The
global economic crisis is a temporal phenomenon, which we can rarely escape. For a decade, the world have experienced about a dozen of economic recession, which had a significant impact on global level. An economic crisis is a sudden deterioration in the economic situation and outlook. Its sectoral scope, time and location can vary from one area of ??a single region for a brief period to the entire global economy for several years, then we speak of economic downturn or, worse, global recession.
The business cycle theory considers that economic crises are recurring events in economic history. This view is not consensual. Possible causes for economic reasons do not find a consensus. However, you can definitely note a mistaken monetary policy (interest rates become too low, which caused an economic bubble of overinvestment or malinvestment, or when excessive interest rates strangle the credit).

Augmented
Reality (AR) refers to different methods to realistically augment reality with virtual objects. Most often, AR is a visual enhancing of the real world by introducing any virtual, imaginary objects in it. AR has numerous applications in various areas: video games, cinematograph, and television, as well as areas related to 3D environmental or 2D graphic design. In addition, AR plays key role in different researches, where simulation is an important part of the process.
The basic technology used in AR today is an image recorded with camera, recognized using algorithms, and enhanced by superimposing virtual imagery on a user’s view of the real world, thus providing a composite view. It offers the possibility of being immersed in a virtual environment with visual, haptic, auditory perceptions in real time. Read the rest of this entry »
Mars
is the fourth planet in order of increasing distance from the Sun and the second by increasing mass and size from the eight planets that make up the solar system. Its distance from the Sun varies between 1.381 and 1.666 AU (206.6 to 249,200,000 km), and its orbital period equals to 686.71 days.
It is a terrestrial planet, such as Mercury, Venus, and Earth. Mars is about ten times less massive than Earth, but is ten times more massive than the Moon. Its topography is similar to both the Moon, with its craters and impact basins, and Earth, with its formation of origin climatic and tectonic such as rift, volcanoes, mesas, valleys, fields of dunes and polar ice caps. On Mars, there are the highest mountain in the solar system, called Olympus Mons and the largest canyon – Valles Marineris.
Mars has now almost null geological activity with only minor events occurring episodically on its surface. You can still observe landslides, rare geysers of CO² in the polar regions, sometimes earthquakes, or rare volcanic eruptions with a small amount of lava. Read the rest of this entry »

Many
health officials have raised concerns about future environmental health issues. Globalization, technological advancements, and population increase have led to a number of environmental changes. These changes have various impacts on the health of human beings (Roberts, 2010).
For instance, the development of nanotechnology, despite having its advantages has a number of health risks. Nano-sized materials are used in various products like cosmetics, clothes, and even medical products. This technology is bound to become more advanced and be applied in many areas. Unfortunately, very few people understand the health risks that come with nanotechnology. According to Bernstein & Edwards (2008), the minority groups in the US will become the majority by the year 2042 due to globalization. This will become a challenge to food service employees who will have a problem understanding the food safety literature of different cultures. Health inspectors will also have a hard time communicating with food service operators who do not understand English. Globalization will also lead to the spread of infectious diseases such as AIDS and Ebola (Canton, 2006). Read the rest of this entry »
Vegetarianism
is an ideology characterized, in the first place, by abstaining from eating flesh of any animal.
According to the Oxford Dictionary, the term “vegetarian” comes from the word vegetable. The dictionary says that the word became popular after creating the Vegetarian Society in 1847, but it shows still earlier occurrences. Vegetarian Society, which credits itself with creating the term “vegetarian,” says it was formed from the Latin word vegetus (vigorous, vivid).
Vegetarians do not eat meat, poultry, and fish. Eggs and dairy products are only ignored by a part of vegetarians. Vegetarian’s attitude to honey is ambiguous. Mushrooms are traditionally referred to plant food, although modern science sets them in a separate kingdom. Some vegetarians, in addition to certain type of foods, also exclude clothing and other various products, which are made of fur, leather, etc. as well as products, which comprise components of an animal origin, such as gelatin or glycerin, and the products which have been tested on animals.

Time
is one of the fundamental concepts of philosophy and physics, a conventional measure of the relative motion, as well as one of the coordinates of space-time, along which are stretched the world lines of physical bodies.
In philosophy, time is an irreversible course (moving in only one direction – from the past through the present to the future), where happening all existing processes. However, there are theories of symmetric time, for example, the Wheeler-Feynman absorber theory.
Most modern scholars consider crucial the distinction between the past and the future. Modern science believes the information is transferred from the past to the future and not in reverse. Second law of thermodynamics also corroborates the accumulation of entropy in the future. Read the rest of this entry »
