Penis as Risk: A Queer Phenomenology of Two Swedish Transgender Women's Narratives on Gender Correction
Authors: Bremer Signe 
Published: September 2013

Based on narratives from two transgender women with experiences of undergoing a Swedish gender correction, this article offers important insights in a cultural context situated in a time and space when Sweden's transgender population was legally obligated to leave their reproductive capabilities behind, and if married divorce, as they struggled for legal gender recognition (the rigid legal terms being newly abolished from the law in 2013). I argue that ‘real’ preoperative transgender women are expected to be well-behaved, modest, and sexually passive, in line with the white, middleclass standard of respectable femininity that informs the obligatory psychiatric assessment required to alter legal sex. Such respectability is intimately bound to the cultural genealogy of the penis of flesh. Ideas of original, non-performative, sexually active, white and superior masculinity clings to the penis of flesh, just as the penis of flesh always sticks to its history – the phallus. As a result transgender women who desire legal gender recognition but not genital surgery are positioned within the sphere of the unthinkable, uninhabitable, unintelligible and less human. Thus, I argue, the penis, and transgender women's acceptance of it, becomes a risk.Swedish authorities have been consistent in requiring vaginoplasty as obligatory terms for transgender women's legal gender recognition. Importantly, transgender men do not face these conditions. They have the possibility to be legally acknowledged as male without undergoing genital surgery. Thus, I ask: What alternatives do transgender women who undergo Swedish psychiatric gender assessments have for articulating and embodying alternative forms of femininity?

Alain Blanc, Deux adjectifs en -ερος (μαλερός, πέρπερος).
Ι. Μαλερός, qui est dans l'Iliade épithète du feu, a été ou bien rapproché de l'adverbe μάλα et traduit par «fort, violent», ou bien rattaché au verbe μαραίνω, et on l'a alors traduit par «faisant périr, dévastateur». On montre que le sens « brillant, etincelant » est partout possible et qu'il faut rattacher cet adjectif à la base *μαρ- de μαρμαίρω « briller » en posant une dissimilation *μαρερός > μαλερος.
Π. Πέρπερος est traduit en général par «vantard, fanfaron» et comme il n'apparaît qu'à partir de Polybe, on en a souvent fait un emprunt au latin (cf. l'adverbe perperam). En étudiant ses dérivés on démontre ici qu'il se réfère à l'apparence que l'on se donne et qu'il doit être rattaché à πρεπω «se distinguer», la forme primitive, *πρέπερος, étant passée à πέρπερος par interversion de -ρε- en -ερ-.
Des sources pour étudier la Terreur blanche

Available Sources for the Study of the White Terror.
Sources concerning the White Terror are scattered all over the world. Russian archives are probably the most useful. In France, a large range of documents allows us to overcome the traditional belief, which examines the phenomenon as a whole series of improvised excesses in very troubled times, neither intentional nor agreed by the High Command. Records of the small government of the White général Judeni and Memoirs of emigrated anti-Bolshevik Russians lead us to consider that the White Command set up almost everywhere an ill-organized military-judicial system to exterminate Bolsheviks and even unarmed exassociates of the Soviet power. Some members of the White movement regretted an ordinary terror. Even local independent White satraps might have established an effective repression. When they rejected the White rule, moderate socialists became the witnesses to the White Terror, using testimonies as propaganda. French army officers, which helped the White armies, saw this repression and sometimes, while using espionnage, discovered some of the wheels of the White Terror. It included a large spectrum of victims that widely overcame the narrow circle of Bolsheviks.

• Premise of the study: Three species of the mangrove tree genus Rhizophora are found in the New World and along the west coast of Africa. Of these, R. mangle is the most abundant and has a complex interbreeding relationship with the sympatric R. racemosa and R. harrisonii. The development of additional microsatellite markers would permit paternity analyses and investigation of the hybrid origin of these species.• Methods and Results: Using an enriched library method, via hybridization with biotinylated oligonucleotides complementary to repetitive poly AG/TC, primers for 11 microsatellite markers of R. mangle were developed and characterized in populations in Pará and São Paulo (Brazil) and Florida (USA). Ten of these markers were transferable to R. racemosa and R. harrisonii.• Conclusions: The microsatellite markers presented here will be useful in studies of contemporary and historical gene flow between American and West African Rhizophora species.

