Background: Gender discrimination of women is often emphasized in work contexts, whereas less focus is on how men are discriminated against in social relationships. Gender discrimination in decisions of family relations, is essential to study as the contact between parent and child is commonly viewed as the most important relationship in people's life, as well as being the most important aspect of our life. Following separations, decisions on custody disputes are made by social workers.

Design: A randomised controlled trial.
Study Sample: Patients at public tax-funded HA clinics in Sweden due for aural rehabilitation (AR) were randomised to either an intervention group (n = 33) or a control group (n = 36).
Article Synopsis
- - Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is a known carcinogen linked to an increased risk of lung cancer, and this study investigates the connection between Cr(VI) exposure and circulating non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in workers.
- - The research included 111 workers exposed to Cr(VI) and 72 controls, analyzing the expression levels of specific long ncRNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) in their plasma, as well as measuring chromium concentrations in their red blood cells and urine.
- - Findings revealed that Cr(VI) exposed workers had significantly lower levels of certain lncRNAs and miRNAs compared to controls, with these lower levels correlating with higher Cr concentrations in
Children are exposed to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) through inhalation and ingestion, as well as through dermal contact in their everyday indoor environments. The dermal loadings of EDCs may contribute significantly to children's total EDC exposure due to dermal absorption as well as hand-to-mouth behaviors. The aim of this study was to measure potential EDCs, specifically halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) and organophosphate esters (OPEs), on children's hands during preschool attendance and to assess possible determinants of exposure in preschool indoor environments in Sweden.

Methods: This cross-sectional study (SafeChrom) recruited non-smoking men and women from 14 companies with potential Cr(VI) exposure (n = 113) and controls from 6 companies without Cr(VI) exposure (n = 72).
