Population And Environment

Climate change and disasters are fast emerging as the most significant challenges of the 21st century as global risks with impacts far beyond just the environment and implications on national security and development. As the world continues its contemporary patterns of production and consumption, the future is at immense risk. Climate Change has the potential to alter the ability of the earth’s physical and biological systems to provide goods and services essential for sustainable development. Today, a number of mainstream population and environment groups are claiming that population growth is a major cause of climate change and that lesser birth rates are the solution. If we cannot stabilize population, there is not an ecosystem on earth that we can save. If developing countries cannot stabilize their populations almost immediately, many of them face the disintegration of ecosystem. But in reality, even if we could today achieve zero population growth that would barely touch the climate problem — where we need to cut emissions by 50 to 80 percent by mid-century. Given existing income inequalities, it is inescapable that over consumption by the rich few is the key problem, rather than overpopulation of the poor many. In the absence of any commitment in the next two decades, their economies would become locked into a trajectory of elevated emissions and unsustainable development, while the cost of reversing the trend will become prohibitively high. This paper examines several outstanding issues on the interface between population and environment. Significantly, the study would come out with some policy recommendations to the policy makers.

The development of irreversible organ damage (IOD) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) significantly increases the risk of death, worsens the quality of life and significantly increases the cost of treatment. The development and implementation of specific tools that will promote early identification of the risk of unfavorable outcomes is a priority. The article presents literature review on a new method for prediction of unfavorable outcomes in SLE – frailty index (FI, vulnerability index). FI, developed by a group of international experts on the basis of the database of the international cohort of SLE patients – SLICC (Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics) – is easily reproducible in real clinical practice and can be used in patients with an early stage of SLE to predict the risk of death, the development of IOD. and hospitalization. The SLE Forecasting index of unfavorable outcomes (SLICC-FI) appears to be a promising clinical and research tool for identifying those who need more careful monitoring and an individual therapeutic strategy at an early stage of the disease.

Labour Turnover

Subject Insider labour markets Significance Ten years after the global financial crisis, unemployment remains high in many countries but has reached new lows elsewhere. Differentiating the experiences are the institutions, laws and norms in which employment is embedded, particularly the protection granted to ‘insiders’ -- incumbent workers protected by high labour turnover costs. The distinction between insiders and outsiders is gaining prominence in the policy recommendations of international organisations. Impacts Technological change and more open markets will continue to exacerbate the unpredictability of jobs and livelihoods. Labour constraints are a political response to layoffs but at the cost of less flexibility; the imbalance is being rectified. Countries with the most rigid labour markets will continue to experience high unemployment, particularly among the young.

Higher Education Internationalization

Although there is a growing awareness that international students are an important source of potential global talent, few studies have tried to relate the issue of student mobility to that of competition for global talent. This chapter is an effort to fill the gap. Particularly, it is aimed to conceptualize the major approaches to attracting and retaining global talents with respect to the role of higher education institutions. We have observed and characterized three models of attracting global talent, namely the Anglo-Saxon model, Emerging economies model and Continental Europe/Nordic model. The challenges and the good practices reflected in each model along with policy recommendations will help the policy makers and practitioners take a broader view on their higher education internationalization strategies.

The Relationship

This book examines social change in Europe in recent years and how it relates to religion, minority populations, and gender, and their interacting effects on inclusion and conflict. Bringing together international experts in a wide range of fields, the book looks closely at various practices of social service provision in a number of different countries, exploring links between values, welfare, and social change, with particular attention to changes brought about by recent austerity measures. The book provides an overview of the relationship between welfare and religion, which developed during the 20th century. It explores the idea of secularisation or religious change and the increasing visibility of religion in northern Europe, the fragile organisation of welfare in southern Europe, and the complex situation in post-communist Europe, where the transition from a command economy to a neoliberal system has created new forms of exclusion. The book highlights the need to put research results into practice through policy recommendations, and makes special reference to a welfare project called WaVE.

Simple Models

The purpose of the present note is to illustrate that although our knowledge of the consequences of devaluation is too limited to warrant reliable policy recommendations, it is well within the competence of the economist to build simple models illuminating certain aspects of the devaluation problem. We shall concentrate on only one aspect, the increase in costs of production which results from a price increase of imports. The question posed is: what increases in cost of production will occur if Pakistan decides to devalue its currency by 50 per cent? It will be shown in the next section that, on certain assumptions, this question can be solved easily with an input-output model. In Section II some implications of our calculations will be given. Finally, in Section III some conclusions will be drawn.

The Cost

Approximately 25% of all new medicines approved in recent years and in development today are biologicals. The complexity of biologicals, the investment needed to meet ever more stringent regulatory and payer requirements, combined with the needs of an ageing population, mean the cost of these medicines and the burden on governments and insurance companies is growing. However, the introduction of biosimilars has broadened treatment choices for physicians and their patients and, by increasing competition, reduced healthcare expenditures. The biosimilar market in Europe is the largest in the world, representing approximately 60% of the global biosimilar market and growing consistently year on year. As of October 2019, 54 biosimilars of 15 originator biological medicines have marketing authorization in Europe. European countries, with their large biosimilar markets and diverse healthcare systems, serve as valuable examples of different approaches to biosimilar policy. Several studies, research papers and position statements have been published on such policies. These findings, along with real-world policy and procurement examples from European countries, provide an opportunity for other countries to learn from. This paper will review the different approaches to biosimilar policy across the European continent, highlighting principles which can be applied to develop an efficient and sustainable biosimilar market.
