from a Danish/Nordic context. Adopting a social science optic we first discuss some tensions between the original American understanding of the concept and the special – predominantly poststructural and postcolonial  conceptualisation given in the Danish/ Nordic context. Secondly we present two analytical frames able to analyse the dynamic interaction between different forms of power and between structures, institutions and identities. We argue that  intersectionality is not a coherent theory but a new perspective able to contain different and competing theoretical and methodological approaches.
Intersektionalitet – udsat for teoretisk justering
Authors: Staunæs Dorthe , Søndergaard Dorte Marie
Published: August 2018

Is the concept of intersectionality constructive? In relation to what, who, and where will it be constructive? Does the concept demand a research focus upon certain minoritized groups or is it possible to use the concept in analysing both minoritized and majoritized groups? Is the concept an answer to a longing for complexity or is it rather a way to reduce subjectification into mechanistic and rather inflexible structures? How are phenomena such as ‘corporate masculinity’ and ‘coaching leadership’ related to the further work on the concept? The article discusses such questions through theoretical reflections on power, metaphors and agency and through empirical material from the research project Diversity, Gender and Top Management and it offers a retooled conceptualisation of intersectionality as a transgressive methodology on messy spaces of becoming. The article reflects how such  conceptualization of intersectionality is constrained by the discipline of social psychology and it discusses the troubles connected with the reworking of concepts.

"Jeg er kvinde" - Kroppen som baggrund i "Det andet køn"
Authors: Moi Tori
Published: August 2018

The article discusses the possibilities of writing theory as a woman without neglecting the claims of the female body. Through a close reading of The Second Sex the author discusses the possibilities of situationg the body as either background or foreground depending on the situation of enunciation. Following Beauvoir's analyses the article concludes that while in some situations the fact of sex will be less important than the fact of class or race, in other situations it will not. The oppression of women consist in the compulsory foregrounding of the female body at all times, wether it is relevant or irrelevant to the task in the hand.
Posthumane visioner: En postkønnet eller kvindelige cyberkultur?
Authors: Lykke Nina
Published: August 2018

The article is a discussion of two cyberfeminists, Donna Haraway and Sadie Plant, and their innovative posthuman approaches to feminist decontruction of the masculine connotations of cyberculture. The author compares Haraway's cyborg-figure that represents a post-gender, post-origin and post-nature position to the alliance of women and machines, promoted by Plant, who, inspired by Luce Irigaray, attempts to inscribe an embodied feminine subject in cyberspace and trace a digital écriture féminine. In conclusion the article profiles the posthuman approaches of Haraway and Plant with the humanist critique of the social relations of gender, culture and technology, which is articulated in a "cyborg"-novel by Dorrit Willumsen "Programmeret til kærlighed" (Programmed to Love) (1981).
De læste og læsende køn - refleksioner over køn, litteratur og undervisning
Authors: Knudsen Susanne V.
Published: August 2018

The article discusses three different tendencies of research in gender and literature. These are presented as sex, referring to the way we categorise women and men as biological beings; gender as construction; and deconstrudtion of gender binaries. These tendencies are applied to theories of aeshetic responses as Wolfgang Iser presents them in his book "The Act of Reading". Iser's focus on reading ad projection has inspired the author to improve three different tendencies of research on gender and literature. Throghout the article reflects on the use gender in reading and teaching literature; it offers no simple answer, but more possibilities.
Mor Rusland - tur retur: mellem husmødre og kannibaler
Authors: Bryld Mette
Published: August 2018

The belief in women's "natural" predisposition to motherhood and domesticity was drastically strenghtened during the period of perestrojka, which has been characterized by Russian democratic feminists as "basically a male project". After the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the proclamation of a new Russia, the ongoing search for a national identity continued to nourish what was imagined to be a stable identity, i.e. a female body with a gender-specific mission. So magically promising did this bonding appear that, in 1995, it even influenced the naming of the political party of Prime Minister Chernomyrdin: "Our Home is Russia" ("Nash dom - Rossija"), which clearly links the vision of national identity to the femininity of mothering, nuturing and caring. Behind this image hovers the representation of the Soviet Union as a fallen woman. The article shows how some women internalize the paradigm of the new "mother nation" by constructing prostitutes, homeless women, lesbians, or even unfaithful wives as Soviet "others"; sometimes this deviant is so explicitly ostracized that she is situated beyond the borders, i.e. in the West (or simply in "Europe", i.e. non-Russia). However, this discourse of pathetic and nostalgic womanhood does not stand alone; it is countered by subversive self-representations of domesticity and maternity such as cannibalistic chaos and death (e.g. L. Petrushevskaya's The time - night.) I suggest that both strategies, each in their own way, mirror the collapsing cultural identities which make up the present period of "transition".
De unge og fremtidens ligestillingspolitik
Authors: Christensen Ann-Dorte
Published: August 2018

