Czy nasz dzisiejszy szacunek dla Islamu jako monoteistycznej religii ma oznaczać, że powinniśmy zapomnieć jak brutalny i agresywny był dżihad czyli święta wojna. Nawet biorąc pod uwagę miejsca walki i największych bitew Islamu z Zachodem przez wspomnianych tysiąc lat tej długotrwałej wojny, to większość z nich odbywała się jako obrona Europy przed najazdami.

David James Clark, DDS, joins with Dr. George Schmidt during the latest podcast episode. Dr. Clark explains the art and science of monolithic injection-molded composite dentistry and talks about utilizing injection-molding of composites with modern preparations, super-anatomic clear matrices and heated multi-viscosity composite to solve so many problems without resorting to crowns. (Dr Clark is a speaker at AGD's upcoming scientific session in Montreal, July 9-12.) Dr. Clark is director of Bioclear Learning Centers International. He founded the Academy of Microscope Enhanced Dentistry, creates curriculum for dental schools and has lectured in 25 countries. He developed the Bioclear Matrix System for placement of biologically appropriate and esthetically pleasing direct composite restorations for facilitating injection-molding of the Clark Class I and Class II preparations, diastema closure, and black triangle elimination combined with papilla regeneration. The Clark Class I and Class II preparations and restorations are now being evaluated in in vivo and in vitro studies. He owns several patents. He published the first guide to dentinal and enamel cracks based on clinical microscope dentistry (16× magnification). Clark is a 1986 graduate of the University of Washington School of Dentistry.

Jest wtorek, 17 grudnia, a w dzisiejszym odcinku „Twój Biznes” Bartłomiej Kawałek omawia najważniejsze wydarzenia gospodarcze. Przyjrzymy się sytuacji na rynku mieszkaniowym, rosnącym kosztom pracy i wyzwaniom stojącym przed OFE. Zajmiemy się również zmianami w systemie emerytalnym w Czechach i trudnościami europejskich linii lotniczych. Najważniejsze informacje: · Czy ceny mieszkań spadną w 2025 roku? Słabnący popyt na mieszkania i rosnąca podaż mogą w przyszłym roku doprowadzić do obniżek cen. Na niektórych rynkach, takich jak Kraków, Łódź czy Trójmiasto, można liczyć nawet na 2-3% spadku cen mieszkań. Główne przyczyny to wysokie stopy procentowe, niska zdolność kredytowa i niepewność związana z rządowym wsparciem dla kupujących. · Poprawa na rynku AGD Produkcja dużego AGD w Polsce wzrosła w październiku o 4,9% rok do roku. Choć cała branża mierzy się ze spadkiem popytu w Europie Zachodniej, polski rynek odnotowuje wzrost sprzedaży. Eksperci przewidują dalszą poprawę sytuacji w 2025 roku, ale będzie ona zależeć od nastrojów konsumenckich. · Czesi podwyższają wiek emerytalny Prezydent Czech podpisał ustawę podnoszącą wiek emerytalny do 67 lat. Zmiany będą wprowadzane stopniowo do 2035 roku. Reforma ma na celu zmniejszenie zadłużenia sektora publicznego, ale budzi sprzeciw opozycji. · OFE kulą u nogi polskiego rynku akcji W OFE zgromadzono 231 mld zł, z czego 165 mld to akcje polskich spółek. Fundusze emerytalne, które kiedyś napędzały polski rynek kapitałowy, dziś sprzedają akcje, powodując odpływ kapitału z GPW. Eksperci sugerują konieczność reformy systemu OFE, aby wspierać polski rynek akcji.

Jest piątek, 25 października, a w najnowszym odcinku „Twój Biznes” Bartłomiej Kawałek przedstawia najnowsze wiadomości gospodarcze. Dowiesz się o odbiciu w produkcji AGD w Polsce oraz o rosnących obawach Unii Europejskiej dotyczących niekontrolowanej pomocy publicznej. Siła nabywcza Polaków rośnie, choć różnice między regionami są nadal duże. Przemysł budownictwa drogowego z kolei narzeka na zbyt małą liczbę przetargów, co może spowolnić rozwój branży.

