Abstract:

We suggest that a third revolution alongside the better known economic and political ones has been vital to the rise of modernity: the reproductive revolution, comprising a historically unrepeatable shift in the efficiency of human reproduction which for the first time brought demographic security. As well as highlighting the contribution of demographic change to the rise of modernity and addressing the limitations of orthodox theories of the demographic transition, the concept of the reproductive revolution offers a better way to integrate sociology and demography. The former has tended to pay insufficient heed to sexual reproduction, individual mortality and the generational replacement of population, while the latter has undervalued its own distinctive theoretical contribution, portraying demographic change as the effect of causes lying elsewhere. We outline a theory of the reproductive revolution, review some relevant supporting empirical evidence and briefly discuss its implications both for demographic transition theory itself, and for a range of key social changes that we suggest it made possible: the decline of patriarchy and feminisation of the public sphere, the deregulation and privatisation of sexuality, family change, the rise of identity, ‘low’ fertility and ‘population ageing’.

Abstract:

Background: Louise Brown’s delivery in 1978 was the mark of a successful IVF program that has now been in practice for more than 40 years. The technology has delivered more than 8 million babies. Many breakthrough innovations were established to answer the problem in ART services. Optimizing ART biomarkers and cross border reproductive care have become a rising issue in ART services. Disruptive innovation disrupts the existing condition and takes the lead in the new market, including to change our patient behavior in health services. National health services addressed new issues about the impact of 4.0 industrial revolution on health workforce and our daily practices. Every disruptive innovation today is enhanced by a combination of physical, digital, and biological domain. The advancement in the area of the internet of things, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, nanotechnology, cloud computing, big data, deep learning, machine learning, robotics, and gene editing could potentially support us to innovate. And to improve the quality and outcome of ART, the introduction of the latest technology, such as robotics and artificial intelligence, has become an essential approach. A recent study discovered that the use of artificial intelligence would remove the embryologist’s subjectivity and improve the way we choose the best embryo for implantation. The next challenging issue in ART is improving the success rate through optimizing noninvasive biomarkers development. Many biological products such as blood, tissue, organ fluid can be assessed and considered to be used as IVF biomarkers. Proteomic tools were used and are needed to analyze a sample from subjects before it was created as a biomarker for improving the IVF services quality. Conclusion: The development of IVF over 40 years has brought about many distinct achievements in the laboratory and in clinic. Industrial revolution 4.0 has generated many innovations that have helped improve the quality of ART services, including AUGMENT social egg freezing, artificial intelligence, and genome editing. In this era, precision medicine looks very promising for bridging the gap and increasing the accuracy and efficacy of promotive, preventive, diagnostic, and treatment approaches in reproductive medicine.

Abstract:

A review of the catalogue Grand Domestic Revolution Handbook, with which the Dutch gallery Casco concluded its Grand Domestic Revolution (GDR) project, dedicated to the “living research” of reproductive work. The author outlines the concept of the curators and editors Binna Choi and Maiko Tanaka, links it to American feminism of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and discusses it in terms of the works created for the project, especially those that appeared as part of the 19th City of Women festival in 2013. She appraises the GDR project, the GDR Handbook, and the exhibition in Ljubljana of GDR GOES ON as a risky but inspiring attempt to socialise reproductive work at the intersection of art, theory, activism, and everyday life.

Abstract:

