Population structure refers to how a population is grouped by age and sex. It is summarized using a population pyramid. To interpret a pyramid, you look at the base to see recent trends, the top to see life expectancy, and the middle to see if any age groups stand out. The dependency ratio is calculated by dividing the non-working population (ages 0-14 and 65+) by the working population (ages 15-64). This ratio is directly linked to a country's population structure.

Armed conflicts in Africa over the past 15 years have cost nearly $300 billion that could have been used to alleviate poverty and improve health and education. Ongoing conflicts have led to increased infant mortality, malnutrition, illiteracy, and decreased life expectancy and access to healthcare. Child soldiers have been involved in 21 ongoing armed conflicts worldwide, especially in Africa, where children as young as 9 have fought and been forced to commit atrocities against their own communities. Efforts to curb the use of child soldiers include international agreements and demobilization programs, but more funding is needed for effective, long-term reintegration support.

Attacks on education have a widespread and substantial impact on children's access to education in conflict-affected countries. An estimated 50 million primary and secondary school-aged children are out of school in conflict zones, more than half of them girls.

Case studies on countries like Syria, Central African Republic, and Pakistan show how conflicts can destroy school infrastructure and reverse education gains, with millions of children having their education interrupted for months or years. However, humanitarian funding for education remains extremely low at only 1.4% of total humanitarian aid in 2012, preventing education systems from adequately responding to needs after attacks and restoring schooling.

The Torah and The Vedas: A Comparative Study by John SlifkoJohn Slifko, Ph.D
This document provides a comparative study of Judaism and Hinduism. It summarizes the key beliefs and practices of each religion, noting their striking commonalities, including sacred texts, dietary restrictions, daily rituals, emphasis on morality, scholarly traditions, and social stratification. It theorizes that the similarities between the two religions can be attributed to theological cross-pollination occurring thousands of years ago through trade relationships between ancient Jews and Hindus, as documented in biblical and other early textual sources.
In this presentation, academic scholar, John Slifko includes key research findings in cognitive science from Mark Johnson's book, "Moral Imagination: Implications of Cognitive Science for Ethics" to reveal how imagination has an essential role in ethical deliberation. By a ‘Moral Law theory’ Johnson shows how every aspect of morality is imaginative— our fundamental moral concepts, our understanding of situations, and our reasoning about those situations are all imaginatively structured and based on metaphor.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

2. War disrupts the normal
trajectory of children's lives,
due to the fact that tens of
thousands of children are
forced out of their schools
during these times.
3. Children who might have
finished high school by the age
of 18 are now child soldiers or
have been in refugee camps for
so long that they have no
education at all.
4. Getting a proper
education can keep war
from happening in
certain areas by making
the area more civilized.
6. LEAVING
SCHOOL
Many children are forced
to run for their lives, as
they are in immediate
danger for trying to
attend school. This splits
apart families and causes
children to have to start
working to provide for
themselves or to join
armies themselves to
survive.
7. Refugee camps do not
start out with
educational facilities in
them. Those that have
some educational
resources are fortunate
but have them in
extremely small
quantities.

8. CREATING AN
UNDERDEVELOPED
COUNTRY
According to the Peace Pledge
Union, “As the conflict continues
without an end in sight and
humanitarian organisations
continue to struggle to provide the
immediate material needs of the
victims of the war, it is increasingly
possible that a whole generation
might be left without a basic
education. This turn of events alone
will plummet a developed country
into an underdeveloped country.”
9. This slowly starts to
deteriorate a country’s
ability to conduct
business, plummeting
the economy further
and further down.
