In this paper I make the following claims. In order to see anthropogenic climate change as clearly involving moral wrongs and global injustices, we will have to revise some central concepts in these domains. Moreover, climate change threatens another value ("respect for nature") that cannot easily be taken up by concerns of global justice or moral responsibility.

Hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is a part of gender reassignment surgery for the treatment of female-to-male transsexualism. Over the last years many efforts were made in order to reduce invasiveness of laparoscopic and robotic surgery such as the introduction of single-site approach. We report our preliminary experience on single-site robotic hysterectomy for cross-sex reassi...

INTRODUCTION There are several techniques for creation of a neovagina in male-to-female reassignment surgery. Although vaginoplasty with the sigmoid colon is not a common procedure, it is becoming more common. Perforation of the recto-sigmoid neovagina after sex reassignment surgery is very rare. We hereby report a case of perforation of the neovagina that presented as acute peritonitis, with a...

Encouraging individuals to take action is important for the overall success of climate change mitigation. Campaigns promoting climate change mitigation could address particular groups of the population on the basis of what kind of mitigation actions the group is already taking. To increase the knowledge of such groups performing similar mitigation actions we conducted a population-based cross-s...

Meta-analyses of gender differences in the consequences of unilateral brain lesions have reported a positive correlation between the percentage of men in studies and the magnitude of the difference between Verbal and Performance IQ. Such findings are limited by both the indirectness of the methodology and the focus on V-P differences rather than on the separate effects of brain lesions on VIQ a...

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Skin tissue dielectric constant (TDC) measurements at 300 MHz provide non-invasive data on free and bound tissue water. TDC-data is available for some body sites, but most is for female forearm. Contrastingly, there are no data on face-skin or comparative data between genders. Our goals were to obtain facial-TDC reference values and determine if TDC-values differ between gend...

Twenty-seven adolescent gender identity patients (10 girls and 17 boys) who presented with transsexual wishes for sex reassignment surgery were the subjects of investigation. The average age of the patients was 16.80 years for the girls (range 13-18) and 16.53 for the boys (range 12-19). A psychiatric, psychological, and social profile of the patients is provided, and follow-up of the patients ...