This article discusses the attitude of the young generation towards the question of equal opportunities and social equality in the welfare state. There is a rather large polarization between young women and men as regards their attitudes towards the welfare state. While young women support collectivism and public care, young men express more individualistic, neo-liberal attitudes. But, this polarization is apparently not to be found in the attitudes towards equal opportunities policies: both young men and young women agree, for instance, that discrimination against women does take place. In the second part of the article I argue that it is necessary to develop an active and differentiated equal opportunities strategy for young people. On the one hand, there is a tendency among men and women in their early youth (15-20 years) encounter and negotiate more or less traditional gender relations in the labour market and the family. This demands an attentive and socially aware policy, reflecting the positions of young women and men as gender-specific individuals on their way to create an adult life both in their families and on the labour market.

Insurgent Vulnerability and the Carbon Footprint of Gender
Authors: Alaimo Stacy
Published: August 2018

Gendered stances, styles, practices, and modesof thought permeate the representations of the science of climate change, the activist response to climate change, and modes of consumerism responsible for releasing massive quantities of carbon into the atmosphere. This article critiques two predominant forms of masculinity - the masculinity of aggressive consumption that has increased the carbon footprint of the U.S. and the free-floating, transcendent perspective presented by the official U.S. accounts of climate change. The article argues that a stance of ‘insurgent vulnerability' counters the sense of enclosed imperviousness proffered by both masculinist consumerism and abstract technological perspectives. It concludes with a note of caution about the term ‘vulnerability' which may reinforce gender dichotomies, heteronormativity, and the reduction of the environment to a ‘resource'.

Den listige jomfru - En dekonstruktion af Charlotte Dorothea Biehls komedie "Den listige Optrækkerske"
Authors: Sanderhoff Rikke
Published: August 2018

Charlotte Dorothea Biehl was one of the most productive Danish writers in the 18th century. Furthermore, she was the only female novelist of her time who managed to make a living by writing. She has been highly disregarded throughout this century despite her exceptional position in Danish literary history. Through a literary deconstruction of the comedy "Den listige Optrækkerske", this article demonstrates to what great extent Biehl criticized contemporary gender ideas. Also, Biehl renewed the comedy genre through the way she chosed to end "Den listige Optrækkerske". All this makes Biehl and her work an interesting chapter, not only in women's literary history, but in Danish literary history in general.

Grænsekontrol - når ikke-heteroseksuelle søger asyl i Danmark
Authors: Drud-Jensen Mads Ted , Knudsen Sune Prahl
Published: August 2018

The question of sexuality has not received much attention in migration studies, and (non-hetero)sexuality in relation to asylum has not previously been addressed in a Danish academic context. Drawing from Michel Foucault’s notions of power and governmentality as well as postcolonial theory and its focus on othering and culturalization/racialization, this article explores processes of subjectification of asylumseekers and processes of objectification and regulation of non-heterosexuality through the technologies of what is analytically constructed and signified as the migration apparatus. These processes (re)produce dominant notions of sexuality and culture/ race.
Køn og kærlighed i 3F - nye perspektiver på ligestilling i fagbevægelsen
Authors: Hansen Lise Lotte
Published: August 2018

Love and Gender in 3F – new perspectives on gender equality in the labour movement In the article I argue for the necessity of (also) conceptualizing gender as produced, reproduced and transformed through love. This love is neither romantic nor physical, but a metaphor for meanings and practices which contribute to the making of gender equality in the Danish trade union 3F. From Rösing’s re-reading of de Beauvoir I develop the concept of ‘exchange’ as a way to create room for a multiplicity of gender and other experiences. Acknowledging that gender inequality is embedded in the organization, democracy, leadership, and ideology of the labour movement I add the idea of participation policies building on Fraser’s theory of justice. This perspective reveals how important the exchange both as the actual ‘positive dialogue’ between individuals and as participation policies has been for the making of gender equality in the five 3F branches. And furthermore, that the absence of exchange and a narrow understanding of gender equality do not lead to parity in participation but to the reproduction of gender stereotypes.
Når 'den gode medarbejder' er maskulint konnoteret. Køn og positioner i lønsamtaler
Authors: Andersen Pernille Tanggaard , Bloksgaard Lotte
Published: August 2018

