CONT

It has been argued that developing societies face particularly demanding health challenges and do not have the economic resources to face these challenges using the "find it and fix it" curative approaches. If a curative approach is adopted to the exclusion of effective health promotion, people will become ill at a faster rate than they can be "cured. "

English

Subject field(s)
  • PAJLO
  • Property Law (common law)
OBS

This term, as applied to an occupant of real estate holding adversely, is not construed as implying actual enmity or ill will, but merely means that he claims to hold the possession in the character of an owner, and therefore denies all validity to claims set up by any and all other persons.(Black, 5th, p. 1048)

OBS

"Hostility" is the very marrow of adverse possession; it has even redundantly been called adversity. To say that possession is hostile should mean nothing more than that it is without permission of the one legally empowered to give possession, usually the owner. Any kind of permissive use, as by a tenant, licensee, contract purchaser in possession, or easement holder is rightful, not hostile. The better view is that unexplained possession is presumed hostile, so that it is up to the one who wished to do so to establish that it is rightful. (Cunningham, Stoebuck, Whitman, 1984, p. 760)

The term "bad faith" is not simply bad judgment or negligence, but rather it implies the conscious doing of a wrong because of dishonest purpose or moral obliquity; it is different from the negative idea of negligence in that it contemplates a state of mind affirmatively operating with furtive design or ill will.(Black's, 6th ed., 1990, p. 139).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Industries
CONT

Color can dramatically influence the flavor perception of food. Food technologists often use various colored lights in their tasting sessions to mask the color of the foods being taste-paneled so tasters will make their acceptability judgments based on flavor rather than color. One study dramatically illustrates the influence of color on food acceptability... In this study, panelists were offered a dinner of steak, peas and french fries abnormally colored but served under color-masked conditions. Panelists enjoyed the meals until normal lights were switched on. The appearance of blue steak, red peas and green french fries was so overwhelmingly objectionable to some of the panelists that they became ill.

The inability of non-industrialised countries to keep pace with population growth, migration from rural to urban areas and the demand for clean, safe drinking water and proper sanitation means that water-borne zoonoses will continue to exact an increasing burden of ill health in these countries.

Étant donné que les pays non industrialisés ne parviennent pas à apporter une réponse adaptée à la croissance démographique et à l'exode rural, ni à fournir une eau potable de bonne qualité ou des systèmes d'assainissement efficaces, les zoonoses d'origine hydrique vont sans doute devenir un fardeau de plus en plus lourd pour la santé publique de ces pays.
