Paradigm shift in France in the medical care of children with genital development variations: Medical care for children with genital development variations in France.

In 2021, for the first time, a legal framework organizing the care of children with a variation in genital development (VGD), sometimes referred to as "intersex children" or "children with differences in sex development" (DSD), was introduced in France (article L. 2131-6 of the Code of Public Health). It should be immediately apparent that the chosen term, "variation" rather than "anomalies" or "disorders" - which was previously used in the medical world - reflects a political will to renew both the way of thinking and the medical practices in this field.

Dataset of chemical and near-infrared spectroscopy measurements of fresh and dried poultry and cattle manure.

Combined with multivariate calibration methods, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a non-destructive, rapid, precise and inexpensive analytical method to predict chemical contents of organic products. Nevertheless, one practical limitation of this approach is that performance of the calibration model may decrease when the data are acquired with different spectrometers. To overcome this limitation, standardization methods exist, such as the piecewise direct standardization (PDS) algorithm.
