Interdisciplinary research into people and environmental settings in the Third World is only beginning to develop, but without an appropriate focus. An agenda of study and major issues that should inform research are outlined in this paper. It is demonstrated that fruitfulness of research in the Third World lies in the identification of culturally relevant form and unit of space of study, as well as of the contexts in which various environmental appraisals are to be made. Both issues are identified and described. It is advocated that appropriate environmental research associations be formed, on regional and international levels, to coordinate and stimulate further research relevant to national environmental design policy.

The Third World

Environment-behaviour-design research has contributed to the contextual understanding of man – environment interaction and promoted a more people-centred approach to environmental planning and design. Much of research, however, has concentrated on European and North American environments, and research techniques developed to date have not been fully assessed in the context of the Third World to stimulate an appropriate research focus and help provide much needed information on planning and designing Third World environments. In the present review, basic techniques in environmental research are explored to assess the various ways in which they may be best applied to provide a context for the growth of studies in the Third World. It is demonstrated that needed man – environment – behaviour – design information may be best derived by focusing on mundane analysis of environmental attitudes, values, and preferences of ordinary people, using a range of social survey and verbal interviews centred on surrogate stimuli environments.

The purpose of the article is to solve the problem of social crises and human degradation in the secular paintings of the Canadian-Ukrainian artist William Kurelek (1927-1977) on the example of selected works. Methodology. General scientific and interdisciplinary research methods were used to solve the set tasks: analysis, synthesis, hermeneutic and comparative methods. The method of formal and stylistic analysis made it possible not only to identify the origin of individual works, but also to characterize the artistic processes that took place in the Canadian-Ukrainian environment and which are reflected in the work of W. Kurelek. This methodological approach helps us to characterize the composition of the work (space, time, color, light, composition, perspective). Scientific novelty. For the first time in the context of art discourse, on the example of specific works of the artist, we analyzed the acute social problems that William Kurelek showed in his paintings. Conclusions. The article analyzes the preconditions for the creation of some secular works by William Kurelek, as well as the artistic and stylistic features of his paintings on current social issues. In particular, we analyze the problem of globalization, social crisis and spiritual and ethical degradation of personality. Social issues are divided into: temptation, race, oppression of "inferior", abortion, fear, the routine of the "third world", the contrast of good and evil, justice and betrayal, love and hate, and others.

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.

The article discusses the future of mobility in the light of energy resources. Fossil fuel will not be available for a long time - not to mention its growing environmental and political conflicts. In analysing the potential of biofuel it is argued that the high demands of modern mobility can hardly be fulfilled in the future. Furthermore, the change into using biofuel will probably lead to increasing conflicts between the fuel market and the food market, as well as to conflicts with regional agricultural networks in the third world. Petrol imperialism might be replaced by bio imperialism. Therefore, mobility on a solar base pursues a double strategy of raising efficiency on the one hand and strongly reducing mobility itself on the other.