Luego de que el gobierno decidiera reducir el dragado de la hidrovía, Marcelo Lewandowski sostuvo que «están utilizando estrategias equivocadas». El gobierno nacional tomó dos decisiones importantes para Santa Fe en lo que respecta a la hidrovía. Por un lado, hizo un cambio en el diseño del cobro de peajes en la traza del canal troncal que, en la práctica, le bajará el peaje a los puertos de Timbúes equiparándolo con lo que se paga en el resto de los puertos del Gran Rosario, una medida que beneficiará a los grandes puertos allí instalados como los de Cofco, Renova, Dreyfus, ACA y AGD. Y por el otro, eliminó la obligatoriedad de dragar desde Timbúes a la ciudad de Santa Fe a 25 pies, una decisión sustentada en que no hay ese tramo tránsito de grandes buques que lo justifique, pero que igual será de difícil digestión para el establishment de la capital provincial. Ambas medidas se tomaron en el marco del nuevo contrato de «concesión transitoria» firmado entre la Secretaría de Transporte de la Nación (como poder concedente de la gestión de la hidrovía) y la estatal Administración General de Puertos Sociedad del Estado (AGP), que tiene la concesión del sistema troncal de navegación desde que en 2021 se terminó la gestión privada. En ese marco, dialogamos con el senador por Santa Fe, Marcelo Lewandowski, se refirió a la decisión de Javier Milei y aseguró que «deja afuera a muchos puertos». «Están atentando claramente contra la producción», señaló, refiriéndose a las políticas que limitan el calado del río Paraná, lo que, según él, pone en riesgo la competitividad y logística de exportaciones no solo en Santa Fe, sino en gran parte del país. Lewandowski destacó que, aunque la composición de una comisión bicameral para el seguimiento de la vía navegable ya había sido votada hace años, actualmente el tema ni siquiera se está tratando en comisiones. «Es una decisión unilateral del gobierno que perjudica a todas las provincias al norte de Timbúes, dejándolas fuera de un sistema clave para la producción y exportación», advirtió. El senador también hizo hincapié en la falta de una estrategia nacional para recuperar las barcazas que han migrado a Paraguay, lo que agrava la situación. Según Lewandowski, esta falta de planificación está afectando seriamente la capacidad de los puertos argentinos para competir con las rutas bioceánicas que están desarrollando Brasil, Paraguay y Chile, dejando a Argentina fuera del circuito logístico más eficiente para exportar hacia Asia. Por otro lado, el legislador criticó la política actual hacia la industria de biocombustibles. «Se cometió un error legislativo al bajar el corte de biocombustibles, perjudicando no solo el desarrollo del sector, sino también el arraigo y valor agregado que generan en las pequeñas localidades», explicó. A pesar de esto, mencionó que se está avanzando en una nueva propuesta para aumentar el porcentaje de biocombustible en el gasoil, aunque el camino aún es largo. Por último, el santafesino apuntó contra el avance del gobierno en otras áreas estratégicas como ARSAT. «Nos estamos quedando sin control sobre áreas estratégicas como las comunicaciones, que son esenciales para el desarrollo de cualquier país. Privatizar ARSAT es un grave error que compromete nuestro futuro en el ámbito tecnológico», concluyó Lewandowski.

