Authors: Fihel Agnieszka , Kiełkowska Marta , Radziwinowiczówna Agnieszka , Rosińska Anna 
Published: April 2020

This paper presents a theoretic synthesis of determinants of fertility decline in Poland in the post-war period. The differences in fertility determinants between the communist and post-communist periods are of particular interest.
First, we present the changes in the number of births and their direct determinants: the number of women in reproductive age, forming lasting heterosexual relationships and the quantum and timing of fertility. The births’ decline in Poland is attributed to both quantum and timing effects and changes of union formation. In the second part, we discuss indirect determinants of fertility change by referring to main theoretical approaches to nuptiality and fertility, and by making use of research conducted in Poland.
In the last section, we present a conceptual model distinguishing fertility determinants operating on the interconnected levels of production and reproduction system (the macro level), labour market and family (the meso level), and work and family social roles (the micro level). By showing how different factors operated differently in the Polish People’s Republic (until 1989) and during the post-communist transition, we analyse links between these determinants and importance of each of them.

Published: April 2020

Acute lung injury (ALI) is characterized by diffuse alveolar damage, inflammation, and transmigration and activation of inflammatory cells. This study evaluated if intravenous dexamethasone can influence lung inflammation and apoptosis in lavage-induced ALI. ALI was induced in rabbits by repetitive saline lung lavage (30 ml/kg, 9±3-times). Animals were divided into 3 groups: ALI without therapy (ALI), ALI treated with dexamethasone i.v. (0.5 mg/kg, Dexamed; ALI+DEX), and healthy non-ventilated controls (Control). After following 5 h of ventilation, ALI animals were overdosed by anesthetics. Total and differential counts of cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) were estimated. Lung edema was expressed as wet/dry weight ratio. Concentrations of IL-1ß, IL-8, esRAGE, S1PR3 in the lung were analyzed by ELISA methods. In right lung, apoptotic cells were evaluated by TUNEL assay and caspase-3 immunohistochemically. Dexamethasone showed a trend to improve lung functions and histopathological changes, reduced leak of neutrophils (P<0.001) into the lung, decreased concentrations of pro-inflammatory IL-1β (P<0.05) and marker of lung injury esRAGE (P<0.05), lung edema formation (P<0.05), and lung apoptotic index (P<0.01), but increased immunoreactivity of caspase-3 in the lung (P<0.001). Considering the action of dexamethasone on respiratory parameters and lung injury, the results indicate potential of this therapy in ALI.

A 2×2 factorial design was used to evaluate possible preservation of mitochondrial functions in two cardioprotective experimental models, remote ischemic preconditioning and streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus, and their interaction during ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R) of the heart. Male Wistar rats were randomly allocated into four groups: control (C), streptozotocin-induced diabetic (DM), preconditioned (RPC) and preconditioned streptozotocin-induced diabetic (DM+RPC). RPC was conducted by 3 cycles of 5-min hind-limb ischemia and 5-min reperfusion. DM was induced by a single dose of 65 mg/kg streptozotocin. Isolated hearts were exposed to ischemia/ reperfusion test according to Langendorff. Thereafter mitochondria were isolated and the mitochondrial respiration was measured. Additionally, the ATP synthase activity measurements on the same preparations were done. Animals of all groups subjected to I/R exhibited a decreased state 3 respiration with the least change noted in DM+RPC group associated with no significant changes in state 2 respiration. In RPC, DM and DM+RPC group, no significant changes in the activity of ATP synthase were observed after I/R injury. These results suggest that the endogenous protective mechanisms of RPC and DM do preserve the mitochondrial function in heart when they act in combination.

Propofol is a short-acting hypnotic agent used in human medicine for sedation and general anesthesia. Its administration can be associated with serious cardiovascular side-effects that include decrease in arterial blood pressure and cardiac output. The aim of the present study was to evaluate propofol effects on mitochondrial respiration, myocardial contractility and electrophysiology in the same samples isolated from the heart ventricles of adult rats. Mitochondrial oxygen consumption was measured in permeabilized samples dissected from free walls of both ventricles using high-resolution respirometry. State LEAK was determined with malate and glutamate. Active respiration was induced by ADP (state PI) and further by succinate, a Complex II substrate (PI+II). Rotenone was injected to measure state PII. Antimycin A, a Complex III inhibitor was used to determine residual oxygen consumption (ROX). N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride and ascorbate were injected simultaneously for respirometric assay of cytochrome c oxidase activity (CIV). Isometric contractions and membrane potentials were determined on multicellular preparations isolated from right and left ventricles. Propofol concentrations used ranged from 0.005 to 0.5 mmol/l. All respiratory parameters were significantly higher in the left control ventricles compared to the right ones. Propofol significantly decreased Complex I activity at concentration 0.025 mmol/l and papillary muscle contraction force at 0.1 mmol/l. Propofol did not affect action potential duration at any concentration studied. Our study suggests that mechanisms contributing to the impaired myocardial contraction during propofol anesthesia might include also mitochondrial dysfunction manifested by compromised activity of the respiratory Complex I.

