Objective: Governments have announced free menstrual product provision policies. Our research aimed to inform these initiatives by understanding menstrual product insecurity amongst marginalised groups and their recommendations for product provision.
Methods: We undertook in-depth interviews with participants experiencing menstrual product insecurity, who identified as belonging to one or more marginalised groups, alongside key informants working for organisations serving these populations.
We propose new implicit constitutive relations for the heat fluxes of a two-temperature mixture of fluids. These relations are frame-indifferent forms. However, classical explicit forms of the stress tensors and the interaction forces (specified as explicit forms of constitutive relations) as given in mixture theory are used.

By changing a critical active-site tyrosine to serine, FNR's exclusivity for NADP(H) is swapped for unphosphorylated NAD(H). Here we present an electrochemical study of this variant FNR, and show that in addition to the intended inversion of cofactor preference, this change to the active site has altered FNR's tuning of the flavin reduction potential, making it less reductive.

Globally, IPV routine enquiry is used as part of healthcare response to addressing IPV. This paper presents the views of pregnant women (= 40) and providers (= 30) of IPV routine enquiry as part of antenatal care policy in Ireland.