The article examines the foundations of educational innovations in the Krestovozdvszhensk Labor Brotherhood, which was founded by the famous philosopher, landowner and philanthropist N. N. Neplyuev in the 1880s, 30 km to North of Glukhov. It shows the socio-economic successes that the community could achieve in the production and social spheres. Educational innovations, due to which young brothers were brought up, are characterized: the need for constant practical application of innovative technologies and methods of work, reproduction of motives for self-learning and obtaining new knowledge, conditionality of constant decision-making, self-organization and self-government, etc. Methods of organization, social relations, approach to production activities along which the Brotherhood lived, days with the present. In particular, the focus of the Brotherhood's economy on the use of renewable resources and ensuring the sustainable state of adjacent ecosystems brings it closer to the goals and objectives of the Third Industrial Revolution, which is now taking place in the world. The priority of information production in the Brotherhood and its focus on the mechanization of labor processes make it clearer the logics of the modern Fourth Industrial Revolution clearer. And, finally, the invaluable achievement of the brothers is the priority they have achieved of a human personality development. This is what is now becoming essential in the light of the Fifth Industrial Revolution. It is especially noted that the Brotherhood, thanks to its educational system, managed to create a unique reproductive potential, which included: a system of necessary self-reproduction of human personalities; system of reproduction of the most effective use and reproduction of natural capital; system of reproduction of synergetic combination of human, natural and physical capitals.

Abstract:

The protein electrophoresis revolution, nearly fifty years ago, provided the first glimpse into the nature of molecular genetic variation within and between species and showed that the amount of genetic differences between newly arisen species was minimal. Twenty years later, 2D electrophoresis showed that, in contrast to general gene-enzyme variation, reproductive tract proteins were less polymorphic within species but highly diverged between species. The 2D results were interesting and revolutionary, but somewhat uninterpretable because, at the time, rapid evolution and selective sweeps were not yet part of the common vocabulary of evolutionary biologists. Since then, genomic studies of sex and reproduction-related (SRR) genes have grown rapidly into a large area of research in evolutionary biology and are shedding light on a number of phenomena. Here we review some of the major and current fields of research that have greatly contributed to our understanding of the evolutionary dynamics and importance of SRR genes and genetic systems in understanding reproductive biology and speciation.

Abstract:

Abstract BACKGROUND Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) encompasses methods that allow embryos to be tested for severe inherited conditions or for chromosome abnormalities, relevant to embryo health and viability. In order to obtain embryonic genetic material for analysis, a biopsy is required, involving the removal of one or more cells. This invasive procedure greatly increases the costs of PGT and there have been concerns that embryo viability could be compromised in some cases. The recent discovery of DNA within the blastocoele fluid (BF) of blastocysts and in spent embryo culture media (SCM) has led to interest in the development of non-invasive methods of PGT (niPGT). OBJECTIVE AND RATIONALE This review evaluates the current scientific evidence regarding non-invasive genetic assessment of preimplantation embryos. The success of different PGT methodologies in collecting and analysing extra-embryonic DNA is evaluated, and consideration is given to the potential biological and technical hindrances to obtaining a reliable clinical diagnosis. SEARCH METHODS Original research and review papers concerning niPGT were sourced by searching PubMed and Google Scholar databases until July 2019. Searches comprised the keywords: ‘non-invasive’; ‘cell-free DNA’; ‘blastocentesis’; ‘blastocoel fluid’; ‘spent culture media’; ‘embryo culture medium’; ‘preimplantation genetic testing’; ‘preimplantation genetic diagnosis’; ‘preimplantation genetic screening’; and ‘aneuploidy’. OUTCOMES Embryonic DNA is frequently detectable in BF and SCM of embryos produced during IVF treatment. Initial studies have achieved some success when performing cytogenetic and molecular genetic analysis. However, in many cases, the efficiency has been restricted by technical complications associated with the low quantity and quality of the DNA. Reported levels of ploidy agreement between SCM/BF samples and biopsied embryonic cells vary widely. In some cases, a discrepancy with respect to cytogenetic data obtained after trophectoderm biopsy may be attributable to embryonic mosaicism or DNA contamination (usually of maternal origin). Some research indicates that aneuploid cells are preferentially eliminated from the embryo, suggesting that their DNA might be over-represented in SCM and BF samples; this hypothesis requires further investigation. WIDER IMPLICATIONS Available data suggest that BF and SCM samples frequently provide DNA templates suitable for genetic analyses, offering a potential means of PGT that is less expensive than traditional methods, requires less micromanipulation skill and poses a lower risk to embryos. Critically, DNA isolation and amplification protocols must be optimised to reproducibly obtain an accurate clinical diagnosis, whilst minimising the impact of confounding factors such as contamination. Further investigations are required to understand the mechanisms underlying the release of embryonic DNA and to determine the extent to which this material reflects the true genetic status of the corresponding embryo. Currently, the clinic al potential of niPGT remains unknown.

