Human Chagas disease originated in Latin America, being spread around the world in relation with multiple bioecological, sociocultural, and political factors. The process of the disease production and dispersion is discussed, emphasizing the human migration and correlated aspects, in the context of globalization. Positive and negative consequences concern the future of this trypanosomiasis, mainly in terms of the ecologic and sociopolitical characteristics of the endemic and nonendemic countries.

Human migration is an activity that is as old as humanity itself. Yet it remains a sensitive and politically charged subject, creating tensions in societies that experience it. It is closely linked to economic, environmental, demographic and political factors. It has become a conspicuous feature of the world political and demographic scene, with an estimated number of 22 million migrants in the past year. It shows every sign of accelerating in the future, not only because of poverty, civil war and politics, but also from environmental reasons that, in the future, may cause still larger–scale migration. Migration will be influenced by a host of such factors as climate change, sea–level rise, desertification, and environmental degradation generally.

This research paper is aimed at thinking about the problem that the current demographic scenario means for mankind because of the excessive increase on the birth rates in poorest social class in the globe. This overpopulation is consuming the global resources at a fast pace and it is taking the world to its limits. This paper focuses on the increase of the population in India country 1.350 million inhabitants and more specifically on New Dahli its capital city whose large population is expected to be larger than China population by 2030. This study used the inductive approach to research to analyze the globe cities and its many problems which must become business and migration centers from populations focused on single cities which are making economic poverty, public health, education system and jobs a problem difficult to cope with. This approach allows to be in line with the current demographic scenario which uses the international organization data to monitor the global overpopulation. The results showed that a timely control over birth rates and the citizen´s education might minimize the demographic impact that the world currently experiences. In short, this situation should be regarded as the problem of the century one due to the negative consequences that should be efficiently treated in the ethics, social, politics and human.

Quo Vadis Latin America?" is a question that disturbs many people, since nowhere else in the world do there exist so many revolutionary tensions. In order to reply to the question and to exercise influence on the future it is necessary to ask first: "Where do you come from, Latin America?" For the reality of each people is its present, plus the historical context from which it emerges. It is a history four hundred years old, made up of light and shadows, of some spectacular achievements in the past and, of disastrous failures. But it is now tense with expectations because the frustration these failures have bred announce dawn rather than twilight.

AbstractBackgroundScreening for Trypanosoma cruzi among blood and organ donors is essential to reduce Chagas disease transmission. The World Health Organization (WHO) has prioritised curtailing transmission in blood banks (BBs) and transplantation centres (TCs) by 50% by 2025 and 100% by 2030. This study aims to update the situation on T. cruzi screening strategies in BBs and TCs to evaluate the evolution of seroprevalence and the achievement of screening milestones globally.MethodsWe used published articles and government reports on seroprevalence data and screening policies in BBs and TCs across the world. We conducted meta-analyses of T. cruzi seroprevalence estimates by who region, endemicity status, and country, and used meta-regression to identify the covariates influencing the estimates. Publication bias and sensitivity analyses were also conducted.ResultsBased on 99 studies and reports and found a global pattern of increased universal screening policies (USPs) in BBs from 1990 to 2018. We found information for 50 countries, of which 44 (88%) have implemented USPs and 21 (42%) achieved 100% coverage by 2015. Out of the 21 Chagas-disease endemic countries, 20 are in advanced USPS stages, and 18 achieved 100% coverage by 2015. Latin America (LA) was the first region to start USPS since the 1990s and 19 countries are in advanced stages of implementation and by 2015 there is evidence of 100% coverage in 15 LA countries. In the Caribbean Region, USPs are still in early implementation stages and by 2015 only five out of 24 countries have achieved 100% coverage. Outside Latin America and the Caribbean, there are USPs only in the USA, which initiated in 2007 and with 100% coverage in 2016. In Europe, there are no USPs, but some countries have implemented selective screening of at-risk donors in the UK, Spain, France and Switzerland. Whereas Sweden and Italy have implemented a deferral system. For TCs, national guidelines have been produced in some European countries since the 2000s; in the USA, USPs started since 2002, but 100% coverage is yet to be achieved. There is a global decrease in T. cruzi seroprevalence among blood donors from the 1970s to 2010s, particularly in endemic countries, where the T. cruzi pooled seroprevalence decreased from 2.42% (95% CI 0.75%-7.53%) in the 1970s to 0.38% (95% CI 0.30%-0.60%) in the 2010s. Seroprevalence in non-endemic countries has remained relatively stable between 1990s and 2010s around 0.01% (95% CI 0.01%-0.03%). Country and decade were identified as the two major predictors of seroprevalence in BBs. Data on TCs was scarce.InterpretationDespite global progress in T. cruzi screening policies, both USPs and 100% coverage are yet to be achieved. Seroprevalence in BBs have decreased in endemic countries, likely due to a combination of vector control, increased USPs and voluntary donation, and improved diagnosis. To achieve the proposed WHO goals by 2025 and 2030, USPs in TCs must become available in all endemic countries. In BBs, USPs should be a priority in the Caribbean region as well as non-endemic countries where migration from endemic countries is important.

