Parenting Intentions Among Transgender Individuals
PURPOSE: We know very little about how transgender people create their families and the issues involved in these decisions. This qualitative study explored the parenting intentions and desires of 32 self-identified transgender individuals who want to become parents in the future. METHODS: Data were collected using an open-ended survey with 32 transgender men and transgender women regarding when and how they want to become parents in the future. RESULTS: We found that transgender individuals expressed specific desires for parenthood, such as biological relatedness and barriers to parenthood, such as physical limitations or lack of legal protections, which influence how transgender individuals choose to become parents in the future. For example, many participants described wanting to be biologically related to a future child and how this can be complicated by being transgender due to hormonal treatments, surgeries, or not having the biological means of become a parent using "traditional" methods. CONCLUSIONS: The barriers and desires discussed provide invaluable insight into the parenting intentions and reproductive health of transgender people. This study revealed numerous examples where healthcare professionals could benefit from this new knowledge, such as increasing communication with patients about these desires and issues related to treatment and reproduction

Sexual minority women and parenthood: Perceptions of friendship among childfree and new parents
Many individuals experience shifts in their friendship networks after becoming parents. The current study investigated the narratives of how a sample of sixty-six sexual minority women, most of whom do not yet have children but who expect to be parents in the future, perceive the changes in friendship networks following becoming parents. A thematic analysis uncovered three themes: (1) general expectations surrounding future parenthood and friendships; (2) changes in lifestyle and priorities; and (3) LGBTQ + community attachment. Further, the theme of general expectations surrounding future parenthood and friendships was largely represented among lesbian and queer women, while the theme of changes in lifestyle and priorities was predominately represented among lesbian women, and finally, the theme of LGBTQ + community attachment was shared among all sexual minority women in our sample across different sexual identities. We discuss the diversity of shared and non-shared narratives among sexual minority women, the intentionality in how friendship during parenthood is perceived, as well as why some themes were particularly prevalent among women with specific sexual identities

Envisioning future parenthood among bisexual, lesbian, and heterosexual women
For many individuals, becoming a parent is an important milestone. The current study examined attitudes and beliefs about parenting among a sample of 196 self-identified bisexual, lesbian, and heterosexual women. Results showed no differences by sexual orientation for women’s desires and intentions to have children, their idealization of parenthood, and perceptions of their parental self-efficacy (i.e., their ability to care for a child). In contrast, differences did emerge by sexual orientation in aspects such as partner expectations as well as professional intentions (i.e., wanting a permanent position before becoming a parent). Bisexual women tended to anticipate lower partner support compared to heterosexual women. Lesbian women, however, had a greater preference to work full-time during parenthood and wanted a permanent position before becoming a parent compared to both bisexual and heterosexual women. Implications are discussed of how bisexual women’s perceptions of parenthood are both similar to and distinct from lesbian and heterosexual women
Barra de cereal apta para deportistas celÃacos
La celiaquÃa es una enfermedad digestiva crónica caracterizada por una lesión tÃpica de la mucosa del intestino delgado, la cual lleva a una malabsorción de nutrientes. El factor desencadenante lo constituyen
las fracciones del gluten solubles en alcohol, denominadas prolaminas: gliadina del trigo, secalina del centeno, hordeÃna de la cebada y avidina de la avena.
En una dieta deportiva se suministran alimentos para:
proporcionar energÃa, suministrar material para el fortalecimiento y reparación de los tejidos, mantener y regular el metabolismo, por lo cual una barra de cereal es una buena opción como colación.
El objetivo es diseñar una barra de cereal libre de gliadina, de gran aporte calórico, ideal para deportistas celÃacos
Una experiencia de gestión colectiva para el tratamiento de los efluentes en la industria de vino
Las problemáticas relacionadas a la gestión de efluentes de la industria del vino no son exclusivas de nuestra región. También se presenta en paÃses con alternativas tecnológicas adecuadas y polÃticas públicas activas. Ya sea porque los marcos regulatorios resultan más rÃgidos o por una creciente demanda por una producción limpia y por el cuidado del ambiente, en Europa se impone sistemas tecnológicos y sociales para el tratamiento y aprovechamiento de los residuos agroindustriales.EEA San JuanFil: Tornello, Simón.