Abstract:

The nature of social change occurs at the center of human consciousness and based on a commitment, it cannot be reversed, rejected, or canceled (Vago, 2004). Therefore, there are economic and political orders as a result of conflict of ideologies within society. Historically, global social change is caused by the Industrial Revolution and Ideology and Gender Revolution. The invention of telegraph was the beginning of globalization, identified by the 4T revolution (Telecommunications, Transport, Tourism and Transparency). The revolution in agriculture, mining, manufacturing and industry results changes in lifestyle and exploitation of natural resources that can cause climate change. The second source of social change is the revolution of ideology and gender. When colonialism, slavery and deprivation of human rights occurred, the movement to struggle for human rights as its counterculture appeared, resulting in 1980 the pro-human right movement products. The sexual revolution in the 1960s in the USA demanded for equal rights between men and women. The 1975 UNFPA population convention held in Cairo have made an agreement to restrict population growth using contraception, resulting later-on the concept that sex is no longer for reproductive purpose but for recreation. People’s lifestyle has changed since then.

Abstract:

The aim of this critical essay is to analyse social and economic contexts of women’s work at the verge of 19th and 20th centuries. In the essay’s foreground are: 1) the discussion of Polish emancipatory discourses, the relation of liberal feminists to working class women; as well as 2) the characteristics of the reproductive work performed by women in the era of industrial revolution along with the impact the industrialization had on transformations of the ways genders were perceived. The article also touches upon the emancipatory role played by the factory – an attempt was made to answer the question: To what extent the commercialization of women’s work due to industrial revolutions allowed women to escape the shackles of patriarchy, and to what extent it contributed to their further entanglement in the network of dependency.

Abstract:

Many biotechnological assisted reproductive techniques (ART) are currently used to control the reproductive processes of farm animals. Nowadays, smart ART that considers technique efficiency, animal welfare, cost efficiency and environmental health are developed. Recently, the nanotechnology revolution has pervaded all scientific fields including the reproduction of farm animals, facilitating certain improvements in this field. Nanotechnology could be used to improve and overcome many technical obstacles that face different ART. For example, semen purification and semen preservation processes have been developed using different nanomaterials and techniques, to obtain semen doses with high sperm quality. Additionally, nanodrugs delivery could be applied to fabricate several sex hormones (steroids or gonadotrophins) used in the manipulation of the reproductive cycle. Nanofabricated hormones have new specific biological properties, increasing their bioavailability. Applying nanodrugs delivery techniques allow a reduction in hormone dose and improves hormone kinetics in animal body, because of protection from natural biological barriers (e.g., enzymatic degradation). Additionally, biodegradable nanomaterials could be used to fabricate hormone-loaded devices that are made from non-degradable materials, such as silicon and polyvinyl chloride-based matrixes, which negatively impact environmental health. This review discusses the role of nanotechnology in developing some ART outcomes applied in the livestock sector, meeting the concept of smart production.

Abstract:

The use of helplines to deliver sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education to girls seeking such information and services can break down barriers created by low access and top-down approaches. However, it is important to interrogate their effectiveness in addressing the SRH needs of girls, particularly in contexts in which hierarchical social relations prevail and conservative religious and cultural norms dictate appropriate expressions and experiences of sexuality for girls and young women. In this article I use data drawn from a qualitative case study of a children’s helpline in Kenya to interrogate the interplay of power and culture in the delivery of SRH information to girls. The findings reveal that while this particular communication technology presents, potentially, a revolution in such delivery, power dynamics and cultural norms still pose barriers.