The Evolutionary history and domestication of Camels are largely unexplored because of the lack of well dated early archaeological records. However, limited records suggest that domestication of Camels likely happened in the late second millennium BCE. Over the time, camels have helped human for their basic needs like meat, milk, wool, dung to long routes transportation. This multifaceted animal has helped the mankind to connect through continents and in trade majorly through the Silk route. In India, both dromedary and Bactrian camels are found and their habitat is entirely different from each other, dromedaries inhabit in hot deserts and Bactrians are found mostly in cold places (Nubra Valley, Ladakh). Fewer studies on Indian dromedaries have been conducted but no such studies are done on Bactrian camels. It is needed to study the genetics of Bactrian camels to find out their genetic affinity and evolutionary history with other Bactrians found in different parts of the world. Furthermore, parallel studies on humans and Bactrian camel are required to understand the co-evolution and migration pattern of humans during their dispersal in different time periods.

AbstractChagas disease is a zoonosis caused by Trypanosoma cruzi and transmitted by triatomine bugs. Autochthonous to Latin America, Chagas disease has spread globally through travel and migration. New drugs are needed urgently, in particular drugs that cure the chronic stage. This is where high-content imaging makes a key contribution: assays with fluorescent parasites in cell culture allow to determine pharmacodynamic parameters and to better assess the antichagasic potential of new molecules.

