Etude préliminaire de l'influence des disponibilités alimentaires et des activités humaines sur l’utilisation spatiale de l’habitat par les chimpanzés et les bonobos by Victor Narat, Marie Cibot, Jean Christophe Bokika Ngawolo, Richard Dumez, Sabrina Krief

“…Human activities in the home range of bonobos are more diversified, with several traditional activities (culture, gathering, hunting with nylon snares) and the encounter rates of human signs is higher (2,3 signs/km, 48 km) than in Uganda (1,84 signs/km, 74,5 km)In the future, increased habituation, detailed habitat characterization including spatial and phenological monitoring of Ape food, especially terrestrial herbaceous vegetation and interviews of a larger sample of local persons will allow performing a detailed spatio-temporal analysis of habitat use by bonobos and chimpanzees.Such studies may provide a better understanding of the adaptability of these species and their representation by local human communities to propose appropriate conservation strategies including improvement of local people well-being and wealth.…”

The AFFIRM Framework for gender-affirming care: qualitative findings from the Transgender and Gender Diverse Health Equity Study by Meg Quint, Schuyler Bailar, Alexis Miranda, Shalender Bhasin, Devin O’Brien-Coon, Sari L. Reisner

“…Themes about gender-affirming care coalesced into the acronym AFFIRM: (1) Affirms in individual interactions: Participants called for affirmation of TGD identity, lived expertise, and competent TGD providers and staff.

(3) Fights systemic oppression: Participants emphasized the need for providers and health systems to eliminate gatekeeping practices for gender-affirming care and create care models that resist intersecting oppressive systems such as racism and cisgenderism. (4) Interacts with community: Patients desired intentional interaction with TGD community to holistically address health and unmet gender affirmation needs. (5) Retains patients in care: Patients shared the need to collaboratively identify and problem-solve obstacles to gender-affirming care with providers and healthcare systems to optimize TGD-specific retention strategies. (6) Multidisciplinary: Patients called for interdisciplinary teams with co-located services such as primary care and mental healthcare with letter-writing for surgical care, and incorporation of peer navigators to meet the broader social, health, and well-being needs of TGD people. …”
