Deviant gender role behavior, reviewed in this issue by Bakwin, presents the practicing pediatrician with an infrequent but generally difficult, frustrating clinical problem–difficult because so little is known about the genesis of such disorders and frustrating because the effectiveness of one's therapeutic efforts is so difficult to assess.
There are no data on the incidence of such gender role problems as effeminacy in boys; indeed, there are few reports of any kind related to this problem. Although it is suggested that there is a significant relationship of adult homosexuality to deviant gender role behavior in children, there are no hard data to support this inference.
In developing nations like India, the development of the population and the number of cars has increased traffic congestion and the number of traffic accidents. However, by identifying crowded locations and enhancing traffic flow, a smart traffic control system that makes use of RFID sensors has the ability to alleviate these problems. By giving emergency vehicles precedence, this approach also makes it possible for them to get to their destination quickly. Drivers can also gain from the real-time data offered by RFID sensors, which can help decrease idling and save time. This data can be used to recommend other routes to drivers so they can avoid crowded regions and cut down on the amount of time they spend stuck in traffic. In addition to enhancing traffic flow, this also aids in lowering fuel consumption and emissions, creating a cleaner and greener environment. To manage the growing traffic flow and lower traffic accidents, emerging nations like India can use a smart traffic control system using RFID sensors. Overall, an RFID-based smart traffic control system has the potential to significantly improve the environment, the economics, and the welfare of road users in emerging countries like India.
