Harmful use of steroid lotions widespread in India: Dermatologist
In India, the rampant abuse of skin creams and lotions that has steroids is dangerous and no longer possible to manage. This is based on the warning of a dermatologist from Gujarat-based.
Steroids, which are also called “corticosteroids,” are drugs that can reduce infection or swelling and used for different given treatments. But these can result to significant and constant harm especially on thin skin like on the face and the area between the abdomen and the thigh on either side of the body.
The secondary, typically undesirable effect of these steroids includes skin pigmentation and malfunction, tiny and expanded blood vessels on the skin and bacterial and fungal infections.
Abuse can result to resistance of infections that can it hard to detect and cure.
In India, the law ordered that steroids can be sold only with an authorized medical practitioner’s recommendation but current steroids are excluded and can be bought over the counter or without prescription.
Finally, apart from these problems, another issue that results to the abuse of current steroids is the limited availability of license dermatologist.

Globalization in the Philippines

Globalization has presented a controversial influence. It has been considered as a series of actions that significantly contribute for the growth of the global economy and cannot be avoided and cannot be undone. Some view it with conflict that causes inequality between nations, inflicts damage to employment and social development. This detailed information is a general view of some features of globalization and search helpful ways in which countries can benefit this action while still existing from real situations in relation to possible actions and its threats.

Globalization gives important contributions for the growth of economy but it is a gradual process. Some countries have engaged in globalization and quickly developed compared to other participating countries. It is because these countries have been combined with each other to completely develop and decreased the poverty.On the other hand, the globalization in developing countries is working well because it contributes to the welfare of their economy, market, society, labor, technology and to lessen the poverty level.

Finally, globalization can give better improvements to the Philippines if the political leaders implement an economic advancement using global marketing and permitting foreign investors to help improve the economic status. By doing those objectives, there is a possibility that the poverty level will decrease and there’s an increase in work force to help the people earn a living. Unfortunately, many Filipino workers still choose to work abroad in order to earn bigger salaries than working in their own country. Education is still the most significant factor. The outlook of the society is to get a right education because it is their entry for better opportunities.

World’s Dependence on Oil

World’s dependence on oil is a threat for national security, threat for environment, and threat for global economy too. America has recently spotted the problem and organized one meeting to come together and discuss on the problem. If you will look at the stats, out of all 70 percent exported oil is used by America alone.

• America uses 400 million gallons oil every day for transportation. This heavy addiction on oil can affect overall economical growth in America.
• Oil addiction targets national security too as most of the countries are exporting oil at very high risk.
• America spends more than $1 billion everyday on oil that disturbs economic balance. Dollars are in hands of foreigners and chances of jobs are declining every day.
• Burning oil or fossil fuels in heavy amount impacts environments too.

The discussion concludes that this is only America who can end our oil addiction. Addressing this problem is not an easy task but nor it demands for life taking scarifies. So come ahead and take decision in favor of your national, in the favor of world!!!

Like in China, it is also well-known and widespread in Thailand those people who sell something in the street, either from a stall or van or with their goods laid out on the sidewalk. They offer various types of food especially those who sell rice-and-curry.

There is a popular fast food chain in Thailand named Pepper Lunch which is managed by Japanese.  It offers a hot dish which includes meat, vegetables, and rice. Various kinds of meat and vegetables are served.

The version of Pizza Hut in Thailand is The Pizza Company, maybe because the franchisee of the said fast food in the past is Thailand Pizza Hut. Pizzas in Thailand are Thai flavor, specifically the tom yun gung pizza. Thailand has so much love with curry and that’s why every food in the country is filled with curry flavored dish especially pizza.

Burger King is not widespread in Thailand unlike KFC which is popular that serves spicy foods like a very spicy chicken wings called Wing Zaab and Hot’n’Spicy fried chicken. Including in their Thailand food is the curry sauce over rice.

Since Thai flavor is distinct, Mcdonalds balanced their menu.  If you happened to drop by and eat in McDonalds Thailand, you will normally find porridge made from rice called McJok which is served for breakfast and a peppery meat salad called McNamtok which is served for lunch and dinner.

