Current role of grasslands in development of agriculture and rural areas in Poland - an example of mountain voivodships małopolskie and podkarpackie In paper the current situation of agriculture activity in mountain areas in Poland on the example of two mountain voivodships: małopolskie and podkarpackie was presented. Particular the role of permanent grasslands in development of agriculture and rural areas was highlighted. The tools for support of agriculture development in mountain areas i.e. LFA payments, payments for cow and sheep raising were presented. The future prospects of the development of mountain areas in Poland were showed.

The Future

Inflammation is an adaptive response to injury, but uncontrolled inflammation can lead to tissue damage and disease. Research in our laboratory (since confirmed in different laboratories worldwide) has shown that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) acts as a mediator of inflammation in different disease conditions. Learning about a novel mediator of inflammation results in unique opportunities with which to approach inflammatory diseases. At the same time, the complexity of biological systems and translation of research from the bed to the bedside also presents challenges. This Editorial aims to discuss the opportunities and challenges in relation to the role of H2S in inflammation, and the future prospects for this research.

Richard Feynman

When Dr. Richard Feynman first gave the good news in 1959 that nanotechnology was on its way to change or perhaps transform the world of technology, many people might have considered his concepts too futuristic to be realized. Criminals, on the other hand, would not have known how effective nanotechnological tools would become in solving crimes in a few decades. Among some of the medical applications of the technology are drug production, diagnostics, and production of medical as well as forensic tools and devices. Forensic science can be described as the sum of scientific tests or techniques used in the investigation of crimes. This chapter is, therefore, aimed at introducing and discussing nanotechnology as applied in forensic science along with instrumentation used in performing nano-analysis. The future prospects of the technology as employed in forensic science and toxicity of nanomaterials are also dealt with in this chapter.

Cancer chemoprevention refers to the use of agents for the inhibition, delay, or reversal of carcinogenesis before invasion. In the present review, agents examined in the context of cancer chemoprevention are classified in four major categories—hormonal, medications, diet-related agents, and vaccines—and the main representatives of each category are presented. Although there are serious constraints in the documentation of effectiveness of chemopreventive agents, mainly stemming from the long latency of the condition they are addressing and the frequent lack of intermediate biomarkers, there is little disagreement about the role of aspirin, whereas a diet rich in vegetables and fruits appears to convey more protection than individual micronutrients. Among categories of cancer chemopreventive agents, hormonal ones and vaccines might hold more promise for the future. Also, the identification of individuals who would benefit most from chemopreventive interventions on the basis of their genetic profiles could open new prospects for cancer chemoprevention.

The school defines a system that is too complex to be reduced to functions and practices. Humanity saw the school as a ‘multi-dimensional structure’ in its development adventure; ıts necessity was generally considered to be ‘vital’. Until the last century, there was hardly any serious criticism that the school was unnecessary. Especially the differences such as the innovations of the new century, the monist perspective, the possibilities of the digital world gave the opportunity to discuss the role of the school and its current role was frequently brought up. Even though the evaluations made over the school with the works of thinkers such as Gatto and Illich have a fair share, it will be seen that these are criticisms developed on the basis of ‘negative examples’. In the digital age where the vehicle is rich and purpose is impoverished, the school must be reconstructed as a challenging metaphor. There is a need for a vision of a school that prioritizes the human with wisdom without blessing the machine. In this context, our study regards the school of the future as the most critical institutional phenomenon for human rejuvenation ‘despite all’. School as a natural system is considered to be the strongest structure to rebuild the future against actual and popular ‘negativities’.

AbstractSince Jenner's time, there have always been enthusiasts and skeptics about the role of vaccines in the prevention of disease. This introduction explains why, at this time, it is crucial to assess the historical role vaccines have played in limiting damage caused by infectious diseases, the role they can play in the future, and the technologies that are best suited to achieving optimal gains for public health and development worldwide.

The Future

With their growing economic power and international influence, the BRICS group of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa are paying increasing attention to international development assistance. Although the BRICS countries started later than western developed countries, the speed of their development is staggering and their share in foreign aid is gradually increasing. The BRICS countries continue to innovate forms of assistance and cooperation in their own international development assistance, to strengthen cooperation with recipient countries, and to plan their own foreign aid work through the establishment of relevant institutions and the publication of relevant documents. But, at the same time, the BRICS countries are facing certain challenges in the process of international development assistance. This article examines the historical practice of BRICS’ international development assistance, analyzes the role BRICS plays in international development assistance, and considers the future prospects for BRICS’ participation.

Objective - In relation to this, this paper is aimed at portraying the elements of hisbah with regard to the contemporaneous atmosphere; namely ombudsman within the ambit of the modern world. Methodology/Technique - In the process of playing its important role of enjoining good and forbidding evil, this system has been evolved in accordance with the surrounding atmosphere wonderfully. It should be emphasized that the fundamental doctrines and principles has been rooted since the period of the Prophet's lifetime. Consequently, this administration system of justice later has been developed luxuriously to be institutionalized, together with own identity and entity during the period of Al-Mawardi (died 450 H). Simultaneously, the fuqaha has played such significant roles by virtue of this remarkably scenario, that is, for the purpose of governing the principles of justice in the society properly. Findings - The institution of hisbah has been acknowledged as one of the main components of Islamic judicial institutions which has a link with various institutions, inter alia, qada', mazalim and also shurtah. Novelty - In addition, it is hoped that; throughout this paper, a better understanding could be gained pertaining to the future prospects of hisbah holistically.