Abstract:

The group discussion at March 30, 2018 covers a wide range of problems related to modern sexuality, social norms that regulate it, and the historical circumstances that influenced these norms. In the speeches of the participants, three generations of the sexual revolution in Russia are designated: the generation of the behavioral revolution, the generation of the discursive revolution and the generation of the gender revolution. It considers the Bolshevik gender reforms, expressed in the adoption of laws aimed at changing the role of women in the family and society and changing the basis of relations between men and women due to legislative consolidation of gender equality. The authors point out fundamental differences in the pace and nature of gender modernization in Western countries and in Russia, expressed in the fact that in the West, the consequences of the “sexual revolution” of 1968 significantly changed the behavior of both men and women, in the countries of the Soviet bloc only female roles have changed. It is noted, however, that although men show a growing interest in active fatherhood, women in the majority reserve the right to make all reproductive decisions on their own.

Abstract:

The development of hormonal contraceptives stands out as a key contribution of biochemistry to the 20th century, part of the wider ‘sexual revolution’ that dramatically changed society in many Western countries. But unbeknown to them, the pioneers of the contraceptive pill had been beaten to the idea by a few hundred million years, by a rather unlikely group of organisms that have been using hormones as contraceptives since their own sexual revolutions back in the swinging Palaeozoic. Since their successful conquest of land in the Ordovician, land plants had been restricted in the genetic mixing and expansion of populations by their relative immobility. A series of key innovations in the seed plant group, and in particular in flowering plants, enabled plants to mate and to disperse their offspring over much longer distances, by harnessing the wind or animals to provide mobility. However, all this ‘outsourcing’ created new challenges; coordinating and optimizing reproductive effort is not straightforward when it depends on a third party. Here, I discuss some of the key signalling molecules – sex hormones, as it were – that plants use to plan their families and manage their fertility, and why this matters to us, now more than ever.

Abstract:

It has been nearly six decades since Nepal introduced a family planning program.1,2 At present, the average number of children that a woman in Nepal has is just two, which is defined as a ‘replacement level’ of fertility (that is, two offspring to replace the couple themselves).3 In contrast, about fifty-years ago (in the mid-1970s), the average was more than six children for a married woman in Nepal.4,5 This change in reproductive behavior (certainly influenced by attitudes towards smaller family size) should be considered a ‘reproductive revolution’ in an essentially patriarchal and patrilocal society like Nepal – a transition several other countries have experienced in recent decades as well.6,7 This reproductive revolution is driven principally by the adaption of modern methods of contraception. In 1966, Nepal became one of only a handful of countries where family planning was officially adopted as a ‘fundamental human right and a policy tool in long-range national planning’.1 Sterilization (mainly female sterilization) has been the principal method of fertility control.8,9 At present, more than 50% of married women in Nepal use some form of contraception.8 By all measures, the country’s family planning program must be considered a success. In more recent years however, other factors including abortion and rising age of marriage, as well as male-selected out-migration, have also contributed to the further decline in fertility.10-14

Abstract:

Reproductive health is one of the Sustainable Development Goals that directly affect the health sector. Technological advances in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 ensure that information spreads widely and quickly via the Internet. Adolescents can easily obtain and retrieve information about sexuality from a variety of sources, but the truth and validity of the information must be credible. Misleading information provokes teens to conform to unhealthy sexual activities. Overall, unhealthy sexual activity can lead to the early onset of sexual activity and expose adolescents to high-risk sexual behavior. This study aimed to improve adolescents' knowledge of education about holistic reproductive health from different perspectives (medical, psychological and spiritual). This research uses qualitative research with descriptive methods using a Zoom meeting application with a total of 82 male and female participants. The implementation of the activity starts with a pre-test and ends with a post-test via Google Forms. As the study results show, the adolescents' knowledge about reproductive health education increased significantly by 18.5% in a comparison of the pretest and posttest. Reproductive health counseling has induced positive changes and attitudes in adolescents from different perspectives (medical, psychological and spiritual) regarding knowledge about reproductive health.

