We live in such an era and face such a century, in which the growth of the- world population, the problems deriving from the population explosion will create an unprecedented and never recurring situation for Hungary and the Hungarian animal husbandry as regards the tasks and possibilities ahead us. While presently 6 billion people live on Earth, in the first century of the third millenary the population can reach 10-12 billion and is expected to stagnate around that number.The Third World, the so-called developing countries struggling with enormous difficulties, makes up for 90% of the annual population growth of 80-90 million people, while the population of the developed countries is stagnant or decreasing. In this aspect, Hungary' s situation is extremely worrisome, because our population has been decreasing for two decades, and according to recent demographic forecasts could drop to 8 million in the next century if the present trend continues. This should be impeded, among others with the contribution of animal husbandry.The author evaluates the genetical possibilities with the help of which stockbreeders can meet the requirements of the future

In less than two centuries the process of industrialisation has spread from a tiny triangle in Britain to nearly 25 per cent of the world population. But it has so far largely by-passed the Third World, including China and socialist East Asia, and the southern periphery of Europe from Portugal to Bulgaria. These developing countries account for almost 75 per cent of the world population, but for only 20 per cent of the world income. On the other hand, the developed countries, with only 25 per cent of the population, have an average income per capita about ten times as high, and account for as much as 80 per cent of the real world output.

Each year in the developed countries of the world 100 million patients acquire scars; and there are 11 million keloid scars among them. Aim of the study. Evaluate the effectiveness of treatment and dynamics of scar condition when using self-adhesive dressings (silicone sheet; silicone patch) with a layer of soft silicone. Patients and methods. A clinical prospective observational study of the dynamics of scarring conditions using selfadhesive dressings with a layer of silicone sheet (soft silicone) was conducted in 27 patients. Results. It was shown that by the third visit (42 days after inclusion in the study); the color changed towards lightening and disappearing red; in the largest group with dark red scars at the beginning of the study 43.7% completed the study with light pink scars; 43.7% with hyperpigmented and 5.26% with normopigmented (р 0.0001). Also significant was the dynamics of changes in the position of the scar relative to the level of normal skin (р 0.0001) with level alignment in case it was initially lower than the level of normal skin. The condition of the scar surface by the third visit normalized; in all patients the surface became even (p = 0.0044). There was a marked increase in the number of easily displaceable scars (from 11.1% to 37.0%; p = 0.0003). Also; by the third visit; itching disappeared in all patients (р 0.0001). Conclusion. Overall; the study showed marked improvement across all parameters studied. Silicone sheet; one of the most widely used forms of silicone-based dressings; to be an effective treatment scar management.

ABSTRACTI shall argue that adoption of linguistics at institutions of higher learning in its present international disciplinary form, and in its expression through the medium of English (because English is a major foreign or second language in much of the world and the by far dominant language for the discipline of linguistics), can be contrary to the public good in less developed countries (LDCs) and emerging speech communities. Linguistics in its current international disciplinary form serves needs different from those of emerging speech communities, where a new language treatment system ought to be created by a new cadre of caretakers of the community's language resources.

The manifold torments of the Third World press themselves upon all of us for solution. Poverty, disease, oppression, early death: this is the fate of most of mankind. Today all the world plucks at the sleeves of the academy, asking, What do you know? What are you good for?1 Any answer must include a statement of the discipline's response to the troubles that beset the less-developed countries. How lawyers respond ought to define the domain of the study of law and development.

Nutrition Behaviour

An attempt is made in this paper to consider first the current nutritional scene with its problems, and then to suggest strategies for improvement. Since the quality of people’s diets everywhere is influenced by many different factors, not least by availability of food, a bility to pay for it, and some (however basic) understanding of its effects upon health, a strong plea is made for consideration to be given to those most in need of nutritional help—the least advantaged and least motivated groups in the developed countries, as well as the poor in the Third World. Some strategies aimed at improving nutrition behaviour are outlined.