The article sheds light on how negotiations concerning gender take place in modern day work places where the discourse about equality of gender having been achieved is widely accepted. The article also unveils how the concept of equality of gender is redefined, e.g. in connection with the formation and utilisation of criteria concerning individual reward and salary negotiations. The article focuses on the impacts of gender neutrality by observing how employees and executives in 4 companies (Andersen & Bloksgaard 2004) talk about and use terms like ‘man’, ‘woman’ and ‘the good employee’. On this basis, organization, gender, work and work practices are analyzed.

Kønsforskellens monstrøsitet - Kønsbarrierer i Akademia, et ugyldigt problem

The article discusses the problem of gender barriers in Danish Academia suggesting that this might not be a problem at all or at least not a problem pre-existing interpretations of it. By using a discourse-oriented approach to the problem, the article shows how gender barriers become an invalid problem in Academia - leaving attempts to solve the problem illegitimate or even incomprehensible.
Forskningstraditioner krydser deres spor - Kvalitative og kvantitative socio-kulturelle empiriske forskningsmetoder
Authors: Henningsen Inge , Søndergaard Dorte Marie
Published: August 2018

The article takes up the discussion about qualitative and quantitative research methods as ostensibly incopatible approaches to empirical studies - an understanding which is broadly disseminated within a range of academic disciplines. The authors trouble this dualistic understanding through concrete discussions of methodological approaches conducted by as well qualitatively as quantitatively oriented reseachers. It is argued, that difference and potential incompatibility must be seen in relation to the metatheoretical basis for the studies and thereby in relation to the research ambitions, in which the studies are involved.

Unge innvandrermenn, kriminalitet og kjønnskultur
Authors: Prieur Annick
Published: August 2018

Considerable differences regarding gender relations exist between the native Norwegian population and immigrants. The article raises the question whether such differences may influence criminal acts commited by some young, male immigrants. Based upon a discussion of the difficulties of a cultural explanation, the author argues that these young men's attitudes and practices regarding gender performance and relations cannot be seen as deriving from their parents, but should be understood as a new response to a new and complex situation. Stressing honour, comradeship and the male body as a force , these new subcultural expressions have much in common with other male working-class cultures, and may be as influenced by contemporary American youth cultures as by Pakistani or Turkish village cultures.
Think twice! Grænser og kategorier i opbrud
Authors: Staunæs Dorthe
Published: August 2018

The Danish research on ethnic minorities have often been based on the "Great Narrative of Worridness". A narrative included with inapropriated and problematic others, as passive objects of marginalization. By "thinking twice" on several levels the article challenges this approach and makes it possible to present new representations of young asylumseekers. The text is based on a researchproject, where the traditional distinction between researcher and researched was blurred. Young asylumseekers cooperated as co-researchers and shot approximately 2500 picturesof their lives in a refugeecamp. Despites institutionalization the pictures and the way of doing coresearch showed new developments in the young asylumseekers lifepossibilities, practices and identities, and demonstrated how these possibilities, practices and identities constitutes and are beeing constituted by gendered ethnicities and ethnic genders. The way of croissing borders and desturing closed categories as "asylumseekers" and "ethnic other" turns our very differently depending on the positions as male or female. The article argues that the development of (self)representations and practices challanging the processes of othering are (political) survivalstrategies for young "ethnic others" living in an extrem position of marginalization.

Practices of Childcare in Urban China - The Making of Competent Mothering in Beijing
Authors: Breengaard Michala Hvidt
Published: August 2018

Over the past decades, China's one-child policy and broader modernization project has paved the way for scientific approaches to childcare. While the emphasis on expert-led childcare promotes new practices of mothering, it also acts as a differential between those who are able to carry out these practices and those who are not. Taking its point of departure in the concept of intersectionality and in post-structural theories of subjectification, this article explores how mothers and child professionals in contemporary Beijing draw boundaries between those considered competent and incompetent in childcare. By analysing their stories on infant feeding, the article finds that older generations and rural people are demarcated as lacking new knowledge and thereby positioned as incompetent, while well-educated mothers are positioned as highly competent. However, the article also suggests that these positions are not stable but contain potentials for transformation.
Bringing Gender in - Women and Corruption in China.
Authors: Wang Qi , Min Dongchao
Published: August 2018