Authors: Gaskin John F. , Hufbauer Ruth A. , Bogdanowicz Steven M. 
Published: September 2013

• Premise of the study: Microsatellite markers were developed for the plant species Elaeagnus angustifolia to assist in future investigations of genetic variability in its native and invasive ranges and the precise origins of the United States/Canada invasion.• Methods and Results: Eleven polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed. The number of alleles observed for each locus ranged from three to 11.• Conclusions: These microsatellites have sufficient potential variability to define population structure and origins of the Russian olive invasion.

Background Previous small studies have reported favorable results of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in the setting of chronic refractory heart failure (CRHF). We evaluated the impact of PD in a larger cohort of patients with CHRF where end-stage renal disease was excluded. Methods All patients who received PD therapy for CRHF between January 1995 and December 2010 in two medical centers in France were included in this retrospective study. Baseline characteristics were compared with clinical parameters during the first year after initiation of PD. Mortality, safety, and sustainability of PD were also analyzed. Results The 126 patients included had a mean age of 72 ± 11 years and an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 33.5 ± 15.1 mL/min/1.73 m2. Mean time on PD was 16 ± 16.6 months. During the first year, patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 30% or less experienced improvement in cardiac function (30% ± 10% vs 20% ± 6%, p < 0.0001). We observed a significant reduction in the number of days of hospitalization for acute decompensated heart failure after PD initiation (3.3 ± 2.6 days/patient–month vs 0.3 ± 0.5 days/patient–month, p < 0.0001). One-year mortality was 42%. Conclusions In CRHF, PD significantly reduces the number of days of hospitalization for acute heart failure. Improved LVEF may have led to the comparatively good 1-year survival in this cohort.

ABSTRACTIntroductionPreeclampsia is a disease of trophoblastic tissue. it is a complex clinical syndrome involving multiple organ systems and still remains the principle cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The search for an ideal predictive test is still on, and preventive measures for preeclampsia remain a challenging entity.Aims and objectives:1. To examine the relation between placental location and development of preeclampsia.2. To study the pregnancy outcome in terms of mode of delivery and birth weight of all babies.Research questionDoes lateral placentation on ultrasonography at 20 to 24 weeks of gestation predict development of preeclampsia?A detailed demographic history, gravidity, parity, history of abruption placenta, hypertension, preeclampsia, IUD, gestational diabetes were taken. General examination, including weight, blood pressure, vital signs was done. Detailed obstetric examination was done.Ultrasonography was done for all women between 20 and 24 weeks of gestation, and placenta was classified as central when it was between the RT and LT side of uterus irrespective of being anterior, posterior or fundal. When 75% or more of placenta was on one side of midline, it was classified as lateral.All women with central and lateral placenta were followed up till development of preeclampsia as per ACOG guidelines and later till delivery to see the outcome of pregnancy.ObservationsWhile recruiting, there was no bias on low-risk and high-risk groups but, at the end of the study, we found 182 women with high-risk factors and 281 women with low-risk factors.A total of 71 pregnant women developed preeclampsia, of whom 52/71 (73.23%) had laterally situated placenta. This relationship seems to be significant. There was no relation of placental position and mode of delivary. The cesarean rate was 26.78% and normal delivaries being 73.21%. Of the cesareans, 76 (16.41%) were having centrally located placenta and 48 (10.36%) had laterally located placenta.In our study, the sensitivity was 75, specificity was 81, the positive predictive value was 48 and the negative predictive value was 96.ConclusionAs yet, there is no practical, acceptable and reliable method for screening for preeclampsia that has been thoroughly tested and tried.In view of the results of our study, ultrasonography in pregnant woman during 20 to 24 weeks of gestation can be a easy, noninvasive, useful and cost-effective tool as a predictor of preeclampsia.How to cite this articleBhalerao AV, Kulkarni S, Somalwar S.

