Objective:
To examine the literature and identify main themes, methods and results of studies concerning food and nutrition addressed in research on transgender populations.
Design:A systematic review conducted through July 2020 in the MedLine/PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases.
Results:Of the 778 studies identified in the databases, we selected thirty-seven. The studies were recent, most of them published after 2015, being produced in Global North countries. The most often used study design was cross-sectional; the least frequently used study design was ethnographic. Body image and weight control were predominant themes (n 25), followed by food and nutrition security (n 5), nutritional status (n 5), nutritional health assistance (n 1) and emic visions of healthy eating (n 1).
Conclusions:The transgender community presents body, food and nutritional relationships traversed by its unique gender experience, which challenges dietary and nutritional recommendations based on the traditional division by sex (male and female). We need to complete the lacking research and understand contexts in the Global South, strategically investing in exploratory-ethnographic research, to develop categories of analysis and recommendations that consider the transgender experience.

Summary
INTRODUCTION
War is a complex and deeply social process that reaches lives far beyond soldiers on the battlefield. The first department of international relations was founded in Aberystwyth in 1919 following the horrors of the First World War, and as a discipline, it has always been captivated by the central problem of preventing the devastation of war on human populations, even if scholars disagree on how this can be achieved. Although war is an enduring feature of global politics, the character of war itself has changed significantly over the past century (Strachan and Scheipers 2011). We are fortunate not to have experienced another major world war despite the creation of 142 new nation states since 1945, yet war itself has become much more fragmented and internalized within this period. The rapid changes in the mode and characteristics of today's conflicts challenge the way that scholars consider their methodological approaches to studying the impact of armed conflict on societies.
This chapter focuses on methodological considerations for researching populations impacted by armed conflict in the Asia-Pacific, a region that experienced major conflicts in the Cold War period, has the potential for major interstate conflicts, and continues to be confronted by a range of diverse internal conflicts that threaten the security of domestic populations. The starting point for thinking about methodological approaches here is to consider the nature of the field that is being researched — what are the historical, social, and political characteristics of the conflict settings? How are conflict-affected populations situated within this overarching field? What are the implications of the way that the field is conceptualized for advocating for the agency, protection, and human rights of the affected populations?
This chapter is therefore concerned with two sets of developments in international politics and academic practice that are important for considering approaches to research on the humanitarian impact of armed conflict. The first set of developments is in global politics where we find, on the one hand, the strengthening of international norms and rules to regulate armed conflict that are increasingly geared towards the protection of individuals in war. On the other hand, the fragmentation and internalization of armed violence within the state creates ambiguity in the international legal and regulatory space, and challenges international efforts to protect populations affected by conflict.

Summary
When one thinks about children and armed violence, the first image that tends to come to mind is that of a child soldier or a refugee child who has been subjected to the horror of adult wars. This is an image that one does not associate with a vibrant democracy such as India – although growing international attention to the Naxalite insurgents’ use of child soldiers is starting to tarnish this image. This chapter approaches the issue of children affected by armed violence from a different perspective; that of communal violence, to challenge the way that people think about children's human rights and protection of those rights during periods of targeted political violence on the basis of religious or other identity-based differences.
International Humanitarian Law (IHL) has long made special provisions for the protection of children in armed conflicts, and legal and normative developments have come a long way in regulating the protection of children in today's unconventional armed conflicts. Over the past two decades, concern over children affected by armed conflict has become a high profile issue on the United Nations Security Council agenda in particular. However, there are many children in India that are directly impacted by one-sided, targeted violence outside international and non-international armed conflicts as defined by IHL.
One of the contentions in this chapter is to argue that the vocabulary, and the legal and institutional framework for addressing children's protection issues arising from political violence continue to reside outside either the domain of armed conflict,1 or social welfare-oriented responses by the Indian State. Accordingly, this chapter seeks to conceptualize the specific issue of children affected by political violence in India within this ambiguous terrain. Although communal violence may affect a small percentage of India's children, the nature of violence suffered by children is particularly worrisome, indeed genocidal, given the extremist ideology behind the atrocities targeted towards them. Further, it is an issue that has serious implications for India's capacity as a democratic State to uphold the equality and human rights of its population, and to adhere to international humanitarian standards, given that there remains a high level of impunity for organizers and perpetrators of communal violence that is a recurrent feature of India's political landscape.

This study investigates the variations by older people's socio-economic status (SES) (i.e. educational level and social class) in the use of informal and formal help from outside the household in Great Britain, Italy, Belgium and The Netherlands. In all these countries, it was older people in low SES groups who mostly used such help. Multinomial logistic regression analyses showed that, in each country and for both types of help, there were SES gradients in the utilisation of both formal and informal care, and that differences in age, health and marital status largely accounted for the former but not the latter. Cross-national differences in the use of both informal and formal help remained when variations in sex, age, SES, health, marital status, home ownership and the use of privately-paid help were taken into account. Significant interaction effects were found, which indicated that older people in low SES groups in Great Britain and The Netherlands had higher odds of using informal help from outside the household than their counterparts in Italy, and similarly that those in The Netherlands were more likely to use formal help than their Italian peers. The results are discussed in relation to the cultural differences and variations in the availability of formal services among the countries.
