Los objetivos de la sexualidad humana son dos realmente : la reproducción y la satisfacción de la necesidad de amor. [...] Sin embargo, las exigencias reproductivas abarcan sólo unas diez horas de las siete mil que el ser humano promedio dedica al sexo, a lo largo de su vida.

El cambio de los roles de género [...] requiere, ineludiblemente, de la eficiencia demográfica inherente a la elevadísima supervivencia actual, y de la consecuente rebaja de las exigencias reproductivas, que es la que hace claramente disfuncional la tradicional asignación de prácticamente la mitad de la población, la femenina, a las tareas de procreación y crianza de los hijos [...] 3, record 2, Spanish, - exigencia%20reproductiva

[...] la radiotoxicité spécifique d'un radionucléide n'est qu'un des facteurs de sa nuisance potentielle. Les quantités produites et leur évolution dans le temps, pour les nucléides de longue période leur accumulation, les phénomènes de concentration et de transfert, la combinaison de ces facteurs, peuvent dans certains cas justifier l'attention accordée à des radionucléides de faible radiotoxicité spécifique. Aussi a-t-on cherché à étudier tout particulièrement les radionucléides les plus importants par leur activité massique, leur durée de vie, les quantités produites ou les voies d'atteintes possibles, autrement dit par la nuisance potentielle qu'ils représentent. 5, record 4, French, - vie%20moyenne