Abstract:

Reproductive health is one of the Sustainable Development Goals that directly affect the health sector. Technological advances in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 ensure that information spreads widely and quickly via the Internet. Adolescents can easily obtain and retrieve information about sexuality from a variety of sources, but the truth and validity of the information must be credible. Misleading information provokes teens to conform to unhealthy sexual activities. Overall, unhealthy sexual activity can lead to the early onset of sexual activity and expose adolescents to high-risk sexual behavior. This study aimed to improve adolescents' knowledge of education about holistic reproductive health from different perspectives (medical, psychological and spiritual). This research uses qualitative research with descriptive methods using a Zoom meeting application with a total of 82 male and female participants. The implementation of the activity starts with a pre-test and ends with a post-test via Google Forms. As the study results show, the adolescents' knowledge about reproductive health education increased significantly by 18.5% in a comparison of the pretest and posttest. Reproductive health counseling has induced positive changes and attitudes in adolescents from different perspectives (medical, psychological and spiritual) regarding knowledge about reproductive health. Reproductive education counseling is expected to continue in each educational institute to improve adolescent reproductive health and protect adolescents from problematic sexual behavior.

Abstract:

Men’s engagement in women’s sexual and reproductive healthcare as well as responsible parenthood is a demand of time in countries like Bangladesh, where men play a vital role, when it comes to the issue of women’s ability to seek healthcare. Yet, we couldn’t reach a point, where our men are wellequipped with proper healthcare information to assist their partners in a specific health complication and fully participate to take a decision on their health and wellbeing. But, if they can be aware and motivated about the importance of their active involvement in family’s healthcare using ICT tools, they could definitely help their partners to take effective decision in emergency. Ensuring the use of low cost intervention like ICT tools for receiving health information will also help achieving the vision of health equity, by engaging all, regardless of gender or class barriers.Objective: The main objective of this paper is to assist the healthcare professionals and development partners, who are involving with advocacy through e-health awareness programs using ICT tools, to formulate their coordinated next plan of action. By formulating such an action plan, healthcare providers can easily identify the issues that need to be more emphasized, topics that are not covered by anyone yet and prevent duplication of healthcare contents that are already available online. By ensuring e-health for all, we can contribute to implementing our UHC, as part of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).Materials and Methods: In order to showcase the importance of digital technology in healthcare, we picked up two social media platforms that provide the highest possible healthcare information on adolescence and reproductive health and aim to reduce the rate of maternal mortality and morbidity to the bare minimum. Since the inception of the Facebook page called ‘Dr. Purabi’sHelp Desk https://www.facebook.com/DrPurabisHelpDesk/’ and the YouTube channel ‘Nowsheen Purabi, https://www.youtube.com/user/drpurabihelpdesk’ in November 2012, these online platforms have been delivering video contents, articles on adolescent-maternal-reproductive health, contraception, non-communicable disease prevention, vaccination, nutrition, and mental health.The data we have shown are taken from the analytics/ insights of Facebook page ‘Dr. Purabi’s Help Desk’ and YouTube channel ‘Nowsheen Purabi’. For Facebook page data, we have used the monthly insight report that Facebook provides every page owner. On the other hand, the YouTube data was taken from the channel analytics, which gives a lifetime data to the channel owner.Results: People from reproductive age (18-34 years old) mostly watch the YouTube contents, while same in Facebook Page. 64% men are somehow likely to be active in watching healthcare contents online. Contents are viewed by people from different parts of the world (Bangladesh 88%, India 8%, Saudi Arabia 1%, USA 1%, and Australia 1%). Almost 91% of the viewer uses their mobile phones; 6% use computers and 3% percent use tablets to watch the contents. 94% male and 6% females are engaged in the posts.Conclusion: If we can take necessary steps to engage more people in digital healthcare by lowering the internet price, we will be able to achieve SDG as well as UHC within a short time. We need the coordination of government and private initiatives to bridge the information gap between the healthcare professionals and the patients.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 03 No. 04 October’19 Page : 201-206

Abstract:

AbstractThe international feminist strikes of 2017, 2018, and 2019 challenged the categories and imaginaries relating to what it means to disobey contemporary modes of exploitation. In this text, the author debates some of Joshua Clover’s theses from Riot. Strike. Riot. in light of feminist theories of the strike. She underscores the role that the reproductive sphere plays in the feminist strike while, at the same time, analyzing that sphere as a space for the expansion of contemporary forms of finance.

