Development planning is a multicriteria problem. Apart from economic goals (like economic growth, income distribution, employment, price stability, balance of payments, etc.) a set of basic human needs (like food, health , housing, clothing, education, etc.) has to be fulfilled within a limited time horizon. Of course, not all targets of economic policy can reach desirable levels within a plan period given scarce resources and trade-offs between goals and basic needs. Priorities have to be formulated and goals and needs have to be weighted against another. Multicriteria analysis can contribute to this weighing process by circumscribing feasible areas and by quantifying above mentioned trade-offs. The purpose of this paper is to present an illustration of multicriteria analysis in which at least two goals of economic policy (growth and employment) and one basic human need (education) are incorporated. The model is applied to Pakistan due to data access.

Needs Theory

This paper applies the Human Needs Theory to Uighur terrorism. The theory posits that people become violent when their basic human needs are unfulfilled, denied, or taken away from them. Also referred to as the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), Uighur terrorists are a minority group of Muslim extremists in the western Chinese Autonomous Region of Xinjiang. Until the mid-1700s, they were considered a peaceful group, but when they lost their autonomy during the Qing dynasty rule (until 1910), and faced oppression by their new government, they resorted to violence. In this case, the Uighurs’ human need “stolen” by the Chinese was their identity. Not only is the Uighur issue underrepresented in the media; it has also received such negligible attention that most governments and scholars believe that the Autonomous Region of Xinjiang is mostly occupied by terrorists.

Basic Human Needs

The appropriate use of limited natural resources for generating basic human needs such as energy, food, and water, is essential to help the society function efficiently. Hence, a new approach called nexus is being considered to resolve the effects of intrinsic trade-offs between the essential needs. A review of different methods and frameworks of the water-energy-food nexus was done in this article to give a detailed repository of information on existing approaches and advocate the development of a more holistic quantitative nexus method. Assessing biofuels under the water-energy-food nexus perspective, this review addresses the sustainability of bioenergy production. The results show the countries that can sustainably produce first-generation biofuels. Only a few methods have varied interdisciplinary procedures to analyse the nexus, and more analytical software and data on resource availability/use are needed to address trade-offs between these interacting resource sectors constituting the nexus. Also, “land” is suggested as an additional sector to consider in future studies using both the nexus index and life cycle assessment methodology. The review reveals that to tackle composite challenges related to resource management, cross-disciplinary methods are essential to integrate environmental, socio-political facets of water, energy, and food; employ collaborative frameworks; and seek the engagement of decision-makers.

Proper Design

Frank Bechling recently wrote that “the concentration on the trade-off between unemployment and inflation and the neglect of trade-offs between unemployment and other variables (balance of payments, economic growth, structural change, and income distribution) may lead to a suboptimal choice between inflation and unemployment.” Starting from this proposition, this paper uses a simple yet believable model to construct simulated short-run transformation curves for major economic objectives. One of these curves is the familiar Phillips curve relation between inflation and unemployment. Proper design of policy demands knowledge of subjective preferences, as well as objective tradeoffs, among economic goals. A tentative empirical method for investigating preferences is set out, along with some initial findings.

Consumption Activity

Satisfaction in fulfilling what someone want to consume is the measure of happiness. Such shopping now becomes an endless human need. Herein lies the consumption in the sense of altering “consumption as necessary” into “consumption as wants”. In this case, it is intended that one’s motivation for spending is no longer to meet basic human needs, but rather to relate to their identity. This proves that the culture of consumerism has changed the pattern of people’s dependence in consume. This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the pattern of consumption of modern society in terms of Islam; especially Imam al-Ghazali in Ihya ‘Ulumuddin. The conclusion of this study is that Al-Ghazali laid the foundation of a Muslim's life by attaining the goal of the salvation of the hereafter. As for one way to achieve the purpose of the Hereafter by running the consumption activity based on Islamic sharia.

Introduction: Accidental tetanus is an infectious disease with systemic repercussions and high lethality. Due to the complexity surrounding the care for these patients, nursing care must be conducted in a systematic, scientific and individualized way. Objective: To report the experience of systematization of nursing care to a patient affected by accidental tetanus in the light of the Basic Human Needs theory. Outline: This is a descriptive study, an experience report, developed in March 2019 after nursing care for a patient diagnosed with accidental tetanus, admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) of a public hospital. Results: The elaboration of the care plan included information about the risk diagnosis and real diagnosis, nursing interventions and expected results, associated with the affected basic human need. Implications: It is well known that the provision of qualified care in the admission of patients with suspected accidental tetanus as well as their proper referral to the ICU contributes to a better prognosis.