AbstractThis article argues for a historical materialist approach, which exposes the condition of widespread routine poverty, unemployment and malnutrition in the world to be a modern worldhistorical product, the outcome of five centuries of global capitalist expansion under relations of imperialism. The bourgeoisie has, through its exploitation of its world-market, given a cosmopolitan character to production and consumption in every country. All established national industries have been destroyed or are daily being destroyed. They are dislodged by new industries, whose introduction becomes a life and death question for all civilised nations, by industries that no longer work up indigenous raw materials, but raw material drawn from the remotest zones; industries whose products are consumed, not only at home, but in every quarter of the globe. It creates wealth but also inequality. As a result of this globalisation, over 75 percent of the world population lives in underdevelopment, and extreme poverty has already reached 1.2 billion people in the third world. The revenue of the richest nations that in 1960 was 37 times larger then that of the poorest is now 82 times larger in 2002. The situation has such extremes that the assets of the three-wealthiest persons in the world amount to the GDP of the 48 poorest countries combined. The most affluent 5 per cent in the globe presently earn 114 times as much as the poorest 5 per cent. Even more mind-boggling, the 500 richest people currently own $1.54 trillion, which is more than the entire GDP of Africa. The central premise of this study is to analysis of the pattern of trade, development and inequality between the advanced industrial countries and the rest of the world. The growth of capitalism in nineteenth century Europe would have been possible to exploit of African and Asian markets and source of raw materials. In the new imperialism era, by the fact that Britain's predominant position in world markets was then beginning to be challenge by industrial rivals like the Americans. Both America and the European Union they have been possible to exploit of the Third World markets. This study is to evaluate to promote the local technological capacity co-operation among the south region for the development in the new era of globalisation. This co-operation is dealt with as agents for promoting industrial development in developing world, employment generation to locals, plus further export expansion from these regions.

Globalization of business is bringing in seasoned competitors from the developed countries into the growing markets of the Third World. Consequently, the survival of local enterprises and entrepreneurs is being threatened. Third World managers need to develop a global mindset in order to take advantage of the changed new world order in business. Elucidates the notion of global mindset and examines some typical management training methods and techniques for their adequacy to develop this orientation among Third World managers. Discusses relevant cultural, organizational and macro‐environmental issues. Presents conclusions and recommendations for Third World contexts in respect of Western training methods and business school curricula for broadening the managerial horizons in this era of globalized business.

Resumen: El número de personas con obesidad ha crecido a nivel mundial desde 105 millones de personas en 1975 hasta 640 en 2016, y esta cifra no para de aumentar. Si las tendencias actuales no cambian, un 20% de la población mundial será obesa para el año 2025. A pesar de que existen regiones en el mundo en las que la pobreza y la hambruna matan a decenas de miles de personas cada día, en los países desarrollados y emergentes el crecimiento económico ha traído consigo más y más comida, pero sobre todo, muchas calorías poco saludables y estilos de vida más sedentarios. Los gobiernos, incapaces de detener esta epidemia sanitaria, tendrán que prepararse para unos costes médicos cada vez mayores. Ante esta situación, es evidente la necesidad de proponer nuevas políticas que permitan frenar el aumento de la obesidad en la población, para así evitar que se produzca una epidemia de severa obesidad. En este artículo resaltaremos aquellas políticas que incluyen tecnologías que permitan asegurar la saludabilidad de los productos alimentarios que se ingieren, que propongan programas mejorados de entrenamiento para la salud, aumenten el nivel de autoeficacia, autorregulación y motivación para cambiar el comportamiento alimentario del usuario.Palabras clave: Obesidad, Prevención, Tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones, Aplicaciones móviles Abstract: The number of people suffering obesity has grown at world level from 105 millions in 1975 until 640 in 2016, and this number is still increasing. If this trend does not change, it is estimated that the 20% of the world population will be obesity by 2025. Although there are several regions in the world where the poverty and the famine is killing to thousands of people every day, in the developed countries the economical growing has derived in more and more food, but above all, in a lot of unhealthy food and more sedentary lifestyles. The Goverments are not able to stop this health epidemic, so they have to be ready to cope with very high medical costs associated to this problem. Due to this situation, it is evident the requirement to propose new policy measures to stop the obesity in the population, and avoid an epidemic of severe and global obesity. In this paper it is described some of the technological measures whose aim is to monitor and ensure the good quality of food, and propose different training programs for the health, increasing their effectiveness through the self-regulation and the encourage of people to change their nutritional behaviour.

The Status

Almost 50 per cent of the world population is constituted by the women and they have been making substantial contribution to socio-economic development. But, unfortunately their tremendous contribution remains unrecognized and unnoticed in most of the developing and least developed countries causing the problem of poverty among them. Empowering women has become the key element in the development of an economy. With women moving forward, the family moves, the village moves and the nation moves. Hence, improving the status of women by way of their economic empowerment is highly called for. Entrepreneurship is a key tool for the economic empowerment of women around the world for alleviating poverty. Entrepreneurship is now widely recognized as a tool of economic development in India also. In this paper I have tried to discuss the reasons and role of Women Entrepreneurship with the help of Push and Pull factors. In the last I have also discussed the problems and the road map of Women Entrepreneurs development in India.
