Methods Of Treatment

Different methods of treatment options and dressing materials are available in today’s era of medical management of wounds. Trilaminar dermal regeneration template (TDRT) has been in use since the 1980s but owing to its high cost, its affordability and availability in third world developing countries is sparse. Here we have described our experience with the use of an indigenously made cost effective dermal regeneration template made from available materials in management of burns

Various modalities of treatment options and dressing materials are available in today’s era of medical advancement. A lot of newer dressing materials and adjuncts are in use for burn wound management. Bilaminar dermal regeneration template has been in use since the 1980s but owing to its high cost, its affordability and availability in third world developing countries is questionable. Here we have described our experience with the use of an indigenously made cost effective dermal regeneration template made from available materials in degloving injury raw area.

The Third World

The author focuses on problems in the economy of the developing countries likely to arise as a consequence of mineral exploitation in the new territories. A general shortage of mineral resources, although predicted, should not uncritically be adopted as a sufficient explanation of the demonstrated interest of industrial enterprises in undertaking heavy investments in the new territories. The economic security claimed by institutions financing large-scale investments, may just as likely force the companies to seek options for long-term supplies from these areas, unhampered by the politically caused instabilities perceived in the Third World. This development may tend to push the developing countries into the role of subsidiary suppliers in the world market. The committees preparing the UN Conference on the Law of the Sea have so far taken no realistic measures to counteract this possibility, which may prove detrimental to the economies of several developing countries. The Conference will, in the opinion of the author, provide little but a settlement of disputed interests among the coastal states.

Purpose. To determine the diagnostic yield and utility of STVEEG with verbal suggestion in diagnosis of patients presenting with transient unresponsiveness and suspected psychogenic nonepileptiform seizures. Methods. A retrospective analysis of STVEEG records of patients with transient unresponsiveness and suspected PNES between 1 Jan 2009 and 28 Feb 2014 was done. Results. Amongst 155 patients [38 males, 117 females], with mean age 32 [8–67], PNES were identified in 109 [70.3%], focal epilepsy was identified in 24 [15.4%], and actual seizure was recorded in 7 [4.5%]. Nine [5.8%] patients were found to have both epilepsy and PNES. Primary generalized epilepsy was diagnosed in 2 [1.2%]. A diagnosis of other paroxysmal nonepileptiform events [tachyarrhythmia and heart block] was done in 3 [1.9%]. A normal EEG and no inducible episode and hence an uncertain diagnosis at the end of STVEEG were seen in only 17 [10.9%] patients. A STVEEG of approximately one hour duration was able to establish the diagnosis in 138 [89.1%] patients with transient unresponsiveness. Conclusion. STVEEG with verbal suggestion is a useful and cost effective diagnostic test for diagnosis of PNES. It can be a good modality for diagnosis in patients with transient abnormalities in sensorium in the outpatient settings in developing countries.

The International Symposium on Science and Technology for Development, held in Singapore from 22–26 January 1979:(1) Demonstrated that cooperative action could be taken by international nongovernmental organizations which are concerned about the role of science and technology in the UN Conference on Science and Technology for Development (UNCSTD);(2) Caused a coalescing of these concerns in a commitment to bring the resources of science and technology to bear on Third-World problems;(3) Resulted in a strengthened commitment to revitalize the patterns of cooperation of nongovernmental scientific and technical (S&T) organizations to expand their ties to intergovernmental agencies; and(4) Led to an advised framework of action involving four groups, proposing: a) a network of institutions in developing countries to identify problems from the perspective of the developing countries themselves; b) a ‘switching mechanism’ in the nongovernmental sector to link the less developed countries (LDCs) with the resources of scientific and technological talent in industrialized nations; c) a multiplication of the collaboration of donor institutions; and d) a revitalization of the UN system for due application of S&T to development, accompanied by a more active working partnership with international nongovernmental organizations.

Culture Of Consumption

In this paper the author describes the significance of consumer society in restricting conflicts in the contemporary world. He presents the selected concepts of consumer society. In addition, he concentrates on the features typical of consumer society, particularly the role of the culture of consumption, consumerism, individualism, cultural narcissism, consumer freedom, and an ability to expand through the means of patterns and the systems of values characteristic of consumer society on the inhabitants of developing countries. The paper most frequently describes the conflicts associated with the sphere of consumption, including those related to the exclusion of large social groups from consumption. The author points to the features of consumer society which minimize the occurrence of armed conflicts in highly developed countries. By employing the concept of G. Lipovetsky concerning fashion society, the author indicates that the expansion of consumer society to Third World countries may restrict the occurrence of armed conflicts.

AbstractThe historical development of astronomy in the Caribbean is reviewed within its cultural and environmental framework. The present status of astronomy in education, research and at the popular level is presented also with the focus being on its development in the island of Trinidad and Tobago in particular. We review what works in small developing islands versus larger developed or developing countries and the peculiar trials and tribulations of our circumstances as well as the rewards of such efforts. The critical role of students and volunteer effort will be highlighted. The psychological and cultural aspect and its role in the development of astronomy in the Caribbean is also explored. The outlook for the next decade will be highlighted with a brief proposal of having a node for TWAN (Third World Astronomy Network) in Trinidad in the Caribbean.

Local Input

Since 1950, 28 developing countries have produced tanks, ships, aircraft, other major weapons systems, and infantry and artillery weapons for their own use and for export. Local input has ranged from assembly of imported components to completely indigenous design and manufacture. In 1967 exports from lessdeveloped countries (LDCs) were worth $194 million, as compared to exports from all sources of $201 billion. By 1976 world arms exports had increased to $398 billion and LDC exports to $820 million (ACDA, 1978). Even though the role of lessdeveloped countries in world arms production is still small, it is growing and can be significant in some local and regional contexts.Nascent defense industries in the Third World raise important questions. Terrorists, insurgents, and governments everywhere may find arms more readily available as sources of supply diversify. The spread of weapons manufacture both reflects and promotes the diffusion of power within the international system at large.

Analyze Data

Rapid pace of urbanization which has affected third world countries is a by-product of the post-1945 period. In most developing countries like Iran, spatial population distribution is not balanced, leading to the deficiencies in services, hygiene, formation of slums, and etc. To balance those patterns in the country, different strategies have been applied, one of which is the construction of new cities. This study aims to examine the role of new cities in balancing spatial population distribution in Tehran province. For this purpose, first, the changes in the population of Iran and its urban mechanisms are studied; then, the performances of new towns in previous decades are examined. To analyze data and investigate the role of new cities, entropy coefficient model was used. The results showed that new towns of Tehran have not affected population overflow and deconcentration successfully; as a result, urban officials need to revise construction policies in those cities.