The decline in egg quality and sperm quality with age is a major limiting factor in infertility, which is a concern for women who choose to have babies later in life. 00:19:57 - Decline in Male Fertility, Dr. Shanna explains that research on the declining rate of male fertility has been around for 30 years. The first study in 1992 reported that sperm count had decreased by 50% in 50 years. However, this figure was met with skepticism. 00:23:30 - Early Puberty in Girls, Dr. Stephanie brings up the phenomenon of early puberty in girls, and Dr. Shanna explains that it is a real concern. Girls are starting menstruation earlier and earlier, which is not only a risk for psychological and social challenges but also for fertility. 00:25:46 - Environmental Factors Affecting Sperm Count, Dr. Shanna discusses her study on environmental factors affecting sperm count. She found that exposure to phthalates, a chemical found in plastics, is linked to lower sperm count. Exposure to other chemicals like bis00:34:10 - Factors Affecting Sperm Count, The recruitment bias and selection bias of the men in the studies from 1940 and 1990 were analyzed. The lifestyle factors of smoking, obesity, exercise, and stress were found to be important. Chemicals that affect the reproductive system, particularly testosterone and estrogen, were also identified.00:40:16 - Plastic Increase and Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals, After World War II, scientists were revered, and plastic production increased rapidly. However, plastic has a large number of chemicals that can alter hormones. Phthalates are particularly concerning as they lower testosterone levels and can affect genital formation during pregnancy.00:43:45 - Non-Monotonic Dose Response and Endocrinology, Hormones often respond non-linearly to low doses of chemicals, affecting not just testosterone, but also estrogen and the immune system. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals can have a significant effect, regardless of the dose.00:49:57 - Phthalate Syndrome, Phthalates can cause the phthalate syndrome, where exposure in utero in male rodents can affect genital formation and induce infertility and other health problems. Humans have phthalates in their bodies, and pregnant women are particularly at risk for exposure.00:51:44 - Development of Genitalia in Male and Female Fetuses, Dr. Swan explains how the genitals of fetuses develop under genetic regulation, and everything changes during a critical period of gestation. She highlights how testosterone contributes to the differentiation of genitalia in male fetuses and explains how insufficient testosterone exposure can undermasculinize males.00:54:27 - The Analogeneital Distance (AGD), Dr. Estima and Dr. Swan discuss the AGD and how it is an important distance that differentiates males and females in almost every mammal. They also discuss how it can be difficult to measure the AGD accurately because it is soft tissue and how standardization of the position of the legs is necessary when measuring the AGD.01:02:36 - The Phthalate Syndrome in Humans, Dr. Swan discusses how she found the phthalate syndrome in humans after researching variations in AGD, penile size, and descent of the testicles. She highlights how many papers have found other chemicals related to AGD and how she would love to see AGD become part of the standard of care.01:05:14 - Implications of AGD on Testosterone and Longevity, Dr. Swan explains how AGD has massive implications on men's capacity for testosterone, sperm production, and longevity. 01:08:09 - The Relationship between AGD and Sperm Count, Dr. Swan discusses her research on the relationship between AGD (anogenital distance) and sperm count. Her study found a direct linear relationship between the length of AGD and the number of sperm, indicating that the longer the AGD, the higher the sperm count. 01:13:27 - Phthalate Syndrome and Exposure, Dr. Swan explains phthalate syndrome, a condition assigned at birth that affects the male reproductive system and is caused by exposure to phthalates. She discusses the common sources of phthalates, such as plastic tubing, personal care products, and food packaging. 01:15:24 - NICU Exposure and Other Hormonal Effects, Dr. Swan highlights the dangers of exposure to phthalates and other hormone-disrupting chemicals in the NICU, where preemies are especially vulnerable. She also notes that these chemicals can affect other hormonal systems in the body, such as lung development, brain development, and blood pressure. 01:20:28 - BPA-Free Products and Other Chemicals, Dr. Swan addresses the issue of manufacturers substituting BPA-free products with similar chemicals that have the same effects. She also mentions other chemicals that disrupt hormones, such as PFAS chemicals in Teflon and sunscreen. 01:26:10 - Gender Dysphoria and Environmental Chemicals, Dr. Swan explores the relationship between gender dysphoria and exposure to environmental chemicals. She acknowledges the complexity of the topic and emphasizes the need for further research before drawing conclusions.We'd like to thank our sponsorsAthletic Greens – redeem an exclusive offer hereFourSigmatic Use code DRSTEPHANIE for 10% offOrion Red Light Therapy – Use the code STEPHANIE10 for 10% offSchinouusa – Use code DR.ESTIMA10 for 10% offBIOOPTIMIZERS – receive 10% off your order with Promo Code “ESTIMA”The DNA Company – $50 discount using code “DRSTEPHANIE” at checkout.HVMN Ketones – get 10% off your order with Promo Code “STEPHANIE”ILIA BeautyLiving Libations – Use code BETTER for 15% offLMNT Electrolytes – A FREE 7-flavor sample pack!PRIMEADINE – get 10% Off your Order with Promo Code “DRSTEPHANIE10”Follow Me On InstagramWatch Better! on YouTubeGet yourself a copy of my best-selling book, The Betty BodyJoin the Hello Betty Community hereSign up for my FREE MASTERCLASS: HEALTHY OFFERS – for health practitioners looking for strategies to earn more moneyAre you A Healthcare Practitioner?
