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.

Impact of urban pollution on freshwater biofilms: Oxidative stress, photosynthesis and lipid responses.

Urban ecosystems are subjected to multiple anthropogenic stresses, which impact aquatic communities. Artificial light at night (ALAN) for instance can significantly alter the composition of algal communities as well as the photosynthetic cycles of autotrophic organisms, possibly leading to cellular oxidative stress. The combined effects of ALAN and chemical contamination could increase oxidative impacts in aquatic primary producers, although such combined effects remain insufficiently explored.

De-stigmatizing the "win-win:" making sustainable consumption sustainable.

In this article, we review research on the discrepancy between consumers' high self-reported interest in sustainable products and these products' poor performance in the marketplace. We offer theoretically derived reasons for why framing sustainable products as "win-wins" (i.e.

Exploring how product descriptors and packaging colors impact consumers' perceptions of plant-based meat alternative products.

While consumers have been increasingly trying to reduce their meat consumption due to rising concerns about its impact on their health and the environment, many still find animal-based foods more attractive than plant-based foods, thus hindering their adoption. Could marketing cues such as product descriptors and packaging colors help make these products more attractive to consumers? Across two studies, we tested the effects of product descriptors and packaging colors on meat eating consumers' perceptions of, and behavioral intentions toward, plant-based meat alternative products. Study 1 revealed that a "plant-based" (vs.

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.

Understanding the relationship between resource scarcity and object attachment.

People generally respond to resource scarcity through one of two pathways: scarcity-reduction or control-restoration. We draw from recent work on the solidity (versus liquidity) of consumption opportunities to offer a new lens through which to view how the two pathways that follow from resource scarcity relate to object attachment. In this review, we discuss when each pathway predicts stronger (versus weaker) object attachment.
