A következő évtizedekben a világ népességének várható életkilátásai fokozatosan javulnak. Például az Egyesült Államokban demográfiai előrejelzések szerint a 60 éves kort elért népesség legalább 90 év megélésére számíthat. A demográfiai jellemzők markáns változása drámai változásokat, új szükségleteket és megközelítéseket jelez előre az úgynevezett aktív munkatevékenység utáni évekre (post career life). Ebben az írásban a hosszabb élet perspektíváinak bemutatásán túl, elsősorban a fejlett gazdaságokban, szervezetekben foglalkoztatott menedzserekre, vezetőkre irányítjuk figyelmünket, feltételezve, hogy az ő távozásuk biztosan jelentős hatást gyakorol korábbi szervezetük életére, technológiai, pénzügyi, gazdasági sikereire. Ez a munkavállalói réteg nagy valószínűséggel rendelkezik már megfelelő anyagi háttérrel ahhoz, hogy érdekeinek megfelelő, ésszerű döntést hozhat arról, mikor és milyen szempontok szerint válassza meg nyugdíjba vonulását és az azt követő időszak különböző aktív tevékenységeit *** The life expectancy of the world population is continuously improving. For example, according to demographic forecasts, in the United States, the population having reached the age of 60 can expect at least 90 years of life. The drastic changes in the demographic data prognosticate dramatic changes, new demands and approaches concerning the so-called post-career life. In this paper, in addition to introducing the perspectives of a longer life, we primarily focus on the managers and leaders employed in developed economies and organizations, supposing that their retirement will surely have a considerable impact on the life and the technological, financial and economic successes of their organizations. A number of the employees are probably in possession of a financial background allowing them to make a reasonable decision serving their interests on the time and aspects of retirement and the activities don in the subsequent period.

Regular inspections are carried out to ensure system conformity by the Food and Drugs Regulatory Authority (FDA) of the United States one of the most stringent regulatory authorities in the world. The inspectors send Form 483 to the management after the inspection, detailing the inappropriate conditions. Because the FDA guidelines are difficult to comply with, a company can contravene the regulations. If any significant infringements can affect the protection, quality, effectiveness, or public health of the drug is identified, the FDA issues advice to the company. Warning Letters (WL) shall be an official notification of non-compliance with federal law within a period to be issued by manufacturer, clinician, distributor, or responsible person in the company. The delivery of a letter has a considerable impact on the company's reputation and position in the market. Inadequate WL reactions could lead to a refusal, import denial, memorandum or even conviction and order. A brief study was conducted in this document of Form 483 and WL for four years (2017–2020) on an understanding the regulatory provisions.

This paper examines developing issues and attitudes that unite and divide the United States and the European Union as the discussion and regulation of agriculture evolves. While some terms, such as “organic,” are defined in law in both the United States and European Union, the increasingly used “sustainability” is an evolving concept. The main sustainability issue is how to provide food and fiber for a rapidly growing world population. In this context, the role of biotechnology is questioned. Americans tend to favor what are sometimes called genetically modified crops, while Europeans remain cautious. Europeans lean more toward organic farming, while Americans assert that much of the world will starve if organic methods are required. This paper reviews the directions that the discussion of these issues is taking and will show areas of agreement and where the two sides diverge.

The purpose of this chapter is to define the dynamics of the economic infrastructure, which supports any civilization and defines the modus operandi of the world civilization in the 21st century and third millennium. This chapter especially addresses the economic roles of two countries/civilizations: Will the Chinese economy, as many suggest, continue its strong economic advance under its system of “authoritarian capitalism” and surpass in size that of the United States and its economically integrated partners (currently NAFTA), or will China convulse and stagnate? This chapter explores the scenario that the United States will see its destiny at the heart of a free trade area of the Atlantic with an economy significantly greater than China’s and with an even larger population. China will remain the dominant Asian economy, but it will do so independently, not as part of a regional economic union. The future of capitalism is also addressed. What kind of capitalism or other economic system must be applied in order to keep the world population within the threshold of the Ecosystem? The answer to this question will determine the future of civilization.

[The If the World Were a Village book (Smith, 2011) and activity (described in this article)] was a really good way to open one’s perspective. As an American, I tend to be a bit focused on the United States, so to see how much [or how little] of the world is actually represented in my perspective was enlightening. Living in the United States . . . I was surprised that only 5% [of the world population] were from North America. Long-standing and ongoing calls exist for making mathematics meaningful, relevant, and applicable outside the classroom. Major mathematics education organizations (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [NCTM], National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics [NCSM], Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators [AMTE], TODOS: Mathematics for ALL) have called for mathematics to be seen as a tool for understanding and critiquing the world. To prepare students and teachers to do this, we must go beyond “everyday" contexts and include analysis of social justice issues into our courses. We share an activity designed to address these calls while also addressing the mathematics goals of the course. We share data showing that prospective teachers learned mathematics while also learning about their world and reframing their view of mathematics as a tool to make sense of the world.

The article provides a synthetic analysis of the interrelationships between economic development, the primary economic measure of which is the size of Gross Domestic Product, and the volume of transport work measured in tkm and pkm. The study was conducted over a 30-year time series based on the polynomial curves of the most-developed economies (the United States, Japan, China and EU-28) and Russia, the largest area of the world, with large natural resources and significant military industry, and constantly increasing since 2004 GDP. The research shows that GDP in the whole period (1995–2015) in the United States, Japan and the European Union is growing rapidly, significantly ahead of the tkm and pkm transport indicators. In China and Russia, GDP growth has been increasing since 2003, while the dynamic growth of transport (in billion tkm) in 1995–2015 is well ahead of economic growth (GDP). In Poland, trends in the development of the GDP measurement and transport indicators (tkm and pkm) are similar to those of Russia and China.

Scientists have written numerous papers studying different aspects of health systems in the world. Comparing health systems in the world is essential for policymakers to learn from each other to make healthcare services effective with better outcomes and decrease the cost of healthcare services. In the world, countries have different health systems. The difference in the health systems is a combination of components that are specific to each country based on the financial status of healthcare, workforce, and infrastructures. This paper will evaluate the contrast of Canadian and American health systems payment systems, timely access, and healthcare quality outcomes. Both countries are well-developed countries that have a health system with excellent infrastructure and effective healthcare services. However, the system operates differently in both countries. America does not have a universal healthcare plan and spends more money per capita compared to Canada. The United States has a lower rank than its peer, underperforms in maternal mortality, infant mortality, preventable deaths, and life expectancy. On the other hand, Canada has a universal healthcare plan for all Canadian residents and performs better in life expectancy, infant mortality, and maternal mortality. However, waiting for specialized care is longer than in the United States.