Abstract: The study focuses on discussing the phenomena of Islamic populism politics, its role and impact to the future Indonesian democracy. More specifically this study addressed two major issues, namely Islamic populism, and democracy in Indonesia. By using qualitative study and analysis through critical sociology theory, this study found that the phenomena of Islamic populism as a global political phenomenon which occurred in numerous countries in the world affected the process of democracy in Indonesia. This is shown by the occurrance of primordialism issue, mainly roots from the Islamic identity. In fact, the problem of Islamic populism politics for the construction of Indonesian democracy system could be seen from two factors; First, Islamic populism politics which practically uses the religion issue has triggered religious intolerance. This gives impacts on the uprise of exclusivism which ends up in sentimental behavior; Second, exploitation of Islamic populism issue gives negative consequences on the incline of intolerance behavior trend in politic sector both politics in the legislative area, especially the political dynamics and at the executive level.الملخص: تركز الدراسة على مناقشة ظواهر السياسة الشعوبية الإسلامية ودورها وتأثيرها على الديمقراطية الإندونيسية المستقبلية. هناك ثلاث بيانات للمشاكل في الدراسة ؛ الشعبوية الإسلامية والديمقراطية في إندونيسيا. باستخدام الدراسة والتحليل النوعيين من خلال نظرية علم الاجتماع النقدي ، وجدت هذه الدراسة أن ظاهرة الشعبوية الإسلامية السياسة العالمية التي حدثت في العديد من البلدان في العالم أثرت على عملية الديمقراطية في إندونيسيا. ويتجلى ذلك من خلال وقوع قضية البدائية التي تعود جذورها بشكل أساسي إلى الهوية الإسلامية. في الواقع ، يمكن رؤية مشكلة استخدام السياسة الشعوبية الإسلامية لبناء نظام ديمقراطي إندونيسي من عاملين ؛ أولاً ، تسببت السياسة الشعوبية الإسلامية التي تستخدم مسألة الدين عملياً في عدم التسامح في القطاع الديني. ويؤثر هذا على صعود النزعة الاستئثارية التي تنتهي بالسلوك العاطفي ؛ ثانيًا ، يؤدي استغلال قضية الشعبوية الإسلامية إلى عواقب وخيمة على ميل نزعة سلوك التعصب في القطاع السياسي.Abstrak: Studi ini fokus membahas fenomena politik populisme Islam, peran dan pengaruhnya terhadap masa depan demokrasi di Indonesia. Terdapat dua permasalahan penelitian yang diangkat dalam kajian ini; fenomena populisme Islam, dan terakhir adalah demokrasi di Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan jenis penelitian kualitatif dan analisa melalui teori sosiologi kritis, studi ini mendapati temuan bahwa fenomena populuisme Islam yang terjadi di banyak negara dunia, saat ini juga telah mewarnai demokratisasi di Indonesia. Demikian ditandai oleh mengemukanya penggunaan isu primordialisme, terutama yang mengakar pada aspek identitas. Dalam kenyataannya, problem penggunaan politik populisme Islam terhadap bangunan sistem demokrasi di Indonesia dapat dilihat dari dua hal; Pertama, politik populisme Islam yang dalam praktiknya memanfaatkan isu agama telah menimbulkan intoleransi di sektor keagamaan. Hal ini berdampak negatif terhadap bangkitnya eksklusivisme yang berujung pada perilaku anarkisme dan kekerasan yang mengatasnmakan agama; Kedua, eksploitasi isu populisme Islam berakibat buruk terhadap realitas politik. Baik politik di wilayah legislatif, terlebih lagi dinamika politik di level eksekutif.

The article explores the relationship between education and migration, statistics of children from migrant families in educational institutions in Russia, access to education for children from migrant families in Russia, and the integration of migrant children in schools in Russia. Recommendations on state interaction with the children of migrants are offered. Population movements and migration processes are an integral part of human history. Another modern phenomenon, globalisation, entails fundamental changes in the world and the world market. Migration is a constant concomitant phenomenon of these changes. Education plays a crucial role in supporting third-country migrants in adapting to a new country and culture as well as in building social relations in their host communities. Education is a key resource for participating in the economic, social, political and cultural life in today’s education and knowledge society.Experience has repeatedly shown that differences in occupational status and chances on the labour market and associated income, social welfare living standards and public reputation, as well as differences in political, social and cultural participation, are linked to differences in educational attainment.Social integration of migrants through participation in the institutions of the host society, such as the education system and the labor market, is undoubtedly one of the most significant social problems in Russian society. For migrant children, language and structural assimilation in the education system in the sense of formal equality of opportunity are key to social integration in the host country.The main donor countries, from which most people migrate to Russia, are primarily the CIS countries. About 30 % of the total flow of migrants in Russia, finding with family and children. The birth rate among migrants is higher than local ones. Accordingly, Russia faces a big challenge, led by migrant children, from whom it can get a big contribution in the future, if they get a good education.The main problems faced by migrant children in Russian schools are lack of knowledge of the Russian language, discrimination, refusals of enrolment, etc. The aim of the study is to examine the educational situation of migrant children in Russian schools, as well as their education as a contribution to the future of Russia.
