The prospects of biogas as a major energy option to alleviate the energy needs in Africa is huge based on its teeming population. However, the main source of biogas i.e. human excretal is being neglected, thereby loosing resource worth 500 MW of electricity. This research is geared towards estimating the accruable biogas that can be harnessed in a typical student hostel in a developing country. The data was collected at the main chamber of the hostel. The estimation of the optimized state of methane, hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide is given as 12%, 0.94% and 4.42% respectively. It was also affirmed that the algae growth on the walls of the sewage line is responsible for the low carbon dioxide values. Also, it was reported that the production of hydrogen sulphide gas is predictable, as it is not directly related to the concentration of microorganism in the sewage chamber. This research gives an eye-opener on biogas wastage in developing countries

Introduction: Papanicolaou test was introduced in 1943 by the Dr. George Papanicolaou as an examination of early detection for the Cancer Cérvico Uterino (CACU), it is the most frequent test of detection in women who do not have symptoms. It is the most common second type of cancer in women, of the different types of cancer that they affect the women in reproductive present age in developing countries, rural populations and indigenous zones. I target: to identify the sociocultural factors that they interfere in the accomplishment of the Papanicolaou in wives of a community indigenous to Saint Thomas of Tenosique municipality of Pino Suárez, Tabasco. Methodology: Quantitative descriptive, market investigation across the sampling not probabilistic for incidental convenience with one n = 23 women with ages between 25 and 35 alive years sexual activates. Results: Results: it predominated over the item of age between 29 and 35 years; the level of education that prevails is the primary one, for the marital status the majority is in free union and up to the moment it has had 2 sexual pairs in his life; the beginning of sexual active life that prevails is 16 to 20 years, and the Papanicolaou has never been realized by motives of lack of interest, by the influence of the pair and for not knowing the purpose of there being realized the procedure of periodic form. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the women have an indifferent attitude towards Papanicolaou capture; since 83.3% of the women presents this attitude, of equal way 70.8 % agrees very in that there is important the opinion of his pair the test to take.

For generations, this urban bias in policy making, inherited from colonial times, has stunted the growth of human capital among the vast rural populations of [developing] countries.