First, what do we understand by natural resource depletion? In simple words, natural resource depletion is basically consumption of a resource faster than it can be replenished. Natural sources are available as renewable and non-renewable sources of energy however; use of any of these forms beyond their rate of replacement leads to natural resource depletion.

The problem of natural resource depletion has almost doubled in the last 100 years with the drastic increase in population which has even led to population explosion. To meet the needs of the human population, the rate of depletion of natural resources has become threatening for the environment. It is certainly a big risk for the survival of the future generation as well.

The fast consumption of fossil fuels leads to emission of greenhouse gases, causing environmental problems like global warming and climate changes.

On the global platform, the awareness regarding this problem has spread among people and they are even making efforts to start using renewable sources of energy like solar, biogas, wind and geothermal energy. However, it must be understood by every individual that any form of energy should be used judiciously in order to make it last rather than exhaust to fulfill the needs of one generation.

China’s Illegal Fishing Expeditions Threaten World Waters
Many unrecorded documents for goods are purchased and switched off the printed pages in China and this includes the fish. That’s an increasing responsibility for the coastal guards of China’s neighbors and other countries in West Africa as well as for the global environmental guards.
Throughout this year’s first nine months, the officials of South Korea grasp and penalized the two hundred sixty six fishing ship for running an illegal fishing in the territory of South Korea. This reported by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries of South Korea. In addition, four thousand six hundred illegal Chinese fish vessels were captured within the ocean of South Korea, according to Korea’s Yonhap News Agency.
Those illegal fishing vessels stumble in an immense space, often under covered, dragged with force. During the time that China regularly report with disproportionately and emphasis their national marine catch to the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), they immensely fail to report the weight in tons of stumbled fish by far off navy. This is based on the research conducted by the University of British Columbia and funded (PDF) by the European Parliament’s Committee on Committee on Fisheries.
According to reports, they measured that the Chinese fishing vessels in China that were seized within the foreign waters have a standard of 4.6 million tons of fish every year between the year 2000 to 2011, a total of twelve billion dollars.

Japan must enhance surveillance system to protect territory
The action of China in breaking the terms of agreement to Japanese jurisdiction have been rolling. The government should construct a detailed statement that indicates an impending danger and secure protection system, taking into account that it will be a continuing struggle.
Ships of Japan Coast Guard have been organizing and carrying out regular patrols throughout the Senkakus and commanding Chinese vessels to depart from Japanese waters every time they put oneself deliberately into a place where one is unwelcome.
Organized body of Chinese air and maritime have reinforced and innovated their military paraphernalia and planned to build naval and air control in the East and South China seas.
The apprehension of central and local governments needs to share a sense of importance requiring swift action concerning the security of territorial solidarity.
The Japan Coast Guard organized to a certain limited extent in dealing with government vessels of China through assembling patrol boats throughout the country, but inside the present economic year it will also implement the process under which it will give way to run twelve huge patrol boats on a full-time jurisdiction.
It is significant to build a persistent aerial surveillance system at the earliest possible moment using the three jet planes.
The cooperation of Japan Coast Guard and Self-Defense Forces is very important in constructing a system effective of securing defense smoothly and continuously in expectation of different situations.

Our hearts are becoming fragile by the day. If we look at the statistics of USA, 610,000 people die due to heart disease every year. A large number of these deaths could have been prevented with the help of heart transplant but still there are too few hearts.

The first human heart transplant was performed by South African surgeon Christiaan Barnard. Soon surgeons around the world were transplanting hearts. But the problem was that all the recipients died within a year of transplant.

Since the late 1960s, doctors have been working on artificial heart. The most influential device was made by Willem Kolff, who invented the first dialysis machine for kidney.Kolff collaborated with fellow engineer, Robert Jarvik to work with him at University of Utah. What we got was Jarvik-7. It was made of two pumps, four valves and two air hoses. Due to its large size (like refrigerator), it could only be implanted in adults.

The US FDA approved the use of Jarvik-7 to be used on humans in 1982. Total five patients were implanted with Jarvik-7 but none of them survived more than 18 months. The device has been modified and renamed many times since then. SynCardia, a descendant of Jarvik-7 has been used many times.

Scientists are now working on a pulseless heart in which there is no heartbeat.