This article deals with women and corruption in China. The aim is to bring gender in and to make good the lack of focus on gender in studies of corruption in China. The article outlines different forms of female involvement in corruption, introduces various theories of corruption, and elaborates on the relevance of these theories in explaining and understanding the role of gender in the case of corruption in China. The article also proposes a theory of chaotic capital/resource acquisition as a supplement and discusses the potential of this theory in accounting for the role of women in corruption, whether as government officials or as the mistresses and wives (family members) of corrupt male officials.
Utøya rører dig i hjertet - om hvidhed, nationalisme og nordiskhed
Authors: Nielsen Asta Smedegaard
Published: August 2018

From analyses of newscasts and interviews with journalists, the article studies how affective orientations in relation to the 22 July terror and its victims entail constant displacements of the represented ’us’. Through the affective work of mourning, compassion and disbelief it moves between representations of whiteness, Nordicness, Danishness/Norwegianness, and humanity in general. This involves strategies to ward off that a common white Nordicness, embodied by Breivik, can work to make ’us’ alike him. By separating ’the Danish’ from ’the Norwegian’ the terror is upheld as a purely Norwegian problem. And by the inclusion of non-white bodies, whiteness is erased as something that could represent ’us’. I suggest that this work is partly driven by the reinstatement of proper masculinities as the nation’s representatives obstructing Breivik’s claim to act in defence of the nation. In spite of this critical reading the article does spot some openings that mourning and compassion can work in an inclusionary way, in terms of giving way to a common humanity being demarcated by the evil of a traumatic act, as the 22 July terror.
“Grænsekrydser, backstabber og opportunist”: Praksisbaseret etik som intimt grænsearbejde
Authors: Jørgensen Kristian Møller
Published: August 2018

“Boundary crossing, backstabbing opportunist”: Practice based ethics as intimate boundary work. The mediatisation of more and more aspects of everyday life presents ethnography with specific ethical challenges. The Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR) recommends to rely less on procedural ethics and instead to adopt practice based ethics. As part of a turn to such practicebased ethics, the classical concept of ‘practical judgment’ has re-emerged, but due to the relative lack of work in this field, it remains unclear how it is to be practiced and evaluated in digital media saturated contexts. Addressing this vacuum, and drawing from theories of intimacy and affect, I offer the notion of ‘intimate boundary work’ as an analytical approach to conceptualizethe practical judgment that mediatized contexts involve. I show that the notion of intimate boundary work allows for rich descriptions and analyses of the practical judgments engaged in by both researcher and participants in media ethnographic fieldwork. Based on fieldwork among gay men using locative ‘hook-up apps’, two moments of practical judgment are explored, focusing on the ethical tensions between data and person, public and private, anonymizationand access, and built vs. media environmental presence.

The use of personal ornaments by Neandertals is one of the scarce evidence of their symbolic behaviour. Among them stand up the eagle talons used presumably as pendants, in an analogous way than anatomically Modern Humans (Homo sapiens) did. Considering the broad range and time scale of Neandertals distribution across Eurasia, this phenomenon seems to be concentrated in a very specific area of Southwestern-Mediterranean Europe during a span of ca. 80 ka. Here we present the analysis of one pedal phalange of a large eagle recovered in Foradada cave site, Spain. Our research confirms the use of eagle talons as symbolic elements in Iberia, expanding geographically and temporally one of the most common evidence of symbolic behaviour among western European Neandertals. The convergence in use of large raptor talons as symbolic elements by one of the last Neandertal populations raises the survival of some cultural elements of the Middle Paleolithic into beginnings of the Upper Paleolithic.
Analytical Solutions of Eddy-Current Problems in a Finite Length Cylinder
Authors: Zhilichev Y.
Published: August 2018

Magnetic field and eddy currents in a cylinder of finite length are calculated by separation of variables. The magnetic field outside the cylinder or inside the bore of the hollow cylinder and shell is expressed in terms of Bessel functions. Both axial and transverse applied fields are considered for the solid and hollow cylinders. The equations for the vector potential components are transformed in one-dimensional equations along the radial coordinate with the consequent integration   by the method of variation of parameters. The equation for the scalar electric potential when required is also integrated analytically. Expressions for the magnetic moment and loss are derived. An alternative analytical solution in terms of scalar magnetic potential is derived for the finite length thin shells. All formulas are validated by the comparison with the solutions by finite–element and finite-difference methods.
Smokeless tobacco use: pattern of use, knowledge and perceptions among rural Bangladeshi adolescents

