The main objective was to synthesize the importance of handicrafts among tourists who visited the markets "El Pueblito" and "La Diana" in Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico. The methodology used was cabinet work between September 2018 and March 2019 in order to compile the existing documentary information on the study categories: souvenirs, crafts and tourism. A questionnaire made up of 26 items was also prepared, of which the responses of the most relevant that contribute to the achievement of the general objective are presented here. Among the results, it was found that the products that are most in demand among tourists are those derived from coconut, namely: coconut sweets, decorative items based on the said vegetable product of natural origin, among others. The most relevant conclusion was that from the economic point of view, handicrafts represent an important source of income for the members of the native groups that make handicrafts on a small scale with affordable costs. This research contributes to the recent international bibliography on artisan souvenirs that are elaborated with love, enthusiasm and identity, by people from the population groups originating from the various parts of the world.

The Banking system in India and all over the world is based on the interest system. Interest bearing money is almost like the law of nature where money generates money. However, an alternative banking system called Islamic banking which prohibits charging of interest and is based on profit/loss sharing system became popular in many countries. Global Islamic banking assets attained compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 17% from 2009 to 2013 according to the World Islamic Banking Competitiveness Report 2014-2015. The Indian Banking system has undergone many changes in the recent past with deregulation of banking system paving way for new banks in India. However, Islamic banking which has emerged as a global phenomenon lately has not evolved as a full-fledged system in India though is it operative through the NBFC route. The research paper tries to explain the concept of Islamic banking and discusses the various financial products offered by the Islamic banks. It weighs the various pros and cons of Islamic banking in India. SWOT analysis and Porter’s Five Forces Model are used to provide a thorough analysis of feasibility and scope of Islamic banking in India. The paper reveals that India has a great potential for Islamic banking provided necessary changes in the regulations and guidelines are made to evolve it has an alternative system of banking. The law makers should view it from  an economic point of view rather than a religious view for its successful implementation and  for the welfare and upliftment of financially excluded sections of society that do not participate in conventional banking due to their religious beliefs.

The role of stakeholders is critical in addressing challenges with or problems in small-scale sports events. The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions of the event stakeholders toward sports events, with a particular focus on the role of residents in a tourist destination. The goal is to understand their perceptions with respect to different topics and in particular to the sustainable development of the tourist destination. This case study focuses on the World Junior Alpine Ski Championships 2019 in Trentino Val di Fassa—Italy (JWC2019). Applying a mixed methodology, the study analyzes the stakeholders during the sports event (quantitative method) and the point of view of the residents in their stakeholder role after the sports event (qualitative method). The main findings of this study show that residents differ from tourists and other stakeholders in terms of their perception of the event and its strengths. But when it comes to the perceptions regarding the territory, the groups of stakeholders analyzed do not seem to have systematically different opinions. Some paradoxes do, however, emerge with respect to the residents’ awareness of their role as stakeholders and the implications of the event with respect to sustainability and how such an event may underpin a concept of sustainable development for the territory as a whole.

Solar Receiver

The maximum output of the solar receiver is achieved when the solar receiver is perpendicular to the Sun's rays. Different attempts were made for making the solar receiver utilizing the maximum portion of incident solar radiation. The use of a dual-axis sun tracker versus a fixed-flat position is evidently profitable, but from economic point of view it is questionable. A mathematical conception has been developed and applied in this chapter to determine the energy gain resulted from different installations of PV systems. The experimental measurements and the model results show that, it is not economical to track the sun in hot and sunny regions because of the overheating effect on the PV panels' performance. The provided data, in literature, compare the performance of dual or single axis tracking with fixed solar receiver even the long term solar tracking is possible and effective with a negligible increase of the price of the unit of useful energy. This can be achieved by choosing the best monthly or even seasonally optimum tilts. The introduced concept of energy gain, see chapter 3, is calculated in this chapter all over the world and it was found that it is very useful in evaluating the performance of different types of tracking. This concept allows to evaluate the effectiveness of daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, seasonally, biannually and yearly adjustment of the solar receiver tilt angle in relation with the ideal instantaneous dual tracking.

