Caring for Transgender patients in the ICU: Current insights for equitable care
There is ever more focus on issues surrounding Transgender/Trans people and their healthcare needs, and while there is a dearth of evidence related to Intensive Care, this paper aims to address considerations for ICU nurses when caring for Trans patients. These include both the overall approach to person-centred care for Trans patients as well as the physiological considerations that necessitate nursing interventions
Authentic allyship for gender minorities
The visibility and discussion on the rights and needs of Trans and Non-Binary communities in relation to healthcare have seen growing prominence in recent years. Despite an overall improvement in access to legal protections, civil rights, and in many jurisdictions specialist provision of healthcare for gender minorities, there remain poorer health outcomes in many areas and ongoing experiences of discrimination and transphobia. In this article, we set out the prerogative for nurses to step up as authentic allies for Trans and Non Binary people and put forward strategies to enhance the experience of gender minorities in healthcare through practice, education, and systems change
Ethical considerations for the nursing care of transgender patients in the intensive care unit
There is more discussion than ever surrounding the health and care needs of Transgender communities. However, there is limited research on the care of Transgender patients in the Intensive Care Unit which can contribute to knowledge gaps, inconsistencies and uncertainties surrounding health care practices. This article is not intended to address all of the specific needs of Transgender patients in ICU, but to explore the ethical considerations for caring for a Transgender woman in the ICU. In doing so, this article will explore some specific considerations around gender affirming care, challenging discrimination, physiological changes, and systems change to enhance car
Azimuthal Dependence of the Heavy Quark Initiated Contributions to DIS
We analyze the azimuthal dependence of the heavy-quark-initiated
contributions to the lepton-nucleon deep inelastic scattering (DIS). First we
derive the relations between the parton level semi-inclusive structure
functions and the helicity cross sections in the case of
arbitrary values of the heavy quark mass. Then the azimuth-dependent lepton-quark DIS is calculated in the helicity basis. Finally,
we investigate numerically the properties of the and
distributions caused by the photon-quark scattering (QS) contribution. It turns
out that, contrary to the basic photon-gluon fusion (GF) component, the QS
mechanism is practically -independent. This fact implies that
measurements of the azimuthal distributions in charm leptoproduction could
directly probe the charm density in the proton.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures, revtex4, published versio
Z' Coupling Information from the LHeC
If the LHC discovers a -like state the extraction of its couplings to the
particles of the Standard Model becomes mandatory in order to determine the
nature of the underlying new physics theory. It has been well-known for some
time that the direct measurements performed at the LHC in the Drell-Yan channel
cannot determine these parameters uniquely in a model-independent manner even
if large integrated luminosities, , become available and the
is relatively light \lsim 1.5 TeV. Here we examine the possibility that
a proposed collider upgrade at the LHC, the LHeC, with TeV could be helpful with such coupling determinations in the years
before a Linear Collider is constructed. We show that the polarization and
charge asymmetries constructed from the cross sections for these processes can
be useful in this regard depending upon the specific values of the particular
model parameters.Comment: 16 pages, 9 figs, minor modification
Photoproduction of the charged top-pions at the LHeC
The top triangle moose model, which can be seen as the deconstructed
version of the topcolor-assisted technicolor () model, predicts the
existence of the charged top-pions in low energy spectrum. In
the context of this model, we consider photoproduction of via
the subprocesses and at the large hadron-electron collider (), in which high
energy photon beams are generated by using the Compton backscatting method. We
find that, as long as the charged top-pions are not too heavy, they can be
abundantly produced via collision.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure
Photon Structure and Quantum Fluctuation
Photon structure derives from quantum fluctuation in quantum field theory to
fermion and anti-fermion, and has been an experimentally established feature of
electrodynamics since the discovery of the positron. In hadronic physics, the
observation of factorisable photon structure is similarly a fundamental test of
the quantum field theory Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). An overview of
measurements of hadronic photon structure in e+e- and ep interactions is
presented, and comparison made with theoretical expectation, drawing on the
essential features of photon fluctuation into quark and anti-quark in QCD.Comment: 29 pages, 15 figures, to appear in Philosophical Transactions of the

Seeing motion and apparent motion
In apparent motion experiments, participants are presented with what is in fact a succession of two brief stationary stimuli at two different locations, but they report an impression of movement. Philosophers have recently debated whether apparent motion provides evidence in favour of a particular account of the nature of temporal experience. I argue that the existing discussion in this area is premised on a mistaken view of the phenomenology of apparent motion and, as a result, the space of possible philosophical positions has not yet been fully explored. In particular, I argue that the existence of apparent motion is compatible with an account of the nature of temporal experience that involves a version of direct realism. In doing so, I also argue against two other claims often made about apparent motion, viz. that apparent motion is the psychological phenomenon that underlies motion experience in the cinema, and that apparent motion is subjectively indistinguishable from real motion
