Abstract:

The study is based on the important idea that in the modern world increases the influence of the religious factor and, as a consequence, the population returned to traditional values, despite the globalization processes in all spheres of life. Long-term study of the Halal market in Russia, whose capacity is increasing every year, confirms the above. Alternately analyzes the infrastructure features of the Halal market, its current status and prospects of development in the future.  Addressed to scientists of all fields, and practitioners of the market Halal.

The modern world was created through the combination and complex interactions of five grand transitions. First, the demographic transition changed the total numbers, dynamics, structure, and residential pattern of populations. The agricultural and dietary transition led to the emergence of highly productive cropping and animal husbandry (subsidized by fossil energies and electricity), a change that eliminated famines, reduced malnutrition, and improved the health of populations but also resulted in enormous food waste and had many environmental consequences.

Abstract:

India experienced substantial mortality decline in the decades after 1971. By 2016 life expectation probably averaged about 68 years. However, much of the mortality decline resulted from narrow technical developments (e.g. immunizations) and was not always matched by commensurate advances in the state of the population’s health. The Emergency of 1975–77 led to sterilization excesses, and there was a backlash against the family planning programme. Subsequently, political leaders generally avoided talking about family planning and population growth. Partly as a result, the pace of fertility decl

How does the ebb and flow in the abundance of individuals over time get marked onto chromosomes to record genetic history?

However, the volume of data shared remains low. This has been partially attributed to lack of data management capacity and lack of knowledge of how and where to share data.

Abstract:

Unqualified, “alcohol” refers to ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH), the favored drug of much of the world’s population. It was probably discovered following experimental fermentation, and archaeological investigations suggest that beer was being habitually consumed earlier than 6000 BCE. Although often considered a “moral failing,” the neurobiological changes that underpin addiction to alcohol are increasingly understood. This has been accompanied by development of an increasing variety of interventions for alcoholism with demonstrated efficacy, these spanning the social, psychological, and pharmacologic

Abstract:

Between 1979 and 2010 local leaders and rural families across China concealed the existence of millions of girls from government officials and the national census. The single child policy (1979–2015) was introduced in 1979, and the central government’s goal was to reduce population growth through strict birth control. Yet, at the same time, many rural parents had strong incentives not to comply with the birth control policy because under economic reforms in the 1980s and 1990s, larger families meant increased labor and income. However, most journalists and scholars reported that the combinatio

Abstract:

Magnesium sulfate is currently the drug of choice for prophylaxis against eclampsia in women with preeclampsia and first-line treatment for eclampsia. In this population, medication administration error is a frequent cause of magnesium toxicity. Symptoms of toxicity are linked to increasing serum concentrations, but routine monitoring is not recommended. Instead, deep tendon reflexes and respiratory rate are the most commonly monitored parameters. However, magnesium serum concentration should be monitored when magnesium toxicity is suspected or in patients at high risk of toxicity. The gastroi

Abstract:

Since the 1970s, we have seen increasing interest in the integration of Muslims as the most visible ethno-religious minority group in Britain. The term ‘integration’ as used in this chapter is concerned with the social aspect of a process in which Muslims, as well as other minority ethnic people, required and/or would like to participate in society. More elaboration of different theoretical and academic interpretations of this term is discussed later in this chapter. The social aspects of integration mainly revolve around the maintenance of Muslims’ distinctive identity and practice (Modood, 2

Abstract:

The Asian American population is increasing rapidly and, not unpredictably, so are its mental health needs. A number of cultural factors and stressors common to Asian Americans pose obstacles to the successful employment of Western psychotherapy approaches and counseling---for example, the central role of the family in Asian life and the culturally based, traditional stigma associated with mental health problems. The authors, all practicing psychotherapists, focus on the critical aspects of transference and empathy in their consideration of the mental health approaches and therapies appropriat

Abstract:

The urgency to pragmatically address the challenges of managing incidental findings on neuroimaging is driven by the recent development of very large, population-based imaging studies, and ever-increasing use of imaging within research, clinical, and commercial sectors. Incidental findings are complex and variable. Their clinical significance ranges from benign to life-threatening; detection may be influenced by imaging, reader, and participant characteristics; and feedback may generate follow-up and anxiety. Appropriate management of incidental findings is therefore challenging, but essential

Abstract:

Cardiac catheterization plays an increasing role in the management of pediatric and adult patients with congenital heart disease. These days, the catheterization laboratory often also functions as a satellite operating room with hybrid capabilities that involve both the surgeons and interventional cardiologists. Delivering anesthesia in this environment is challenging, and the physical space is limited. Exposure to ionizing radiation increases in proximity to the patient during fluoroscopy. Furthermore, the medical complexity of the patient population cared for in this setting continues to bro

This chapter deals with the occurrence, determinants and primary prevention of dementia. Dementia is one of the major causes of functional dependence, poor quality of life, institutionalisation and mortality among elderly people. The risk of dementia increases almost exponentially with advancing age. As the population ages, dementia poses a serious threat to public health and social welfare system of our society. Accumulating evidence suggests that cardiovascular risk factors significantly contribute to the development and expression of dementia. Thus, adequate management of vascular risk fact

Abstract:

Since the 2016 presidential election, Americans have witnessed countless stories about Appalachia: its changing political leanings, its opioid crisis, its increasing joblessness, and its declining population. These stories, however, largely ignore black Appalachian lives. Karida L. Brown’s Gone Home offers a much-needed corrective to the current whitewashing of Appalachia. In telling the stories of African Americans living and working in Appalachian coal towns, Brown offers a sweeping look at race, identity, changes in politics and policy, and black migration in the region and beyond.

This collection of essays highlights the controversies surrounding racism in sports and African American athletes, examining the racial discrimination that exists in one of the most public arenas in the 21st century. Despite increasing diversity in the American population, race and racial bias continue to be significant issues in the United States. Sports—one of the most visible and important subsets of American culture—directly reflect our society's beliefs about race.

This book theorizes that information is a critical factor for subnational government (SNG) capital market formation and development. It empirically tests the stated relationship between information resolution institutions and mechanisms of information resolution on SNG borrowing. Based on empirical results, analyses of underlying fundamentals of city credit quality, and the study of contexts of information resolution reforms, the book recommends policy measures for central governments, regional and local governments, and financial sector firms to build capital markets for subnational borrowing