Published: April 2020

Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is one of the leading pediatric neurological conditions causing long-term disabilities and socio-economical burdens. Nearly 20-50 % of asphyxiated newborns with HIE die within the newborn period and another third will develop severe health consequences and permanent handicaps. HIE is the result of severe systemic oxygen deprivation and reduced cerebral blood flow, commonly occurring in full-term infants. Hypoxic-ischemic changes trigger several molecular and cellular processes leading to cell death and inflammation. Generated reactive oxygen species attack surrounding cellular components resulting in functional deficits and mitochondrial dysfunction. The aim of the present paper is to review present knowledge about the pathophysiology of perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, especially with respect to novel treatment strategies and biomarkers that might enhance early detection of this disorder and thus improve the general outcome of patients.

A Study on Rural Marketing Management of Indian FMCG Product
Authors: Maria Pon Reka D , Santhi V E 
Published: April 2020

FMCG is the fourth biggest sector in the Indian economy, where the urban fragment contributes about 55% to the general revenue produced by the sector. Nonetheless, with web entrance, growing mindfulness, expanding income and evolving ways of life, the FMCG market has seen faster growth in rural India when contrasted with the urban partners. FMCG products are accounted for to represent half of the complete rural spending, which is a verification of the fast growth in the semi-urban and rural consumers in the industry. This enormous growth of the rural market in India has moved the marketable combat zones for the FMCG companies from urban to rural. The rural market today is offering boundless chances to the businesses to connect with almost 33% of the area’s populace. Web infiltration has made information available for the rural Indian consumers who are affecting their purchase choices. The focal point of these consumers is moving towards esteem based purchases rather than price-based buying. They are presently considering price in examination with utility, worth, and highlights of the products. Companies that prior treated the rural market as a freedom ground for their lower-end products are presently realizing the need to concentrate on the prerequisites of the rural customers. The core of India lies in its towns, and today it is practically difficult to prevail in business on the off chance that we leave the area’s rural populace behind. Companies, particularly in the FMCG sector, need to comprehend the elements of the blossoming rural market and think of creative systems to win the trust of these potential consumers and to remain important in the market. Hence, the present study has been focused on the study on Rural Marketing Management of Indian FMCG Product and study based on secondary sources of data collections.
A ilicitude de prova colhida em busca e apreensão domiciliar sem autorização judicial em crime de tráfico de drogas
Authors: Oliveira Thays Assunção , Zagonel Luis Roberto Oliveira 
Published: April 2020

O presente estudo analisa o direito fundamental a inviolabilidade do domicílio frente as hipóteses que admitem exceção a este direito, verifica-se os aspectos da prisão em flagrante delito e da delimitação da ação dos agentes policias nos casos de crime permanente, bem como a consequente ilicitude da prova obtida mediante excesso de poder. A pesquisa se justifica no entendimento de que o tema possui relevância jurídica visto que viola direitos fundamentais, o devido processo legal e as garantias asseguradas pela Constituição Federal. Busca-se por meio deste estudo demonstrar alguns casos que evidenciam atuações arbitrárias por partes das autoridades policiais, que por mera intuição realizam o ingresso forçado na residência do suspeito e acabam por torná-los vítimas de sua atuação. Ademais, embora o crime de tráfico de drogas possua natureza de crime permanente, somente esta característica não é suficiente para fundamentar a violação do domicilio, tampouco as exceções elencadas no art. 5°, inciso XI, da Constituição Federal, haja vista que as circunstâncias que admitem a abordagem no caso concreto devem evidenciar “ex ante” a situação de flagrância para autorizar o ingresso na residência do suspeito. Para alcançar os objetivos a que se propõe, recorre-se, a revisão bibliográfica e jurisprudencial, onde por meio de diferentes entendimentos doutrinários analisa-se os aspectos que fundamentam e justificam a problemática apresentada.

transformative potential of Southern SOTL for Australian Indigenous Studies
Authors: Page Susan 
Published: April 2020

The complex problem of how students learn in Indigenous Studies and what they find most challenging has recently gained new importance for Australian tertiary educators. A new Indigenous strategy, released by the peak body Universities Australia, has indicated that all university curricula should include Indigenous perspectives. This short paper touches briefly on this potentially pivotal development in Australian Higher Education, foreshadows a learning and teaching project I am currently undertaking, and outlines why SOTL in the South is timely and crucial to advancing the contributions that Indigenous scholars are already making to the field in general and to social justice education more specifically.

Contextualising contexts – Scholarship of Teaching and Learning and cultural difference
Authors: Looker Peter 
Published: April 2020

SOTL has an originary moment and a well-rehearsed history. It has been constructed as an approach to understanding teaching and learning with a focus on reflective practice to improve practice and student learning, but it excludes sociocultural influences. This paper argues that by concentrating on the ‘classroom’, and cognitive measures of success, SOTL conforms to a Western view of what is valuable in education. This instrumentalist perspective allows the process of SOTL to seem universally applicable. It is argued that this instrumentalist approach is a black-box perspective, analogous to the black box of the mind seen in behaviourism. Using Chakrabarty’s notion of “provincializing Europe”, some structural elements of SOTL history are analysed with an eye to provincialising SOTL. Following this, a personal teaching experience across two cultures is described to demonstrate the inability of SOTL to comprehend the behaviour of students across different cultures without providing more contextual information. Differences between East Asian and Western views of cognition are presented to suggest that cultural differences in conceptions of learning have a significant effect on what happens in the classroom. In conclusion, if SOTL is to be meaningful internationally, it needs both to embrace and be explicit about sociocultural influences and, crucially, it needs to be decentred from Western hegemonic practice.
