Straipsnyje nagrinėjamas Lietuvos TSR gyventojų natūraliojo prieaugio kitimas pokario laikotarpiu. Remiantis gyventojų mirtingumo dinamikos duomenimis daroma išvada, kad dabartiniu laikotarpiu ir ...artimiausiais metais Lietuvos TSR natūraliojo prieaugio lygis didžiąja dalimi bus sąlygotas gimstamumo lygio. Pagrindinė straipsnio dalis skirta gimstamumo pokyčių dėsningumams analizuoti. Nagrinėjama, kokį poveikį gimstamumo lygiui turi moters socialinė padėtis, materialinių ir kultūrinių poreikių patenkinimo lygis, urbanizacija ir kiti veiksniai. Gimstamumo lygio mažėjimas būdingas ne tik Lietuvos TSR, bet ir visai Tarybų Sąjungai. Daroma išvada, kad pokario metais Lietuvoje vyksta išplėstinė gyventojų reprodukcija, bet ji kasmet vyksta vis siauresniu pagrindu. Statistiniai duomenys rodo, kad jei nepasikeis gimimų lygis, tai yra pavojus, jog Lietuvos TSR bus pereita prie paprastos, o gal net ir susiaurintos gyventojų reprodukcijos.
The effect of body condition score and body weight of Sanjabi ewes on immune system, productive and reproductive performance Total 80 Sanjabi ewes (2-5 years old and 50-85 weight domain) were ...selected in animal unit of Mehregan farm. The ewes were divided to 4 treatment groups according to body condition score of (2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 ≤). Blood samples were collected from non-pregnant ewes, then after mating, two weeks before expected lambing and at lambing day. Blood samples of newborn lambs were also taken from the jugular vein at birth and 7 days of age. The reproductive parameters such as number of lambs born per lambing, kg of lambs born per ewes mating, pregnancy period and lamb birth weight were determined. Some blood metabolites such as glucose, total protein, albumin and globulin were determined. The white blood cell and differential leukocyte counts were also measured. The result of this experiment indicated that BCS = 3 had a significant effect (P < 0.05) on the kg lambs born per ewes. Ewes with BCS = 3 had a better performance in the percentage of lambs born per ewes at mating, while the lambing rate reduced in ewes with BCS of 3.5 or more. Birth weight of lambs was significantly affected by BCS of their ewes (P < 0.05). There was a significant effect of BCS on plasma FSH concentration in ewes with BCS more than 3 but no significant difference was seen in blood metabolite in this study. Colostrum productions and the lamb birth weights were affected by body condition score of ewes. The white blood cell counts, neutrophils and lymphocytes counts did not change between ewes and lambs. It is concluded that BCS had a significant effect on kg lambs born per ewes, birth weight of lambs, lambs weaning weight and colostrum productions (P < 0.05) and the score of 3 at mating time could optimize profitability of Sanjabi ewes.
Contemporary world, as shown by both the scientific research and our everyday experiences, is a place of grave social inequalities and rapid degradation of our physical environment. Processes that ...have led to this are mostly explained on higher levels of abstraction. In this paper, I question them in the context of the processes of soci(et)al reproduction, and I show the relevance of Rudi Supek’s work in contemporary discussions.
In this article the authors examine gender-based obstacles to successful female entrepreneurs' business practices, especially regarding work-life balance, gendered divisions of domestic labour within ...the wider problem of social reproduction in patriarchal societies, and business leadership. The authors have applied a qualitative methodology characteristic of ethnographic research. They analyse material from 24 semi-structured interviews with women entrepreneurs. The article's theoretical perspective draws on the feminist critique of gender and discourse analysis, and the research was conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo and Serbia. The key findings demonstrate that policies and measures intended for the better inclusion of women in the world of entrepreneurship do not suffice unless they are embedded within a wider framework of the critique of patriarchy, as well as within a critique of the dominant concept of entrepreneurship, through gender-conscious intersectoral policies. This research's originality lies in its focus on informal practices, which women perform in both their formal and informal businesses, and which have the potential to become an equally valid model of entrepreneurial behaviour.
Osnovna je teza članka da u vrijeme neoliberalnih »strukturnih reformi« i mjera štednje, socijalni rad od struke namijenjene distribuciji novčane socijalne pomoći i olakšavanja položaja marginalnih ...društvenih grupa, postaje politika i tako stvar svih. Jednim dijelom stoga jer neoliberalne reforme povećavaju broj osoba kojima je potrebna socijalna pomoć i istovremeno smanjuju količinu i dostupnost toj pomoći; dijelom je to stoga jer se u suvremenim oblicima socijalnog rada, u mjeru u kojoj on nadilazi samo reprodukciju radne snage kao radne snage, mogu naći potencijalne alternative postojećim represivnim radnim i socijalnim politikama. Sadašnja slovenska socijalna politika je, posebno otkad je donesen Zakon o pravima iz javnih sredstava (01.01.2012.), u stvarnosti antisocijalna, uništava već izborena socijalna prava i zaoštrava egzistencijsku ovisnost pojedinaca o sve ćudljivijem i fleksibilnijem tržištu radne snage. Politizacija socijalnog rada možda može ponuditi potrebnu protutežu.
