Plus: Notre Dame, billionaires and 'cultural immortality'
| | | | In a 12-year study in Sweden involving some 35,000 people, more than 15 percent reported changing their sexual identity. Epidemiologist Willi Zhang writes that patterns in the data have been reflected in studies in the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand, and that people with shifting identities may face emotional challenges. He calls for healthcare providers and lawmakers to keep their experiences in mind. Diagnoses of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are mostly based on tests that determine whether a child is having difficulties in relation to what's expected for their age. But as researcher Teresa Rossignoli Palomeque writes, computational neuroscience can complement these methods. Techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography can help detect false positives in test results. The recent ceremony marking the reopening of Notre Dame cathedral recalled the €200 million contribution that Bernard Arnault, the CEO of luxury goods group Louis Vuitton-Moët-Hennessy (LVMH), made to its restoration. ESCP Business School professors Ben Voyer and Perrine Desmichel explain how Arnault's approach to philanthropy, which may mirror that of US billionaires, aims to "claim a form of cultural immortality" in France. |  | Philippe Theise Editor, Paris | |  Willi Zhang, Karolinska Institutet Many people in a large study experienced changes in their sexual identity over a decade. |  Teresa Rossignoli Palomeque, Universidad Nebrija Many believe ADHD is purely behavioural, but we can detect it by looking at brainwaves. |  Andi Hoxhaj, King's College London European leaders are considering plans to set up more deportation camps in countries that are – like Albania – candidates for EU membership. | | | -