CONTRACCIONES Y PROPIEDADES FÍSICAS DE ACACIA MANGIUM, TECTONA GRANDIS Y TERMINALIA AMAZONIA, MADERAS DE PLANTACIÓN EN COSTA RICA
Authors: Muñoz-Acosta Freddy , Moreno-Perez Pablo A. 
Published: September 2013

De acuerdo con las normas ASTM D 2395-02 y D 143-94, se determinó la contracción total y normal en dirección radial (CR), tangencial (CT) y volumétrica (CV) y el coeficiente CT/ CR total y normal de Acacia mangium Willd., Tectona grandis L. f. y Terminalia amazonia A. Chev, maderas provenientes de plantación. También se determinaron algunas propiedades físicas como peso específico básico (PEB), PE12% y PEanhidro, densidad verde (DV) y normal (DN), punto de saturación de la fibra (PSF) y contenido de humedad (CH). Algunos criterios de clasificación, propuestos por otros investigadores, se aplicaron para categorizar la estabilidad dimensional y propiedades físicas de estas especies. Se encontró que la CR, CT, CV totales y CTtotal/CRtotal tienen diferencias significativas entre especies, al igual que las propiedades físicas PEB y PSF. El índice CTtotal/CRtotal indicó que T. grandis tiene mejor estabilidad dimensional. La relación lineal (R2= 0.7769) indicó que el PSF es un buen indicador de la magnitud de la CVtotal. Las especies de plantación de este estudio comparadas con las del bosque natural tienen estabilidad dimensional similar pero menor PEB.

Context The Organ Donor Breakthrough Collaborative recommended high-leverage changes including “master effective requesting.” Objective To measure who approaches decedent families to request organ donation and to determine whether trained specialists will solicit authorization at equal frequency regardless of donor characteristics. Methods Retrospective analysis of data from 2006 to 2009 in an organ center's donor database. Decedents were stratified into 2 groups: those that met the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network's eligible death criteria (ED donors) and those that did not (not eligible death [NED] donors). Results Of decedents whose families were approached for authorization, 46% were ED donors and 54% were NED donors. Trained specialists solicited authorization from 76% of the total population but were more likely to solicit authorization from ED donors than NED donors (86% vs 68%, P < .001). Trained specialists were more likely to solicit authorization from donors whose cause of death was overrepresented in ED donors and donors less than 50 years old. Trained specialists were more likely than others to obtain authorization from families of all donors. Multivariable modeling demonstrated that having a trained specialist approach the decedent's family was associated with the highest odds of obtaining authorization. Conclusions Trained specialists approached most families of decedents for authorization, but disproportionately approached fewer families of NED donors. Having a trained specialist approach the decedent family has the strongest impact on obtaining donor authorization. These data suggest that fewer resources are allocated to NED donors, which may adversely affect the supply of deceased donor organs.

AbstractRenewable energy production may offer advantages to human health by way of less pollution and fewer climate‐change associated ill‐health effects. Limited data suggests that renewable energy will also offer benefits to workers in the form of reduced occupational injury, illness and deaths. However, studies of worker safety and health in the industry are limited. The Mountain and Plains Education and Research Center (MAP ERC) Energy Summit held in April 2011 explored issues concerning worker health and safety in the renewable energy industry. The limited information on hazards of working in the renewable energy industry emphasizes the need for further research. Two basic approaches to guiding both prevention and future research should include: (1) applying lessons learned from other fields of occupational safety and health, particularly the extractive energy industry; and (2) utilizing knowledge of occupational hazards of specific materials and processes used in the renewable energy industry.

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo determine the incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) over 1 year in Latino poultry processing workers.MethodsSymptoms and nerve conduction studies were used to identify Latino poultry processing workers (106 wrists) and Latinos in other manual labor occupations (257 wrists) that did not have CTS at baseline, and these individuals were then evaluated in the same manner 1 year later.ResultsBased on wrists, the 1‐year incidence of CTS was higher in poultry processing workers than non‐poultry manual workers (19.8% vs. 11.7%, P = 0.022). Poultry workers had a higher odds (1.89; P = 0.089) of developing CTS over 1 year compared to non‐poultry manual workers.DiscussionLatino poultry processing workers have an incidence of CTS that is possibly higher than Latinos in other manual labor positions. Latino poultry workers' high absolute and relative risk of CTS likely results from the repetitive and strenuous nature of poultry processing work. Am. J. Ind.

