Narrating self-identity in bisexual motherhood

Our qualitative study investigated the ways in which bisexual mothers came to identify as such and how their identity interconnected with their personal relationship and parenting histories within the social contexts they experienced. Eight women (ages 28 to 56 years old) who had experienced sexual relationships with both women and men over their life span were interviewed. At the time of their interview the participants were mothers to children of various ages from infancy to adulthood. A Labovian narrative analysis was conducted to highlight key points in their understanding of their sense of self in relation to particular social contexts and their story of how they came to identify as a bisexual mother or not. Our findings pointed to involvement in various self-identity projects that were variously integrated and resolved within their life course story, namely, the construction of a positive sexual identity and the development of a romantic relationship and the desire to parent. Our life course development study emphasized sexual self-identity as providing a source of agency and organization with respect to personal development in embracing or sidelining opportunities as these occurred or did not occur within changing social contexts over time

Models of preconception care implementation in selected countries.

Globally, maternal and child health faces diverse challenges depending on the status of the development of the country. Some countries have introduced or explored preconception care for various reasons. Falling birth rates and increasing knowledge about risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes led to the introduction of preconception care in Hong Kong in 1998, and South Korea in 2004. In Hong Kong, comprehensive preconception care including laboratory tests are provided to over 4000 women each year at a cost of $75 per person. In Korea, about 60$12) for preconception health care services. These case studies illustrate programmatic feasibility of preconception care services to address maternal and child health and other public health challenges in developed and emerging economies

Comparison principles and applications to mathematical modelling of vegetal meta-communities

This article partakes of the PEGASE project the goal of which is a better understanding of the mechanisms explaining the behaviour of species living in a network of forest patches linked by ecological corridors (hedges for instance). Actually we plan to study the effect of the fragmentation of the habitat on biodiversity. A simple neutral model for the evolution of abundances in a vegetal metacommunity is introduced. Migration between the communities is explicitely modelized in a deterministic way, while the reproduction process is dealt with using Wright-Fisher models, independently within each community. The large population limit of the model is considered. The hydrodynamic limit of this split-step method is proved to be the solution of a partial differential equation with a deterministic part coming from the migration process and a diffusion part due to the Wright-Fisher process. Finally, the diversity of the metacommunity is adressed through one of its indicator, the mean extinction time of a species. At the limit, using classical comparison principles, the exchange process between the communities is proved to slow down extinction. This shows that the existence of corridors seems to be good for the biodiversity