Zoonoses caused by diverse etiological agents, are important from public health and economic point of view, and are reported in humans and animals from developing and developed nations of the world. Cryptosporidiosis is an emerging food and waterborne zoonotic protozoan disease that has been detected in both human and animal populations all over the world. The source of infection is exogenous, and the ingestion of contaminated food and water is the principal mode of transmission. The oocysts of Cryptosporidium are abundant and pervasive in ambient water, where they can survive for months. It prefers epithelial cells found in the digestive tracts of a wide range of hosts. Waterborne transmission through drinking water or a swimming pool is common, resulting in outbreaks in several nations throughout the world. The disease can manifest itself in sporadic or epidemic forms. The infection has been recorded in immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals. The watery diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, anorexia and low grade fever are most commonly observed symptoms. The laboratory help is required to make an unequivocal diagnosis of disease. The preventive strategies include excellent hygienic measures to avoid the contamination of food and water by oocysts of Cryptosporidium. In addition, the role of veterinarian is highly imperative for the management of disease in domestic animals.

The World

The world we lost, and now barely understand, was one where everyone knew her place, and her attendant duties. Civilized groups were the likeliest to insist on a diversity of rôle and rule. Primitive societies are ones where there are rather fewer such distinctions. Slaves and merchants offered a way of being outside the orders, and from the older point of view, the life of slaves and merchants is exactly what the ‘liberal’ ideal entails. No one can count on her connections; everything is up for sale; no one is dishonoured by the acts of friends or family; only animal passions keep us all together. Even in societies that profess egalitarian theories, castes and classes re-emerge. If there is another option it may lie in drawing, as the ancients did, a clear division between selfhood and nature: even in a traditionally hierarchical society it is possible to recall the mere selves that play their various parts. In a would-be egalitarian society that hopes for something more than the hedonic or agonistic bonds that may bind small-scale communities together, recalling, and reconstructing, that distinction may be even more important.

Downburst winds with their great destructive power have caused destruction of numerous engineering structures around the world. Study on wind loadings of downburst is essential and hot in the wind engineering field. But various meteorological factors of downburst formulation are not considered in existing research methods in the wind engineering field. In this paper, a downburst case is simulated by using a numerical weather prediction model ARPS from the meteorological point of view. The simulation results successfully reproduce the wind field characteristics while downburst occurring. The study in this paper aims at introducing meteorological method and knowledge to the wind engineering field, and the results of mesoscale numerical simulation in this study will be used in the small-scale numerical simulation as initial data in further study.

Nowadays sustainable development is a central concept for our age. It is both a way ofunderstanding the world and a method for solving global problems. It is currently a crucial concept for the world to understand and to implement. This research study focuses on examining the foundations of achieving sustainable development and main factors influencing this process at a national level. The aim is to characterize those factors which influence this implementation process mainly from the economic point of view. However, other noneconomic factors related to human well-being and organizational development are not omitted. Countries’ political and legislative environment are also evaluated since they can have significant implications for development of individual organizations conducting their business activities within countries' borders. The focus of examining the topic of countries’ sustainable development is on the cross-country comparison. Values of some important indicators are also provided in terms of comparison among selected countries which enables us to explain the reasons for differences in countries’ development, as well as predictions for the future. Historical perspective provides data which enable to evaluate influence of selected factors in terms of countries’ path to achieving sustainable development.

The paper is based on the study of Lithuania facing the need for huge investments in both the replacement of the Ignalina nuclear power station and the replacement of district heating production units in many of the existing systems. Lithuania has a big technical potential for implementing small‐scale combined heat and power production (CHP) systems. Meanwhile, such implementation needs public regulation to become feasible not only from a socio‐economic, but also from a business economic point of view. The study focuses upon the analysis of methods for the incorporation of technical, economical and environmental considerations into large‐scale investment decision‐making in the energy sector. The research study could be a guideline for determination of national potential for high efficiency CHP not only from the technical, but both the economical and the environmental point of view. Based upon the results of the study investigation and analysis, areas for improvement in current energy sector investment decision-making processes are highlighted, and areas for further research are recommended.

The present paper deals with an actual global issue of the contemporary market: drugs safety. The article is a review paper, built around a hot topic: drugs security and pharmaceutical scandals. The starting points of our analyses are publications and authors from all over the world, with a complex literature relating risky and controversial aspects of drugs consumption. One result of our study is the fact that there are serious breaches of ethics and protocol in clinical trials, not only in those conducted in the Third World countries. In such conditions, where is the real drugs consumer protection? It is difficult for the global multi-billion dollar drugs market to be totally controlled. That is why, nothing will change within the consumer protection field until the consumers become enough outraged in order to take action and to protect themselves.
