Do the ages of death differ for different Ethnicities? Introduction Age at death is assuming that death was not caused by an accident can be a difficult thing to model given the many variables involved in determining an individual’s health. Several studies have been put forward at attempting to explain the potential population differences in the year of death at different times. The explanations for disparities in life expectancies have been widely explaining on the basis of socio-economic differences among members of the population. In the U.S, for instance, while there has been a general growth in the life expectancy due to generally improving life standards, researchers have observed a widening gap in the age at death of Americans (Olshansky, et al., 2012). The gap varies with total years of schooling, total household income and differences in certain races.

Global Food Waste Global food waste is a far-reaching problem with a tremendous impact on environmental, ethical, and financial costs. The history of global food waste is closely associated with globalization. Global food is lost during and after harvest, handling, processing, storage, and transportation. The long food supply chain across an ever-networked world contributes to global food waste since most of it is wasted or lost at every stage of the journey from the farm to the table. The most vulnerable foods, in this case, include fresh foods such as meat, dairy, vegetables, and fruits. The causes of food loss are related to insufficient cold storage, equipment limitation, or inadequate infrastructure. The paper expressly discusses various ways to reduce the food waste problem in the world. First, regional and international food companies, together with food chain actors ranging from fishers, farmers, and herders to global corporations, should undertake a rigorous education plan. The education plan should be embedded in promoting sustainable food systems. Melikoglu, Lin, and Webb record that some food is wasted or lost before it leaves the farm,…

As a complex multifactorial condition, with behavioral, environmental, genetic, and socioeconomic origins, obesity elevates the risk of debilitating mortality and morbidity. Borrowing primarily from epidemiologic evidence published within the last half a decade, this paper provides a research-based discussion of the obesity epidemic and the use of nutritional guidelines as control measures. Even though obesity has led to an increased risk of chronic diseases, the use of nutritional guidelines offers significant steps towards reducing the effects of the disease in modern society. The transition to processed foods due to industrialization, technology, and population…

The Stake in the South China Sea. Geographical and Geopolitical Considerations. Introduction The South China Sea is among the most complex geographical and geopolitical ocean spaces in the world with highly contested territorial and marine jurisdiction claims. This document, therefore, aims at providing the geographical and geopolitical background to the highly conflicting national maritime claims made by the South China Sea littoral states. This documentation thus outlines the key characteristics of the coastal geography of the South China Sea, the implications of its semi-enclosed nature and the baselines that have been defined along its coasts. Among the features that may cause conflict among the sovereignties are insular features. These features undergo an examination concerning their potential maritime claims and role in the delimitation of maritime boundaries.