Published: August 2013

ABSTRACTHuman obesity is a growing epidemic throughout the world. Body mass index (BMI) is commonly used as a good indicator of obesity. Body adiposity index (BAI = hip circumference (cm)/stature (m)1.5 − 18), as a new surrogate measure, has been proposed recently as an alternative to BMI. This study, for the first time, compares BMI and BAI for predicting percent body fat (PBF; estimated from skinfolds) in a sample of 302 Buryat adults (148 men and 154 women) living in China. The BMI and BAI were strongly correlated with PBF in both men and women. The correlation coefficient between BMI and PBF was higher than that between BAI and PBF for both sexes. For the linear regression analysis, BMI better predicted PBF in both men and women; the variation around the regression lines for each sex was greater for BAI comparisons. For the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the area under the ROC curve for BMI was higher than that for BAI for each sex, which suggests that the discriminatory capacity of the BMI is higher than the one of BAI. Taken together, we conclude that BMI is a more reliable indicator of PBF derived from skinfold thickness in adult Buryats. Am J Phys Anthropol 152:294–299, 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
No evidence for sex biases in milk macronutrients, energy, or breastfeeding frequency in a sample of filipino mothers
Authors: Quinn Elizabeth A. 
Published: August 2013

ABSTRACTMaternal reproductive investment includes both the energetic costs of gestation and lactation. For most humans, the metabolic costs of lactation will exceed those of gestation. Mothers must balance reproductive investment in any single offspring against future reproductive potential. Among mammals broadly, mothers may differentially invest in offspring based on sex and maternal condition provided such differences investment influence future offspring reproductive success. For humans, there has been considerable debate if there are physiological differences in maternal investment by offspring sex. Two recent studies have suggested that milk composition differs by infant sex, with male infants receiving milk containing higher fat and energy; prior human studies have not reported sex‐based differences in milk composition. This study investigates offspring sex‐based differences in milk macronutrients, milk energy, and nursing frequency (per 24 h) in a sample of 103 Filipino mothers nursing infants less than 18 months of age. We found no differences in milk composition by infant sex. There were no significant differences in milk composition of mothers nursing first‐born versus later‐born sons or daughters or between high‐ and low‐income mothers nursing daughters or sons. Nursing frequency also showed no significant differences by offspring sex, sex by birth order, or sex by maternal economic status. In the Cebu sample, there is no support for sex‐based differences in reproductive investment during lactation as indexed by milk composition or nursing frequency. Further investigation in other populations is necessary to evaluate the potential for sex‐based differences in milk composition among humans.

Published: August 2013

ABSTRACTThis study reconstructs linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH) prevalence and stress episode duration among Jomon period foragers from Hokkaido, Japan (HKJ). Results are compared to Jomon period samples from coastal Honshu, Japan (HSJ) and Tigara Inupiat from Point Hope, Alaska (PHT) to provide a more comprehensive perspective on the manifestation of stress among circum‐Pacific foragers. LEH were identified macro‐ and microscopically by enamel surface depressions and increased perikymata spacing within defects. Individuals with more than one anterior tooth affected by LEH were labeled as LEH positive. Stress episode durations were estimated by counting the number of perikymata within the occlusal wall of each LEH and multiplying that number by constants reflecting modal periodicities for modern human teeth. LEH prevalence and stress episode duration did not differ significantly between the two Jomon samples. Significantly greater frequencies of LEH were found in HKJ as compared to PHT foragers. However, HKJ foragers had significantly shorter stress episode durations as compared to PHT. This suggests that a greater proportion of HKJ individuals experienced stress episodes than did PHT individuals, but these stress events ended sooner. Similarity in stress experiences between the two Jomon samples and differences between the HKJ and PHT are found. These findings are important for two reasons. First, stress experiences of foraging populations differ markedly and cannot be generalized by subsistence strategy alone. Second, due to significant differences in episode duration, stress experiences cannot be understood using prevalence comparisons alone.
