This paper discusses about unprecedented challenges in consequence of globalization and competitive market conditions which manufacturing industries have to face with. Besides changing environmental regulation and social and regional demand, these challenges, will introduce e-manufacturing concept to deal with the recent needs. Manufacturers become more agile and nimble by development of internet. On one hand, it affects differently on the sections of process industries. On the other hand, it makes more demand for products and more opportunities to sell and market the products. To support this new concept, E-Manufacturing enablers will be introduced and finally, developments for next generation are discussed.

As IPR and competition laws share the same economic rationale, they both are crucial for the establishment of competitive and innovative market conditions. On the other hand, these two regimes are conflicting to each other, IP grants monopoly, whereas competition laws seek to undo monopolistic and restrictive trade practices. Therefore, focus has been shifted towards how these two separate regimes are complementary and conflicting to each other through their goals, how competition policy is effective on IPRs, and IPRs on competition policy. IPRs granted by patents, copyrights, and trademarks, etc. play an important role in fostering innovation and sustaining economic growth.

Oligopoly and oligopsony have been studied extensively. However, the dual figure of the oligopsonistic-oligopolistic intermediary has not been. This dual personality has a double negative impact on the market, on one hand reduces the demand to producers who face a competitive market, lowering prices as buyers, and on the other hand reducing its offer by raising the prices as sellers. In this way, their benefits are increased buying cheap and selling expensive, affecting effective demand of the consumer and the effective supply of the initial producer.

The financial structures that make use of money flow for “easy money” or cheating purpose are called financial pyramids. Recently financial pyramids intensively penetrates IT area. It is rather suitable way of the fraud. Money flow modeling and activity analysis of such financial systems allows identifying financial pyramids and taking necessary means of precautions. In the other hand even investing companies that function normally when market conditions changes (e.g. interest rates) eventually might become financial pyramid. Modeling of financial pyramids allows identifying signs of such instability.

The first debate in this article has to do with the very possibility of intergenerational justice beyond our obligations towards members of other generations while they coexist with us. Here, we ask ourselves whether we owe anything to people who either have died already, or are not yet born. Differences in temporal location mean that people may not exist at the same time — be it only during part of their life — which raises special ethical challenges. It is one thing to decide whether we owe anything to the next generation(s). It is another to define what we owe them. Most standard theories of justice have tried to answer this difficult question. This article focuses on a comparison between a reciprocity-based and an egalitarian account of justice between generations. It then turns, on the one hand, to a brief discussion of alternative theories and, on the other hand, to implementation issues.

The fact that Japan started capitalization and industrialization much later than advanced countries has imparted considerable peculiarities to her economy. Japan has had to establish her manufacturing industries amidst com¬petition from advanced countries. This was the case when she first suc¬ceeded in establishing her light industries as export industries; so it has been in recent times with the exportation of chemicals and machinery, and will be in the future with the exportation of manufactured goods newly developed. On the other hand, there are many young rising nations which are speeding up their industrialization. Some of them have already succeeded in establishing their light industries as export industries, replacing the im¬ports from Japan in their domestic markets and competing with Japanese goods in world markets.

Genetics is the science of heredity. In the Western world modern genetics has a history of nearly a hundred years, beginning with the discovery of laws of heredity established by Mendel in 1866. Then, early in the 1930s, a Soviet genetics emerged. The foremost proponent of this new science is the Soviet Academician and agriculturist Lysenko. Let me sum up briefly the differences between Western and Soviet genetics. Modern genetics has established that hereditary material is located in the chromosomes of the nucleus of reproductive cells (sperms and eggs). This material is organised into functionally separate units called “genes.” Hence, it is known as the gene theory or the chromosome theory of heredity. On the other hand, Lysenko and his followers believe that every particle of an organism plays a part in heredity; the particles assimilate the influence of environment and pass it on to the next generation. Thus, if an organism can be forced or trained to assimilate certain environmental elements, there will be hereditary changes in their offspring. Lysenko borrows the prestige of Michurin, a skilful and successful Soviet horticulturist by calling this doctrine Michurinism, while we refer to it as Lysenkoism.

Mandate in the Qur'an is a duty that must be maintained by Muslims and by always asking for help from Allah SWT in order to maintain that mandate.  Mandate has a broad meaning, including a variety of understandings, but the substance is that people must have a sense of responsibility for what is assumed on their shoulders.  Aware that everything will be accounted before the God. Children are the gifts of Allah SWT that should be guarded, nurtured, guided, educated and also must to develop all of their potential according to their nature.  On the other hand, children are the next generation of the coreligionists.  Children are the most beautiful gift from god and at once be a  trust (entrusted) that Allah SWT gives to every parents.  Therefore, parents should be care to the needs and development of their children, so that they could be grow into healthy children, both physically and spiritually, and Berakhlaqul karimah and have a high intelligence. That how great the role of the next generation to the success of a Nation.  Education of children has gained top priority.  Because education is a very important factor in changing a civilization, so education cannot be separated from life. When someone blessed with a child then she/he has an obligation to fulfill the rights of the child, that was described by the Prophet in a hadith contained in the book of Tanbih al-Ghafilin.  Narrated from Abu Hurairah RA The Prophet actually said: "there are three rights of the child to his/her parents; given a good name at birth, taught the Qur'an when it is intelligent (tamyiz) and married when it has found".

While the legal defenses of martyrdom-seeking operations of al-Qaʿida jurists and their sympathizers emphasize individual acts of self-renunciation, the state-building project of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s self-declared caliphate of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) instrumentalized martyrdom-seeking operations as fundamental to its political objectives. Alongside the arguments of Abu Bakr al-Naji and Abu ʿAbdullah al-Muhajir, the authors and jurists of ISIS—foremost among them Turki al-Binʿali, a former student of Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi and grand mufti of ISIS—maintained Jihadi-Salafi narratives of theodicy and self-renunciation but identified specific gender roles for men and women in the state-building project. Women were to practice self-renunciation away from the battlefield and within the household, where they were to prepare the next generation of fighters. Men, on the other hand, were expected to go forth and fight in God’s cause, seeking martyrdom if necessary.