Published: August 2018

Background

The aim of the study was to investigate the practice and pattern of smokeless tobacco (SLT) use as well as the knowledge and perception about its ill effects among rural Bangladeshi adolescents.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey was conducted among students aged 13–18 years in two rural secondary schools in Bangladesh in August 2015. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire which consists of topics derived from the Social Cognitive Theory and Health Belief Model (personal characteristics, environmental factors, self-efficacy, outcome expectancies, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and cues to action). Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 24. A descriptive analysis was conducted to determine the current pattern of SLT use and knowledge about its ill effects. A chi-square test and Fisher exact test were conducted to explore associations between variables. Lastly, a logistic regression model was used to locate the predictors for current SLT use.

Results

A total of 790 students participated in the study. Among them, 9.5% (75) had used SLT at least once and 3.7% (29) were current SLT users. Males had a higher incidence of SLT use compared with females. The majority of students (77.3%) initiated SLT use between 10–13 years of age. ‘Zarda’ was the most common type of SLT used and most of the current users (86%) were able to buy SLT without age restrictions. Most of the current users (90%) wanted to quit SLT immediately; however, professional help was not available in schools. Overall, students had a good knowledge about the harmful effects of SLT with 54.8% (428) of respondents scoring in the good knowledge category. However, the majority of never SLT users (55.4%; 396) had a good knowledge compared to ever SLT users (42.7%; 32). Significant predictors of current SLT use included being a student aged 14 years and above (OR = 6.58, 95% CI [2.23–28.31]) as well as the variables of self-efficacy (OR = 5.78, 95% CI [1.46–19.65]), perceived barriers (OR = 0.30, 95% CI [0.10–0.74]), perceived benefit (OR = 0.21, 95% CI [0.05–1.03]) and perceived severity (OR = 0.36, 95% CI [0.16–0.91]).

Discussion

This study demonstrates the need for comprehensive prevention and control programme in rural schools targeting young adolescents. Effective measure should be taken to reshape the attitude of rural adolescents towards self-confidence and competence, as to prevent SLT use.
Dimensional regularization vs methods in fixed dimension with and without γ5
Authors: Bruque A. M. , Cherchiglia A. L. , Pérez-Victoria M.
Published: August 2018

Abstract

We study the Lorentz and Dirac algebra, including the antisymmetric ϵ tensor and the γ
5 matrix, in implicit gauge-invariant regularization/renormalization methods defined in fixed integer dimensions. They include constrained differential, implicit and four-dimensional renormalization. We find that these fixed-dimension methods face the same difficulties as the different versions of dimensional regularization. We propose a consistent procedure in these methods, similar to the consistent version of regularization by dimensional reduction.
Hearing preservation in children with electric-acoustic stimulation after cochlear implantation
Authors: Rader T. , Bohnert A. , Matthias C. , Koutsimpelas D. , Kainz M-A. , Strieth S.
Published: August 2018

Background

Cochlear implantation in patients with functional residual low-frequency hearing is performed according to an established hearing-preserving surgical technique in order to cause minimal trauma of inner ear structures. Due to the increasing number of cochlear implants in children, the preservation of residual hearing is becoming increasingly important in this patient collective.

Objectives

Short- and mid-term hearing preservation outcome in pediatric patients is investigated.

Materials and methods

A group of 9 children (12 ears) between 5 and 12 years of age were examined after hearing-assisted cochlear implantation with respect to the pure tone audiometric thresholds. Retrospectively, short-term hearing preservation (up to 3 months after surgery) was examined. In a subgroup of 5 children, mid-term hearing preservation (7.5 to 16 months after surgery) was also analyzed. The mean values of hearing preserved (HL%) and hearing loss (HL) due to electrode insertion were calculated as measured values.

Results

In the whole group, the mean values of the preoperative PTAlow were 29.8 dB and the short-term postoperative PTAlow 42.6 dB. The mean value of the HL% was 73.6%, corresponding to an HL of 9.4 dB. In the subgroup, the mean PTAlow postoperatively was 46.0 dB in the mid-term and the HL% at 80.7% with a HL of 6.6 dB.

Conclusions

The results in children are consistent with the results in adults. Electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS) should be used in the treatment of children with existing low-frequency residual hearing, as good residual hearing preservation can also be achieved in children after implantation.