Abstract:

Speciation involves both ecological adaptation and reproductive isolation. This paper reviews various ways in which plants could achieve reproductive isolation as a direct result of adaptation to prevailing conditions, particularly through changes in flowering time, the adoption of self-fertilization, and changes in flower morphology so that different pollinators are attracted. These characters are likely to have a relatively simple genetic architecture, and there must frequently be genetic variance for them in natural populations. It is argued that speciation could thus be initiated swiftly in plants, without any need for a "genetic revolution" or the fixation of genes with strongly epistatic interactions. Postmating barriers also often have a simple genetic basis in plants, and so could also evolve swiftly if associated with an adaptive response. The nature of the genetic changes associated with speciation in a number of recent speciation events in Layia, Stephanomeria, and Mimulus is reviewed.Key words: Speciation, adaptation, reproductive isolation.

Abstract:

The growth of English Nonconformity during the era of the demographic revolution (circa 1750–1850) has long been regarded as an impediment to the reconstruction of reproductive behavior. Historical demographers have relied heavily on Church of England registers of baptisms, burials, and marriages, while treating Protestant dissenters from the Church of England secondarily, as a factor of underestimation in the Anglican record. Such treatment suggests that religious culture played no independent role in determining population growth. This assumption seems problematic, however, considering the central role that social historians have assigned evangelical dissent to the emergence of modern English society and the somewhat greater place that religion has occupied in demographic studies of populations in continental Europe, the United States, and the third world.

Abstract:

During the “Third Reich,” the majority of German gynecologists and obstetricians did not hesitate to put themselves at the service of those in power. In 1933, many gynecologists initially only focused on the fact that the biopolitical objectives of the National Socialists matched their own long-standing demands for population policy measures and the early detection and prevention of cancer. In addition, cooperating with the Nazis promised the political advancement of the profession, personal advantages, and the honorary title of <i>Volksgesundheitsführer</i> (national health leaders). As a result, gynecologists exchanged resources with the regime and thus contributed significantly to the implementation of the criminal racial policies of the Nazis. At the congresses of the <i>Deutsche Gesellschaft für Gynäkologie</i> (German Society of Gynecology) “non-Aryan” members, mostly of Jewish descent, were excluded, the law on forced sterilization of 1933 (<i>Gesetz zur Verhütung erbkranken Nachwuchses</i>/Law for the Prevention of Offspring with Hereditary Diseases) was scientifically legitimized, its implementation was propagated, and relevant surgical techniques were discussed with regard to their “certainty of success.” In the course of these forced sterilizations, existing pregnancies were also terminated and the victims were misused for illegal scientific examinations or experiments. Drawing upon racial and utilitarian considerations, gynecologists did not even shy away from carrying out late abortions on forced laborers from the East during the Second World War, which were strictly prohibited even under the laws of the time. Some gynecologists carried out cruel experiments on humans in concentration camps, which primarily served their own careers and the biopolitical goals of those in power. The few times gynecologists did protest or resist was when the very interests of their profession seemed threatened, as in the dispute over home births and the rights of midwives. Social gynecological initiatives from the Weimar Republic, which were mainly supported and carried out by gynecologists persecuted for their Jewish descent since 1933, were either converted into National Socialist “education programs” or simply came to an end due to the exclusion of their initiators. German gynecologists had hoped for a large-scale promotion of the early detection of malignant diseases of the uterus and breasts, to which they had already made important contributions since the beginning of the 20th century. But even though the fight against cancer was allegedly one of the priorities of the Nazis, no comprehensive measures were taken. Still, a few locally limited initiatives to this end proved to be successful until well into the Second World War. In addition, German gynecologists established the modern concept of prenatal care and continued to advance endocrinological research and sterility therapy. After the end of the Nazi dictatorship, the historical guilt piled up during this period was suppressed and denied for decades. Its revision and processing only began in the 1990s.
