Of the many important events that occurred in the two decades of the 21st century, the process of accelerating urbanization—especially in third-world countries—became something quite phenomenal. It's never even happened before. In the early 2000s, only about 45 percent of the population in the third world lived in urban areas, by 2020 the number had reached about 55 percent. Between now and 2035 the percentage of the population living in urban areas will reach about 85 percent in developed countries. Meanwhile, in developing countries will reach about 65 percent. By 2035, it is also projected that about 80 percent of the world's urban population will live in developing countries' cities.

THE “third world” of the developing and, for the most part, newly independent nations is, for Communists of all brands and allegiances, both a crucial arena of political competition against the “imperialists” and the center of their hopes for new victories. Yet there are important differences in the way Moscow and Peking view these opportunities. The Soviet leadership believes that the many poor and ambitious countries will, later if not sooner, decide that Communism offers them the best prospects for raising their status in the world. Chinese Communist propaganda, on the other hand, calls for an ever more militant struggle of “national liberation” to expel the “imperialists” from Asia, Africa, and Latin America and to unite the developing countries under Peking's leadership. Thus, in addition to being a principal focus of Communist hopes and efforts, the question of the “correct” policy toward the third world has unleashed deep-set rivalries and antagonisms between and within ruling and nonruling Communist parties alike.

SummaryThe traditional legal process has been inefficient in ensuring the right to receive food in developing countries, thereby preventing the estalishment of true food security in the Third World. This situation is largely due to developed countries giving priority to their own economic interests to the detriment of the hunger problem and of the already weak negotiating power of developing countries regarding any agreement reached on this issue. The mechanism for sustainable development does, however, offer new possibilities to developing countries. The cooperation and assistance duties imposed on states under international agreements on food entitlement compel developing countries to use that mechanism to promote their interests regarding the supply of food.

ABSTRACTFour major principles for planning library education programs in[the] Muslim World are considered of importance: the environmentalneeds, the application of programs, the cultures, backgrounds andtraditions of the nation, and the future changes. The Muslim World isacquiring expertise largely from non-Muslim nations throughrecruiting expert planners or through sending their students todeveloped countries to acquire knowledge, then apply it. Bothapproaches are seen to have some problems at the time of acquisition andapplication of planned programs. These problems are discussed andplanners are expected to be aware of these principles before they starttheir plans. Blind application of library technology is considered themain reason for the failure of library education programs in someMuslim World countries. A balance of application, in accordance withthe four principles, is recommended.IntroductionI. The Muslim WorldWhat is meant by the phrase “the Muslim world” is those countrieswhich have a high percentage of Muslims compared to non-Muslims.The Muslim World is a part of what is called “less developed countries,”“developing countries,” the “Third World,” or the “South.” The phases areused to refer to those countries-including the Muslim world-which areless advanced in technologies due to the existence of many factors, someof which are: ...

Malnutrition is very prevalent in the Third World, but still in developing Countries and is found in certain communities in developed Countries. Several laboratories examinations are affected by malnutrition. Recently, gestational or neonatal malnutrition were considered to contribute to the development of chronic diseases in adulthood, this phenomena was named programming or metabolic imprinting. Similar consideration were suggested for Nuclear Medicine examinations. Here we review the literature about this aspect and present our own data showing changes in biodistribution of a radiopharmaceutical compound in different animal models of adult malnutrition or caused by maternal malnutrition programming.

Since 1950, and increasingly through the 1960s, designers from developed countries tried to help with the design problems of developing societies. They were usually more successful when they lived in the country in question for an extended period and worked closely with local people. During the 1970s developing countries became more independent and able to design for themselves. Little has been written about design in the Third World other than official and conference reports. A seminar in 1975 demonstrated that cooperation between countries, leading to self-help, should replace reliance on ‘international experts’. The most urgent need now is for a breakthrough in alternative energy technology, and this is most likely to come from the Third World.

Abstract:The state of the art is summarized showing many efforts but only few results which can serve as demonstration examples for developing countries. Education in health informatics in developing countries is still mainly dealing with the type of health informatics known from the industrialized world. Educational tools or curricula geared to the matter of development are rarely to be found. Some WHO activities suggest that it is time for a collaboration network to derive tools and curricula within the next decade.
